Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 380
March 6th is Jingzhe, the third solar term among the twenty-four solar terms. It refers to the spring thunder in the sky awakening the stinging insects on the ground. It also means the return of spring to the earth and the resurrection of all things.
The temperature in Linchuan has begun to get warmer, and the precipitation has gradually increased. Spring plowing, spring planting, and continuous spring rains.
During this period, Lana Wei had selected a group of key personnel in the Ministry of Commerce, and Susan's application for a school-leaving internship was also approved. After a group of sixteen people gathered together, they headed to Kyoto together.
Lana Wei's contact was with a GIS company called Gaode, while Susan's contact was with a freight company called Ocean Supply Chain.
The businesses on both sides are carried out at the same time, and they are independent of each other while collaborating with each other.
In fact, before coming here, both of them had a vague feeling about the boss's purpose. John Qin said it was okay and he would know it once he got there.
And when they arrived, looked at it, and studied it, they really understood what they needed to do.
The purpose of discussing cooperation with Gaode is to add an online navigation function to group shopping, so that consumers can know the store location at a glance when they choose to go to the store.
It not only saves you the trouble of calling to inquire about the location, but also allows customers to quickly understand the distance between the target store and themselves.
It is said that the Shanghai World Expo Museum is currently using this system, and John Qin also came here for this system.
On the other side, Susan also discovered something very interesting in the ocean supply chain.
This company is engaged in import and export trade. It has its own logistics park, which covers a large area. The goods they transport cover various fields, and the categories are complex and diverse.
Coupled with the tedious work steps of receiving, inspecting, assembling, and transporting goods, this logistics park should have been a mess.
However, Susan discovered that this was not the case.
They have their own freight management system. The upstream department performs input and the downstream department performs inspection and receipt. This not only saves time, but also saves labor costs.
After observing for about three days, Susan understood that the boss wanted to refer to their freight management system to develop a commodity management system suitable for group buying.
After the system is launched, merchants can use the commercial backend of the group to list the goods or services operated by the store by themselves, and can also change information such as inventory, dining tables, and business hours at any time.
You should know that the entry of store information before group joining is done by the technical department.
Several newly launched group buying websites have also followed this model, actively collecting merchant information, and then arranging their own technicians to manually help these merchants be listed on the shelves.
Dozens or hundreds of companies are fine, but as the market expands, the workload will double.
How many businesses are there in a city? How many merchants are there in ten cities? How many merchants are there in one hundred cities?
When you spread it across the country, how many manpower do you need to update these merchant information at any time?
But once the group develops an exclusive commodity management system based on the cargo management system of the ocean supply chain, the originally complex and cumbersome links will be delegated to the merchants.
It is a win-win situation for merchants to be upstream and display their information to downstream customers directly through the group-building commercial backend.
"When did the boss make these plans? I'm a little scared."
"I also suddenly understood why the boss was not in a hurry to go to the battlefield."
At the Kyoto Hilton Hotel, Susan and Lana Wei exchanged what they had learned in the past few days, and they were shocked in their hearts.
Yes, whether it is location services or product management systems, so far it is just an idea that stays at the conceptual level, but even a fool can know that when this idea is realized, it will simply drive you crazy.
Suixin Tuan copied the Tuan Tuan business model and dared to show off its power in the national market, but they must not have known that the Tuan Tuan they copied was just an initial version.
The boss has been suppressing the development of group play this year, and it is only now that his real fangs are exposed.
None of them could imagine how desperate those group buying websites like Suixin Group would be when group buying stepped onto the battlefield.
"There is too much information, why don't you report it?"
"Well, I should report it."
Lana Wei took out his mobile phone and dialed John Qin's number: "Hello, boss..."
But then, her eyes froze slightly: "Ah, it's the boss's wife. I miss you so much, boss's wife. It's a pity that we left in a hurry and didn't meet you."
"Yes, I'll report to my boss about my work."
"Oh, okay, then I'll wait a moment."
Susan glanced at Lana Wei: "What's wrong?"
Lana Wei lowered her voice: "The boss took the boss's wife out for a spring outing, and they are in the tree now."
"On the tree?"
"Well, the boss lady said she wanted to eat the jujubes from the tree, so the boss went up the tree." Lana Wei said and reached out to turn on the speakerphone.
At this moment, a whirring sound suddenly came from the opposite side, followed by a burst of ouch, and the world seemed to have stopped.
Lana Wei and Susan held their breath, not daring to take a breath, wondering if they would have a chance to eat.
But soon, John Qin's voice came from the receiver: "Lan Lan, what's wrong?"
"Boss, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I'm very proud and strong. I'm just a little bruised. If you have anything to do, just tell me."
