this man is not calm

Chapter 141 A single force can't do anything alone
Jin Shang already understood the ins and outs of Sun Daqi's invitation to attend the meeting.

Foreign trade is very important. Any small change, when enlarged to the national level, will have immeasurable impact.

"Brother Sun, what is today's meeting mainly about?"

Sun Daqi had expected Jin Shang's question, so he answered leisurely:
"It is mainly the evaluation indicators and quality standards of the e-commerce industry! The former is an access condition, and the latter is an operational requirement."

The explanation is very clear, but not detailed enough.

If you fail to meet the evaluation indicators, you will not be able to engage in the cross-border e-commerce industry, or your functions will be limited; if you have problems with the operation requirements, you will be punished by industry standards, and even your qualifications will be revoked.

It is already a very troublesome thing to apply for export qualifications. Selling things online or abroad will involve very complicated procedures.

In more than a month, the Internet will be fully connected. Many people who are concerned about the development of this aspect want to get a share of it, but how to operate it will definitely not work without standards and norms.

Several people had a conversation while eating, and after exchanging opinions, they basically had unfavorable thoughts.

It is necessary to prepare in advance, but judging from the current level of development in the country, it is difficult to make any substantial progress in the short term.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting started on time.

Jin Shang basically didn't know the people who gave the speech. Some of the words seemed to make sense, but after careful consideration, there was nothing substantive.

After more than an hour, Jin Shang roughly understood what he wanted to emphasize during this ventilation.

From the perspective of evaluation, it can be seen that the person who presided over the meeting has done enough homework.

Cross-border e-commerce platforms are defined in detail in terms of user experience, sales and transaction volume, platform adaptability, product supply and inventory management, timeliness and security of logistics, user evaluation and feedback.

Specific to page design, ease of use, interactive experience, packaging and delivery safety are all mentioned.

The second part to focus on is the quality standard.

Products, websites, logistics, after-sales service, customer privacy, transparency and even social responsibility are all targeted.

However, after Jin Shang sorted out all these, he found several fundamental problems, which he didn't mention at all.

For example, crisis prevention, payment and liquidation processes, tax procedures, etc., not to mention these, small and medium-sized private enterprises will not engage in cross-border e-commerce at all, the risk is too great to bear, and large-scale joint-stock online shopping platforms, Won't invest too much in this.

The current environment is actually not suitable for the development of e-commerce.

In the motherland of the previous life, it was not too late to start e-commerce, but they were all crowded in the B2B (business-to-business) field, burning money crazily to grab the market and gain attention. In the end, almost none survived.

After several years, the industry elites realized that the B2C (business-to-person) and C2C (person-to-person) models are the correct way to open.

Relying on B2C and C2C, and then making up for the shortcomings of the B2B international e-commerce platform, it is possible to succeed, and vice versa is a dead end.

Finally, Sun Daqi, who had been preparing for a long time, gave a speech as a representative and consultant of private enterprises.

It has to be said that Sun Daqi's eloquence has improved a lot during his activities in the field of foreign trade and economics in the past few months. It is completely different from the lame remarks he made when he came to fool Jin Shang a few months ago.

Jin Shang already knew exactly what he said.

Payment, settlement, distribution and taxation are the most concerned issues of Jinshang and a large number of entrepreneurs who want to make money in this industry.

In order to enrich his speech, Sun Daqi also asked Jin Shang in detail what problems he encountered in the process of online shopping and simultaneous development of online and offline.

These are not secrets, and Jin Shang did not hide himself.

There are some things that Jinxi Culture and Family cannot accomplish at all.

Such as online banking, fast transfer, third-party payment, distribution system, tax accounting and so on.

It is a good thing for Sun Daqi to raise this issue at such a heavyweight meeting, even if it slightly touches the leaders at the decision-making level.

Ten minutes later, Sun Daqi finished his speech and stopped for a while, waiting for the leaders to ask questions.

