Chapter 88 Partners

In a chat group of 56 people, Tian Ersan was the only group owner who did not engage in any productive activities.

Chengbang Trading: Hello everyone, bosses and managers, I am Tian Ersan, and I want to make more money with you all.

Wenran Milk Tea (General Manager Wang): Hello, Mr. Tian!
Chunxiang Ham Sausage (General Manager Zhu): I heard that Boss Tian is planning to do a live-streaming sales event, is that right?

Chengbang Trading: Yes, I plan to cooperate directly with manufacturers and source and ship goods directly from the source.

Jifeng Express (Wang): For express delivery, our group is willing to offer a preferential price.

Beitong Express (Chu Jian): Our group is also willing to cooperate with Mr. Tian. Everyone knows Mr. Tian's capabilities; he can handle at least several million orders a year.

Zhejiang Express (Yang): I think it's more than ten million. Last year, the national express delivery industry only reached five or six billion. In recent years, it has been booming. Everyone is developing and doing business. There's enough to eat, so let's not overturn the table.

Chengbang Trading: Mr. Yang is right. What I mean is that, apart from Jifeng Express, all other express companies should be set according to a unified price standard. Don't try to outdo each other. Jifeng charges high fees and delivers quickly, but I believe most customers will still use regular express companies.

Beitong Express (Chu Jian): Why are you using Jifeng Express to ship clothes, canned goods, and sunflower seeds? You can't keep the profit margin down, can you?

Chengbang Trading: Our future business will involve some computer accessories, so we'd like to invite you in advance to take a look. This will make future cooperation easier.

Swift Express (Wang): I'm really looking forward to working with Mr. Tian.

Chengbang Trading: I'd like to purchase a batch of goods at the factory price. If you're willing to lower the price, that would be even better. Reducing middlemen would be like running a promotion to increase sales. Also, I'll only accept one order for each type of product, such as mineral water, eight-treasure porridge, milk tea, and other beverages. We won't be mixing or substituting.

Zhejiang Tong Express (Yang): Why did you call five different courier companies?

Chengbang Trading: The fewer courier companies there are, the higher the courier fee; the more courier companies there are, the lower the courier fee.

Beitong Express (Chu Jian): This still forces us to undercut each other's prices.

Chengbang Trading: In business, while personal relationships are important, profits are also crucial; everyone has a group of people to feed.

Chunxiang Ham Sausage (General Manager Zhu): How can we cooperate on this?

Everyone in the group was watching the conversation on the screen, thinking about this collaboration.

As long as the goods can be sold, there will be no loss, which is why everyone joins the group.

But how much he can earn is hard to say.

Chengbang Trading: Similar to the Double Eleven event, I plan to hold a Pingduoduo live stream on August 8th to help everyone get rid of their stockpiled items at promotional prices and quickly recover funds to prepare for peak sales days such as Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Eleven.

Chunxiang Ham Sausage (General Manager Zhu): August 8th, in less than two months it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, and in a little over a month it will be Singles' Day, so there is still time.

Beitong Express (Chu Jian): There are no problems with the express delivery side; we are expanding our recruitment.

The express delivery business has been booming for several years, and promotional festivals such as Women's Day and shopping festivals have emerged.

With the rapid development of transportation infrastructure, express delivery companies have also started to cooperate with train, high-speed rail, and airplane companies.

As long as there's enough business, you can make money even by flying.

A person weighing 100 pounds would cost 600-700 yuan for airfare, and goods weighing 100 pounds would cost over 400 yuan if calculated based on 100 orders.

Moreover, airplanes can definitely carry more cargo than people, and it's not as troublesome as carrying people.

Chengbang Trading: I will invest in advertising and promotion myself, so I don't need you bosses to do much promotion. My only request is that you can give me a preferential price.

Baby Water (General Manager Hu): Boss Tian can earn more by raising the price; there's no worry about selling it anyway.

Chengbang Trading: I definitely can't sell it for more than the supermarket. I'd rather earn less myself than break the rules. If I really lose money, I'll just have to stop selling.

Tian Ersan quickly negotiated prices with the managers and CEOs of various companies. Some people didn't like discussing these things face-to-face, but as long as some people were willing, that was fine.

Cooperation can only be reached after the price is agreed upon.

For example, with ham sausages, the price of selling a box can definitely cover the shipping and advertising costs.

Drinking water and beverages are stocked in various places. The reason for choosing these large manufacturers is that they have factories in several major cities across the country and can ship directly from the local area.

After a busy day at get off work, Wang Linlin received a phone call.

"Mr. Tian, ​​someone said that the 123 website is in his possession and they want to talk business with you."

Tian Ersan walked over and picked up the phone. "Hello, this is Tian Ersan."

"Hello Mr. Tian, ​​congratulations on your fortune." A man's voice came from the phone.

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Hello, I was just about to register a website, but it turned out it was already taken. What's your name, boss?"

