Chapter 380 The era of group buying has arrived
. March 6th, Jingzhe, the third solar term among the 24 solar terms, refers to the spring thunder in the sky awakening the hibernating insects on the ground, which also means spring is back to the earth and all things are reviving.
The temperature in Linchuan began to warm up, and the precipitation gradually increased. Spring ploughing and planting came, and the spring rains continued.
During this period, Wei Lanlan had selected a group of backbone personnel from the Ministry of Commerce, and Sunai's application for off-campus internship was also approved. After a group of sixteen people gathered, they went to Kyoto together.
Wei Lanlan contacted a GIS company called Gaode, while Sunai contacted a freight company called Ocean Supply Chain.
The businesses of both sides are carried out simultaneously, cooperating with each other while also being independent of each other.
In fact, before coming, both of them had a vague idea about the boss's purpose. Jiang Qin said it was okay and they would know when they got there.
And when they arrived, looked, and studied, they really understood what they needed to do.
The purpose of negotiating cooperation with Gaode is to add an online navigation function to group buying, so that consumers can see the store location at a glance when choosing to go to the store.
It not only saves the trouble of making phone calls to inquire about the location, but also allows customers to quickly understand the distance between the target store and themselves.
It is said that the Shanghai World Expo Museum is currently using this system, and Jiang Qin also came here for this system.
On the other hand, Sunai also discovered something very interesting in the ocean supply chain.
This company is engaged in import and export trade and has its own logistics park which covers a large area. The goods they transport cover various fields and the categories are complex and diverse.
Add to that the tedious work steps of receiving, inspecting, packaging, and transporting goods, and this logistics park should have been a mess.
However, Sunai discovered that this was not the case.
They have their own freight management system, where the upstream department enters the data and the downstream department inspects and receives the goods, which not only saves time but also saves labor costs.
After observing for about three days, Sunai understood that the boss wanted him to develop a product management system suitable for group buying based on their freight management system.
After the system is launched, merchants can use the commercial backend of group buying to list the goods or services sold in their stores, and can also change information such as inventory, seats, business hours, etc. at any time.
You should know that the store information input before group buying is done by the technical department.
Several newly launched group-buying websites are also following this model, proactively collecting merchant information and then arranging their own technicians to manually help these merchants put their products on the shelves.
It would be fine if there were dozens or hundreds of companies, but as the market expands, the workload will double.
How many businesses are there in one city? How many businesses are there in ten cities? How many businesses are there in a hundred cities? When you expand across the country, how many people do you need to keep up to date with all the business information?
However, once group buying develops its own product management system based on the cargo management system of the ocean supply chain, the originally complex and tedious process will be delegated to the merchants.
It is a win-win situation for merchants to be the upstream ones and directly display their information to downstream customers through the commercial background of group buying.
"I'm a little shocked as to when the boss made these plans."
"I suddenly understood why the boss was not in a hurry to go to the battlefield."
At the Kyoto Hilton Hotel, Sunai and Wei Lanlan exchanged their gains over the past few days and were shocked in their hearts.
Yes, whether it is positioning services or product management systems, it is still just an idea at the conceptual level so far, but even a fool can know that when this idea is realized, it will be fucking amazing.
Suixintuan copied the group buying business model and dared to show off in the national market, but they certainly didn't know that the group buying they copied was just an initial version.
The boss has been suppressing the development of group buying for the past year, and only now has his true fangs been exposed.
They couldn't imagine how desperate group buying websites like Sui Xin Tuan would be when group buying entered the battlefield.
"That's too much information. How about reporting it?"
"Well, I should report it."
Wei Lanlan took out her cell phone and called Jiang Qin: "Hello, Boss..."
But then, her eyes froze for a moment: "Ah, it's the boss lady, I missed you so much, it's a pity that we left in such a hurry that we didn't get to meet you."
“…”
"Yes, I'll report to the boss."
“…”
"Oh, okay, I'll wait a moment then."
Sunai glanced at Wei Lanlan: "What's wrong?"
Wei Lanlan lowered her voice and said, "The boss took his wife out for a spring outing and they are now in the tree."
"In a tree?"
"Well, the boss lady said she wanted to eat the sour jujubes on the tree, so the boss climbed up the tree." Wei Lanlan said as she reached out and turned on the speakerphone.
At this moment, there was a hushing sound suddenly coming from the opposite side, followed by a cry of "Oh my God", and the world seemed to stop.
Wei Lanlan and Sunai held their breath, not daring to breathe, wondering if they would have a chance to have a meal.
But soon, Jiang Qin's voice came from the receiver: "Lanlan, what's wrong?"
"Boss, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I'm too proud to be tough. I just got a little scrape. Tell me what's wrong."
