Chapter 99: Surrender
After a poisonous chicken soup, not only Wu Wei, Lu Guoxin, and Li Zhiming, the three young people under Lu Guoxin's subordinates, were excited and couldn't be suppressed, but the other two Wang Chengyong and Ning Yan, who were laid off from state-owned enterprises, and Luo Huali, the secretary, were also in a surging mood.
Li Zheng looked sideways at Tang He, who had a calm face, and was amazed in his heart.
The document that Tang He read out just now was actually discussed with him in advance. Therefore, Li Zheng was not dissatisfied or novel with the content of the document, but Tang He's incitement in the end surprised him very much.
In Li Zheng's memory, the last person who talked to Tang He so eloquently was when he attended the meeting of Bingzhou Daily Group a month ago, and the CEO of the group company gave an unscripted speech at the meeting.
Such a person is born with a leadership temperament!
Li Zheng sighed.
Don't look at Tang He's youth, but he obviously has profound and unique insights into life and success, and his speech is not lacking in insight!
Stimulated by Tang He's words, several people in the conference room expressed their determination to Tang He.
Tang He smiled and listened to it for a long time, and encouraged it for a long time before letting everyone leave first.
Only Li Zheng, Wu Wei and Lu Guoxin were left in the conference room.
To be honest, Tang He is more optimistic about Lu Guoxin.
This is not only due to the friendship between the two in their past and present lives, but also because Lu Guoxin is really talented.
Don't look at Wang Chengyong and Ning Yan, who are new to Lu Guoxin, one is a salesman who was laid off from the Hanoi Fertilizer Factory, and the other is a sales consultant who was laid off from the Mayi Machinery Manufacturing Factory.
But before the start of school, Tang He had run the market with these two people a few times, and he had already found that the thinking of these two people had already been fixed, and they did things in a proper manner, without a little innovation and their own ideas.
On the other hand, Lu Guoxin can draw inferences from one another, and often leads the force according to the situation, and achieves unexpected results unexpectedly.
The only thing that Lu Guoxin lacks now is experience and a view of the overall situation.
Therefore, Tang He deliberately left Lu Guoxin, on the one hand, to appease him, after all, Lu Guoxin is now doing the work of a marketing director, and on the other hand, he wants Lu Guoxin to listen to the company's next operation to see if he can learn from it.
"Guoxin, you didn't make you the director of operations, you won't blame me, right?" When the door of the conference room was closed, Tang He asked Lu Guoxin with a smile.
"Old Don...... Ah no, Mr. Tang, don't bury me, how can I have such ability to be qualified for the position of director of operations!" Lu Guoxin glanced at Li Zheng and said with some embarrassment.
"So you have to learn to sum up your experience, don't be afraid of hard work, just roll up your sleeves and do it! I believe that the position of operation director will be yours sooner or later!" Tang He stared at Lu Guoxin and replied seriously.
"Mr. Tang......" Lu Guoxin was a little surprised and moved.
Tang He can say such things in front of Li Zheng, the second-in-command of the current company, obviously full of confidence in himself and has high expectations.
At this time, Li Zheng interjected on the side: "Xiao Lu, don't live up to Mr. Tang's expectations of you, come on!"
"I will!" Lu Guoxin nodded heavily.
At this moment, Lu Guoxin had an impulse to die as a confidant. This is not easy for a young man who has been playing in society since childhood.
"Okay, let's get back to business, and then let's meet the next work arrangement of Youpin Bookstore. Tang He waved his hand and said to the few people present.
In order to allow Lu Guoxin to understand the future development plan of Youpin Bookstore from a higher level, and by the way, he also explained his plan for Youpin Bookstore before discussing the next work plan.
He first asked Li Zhengdao: "Mr. Li, I have talked to you about some future ideas of the excellent bookstore one after another, but I have never fully elaborated on it, while everyone is here now, why don't I tell you about it?"
"Well, I've been wondering what you've said to me, and I'm listening. Li Zheng was stunned for a moment and replied happily.
Tang He nodded.
The reason why he wants to confess to Li Zheng is because, on the one hand, Li Zheng, as the company's current second-in-command, must keep pace with himself, and everyone forms a clenched fist and swings it out to have strength; on the other hand, it is because the employment contract signed by Li Zheng has a non-compete clause and a confidentiality agreement.
