Chapter 126: Scrapwood Alliance's Million Army
The place Liang Ying chose was not high-end, just a restaurant that was better than the food stalls. As soon as he walked into the restaurant, he saw a group of migrant workers-like people eating and drinking around a few tables that were not polite at all, if he hadn't suddenly seen Liang Ying and Cao An, Bai Shuo really thought he had come to the wrong place. Liang Ying also saw Bai Shuo and the three of them, and enthusiastically pulled them inside, and came to a table, Bai Shuo found that the people at this table were obviously more Sven than the other tables, but except for Liang Ying, Cao An, and Niu Er, none of the others knew each other. There were still three seats left at this table, obviously reserved for the three of them, Bai Shuo was not polite, pulled out a chair, wiped it with his hand, and asked Li Zhen to sit first, and then he also sat down next to him, and the pillar sat next to Cao An.
At this time, Liang Ying happily yelled at everyone: "Hey, let's be quiet and introduce to you, this is my good brother I just mentioned, Bai Shuo, Mr. Bai." ”
"Mr. Bai is a good !!" Liang Ying had just finished the introduction, and before Bai Shuo had time to say hello, everyone greeted Bai Shuo in unison, and that posture really felt like a robe brother.
Bai Shuo unconsciously clenched his fists with both hands, and arched his hands and said, "Hello little brothers, hello little brothers!"
After the introduction, everyone returned to their places, and the whole restaurant became noisy again, Bai Shuo found that the whole restaurant had been wrapped up by Liang Ying, and he did not receive other guests, but Liang Ying's brothers alone sat at a full 5 tables.
Looking back, Liang Ying had already poured a full glass of wine for everyone. Then Bai Shuo, Zhuzi and others were introduced to the other four people, namely Brother Wang, Brother Li, Brother Zhang, and Brother Liu, who were the little leaders of this group. Bai Shuo saw four people, all of them were around 30 years old, fierce and honest, but it was time to do business. Liang Ying said to Niu Er again: "Brother Niu, most of those brothers are not drinking or having fun, you have to help me calm the scene today." Niu Er knew the task he came today, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liang, don't worry, I know my task, I like this kind of task the most, don't worry." Everyone was amused by Niu Er's words, and at Liang Ying's suggestion, they raised their glasses one after another and took a big sip. Bai Shuo was a little hungry, so he put down the wine glass and took a piece of meat back to the pot to eat. As soon as Bai Shuo ate it, his eyes lit up, and he took a few bites of other dishes in a row, only to find that although this restaurant didn't look good and the dishes didn't look good, it tasted really good.
Liang Ying obviously saw Bai Shuo's doubts, and explained to Bai Shuo and the others with a smile. It turns out that these people who are eating today are all partners of a shopping and delivery service project that Liang Ying used to do, and Bai Shuo had heard Liang Ying mention this project before, but he didn't understand it carefully. In fact, Liang Ying came up with this project by himself, and he found that the pace of work and life of urban people is getting faster and faster, and the socialization of housework is an inevitable trend. In the future, more and more people, in addition to work, may not want to do anything when they get home from work, or even go out to buy things and eat, so Liang Ying gathered a group of people who are good at riding motorcycles, but have a relatively low level of education, and are not easy to find jobs in the city for a while, and set up a delivery service company, as long as customers have needs, they will ride motorcycles through all corners of the city, help customers purchase, deliver things, and even do everything that can help customers run errands. And the owner of this restaurant used to be one of them, and after opening this restaurant, because they are all old acquaintances and good quality and low price, it has become a gathering place for this group of people, and everyone loves to eat here in their leisure time and chat with each other about the day's errands.
After listening to the introduction, Bai Shuo looked at Liang Ying with some surprise, and he suddenly thought of the "certain regiment" in later generations and the army of millions of riders under it. Liang Ying's this, if it insists on development, isn't it similar to the predecessor of "a certain group"? .
"What's the name of your project or company?" Bai Shuo asked.
Liang Ying scratched her head and said a little embarrassed: "At that time, I wasn't a son-in-law in the Bai family, everyone said that I was a waste, and in order to cover it up, I was willing to be a waste." The word waste is generally called waste wood on our Hong Kong Island, and many of these brothers feel like me, they have no ability and are looked down upon, so I organized this group of brothers and named it "Waste Wood Alliance", and the company formed is also called the waste wood errand service company. ”
Hearing this, Bai Shuo looked at the "waste wood" present, these people are honest-looking, and they may not have much knowledge and ability, but their faces show a sense of perseverance and self-improvement that does not admit defeat.
"Fuck, what's that name. Such a good project, why did you give up, didn't you think about making it bigger?" Bai Shuo said with hatred that iron is not steel.
