On the Internet, there is a legend.

The boss of Penguin Technology is called Zhang Ning, who is not only handsome, but also very young.

It's just that no one has ever seen him.

Moreover, there are few photos of Zhang Ning on the Internet.

For many people, Zhang Ning is synonymous with genius and mystery.

Deng Yunyun has been wandering back and forth in the hospital, and he is not sure if the other party is really Zhang Ning.

She looked up Penguin's address on the Internet and found that Penguin's address was not the same as the address on her business card.

It's just that when the nurse informed me that if she didn't make up to 200,000 again, the mother would miss the best operation.

Deng Yunyun didn't think about it anymore, and according to the address on the business card, Deng Yunyun found Zhang Ning.

"I didn't expect you to come."

Seeing Deng Yunyun coming, Zhang Ning was a little surprised, "Haven't you checked, is there a problem with my business card?" ”

"It's a problem, but if it's compared to my mother's condition, even if you lie to me, I'll give it a try."

"Hehe, you're smart. Just as you would ask for help in the talent market, I think you not only want to prove that you are not a liar, but more importantly, you think that the manager or executive of the group in the Yenching talent market may be able to help you, right? ”

Deng Yunyun blushed a little and said softly, "I'm sorry, for the sake of my mother's illness, I can only do this." ”

"Don't be embarrassed, I don't blame you, if it were me, I would do the same. I'm probably not as smart as you are, though. Perhaps, if I had been stupid, I might not have been able to cure my mother's illness. It's not a big deal for you for your mother's condition. And, in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with that either. ”

Zhang Ning didn't have a trace of blame, and continued, "Don't worry, what I promised you will definitely do." I'll send someone to the hospital to get in touch with your mother, but you'll have to keep your promise and you'll have to work for our company. Oh, by the way, what kind of work did you do before?"

"Warehouse Management."

"Hey, warehouse management."

In the 2000s, warehouse management was not a popular profession.

On the contrary, when it comes to warehouses, others will probably laugh as if warehouse management is similar to the job of security guards.

But in fact, since Zhang Ning had the idea of doing e-commerce, he has attached great importance to the talents in warehouse management.

Why did Zhang Ning want to buy Alibaba, and why did Zhang Ning go to Wang Juntao.

If nothing else, it's not that their e-commerce platform does a good job, rather, they have experience in it.

This is something that Zhang Ning can't have.

"It's a good job, I have a question for you."

Subconsciously, Zhang Ning had a problem and took the exam to Deng Yunyun.

"When we are faced with thousands of items in the warehouse, how can we find the items we need in the fastest time."

This is a question that raises the question of e-commerce warehouse management.

In the face of the future of countless goods sales, how to quickly take out the goods stored in the warehouse is a very interesting knowledge. Efficient warehouse management can save valuable time for e-commerce websites. At the same time, it also shortens the delivery time, which ultimately shortens the waiting days for the user to receive the goods.

According to later rumors, it only takes 30 minutes at most from the place of order to the delivery of Dangdang.

Don't underestimate these 30 minutes, often these 30 minutes are the key to determining the quality of an e-commerce platform.

After asking, Zhang Ning suddenly patted his head.

Did you ask the wrong question? Deng Yunyun estimated that it was just ordinary warehouse management, and in their previous work, it was estimated that there were only one or two things in the warehouse, or, even if there were many, the time arrangement was not particularly strict. As long as you can find the product, you can do it. In fact, there are not many companies that have strict requirements for warehouse management like later generations.

When Zhang Ning was ready to say the final talk and wanted to arrange a clerical job for Deng Yunyun, Deng Yunyun quickly said, "Establishing an efficient and fast warehouse management system is the direction of warehouse management in the future." Especially with the development of e-commerce, an efficient and fast warehouse management system has determined an important factor in the development of e-commerce platforms. Although there is no complete warehouse management system in China at present, we can find experience from abroad. From Amazon's e-commerce platform, they added a code similar to a book barcode to their warehouse system. In addition, each code can only store the same product with the corresponding code, and it is not allowed to store ...... arbitrarily"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, "Go on?" ”

"In addition, for the staff, they can also participate in the system of the factory assembly line. From ordering, picking, packing, to shipping, every link can be arranged to be responsible for a staff member. If possible, you can also add an electronic scanning session before placing your order to save time faster. ”

"Great."

With a snort, Zhang Ning stood up, "That's a great point." ”

"Deng Yunyun, I didn't expect that you also know about e-commerce. By the way, what you said about auditing at Yan University, is it that you are listening to an e-commerce course? ”

"Yes."

