Chapter 630 WPG's Massive User Data: Transforming into a Platform? The Benefits and Threats of Technology?

"The number of pre-orders for your Wugengtian Mall's Snow White Essence Cream has exceeded 2.4 million, so the number of registered users must also exceed 2.4 million," Qin Sheng explained the basis for his judgment.

"Let me take a look." An Wuyang opened the back-end management system of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group's online mall and then checked the total number of users, which was close to 2.6 million.

An Wuyang then searched for relevant information using the filtering criteria, finding that the number of users who registered within three days exceeded 2.2 million.

Anwuyang has changed its screening criteria. Previously, Wugengtian restricted the sale of Shuxin Pills to women aged 12 to 55, but this restriction has now been lifted.

An Wuyang then checked the male accounts registered in the last three days, as well as the female accounts under 12 years old and over 55 years old.

The answer was surprising!
The number of accounts that meet any one of these three conditions exceeds 1.9 million.

This shows that there are indeed a lot of people who exploit loopholes for personal gain.

These bargain hunters were clearly planning to take advantage of the pills and resell them, but An Wuyang remained unmoved.

"The total number of users is close to 2.6 million, but most of them are of no value," An Wuyang said calmly, stating the relevant data.

The so-called "worthless users" are, in a literal sense, worthless.

The reason these users registered for Wugengtian online store accounts was simply to make money by taking advantage of promotions, rather than to become potential customers of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group.

Furthermore, Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group's production capacity is insufficient to meet the needs of so many consumers.

Qin Sheng lowered his voice and counted, "This user data is valuable."

An Wuyang glanced at Qin Sheng and said, "Your idea is dangerous!"

An Wuyang certainly knows that user data is valuable, but it's impossible for Wugengtian to sell user data privacy; that would be a foolish thing to put the cart before the horse.

Qin Sheng awkwardly added, "What I mean is, perhaps your Wugengtian Online Mall could consider a transformation?"

"For example, how about transforming into a pharmaceutical sales platform?" Qin Sheng suggested.

“You have a reputation, you have users, and most importantly, you have the driving force. If you transform into a pharmaceutical sales platform, you might actually succeed,” Qin Sheng added.

"For example, you could introduce a points system where users can redeem points for items like 'Soothing Pills' or 'Snow-like Essence Cream' after purchasing a certain amount of medicine from your Wugengtian online store," Qin Sheng explained in more detail.

“Anyway, you usually sell Comfort Pills at a fair price during the early morning hours. Why not let people redeem points for the right to buy Comfort Pills?” Qin Sheng thought his suggestion was excellent.

Qin Sheng continued, "When it comes to buying medicine, it doesn't matter where you buy it. If your Wugengtian Online Mall is willing to sell affordable medicines, and offers the advantage of redeeming purchase rights with points, wouldn't that be perfect?"

An Wuyang fell into deep thought.

Qin Sheng actually makes a lot of sense!

Wugengtian Online Mall has solved the most difficult problem of building a large user base, and now has more than 2.5 million registered users.

Although this number of users is highly inflated, a significant portion of users have multiple accounts, and the vast majority of users are there to take advantage of deals and benefits.

But as long as they come to Wugengtian Online Mall, they have already succeeded in the first step.

As for the 'driving force' that Qin Sheng mentioned, on the surface it is the points redemption for purchasing privileges, but in essence it is the core underlying logic that users want to get a good deal.

As Qin Sheng said, it doesn't matter where you buy medicine.
If Wugengtian Online Mall sells medicines at low prices, and users can earn points when buying medicines on Wugengtian Online Mall, and these points can be redeemed for the right to purchase Shuxin Pills or even Ningzhiruoxue Essence Cream, then why wouldn't users choose Wugengtian?

From the current perspective, Qin Sheng's suggestion makes a lot of sense. It seems that there is absolutely no possibility of failure for Wugengtian Online Mall to transform into a pharmaceutical sales platform.

But the problem actually exists!

Qin Sheng's ideas were not comprehensive enough.

First, if Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group announces its entry into the pharmaceutical sales industry and relies on an online mall to create a pharmaceutical sales platform, it will inevitably face suppression from other existing platforms.

These platforms will inevitably launch corresponding price reduction and promotional activities. For example, ibuprofen that originally cost 20 yuan will now only sell for 18 yuan, a direct 10% discount.