Wei Lanlan and Sunai then recounted their observations and findings from the past few days, and laid out the concepts of merchant positioning and product management system.
Jiang Qin fully affirmed what the two people had seen and learned, and told them to keep it strictly confidential and not to make it public, and to come back immediately after the cooperation was concluded. The same thing went for Sunai, who was to return to work quickly after understanding the system.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qin raised his head and looked around. As far as he could see, there were endless mountains, which were extremely beautiful.
This is a small hill next to the western suburbs. The scenery is beautiful in early spring. Today he brought Feng Nanshu out specially to get some fresh air. If he hadn't fallen from the tree just now, it would definitely be a perfect day.
But when he turned around to look at the rich woman, he found that she was looking at Jiang Qin's arm with tears in her eyes, and one hand was carefully covering his wound.
"Does it hurt?"
"It hurts. It makes you greedy. Do you still want to eat dates?"
Feng Nanshu shook his head desperately, his eyes sparkling with tears: "I won't eat it again."
Jiang Qin spread out his hand, revealing a handful of small sour dates in his palm: "Unfortunately, I have already picked them."
"Jiang Qin, you are a good person."
"Try one and then tell me if I'm a good person or not."
Feng Nanshu took the jujube, ate one, and immediately stuck out the tip of her pink tongue, obviously unable to bear the sourness.
Jiang Qin laughed twice and thought to himself, who would have known that when the group buying market was filled with smoke and the flames of war were gradually spreading, the final winner would still be leisurely climbing trees in the mountains, teasing his lovely friends, as if nothing had happened.
What is the pattern? Perhaps the more war is going to happen, the calmer the situation is.
"There were a lot of small spikes there just now. Did they prick your feet?"
Feng Nanshu shook his head in confusion: "It didn't get pierced."
"Are you sure? Why don't you check it out, just in case?"
"?"
Jiang Qin sternly untied the rich woman's shoelaces and took off her sneakers, revealing a cute little foot wrapped in white cotton socks, with a serious expression like a doctor.
A multi-millionaire boss who doesn't like golf, horse riding, or yachting. That's all he can accomplish.
While Wei Lanlan and Sunai were continuing to make progress in their work, the backbone members of the marketing department selected by Tan Qing also went to various major cities separately. In three days, they hired back the people who had previously done marketing for Zhihu and signed a formal cooperation agreement with them.
Then they hired a group of fighting coaches to train them every day.
The events include weighted marching, grappling exercises, 1-on-1 fighting, and 1-on-N fighting.
The recruits were also very puzzled, thinking, why do they need to learn all this? They can't expect to fight again in the future, right? One-on-one fighting is fine, after all, a random punch can kill a master, but what about 1-on-N? Is this a free-for-all? Damn it.
You should know that their sales team in each city starts with ten people at least. If it is 1 vs. N, each person has N opponents, which means it is an 11N situation.
Is this a real job? Although I have my doubts, who dares to say that it is not good to get paid just for exercising every day? So everyone is very motivated.
In this way, the training lasted for half a month, and the people in the field sales team made rapid progress. 1 against N is fake, but if they are facing someone they have never practiced with, 1 against 2 should not be a problem.
Moreover, many people have developed tendon muscles, their physical condition is getting better and better, and their mental state has become very high.
It was six o'clock in the morning in late March. The temperature in Hangzhou was only 12 degrees and the morning breeze was quite cold. The people at the Hangzhou branch were doing a five-kilometer weight-bearing training. When they passed a bridge, they suddenly heard a sound of falling into the water.
A group of thirteen people came over to take a look and found that it was a girl trying to commit suicide, so they immediately took off their weights and went into the water to save her. In the end, they were presented with a banner and the incident was reported in the local news.
After Jiang Qin learned about this incident, he made a special phone call to express his condolences and gave a bonus to the rescuer.
Everything is developing in an orderly manner. Although there are occasional accidents, most of them are good things.
At the same time, the national group buying market is also constantly changing its structure.
Sui Xin Tuan started to expand its business in Shanghai after the new year, and has now established a firm foothold. Just as Ye Ziqing had planned, it has begun to expand its business towards Kyoto.
But at this moment, Sui Xin Tuan is no longer the only one showing off its strength in the group buying market.
Lashou was launched online in mid-March. Before Sui Xin Tuan could react, it directly occupied Kyoto as its target city, hired Mr. Ge as its spokesperson, and promoted the slogan of Lashou for group buying.
WoWo.com subsequently went online and established an online mall, signing up more than one hundred merchants in Shanghai within three days.
Subsequently, more than 100 group buying websites such as 24quan, gaopeng.com, manzuo.com, first group buying, discount collection, yiwotuan.com, daily good goods, and help you save have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and more and more Internet companies are on the road to building websites.
The era of group buying has arrived.