Deng Yunyun nodded and said, "I have wanted to go to college since I was a child, just because my family is poor. Since coming to Yanjing, I have been reminding myself all the time. Even after coming out to work, you can try to learn some knowledge. Recently, I noticed that some of my colleagues, including some leaders, often go online shopping. At first, I thought it was an incredible thing. But slowly, when I learned about e-commerce, I immediately liked this industry, so I went to Yan University as an auditor. I hope that one day, I will be able to use the knowledge I heard next to Yanda to enter this industry. ”

"Okay, okay."

Zhang Ning couldn't help but nodded.

was even more interested in Deng Yunyun, and he continued to ask a lot of questions.

From warehouse management to e-commerce, from e-commerce to various modes of e-commerce.

b2b，b2c，c2c…… etc., a series.

"Deng Yunyun, B2B, B2C, C2C, these three models, there are domestic manufacturers entering. B2B is Alibaba, B2C is 8848, JD.com, Excellence, C2C is eBay, do you think, which of these three models will succeed in the future, and which one is more suitable for the present? ”

"This ......"

Deng Yunyun didn't seem to have thought about this problem, he thought about it seriously.

"I think B2C, it can guarantee the quality of the product. No, the price of B2C is difficult to control, and it is not good. B2B, it's just too much money......"

Deng Yunyun shook her head continuously, and in the end, she said in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I can't answer." ”

"Don't be sorry, you've answered well."

Zhang Ning was not dissatisfied, although this Deng Yunyun couldn't answer some questions, but, after a little chat just now, he already knew that Deng Yunyun was very talented in e-commerce. Often Zhang Ning gives him a small hint, and she can draw inferences from one another, if she is cultivated, she may not be able to achieve future achievements, she will be lower than Wang Juntao, or even Ma Yun.

What's more, in 2001, when China's e-commerce websites were just developing, how many people could answer Zhang Ning's question?

"Deng Yunyun, I now officially extend an invitation to you to join us penguins."

"Penguins?"

Deng Yunyun didn't react a little, and Zhang Ning pointed to the latest signboard hanging in the office, "Penguin E-commerce Co., Ltd." ”

"We at Penguin have decided to go into e-commerce, and this is our latest Penguin subsidiary."

"Ah......h

Deng Yunyun looked at the trademark on the wall for a while, looked at the business card in his hand for a while, and stared at Zhang Ning for a while.

"Then you are really Zhang Ning?"

"Hehe, when did I say no?"

……

After recruiting Deng Yunyun, Zhang Ning announced Penguin Technology's entry into e-commerce without much fanfare.

There's a lot of preparation to be done in the early stage.

"Sister Qing, our positioning is B2C for the time being, and I decided to buy a large number of goods first."

B2C is not the same as C2C.

C2C is the sale of users to users, and in itself, whether it is storage or sales, or sending goods, it is done by users and does not need to be burdened by the website. However, B2C is different. B2C is the enterprise sales to users, in the early days, generally speaking, the enterprise is the e-commerce website, they first go to the purchase, and then sell the product to the user. Of course, because of the large amount of purchase, it will be cheaper. It's just that B2C has a headache that he has to buy a lot of goods. Not only does it require a lot of money to buy goods, but at the same time, it also needs a lot of warehouses to store it.

Chen Qingqing also knew this, he asked worriedly, "Xiao Ning, B2C has 8848, a major competitor, not only will we enter the pressure will be very great, at the same time, our purchase, storage, will face great problems." It's better for us to learn from eBay, we only make a platform and let users come up with products for sale by themselves. ”

"Nope."

Zhang Ning shook his head.

The model Chen Qingqing said is the C2C model of eBay, and it is also the e-commerce model of Taobao in later generations.

Of course, Zhang Ning's denial is not that he does not disapprove of such a model. In fact, this model has a huge development in the coming years. It's just that it's 2001, and 2001 has a lot of stuff that restricts you from developing C2C too much.

"Sister Qing, although C2C has reduced a lot of investment. But he has a fatal problem, and that is logistics. Not to mention some small cities and rural areas, that is, our Yanjing, there are many places where the logistics are not perfect. The reason why I want to enter B2C first is that although the upfront investment is huge, we can strengthen the logistics management. Even, we can directly package our products to a logistics company, so that they can increase the number of people to ship to us. All of this can be done. However, if C2C is used sporadically, I am afraid that few logistics companies can do it nationwide. ”

In addition to the abundance of online goods in e-commerce, I am afraid that the most important thing is logistics.

If you buy an item online and it arrives a month later, I'm afraid you've lost interest in the item.

Now the national logistics is not as developed as the later generations, where can you get C2C first.

Just like later generations, Taobao was obviously only established after 2003, but he also lost to eBay, which was founded in 1999. Although among them, there is the genius of Ma Yun, but more importantly, it is because of the constraints of logistics. Otherwise, eBay, which was born a few years earlier, would have dominated the C2C world long ago, which turn would be the turn of Taobao that appeared later.

Just like JD.com, he did B2C first, and now, Ma Yun has some difficulties if he wants to surpass him in B2C.
