Reborn in 08, a heretical cultivator starting a business

Chapter 78: Front Page Headline, Revenue Explodes!
"None of the brands are up to standard?" Mayor Han's expression turned serious.

"Well... the brands I tested all had some issues, so I had to give up on them."

"Of course, it's also possible that there's a problem with that testing agency. Who knows, who knows!"

Wang Junshan spoke vaguely, and even somewhat incoherently.

Mayor Han's expression turned serious.

He understood what Wang Junshan meant!

Man proposes, God disposes.

The rest was truly beyond Wang Junshan's control.

He's just a 19-year-old soon-to-be sophomore in college, how high can he jump?
Even mentioning this matter carries a great risk.

But out of conscience, Wang Junshan still brought it up.

As for the outcome, it's really not something he can control!
He tried his best!

I also believe that Mayor Han understood.

Sure enough, Mayor Han's gaze towards Wang Junshan held a hint of appreciation.

Many people know about this, but very few dare to bring it up!
The weight on its back is something most people simply cannot bear!

Wang Junshan mentioned it, and the fact that he wouldn't sell domestically produced goods shows that he at least has a pure and innocent heart!
Mayor Han did not comment, but instead changed the subject: "I heard that YouTuan International also plans to establish a bonded warehouse in Binhai City?"

Wang Junshan nodded: "Yes. Binhai City is close to Japan and South Korea, which is extremely convenient for importing beauty products, baby products, and 3C products from Japan and South Korea. I also want to contribute to the economic development of Binhai City."

“Great! The city will introduce support policies specifically for cross-border e-commerce companies like yours. YouTuan International will be the first demonstration project. We will designate a bonded zone and provide a comprehensive package of policy support, including financial support, tax incentives, warehousing support, import and export support, and more!”

"Thank you, thank you so much! With a clean government and harmonious society, it would be difficult for Binhai City's GDP not to increase further!"

"Hahaha." Mayor Han laughed.

It's a cliché, but it sounds nice!

Mayor Han talked with Wang Junshan for a long time, and only after the secretary-general urged him repeatedly did he finally say:
"Xiao Zhang, please leave your contact information with General Manager Wang."

"Yes, Mayor!" Secretary Zhang replied quickly, his gaze towards Wang Junshan becoming more amiable.

He knew perfectly well that what was left was not his secretary Zhang's contact information, but a direct channel to the mayor!
This is great.

Wang Junshan was in high spirits; he had made the right bet!
Although Mayor Han is only the deputy mayor, he has great political ambitions.

Wang Junshan also returned to YouTuan Technology and held a meeting:

"By today, the exams are all over, and most universities have started their summer break."

"Even Binzhou University is having a holiday tomorrow, and everyone will definitely be leaving campus in a concentrated manner!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. In the past few days, orders from campus group buying have been decreasing day by day, and today's revenue has only reached 100,000.

There will only be less from now on!
"Boss, will YouTuan group buying continue to operate?"

A real problem is looming before us.

Continuing to operate, with few orders and insufficient profits, still requires a certain amount of resources.

Suspending operations means no more resource consumption, but profits and revenue also disappear.

Wang Junshan sighed: "At Binzhou University, about 30% of the students stay on campus during the summer vacation. Graduate students, for example, have to work and don't get a break. There are also students preparing for postgraduate entrance exams, part-time students, Olympic sailing volunteers, etc. The university continues to operate at a low standard. Canceling the door-to-door delivery service and switching to full self-pickup can still guarantee a certain profit."

"As for USTC and GINU, 20% of their students are staying on campus, and the store is located between the two universities, so it will continue to operate."

“Other schools have fewer students during the summer vacation. If they can’t make ends meet, they will all shut down. Schools with more students can continue to operate at a low level.”

"With fewer people, one small truck can deliver to all these stores!"

"The campus group-buying department will also be streamlined, with only one-fifth of the staff remaining to maintain basic operations. The rest will go to YouTuan International. Next, YouTuan International is going to explode!"

"Yes!" everyone responded and quickly made arrangements according to Wang Junshan's instructions.

Wang Junshan continued, "After tomorrow's news report, the number of WeChat users will surge, and YouTuan International's order volume will also explode. Everyone should get a good rest tonight, and we'll all work overtime tomorrow!"

"And the servers, expand them immediately to ensure there are no problems!" "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. We've expanded them tenfold. Even if the number of users reaches a million, it won't be a problem," Tang Jinghe assured her.

"That's good." Wang Junshan breathed a sigh of relief.

Building your own data center is cheaper in the long run, but it is technically difficult, requires high short-term investment, and is troublesome to expand.

Most importantly, it takes time; it can't be done in less than six months.

We also need to build our own technical and security teams, which can't be done overnight.

There's nothing we can do about it. It's unrealistic for Wang Junshan to build the server room and start developing WeChat in six months!
Then we'll have to rent a server first.

Renting a server is simple; just pay the money.

Neither security nor capacity expansion is a problem.

Once the money is in place, it's just a matter of making a phone call; we can increase it anytime!

YouTuan Technology directly leased independent servers from China Unicom in northern China.

Security is not an issue either, as China Unicom has its own security team in place.

A classic case of "it's good to have someone to rely on for shade!"

Meanwhile, the Southern region leased a telecommunications server in Shenzhen.

Of course, there are other optional targets.

For example, Alibaba Cloud's predecessor, Wanwang, could cover the entire country and its technology was very mature.

But cloud services are not yet widespread these days, and Wanwang's advantages are not significant.

Moreover, Wang Junshan's vertical e-commerce business is currently small-scale, so Alibaba doesn't take it seriously.

If it grows too big later on, then it's hard to say.

Compared to Alibaba's Wanwang, Wang Junshan has more faith in China Unicom and China Telecom, which have no business conflicts!
Revenue and profit on the 18th both dropped to their lowest levels.

Only 178 iPhones were sold.

U-Tuan International's other products only generated 15 in revenue, and its total revenue was only 149 million!
Compared to a few days ago, it's like night and day!
The saturation level is more severe than expected.

The number of WeChat users is only 14.5.

But on the morning of the 19th, everything changed!

WeChat users began to grow rapidly, adding 30 new users in just half a day, reaching a total of 45!
At the same time, U-Tuan International's revenue also soared, increasing several times over.

Sales of grey market iPhone 3G phones, in particular, skyrocketed, with 1200 units sold in just one morning!
Most of the orders are from Binhai City!
When you place an order with U-Tuan International, the shipping address and estimated delivery time are displayed directly.

Large quantities of goods are available in Binhai City, delivered to your door by SF Express, and can usually arrive on the same day.

Plus, the price is several thousand yuan cheaper than scalpers and personal shoppers, so there's no reason not to buy it.

Other imported beauty products and 3C products have also seen a surge in sales, increasing several times over.

The entire YouTuan business unit is extremely busy.

Especially at the warehouse, the packing staff are so busy they could barely keep up with demand.

Fortunately, Wang Junshan had made arrangements in advance, transferring people from YouTuan Group Buying to handle the emergency, which allowed them to cope with the situation properly.

It turns out that both the coastal media and the provincial media have reported on this!

And they were all given a lot of space.

The provincial business newspaper, in particular, gave it a front-page headline!
The headline was even more sensational:

[A 19-year-old college student from our province founded YouTuan.com, which generates tens of millions in monthly revenue!]

　Something came up, so the update is a little late.
