Wang Ye transferred the shares of Meigou last time, and finally got a huge amount of 18.6 billion. went to Modu to buy a car and buy a house and squandered more than 300 million, and then took out 1 billion yuan and transferred it to Weiye Entertainment Company's account, and now there are more than 17.2 billion left, and the fraction is ignored.

After taking care of the entertainment company's side of things, he began to work on the board of directors of Meigou.com, and it was time to move on to the next step.

At the end of June, in the large conference room of the No. 2 office building of Mingguang Science and Technology Park, representatives of several shareholders of Meigou gathered together.

Wang Ye, the major shareholder and chairman of the board, presided over the meeting, and at this meeting, Wang Ye found that Li Youlun's demeanor was very haggard, which was much worse than the spring breeze on his face last time, so he asked him with concern: "Mr. Li, have you been in good health recently?"

"Oh? no. Li Youlun replied in amazement.

"Then why do you look so haggard, it can't be that you are playing too much, you have to pay attention to your body, haha......" Wang Ye joked.

Listening to Wang Ye's words, Li Youlun grinned and wanted to laugh, but he really couldn't laugh.

Sequoia Capital's Zhou Da, IDG's Jack, Nie Dingwen, and Fang Haohua all arrived, and the board of directors officially began.

Wang Ye first informed everyone of the recent relevant data of Meigou.com, and the development momentum is very good. After listening to his briefing, several shareholders applauded, and of course they were happy to see their assets growing.

"At this stage of growth, we have to start the next step of planning, and we must prepare in advance for future development. That is to build its own transit warehouse and logistics system, as well as a cloud computing center!" Wang Ye threw out a plan that had been prepared for a long time.

Li Youlun chuckled in his heart, he won't have to pay again.

Zhou Da asked with interest: "I can understand the transit warehouse, it can improve the delivery speed, but is it necessary to build this logistics by itself, it will cost a lot of money, and the efficiency of SF Express is still very high, so it is not enough to continue to cooperate." ”

Wang Ye said confidently: "Let's talk about the problem of transit warehouses first, I plan to set up six transit warehouses in East China, Central China, North China, Southwest, Northeast China, and Northwest China! ”

The six major transit warehouses are not a trivial matter, and several shareholders are attentively listening to Wang Ye's explanation.

Nie Dingwen asked: "Now the scale of the website, there is no need for so many transit warehouses." ”

"Yes, not now, but Nie always knows that it takes time to establish a transit warehouse. Websites are also evolving at a rapid pace, and it's too late to build them when you need them. Moreover, the transit warehouse is a fixed asset, and it can appreciate after early investment. ”

Wang Ye said in a relaxed tone, he had enough confidence to say such a thing, and no one could refute it, because the performance of Meigou was there.

Everyone nodded silently in agreement.

"As for logistics, now the major e-commerce companies may not have noticed the importance of logistics! In fact, no matter how much the importance of logistics is emphasized! This is the lifeblood of e-commerce!" Wang Ye's tone became excited.

"E-commerce buys goods, but not only the product itself, I think the more important thing is the service, is the experience! In the future, online shopping will become more and more popular, the competition between e-commerce will become more and more fierce, and the homogenization of goods is very serious. At that time, why does Meigou stand out and outperform its competitors, I think, is to provide better services than competitors and bring users a better shopping experience. ”

"This should be started from two aspects, on the one hand, the improvement of website technology, so that the website page is more beautiful and generous, and the shopping process is simpler and more convenient. And the more important side is logistics and distribution!"

"Please imagine that the same goods, the same price, if you buy it on a certain treasure, it will take three days to deliver it to you. If you buy it online in the United States, it only takes one day to get it, and even in many first- and second-tier cities, you can get it in the afternoon if you place an order in the morning. In this case, you will choose where to buy!"

Wang Ye's series of words came out, and several people present were convinced, Zhou Da took the lead in applauding, and praised repeatedly: "I now know why Wang Dong can achieve such great success, others take one step to see three steps, Wang Dong takes one step to see ten steps, or even a hundred steps!"

Nie Dingwen also nodded and said: "Indeed, before Wang Dong said this, I thought that logistics was not so important, but now I understand that this is the lifeline of e-commerce platform competition in the future." Logistics must be done, and it must be done well!"

Only Li Youlun doesn't want to engage in logistics, because doing this means paying money! According to Wang Ye's plan, the money on Meigou's current books is obviously not enough. Then each shareholder will have to contribute capital proportionally, and if you don't make a capital contribution, you will have to be diluted again......