Liang Ying felt the change in Bai Shuo's tone, and said with a slight stunned: "It's not that I was afraid of being sabotaged before, so I have never dared to invest too much, as long as the brothers can have food and clothing." Later, didn't I mess with you to do something else, how could I still have time to do this, this matter is now supported by a few of their brothers. Speaking of this, Liang Ying pointed to Wang, Li, Zhang, and Liu at the same table, and continued: "Besides, if this business wants to become bigger, there are still many conditions that are not available, such as personnel management, order management, information management, cost accounting, etc., which need to be solved with great efforts. ”
"Yes, I often have to talk to customers for a long time when I take a task, and some of the purchase amount is slightly larger, so I don't dare to take it, for fear that something will go wrong, and it is still quite troublesome. "The information on the merchant's side is also not very symmetrical, and we are sometimes quite annoyed when we are caught in the middle. "It's satisfying to be able to mix food and clothing like this, but if you want to expand your business, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." At this time, Wang, Li, Zhang, and Liu also complained.
"You stupid, in the future, an APP, fully automated information management and data processing, customers, merchants, and riders are seamlessly connected, how can it be so difficult. Bai Shuo said excitedly.
“APP?” Liang Ying asked suspiciously.
"Well, the APP is the software that will be used on smartphones in the future. Bai Shuo knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly explained. Li Zhen glanced at Bai Shuo lightly, knowing that he had pulled out those things in his memory again, looking at his embarrassed appearance, he didn't hold back, and showed a smile.
Bai Shuo paused, and saw that everyone was listening to the conversation between him and Liang Ying at this time, so he said to everyone: "Brothers, I don't think the word waste wood should be used on you. You have brought convenience to every customer by your own labor and sweat, and have contributed to the economic development of this city. And what you're doing is actually a very meaningful, very great thing, and you may not think it right now, but I promise you, another five years, no! three years. In three years' time, what you have done will change an era. ”
At this time, Bai Shuo turned his head to look at Liang Ying and continued: "Lao Liang, think about it, after the popularization of smart phones in the future, everyone can use the software on their mobile phones to query the merchants and stores in the city where they are located, and place orders on their mobile phones for what they want to buy and eat, and then these riders of yours will pick up the goods at the merchants according to the order, and then deliver them to the customers in a very short time." If you can achieve such an effect, do you think there is any value in such a project?"
Liang Ying thought about it according to Bai Shuo's description: "Oh my God, if you can really achieve such an operation, it will simply be a thing that changes people's lifestyles, and even changes the times." Now a certain treasure actually has such a function, but the difference is that it is more similar to a kind of online commerce, while your idea is a kind of construction of the same city economic circle, which pays more attention to the service and the change of people's lifestyle. ”
Cao An thought for a while and said: "Yes, after all, a certain treasure is slow to be efficient, and things like fresh food, fruits, and cooked food that need to be delivered urgently, they can't play much role." This project can fill this gap. ”
"Well, yes, speaking of which, I think that in the future, whether it is online shopping, or distribution in the same city, logistics is a very important development direction, the current postal business is outdated, the future is destined to not keep up with the pace of development, this piece of cake, we must also grab, how much can be grabbed, the future can control e-commerce and logistics distribution enterprises will stand at the top of the economy and trade. Bai Shuo continued. At this time, he had already found that the eyes of many riders who heard these words already had a different brilliance, but he couldn't find that Li Zhen's eyes had changed when he was looking at him from the sidelines, like a little girl full of admiration, but with a trace of entanglement.
Liang Ying nodded: "Let's not talk about big logistics, just talk about the problem of distribution in the same city, if every city is covered according to what you said, how many people will be needed to do this?"
Bai Shuo smiled: "In the future, science and technology will be developed, and it is not impossible to achieve unmanned distribution." But at present, you can only rely on manual services, how many of your brothers do you have?"
Liang Ying glanced at everyone, pouted and said, "There are about 50 people at present." ”
Bai Shuo exaggerated as if he was about to spray rice: "Look at you, is there a lot of 50 people? Let me tell you, if you really do the business, 50 people may only be enough for our Baijia Town." In the future, the number of riders in the country will be at least one million. There are at least hundreds of millions of businesses across the country that are connected, and the value of the enterprises standing at the top of this business is at least more than one trillion. ”
At this time, all the people on the scene were stunned, and those honest riders had no idea how much a trillion was. Liang Ying also saw the huge business opportunity at this time, and asked eagerly: "Then what should we do?"
