Chapter 1104 Single-digit profits
What does nine pieces of seven mean?
For ordinary people, it is the price of a bowl of noodles, and they may not even be able to afford the starting price of a taxi in a big city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
may feel that this number is really a little embarrassing, and Chen Ou himself on the other end of the phone couldn't help laughing.
"It is indeed a net profit of nine yuan, after deducting a series of expenses such as procurement costs, staff salaries, and taxes. ”
Lu Heng smiled and quietly listened to Chen Ou's explanation.
He didn't change color when he heard this profit, like those investors who were eager for quick success, but his heart relaxed.
For him, nine yuan seven is not just a simple low number, but also means that the path Chen Ou is taking now is indeed feasible.
In the first month of transformation, I got rid of the previous loss, which is already a great breakthrough.
You must know that Lu Heng invested one million in Chen Ou at the beginning, but he lost 700,000 yuan in three months, and now he has just transformed and got rid of the loss.
This is also the reason why Chen Ou and Lu Heng can laugh.
I earn less now, just because I have just entered this industry, and everything is still being explored.
Lu Heng smiled, "Yes, go on, with the proficiency of the business and the expansion of the scale, I believe that Jumei will definitely be able to make more money!"
On the other side, Chen Ou also breathed a long sigh of relief, and said in a slightly relaxed tone:
"yes, I really didn't expect to make money in the first month, I thought that as long as I didn't lose too much, it would be within my acceptable range. After all, in order to open up the situation, the company now buys out the agent's cosmetics, stores them in the warehouse, and sells them in the form of limited-time group buying, and the price is 4% lower than that of the store, and there is no profit at all. ”
Regarding the current development model of Jumei, Lu Heng did not interfere, so he didn't know the specific situation.
At this time, listening to Chen Ou talk, he couldn't help but nodded.
"It's good, although the initial profit is not high, and it may even be beyond its means. But to do Internet e-commerce, word of mouth is the most important. The reputation of good quality and low price has been made, and no matter what project is planned in the future, consumers will pay. ”
"Well, I think so too, not only to do cosmetics group buying at a low price, but also to make genuine products as much as possible, which is easier to do word-of-mouth. Moreover, female consumers are the easiest and fastest to cultivate word-of-mouth. ”
Lu Heng smiled: "Then I'll wait and see, I hope that the next time you call me, it will no longer be a single-digit profit." ”
Hearing Lu Heng ridicule like this, Chen Ou over there couldn't help but blush.
Whoever reports profits to investors will not make single-digit profits.
Originally, the management of Jumei Youpin didn't plan to tell Lu Heng that he made a profit last month, after all, it was too little, and it was a shame to say it, but Chen Ou still decided to tell Lu Heng.
He thinks that the company's initial profit may not be important to Lu Heng, after all, this man has a very long-term vision, and the initial profit is small, so he shouldn't care.
I took the initiative to tell him, and I also had the intention of inviting merit.
You invest in me, I go from losing money to not losing money, and even making a few dollars, then the next thing is to make more money, you didn't look at the wrong person!
Chen Ou was stunned for a moment, and said with a little hesitation: "If I take the initiative to call next time, it may not be about how much money I made, but about asking you for more money." ”
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly, and couldn't help laughing.
"Then I'm looking forward to when you ask me for money!"
What does it mean for Chen Ou to take the initiative to ask for money?
Quite simply, the company has expanded and needs more funds to expand its business, and it means that Jumei has embarked on the road of making a lot of money.
"By the way, what are you going to do next?"
Lu Heng asked cautiously while looking forward to it.
He didn't want this young returnee to get carried away in the face of small success, and then make a mistake.
After all, the Chinese market is very different from the overseas market that Chen Ou was familiar with before.
"I'm thinking about one thing now, that is, I am considering completely stopping the game business that is still being taken care of, Lu Dong, do you have any opinions?"
Hearing Chen Ou's words, Lu Heng thought about it for a while.
Chen Ou's team was in the game business from the beginning, but the continuous losses forced Chen Ou to transform.
But the people on that team are still there, and even after screening out a large number of people, the rest of the people are still wavering.
That's why Chen Ou's team is now running both the game business and the cosmetics group buying business, and they are also looking forward to the game business coming out of the way.
One of the representative figures is Chen Ou's younger brother Dai Yusen.
Lu Heng said softly: "You shouldn't ask me about this matter, you should talk to your junior brother." He is an indispensable top talent in the company, and the reason why he agreed to your transformation at the beginning was because he retained the bottom limit of the game business. If you still want him to go with you, then you have to discuss with him whether to completely shut down the game business. ”
Chen Ou's expression froze, and he realized his problem.
Now the whole team is streamlined, and any talent is an important cornerstone, especially Dai Yusen, whose importance is second only to himself.
If you don't discuss it with him, you will close the game business, which is likely to lead to his departure.
When I thought about it like this, my mind suddenly became clear.
"Okay, I understand, but thank you for the tip. ”
Lu Heng smiled slightly, didn't say anything more on this topic, and after chatting about some topics related to Jumei, he took the initiative to hang up the phone.
Chen Ou put away his mobile phone, loosened his tie, and his eyes flashed.
Then he turned around and went into the next office, where the familiar Dai Yusen was dealing with things on the computer.
Seeing Chen Ou coming in, he was puzzled for a moment, and then looked at Chen Ou's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and smiled bitterly.
"Yusen, you?"
"What do you mean, I can probably guess, that you want to shut down the game business?"
Chen Ou was surprised, "How did you guess?"
Dai Yusen wiped his face, "I guessed this day from the transformation of Jumei, but when I made money last month, I knew that this day would come relatively quickly." ”
"Then what do you say?" Chen Ou looked at his junior brother worriedly.
Dai Yusen grinned bitterly, and asked him to take the initiative to say that he would shut down the game business, which was really like a knife.
However, now that the overall focus of the team has shifted, it is futile to continue to persevere.
With a sigh, Dai Yusen stood up and came to Chen Ou.
"Let's have a meeting and let the brothers talk together, at least for our first entrepreneurial project, it is also a respect. ”
Chen Ou's face was overjoyed, he slapped Dai Yusen hard, and turned around to go to a meeting.
It's just that when he just walked to the door, Dai Yusen asked suddenly.
"Did Lu Heng ask you to do this?"
Chen Ou looked at him puzzled, and then immediately shook his head: "No, no, this matter is my idea." On the contrary, Lu Dong also asked me to ask for your opinion. ”
"That's right!"
Dai Yusen looked lonely, he still underestimated the man's temperament.
Chen Ou glanced at him in confusion, didn't ask more, turned around and went out happily.
