Chapter 31: Cheng Yan

Compared with other industries, the proportion of women in the textile fabric and garment industry is much higher. The previous VISION was even more so, most of them were women, even if Lin Xiao didn't shop much online, he also had a lot of understanding of various online shopping platforms.

Pinduoduo is one of them.

At that time, some people in the company liked to buy fruits and flowers online on it, and they would also pull people around them to buy them together in order to fight the order. The price is so preferential that even Lin Xiao, who usually doesn't pay special attention to the specific price, is very impressed by this.

Later, for a long time, the people in their company bought fruits and flowers, almost all of which relied on Pinduoduo to buy in groups.

Huang Lu glanced at Lin Xiao, and it was rare that he didn't ridicule her, but continued to explain very seriously: "Life circles are different, and the content that is pushed and the places you pay attention to and understand are naturally very different. In fact, this software, like Taobao Jingdong, is a shopping software, and naturally includes the most basic clothing categories. ”

"The vast majority of people who use online shopping software must have tried it with the idea that things here are cheaper at first. Therefore, regardless of the specific quality and use, the page of 9.9 free shipping has always been the most attractive. ”

"It's probably similar to the daily group buying in Taobao?" Lin Xiao saw this page on his phone, but he just turned it off at the time.

"Listen to what Lin Fang kid mentioned. Huang Lu knew it casually, and he could only think about it so quickly, only recently heard about it.

In addition to some super promotions such as the middle and end of the year, the store usually reports some small activities in order to attract traffic. The requirements for activities with low thresholds and large traffic are also very strict, and the first is the requirement for price.

Lin Fang scratched his ears and complained to the screen more than once: "What kind of broken activity and broken operation, anyway, 9.9 free shipping is invincible in the world!"

For this reason, Lin Xiao was also very curious and seriously asked Lin Fang at that time, whether there would be a loss in the end for such a thing as 9.9 free shipping.

"It's a loss," Lin Fang sighed, and said with a little bit of gritted teeth: "But the loss has to be done, it's better than spending money to burn the through train." ”

Price, in most cases, is the point that attracts the most attention and care.

"This software has an advantage by price. Huang Lu said unhurriedly.

Consumption positioning and crowd-oriented, different from the current shopping software, mainly do group buying and spelling, relying on ultra-low prices to attract people, that is, to fight a price war.

"Consumption is sinking?" Lin Xiao blurted out, and after speaking, he was a little hesitant: "That's how you describe it." ”

"Something like that. Huang Lu nodded and followed her words: "After all, the population base is here, and there are more ordinary ordinary people. ”

You may be new to the Internet, you may not trust online shopping, and then the advantages of spelling orders are reflected. Anyway, together with acquaintances, you can "open the door to a new world" for very little money, why not?

As a result, Pinduoduo relied on this model and spread wildly.

Lin Xiao sighed: "It turns out that unconsciously, the world around me is undergoing such great changes. ”

I can't tell if it's shock or loss, Lin Xiao is at a loss for no reason.

She has always felt that she is not self-enclosed without paying attention to external news, or even on the contrary, she regularly watches the news and hot searches every day, and pays attention to big and small things at home and abroad.

But now these things that come out of Huang Lu's mouth seem to be far away from her. In other words, she knows or hears most of the things, but after connecting them, it makes people feel like they are in a different world.

More seriously, it seems to have been abandoned by another part of the world.

"Does it feel particularly subtle, even unreal?" Xu Yuanhang's voice came from the door of the live broadcast room, breaking the current silence.

Lin Xiao and Huang Lu followed the sound and looked over, only to find that they didn't know when, Xu Yuanhang and the others had already returned, standing at the door in a daze and looking at them.

"What does this feel unreal?" Huang Lu frowned.

"Probably, how to say it," Xu Yuanhang thought about it seriously, and his tone was soothing and peaceful: "It's like something happened in another world." ”

Huang Lu: ............

"Hey, I'm getting goosebumps!" Qin Yueyue shouted, rushed in three steps and two steps, and collapsed on the sofa.

Lin Xiao glanced at everyone's expressions, and was a little embarrassed.

"Which one of you is sick in the brain told you?" Huang Lu couldn't help but ask, in his opinion, those who will talk about these things are basically related to the industry in the circle, but the people related to the industry are paying attention, how can there be such strange speeches.