Bai Shuo smiled: "What else can I do, with the development of smart phones and 3G and 4G technology, make plans in one year, lay the foundation in two years, I estimate that smart phones and 3G networks should gradually mature in three years, and then it will be the time for you to grow explosively." But when the time comes, it will definitely be a group of heroes, and it will be a life-and-death fight. Although we can go fast and take a lot of opportunities, we must be prepared to spend money at the beginning. ”
Liang Ying thought about it and said resolutely: "Smash, as long as you can get out of the encirclement, no matter how much money you smash, it's worth it, we will start to make a plan now, and then we will compare speed, experience, and money with them, so that they will always be left behind us." ”
Bai Shuo patted Liang Ying a little jokingly: "Okay, you have courage, don't say how much this company is worth at that time, just with the army of millions of riders under your command, in Huaguo, if you stomp on it, you can make the earth tremble." ”
Liang Ying lifted Bai Shuo's hand: "Get out, I'm going to create another Wenchuan earthquake, then I will be a sinner." ”
Everyone laughed, everyone seemed to be encouraged, and the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.
After the end of the night, Liang Ying ignored everyone's drinking, and took Bai Shuo and others to the rented house and talked about developing the business. He felt that even if he wanted to do this, he couldn't do it alone, after all, Bai Shuo was more experienced in this matter, and if he was not careful, he would easily be caught up by others, or even capsize forever. But Bai Shuo seemed to still have a taste of the restaurant, and didn't pay attention to Liang Ying's words, and suddenly said: "By the way, I said that in the future, when we receive guests and party with ourselves, we must have a base." Why don't we open a hotel or something?"
Cao An immediately responded: "Yes, yes, if you want to open a global chain like that Xier, no matter where we go, there will be a place to stay." ”
"It's Hilton," Li Zhen said.
"Well, yes, that's Hilton. That's what I'm talking about. At that time, every hotel restaurant will have to be run by international chefs, and I love to eat......"
Bai Shuo patted Cao An on the head: "Do you think it's fun to open a hotel, do you know how rich Hilton is? I think we will open a store in Shudu first, mainly because we will have a place to settle down in the future." ”
"Why, in Shudu, you are still afraid that there will be no place to stay, and you will open a house outside every day in the future. The pillar, who had been stuffy, suddenly said something at this time, and he was suddenly speechless.
"Hey, I said, aren't we here to discuss the delivery of the same city? Liang Ying saw that everyone had gone astray, and hurriedly pulled everyone's train of thought back.
"Hehe, the same, in the future, the hotel will also have online business support, and the online shopping business also needs the support of the entity, if the hotel becomes bigger, you will be given an exclusive price for your APP in the future, and it will not kill other competitors." Bai Shuo said happily.
"Well, yes, this hotel ...... I'm going off the rails again, so let's talk about the delivery business. ”
"What else is there to say, set up a company, recruit a professional team, make plans, lay the foundation, you can first make a website similar to a certain treasure, and establish channels in various places first. The rest will have to wait. ”
Liang Ying said hatefully: "Hey, it's really uncomfortable to wait, you said it would be nice if this 3G business could be in our hands."
Bai Shuo was shocked, this Liang Ying's appetite is really big, and he actually started the idea of telecommunications business, but this is really a good idea, 3G can't catch up, if it can dominate 4G technology, it is also excellent. Suddenly, Bai Shuo remembered the agreement with Steve, which was troubled by the earthquake and delayed a lot of time, so he had to hurry.
Finally, after some discussion, it was decided to establish "Lezhong Online Technology Company", which will focus on building "Orchestra Network" to enter the online shopping and urban distribution business. The company invested 100 million yuan in the first phase, with Liang Ying contributing 20 million yuan, accounting for 20% of the shares, Bai Shuo investing 15 million yuan, accounting for 15% of the shares, Changge Investment Company investing 15 million yuan, accounting for 15% of the shares, Dahua Holding Company investing 20 million yuan, accounting for 20% of the shares, Baima Brothers invested 10 million yuan, accounting for 10% of the shares, and Hengan Media invested 10 million yuan, accounting for 10% of the shares. Huaying Investment Company, a subsidiary of Huaying Group, invested 5 million yuan, accounting for 5% of the shares, and the Waste Firewood Alliance joined the new company at a price of 5 million yuan, accounting for 5% of the shares. Liang Ying is the chairman of the company, and Bai Shuo is a senior advisor. The company will do a good job in market planning and layout first, and when the time is ripe and rapid development is needed, it will invest in expanding shares or raise funds from the society according to the proportion of shares.
While determining the orchestra network, Bai Shuo and Cao An also actively decided to run a hotel. Bai Shuo personally invested 500 million, Baima Brothers invested 200 million, and Huaying Group invested 300 million, a total of 1 billion, and founded "Huatang Hotel Group" in Shudu. However, Bai Shuo suggested that the purchase of hotel land, planning and construction should be postponed to the end of the year, because when the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States completely broke out, it was the best time to buy the bottom of the industrial assets. At that time, there was no idea which ready-made hotel would go out of business, just in time.
