Chapter 121: Something Happened!
Fang is always good! ”
Not long after, Fang Ping took a taxi to Shentong Logistics Company, paid to get off the car, and directly entered Shentong Company.
Fang Ping also nodded in response, came directly to the office of President Chen, CEO of Shentong, knocked on the door, and pushed the door in.
"Who is so unruly... Mr. Fang, why are you here? ”
Mr. Chen, who was talking to Wu Yang and other vice presidents, just said something unhappily, and when he saw Fang Ping, he stood up suddenly, vacated his place, and beckoned Fang Ping to sit down.
Fang Ping looked around, and as he walked over, he said in surprise: "Are you all here?" What to talk about? ”
"Oh, I'm talking about the seven logistics centers equipped with large-scale automatic sorting systems!" Mr. Chen said busily.
Fang Ping walked to a position and sat down, raised his eyebrows, and said with some happiness: "So, the location of the seven logistics centers has been decided?" ”
"It's all set!"
Mr. Chen nodded: "At present, the construction is being carried out at the same time, and it is expected to be completed within a month!" ”
"It's a good job! Then I'm much more relieved! ”
Fang Ping calculated the time, and the logistics center will be formed within a month, which will not drag down the launch of the Weilai Mall, and he couldn't help but joke: "I'm still afraid that my Weilai Mall will be launched, and the promotional activities of Double 11 will be finalized, and you can't keep up with it!" ”
"So your e-commerce platform, the event in November is set?" Mr. Chen's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said.
It's not that he's in a hurry, but the logistics side has finalized the seven logistics centers, and he has burned a lot of money out.
And for fear of dragging down the activities of Fangping's e-commerce platform, some places can obviously use time to reduce prices, but considering the time cost, they spend a lot of money.
Such a large-scale burning of money made him panic.
I've never been so exciting in my life!
If Fang Ping said a word, the event was canceled, and he could vomit blood.
Fang Ping nodded: "It's set, the time of the event is what I told you before, November 11th." The mall launch time, November 1st, publicity and promotion, also began from this day. ”
"That's good, that's good!"
Mr. Chen breathed a sigh of relief and assured: "As long as your activities are finalized, you can rest assured that there will be no mistakes on the logistics side." ”
Fang Ping nodded, looked at the other four vice presidents, and said curiously: "By the way, you just said that it is equipped with large-scale automatic sorting system equipment, what is going on?" Already purchased? ”
"Yes, seven large automatic sorting systems have been ordered from Hop Country, and we are currently arranging for shipping back to China. Probably before and after the logistics center is formed, it will be able to reach the home country! Lu Jia, the vice president in charge of finance on the side, nodded.
Fang Pinghu was suspicious: "Since it has been decided, what are you going to discuss at the meeting?" ”
"Of course it's people!"
Mr. Chen poured bitter water and said: "In just two months, a lot of money has been sprinkled. Various projects are launched, and the personnel gap is getting bigger and bigger. ”
"And someone's logistics company also added fuel to the fire and hollowed out two branches in Shentong."
In the end, the old thing was brought up again, staring at Fang Ping with an extremely resentful look.
Lu Jia and the others glanced at each other and smiled secretly, the two branches of the magic capital were hollowed out by Fang Ping's Shunda Logistics, and they also learned the detailed inside story from various channels.
I know that this matter is in Mr. Chen's heart, and he is worried about it.
If it weren't for Fang Ping, the person who hollowed out the Shentong branch would have been mad, and the white and black means would have been launched, giving Shunda Logistics a hard lesson.
It's a pity that after learning that Shunda Logistics is Fang Ping, Mr. Chen's stomach is on fire and he can only hold it.
When it comes to the lack of people at this time, it is no wonder that Mr. Chen is angry and ridicules Mr. Fang.
Fang Ping noticed Mr. Chen's resentment, and a stirring spirit, coughed dryly and diverted the topic: "If there is a shortage of people, let the company's HR dig from other logistics companies!" As long as the hoe swings well, there is no one who can't dig it! ”
"It's lightweight, the money is too much, the company loses, the money is less, and if people don't come, how can it be so easy to poach people!" Mr. Chen was speechless.
Fang Ping shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mr. Chen, how can it cost nothing to dig people!" Moreover, the current company has a large shortage of personnel, and it should be regarded as a top priority to poach people. ”
"Besides, other projects have spent so much money, how much is the labor cost? You can't afford to lose a big deal because of a small thing! ”
The corners of Mr. Chen's mouth twitched, and he suddenly didn't want to talk to Fang Ping anymore.
It's not that Fang Ping said it wrong, but that he found that there was a gap between him and Fang Ping's concept of money.