He racked his brains, thought of an excuse, and hurriedly said: "Our current cooperative logistics, that SF Express is also very fast, and many places can also be delivered on the same day!"

Wang Ye glanced at him and explained with a smile: "This is what I want to say next, why give up the partners who are working well now, and invest heavily in building your own logistics system." ”

"First of all, the partners are not their own company after all, they are also picking up the goods themselves, and even serving our competitors. So may I ask Mr. Li, if there are too many express delivery and the express company can't deliver it, whose express do you think they will give priority to?"

This question is complicated, Li Youlun thought about it for a while, and then said: "Whoever gives more money will help him send it first, right?"

"That's right! Whoever pays more will be the first to deliver! There is a cost problem here. In this shopping festival, we have generated more than 10 million orders, which is more than 10 million express delivery. Because it is the negotiated price, the cost is not too high, but on average, an express delivery is nearly 8 yuan! That is to say, this shopping festival alone, we bear the express delivery cost of up to 100 million!"

Several shareholder representatives were taken aback when they heard this number, and the express delivery fee that everyone didn't pay much attention to in the past was so high!

Meigao.com implements free express delivery fees when the order amount reaches 98, and cosmetics are more than this number if you buy or buy them. Therefore, basically all the express delivery costs are borne by Meigo.com.

This is also something that other e-commerce platforms can't do now, after all, they don't have as much profit margin as Meigo.com, which is also one of the factors that Meigo.com can rise rapidly.

Seven transit warehouses, that is, to support seven logistics fleets, buy a car or a small amount of money, more importantly, to support people, the number of couriers needed is very large, salary costs are a huge expense.

After listening to Wang Ye's explanation, I also felt that it should be done, and everyone had no objections.

Now is the third plan proposed by Wang Ye, the cloud computing center, for this term, only Zhou Da who was present has a little understanding, and no one else has heard of it.

Zhou Da asked cautiously: "This cloud computing center, as far as I know, in the world, there are not many people who do this. The future of cloud computing centers is also a matter of opinion, including those of us in the investment banking community, who are not sure how this thing will develop. Wang Dong put it forward today, I don't know what kind of views he has. ”

"Let me first give you a list of which companies are engaged in this cloud computing. Wang Ye smiled, and then began to enumerate.

"Google, IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, and the mainland are a certain treasure. Have you found a problem, these cloud computing enterprises have one thing in common? ”

The common denominator??, a few people in the room, began to think.

"It's all about the Internet? No, IBM is not an Internet company. Zhou Da said hesitantly.

Google is the global search engine leader, IBM is the leader in providing server system solutions, Microsoft is the leader in computer application software, and Amazon and Moubao are the e-commerce leaders in Europe, the United States and the mainland respectively!"

"Since it's all giants who do this, then what else do we do on Meigo.com, we can't compete with them. Li Youlun expressed his doubts again.

"First of all, we really need to be an e-commerce platform, and the biggest investment in hardware is server clusters. Moreover, if we hadn't prepared in advance for this shopping festival and temporarily rented a number of computer rooms, we would not have been able to cope with so many user visits, and the website could crash at any time! With the increase of website users, we need more server clusters, and it is better to rent than to buy. ”

"And we have built this cloud computing center, which can be used by website users during peak visits, and can also be rented out at ordinary times, so there will be no waste. ”

"Finally, there's one more point. This cloud computing is the most fashionable word in the Internet industry at the moment, and the industry giants are doing this. Although we are not yet a giant, we must also have the heart to become a giant, otherwise, how will we tell stories to investors when we go public in the future......

Speaking of this, Wang Ye glanced at everyone meaningfully.

Zhou Da and Jack immediately understood what Wang Ye meant, and laughed understandingly. How can Internet companies still go public despite losing money every year, and even have a valuation that exceeds that of many century-old enterprises in traditional industries. It depends on the imagination space, and it depends on the story!

If there is no cloud computing center when Meigou is listed, the valuation can reach 20 billion US dollars. So once there is this cloud computing center, it is not impossible to raise the valuation by 1 billion US dollars.

As for the investment, the scale can be a little smaller, and the investment can be divided into several phases, which is not too much money. Such a profitable business, a fool will not do it!

Li Youlun also reacted, and he also had to admire Wang Ye's "cunning old treacherous". And Nie Dingwen, although he doesn't understand technology, he knows that the few people present are all real elites in the investment banking industry, and they all agreed, so this matter must be fine.
