Zhou Mengyi was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "So much, isn't this too radical?"

Knorr supermarket is different from the general supermarket, the general supermarket may have a thousand square meters to open a store, but Knorr is a super large supermarket, often a store of 10,000 square meters.

This kind of store, ten stores can basically cover the entire magic capital.

Because this kind of super-large supermarket cannot be opened very intensively, it will affect its own business, especially the membership system adopted by Knorr Supermarket.

Just look at Costco in the United States, for so many years, the number of stores is far from being comparable to Wal-Mart, it has taken the route of fewer stores and more sophisticated.

Yu Wenfei shook his head lightly and patiently explained to her: "We don't have much time to develop slowly, and the best time to expand is these two years, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to deal with it when the major retail companies react in the future, see the market trend, and start to exert force." Our only advantage is that when they are still hesitating, we will act decisively and occupy the market first!"

Yu Wenfei is right, this year, the domestic retail industry is still in the process of exploration, and many companies are still waiting to see the development of Carrefour and Wal-Mart.

Many retail CEOs do not hesitate to go to Wal-Mart and Carrefour to do "undercover" in person, just to learn "the world's leading retail experience".

It is still in the learning stage, of course, it will not make a big effort, and Carrefour is running around in the market, and Wal-Mart has not really begun to exert force, and is still familiar with the national conditions, entrenched in the south and slowly accumulating strength.

And Carrefour's expansion everywhere also caused him a lot of trouble, so that the top level directly issued documents against it to limit its expansion speed.

Isn't the Super Brand Mall store just picking up Carrefour's leaks?

Therefore, Yu Wenfei believes that the past two years are the best time for the development of Knorr, and if you miss this point in time, it will be a situation where the wolves are looking around.

Zhou Mengyi naturally doesn't see the development of these industry trends so clearly, but she believes in Yu Wenfei, because past events have proved that what Yu Wenfei said and did was right, and there was no exception!

............

Before the end of December, the qualification of "national high-tech enterprise" that Star Technology had applied for for a long time was finally approved, and a golden bronze plate was also issued.

With this brand, Star Technology will not have to pay taxes for a few years, in fact, the company has invested a lot of money now, but not a penny of income has been made.

If you really pay taxes, you don't have to pay much money.

But how much to pay is a matter of one thing, and whether to pay or not is another thing, not to mention, this qualification is also a symbol of corporate identity.

With the name of this national high-tech enterprise, whether it is a school, a district or a city, some policy support can be justified.

In terms of business-to-business, it is still necessary to pay attention to a name.

President Lin of Jiaotong University also "summoned" Yu Wenfei again, and of course, President Li was also there.

"Yes, yes, yes! The young man is just energetic, I didn't expect you to start such a big company in less than half a year after you came to the school. ”

The thin Principal Lin patted Yu Wenfei's shoulder on tiptoe and said with a relieved face.

"Well, I didn't even think of it. When he first said that he wanted to start a business, I thought it would be a small fight, and it would take at least two or three years to see results. The result was so unexpected, the number of users on the website exceeded 10 million on the day it was launched, and now it is more than 20 million, which is definitely a large website. Xiao Fei did a good job!" Principal Li also praised it.

In front of the two principals, Yu Wenfei also had a good attitude, and he said modestly: "It's just a fluke, and I also benefit from the support given by the school." From the office space to the technical support, it has helped me a lot. ”

Principal Li nodded in satisfaction.

Young people have made such great achievements, they are not arrogant or impatient, they know how to be grateful, and the future is promising!

Principal Lin also smiled and asked Yu Wenfei to sit beside him, patted his arm affectionately and said: "As a principal, I still don't care enough about students, and I can't help it. Time is wasted on all those complicated things. ”

President Li hurriedly said: "President, you are also a job, Jiaotong University is a famous school, whether it is in the education or academic circles, you have great influence, many times, as long as you come forward, it is to enhance the influence of Jiaotong University! ”

You are a student of Jiaotong University, then the school is your solid backing, when there are any difficulties, you must not solve them, do not hold on, you must know how to call resources, and allocate resources reasonably, so as to do great things. Principal Lin said with concern again.

"It's not difficult for the time being, everything is going well with the company. Yu Wenfei replied.

"What about the funds? The amount of money needed to build such a large website must be astronomical, and now the company is still your sole proprietorship?" asked Principal Lin.

Yu Wenfei nodded, "It's my personal investment, I don't need much money in the early stage, the company doesn't spend too much on promotion, the money is mainly used for hardware facilities and recruiting employees." I guess it will last for half a year, and then I will need to raise funds, and I will have to ask the two principals to help me introduce this aspect. ”

According to Yu Wenfei's estimates, in about half a year, his first investment of 500 million yuan will be almost burned.

Facebook's money burning is different from Yitang.com, and Facebook's hardware configuration is definitely the top in China.

Now a computer room is tens of millions of dollars, and in the future, computer rooms will be opened in other cities, which will cost a huge amount of money.

In addition, the remuneration of the company's employees, which is also a huge expense.

Because Star Technology is mostly technical employees, the salaries of such employees are not low, often exceeding 10,000 yuan.

Now Star Technology has more than 800 employees, and is still recruiting, and it is expected to reach 1,500 people after the year.

A month's salary may be twenty or thirty million!

So, 500 million seems like a lot, but it can't stand such a spending.

And Yuwenfei, it is impossible to have a second half of 500 million cash to invest in the short term.

Half a year later, it was the time for Star Technology to let go and let VC enter the market!

This first round of investment is very important, Yu Wenfei wants to not only get as much money as possible, but also to dilute the shares as little as possible.

That's what every company founder thinks......