"Mr. Li, I remember when we first met, you said that the sunset industry in the book rental industry?"
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"Actually, you're right, the book rental industry is indeed a sunset industry. β
"Uh......"
Li Zheng didn't expect Tang He to say this, and was stunned.
Tang He smiled slightly and explained.
"Mr. Li, you should know what kind of books are provided by Youpin Bookstore to various franchise stores now. Martial arts novels, romance novels, science fiction novels...... In the final analysis, these kinds of books provide customers with a means of entertainment to pass the time.
With the development of China's economy, there will be more and more entertainment methods for the public, such as television, movies, and the Internet...... It is foreseeable that in the future, more and more customers will stop renting books from bookstores because they have more and better entertainment to spend their time.
One of the most critical reasons is the Internet!
According to our previous survey, the most popular set of books among the franchisees is "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
At present, this set of books has not been written, the author is still serializing, and the publishing house is publishing a single book every month.
Mr. Li, there is one thing you may not know, that is, the book "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" can be read for free on the Internet. After the publication of the single book of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", some netizens will use the scanning method to upload the book to the Internet for readers who like the book to watch for free.
It takes several days for us to buy goods every month, and plus the time it takes to distribute them to franchise stores, there are no more than ten days, and customers can't see new books at all. And with the Internet, they can see it in the first place. What does the time difference mean, I think you know it well. β
Listening to Tang He's words, Li Zheng couldn't help but gasp.
If there is really the situation that Tang He said, it is obvious that many people will go online in order to see the book for the first time, and then this part of the customer flow will be lost.
Tang He gave Li Zheng a buffer time, and then continued:
"Nowadays, the cost of surfing the Internet is very high, more than 10 yuan an hour. However, with the development of technology, network tariffs will inevitably continue to fall. We now rent 5 dimes a day for a book, and in a few years, 5 dimes will not be able to get on the Internet for many hours. By that time, there will definitely be more and more people who like to read books on the Internet.
And with the development of network technology, there are bound to be more and more e-books on the Internet, not to mention the excellent bookstore, even the physical bookstore that sells books will go out of business because of this!
That's why when we met for the first time, I said that in the future, Youpin Bookstore will learn from RB's 7-Eleven convenience store, and in addition to renting books, it will do more value-added services......"
Tang He's mouth was dry, so he paused slightly, and by the way, he also observed the movements of several people present.
Li Zheng leaned back in the chair, clasped his hands, thoughtful.
Lu Guoxin's eyes widened, obviously stunned by his words.
As for Wu Wei......
Holy, this guy is asleep!
It seems that this guy is really not interested in the book industry!
Tang He shook his head helplessly and continued to elaborate his thoughts.
"But there's one thing we have to admitβ
That is, no matter how developed the Internet is, there are still people who like to read physical books. Therefore, in the future, we must firmly grasp the reading preferences of these people!
Now the company does not need to worry about what will happen in a few years, our focus now is to take advantage of the good market situation, to build the excellent bookstore brand, actively expand the chain stores, as soon as possible to unify the country. When this step is achieved, or close to this step, Youpin Bookstore will develop upstream and downstream and expand the industrial chain.
When Youpin Bookstore has formed a one-stop system of publishing, printing, distribution, leasing and sales, when will Youpin Bookstore really sit back and relax.
At that time, Youpin Bookstore Culture Communication Co., Ltd. should be renamed Youpin Bookstore Culture Communication Group.
By the way, the excellent bookstore I envisioned will be a group company with Internet genes. In the future, I will set up my own literary website and look for copyright and text ...... on the Internet."
By the time Tang He finished expounding his thoughts, Li Zheng was completely shocked by his ambition, and an incredibly sluggish look appeared on his face.
At this moment, Li Zheng was impressed by Tang He.
Regardless of whether Tang He's ideas can be realized in the future, just because Tang He dares to think and dare to move towards his dreams in a down-to-earth manner, it is worth following Li Zheng.
And Lu Guoxin's face was flushed, and he was so excited that he even breathed rapidly.
That's amazing!
It's an exciting idea to think about!