"What you just said, where did the e-commerce revenue data model come from? As far as I know, there is no mature e-commerce platform in China, and there are only a few small start-up companies abroad..."

Sun Daqi, who had been prepared for a long time, took a deep breath and replied calmly:
"Indeed, this industry is still in its infancy. No matter whether it is domestic or foreign, there are not many samples to check, but there are foreign and domestic..."

While speaking, Sun Daqi asked his assistant to operate the computer and project the screen onto the rear curtain wall.

This is the offline life section of Jinxi Culture, since the beginning of the layout, the monthly revenue change curve, and the growth deviation table calculated on a weekly basis.

In the trend chart of more than two and a half months, the sales of signed jerseys, sneakers, coupons, discount coupons, league tickets, etc. have been tepid in the past month or so. Although the growth rate is also very large, but because the base is too low, Reference value is limited.

Since entering June, a large number of audio-visual products, cultural shirts, game discs, second-hand books, etc. have been launched, and the trend curve has become "magnificent". .

Especially in July, in the first two weeks, it rose with an exaggerated appearance of nearly 300 degrees. Since the concert tickets went online, it has reached nearly [-] million in revenue at a speed of more than [-]%. The audience couldn't help being in an uproar.

Of course, everyone has also seen that the reason for the substantial increase is the impact of emergencies.

But even if the income from concert tickets is excluded, the growth rate still reached 30.00%.

"How could this be? There is no such an exaggerated increase in economic indicators. It stands to reason that the sales of these daily-use related products and coupons should not have such a big change. It can't be that the data is falsified, right? The responsible person of this company Are people here..."

Sun Daqi, who had known this would happen earlier, pointed to Jin Shang who was sitting at the back.

Having settled down, Jin Shang raised his hand and signaled the staff to pass over the microphone.

At this moment, Jin Shang saw that the camera in the corner had turned its direction, and several others were holding up their cameras, as if they were preparing to take pictures.

"Is this going to be on the news? 』

Gathering his mind, facing everyone's gaze, Jin Shang responded:
"I am the general manager of this company - Jinxi Culture. The data in the screen can be guaranteed to be completely authentic and verifiable. The materials submitted by the industrial and commercial taxation department can be used as evidence."

"What is the reason for such a strange growth, have you investigated it?"

"The company's technical department has tracked the IP addresses of active accounts, and it can be basically determined that it is affected by the holiday economy. At the end of June and early July, schools at all levels are basically on summer vacation, and young people are more accepting of new things. , I am also very familiar with the Internet. I asked the data of the basic operators, and the installed capacity of newly connected computers has also increased significantly. Therefore, it is not that the total consumption has suddenly become exaggerated, but the consumption desire of ordinary residents , was suppressed..."

"Holiday...is it a sudden release? It makes sense."

After writing a few words on the paper, the old man with glasses who asked the question held up the frame on the bridge of his nose, stared at Jin Shang for a while,

"You...that's...I can't remember the name, I was on TV a while ago!"

"Jin Shang!"

"Yes! That's Jin Shang, your company is doing e-commerce?"

"Test the water in advance, try to see if the combination of the Internet and the real economy will work, the effect is not satisfactory!"

"What are the specific policy pain points?"

Jin Shang smiled and pointed in the direction of Sun Daqi.

"I won't talk about the details. The biggest trouble is that I have talked a lot with Consultant Sun..."

"Hmm! Payments, shipping and taxes..."

Each one is a tough nut to crack, the old man asked after pondering for a while,

"How do you solve it now?"

"We have limited cooperation with Industrial Credit Bank, and temporarily deal with it by recharging pre-sale members. The success rate in actual online shopping transactions is hovering around 30.00%."

"So low? It obviously suppresses the desire to consume!"

It seems that these people in front of them are quite knowledgeable and down-to-earth, and they know the problems in actual transactions.

The issue of taxation is not easy to mention for the time being, but the payment can be advanced as soon as possible, which is convenient for entrepreneurs to develop business.

It is still too early for third-party payment, at least get a reliable and usable online bank first.

