Chapter 447 I really want to surrender to the enemy, what should I do?
Halfway through New Year's Day, the heat of the consumer market has begun to decline step by step.
After all, it is winter, and it is not easy to go out. Gatherings and outings have already been done on the holiday day, so staying at home becomes the choice of most people for the rest of the time.
By noon of the next day, posters announcing that the group buying New Year’s Day transaction volume had exceeded 500,000 orders had been plastered all over all the cooperating stores. The five golden zeros were very dazzling.
In this regard, LaShou and Nuomi have remained unusually silent.
"Five hundred thousand, what a boast."
"The data came out at midnight the previous day, and the posters were already posted at 7am the next day. I don't believe it if they weren't printed in advance!"
"But it's really useful..."
"I heard from the grapevine that group buying was profitable during the New Year's Day. Isn't this more outrageous than half a million?"
“It’s just a short-term profit, and we still have to return it to the market later.”
"But we have been operating in Shanghai for more than five months and have not even made a short-term profit. We have been burning money the whole time."
Listening to everyone's chatter, Yang Xueyu stood in front of the window, holding a cigarette, in silence.
The group buying market has been heating up since the beginning of the year, with Shanghai as the first stop. From Kang Jingtao to Robin and then to Yang Xueyu, the LaShou branch has undergone two changes of leadership, but has not been able to tap the consumption potential of the Shanghai market.
But within just one month after the group buying started, this market has already become very popular. The difference is really huge.
However, the development concepts of Lashou.com and Nuomi.com are both based on merchants. Their core policy has always been that if we can grasp most of the merchants in the city, we will be invincible.
So even though the order volume on New Year's Day was low, Yang Xueyu was rewarded by the headquarters because he did not lose any business areas.
The headquarters said that this is called "keeping the green mountains there will never be a shortage of firewood." After financing, the number of cities and the number of merchants will be the key to success, and the number of consumers is not the first factor.
But Yang Xueyu, who was on the front line, questioned the optimism of the headquarters despite its wealth and power.
During its dormant stage, Pintuan has been carefully selecting merchants and has signed many popular stores as its base. This New Year's Day promotion has brought about a major reshuffle in the quality of merchants on the three group-buying websites.
Although Lashou.com still has the largest number of merchants in Shanghai, the service quality of these merchants is far behind that of group buying.
To put it simply, after the in-depth cooperation agreement, the user ratings of the group-buying food list, and the New Year's Day holiday promotions, group-buying now has control over all the popular merchants in Shanghai.
They have good service, high quality and strong appeal.
Compared in terms of quantity, Pintuan’s contract volume is indeed the least among the three companies, but in terms of the number of orders, Lashou and Nuomi combined cannot beat Pintuan.
Consumers can attract popular merchants to sign agreements, and popular merchants signing agreements can attract more consumers. This is a virtuous circle.
Especially the group buying and strict selection thing is really very subtle.
At the beginning, Yang Xueyu and Robin didn’t know why Pintuan suddenly launched its own strict selection.
Because this thing requires warehouses, channels, and a lot of work, it is of no direct help to the current group buying business.
But it was not until word spread among consumers that the group-purchased products were all fake and that only genuine products could be bought on group buying that they realized that group buying was a trap.
Because when group buying becomes the only image representing authentic products in this industry, it is the only one that is truly invincible.
That is something that even spending money cannot shake, because there are bound to be some people who will pursue high quality even if it means spending a little more money.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Liu, we're leaving first."
On Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, Liangzi, who was in charge of the group buying stall, stood up and waved to Lashou and Nuomi, who were standing opposite him.
"Are we going to have dinner now? It's a bit early. Why don't we wait a little longer and go together!"
Xiao Liu from Lashou.com was peeling roasted chestnuts while urging him to wait.
Liangzi shook his head: "We are on holiday. Mr. Tan said that it is almost time and we don't need so many people to watch over us. He asked us to go back and be with our wives and children as soon as possible."
"?"
Xiao Liu was slightly stunned, only to find that three of the five stalls that he had joined the group purchase had already started to be dismantled, and even one of the tour buses had been removed.
Wow, there are three days off for New Year's Day, but you only work one day, is there any law in this? "Your manager even knows that you have a wife and children? Fuck, our manager doesn't even know my full name."
Liangzi said as he packed his bag: "I created a file once before and filled in my family information."
"Is Old Xu leaving too?"
"If he doesn't leave, he won't have a wife or children, so he might as well earn double the salary."
Xiao Li from Nuomi.com just came over to borrow some water. He was so shocked after hearing this that the water he just poured spilled all over the floor. "How much? Double the salary, was it the same yesterday?"
"Not yesterday."
"Oh oh." Xiao Li and Xiao Liu suddenly felt a little more balanced.
Liangzi then added: "Yesterday it was three times."
"????"
Li from Nuomi.com suddenly recalled the night of New Year's Day. That day, the group buying promotion was like crazy. He grabbed the customers and explained to them, and could go on for three hours without drinking water.
At that time, Xiao Li called Lao Xu to go to the toilet, but Lao Xu refused to go. They also discussed it privately, saying that the group buying boss was really good at brainwashing, and these people really treated themselves as tools.
