Chapter 149 Business Consolidation
Ye Haolong carefully looked at the financial statements of the fresh buy business in the past six months, and the reason why this business is not profitable is because it adopts a large-scale model, where the platform purchases from fruit suppliers in a unified manner, and then sells it by itself.

In this way, although the consistency of the quality of the fruit is ensured, it also brings a lot of problems. For example, the establishment of expensive fruit warehouses and self-built fruit express channels have increased a lot of operating costs.
So even if the profit margin of selling fruit is high, it still can't afford such a huge amount of overhead.
Now that this business is in the hands of Ye Haolong, adjusting it is the top priority. The first step was to close the fruit warehouse and build a more flexible fruit distribution system.
According to the financial statements, the average annual maintenance cost of a single fruit warehouse is about 500,000 yuan, and there are a total of 12 such warehouses in an eye-popping city! This Lemai is really willing to spend money.
In addition, coupled with the labor cost of warehouse management, this huge expense cannot be maintained without 10 million a year, and it is a miracle that this freshly bought business does not lose money.
The current buyer group of Xinmai is mainly in the first-tier cities in China, and the transaction volume of the platform is 50 or 60 million a year.
In the final analysis, there is a problem with the business model of Lemai.com, and in the face of such a small business volume, it is completely unfeasible to take the asset-heavy route.
Of course, at the beginning, Lemai took the asset-heavy route, but it was a great weapon to attract large fruit suppliers, because of the unified procurement of the platform, these large fruit suppliers will actively cooperate with Lemai, and quickly promote this business in just one month.
At present, if the unified procurement is cut, it will undoubtedly increase the trouble for those fruit suppliers, and they will definitely not be happy. Therefore, Ye Haolong plans to give them appropriate subsidies at the beginning of the adjustment, even if they are subsidized by 5 million, compared to the annual operating expenses of more than 10 million, it is still saving.
On the other hand, they should also be encouraged to enter the broader B2B field, that is, to log their fruit resources on Shennong.com.
Shennong.com's customer base is large-scale buyers, in Shennong.com, an order is often a few tons or even dozens of tons, and the efficiency of the transaction is very high, which is perfect for those large-scale suppliers with abundant supply.
These days, Li Dajiang is busy with these things, but by now, the adjustment and integration of the freshly bought business has been almost done.
"Dajiang, has the integration of the freshly bought business achieved any results?" Ye Haolong saw Li Dajiang coming back and immediately asked.
"Of the 62 large suppliers on the list, more than 30 have been negotiated, and they have decided to log on to Shennong.com to start an online fruit wholesale business. There are more than 30 left, which are also currently under consideration. Li Dajiang looked excited, like a cat that had just caught a fat mouse, "In addition, after the fresh buying business stripped off the two pieces of unified procurement and self-operated distribution, they did have some dissatisfaction, but the subsidy plan we launched was basically approved by them." ”
"It seems that the progress is not bad, and the remaining 30 or so will continue to follow up and do their best to win them over." Ye Haolong said, "In addition, our office in Jiangzhou City should also take immediate action to fully promote Shennong.com, and strive to win Jiangzhou within a month." ”
As the largest metropolis in China, Jiangzhou City's economic status is even higher than that of Nanhang City, so taking Jiangzhou City is of great significance to occupy the entire East China region.
At the moment of being busy, Qi Meiting stepped on a pair of big stilts and walked in.
"Big villain, I didn't expect you to be the boss and still look good."
"Of course, it's much better than being a temporary worker with you." Ye Haolong looked at the princess's sick stilts and said, "Why do you have time to sit down?" ”
"I have a new idea for starting a business now, and I want to hear from you." Qi Meiting said, "You said that it is not feasible to engage in game hardware production? ”
"Gaming hardware? Slot machine? Ye Haolong raised his eyebrows.
"Don't mess around, be serious." Qi Meiting glanced at him, "I want to go to Japan first to investigate and see the current most advanced game industry model, big villain, are you interested in going together?" ”
Ye Haolong sighed: "Oh, I also want to go out for a walk, but now the company is at the most critical moment, and I can't get out of it at all, so I can't go." ”
"I know that you kid is the least powerful, so I'll go with Dongdong." Qi Meiting said.
"Why are you bothering Brother Dong again?" Ye Haolong heard that it was really a first two big, if this princess's illness dragged Lin Xiangdong to Japan, Fang Ruoman would not just be sour.
Okay, just let them go, the fate of the eldest cousin is still in his own hands, and Ye Haolong can't arrange a marriage.
What's more, since Qi Meiting intends to enter the game hardware industry, this is also a good opportunity for Ye Haolong. In the future, his virtual online shopping mall business may need to integrate more of today's most advanced game technology, so it would be good for her to go to Japan and learn a little experience.
As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passes, the weather is also exceptionally cool, and the choppers from all walks of life have recovered their vitality to buy, buy, buy, and buy, and for the e-commerce industry, it will also enter the busiest period in the second half of the year.
During this time, Ma Tianming's "Tianming Farm" business is getting better and better, with the maturity of a batch of fish fry, the sales volume of aquatic products in the online store began to rise, plus the fish he raised are simply the same as the owner, fat head and big ears, very likable, and the price is two or three percent higher than other fish.
So Ma Tianming made a lot of money, and in just one month, the profit of the online store exceeded 100,000!
With enough cash flow, it is not so difficult to repay the original bank debts, and seeing that Ma Xiaoling gradually climbed out of the pit dug before, this big treasure is not to mention how much it is so difficult.
Now he has summed up a rule: as long as he follows Ye Haolong, he will be able to make money. He is the little prince of scattered wealth, and Ye Haolong is the little boy who sends treasures.
He now admires Ye Haolong so much that he can't wait to kneel down and call his father.
It's just that the fish pond and vegetable greenhouse at home have been calculated, and now as the peak sales season, it can maintain a profit of 100,000 yuan per month, but in the off-season, I am afraid that the profit will be discounted.
Don't look at the production of agricultural products, although it is a primary industry with low technical content, but the cost of manpower and material resources is still quite high, after a year of hard work, the money earned is far from being compared with when setting up a factory, Ma Tianming began to think about whether he can embark on the road of large-scale operation.
