In December 2009, Lu Xiaocao began to carefully understand the relevant knowledge of cross-border e-commerce, she neither wanted to delay her husband and children, nor did she want to be a full-time mother.

After learning online for three months, Lu Xiaocao went to Shenzhen to discuss cooperation with several factories and began to try to do cross-border e-commerce business.

At that time, cross-border e-commerce was just emerging, and many companies were still in a wait-and-see state. Of course, there are also some people who have foresight and have made a lot of money in this blue ocean.

For the choice of platform, Lu Xiaocao only uses Amazon, a platform with warehousing and logistics services. This is easier for you to operate, as long as you choose the variety and upload the photos and documents to the platform.

All that remains is to order from the manufacturer, ship the goods to Amazon's overseas warehouse, use the FBA service of the Amazon platform, and if a customer places an order, Amazon will deliver it to your home.

Although Amazon's commission is very high, and various service fees are not low, it is trouble-free and more suitable for her current state. One person, one computer, one mobile phone, you can do it.

Scarface is of course very supportive of Lu Xiaocao's decision, a twenty-four-year-old, graduate from a university of higher learning, becoming a full-time mother so quickly, is a great waste of social resources and educational resources.

In the early stage of cross-border e-commerce, in fact, it is completely a blue ocean, as long as you enter, with a little effort, you will quickly become a winner in life.

Lu Xiaocao does the same thing as Scarface, she also has to do everything to the extreme. When she chooses the best products in the early stage, of course, the price will be much higher.

At that time, the best sales in Europe and the United States were small household appliances in China, as well as peripheral equipment such as mobile phones and laptops.

Lu Xiaocao only chose a few tests at that time, Bluetooth headphones and laptop batteries, mobile phone batteries and chargers.

Four categories, 20 kinds of single products, the first batch of orders are distributed according to the quantity surveyed by themselves.

The first distribution volume is nearly 200,000 goods, including logistics costs, and a total of 240,000 yuan is spent to overseas warehouses.

Originally, I thought that as soon as my things entered the overseas warehouse, there would definitely be orders, but I didn't make an order for half a month.

This made Lu Xiaocao wonder if this kind of thing couldn't be done. One morning, more than half a month later, I turned on the computer and entered the seller's background to see that each variety called the police, and more than 2,000 orders were issued overnight.

If there is enough stock, it is estimated that there will be more. This made her more confident, and she began to understand the methods and characteristics of cross-border e-commerce operations through various channels again.

After more than half a year of hard work, the rules have been basically mastered, and the platform has a recommendation period for each seller and each new product.

If it is the customer click-through rate and order conversion rate during the referral period, which meets the requirements of the platform, then the traffic to your product will be large. If you don't meet the target for several important metrics, basically you won't have orders for your goods.

A product, more than 100,000 sellers, if ranked after 100, it means that your selection or operation is very unsuccessful.

Of course, for a product and seller, there are more than a dozen evaluation indicators, all of which affect the sales of your products to varying degrees.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaocao tried it for the first time, and it was a success. However, electronic products are updated too quickly, and new products are always being released, so you need to constantly edit product documents and add photos.

I thought I was going to relieve my boredom at home alone, but I accidentally made a big business.

If it weren't for the abundant liquidity provided to her by Scarface, she might have faced difficulties in capital operation. The settlement between her and the domestic customer is that the order is 50% prepaid in advance, and the full payment will be settled after the goods are shipped.

However, from her order to the order, if she goes by sea, it will take nearly two months to go through.

The settlement period of the Amazon platform and the seller's store is to settle the account every half month, and it takes a few days to withdraw money from the overseas account to the domestic account after the settlement.

Her current replenishment cycle is once a week, and the replenishment amount is about 200,000. So without two or three million in liquidity, this thing will not work at all.

In fact, Lu Xiaocao's current flow of funds has reached five million, which is still a new product that she doesn't have the energy to put on too much. If you have energy, 50 million is not a big number.

E-commerce is like this, you can do 20,000, 20 million or even 200 million is not too much, it depends on your product selection ability and operation ability.

In the end, I had to use Scarface's trading company to do it, and I also hired a few college students to do the documentation and some basic work.

