Chapter 582: I'm a Mortal
Being alone in Yanjing, especially when facing major challenges, feels very lonely. At this time, my parents were busy with their own careers, and they also started to fly, often running around the country. At this time, both of them went out, and Zhou Shi couldn't find anyone to talk to. He faintly regretted that he had let his parents start a business, and after equipping them with a team, the two of them transformed from farmers to businessmen, and their hard work was certain, and they didn't know if they could maintain good health like in their previous lives. This is also to blame Li Ying, who actually invested in their Han Shang clothing, if they didn't have any money, maybe they would develop slowly. Now, design, production, and sales are all in charge, but fortunately, I know how to learn from Zhou Shi's successful experience, know how to delegate power, and have Li Ying's people to help keep an eye on finance, and now the development is impressive. It's just that there is no longer the record of sales ratio when Taobao was first established.
Forget about his parents' affairs, the problem of living once again stumped him, villas, courtyards often no one lived, and he was not at ease to live for a few nights temporarily. It's not a good thing to think that you have your own house everywhere, and most of them can't live in it anyway. After staying in the hotel for a few days, Zhou Shi wanted to change his feelings. asked if Liu Feifei was not in Yanjing, so I wondered if I should call Master Liu over. Before he started to act, he saw Li Ying in Time Company.
"You're back, it's going well!" Zhou Shi
"Hmm!" Li Ying
"Why don't you call me when you come back. "Zhou Shi
"Who knows if you're with some other woman. "Li Ying
"You think too much...... Zhou Shi still wanted to quibble, but he didn't know how to speak
"Are you really with a bewitching slut?"
"We've been in the hotel for the past few days, I don't believe you're asking Chen Wen. "Zhou Shi
"Hmph, forget it, trust you once. "Li Ying
"What are you doing here?" Zhou Shi
"I'm here to find Mr. Lei, and it has nothing to do with you. "Li Ying
"Look for him, what I can't solve. "Zhou Shi is upset
"Simon, you two are here together!" Lei Jun also appeared at this time
"yes, I don't have anything to do, you talk first. Zhou Shi gave up his position and played with his mobile phone, but listened to their conversation in his ears. Only then did I know that it was about Vancl Eslite.
Vancl is the focus of this year's Chinese Internet market, or one of the miracles. Qiu Xingyu, former creative director of Ogilvy and partner of Yuanshan Advertising, single-handedly created Vancl, which was widely circulated on the Internet and greatly enhanced the brand awareness of Vancl.
The spread of Vancl has greatly increased the sales of Vancl, last year's sales were 500 million, and this year has not ended to more than 1 billion. Advertising expenses have also increased significantly from 200 million last year to more than 400 million soft girl coins this year. Such a high-speed development will inevitably bring a shortage of funds, the first half of the financing has just been completed, and now there is a shortage of money.
Listening to it, Zhou Shi felt that something was wrong, and Vancl's operation model seemed to be no different from his parents' Han Shang clothing.
"Does Chen Nian have time, why don't we go and talk to him together!" Zhou Shi suddenly interjected, Lei Jun and Qinglong Venture Capital Fund are both investors of Vancl.
"I don't have any problem!" Although Li Ying was surprised, Zhou Shi's enthusiasm was not decisive
"I don't think Chen Nian can ask for it, he will find time if he doesn't have time!"
"I'm just curious, I don't have any ideas?" Zhou Shi said this, no one knew what he thought in his heart. He didn't know much about the rise and fall of Vancl, he had bought it once or twice in his previous life, and then he didn't feel good and gave up. Either go to a physical store or buy it casually on Taobao.
Lei Jun contacted Chen Nian, and sure enough, he quickly made an appointment.
At this time, Chen Nian was undoubtedly in high spirits, and his good performance growth brought him honor and great self-confidence.
"Our goal this year is to reach 1.5 billion in sales, and next year's goal is 4 billion, and at the same time to establish our own logistics company, only self-operated logistics can ensure service levels. Chen Nian talked eloquently
When Zhou Shi heard it, he felt very good, Goudong relied on self-operated logistics to succeed, and Vanke might be fine. And the goal he set is not too high, 500 million last year, and 1.5 billion this year is about to be reached. And the annual increase in sales has tripled, and it is not uncommon for Goudong to do it for three consecutive years.
"We plan to expand the Vancl sales category next, involving department stores and 3C electronic goods...... Chen Nian continued
"Can I understand it like this, are you going to set up an e-commerce platform instead of a clothing brand?" Zhou Shi asked Chen Nian after listening for a long time
"Yes, my goal is to set up an e-commerce platform, only in this way can I become bigger and stronger. Chen Nian didn't hesitate
"Are you a self-owned brand or a third party?"
"Autonomous? no...... I'll make adjustments based on actual developments. "Chen Nian
"In other words, you don't have a clear goal now, you just want to prove yourself and be an excellent company?"
"That's not the case, Vancl ......" Chen Nian
"An excellent company, its business model will inevitably not be very complicated, eBay and Taobao are pure platforms plus third-party logistics, Amazon and JD.com are self-operated and self-built logistics, Facebook and friends are social networks, Apple and Guoke are selling mobile phones, Google and Baidu are search engines, what is Vancl?" Zhou Shi's view became clearer and clearer
"We are an innovation in the TMT industry, a new business ......," Chen Nian said
"What is the most important profit model of your business format? Is it also that traffic is king, and profits come from it?" Zhou Shi
“......”
"I guess, it won't be that you want hundreds of categories of goods at the same time, millions of goods, right? So how to control the quality and quality, how many people are there and how many people are needed?" Zhou Shi
“......”
"Actually, I like Muji and Uniqlo, and if I learn from one of these two brands and use Internet thinking to transform it, maybe it will have a good effect. I think it would be a good pursuit for most ordinary people in China to buy high-quality goods at low prices. We don't have to go for the best, but just enough. "Zhou Shi
"Muji may be good, but Vancl Eslite may not be good......" Chen Nian
"Also, everyone can create their own miracles, I'm a little narrow-minded, good luck. Zhou Shi also does not argue that although he owns a large number of shares in the world's two largest e-commerce companies, he has never been deeply involved in them, and even Amazon China has not been involved. It is also known that the essence of e-commerce is a retail enterprise, and it is also one of the best carriers of finance, but it is a pity that Wal-Mart has been rejected many times when it wants to set up its own bank, otherwise there may be a unique and competitive bank, well, of course, the risk will also be great.
Zhou Shi naturally wouldn't convince Chen Nian to change his mind the first time they met, even if he didn't have any ideas now. Mortals are still like that, singing and dancing, and horses running.