If Wugengtian Online Mall keeps up with the competition in promotions and discounts, then it will further reduce prices, even if it loses money.

Because temporary gains and losses are not important; what matters is defeating the competitors, then all the benefits can be earned back later.

Once Wugengtian (a pharmaceutical sales platform) gets caught up in such vicious competition, will it burn money to compete on subsidies and fight to the death with the other party, or will it slink out of the pharmaceutical sales platform field?
If you choose to quit directly, then why did you join in the first place?

But how long will it take to burn money and compete on subsidies?

Whether it's Taobao (owned by Ma Shoufu), the "cut-one-cut" platform, the Jingdong platform, or the Huangtuan and Lantuan platforms, none of these platforms are easy to deal with.

They may be competitors to each other, but if a new player comes in, they will unite to eliminate the new player.

Secondly, there is another crucial issue.

If the right to purchase the soothing pills is offered as part of a promotion, it means that the right to purchase them will be squeezed out from ordinary users.

Shuxinwan is the anchor of conscience under the Wugengtian banner, and Anwuyang will not easily touch it.

The most crucial point is that this is unnecessary at dawn.

There are ways to make money in the early hours of the morning, so why go into an unfamiliar field?

Ultimately, Wu Gengtian lacked a powerful backer, and the An family's resources were insufficient. An Wuyang only wanted to earn his share, not to blindly expand indiscriminately.

An Wuyang quickly went through these things in his mind and then rejected Qin Sheng's suggestion.

Tianyin Pharmaceutical Sales Company has always been a private enterprise. Qin Sheng's vision and perspective are more commercialized, and he has not realized the deeper considerations.

While An Wuyang and Qin Sheng were discussing the transformation of the Wugengtian online mall, the Gulfstream G650ER quickly climbed into the stratosphere, and the flight became stable.

Xia Yuqing and the other girls started taking photos and checking in, especially Qin Sheng's girlfriends. They had never ridden in a private jet before, so naturally they wanted to take photos and post them on their WeChat Moments.

Qin Sheng's girlfriend
Those who know, know?

How could they possibly pass up the opportunity to take photos on top-of-the-line private jets and post them on social media?
……

Tyrande, Guman.

Ruan Feihu led Xiang Nan and Fu Weijun through the urban village. After winding through the streets for about fifteen minutes, the three arrived at the entrance of a small alley. Two men were sitting at the alley entrance. As Ruan Feihu approached, the two men had already reached for their waists, a gesture indicating that they were about to draw their guns.

"Brother, don't misunderstand, I'm here to see Boss Bao!" Ruan Feihu said quickly, raising his hands.

"My name is Ruan Feihu. Please introduce yourself, brother." Ruan Feihu introduced himself.

"Wait," one of the lookouts reported, picking up a walkie-talkie.

About a minute later, the lookout received the feedback. He then searched the three men to make sure they weren't carrying any firearms before waving his hand and signaling, "Go in!"

Ruan Feihu led Xiang Nan and Fu Weijun into the alley. There were more lookouts in this alley, and in almost every room with an open door, someone was sitting at the door watching Ruan Feihu and the other two.

Nearly two minutes later, Ruan Feihu finally arrived at a small courtyard. This small courtyard looked out of place in the urban village because it was clean, tidy, and luxurious.

In the courtyard, a slightly overweight middle-aged man with a string of Buddhist prayer beads around his neck and a kind smile on his face greeted him, "Feihu, long time no see!"

This person is Bao Fujun, the "Boss Bao" mentioned by Ruan Feihu. He is a very powerful flour merchant in Tailande Guman and has armed forces in the Yellow Triangle region behind him.

In Gu Man's gray area, Bao Fujun was considered a big shot.

"Hello, Boss Bao!" Ruan Feihu greeted him politely.

"This is Xiang Nan, and this is Fu Weijun. They are my brothers who have gone through thick and thin with me," Ruan Feihu introduced to Bao Fujun.

Bao Fujun greeted him with a forced smile, like a smiling tiger, and then asked, "What brings you here this time?"

"Brother Bao, have you ever heard of 'heart-saving pills'?" Ruan Feihu asked.

Bao Fujun's smile faded. "Of course I've heard of it!"

Bao Fujun also suffers from heart failure, so he naturally knows what nitroglycerin pills are, but he simply doesn't have a way to get them.

"Flying Tiger, do you have connections?" Bao Fujun asked.