Fuck, it turns out it wasn’t brainwashing, it was just fucking mediocre triple salary! ?
Your boss is so humane, won't other bosses exclude him and stop being friends with him? Won't some bigwigs say he is destroying the balance of the industry?
"You guys... group promotion, can anyone apply? Are there any educational requirements?"
"No, but our assessment system is quite strict. Some people who just want to eat and wait for death won't last long after they come here."
Xiao Li from Nuomi.com suddenly recalled an old friend: "I remember there was an old Wu in your team. He beat me up in the university town. Was he fired for just eating and waiting to die?"
Liangzi was stunned for a moment: "No, he signed a lot of orders, upgraded to the golden ground promotion, and now he has been transferred to another market."
"Do you have promotion channels for group buying promotion?"
"Yes, there are Stubborn Bronze, Order Silver, Glory Gold, Noble Platinum, Eternal Diamond, Supreme Star, and Strongest King. Even the colors of their work badges are different. I'm going to be Glory Gold soon, so my salary will increase by more than a hundred yuan."
"I'm..."
In fact, for low-level workers, salary and benefits are a very important part, and promotion channels are also a very important part.
Some people have worked at the bottom level for countless years, and whether they can get a salary increase depends entirely on the mood of their boss. To put it bluntly, they will give you a salary increase if their boss is in a good mood, and a small salary increase if he is in a bad mood.
But when the thought of giving you a raise comes up, even if your boss’s wife is giving birth to a child, he will immediately feel bad.
So why do we require a reasonable promotion channel? It is to have a clause that guarantees that you can get what you deserve as long as you work hard, rather than relying entirely on the mood of the people above you.
Besides, her name is nice.
Stubbornness bronze, order silver, glory gold... who the hell came up with this.
Damn, I really want to surrender to the enemy. I feel that working with a group is really like building a career, not just waiting to die.
At the same time, Dong Wenhao and his group, who had been out for the whole day, drove to Shanti Villa in the evening.
They even bought gifts and came to celebrate the boss's new house.
"How much money did the boss make that he bought a villa in Shanghai? I'm so jealous."
"How much money do you think he has? Group buying has been burning money since it entered the national market, and the boss is almost broke."
"Ah? Then how can he still buy a villa?"
"It is said that the boss's aunt paid for this villa."
"Fuck, the boss is so good-looking that he can be a gigolo? And he's kept by the boss's wife. I'm even more jealous!"
Lu Feiyu looked like he had eaten a lemon, grinning, thinking that the end of working hard in business is to be kept by a rich woman, how absurd.
At this moment, Jiang Qin walked out from the living room: "Why are you so late? It's been two hours. Are you lost?"
Dong Wenhao handed over a set of Zwilling kitchenware: "We were going to come back a long time ago, but we all decided to choose a gift for you and the boss lady, so we went around again."
Lu Feiyu coughed and said, "Congratulations, boss, for being kept."
"What do you mean by sponsorship? This is just real estate!"
Jiang Qin spat at him and turned to look at Tan Qing: "Have the salaries and bonuses of the field sales department been paid?"
Tan Qing nodded: "I have confirmed with Sister Xu Yu that all the money will be distributed before 5 pm today."
"Well done, come in and make dumplings. You didn't have them on New Year's Day, so today is New Year's Day. Also, while you're making dumplings, I'll give you a brief meeting."
Wei Lanlan, Sunai and others hadn't heard of such a sudden meeting for a long time, and it still sounded so shocking at first.
Looking at Jiang Qin again, he was already smiling like a people's entrepreneur.
Group buying has achieved a phased victory in Shanghai, which has completely opened the door to the national market, and the rest of the things also need preparation.
For example, financing, the upgrade of the business closed loop 3.0, and the streamlining of the scale and improvement of quality in second- and third-tier markets all require long-term planning.
Jiang Qin has been staying in Shanghai for some time. Apart from commanding operations, he has spent the rest of his time preparing plans.
"Lanlan, when you go back, please arrange a meal for me with the Eight Heavenly Kings. Also, please arrange an appointment with the boss of the strategic partner to have a meeting at the Pintuan headquarters next Wednesday to discuss the upgrade of cooperation."
"Sunai, please finish the work at hand as soon as possible, and then cooperate with Lu Feiyu to make Jinye Toutiao independent, cancel the registration threshold, conduct a trial operation on the PC side, and do some work to attract traffic to other websites."
"Wenhao will continue to be responsible for the daily operation of Zhihu, and the online school beauty contest can be held for a few more sessions."
"Tan Qing is in charge of the Shanghai branch. He is responsible for training Xu Kaixuan. In the future, Sun Zhi will take over the Shenzhen market, so I need to transfer him there."
"And Jinrui."
Wen Jinrui was startled when he heard the voice, and immediately straightened his chest and raised his head.
She was Jiang Qin's full-time secretary, but she had never been responsible for anything important. This was the first time she was named in such a full-executive meeting. She suspected that she was going to be entrusted with an important task, which made her inexplicably excited.
Jiang Qin looked up at her and said, "Don't put too much salt in the dumpling filling. Who are you trying to choke to death?"
