Chapter 198: Standing at Thirty

In 2015, Chen Erdong was thirty years old.

This year, he didn't have a birthday party, his reason was busy, and it coincided with the arrival of the second container in April.

But even if he wasn't busy, he didn't want to.

He and Han Qingyu have not seen each other since the dinner before the Spring Festival.

The last thing he said to Lin Daqi turned out to be a quarrel over Guan Mingyue on the phone.

Based on these two points, on April 1 and the two days before and after, he didn't post a single circle of friends, for fear that someone would miss his birthday.

On his birthday, he went home and had a meal with his parents, which was considered to be a celebration of thirty.

At the beginning of August, Zhixinda Trading Company finally moved into the office building, because the business was so good, so good that it had to use formal corporatization and management to keep up.

Strictly speaking, this is the second time Chen Erdong has started a company. In the past, travel agencies and restaurants had companies that were nothing more than a business license.

The office is not small, close to 300 square meters, because there is a space for retail and shipping storage.

At this time, Zhixinda was not only limited to the sale of diapers and sanitary napkins, Chen Erdong investigated for a month and handed over all the tasks of organizing the supply of hot-selling goods to Tuye.

A comprehensive import and trading company covering maternal and child products, cosmetics, daily necessities and food products was established.

According to the configuration of the e-commerce company, Zhixinda recruited operations, customer service, art and warehouse management.

The warehouse manager is the waste collector who came to Chen Erdong's house to collect cartons for the first time, named Xu Bing.

He and the two bosses bonded over the collection of cardboard boxes, and slowly, they closed out a friendship.

Xu Bing is different from other waste collectors, he is a waste collector with ideas.

After graduating from high school, because his family was poor, his parents did not want him to go to college, so he left his hometown in the countryside to make a living in Jincheng.

He worked in a bar for half a year and found that a few bars could feed a scrapster, which piqued his interest.

Xu Bing always thought about what he could do, but he had no capital, so half a year later, he resigned and started the work of collecting waste with almost no threshold.

He packs quickly, is willing to run, and can also do sorting and planning.

In this way, he collects more waste than others, and he has a good relationship with the security guards in many communities, and can even collect waste exclusively in the area. jj.br>

Not only that, but he can also hoard scrap and wait for the price to rise before selling it according to changes in market conditions.

These experiences were revealed by him when he chatted with Chen Erdong Du Yu, who took advantage of his talent and persuaded him to come to work in the company.

In fact, the salary offered to him by the company is not as much as what he earns by collecting scrap products, but as a rural guy with ideals and ambitions, which path is more promising, Xu Bing's choice shows his attitude.

After half a year of cooperation, Tuye, Zhixinda and Huzi have formed an iron triangle, shipping, customs clearance, sales, the only thing lacking is sales automation.

In 2015, when the mobile Internet has been quite developed, Zhixinda's business model seems to be a little outdated, and sales and inventory are all completed through the Eel table.

Chen Erdong has always wanted to spend money to make an APP and make his own exclusive e-commerce platform, and he even thought of a name, called Zhixinda Air Department Store.

But he and Du Yu didn't know anything about software programs, and they never discussed the reason, so the idea was put on hold.

That's when an opportunity came.

An Internet company invested by Tencent has developed an official account program called WeChat Mall that allows you to shop and open stores.

Chen Erdong inquired that it is said that this move is an official micro-business platform specially established by WeChat in order to regulate the micro-business market.

At the investment conference of the micro mall, Chen Erdong and Du Yu went to consult.

This official account has many functions, merchants can open stores and put products on the shelves for sale, and customers can buy and place orders by themselves.

These functions are no different from Taobao, but the platform is different, and for Chen Erdong, it only solves the problem of sales automation, which is not brilliant.

But it has a function that completely attracts Chen Erdong, merchants can help people who want to open stores for free and distribute by opening permissions, similar to agents.

Selling goods for all people has always been Chen Erdong's wish, which is his association based on the social attributes of WeChat for half a year.

