245. Wait for the day

Global Center.

The big boss came to inspect, and Xiao Lanshu was nervous.

As the number of companies increases, it is impossible for Chen to maintain the same focus on each company, and the focus depends on the value of those companies.

For companies with high valuations, similar to Xiaolanshu, Chen Dongcheng will take a lot of effort.

Like Shangdong Technology, Chen Dongcheng has not paid attention to it for a long time.

As a tool to cover the flow of water in the early stage, Shangdong Technology performed very well.

If there was no Shangdong technology to support him in the early stage, Chen Dongcheng would definitely be restless, and he really thought that the bank's monitoring was a joke.

Even now, Chen Dongcheng didn't dare to play too big.

Otherwise, the 20 million steps distributed by the game will be directly withdrawn to 1 billion.

Before each withdrawal, it's a good idea to think of plenty of cover.

From this point of view, the structure of an overseas offshore company is simply not too perfect.

This is also the reason why more and more Internet companies are playing with the VIE architecture.

Xie Jingyu walked in front, and when Chen Dongcheng walked into the company, all employees greeted him.

Zeng Yiming took a few supervisors and also lined up to welcome the big boss to inspect.

Inside the conference room.

The management of Xiaolanshu sat together, and Qu Ting, as the COO of Xiaolanshu, was responsible for explaining the form of today's cross-border e-commerce market to the big boss.

"Since the split of the e-commerce company, we still retain the diversion entrance to Blue Whale overseas shopping.

It not only makes the business closed-loop continue to be stable, but also reduces the operating costs of Xiaolanshu. ”

Qu Ting switched PPT and compared the operating costs before and after the split, the biggest piece was the subsidy to the e-commerce division.

"This year has been called the first year of China's cross-border e-commerce by many media, and there are already strong competitors such as Tmall Global, JD Worldwide, and Yang Terminal that have entered the cross-border e-commerce track. ”

Qu Ting was a little glad and said: "Fortunately, we split the e-commerce platform in advance, otherwise the huge loss will definitely affect the valuation of Xiaolanshu." ”

Zeng Yiming added with a smile: "In addition to the increase in competitors, our own development has not been left behind.

As a brother company, Cao Cao Logistics has taken the lead in reaching cooperation with Sinotrans.

As far as I know, the price paid is not small, and in addition, the bonded warehouse project in Ningbo has been negotiated very smoothly.

The local government of Ningbo offered very favorable conditions to attract Cao Cao Logistics to settle down. ”

Cao Cao's decision to settle down in Ningbo Logistics is definitely not something that Zhou Shaohua can do alone.

Chen Dongcheng also felt that it was unrealistic for Cao Cao Logistics to develop in the magic capital.

It is difficult for the government to pay too much attention to a capital-heavy logistics company with a valuation of less than one billion.

Second-tier cities like Ningbo are likely to have a greater thirst for logistics companies.

Attracting investment is the most important achievement of each city government team.

In particular, the capital-heavy investment model like Cao Cao Logistics is even more popular with cities of their level.

In the era of big logistics, there are fewer and fewer companies that are willing to burn money.

Except for JD.com, which is still insisting, the other companies are almost finished.

Without the strong support of capital, few companies can persist in relying on their own blood transfusion to develop logistics.

Feelings are not suitable for logistics.

However, if you want to develop a good cross-border logistics platform, it is inevitable to build a bonded warehouse, which is the core advantage of opening up the gap with your opponents.

Qu Ting switched to the next page of PPT: "The next thing we should do is to attract users, which I think Chen Dong did very well with Keep before." ”

“keep?”

Qu Ting explained with a smile: "Chen Dong used the lottery to make the number of Keep users skyrocket.

I think we can learn from this approach, and it will definitely become a hot spot. ”

Chen Dongcheng suddenly said that Qu Ting was talking about the Weibo lottery.

"Since there is a lottery, don't be petty, and draw 100 lucky users from the users of Xiaolanshu.

The event lasted for a week, and I think Little Blue Book should be able to add a large number of registered users. ”

"What about the budget for the event?"

"All users who are drawn will be rewarded with 10,000 cash. ”

Qu Ting looked at the previous keep's lottery plan and was not surprised: "Okay, I'll contact the Weibo operation team." ”

Now the number of registered users of Xiaolanshu has just exceeded 10 million.

This is still relying on the diversion of keep, plus the recommendation of the Apple App Store.

In addition to the Apple side, the Android side has also been developed and launched in major app stores.

At the end of the meeting, Zeng Yiming introduced the recently joined CTO to Chen Dongcheng.

"Chen Dong, this is Zhang Ye, graduated from Princeton University with a doctorate in computer science, and has worked at Microsoft and IBM. ”

Character: Zhang Ye.

Skills: Algorithm expert (56%), English expert (4%)

Evaluation: The coveted CTO candidate for a startup, with deep attainments in the field of algorithms.