If you compare it according to the income and the number of personnel, Lu Xiaocao's cross-border e-commerce business is more profitable than all of Scarface's businesses combined.

The net profit per month is more than 400,000 yuan, which is still working while being a housewife.

Therefore, everything must be done as soon as possible, standing on the tuyere, pigs can fly, this sentence is not wrong at all. The key is whether you have the eyesight to see the tuyere, and whether you have the courage to stand on the tuyere.

Especially for those early cross-border e-commerce practitioners, they really don't have to work too hard to earn huge wealth.

Scarface and Black Beard had just been run-in, and Black Beard got sick. Intermittently returning to Japan for treatment, some Japanese say it was caused by China's pollution.

But Scarface thinks that it is mainly caused by this person's work being too meticulous and overworked.

Black Beard is the hardest working person Scarface has seen in a Japanese-funded company for so many years.

It doesn't matter if it's tiring from work, or it's caused by serious pollution. No matter what others say, most Japanese people are still willing to come to China as stationers.

Because in Japan, people like Kurosu are at the level of a section chief, and all of them are leaders above him, one is bigger than the other, and each one is more difficult to serve.

But when he arrived in China, he had only one boss, and that was Ohno, the general manager here.

Moreover, Ohno attaches great importance to Kurosu, and every time there is a problem with the cooperation between several departments, Ohno fully supports the work of the purchasing department.

Therefore, Blackbeard completely exhausted himself by himself. He wanted to do a job so much that he had almost nothing else in his eyes except work.

It's the kind of leader who does everything himself, so many things, can he do everything.

Scarface wanted to quit several times under the pressure of Black Beard, especially when several of his partnerships had problems.

But he still held back, if he left Shanpu, these businesses could be eaten up soon.

He can use a fair method to make his company compete, and it does not mean that others will do the same.

Although several factories are not alive now, they must also be supported until Shanpu's business becomes dispensable.

In fact, the most important point is that I am used to this kind of life, and if I really resign, there are people in charge of several factories, and I seem to have nothing to do.

Thirty-four years old is the golden age of work, although there is no shortage of money, but you can't waste your youth. So after thinking about it again, Scarface decided to do it for a few more years to see how it went.

Kurosu was discovered during a medical checkup in Japan in June 2010. The treatment was intermittent until November, but there was no improvement, and finally at the end of November, after returning to Japan for treatment, he did not return to Ben Thanh.

Ohno means that he wants Scarface to temporarily replace Kurobeard, and the management department works as a whole, but the name is not right.

According to the organizational structure, there is also Assistant Minister Terada, and Vice Minister Wang Chunfu, no matter what, it is not his turn to be a section chief to manage the department.

But these two nominal leaders, not to mention that General Manager Ohno can't look down on them, and they don't have the confidence to do a good job as the Minister of Purchasing.

Especially with the thorn of Scarface, they are even less confident, although they are secretly eager to try.

It can be said that Black Beard didn't completely suppress Scarface at that time, and Scarface did many things more beautiful than him, and it was more in line with Da Ambition's heart.

During the three months from December 2010 to March 2011, when Kurosu returned to Japan for treatment and was not sure whether he could continue to work here, the situation in the purchasing department became very delicate.

Ohno actually made a report and asked Scarface to temporarily manage the department in the name of the minister. Mizuno, Japan's chief minister of procurement, also supported Ohno's decision.

In their view, those who are capable should be reused, and the vice minister is a person from the Chinese investor, but the minister is appointed by Japan, and they will use whoever they think is suitable.

In order to cooperate with Ono's decision, Mizuno, who is the head of procurement at the Japan headquarters, has not recommended a candidate for the head of procurement at the Bincheng Plant.

The reason is that after Kurobeard's illness is cured, he still needs to go to Bincheng to work, and it is not necessary for the time being, he wants to let his old subordinates be promoted in this way.

However, the personnel department of the Japanese headquarters did not agree to let such an important position be filled by a foreigner, and they felt that even if it was only temporary, the position should be represented by a Japanese.

The personnel department of the Japanese headquarters still has a lot of power in this regard, and since the procurement side has not recommended a suitable candidate, they will tentatively let Terada act as an agent for this position.

This has led to a very strange phenomenon, Ono, the general manager of the Bincheng factory, has left Scarface to handle all the work of the purchasing department.

