Escort

Chapter 538 This is... B2C? !
Escort Zhang and Fatty Qi were fishing in the backyard. While holding a half-peeled kiwi fruit, Qi Guanyan frantically put earthworms on the fishhook, "I heard that your escort company is making good profits this year."

"Well, it's not too bad." The otaku said lazily. He had already put on the bait and swished the hook out with a wave of his hand. If the wedding gifts were not counted, Dayan Mobile's profit for the year was about There are 10 taels of silver, but 8 taels of which are from Xue Yuandao’s single commission, and the daily operation of the security agency is only more than 2 taels. This is mainly because Dayan Mobile is currently in a period of rapid expansion, and the money earned is basically invested immediately. It's under construction, recruiting troops, setting up a branch, personnel training, plus a huge investment in Qingyang Academy... To be honest, under such circumstances, there can still be a profit of 10 taels this year, which is beyond someone's expectations I expected it, uh, but after thinking about it, half of the money was cheated by some unscrupulous genius doctor, Zhang Dabaotou began to feel distressed again.

It is estimated that Dayan Mobile will be able to initially complete this phase of strategic expansion by the beginning of next year at the earliest. Its 74 branches will spread all over Liangzhou, forming a huge logistics network, which will greatly reduce transportation costs. It will have a terrifying impact. At that time, the Northwest Escort and the Zhenbei Escort will no longer be a threat. Dayan Mobile will also replace the Zhenbei Escort to become the No. [-] Escort in Liangzhou. In other words, someone's Escort will really start to make money. In fact, it should be next year.

When Qi Guanyan heard this, he immediately became interested, "Well... after your bodyguard agency covers Liangzhou, are you interested in starting a side business?"

"Huh? What kind of side job."

Fatty Qi put down his fishing rod and rubbed his hands with the kiwi fruit, and said, "Ha, this is actually my initial idea, brother, you are also very business-minded, and you just happen to help me with my staff, you know, we are in the grain business To put it bluntly, it is to buy low and sell high, and earn a little difference. For example, if the harvest is not good due to a small disaster in the north, we will buy grain from the harvest in the south and bring it to the north to sell. There are a lot of things that can be messed with, but before the shipping cost was too high, no one was interested in it. Not to mention the low gross profit after a hard trip, the key point is that you don’t know whether you can sell it after you pull it back, especially some things that are not suitable for storage. If no one cares about it, you will lose money, but now that your logistics network is completed, the first problem has been solved, leaving the second problem, ha, I also found a solution not long ago."

"Oh? Let's talk about it." Chief Security Officer Zhang was also aroused by Fatty Qi's words.

Fatty Qi's small eyes sparkled, and he spit out two words, "Reservation."

"what?"

"At present, I have cooperated with some local merchants in Qingyang who intend to open up foreign markets. Most of these people are very confident in their products and are very popular in the local area. Will it be able to maintain this kind of popularity in the future, so we generally don't buy it, so we simply bypass these middlemen and sell it ourselves." Qi Guanyan took out a booklet from his pocket while talking.

"This is..." The otaku opened the booklet, and was almost blinded by the four characters "Taobao groceries" on the cover. Take sweet potatoes as an example. It says watered with spring water, sweet red hearts, pure natural and pollution-free.

Qi Guanyan said triumphantly from the side, "How about it, isn't the word Taobao very eye-catching? Shopping here is like shopping for treasures. As long as you look, you will definitely find what you like. I plan to invest 1 taels in the early stage. Yinzi printed [-] copies of this brochure and distributed it to various places in Liangzhou. Those who want it can go directly to the local Dayan Mobile branch to make an order, pay half of the deposit, and we will ship it to him from Qingyang. Then he pays the other half."

The otaku sucked in a breath of air, "My good guy, at what age have you started playing B2C? Big brother, you are too trendy. Don't leave any room for Liu Qiangdong and Jack Ma at all."

Fatty Qi added, "This book is just a sample, and I would like to ask an artist to add illustrations to each of the goods in the future, but in this way, the booklet will have to be twice as thick, and the printing cost will increase a lot , so I haven’t decided yet, oh, by the way, our profit method is mainly through commission, and 5.00% of the transaction fee is charged for each transaction. Well, this may be a little high, but there is no way, who asked us to invest in the early stage Big, the fee can be lowered appropriately after the transaction volume increases. I think [-]% to [-]% is a reasonable range. In addition, my business needs to attract you, and your Dayan Mobile is the top priority. Heavy, after receiving the deposit, notify the buyer to deliver the goods, and then the buyer will hand over the goods to you for inventory, and after confirming that there are no defective products, deliver the goods to the buyer in the shortest possible time, and then sign for the final payment. Hey, this job is not easy. How about you? Are you interested? You don’t need to pay, the main reason is that your semicolons may have to suffer a little bit, and if you lose money in the end, I will count it. You seven."

I have to say that Fatty Qi is very interesting. This method of sharing is a bit of a disadvantage for him at the moment, but his investment is mainly in publicity. Later, when Taobao groceries become famous, this part of investment will be reduced accordingly. On the contrary, Dayan on the otaku side Mobile requires continuous investment in manpower and material resources. On the whole, this share is quite reasonable.

The otaku shook his head, "In business, there are gains and losses. It doesn't make sense for you to bear the losses alone. Let's do this. If we lose money, we will bear our respective parts according to the proportion of the share. In addition, I can make a difference in the semicolon." Small area for Taobao groceries, hire a specialist to handle Taobao groceries related affairs, and you can also distribute your brochures in a targeted manner. There will always be basic brochures in the place for consultation, and it is also convenient for buyers to pick goods.”

The Taobao groceries proposed by Fatty Qi is very interesting. It is a rudimentary form of a shopping website, but it is a pity that there are at least a few hundred years before the emergence of the Internet. However, the successful construction of Dayan Mobile’s logistics network throughout Liangzhou has made Qi Guanyan keenly aware of the business opportunities. As he said, the reduction in transportation costs will greatly promote the circulation of goods, and indirectly give birth to such an advanced business model as Taobao Grocery. For now, no one can say whether Taobao Grocery will lose or gain. After all, today The logistics cost and speed are not comparable to those of later generations. For example, the price of the Qingyang sweet potato in the previous brochure is two to three times that of the local sweet potato. Even if someone buys it, it may be just for early adopters. Special products with shipping costs may be more popular.

(Responsible editor, it seems that the books in the bookstore at the starting point have been blocked, oh, I hope it can be restored soon~)
