The next day, Liu Edong and Gong Xiaojing paid a formal visit. They made a careful phone call in advance to make an appointment at 3 p.m.
The location is, of course, the Ziyuan Hotel.
"Hello, Boss Liu, Miss Gong."
Lu Fei invited them to the office and made it clear on the phone why they were here. It would definitely be a good thing if they could be published in the Policy Research Office's article. If they could be published in Internal Reference Magazine, the picture would be too beautiful to even think about.
As soon as Gong Xiaojing sat down, he took out a pen and paper and turned on the recorder, "Mr. Lu said that he would create 1 million jobs. His words were shocking. My colleagues have been discussing this possibility these days."
"Miss Gong, do you think it's possible or impossible?" Lu Fei said.
"Although I haven't met Mr. Lu very often, from what I heard from Haodong, I feel that Mr. Lu is not a person who talks freely."
Gong Xiaojing answered cleverly: "I would like to know how Mr. Lu plans to create these 1 million jobs?"
“To explain this clearly, we must first talk about Feigou.com.”
Lu Fei picked up the teapot and rinsed the cup, "Feigou.com currently has more than 30,000 merchants. According to our statistics, 80% of them are individuals opening stores, which means at least 24,000 people have started their own businesses by opening stores on Feigou.com.
20% are small and medium-sized enterprises. Improving their efficiency and driving their income growth will inevitably expand reproduction. Feigou.com also indirectly promotes the development of enterprises and the employment of workers."
He was pouring tea and talking.
"According to the current speed of merchants joining Feigou.com, in the next 10 years, the number of merchants will definitely exceed 900,000 to 1 million. In the future, we will not only serve individual entrepreneurs, but also small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as big brands and large enterprises.
One million jobs, I think is conservative."
"keep?"
Liu Edong looked confused: "What, how do you call it unconservative?"
“With the size of Huaxia, Feigou.com’s goal is to create 10 million jobs.”
"10 million?!"
Liu Edong and Gong Xiaojing looked at each other. This time, even they couldn't believe it, because this number was really shocking.
"You think it's impossible?"
Lu Fei spreads from Feigou.com to the entire e-commerce operation, involving upstream production, procurement, wholesale, and marketing, and also talking about downstream warehousing, logistics, finance, and customer service, combining direct employment and indirect employment.
A piece together.
"Are these, plus these, enough to create 10 million jobs?"
The e-commerce blueprint he outlined was grand and vast. Gong Xiaojing and Liu Yudong were like two primitive people who saw fire, their heads were confused, and they fell into a state of half-infatuation and half-foolishness.
"It seems, it seems enough." Gong Xiaojing's eyes widened.
"It doesn't seem like it's enough. If Feigou.com can really do what Mr. Lu said, it will be enough."
Liu Edong swallowed his saliva. What he said made sense, but he couldn't refute it.
Little did they know that Lu Fei's rhetoric was suspected of being a covert exchange of ideas.
E-commerce is creating jobs, but it is also eliminating jobs. The original profits from selling goods were distributed by millions of offline supermarkets, shops, and mobile vendors, but now they are just transferred to Internet malls.
That is to say, jobs are nothing more than rotating from offline to online. Like Lu Yun said that Ali Baba created 30 million jobs, which is pure nonsense!
But I can’t help but say it sounds nice. Whether it’s 1 million jobs or 10 million, these numbers are even more nice and moving!
Lu Fei knew very well that the words of capitalists were deceitful.
"But to do all this, you have to take risks, and even risk going to jail."
"Jail? Why did Mr. Lu say that?" Gong Xiaojing said.
"Because wealth pays treasure."
Lu Fei spread his hands and explained, "The credit system of China's Internet is not yet sound. Everyone has scruples when buying and selling things online. Buyers are afraid that sellers will not deliver the goods after receiving the money. Sellers are also afraid of buyers.
Not paying.
Caifubao was born to solve this problem. As long as the safety of funds is ensured and there is a third-party guarantee, transactions, payments, and settlements can proceed smoothly and efficiently."
"This is a good thing." Gong Xiaojing said.
Lu Feidao: "But e-commerce is an information platform, and there is no way to do transactions. To do transactions, you must have a banking license, but banks are unwilling to cooperate."
"It's contradictory." Liu Haodong said.
"That's right!"
Lu Fei waved his hand, "So I can't tell Caifubao's money in the bank. Feigou.com and Caifubao are walking a tightrope every day."
"What if someone really reports me?"
