Are you lucky?

Yan Chao couldn't deny this.

An Internet tycoon surnamed Ma once used "opening the road in the mountains and building bridges in the water" to describe the hardships of entrepreneurship - at the beginning of e-commerce, China did not have applicable logistics, finance, and credit infrastructure;

What now?

The developed modern logistics system and the mature online financial payment system, which are highly compatible with the digital infrastructure of e-commerce, have laid the foundation for industrial upgrading and expanded the space for industrial innovation.

In contrast, Yipin is like a college entrance examination candidate who can "not ask about firewood, rice, oil and salt", the popularization of mobile communication networks and the Internet, logistics, distribution, payment, cloud computing and AI technology, small programs and WeChat social systems, and even friends and businessmen who have trained good talents...... Easy to fight for openness for needs, enjoy the ecological dividend.

This is the general environment, specific to the details, Jiagu at the beginning of the establishment of the key support in the selection of goods, fresh transportation, distribution and many other aspects of the key support, is the greatest luck.

The upward movement of agricultural products is a good business. Consumers can buy fresh fruits, or eggs, or radishes at a price at least 30% lower than the market price, and the origin is shipped to the home free of charge, so that people can't understand before buying, and it is very fragrant after buying.

Selling agricultural products offline, not to mention others, just talk about the rent, like the shops in first-tier cities, the rent of dozens of square meters will cost tens of thousands of yuan a month, and how many agricultural products can a store sell every month? I believe that most of them are within a thousand catties a day, calculate how much price each catty of agricultural products has to be added to be evenly spread.

Can it not be fragrant to convert these differences into discounts for consumers?

Coupled with the attributes of rigid demand, high frequency and large scale, Internet companies have been devoting themselves to the upward business of agricultural products one after another.

However, if selling clothes, bags, and electronic products with overcapacity and can be stored is a kindergarten topic, then selling fruits with a long shelf life is about a big problem in the high school entrance examination, and selling vegetables and pork that are scattered and cannot be stored for a long time is simply the finale of the Olympiad finals. Therefore, whether it is a front-end warehouse, a store-warehouse integration, or a pure trading platform, fresh e-commerce always ends up in the same way - losses.

Facts have proved that although compared with the traditional model, e-commerce has fewer wholesale centers of origin through self-built warehousing and logistics, but in addition to product loss, it also has to bear storage costs, logistics costs, personnel salaries, water and electricity expenses, coupons, and advertising costs......

The question is – when have you ever seen a vendor selling fresh food who has to go to the countryside to pick up the goods in person, and then advertise them all over the place, and also give coupons and delivery services?

The cost of making a business with small profits and quick turnover like this is only high, not low. If you don't lose, who loses?

Therefore, Yan Chao is very clear about the role of easy spelling, it is just a pilot supported by Jiagu.

Even e-commerce giants don't know what the correct way to sell vegetables online is, let alone a traditional industry company like Jiagu that has never been "involved in the Internet".

However, the upward trend of agricultural products seems to be the general trend.

In essence, he is not much different from the entrepreneurs supported by Jiagu who lead the villagers to build local agricultural brands in their hometowns.

To put it simply, Yipin finally collapsed and sank into the sand, Jiagu has losses, but there will be no injuries - for Jiagu, the support for Yipin is to "by the way" use the existing outlets and logistics facilities resources, oh, but also invested a small amount of money.

For Yi Pin, Jiagu left it, at most it hurt, but when it left Jiagu, it was the impact of life and death. Fortunately, Jiagu is the largest institutional shareholder of Yipin, and after all, it is hoped that Yipin can be done.

But Yan Chao is a little forced in his heart, even if he is a parent, he will not endlessly support his children - if there is, it is not called support, it is called doting.

Moreover, don't underestimate the Internet giants with good money ability, they just haven't reacted yet, and when they all join the battlefield, it will be another money-burning war.

- From food delivery to taxis, all the sources of supply are exactly the same, and no one company has a particular advantage in price, so the competition eventually turns into a "subsidy war".

Therefore, in addition to investing in the construction of small warehouses near the urban community, in order to make up for the logistics system of Jiagu only building large warehouses around the city, and further establishing distribution "barriers", the main energy left is to establish its own unique supply source.

Although, it is still indispensable to need the help of Jiagu.

"The project team that studied black wolfberry was actually a control group for blueberries, after all, both are species with very high natural anthocyanin content. Qi Zheng coughed lightly and explained: "By chance, researchers will find excellent wild black wolfberry seeds from Qinghai, and after planting, they will be grafted with tomatoes, and then pollinated by red wolfberry pollen for sexual hybridization, and successfully cultivate a new black wolfberry variety that grows upright, thornless and slightly sweet." However, there has not been much improvement in production. ”

Yan Chao was looking forward to it, and his eyes were waiting for the next step without blinking.

"After the improvement, the new varieties have become larger and thicker, which is conducive to mechanized harvesting and processing. Moreover, the survival rate and fruiting rate of artificial cultivation can be guaranteed......"

Before the words fell, Yan Chao's expression had turned to excitement.

"Great, it's more than I expected. Stable survival rate and fruiting rate mean that large-scale promotion can be carried out in a relatively short period of time and resources can be expanded. Yan Chao smiled.

Qi Zheng had nothing to do, nodded and said, "It's good if you're satisfied." ”

This degree of improvement, in the assessment of Jiagu itself, will not be a large-scale investment.

Not every one of the results of the Jiagu Lab can be promoted. The results of a project like black wolfberry have been improved, but there is no qualitative improvement, not that it is completely worthless, but it is obviously not cost-effective.

There are many such projects, after all, the laboratory "burns" so much money every year, and it is not all revolutionary products such as "Jiadou 13" and Super Energy Tree.

Of course, in most cases, this kind of work is not wasted. Like Jiagu entrepreneurs, a large part of them is to transform these parts of Jiagu that are unwilling to invest, but have a certain value of the results, and Jiagu is also happy to see it.

Yan Chao didn't pick either. Although black wolfberry is not as strategic as a grain crop in Jiagu's eyes, nor can it generate excess returns like a "super crop", it is of great significance for a remote place in the Gobi desert to no longer have to fall into the vicious circle of stealing and digging black wolfberry.

If you want a project to have a project, you want technology to have technology, what else do you need a bicycle?

Yan Chao sincerely felt that although it was said that the hardships he had suffered would become future wealth, and Yi Pin's current smooth sailing made him a little unsteady, but this feeling of opening up "talent and strong luck" was really a bit cool.