The man smiled and said, "My surname is Huang, Huang Wei. Boss Tian is a celebrity known throughout the country now, earning tens of millions a month. How much are you planning to pay for such an easy-to-remember domain name like 123, Boss Tian?"

Tian Ersan thought for a moment, "Would 100,000 be okay?"

Huang Wei's face darkened. "Mr. Tian, ​​don't joke around. You don't seem to understand this. Let me tell you the truth: my target price for this website is ten million, not the ten million you're thinking of, but ten million dollars! I won't sell it for a penny less!" Tian Ersan hung up the phone immediately.

A top-level URL can indeed sell for tens of millions of dollars, but that person chose the wrong target.

It is undoubtedly foolish to try to sell something that is intended for large companies and corporations to a single individual.

The phone rang again shortly after I hung up.

"You motherfucker! If you dare hang up on me, I'll call you every day! You son of a bitch!"

After hanging up, Tian Ersan said to Zhou Shanshan, "We're working overtime today. Call this number. The three of you call together. If that's not enough, call those vocational school girls upstairs to call this number together. I'll pay their phone bills for this month."

"Hang up as soon as you get through, no need for further conversation."

Zhou Shanshan smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Tian!"

It's just a nuisance call; anyone can make one.

You can block phone numbers, but it seems the only way to block a landline is to unplug it.

Tian Ersan sat down and checked the number; it turned out to be the number of a small company in Beijing.

Tian Ersan can check the other party's information, and the other party can also check Tian Ersan's information.

Not only the office phone, but the other party also knew Tian Ersan's mobile phone number.

About ten minutes later, an unfamiliar number called.

"You surnamed Tian! Do you want to die?!" Huang Wei cursed angrily.

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Haha, getting anxious? You want to sell me a website worth a few thousand dollars for tens of millions of dollars, and you're getting anxious now that I don't want it?"

Huang Wei cursed, "You really want to die! Let me tell you, I have connections in the police station!!"

Tian Ersan chuckled and said, "Then tell him to come and arrest me."

Huang Wei thought about it for a moment and realized he couldn't do that kind of thing. He quickly broke down and cursed, "You motherfucker! You just wait, I'll send someone to arrest you! I have a gun, I'll shoot you dead!!"

Tian Ersan laughed and said, "If you're so capable, keep changing your number. If you're still not satisfied after changing your number, keep calling. Then we'll change our number again."

Before the other party could even start cursing, Tian Ersan blocked the trash and sent his phone number to the customer service group.

Even if his father were the CEO of a trillion-dollar company with hundreds of thousands of employees, he wouldn't have the same freedom as Tian Ersan, who could arrange for a group of subordinates to make harassing phone calls.

Wang Linlin listened to the conversation from the side, and looked at Tian Ersan nervously after he hung up the phone.

"Mr. Tian, ​​will there be any problems if we do this?"

"No," Tian Ersan said with a smile. "If he can send someone to arrest me, I'll take you all abroad for a trip."

Two years ago, there was an incident where large companies arrested each other, so it has long been prohibited for entrepreneurs to cause trouble for each other.

Tian Ersan didn't tolerate this kind of spoiled brat and directly called the police to seek protection through legitimate channels.

The local police station quickly took it very seriously, as did the county-level authorities. The city-level authorities thought it was just an angry outburst but still reported it. The provincial-level authorities didn't report it but instead had someone check the number and asked the local police to investigate.

Although the Huang family holds power in some departments and enterprises, they are no match for Tian Ersan.

There was some friction between the Red Cross and Tian Ersan. Tian Ersan created a channel for doing charity without the need for a charitable organization, successfully bypassing the Red Cross to receive support from all over the country.

But the Red Cross is no match for Tian Ersan in public opinion, and public opinion never sides with it.

As for celebrities and entrepreneurs, that's even more impossible; they're orphans!
If any celebrity dares to say a single word about Tian Ersan, it will really cause a collapse.

Tian Ersan just ran from Zhongzhou to Lu Province, and then ran back to Zhongzhou after being wronged in Lu Province. Now all departments know that this guy is not to be trifled with.

The Huang family was like that; they dared not provoke Tian Ersan, that hot potato.

Their relatives, friends, subordinates, and leaders would not go looking for trouble, nor would they choose to die together with Tian Ersan when they could live a perfectly good life.

The matter was quickly brought under control. Huang Wei's parents scolded their son a few times for causing trouble, and then took the initiative to apologize and make peace with Tian Ersan.

Huang Wei's parents can resolve the issue quickly and calm down, so the higher-ups won't hold it against them.

If their family insists on making a big deal out of it, then we can only handle it officially.

Tian Ersan quickly obtained the domain name from the brainless playboy.

Although he also had a reputation for being a tattletale, Tian Ersan didn't care about that.

The dimmed golden statue is still a golden statue; the orphan status can protect Tian Ersan for a long time—this is the benefit of political correctness.