Fang Ping likes to burn money, throwing out hundreds of millions of dollars, without blinking an eye.
And before he threw the money, he didn't say anything about it, and he had to find ways to deduct some of the money he was going to throw out to reduce the cost as much as possible.
Lu Jia, who is the company's financial officer and knows Mr. Chen very well, saw that Mr. Chen was silent, and said with a thin mud: "That, Mr. Chen is not unwilling to spend money, he just wants to plan it and implement it!" ”
Fang Ping heard Lu Jia's voiceover, and generally understood that Mr. Chen's thoughts were nothing more than the slamming of the door in his bones.
I can't say it's wrong, it's just that the pattern is a little lower.
As a business, how can there be a company that does not spend money, and enterprises that are reluctant to spend money will be eliminated sooner or later.
Think about the later generations of Jingdong logistics, which is also doing logistics, which was established later than Shentong, but it is willing to burn a large amount of money, and finally surpasses many old logistics companies and becomes one of the top logistics companies in China.
And this is just for development, there are many examples of burning money in later generations, purely with the mentality that others have it, and they should also have it.
The most famous is the money-burning war of the bike-sharing project.
The bike-sharing itself has high operating costs and a single profit model. But those giants are still one after another, burning hundreds of millions or billions of dollars.
Don't you know that you are burning money and squandering?
Of course, they know, but before the situation is clear, those giants would rather burn money and try and make mistakes than be one step behind.
However, Fang Ping also knew that the era that Mr. Chen had experienced was different from the era he had experienced, and he was conservative in management and work, and he did not think about changing Mr. Chen's concept immediately.
I couldn't help but shrug my shoulders and said, "Okay! I'll just casually say that in terms of company management, it is still based on Mr. Chen! ”
Mr. Chen was slightly moved, it is said that Fang Ping has a unique view on the manpower gap, and he can promote it as a major shareholder. Unexpectedly, he did what he said, obviously he had ideas about his own concepts, but he still supported himself.
As the saying goes, people respect me for a foot, and I respect people for a foot.
Fang Ping has given face like this, how can he stick to his own opinions and delay the progress of the company's strategy implementation.
Thinking of this, Mr. Chen turned his head to look at Wu Yang, the deputy general manager in charge of personnel administration, and said in public: "Mr. Wu, we will do what Mr. Fang will do when digging people, and make up for the gap in manpower as soon as possible." ”
"We must not affect the company's strategy because of a lack of manpower!"
Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, glanced at Mr. Chen in some surprise, didn't say a word, and went to politely say a few words.
No matter what Mr. Chen does, he only needs the result, regardless of the process.
"Yes, Mr. Chen!" Wu Yang was also surprised, but he still nodded.
Subsequently, Fang Ping paid attention to the details of the progress of Shentong warehousing and logistics, including the procurement of transportation vehicles, the design and arrangement of supporting functions of the logistics center, and so on.
In addition to checking and filling in the gaps, by the way, the operation of Jingdong logistics in the later world and the design concept of the logistics center were revealed, which subtly changed the concept of Mr. Chen and others.
After understanding the logistics things, Fang Ping wanted to go to the address of the logistics center, call the heads of the major logistics centers, and asked Mr. Chen and others to arrange the person in charge of the logistics center to prepare to connect with the procurement team of Weilai Mall and the business group.
Although NIO Mall will be launched in November, the procurement work will not wait until that time to arrange for goods to enter the logistics center.
Therefore, it is necessary to coordinate logistics in advance.
After Fang Ping left Shentong Logistics, he found a place to have lunch, and then came to Weilai Mall to preside over the work, preparing for the launch of Weilai Mall and the Double 11 promotion.
For the next period of time, Fang Ping worked in the Weilai Mall every day, supervising the business group and the development of the Weilai Mall, and by the way, he acted as the coordinator of the Weilai Mall and Shentong Logistics, coordinating the procurement of goods by the business group and stationing in the logistics center, etc.
With the passage of time, the development of NIO mall and the procurement of business groups have achieved great results.
First of all, the development of NIO Mall was completed two days ahead of schedule for internal commissioning. In terms of business group procurement, a large number of goods are shipped out from manufacturers all over the country every day and enter the seven logistics centers of Shentong.
On this day, Fang Ping went to Shentong again to deal with a matter of cooperation with Weilai Mall, returned to the office area of Weilai Mall, and prepared to arrange work, so he went to the investment company under his name to find an opportunity to harvest leeks in rice stocks to supplement the lack of funds for future technology cloud computing.
"Mr. Fang, something happened!"
As soon as Fang Ping entered the office area, Zhou Yuan, one of the leaders of the business group, hurriedly greeted him and said anxiously.
