After 2008, there were not many real ways to make big money.
The structures of the two worlds are somewhat different, but generally the development trends are the same.
In the next ten years, when talking about making money, people will generally not leave real estate, the Internet, smartphones and their derivative industries.
Fang Ping is not qualified to do real estate, and it is not realistic.
He can't even speculate in real estate now, and Fang Ping only has 1.6 million in funds on hand.
In a world with warriors, it is more difficult to get involved in an industry like real estate, and Fang Ping is not qualified yet.
Mobile phone manufacturing was not Fang Ping's business. At this time, smartphones had already appeared and others were producing them, so Fang Ping could not enter.
The Internet is relatively simple, and the requirements for entry into the industry are lower.
As for the issue of restrictions on warriors, since it is located in a magical city, it is insignificant if non-martialists do not cross the city.
Moreover, Fang Ping now enjoys the treatment of a first-grade warrior, and there are no restrictions in this regard. As for crossing provinces of fourth-grade and above, it is too early for Fang Ping now.
But the Internet has a certain amount of technical content, and it’s not something you can just do if you want to.
In terms of online shopping, although Ali is not very well-known nowadays, its scale is actually quite large, and Lao Ma is even rumored to have broken through to the seventh level.
Nowadays, if you do online shopping, it is a dead end. It is still very difficult to grow big.
Of course, you can find another way to do brand online shopping similar to Vipshop.
However, for Fang Ping, this is not advisable. He does not have that kind of channel. Brand agency is very complicated and cannot be solved in a short time.
Others such as Internet finance, social software, online games, search engines, online videos...
Without exception, it does not apply to the current Fang Ping.
Fang Ping actually thought about what to do next for a long time. After being reborn, he started making plans.
Recalling the tycoons who became prosperous after 2008 in his previous life, Fang Ping found that there were very few tycoons who really rose to prominence after 2008. Among them, the more famous ones were the two who were engaged in online takeout and catering.
Whether it is Ele.me or Meituan, the founders of these two companies only started doing business after 2008.
At the beginning, these two people had little capital and started almost from scratch.
In just a few years, a large amount of wealth has been accumulated...of course, in a more literal sense.
In addition to online ordering platforms, another industry that has emerged since 2008 and has low technical content and is not difficult to get started is the express delivery industry.
The express delivery industry is actually closely related to online catering platforms. The rise of the express delivery industry is inseparable from the development of online shopping business.
Now that Ali's person is still dormant, Fang Ping knows that soon, Ali's online shopping platform will make waves in this country.
Fang Ping has not thought about punching big and small horses at present, he is afraid of being beaten to death by the grandmaster.
But he still understands the truth of taking advantage of the situation and following in the footsteps of the big shots.
In the future wealth list, in addition to the two fields of real estate and the Internet, the richest people on the list will also be among the best in the express logistics field.
Especially e-commerce logistics!
At this time, there were many express delivery companies in Modu, but most of these companies still focused on ordinary express delivery, while logistics companies mainly focused on bulk transportation.
No one really focuses on e-commerce!
Fang Ping has been thinking about it for a long time, and e-commerce logistics and catering platforms are his first choices.
The requirements for entering the industry are not high. You don’t need to spread out all at once. You can develop dormantly in the magic city first. When the conditions are right, you can deploy it nationwide at any time.
Express delivery and catering do not have to exist independently, they can complement each other.
It can also be run as a real business, including the catering platform, which can be run as a real economy without having to spread the stall too big at one time.
First, set up a few express delivery points, recruit some couriers, and build a simpler localized fast food ordering platform.
These costs are not too big, and Fang Ping can still sustain it.
If possible, you can talk to Ahri at the Magic City office about undertaking e-commerce express delivery, but this is not possible for the time being.
At present, Fang Ping is not a warrior and his social status is not high enough. If he comes to discuss cooperation, others may not pay attention to him.
But when he becomes a martial artist, pretends to be a martial arts student in the Magic City, and approaches him to proactively cooperate, the other party will probably not care about having another courier cooperation company.
Currently, major express logistics companies have relatively strong cooperation with Ali.
After all, the proportion of e-commerce business is very small, and everyone tends to ignore it, but this situation will change soon.
Fang Ping had to take advantage of the opportunity for other companies to adjust their focus and reach a cooperation with Ahri, becoming their important partner in the Magic City.
…
Once he had a direction, Fang Ping did not hesitate.
The next day, Fang Ping borrowed the hotel's car and drove out of the hotel by himself without letting the other party drive.
Although he didn't have a driver's license, Fang Ping wasn't worried.
He told Li Chengze that he did not have a driver's license, but Li Chengze told him that he had been caught and just showed his Fang Ping martial arts certificate.
Although a martial arts certificate cannot replace a driver's license, as long as there is no accident, you will not be embarrassed.
Of course, if something goes wrong, it will be Fang Ping's full responsibility.
Having a martial arts certificate has such benefits. Fang Ping, who considers himself an experienced driver, will naturally not let others drive and drive out by himself.
…
Fang Ping’s first choice location is the university town.
As one of the 6 districts of Magic City, University Town has a large population and is close to the school, making it convenient for Fang Ping to do things.
Although the university town is headed by the magical city of Wuhan University, Wuhan university students are in the minority after all. In the entire university town, there are more ordinary students.
This is also Fang Ping’s target group.
Ordering fast food and shopping online are things that college students are most likely to accept. White-collar workers and college students are also the two types of people with the strongest ability to accept new things.
What's more, online shopping has been developing for several years and is no longer a new thing.
In big cities like Shanghai, many students have already started online shopping business.
