The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 526 Another Difficult Decision
In the early morning of the next day, Ma, who didn't raise a penny, hurried back to Hangzhou, called all the company's executives, and announced an important decision.

"I announce that the company will implement a new policy, that is, the payment for all merchants must be transferred to the seller's account one month after the buyer confirms receipt of the goods!" Old Ma announced in front of everyone This decision, and this decision immediately made everyone's surprised mouths almost drop.

But soon, they understood what Old Ma meant.

Although the money in the account of the Forty Thieves is almost empty now, in fact, a large amount of funds will pour into the account of the Forty Thieves every day. After all, the funds for buyers to purchase products must first be remitted to the account of the Forty Thieves Inside, and then transferred to the seller's account through the forty thieves.

Originally, according to the previous rules, as long as the buyer confirms receipt of the goods, the Forty Thieves will transfer the buyer's payment to the seller's account. If there is any problem in the process, it will be deducted from the buyer's deposit.

This rule is very reasonable, but there is a supplementary clause afterwards, that is, after 7 days of delivery, regardless of whether the buyer clicks to confirm receipt, unless the buyer lodges a complaint through the system, indicating that the product has a problem, otherwise [-] The thieves will transfer the funds directly to the seller's account.

This rule is of course unreasonable if you look at it carefully. After all, the rule set by Jiangnan Mall is that only when the buyer confirms receipt and there is no complaint within three days, the money will be transferred to the seller's account.

This is the most reasonable way, otherwise, once the seller has a problem, it will be a lot of fun to send some empty packages and run away.

It’s just that there are many problems in the actual application of this rule. The most obvious problem is that many buyers have not clicked to confirm receipt. It is impossible to get information from the courier whether the buyer has received the goods.

It is also impossible to add a setting that as long as the logistics delivery is successful, even if the buyer does not click to confirm receipt, the system will automatically confirm receipt after how many days.

Of course, this problem does not exist for Jiangnan Mall, because Jiangnan Mall uses its own logistics, and Jiangnan Express has an extremely perfect express system, so it can give immediate feedback on whether the express delivery is successful.Then set the rule that if you do not click to confirm receipt three days after the delivery is successful, the system will directly click to confirm receipt.

However, Jiangnan Express can generally deliver the goods to the door within 1-5 days, so as long as there is no complaint in the middle, the sellers of Jiangnan Mall will have to wait at least 4 days and at most 11 days from delivery to receipt of payment. time of day.

However, this speed still makes many merchants very dissatisfied. In 11 days, it means that they will have a large amount of funds in the hands of others.

And those who open online stores are generally small merchants. If the online store is prosperous enough, it will cause the capital flow of many merchants to break.

Therefore, when Gouhuasuan was recruiting merchants, these merchants put forward a condition, that is, once the goods are shipped, if the buyer clicks to confirm receipt, the money should be transferred to them immediately.

If the buyer does not click to collect the goods for more than 7 days, then the money should also be transferred to them.

Faced with this request from the merchant, the Forty Thieves also had a very intense discussion.

Many people think this is not acceptable, because if merchants play empty shipments, and then deliberately delay the logistics time, so that buyers can receive the goods after 7 days, they will be able to run away with the money directly. Buyers can only come to their troubles.

However, Ma Ge finally made the decision and agreed to this condition.

Because Gohuasuan at that time needed these advantages to attract more sellers, and secondly, Lao Ma felt that risks in this area could be avoided.

First of all, the qualification materials and personal information of these merchants must be strictly reviewed. If you can run away, you can't run away from the temple.

Secondly, when receiving the goods by express delivery, they can ask the express company to check the goods first, and only after confirming that the real goods have been delivered can the delivery be considered successful.

With these two restrictions, large-scale empty package fraud can be avoided, so small-scale cases cannot be prevented, but the losses in this regard can be borne by the company itself.

In addition, this rule only lasts for a short period of time. Anyway, according to the contract set by the forty thieves, the company has the right to change the relevant contract terms at any time. After the platform is up, it will modify the rules to ensure the interests of buyers. .

Anyway, in a word, first deceive the sellers, and then expand the scale of the mall.

This is November 2003, 11, the 2th day after the event started. According to the rules, even though most of the express delivery has not yet left the warehouse at this time, the Forty Thieves have already paid the backlog in their hands for the previous 12 days. to the merchant.