Chen Dongcheng warmly shook hands with Zhang Ye: "The company is your home, and you can talk to Mr. Zeng at any time if you have any questions." ”

Talents who are proficient in algorithms are popular wherever they go.

Options should be given to options, in short, they can't be let go.

Zhang Ye was flattered, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Dong Chen for your concern." ”

"Well, then you guys are busy first, I'll go next door and have a look. ”

Chen Dongcheng patted Zhang Ye on the shoulder with satisfaction, and Zeng Yiming sent Chen Dongcheng out.

Chen Dongcheng suddenly stopped and asked, "Is this Zhang Ye married?"

"Not yet, but don't worry, I have rented a high-end apartment for Zhang Ye near the company, and I have also equipped him with an Audi A6. ”

Chen Dongcheng nodded: "You have to be eclectic to talents, you are more concerned about Zhang Ye's marriage."

The company has female employees of marriageable age who can help with matchmaking.

In short, Zhang Ye must not let go. ”

Zeng Yiming was a little surprised, and nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to Zhang Ye's affairs." ”

"The company's daily affairs management has Qu Ting, and the technology has Zhang Ye, you just need to do a good job of recruiting. ”

Zeng Yiming said as he walked: "Recently, I have also been in contact with headhunters, and as we become more and more famous.

There have been quite a few people who have taken the initiative to send their resumes, and I have screened some of them.

It is intended to select some elites from among them and recruit them into the company. ”

Chen Dongcheng stopped at the door of Xiaolanshu and pointed to Cao Cao Suda next door.

"When the Magic City Center can officially move in, they will move out. ”

Zeng Yiming shook his head with a smile: "After a few rounds of company development, this floor of office buildings is not enough, maybe we still have to be neighbors." ”

Chen Dongcheng went to Cao Cao Suda to sit for a while and chatted with Lu Guangyu about the expansion of Cao Cao Suda.

Cao Cao Suda's current number of delivery staff is close to 400,000.

This is still only relying on word-of-mouth fermentation, and many idle people in society have taken the initiative to join.

At present, the second-tier cities in the country have all been opened, and Cao Cao's funds have bottomed out again.

After Lu Guangyu finished making tea for Chen Dongcheng, he said with a wry smile: "Chairman Chen, the current handling of local push personnel is a difficult problem, should we continue to raise them, or let them resign on their own initiative?"

In the early stage of promotion, Cao Cao's marketing staff made great contributions.

But capital is inherently ruthless.

Of the 20,000 ground push team in the history of the magnesium group, the last one is not all outsourced.

You don't have to tell you to dismiss directly, as long as your bonus is reduced.

For months on end, everyone understood what was going on.

Cao Cao's ground push team also fell into an embarrassing situation.

If Chen Dongcheng does not plan to continue to invest in the development of third- and fourth-tier cities.

Even if Lu Guangyu is reluctant, he has to make the decision to lay off a large part of the local push personnel.

"When the market in the first and second-tier cities is stable, then continue to develop in the third- and fourth-tier cities. ”

Lu Guangyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Since you intend to expand the third and fourth-tier cities, I will let the iron army of the marketing department set off on the same day, and I will personally take charge." ”

"The focus is on the merchants, remember when I mentioned that plan to you?"

Lu Guangyu's eyes were a little hot: "Chairman Chen said that we will launch the takeaway platform at the right time." ”

"Now expanding Cao Cao's cooperative merchants is preparing for the launch of the takeaway platform. ”

Chen Dongcheng said with a smile: "Unlike first- and second-tier cities, consumers in third- and fourth-tier cities are more price-sensitive.

You can work with some supermarkets to help them deliver.

Engage in some activities such as zero-yuan crazy robbery, sink to third- and fourth-tier cities, and explore the possibility of making profits. ”

Lu Guangyu nodded: "I also considered this aspect before, except for the merchants we cooperate with.

Eleme has helped us a lot, and basically the merchants that Eleme cooperates with in first- and second-tier cities are all under our control. ”

The core resource of Eleme must be the merchants that the platform cooperates with.

Who made Chen Dongcheng disguised harmless to humans and animals, and took the initiative to hand over the voting rights to Zhang Xuhao.

In addition, Cao Cao Suda is only responsible for distribution, so Zhang Xuhao didn't care too much.

Once Cao Cao Suda completes the layout of third- and fourth-tier cities, he will take all the businesses that Eleme cooperates with into his own hands.

If you want to rebel against these merchants, it's not too simple.

As long as they are willing to subsidize and burn money, these merchants will just change their faces and continue to take orders on another platform.

"This matter can only be known to you and Mr. Zhou, let the three of them fight to the death first. ”

Chen Dongcheng just remitted the last $40 million to their account a few days ago.

It not only reassured Zhang Xuhao's heart, but also paved the way for Cao Cao Suda to continue to cooperate with Hungry.

The two platforms are now hello and I am good, cooperating with each other, so that the magnesium mass next door is under great pressure.

The magnesium group has taken too big a step, and it is true that the magnesium group has received more funds than hungry.