Ruan Feihu nodded affirmatively, "The chairman is coming to our Guman at dawn today. If we invite this chairman over as a guest, and he brings some nitroglycerin pills as a gift, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Bao Fujun sneered, "You've got some nerve!"

“Pufeng Lotus Group has already made it clear in the underworld that anyone who dares to cause trouble will be eliminated.” Bao Fujun stared at Ruan Feihu.

“Feihu, you’ve been in Guman for almost half a year now. Don’t you know the power of Pufeng Lotus Group?” Bao Fujun reminded him.

For Pufeng Lotus Group, crushing certain forces in the gray area is easier than crushing an ant!
"Doesn't Boss Bao want the heart medicine anymore?" Ruan Feihu asked back.

"Tell me your plan," Bao Fujun gestured for the other party to reveal their plan.

Ruan Feihu responded, "The chairman of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group will definitely be coming by plane. Given how much importance Pufeng Lotus Group attaches to this, they will definitely send someone to pick him up at the airport."

"The journey from the airport to the headquarters of Pufeng Lotus Group is our opportunity," Ruan Feihu emphasized.

“Given the traffic conditions in Guman, if we create some more chaos, we might have a chance to intercept their vehicles midway,” Ruan Feihu added.

"Boss Bao, with you and us together, we can definitely make this happen," Ruan Feihu said, making empty promises.

“Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group is very wealthy. If we invite their chairman over as a guest, we can not only get the heart medicine, but also win two happy outcomes and a large sum of money.” Ruan Feihu explained the benefits that could be obtained, in an attempt to arouse Bao Fujun’s greed.

Bao Fujun countered, "The other side definitely has bodyguards, and Pufeng Lotus Group will also have security personnel. How do we deal with these people?"

"We have a way to solve this!" Ruan Feihu said confidently.

“Boss Bao, you should have investigated me, so you should know what I’ve done in China and what I’m capable of,” Ruan Feihu added.

Bao Fujun thought for a couple of seconds before asking, "How many bombs do you have left?"

“We still have two high-powered bombs. Even if the enemy uses armored vehicles, we still have the ability to threaten them,” Ruan Feihu explained.

"Secondly, I also made some smaller bombs, but these bombs can be carried by drones. Through drone suicide attacks, we can eliminate the enemy's security personnel in advance," Ruan Feihu added.

If An Wuyang heard Ruan Feihu's explanation, he would definitely frown!

Technology has brought progress, but it has also made criminals more resourceful.

For example, the combination of drones and explosives is too easy to make by hand, with very low technical content, but it poses a huge threat and is also very lethal.

Ruan Feihu added, "Brother Fu Weijun is an excellent drone pilot. He once used a drone to transport flour across the jungle in the border region."

Fu Weijun responded appropriately, "Operating drones in the city is much easier than in the jungle. If I use the suicide drones made by Brother Feihu, I can take care of the security personnel."

After listening to the plan, Bao Fujun felt that it was quite comprehensive and highly feasible.

For example, by using the terrible traffic conditions in Guman to block the normal passage of the Wugengtian and Pufeng Lotus Group convoys, and then arranging for suicide drones to take out the security personnel first, while creating chaos, the situation would get out of control.

The only pity is that Ruan Feihu lacks enough human resources, which is exactly what Bao Fujun has filled.

Bao Fujun looked at Ruan Feihu with a half-smile, "Feihu, you really are a talent!"

Bao Fujun had previously tried to recruit Ruan Feihu, but Ruan Feihu politely declined.

Ruan Feihu responded politely as always, "Thank you for the compliment, Boss Bao."

Bao Fujun picked up his teacup, took two sips, and went over the whole plan in his mind again, silently considering whether he should join.

Ruan Feihu glanced at Bao Fujun out of the corner of his eye. He didn't know if Bao Fujun would agree, even though he had confidently told Xiang Nan and Fu Weijun that Bao Fujun would definitely join.

But right now, Ruan Feihu really has no idea what to do!
However, Ruan Feihu has a backup plan.
Xiang Nan and Fu Weijun were also filled with unease. They knew that Ruan Feihu had a trump card, but this trump card would completely expose their true colors.

They are actually unwilling to use their trump cards unless absolutely necessary.

Bao Fujun put down his teacup, looked at Ruan Feihu, and asked the most crucial question, "Feihu, have you considered another possibility?"

"What's possible?" Ruan Feihu asked.