"Because there are mature credit card payment channels in foreign countries, users have also developed the habit of spending ahead of time. Therefore, the development of e-commerce has natural advantages. Let's..."

Shaking his head slightly and sighing, the old man signaled Jin Shang to sit down, and continued to ask Sun Daqi about the questions he had just given during the speech.

In fact, the distribution business is also a small trouble.

In name, the policy is to allow private enterprises to set up express logistics business, but in fact, due to various considerations, official postal channels are controlled by the government, bulk logistics is controlled by state-owned enterprises, private people can only express in the same city, informal consignment, etc. Strictly defined "grey areas" struggle to survive.

Up to now, there is not a single license issued to private enterprises in the country.

That is to say, in essence, Jinxi Culture cannot openly carry out the express delivery business, and can only play around in the name of its own terminal delivery.

If you sell it yourself, you can give it yourself; if someone else sells it, you can’t give it away, and you can’t accept a third-party entrustment.

This actually cut off a leg of the asset-heavy logistics and distribution business. If no changes are made, the cost of warehousing and express delivery will definitely not be reduced, and naturally it will not be able to support self-operated e-commerce.

Jin Shang is helpless about this situation.

The postal warehousing and logistics system, to a large extent, reflects the degree of control over the land under the feet.

In the history of this time and space, there has never been a story about the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty by unemployed postmen in northern Shaanxi, but this does not affect the perception of this industry by discerning people.

Before infrastructure, social cognition, and information management reach a certain level, the young people of later generations don't have much impression of who are the people who walk around the streets and deliver goods.

The official postman is okay. Practitioners who wander in the semi-black and white area are essentially of the same nature as quarrying, building materials and earthworks, private kilns and coal mines, etc., and they have no connections and influence, so they can't be covered at all.

In his previous life, Jin Shang was also out of curiosity. He had learned about the fortunes of SF Express, three links and one delivery, and basically began to rise during this period.

The former was in the Pearl River Delta. Anyone who knew about the unique community culture and local security situation at that time knew what was going on.

The latter is in the Yangtze River Delta, and the situation is a little better. However, if you look at the large express companies that can develop later, they all came out of one county. It can even become known as the "Hometown of Express Delivery".

It is precisely because of his understanding that Jin Shang only dared to make a small attempt in the intra-city express delivery, delivery in different places, or spend money to go through the regular postal channels, only this way is the most reliable.

Now is not a good time to buy land, build warehouses, and recruit people to develop logistics and distribution.

Jin Shang and Sun Daqi talked about these "pain points", and the other party also agreed with them. They also mentioned them in the speech report, but they were not so straightforward.

Sun Daqi, the consultant, seemed to be valued very much, and he was the only one who mentioned some "dry goods" more or less.

Participants not only included practitioners in foreign trade, legal system, and financial system, but also experts in sociology and economics, who asked many questions.

Some of Sun Daqi answered by himself, and some of them were explained by Yang Qi and Yang Qiuping.

During the period, a staff member calmly handed over a stack of contact information, and Jin Shang also took out his business card with interest, and asked the other party to send it on his behalf.

The importance of today's meeting may be greater than imagined. The value of Jin Shang and his company is not in the millions of dollars in revenue. Everyone is obviously more interested in the growth rate that is very eye-catching.

From the unique data samples in China, many valuable development trends may be seen, which provide necessary reference for decision-makers and entrepreneurs who are interested in working in this industry.

Seeing Sun Daqi on the stage who was full of vigor and eloquence, Jin Shang couldn't help but secretly sighed.

In the Internet industry, it is a good thing to enter early and have no competitors, but it can develop to a certain extent. Jin Shang unexpectedly discovered that many new things have to be pioneered.

"Lonely and alone!Promote basic service providers to reduce tariffs, open a fast payment opening in the banking and financial system, relax the control of express delivery logistics, issue official licenses after qualification review, and eliminate the ambiguous areas that make people worry. Do not move. 』