And most people in Japan who are engaged in design, technology, and procurement, if they have something to do in Hamaki, they look to Terada.

Mizuno, as the top leader of the purchasing department of the entire group, is unable to manage the purchasing department of this branch.

If he wants to know about an important decision, the implementation of this side of the city. He needs both Scarface and Terada to report to him, and then he has to analyze and summarize the results of the two reports.

However, this situation did not last long, and the Japanese side officially appointed Terada, who was not yet 30 years old, as the head of the purchasing department of the Bincheng factory.

At the same time, the Bincheng factory also appointed Scarface as the assistant director of the purchasing department, enjoying the treatment of the deputy minister.

Scarface's appointment is the meaning of Ono, the general manager here, and this position has always been held by young people in Japan before.

In June 2011, Japan sent a 24-year-old man named Koji Funada as an assistant minister.

This has led to a special organizational structure of one director, one deputy minister, and two assistants on the side of the purchasing department of the Bincheng factory.

But it's nothing.,Originally, like Scarface, who has the ability to be a minister.,It's always been the ceiling of the career as a section chief.,The use of talent is not very good.。

But Terada's next commotion directly led to Scarface's resignation.

He first appointed Qin Jian as the head of the purchase section, and later appointed Lu Xiaoyu as the head of the purchase management section, completely dispersing Scarface's power, obviously to set up Scarface.

These are actually nothing from a normal point of view, and in Scarface's opinion, these two people also meet the standards of section chiefs, and if he is a minister, he will do the same, and General Manager Ohno also agrees.

But in the next work arrangement, Scarface is very angry, and Terada does not respect Scarface's opinion many times when he has internal meetings.

But something went wrong, or the work was not completed according to the scheduled time, and Scarface said that the assistant was not responsible.

Everyone can see that Terada has some villains, and he may have been holding back the fire for the past few years. came to be an assistant to Mizuno.,As soon as he came, he was arranged under Scarface.,It's all the work that is done.。

Later, it was easy to become a section chief, but after not being a year, he was snatched away by Scarface. I feel that I have always belonged to Huaicai, and this time the sudden return of the black beard almost made this Chinese sit on his head again.

He vented all his grievances on Scarface, this kind of person is actually the least qualified to be a leader, and he can't distinguish the priorities of work.

Scarface was very domineering, and Mizuno conceded three points at that time. Because he feels that he is making decisions entirely from the perspective of his work, he rarely compromises.

Mizuno is a person who understands that as long as Scarface can create the greatest benefit for the company, he will let Scarface toss. It's so good to get rid of the shopkeeper, why do you have to do it yourself.

Although Blackbeard is very hands-on, he also has great leadership potential, at least he can judge very well where the main contradiction in this matter is, and what is our ultimate goal.

So if you have a disagreement with Scarface at work, both of you may slap the table and argue. But they will soon shake hands and make peace, do not delay work, and do not bring this emotion to the evaluation of personal work ability.

But this Terada is different, he was a small soldier when he was in Japan. I came to China to practice gilding, and I was supposed to return to China after three years, but because there was no more suitable position, I continued to stay here.

The main reason is that Mizuno hates him a little bit and wants him to exercise more overseas. But by chance, this person suddenly became a member of the feudal officials, and it was also his luck.

A general is incompetent and exhausted to death by the three armies, Scarface had been taught when he was in Murata Furniture, and now he has encountered it again, so he can only avoid it and decisively resign.

Here I have to say that a Japanese-funded enterprise has a special employment culture, that is, no matter how incompetent the Japanese are, they will not be lower than the Chinese in their positions.

Because they are their own people, Chinese employees are always outsiders. Maybe I also think that if you are not of my race, your heart must be different. In short, that's what happened, and that's how it turned out.

Scarface officially left Yamapu in September 2011, and as long as he wants to find another part-time job, basically Japanese companies across the country can choose it.

Thirty-four years old, nearly 10 years of experience in department management, native Japanese language proficiency, English is also able to communicate directly. So it's in the prime of his career, but Scarface is now reluctant to be subservient.

He has achieved financial freedom and is ready to take a few months off to experience the great rivers and mountains of his country with his wife and children, and then think about the focus of his future work.
