After the Hongyu website is launched, due to the limitations of China's network environment, it plans to focus on self-operation and then launch third-party services in a few years.
It's worth noting that in recent years, the best-selling items in express delivery services have been books and CDs. After Hongyu opens its website, it will focus on selling books and CDs. Of course, Chuyu has also signed an appliance service agreement with Donglin Electric Appliances, and appliances will also become the main business of Hongyu's website.
Hongyu and Kuaisong also signed a strategic cooperation plan.
Going forward, all of Hongyu's orders will be delivered by Kuaisong. In the short term, with few users on the Hongyu website, Kuaisong will not be able to make much profit. However, with the explosive growth of Hongyu's users in the future, Kuaisong will surely receive substantial revenue from Hongyu.
After testing the website, Hongyu found no problems and officially launched it.
Chu Yu told the leaders of CCTV about this and invited CCTV reporters to interview him.
These days, many people don't know what a computer or the internet is, let alone online shopping.
People without computers wouldn't be too bothered by this news, but it's a different story for internet users in big cities.
Shopping in big cities is inconvenient, especially for appliances, which often require queuing. If Donglin Appliances could provide online services and sell on the Hongyu website, customers could simply fill out an order at home and wait for delivery.
Hongyu will have a dedicated logistics company for delivery.
Zhuang Wei is a male seller in the local computer mall. To be honest, he sells pirated CDs. He occasionally sets up a stall to sell pirated CDs to passersby to earn income.
These days, selling pirated DVDs can land you in jail, but Zhuang Wei's father needs dialysis all year round, and the family is struggling financially. When Zhuang Wei learned that selling DVDs could bring in huge profits, he didn't care about going to jail and continued to sell DVDs under the overpass every day, despite the pressure of breaking the law.
There was a CD that many people inquired about, but Zhuang Wei couldn't buy it because this Hong Kong film wasn't considered mainstream. Then one day, Zhuang Wei saw an advertisement for Hongyu selling CDs. It was said that Hongyu had over five thousand CDs for sale, a large inventory.
With a try-it-and-see attitude, Zhuang Wei used a computer in the computer mall to open the Hongyu website.
Yoho!
This website is really amazing. At least when the network speed is not fast, the website hardly lags and the response speed is very fast.
The website background is bright red. When you open the webpage, you'll see push notifications on the homepage, mainly for books. Zhuang Wei isn't interested in books, so he clicks directly on the search page.
He searched for the CD he wanted and quickly got the result.
Hongyu really does have these niche CDs. Zhuang Wei also found several CDs that he couldn't buy himself. He added them to his shopping cart one by one. These CDs were all genuine and not cheap. He spent a total of 89 yuan on them.
Zhuang Wei clicked to place an order online and found that he could choose to pay online or cash on delivery.
Zhuang Wei chose cash on delivery, but the shipping cost was very expensive. He needed to pay 9 yuan for shipping on his items, which was a considerable sum these days.
While Zhuang Wei was struggling with his decision, he suddenly noticed a small button next to him. It turned out that there was a discount promotion, and orders over 98 yuan could get free shipping.
Zhuang Wei quickly selected another movie. As expected, there was no shipping fee after the amount was reached. Zhuang Wei was very happy. He clicked the confirm order button and found that there was an order waiting to be delivered in his order list. He waited for his things with great anticipation.
Zhuang Wei thought it would take several days to receive it, but the next morning, Zhuang Wei was still half asleep when he heard someone knocking on the door.
When the door opened, I discovered that the person was wearing a uniform from Hongyu Express.
"Hello, Mr. Zhuang, is this what you bought from Hongyu? Please confirm and pay for the order."
Zhuang Wei was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?"
"That's right. Our headquarters is in Beijing, and there are many logistics points in Beijing, so orders from Beijing can arrive on the same day."
Zhuang Wei was shocked. After checking the order and finding no problems, he paid 100 yuan and signed a payment slip.
"If there's a problem with the disc, who can I contact for after-sales service?"
"You can contact our online customer service or call our customer service hotline. Rest assured, Hongyu is a reputable company and will not ignore our customers' after-sales needs."
Zhuang Wei was very satisfied. After confirming that the discs were fine, he burned pirated discs. Of course, this was not a good thing to do, but he had no other choice. He was a seller of pirated discs.
But I have to say, Hongyu online shopping is really amazing!
Zhuang Wei's family has never bought a TV. If he can earn some money recently, he might consider buying one for the family. He might as well place an order with Hongyu, since they deliver to his door anyway.
There are many buyers like Zhuang Wei, but most of them are buying books.
Hongyu's book library is enormous, containing almost any book imaginable, both domestic and international. To expand Hongyu's library, Chu Yu signed agreements with many publishers both at home and abroad, and also commissioned the translation and publication of some untranslated classic works, hoping to bring them to market as soon as possible.
With money, Chu Yu could get things done easily. Hongyu Online Bookstore quickly reached 100,000 books, much to the delight of Chinese users who had difficulty buying books.
These days, people love reading. Many people know that Hongyu offers online book purchases, so they place orders there. To save on shipping costs, many companies or classmates pool their money to place orders together, thus reaching the required amount and waiving the shipping fee.
Occasionally, Hongyu also offers free shipping promotions.
Free delivery is available for orders over 9 yuan.
On this day, Hongyu's user base grows rapidly.
It takes time for something to go from nothing to something, but it often doesn't take long for it to go from something to becoming a wildly popular product.
Hongyu is developing faster than Chu Yu imagined.
In just six months, Hongyu's online shopping user base has increased a thousandfold.
Because of the solid foundation laid by Kuaisong Logistics, Hongyu's website has seen a surge in users after joining forces with Kuaisong. Now, many people are familiar with online shopping, although Hongyu's online shopping offerings are not yet comprehensive enough.
However, Hongyu's prices are lower than those of Xinhua Bookstore. On Hongyu's website, you can buy genuine products at low prices and return or exchange them easily.
Price and after-sales service are always the concerns of customers.
Hongyu achieved these two things, earning a good reputation among customers. That year, Hongyu achieved sales of 13 million yuan, which was a remarkable achievement for a newly established website.
Chu Yu saw Hongyu's potential and decided to expand its scale the following year, hiring one hundred employees, hoping that Hongyu could achieve rapid expansion in the coming year.
