Rebirth starts from e-commerce

Chapter 230 The Problem of Death
Back home, Luo Xiu came out of the shower, sat on the sofa and chatted with Guan Shiyu for a while.

"Did you find anything different about me?"

When Guan Shiyu asked this, she just wanted Luo Xiu to praise her.

In the eyes of Luo Xiu, who has been deeply educated by the Internet in later generations, this is undoubtedly a matter of death.

If you answer honestly, you will probably die a miserable death.

While pretending to observe carefully, he quickly thought about the standard answer.

"I think your eyes are very beautiful today."

"Where does it look good?" Guan Shiyu continued to ask.

"The ancients described beautiful women. If you add one point, you will be too fat, and if you lose one point, you will be too thin. Your eyes are the same. There are exactly two eyes. One more is scary, and one less is also scary."

Luo Xiu was talking nonsense seriously.

"Pfft, is there anyone who praises you so much? Who doesn't have two eyes?"

"It's too much. The Candle Dragon in Shan Hai Jing has only one eye, Erlang Shen Yang Jian has three eyes, and you happen to have two. It's really amazing."

"So you also have two eyes, which is quite remarkable."

"No, I have three eyes, one more mind than you."

"You mean I'm short-sighted?"

Guan Shiyu rushed towards Luo Xiu furiously, like a fierce and cute cerebellar axe.

……

After the Double Eleven event plan is confirmed, the next most important thing is to stock up.

With a value of hundreds of millions, for a company that has just been established for more than two years, the pressure is not ordinary.

If the effect of the activity is not satisfactory, the goods will be kept in the warehouse, which is really a disaster.

Those who participated in the operation of Double Eleven for the first time were trembling, fearing that they would not be able to sell.

Of course Luo Xiu is also worried, although most of his goods have a payment period of more than one month, and although the debt is owed to the uncle, he doesn't want to become an old man at a young age.

And he's not some rich second generation, who can't stand up again after falling down.

Fortunately, Taobao Xiaoer in this era really holds the belief of serving merchants and growing together with them.

After they worked out a plan with the merchants, they were more worried than the merchants that the goods would not be sold.

There was even Xiaoer who said to Luo Xiu: "Mr. Luo, don't worry, if the Double Eleven really doesn't sell well this time, I'll arrange a few parties for you to save money, and I will definitely clear the goods for you."

Luo Xiu was really moved by Xiao Er's words, and it also relieved him of a lot of worries.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu called Ye Xiaomeng into the office:

"Squad leader, go and make an announcement for me. At two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, all dealers will be called for a meeting."

Ye Xiaomeng thought for a while, "I'm a bit rushed, and some of the journeys are far away, so I may not be able to arrive in time."

"Just tell them that if you don't come to participate, we will re-evaluate the cooperative relationship between the two parties."

"Okay boss, I understand."

Luo Xiu learned a lesson from the incident at the Yucheng Electric Appliance Factory last time. For each category, more than two suppliers were supplying him, so that he would not be restricted by these suppliers.

After there are more suppliers, the management of suppliers is another big problem.

Nowadays, many e-commerce companies do not pay much attention to the supply chain system, and the supply chain department often plays the role of a backer in the company.

Good sales performance is due to operation and promotion.If performance is poor, inventory backlog, or product quality problems, the supply chain will be held accountable.

Speaking of the supply chain, Luo Xiu couldn't help but think of the future Apple CEO Cook.

After Cook took over from Jobs, his business model has been criticized by Apple fans.

In the hearts of Apple fans, Jobs is the soul of Apple. Under his leadership, Apple has created many great products.

And his successor, Cook, doesn't seem to be good at making products, "just" an expert in supply chain management.

Every time the fruit fans of later generations release a new machine, they will sigh:

"If Master Qiao is still there, there will definitely not be a protruding camera."

"If Chief Qiao is still there, there will definitely not be ugly Qi Liuhai."

"If Master Qiao is still there, the screen won't get bigger and bigger."

"If Master Qiao is still there, the capacity of the battery...the capacity of the battery may be smaller, then it's okay, let's talk about the next question."

However, Cook, who has been living in the shadow of Jobs, has increased Apple's market value tenfold in ten years.

Jobs took great pains to shorten the inventory cycle from 2 months to 1 month.

After Cook took over, he reduced the inventory cycle to an astonishing 5 days, while Samsung took 21 days in the same period.

Fans of these results don't know, and don't care, they only care about Qi Liuhai.

Luo Xiu has been working in the e-commerce industry for so many years, and he has seen countless popular e-commerce companies go bankrupt due to poor handling of supply chain problems, so he naturally understands its importance.

Double Eleven is a stress test for the supply chain department, so he can't help but pay attention to it.

The supply chain is also applicable to the barrel effect. Any problem in any link will drag down the overall efficiency.

Luo Xiu decided to control the source of the link, that is, the supplier, which is one of the reasons why he called all the suppliers.

"Thank you all partners for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend the meeting..."

Luo Xiu stood on the stage and personally presided over the supplier meeting.

The main content of the meeting is about the preparation of this Double Eleven event.Luoxiu made a PPT to introduce in detail the goals of this Double Eleven and the pace of stocking up.

After listening to this PPT, ordinary people may get overwhelmed and follow Luo Xiu regardless.

But those sitting here are all veterans, so they are not so easy to be brainwashed.

"Bosses, if you have any questions, you can ask them now."

After Luo Xiu finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Of course they have opinions in their hearts, but they just don't want to be the first to stand up.After all, Luo Xiu can be said to be their biggest customer now.

"Mr. Liu seems to have something to say." Luo Xiu took the initiative to call the names.

"It's like this. Our factory has always given Pinru a two-month billing period before, but this time the number of orders on Double Eleven is too large. If so many payments are not settled, it will be a big challenge for our capital turnover. , I hope Mr. Luo can understand our difficulties and pay 70% of the payment in advance, and the rest can be paid slowly."

What he said was that the factory's capital turnover was under pressure. In fact, the bill period had been two months before. This time, seeing that Luoxiu took too much goods, he was afraid that he would never return.

To put it bluntly, he just wasn't optimistic that Luo Xiu would be able to produce so much goods on Double Eleven.

After someone took the lead, other suppliers also opened their mouths.

"We can accept the billing period, but we have to pay the usual price. Mr. Luo, you are too ruthless in suppressing the price this time, and we can't do it!"

"Our factory's current orders have reached the end of the year. If we want to take over your business from Mr. Luo, I'm afraid we will have to double the wages and arrange workers to work three shifts."

……

Luo Xiu didn't speak, and listened to them silently.