Xu Yuanhang's expression suddenly became subtle, lowered his gaze, and after finding a place to sit down next to him, he said softly: "Qi Ji and I sighed before. ”

The crowd was silent.

Qi Ji, isn't that Xu Yuanhang's girlfriend, or ex-girlfriend?

Xu Yuanhang himself may not know, but the people around him have seen his lost soul during this time, otherwise they would not have seized the opportunity to call him over, or a group of people surrounded him mightily.

"She's not a model in your store?" Huang Lu still couldn't help asking, since he was a model, how could he still feel that these strangers were like another world.

"She's not very interested in that. Xu Yuanhang shrugged his shoulders, and obvious loss flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Qin Yueyue hurriedly changed the topic: "Brother Lu, you continue to talk about Cheng Yan, we still want to continue listening!" After speaking, he pushed him twice with his hand.

"It's almost time to ship," Chen Su didn't walk in, stood by the door and smiled and said, "Then I'll go and deliver it first." ”

"Eh, no. Qin Yueyue immediately jumped up, wanted to pull Chen Su, and said, "Sister Chen, let's listen together, it's hard for Brother Lu to talk about these things, and if you miss it, you won't have a chance!"

"Ah...... This ......" Chen Su was still a little hesitant and awkward.

Although she has been here for more than a year, in her previous decades of work experience, she has not worked hard to sit down and listen to the boss's gossip. Even if Lin Xiao, Qin Yueyue and others were there, she was still awkward.

She always felt that she was different from the people in this room.

"It's okay, things can't be done, it's not bad for a while. Huang Lu raised his hand and looked at the time, and said, "And how can we all sit and chat, you are busy with it." ”

These words are not at all like what a "boss" would say.

Lin Xiao subconsciously glanced at Huang Lu twice, but he didn't expect to just bump into the other party's sight, Huang Lu raised his eyebrows.

Lin Xiao: ??

Chen Su was finally successfully convinced, and was pulled to a chair by Qin Yueyue and Lin Fang and sat down.

There was a soft sound on WeChat, and Lin Xiao clicked on it and found that it was a message sent by Huang Lu.

Huang Lu: Don't always complain about the boss in your heart.

Lin Xiao: ......

This man is really naΓ―ve.

All of a sudden, so many people sat here listening to the gossip, Huang Lu didn't show any nervousness on his face, but took a sip of tea slowly, and almost raised his hand to pat the shocking wood.

"Where did I go?"

Lin Xiao was speechless: "Why did Cheng Yan come here." ”

Huang Lu pondered for a moment, and quickly picked up the topic: "So, Cheng Yan's stupid comparison, although he is not usually a person, but in terms of doing business, he really has nothing to say. ”

On the one hand, Taobao, which is in the limelight, is in a good situation, and on the other hand, it is an emerging platform that is full of copycats and bargains at low prices regardless of quality. Rather than doing serious business, this place is more like a small fight, a well-developed shop, which usually does not like it, and even joins forces to boycott it.

But Cheng Yan noticed this platform.

"Sister Chen," Huang Lu suddenly stopped Chen Su and said, "Tell me now, what are you most curious about?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Su.

Chen Su's face suddenly turned red, and he was a little nervous even when he spoke: "This ...... What's so curious, you say. ”

Huang Lu laughed: "Chatting, there must always be a sense of participation, otherwise I will be bored talking alone." "It seems that Chen Su really has to say something.

The live broadcast room suddenly fell silent, and just when Huang Lu thought that the other party would definitely not answer, and was about to say something to perfunctory this topic, Chen Su spoke.

"That'...... He, why do you want to ......" Chen Su rarely expressed his opinion in front of so many people, and it was quite difficult to say word by word: "How could it be, come and do this." Isn't it possible to sell other things? Now I can only do it for half a year. After saying that, he quickly lowered his head and let out a long sigh of relief.

Although it was scattered, everyone still understood what she meant instantly.

Cheng Yan has the experience of basic capital, to make this seasonal woolen sweater, it seems a bit "wasteful".

"Lin Xiao come and talk about it?" Huang Lu raised his eyes to look at Lin Xiao, with a joke in his eyes, and said, "Let's listen to what people from the other world think." ”

Deliberately, it must be deliberate!