But it can't stand the concentration of firepower, regardless of distribution, only responsible for subsidies.

The distribution of first- and second-tier cities is responsible for Cao Cao Suda.

In third- and fourth-tier cities, relying on the merchants to deliver by themselves, they are very happy to fight with magnesium groups.

In 2014, for all Internet companies.

The most lively is definitely Didi, Kuaidi and Uber, as well as the money-burning war between Magnesium Tuan and Hungry.

This year, you don't need money to take a taxi, you don't need to pay for ordering takeout, and the Chinese people really live a long time.

Lu Guangyu drank tea and asked curiously: "Chairman Chen, who are you more optimistic about?"

"Me?"

Chen Dongcheng did not hesitate: "I am optimistic about Wang Xing, because he is ruthless and cunning enough." ”

"Wang Xing?"

Lu Guangyu nodded: "I have met Wang Xing a few times, and it is indeed in line with your evaluation, and I also feel that it is difficult for Gan Jiawei to die well in the magnesium group." ”

"Sooner or later, Gan Jiawei will be hollowed out, and Wang Xing only trusts his old classmates and relatives. ”

Lu Guangyu suddenly proposed: "If Gan Jiawei is overhead in the magnesium group, how about we dig up Gan Jiawei?"

Chen Dongcheng was stunned and asked, "Why do you have this idea?"

"Gan Jiawei has rich experience in business management, and the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow.

With the diminishing importance of the local push team to the magnesium cluster, the days of Gan Jiawei's marginalization should not be too far away.

When the time comes, we will poach Gan Jiawei and let Wang Xing taste the countermeasures of his subordinates who have been driven away. ”

As long as Chen Dongcheng is not short of funds, he will never need to worry about losing control of the company.

Just like Wang Xing has been relying on financing and can firmly grasp the control of the magnesium group, why doesn't Chen Dongcheng dare to reuse Gan Jiawei?

Because Gan Jiawei has a background in Ahri, it is unwise to choose to give up this talent.

Chen Dongcheng asked Lu Guangyu with interest: "Aren't you afraid that Gan Jiawei will come and put your rights in the air?"

"No, Jiawei and I are sympathetic.

I was unlucky before, Jiawei didn't meet a good master, the cunning rabbit died, and the lackeys cooked. ”

Lu Guangyu smiled calmly: "And I am also confident." ”

Chen Dongcheng nodded: "When Cao Cao Logistics develops for a while, I plan to let Shaohua serve as the CEO of Cao Cao Logistics."

The position of CEO of Cao Cao Suda is left to you, and before the takeaway platform is launched, try to dig Gan Jiawei over. ”

Lu Guangyu was not surprised, from Chen Dongcheng's transfer before, Lu Guangyu noticed some flavors.

Zhou Shaohua is also very clear, so he has been busy negotiating with the Ningbo government about the bonded warehouse.

Cao Cao's logistics has developed well, and it is not necessarily worse than Cao Cao's speed, which specializes in instant distribution.

Chen Dongcheng is very interesting to think about, Cao Cao logistics, Cao Cao speed, Cao Cao takeaway.

I really have a relationship with Cao Cao.

"Knock knock. ”

Lu Guangyu looked at the door: "Come in." ”

Dai Yufei walked into the office with the document in her arms.

nodded to Chen Dongcheng and handed the document to Lu Guangyu.

"This is a document sent by Mr. Zhou, which needs to be reviewed by Mr. Lu personally. ”

Lu Guangyu took the document, looked at it for a while and asked: "Mr. Zhou plans to sign the bonded warehouse investment agreement in six cities at one time?"

"Yes, because the amount of investment involved is too large, Mr. Zhou heard that Chen Dong came to the company and wanted to ask Chen Dong's opinion. ”

After Dai Yufei finished reporting, she quietly waited for a reply, and quietly observed Chen Dongcheng by the way.

Lu Guangyu looked at Chen Dongcheng: "Dong Chen, what is your opinion?"

"Except for Ningbo, the bonded warehouse area in other cities should not be too large. ”

When Lu Guangyu heard Chen Dongcheng say this, he knew that Zhou Shaohua's application was approved: "You replied to Mr. Zhou according to the original words. ”

"Okay. ”

Dai Yufei simply turned around and walked out of the office.

Chen Dongcheng waited for Dai Yufei to leave and asked, "How is she?"

"Yu Feiken is hard-working, and he is also careful, so he is very much used by me. ”

Lu Guangyu gave Chen Dongcheng an example: "I heard Guo Yu talk about the small conflicts between Yufei and several female employees of the company.

Even if Yu Fei was promoted, she didn't trouble them.

This mind is worthy of my admiration. ”

Chen Dongcheng nodded, not paying too much attention to it.

"I will send another 100 million to Cao Cao's speedy account, you can develop third- and fourth-tier cities with peace of mind, prepare in advance, and wait for the time. ”

Lu Guangyu smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, I will definitely take down all the merchants that I am happy to cooperate with." ”

"You do things, I don't worry. ”