"I am prepared to be shattered to pieces. There are currently 10 to 20 million people in the country who are unemployed. Feigou.com can help more people get re-employed, so why not risk going to jail!"
Lu Fei put on an awe-inspiring look, saying, "We have to think about the country. If I don't take responsibility, who will take responsibility?"
"I told my deputy Xu Lei that if I have to go to jail, then I will go to jail and you will continue to do my job. If you go to jail, the third person in charge of our company will continue to do this job."
As he spoke, he stared at Liu Yidong closely, wishing he could recite a poem on the spot: To gain profit...how could it be because of...
"Mr. Lu is really serving the country and the people." Gong Xiaojing admired sincerely.
"Internet companies are also companies, and business owners should be patriotic."
Lu Fei said with a straight face, "Caifubao is the foundation of trust for Feigou.com. If there is no problem with Caifubao, if Feigou.com can develop steadily in 10 years, it will create 1 million jobs."
If not, you can hang up my street lamp at any time."
Chandelier?
Liu Edong blinked. Damn it, how could there be such a military order?
Lu Fei raised his lips, "Boss Liu should know by now that this is a pirate ship. I wonder if you are still willing to jump?"
"Mr. Lu, if I was a little hesitant before, now after talking like this, I have decided."
Liu Edong raised his tea cup: "Jump! There is a classic line in "Titanic", You Jump, I Jump!"
"Okay! You Jump, I Jump!"
Lu Fei clinked glasses, replaced the wine with tea, and then told Liu Hongdong's arrangements after joining the company. He was not in a hurry to arrange the vice president at the beginning. Although it was an SSS card, it was definitely not as good as the fierce and popular Brother Dong in his previous life. From his assistant
, that is, starting as an assistant to the general manager and working your way up step by step.
The business in charge is naturally the Feigou.com 3C digital direct-operated store owned by Jingdong Multimedia.
"Mr. Lu, I have a request."
Liu Edong touched the teacup and said, "I have closed all the physical stores in Zhongguancun. Can I keep the store name Jingdong Multimedia? This is my hard work for me and Xiaojing..."
"Of course you can keep it."
With a wave of his hand, Lu Fei not only retained Jingdong, but also changed the name of Feigou.com's b2c business to Jingdong Mall just like Taobao and Tmall.
Liu Edong couldn't help but be moved by such sincerity.
"Mr. Lu, give me half a month. I'll report in after I finish handling the people and things in Zhongguancun."
“Are all offline physical stores closed?”
"Yes, close them all and sublet all the counters."
Liu Edong said resolutely: "As for employees, Mr. Lu, these brothers under me are not here to do anything. The main thing is that they are easy to use and can be put to use. Can you let me bring a few over?"
"I never intended for you to be the polished commander."
The corner of Lu Fei's mouth turned up, "You pick people up slowly, and there is no need to close all offline counters. The 3C digital business also needs several strongholds in Zhongguancun. If you buy nearby, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
"Then keep one or two counters." Liu Edong agreed.
"Feigou.com will take over the counter and personnel in your hands. Counter fees, severance pay and other expenses will also be paid by Feigou.com, and you cannot be asked to pay."
Lu Fei asked Liu Edong to write a specific plan, which is equivalent to Liu Edong setting a price for himself. There is no doubt that this is trust and a test.
"Mr. Lu, thank you."
Liu Edong was full of gratitude. When he left the hotel, his steps were light and he felt like he was stepping on a green road. He kicked his legs and shot up.
"Congratulations, Mr. Liu." Gong Xiaojing teased.
Liu Edong smiled from ear to ear, "Hey, Xiaojing, let's go out to eat tonight and have a big dinner!"
"Not tonight, I have to go home."
"go home?"
"Well, I want to ask my dad for help!"
Gong Xiaojing explained: "Tell him about Feigou.com and let him talk to other uncles. I don't want to see you go to jail."
"I'm going to jail, right?" Liu Edong said in surprise.
"How is it impossible? You didn't notice the way Mr. Lu looked at you when he mentioned the third spot."
Gong Xiaojing smiled and held Liu Haodong's arm with both hands. "But, sometimes, risks and returns are directly proportional -"
If Feigou.com really develops to the extent that Lu Fei said, and Liu Edong can really secure the third position, there will be no reason for his parents to prevent them from getting married.
They will definitely support a company that creates 1 million jobs, and they will definitely match a company that creates 10 million jobs.
No matter what, she had to help Feigou.com, for Dongzi's sake, and for her own happiness!