This is also the reason why Lou Wensheng cried and told Ma Ge yesterday that he had no money and that the company would not be able to survive.

As of November 11, the sales of the entire event had reached a level of 2 billion yuan, of which 90 billion yuan was sold before October 70, and this amount of money had been sold for more than 10 days. The ten thieves have already sent the 28 billion payment to all the merchants.

The terrible thing is that there are still five days of nearly 20 billion in payment waiting to be paid.

However, the Forty Thieves only received a total of 50 billion yuan in payment from the seller, plus more than 20 billion yuan from Moneymaker, and barely paid 70 billion in payment, and then they were completely out of money.

Some people may wonder, isn't it sold for 90 billion yuan? How could the forty thieves only receive 50 billion yuan?

The reason is very simple. First of all, out of the 90 billion yuan, about 20 billion yuan are various subsidies, that is, the cost borne by Gohuasuan Mall.

As for the remaining 20 billion, it was paid by the buyers through the money spent... These buyers actually did not pay, and the money was also borne by the forty thieves.

As a result, all the funds on the books of the Forty Thieves have been squeezed out, but there are still 20 billion in the stage of waiting for payment, and there is still a shortfall of 20 billion in the money-making flower, and I don't know how to fill it.

The whole situation can be described as a mess, so Lao Ma needs to urgently go to Hong Kong to borrow money to save his life.

It's just that the event has not ended yet, and Ma Ge revised the rules in advance, extending the time to one month, which means that the Forty Thieves will be in the next month..., not very likely in the next two months, There is no need to pay any cash to all buyers.

After all, a large number of express delivery is now squeezed, and most buyers receive the goods, and that will be a month later.

And because everything has to stay in the hands of the forty thieves for two months, and in these two months, the forty thieves will be able to accumulate a very large sum of money.

Take this event as an example, within half a month, there have already been more than 90 billion yuan in sales. If the payment is postponed for two months, there will be buyers of 70 billion yuan in the next two months. Let's pay, such a huge amount of activity funds is in the hands of the Forty Thieves, and the Forty Thieves will no longer have any financial problems, and he can continue to spend like this.

And because this rule can continue forever, they can always owe the seller at least one month of funds without paying, so there is no need to worry about the problem of thundering the money.

After figuring this out, the boulder that had been hanging over everyone's minds suddenly fell down this time. Well, there is no need for financing this time, and the Forty Thieves are completely alive! !
However, some people still expressed concern. For example, Lou Wensheng asked Lao Ma after hearing this, "Boss, if we do this, those merchants will definitely disagree, and they will be very angry. What if they rebel at that time?" ?”

"Don't worry, they will never dare to rebel!" Old Ma smiled slightly, he couldn't help thinking of the miserable laborers he saw in Hong Kong yesterday, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, but He put on a calm and steady expression again.

"For the sake of a great cause, we can only suffer for them first!"

------

In the afternoon of the same day, Gouhuasuan issued an announcement to all its sellers, the content of which is as follows.

【

Dear seller friends:
Here we make a difficult decision.According to the feedback from the logistics provider, because the logistics is in a state of bursting, and all the couriers are in a high-load working state, many couriers cannot implement the rules of verifying the goods before delivery as required in the previous rules.

At the same time, some logistics companies found a large number of empty packages during the express sorting process, which may lead to many merchants sending out empty packages to defraud buyers of funds.

According to statistics, at least our company has been defrauded of more than 5 million yuan of empty parcels, which has seriously damaged the interests of buyers and the operation of the company. The company will definitely take legal measures to severely punish the relevant sellers.

Just because of logistics reasons, our company cannot verify the next package, and if we continue to allow empty packages to damage the company's interests, it will be a huge loss that our company cannot afford in the future.

So we have made a difficult decision here to suspend the payment of all sellers. All payments must wait for the buyer to confirm receipt of the goods, and no complaints have been made after one month to ensure the authenticity and quality of the goods and the buyer's satisfaction. The interests and the normal operation of the company will not be disturbed, and we will pay for the goods immediately without delay.

All of this, in order to protect the interests of all buyers and protect their property safety, we are duty-bound to this!

I hope everyone knows and understands.

Thank you!