He immediately signed a contract with this company, then paid an annual fee of 20,000 yuan, turned around and returned to the company to start studying how to use it.

The architecture of the micro-mall is not complicated, but it can help Chen Erdong complete his business model.

He uses Zhixinda as a large warehouse, and all those who want to open a store can share the goods in the warehouse and become a distributor of Zhixinda.

In this way, distributors can not only open their own stores for free, but most importantly, they can also own thousands of products without spending a penny.

After the customer places an order, it will be shipped by the large warehouse and settled by the distributor every month.

Chen Erdong and Du Yu spent two days repeatedly deducing this model, and constantly adjusting the settings to feel the user experience.

Chen Erdong used the name of Zhixinda Air Department Store on his own micro mall, and then arranged artists to do related designs.

He spent half a day teaching his years of advertising experience and aesthetic style to the artist.

Today's micro-business is almost everyone shouting and fighting, and everyone's circle of friends will block them, and only put it there as a store to see it when necessary.

In fact, this phenomenon has begun to emerge in 2015, and the start-up micro-businesses are eager to send 100 advertisements a day in the circle of friends.

The rumored rectification of micro-businesses seems to be based on this consideration, if there is a mall in the form of a link, at least there will be no more advertisements flying all over the sky.

Chen Erdong and Du Yu sat in the office and looked at each other, without saying a word, the two of them were holding their breath for a long time, and finally Du Yu was defeated.

"Are you a fish? Hold it for so long! Then I'll ask first. It turned out that the first of the two to give up and the first to ask about the distributor.

"How many distributors do you expect to be able to hire?"

"At least a hundred."

"So sure?"

"Taobao just gives you the opportunity to open a store for free, but we give you a ready-made store, and that's the difference."

"How?"

"Development Seminar! I'm going to give a speech! Big move! Facing the whole city, when the time comes, find a large conference room in a five-star hotel, and you can make as big as you can move! ”

"Agreed! Do! ”

Chen Erdong's self-confidence is not groundless, in the past half a year of retail, many customers have consulted him whether he can buy goods from him and then resell.

Life is stressful, and who wouldn't want to give it a try when there are reliable and low-cost side hustle options?

Especially many young mothers who have given birth to children, there is no income at home with their children, if they sit at home and send WeChat to do business, and they don't have to worry about purchasing and shipping, why not?

Chen Erdong instilled this set of theories into Du Yu again, Du Yu felt that it made sense, and he felt that Chen Erdong was justified at any time.

"But there's still an important issue, super important." Chen Erdong regained his composure, and he had been very excited in the Q&A session just now.

"If we really recruit a lot of distributors, the supply is a problem, two aspects, the ability of Tono to organize the supply and the problem of funds to purchase the source."

"Let's not talk about the source of goods, you are worried about the ...... funds," Du Yu asked.

"What if someone wants to buy 100,000 packs of diapers tomorrow and we only have enough money for 50,000 packs?"

"He's going to have to pay the deposit first!"

"Big brother, retail, I'm talking about retail, then in other words, you open a Taobao store, someone places an order of 100,000 packs, and it must arrive on time, but we only have 50,000 packs in stock, what should you do?"

Du Yu understood, Chen Erdong was afraid that the amount of funds would not keep up with the sales volume and the shortage of goods, which would be fatal to e-commerce.

Chen Erdong took out a loan of 700,000 yuan, and after paying 200,000 yuan, he and Du Yu each paid 200,000 yuan to make the first batch of diapers.

The first batch of supplies to the mother and baby store earned 100,000 yuan, and when the third batch asked for four containers, the two took out another 50,000 yuan each.

The 500,000 has now become 1.5 million, Chen Erdong calculated, he still has 200,000 deposits, if Du Yu takes another 200,000, he can have nearly 2 million to start the distributor plan.

"Is two million enough?" Du Yu also calculated, and then asked.

"You can take more if you want, but I won't let the shares." Chen Erdong suddenly burst out laughing.

"Damn, you want to take advantage of me all the time." Du Yu flicked a finger at Chen Erdong's forehead.