Then Lana Wei and Susan talked about their observations and findings in the past few days, and then explained the concepts of merchant positioning and product management system.
John Qin fully affirmed what the two people had seen and told them to keep it strictly confidential and to come back immediately after the cooperation was negotiated. The same was true for Susan, who had figured out the system and returned to work quickly.
After hanging up the phone, John Qin raised his head and looked around, only to see mountains stretching as far as his eyes could see, which were extremely beautiful.
This is a hill next to the western suburbs. The scenery is very beautiful in the spring. Today he specially brought Nancy Feng out just to relax. If he hadn't fallen out of the tree just now, it would have been a perfect day.
But when he looked back at the little rich woman, he found that she was looking at John Qin's arm with tears in her eyes, and carefully covering his wound with one hand.
"Does it hurt?"
"It hurts. It makes you greedy. Do you still want to eat dates?"
Nancy Feng shook his head desperately, his eyes flashing with water: "I will never eat it again."
John Qin spread his hands and revealed a handful of small jujubes in his palm: "Unfortunately, I have already picked them."
"John Qin, you are a good person."
"Try one and tell me if I'm a good person."
Nancy Feng took the jujube and immediately spit out the pink tip of her tongue after eating one. It was obviously very sour.
John Qin laughed twice and thought to himself, who would know that when the smoke was everywhere in the group buying market and the war was gradually spreading, the final winner was still slowly climbing trees in the mountains, teasing his lovely friends, as if nothing was wrong. Just like people.
What is a pattern? Probably the pattern becomes calmer and calmer the more we fight.
"There were a lot of small spikes in that place just now. Did they prick your toes?"
Nancy Feng shook his head in confusion: "It didn't hit."
"Are you sure? Why not check it out, just in case?"
"?"
John Qin sternly untied the little rich woman's shoelaces, took off her sneakers, revealing a cute little foot wrapped in white cotton socks, with a serious expression like a doctor.
A big boss with a net worth of tens of millions doesn’t like golf, equestrian, or yachting, and that’s all he’s got.
While Lana Wei and Susan's work continued to deepen, the backbone of the marketing department selected by Tina Tan also went to major cities separately. In three days, they hired back people who had previously promoted Zhihu. A formal cooperation agreement was signed.
Then they hired a group of fighting coaches and led them for training every day.
The events include weight marching, grappling exercises, 1-on-1 fighting, and 1-on-N fighting.
The people who were recruited were also very puzzled, thinking that if they were to learn these things, they wouldn't have to fight in the future, right?
A one-on-one fight is fine. After all, a random punch can kill a master, but what about a one-on-one fight? Is this going to be a melee? Damn it.
You must know that their local promotion team in each city starts with at least ten people. In 1 vs. N, each person has N opponents, which is an 11N situation.
Is this a real fucking job?
But even though I have doubts, who can say it’s not fun if you can get paid just for exercising every day? So everyone is very energetic.
In this way, the training lasted for half a month, and the people in the ground pushing team made rapid progress. 1 vs. N is fake, but if you play against someone who has never practiced, 1 vs. 2 is probably not a big problem.
Moreover, many people have developed tendon muscles, their bodies are getting better and better, and their mental state has also become very high-spirited.
In late March, at six o'clock in the morning, it was only 12 degrees in Hang City at this time, and the morning breeze was quite cold. People at the Hangcheng branch were doing a five-kilometer weight-bearing exercise when they suddenly heard the sound of falling water while passing a bridge.
A group of thirteen people went over to take a look and found that a girl was trying to commit suicide. They immediately took off their weights and went into the water to save the girl. In the end, they were given a banner and even made the local news.
After John Qin learned about this incident, he called to express condolences and paid bonuses to the rescuers.
Everything is moving forward in an orderly manner. Although accidents occasionally happen, most of them are good things.
At the same time, the national group buying market is also constantly changing.
Sui Xin Tuan started to expand its business in Shanghai after the New Year. Now it has established a firm foothold and has begun to expand its business in Kyoto as Ye Ziqing planned.
It's just that at this moment, the group buying market is no longer just about Suixin Tuan and others showing off their power.
LaShou.com was launched in mid-March. Before Suixin Tuan could react, it directly occupied Kyoto as the target city and found Mr. Ge as its spokesperson, launching the banner of LaShou for group purchases.
Wowo.com then went online and established an online mall, signing up more than 100 merchants in Shanghai within three days.
Subsequently, more than 100 group buying websites such as 24Coupon, Gaopeng.com, Manzuo.com, First Group Buying, Discount Hui, Yiwo Tuan, Daily Goods, and Help You Save sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and there are still more. Continued Internet companies are on the road to building websites.
The era of group buying is here.