However, this thought was only for a moment, and then it was overwhelmed by the sentence "she is not interested" that Xu Yuanhang said just now.

Qi Ji and Xu Yuanhang have been together for many years, and they have been models for a few years, but they are still "not interested" and do not understand this industry. Huang Lu obviously wanted to know whether she Lin Xiao was interested or not.

A person who is not interested will not be able to take the initiative to analyze and take the initiative to understand.

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, then took over the conversation and said, "Probably because it's unique?"

Ordinary clothing, to put it bluntly, the price of T-shirts and shirts has long been lowered because of the stalls in various places, and online shopping does not reflect the absolute advantage, so Cheng Yan chose a woolen sweater.

"Well," Huang Lu nodded with satisfaction and said, "The prices and styles in Guangzhou are popular, and they are not as good as Honghe, who specializes in sweaters, for the time being." ”

So, Cheng Yan came here with the team.

When he said this, Huang Lu's tone did not have any very tendentious malice, and it was obvious that he also admired such a Cheng Yan.

At least in this matter, Cheng Yan's sensitivity and courage to e-commerce are very unattainable.

Soon, the preliminary operation and foreshadowing on Pinduoduo were almost ready.

Sure enough, by October, Chengyan's new store showed almost linear sales growth.

At this time, the people brought from Guangzhou seemed to be a little insufficient. At that time, Cheng Yan was busy looking for factories, managing operations and temporary team affairs, so he began to recruit assistants.

Qin Yueyue pursed his lips and said, "This stupid comparison, at that time, he also asked me to introduce him to him, and asked me if there was any little sister I could introduce over." ”

"The woolen sweater has a seasonal limit, and from the side where they only came in the second half of the year," Lin Xiao thought for a while and speculated: "Cheng Yan and they have not developed other ideas in a short period of time at least, so it is not easy to recruit people, after all, the work can only be done for half a year, and there is no development prospect in sight." ”

"Well," Huang Lu nodded, his tone was flat and he couldn't hear any ups and downs, and said, "So most of the people who apply are college students who have not graduated and are looking for internship opportunities, or they are just graduates and want to find a job. ”

Lin Xiao suddenly understood, and gradually had a vague answer in his heart.

Cheng Yan was really recruiting assistants at the beginning, but he was far away from his wife with the team, and the huge success overwhelmed him, of course, the point is that this person's own sense of moral responsibility is very weak.

It didn't take long for him to hang out with his assistant.

Ironically, after falling in love with the boss, the assistant gradually stopped taking his work to heart.

But that time was the busiest time for e-commerce.

The assistant didn't go to work, but in the end he was raised, so soon, Cheng Yan recruited a second assistant.

Lin Xiao didn't know what to say at all, she subconsciously looked upstairs, her eyes were full of disgust.

"By the way, how do you know so clearly?" Lin Xiao suddenly asked.

"Before, I was very hospitable. Huang Lu replied.

"Hospitality?"

Huang Lu glanced at Lin Fan, touched the tip of his nose and didn't speak, and everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Lin Fang.

"Hehe, Brother Lu and Cheng Yan used to have a good relationship, and they always brought me with them when they ate. Lin Fang grabbed two handfuls of small curly hairs that were too short to be true, and said, "When I wanted to recruit a second assistant, Cheng Yan told these things during the banquet, and there were also the owners of the factory and the upstairs house. ”

Huang Lu leaned back on the sofa and covered his eyes with his arms.

"Everyone else is giggling and joking, complimenting Cheng Yan or something, only Brother Lu ......"

"What did he do?" Lin Xiao glanced at him, feeling that the scene was bound to be "exciting" as well.

He squirted everyone on their heads, and those people didn't react, and they were just stunned on the spot. ”

β€œ......”

Then he smashed the wine glass that was still filled with wine on Cheng Yan and said two words. ”

Qin Yueyue immediately took it loudly: "Silly comparison!"

Lin Xiao and the others even had been a little depressed since just now, and Xu Yuanhang couldn't help but have fun together.

The second assistant was naturally "carefully selected" by Cheng Yan, and soon, the second assistant was also with Cheng Yan.

"Not long after, the two assistants were fighting upstairs. ”