In a small city like Yangcheng, doing this kind of business for Fang Ping would be almost like courting death, but in the Magic City, doing this is the most appropriate thing.
…
There are a total of 64 universities of various sizes in the university town!
There are full-time martial arts schools like Shanghai Wuhan University, East China Normal University and Jiaotong University in Shanghai, which offer martial arts departments, and there are also pure liberal arts universities.
General liberal arts universities have the largest population. There can be 20,000 to 30,000 students in the fourth class. Including teachers, family members, and employees, a university of 40,000 to 50,000 people is normal.
There are few like Wuhan University in the magical capital, which has nearly ten thousand people.
The concentration of 64 universities together means that the total number of teachers and students in the university town is close to 2 million, which is comparable to the total population of a prefecture-level city.
This is still a school. Because of the concentration of schools, other spin-off industries have inevitably been born here, and the business atmosphere is also very developed.
There are not too many high-end commercial places because students are not the main consumers.
But there are countless ordinary commercial stores.
According to statistics, the entire university town has a total population of more than 4.8 million!
This is ten times that of Yangcheng!
A university town with nearly 5 million people gathered. For Fang Ping, there is no place more suitable for doing business.
…
On August 1st, Fang Ping drove around the university town.
I also have a simple understanding of the distribution of various universities.
If we look at the university town as a whole, Magic City Wuhan University is located in the south of the university town, close to the coast. In fact, Magic City Wuhan University covers an area of 30,000 acres. You can really see the sea inside, but Fang Ping doesn't know about it at the moment.
There are more than ten universities located near Wuhan University in the magical capital, most of which are liberal arts universities. Wuhan University is generally located far away from each other, which may be mutually exclusive.
There are more than 300,000 students and teachers' families in more than ten universities.
It's near Wuhan University, the magical capital, and it's even more convenient for Fangping.
Due to limited funds, Fang Ping was not prepared to capture the University City at once. He would start from the southern part of the University City and slowly encroach.
"Rent a slightly larger office to set up a catering platform and use it as a temporary headquarters.
There are more than a dozen universities and they are widely distributed. To complete the coverage, at least 5 distribution points must be configured, and one distribution point is responsible for the business of 3 schools.
In terms of recruitment, one distribution point is responsible for three schools, and the standard staff is at least 10 people."
"One office, five distribution points, 50 courier employees... maybe it can be reduced appropriately. Isn't 50 people a bit too much?"
In the car, Fang Ping was thinking about the next work while driving in search of a suitable location.
The consumption level in Shanghai is very high, and wages are also not low.
In Yangcheng, you can recruit people for 800 yuan.
In Shanghai, even at this time, there are not many people doing low-level jobs, if the salary is less than 3,000.
Even if calculated based on 3,000, the courier salary alone is 150,000 a month.
In addition, there are customer service, receptionists, technicians needed to build the platform, post-operation personnel, and the marketing department responsible for developing the market...
The early stage is simple, and other finance, supervision, products, research and development, logistics, and manpower are not required.
But it was scattered, and Fang Ping thought it would take at least 20 people to set up the stage.
At first, Ele.me was able to work with just a few people, but the other party was only running a trial operation in a school.
In addition, Fang Ping himself does not want to spend too much energy on this, so he can only recruit more people to meet his needs.
The average salary of these 20 people must be 5,000.
The salary expenses alone cost more than 250,000 yuan a month.
In fact, wages are not a big part. In the pure IT industry, employee wages account for a large proportion. What Fang Ping wants to do is not a pure IT industry, and wage expenses can only be counted as about 40% of the cost.
In other words, he has to spend more than 600,000 a month.
And it will be more in the early stage. After all, the rent is rarely paid monthly, and the first quarter payment is short, plus the deposit.
Maybe in a month, the 1.6 million he has on hand will be used up.
In the early days, it was difficult to make much money from these businesses. After all, the business had not been taken on. The market needed to be developed, and all the previous work was invested.
"How about joining a courier company?"
Fang Ping thought for a while. If he joined, he could quickly open up the market and take on business.
In addition to spending an extra amount in the franchise fee, the funds will flow back faster.
But if you join, it will be difficult to build your own reputation. Fang Ping doesn't want to keep working for others.
"No matter what, let's choose a location first, decide on the location, and start recruiting people. In addition, I also need someone smart enough to take charge of the company in my absence."
Others are easy to find. The Demon City lacks everything but people.
If you go to the job market, you can find as many people as you want.
But those who have the ability to take charge of the situation depend on luck. If he is unlucky, Fang Ping can only find someone who is more reliable and spend more energy on management.
At the end of the day, Fang Ping also looked around the southern part of the university town several times.
The location of the distribution point and office has been roughly determined, and then the next step is to wait for the official start of construction.
"Complete the preliminary preparation work within one month, start publicity as soon as school starts, and make money back as soon as possible.
I don’t know if 1.6 million is enough, and I don’t know if I can get some loan..."
In the evening, Fang Ping returned to the hotel, practiced his routine, and then began to make plans and design recruitment advertisements.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but Fang Ping is not afraid of hard work. Success does not come easily.
He didn't want to be like Lao Wang, who had to come to Wuhan University to cause trouble and run around doing tasks for so few resources.
The task can be done, but running around here and there for a hundred or two hundred thousand actually wastes time.
This is still the beginning. Once the level of martial arts is high, the consumption will be even greater.
At that time, could simply doing tasks satisfy one's own needs?
Today’s masters don’t have a lot of social resources at their disposal.
Martial arts strength depends not only on talent, but also on other abilities, such as the ability to make money...
If you can't make money, then go work for the government, but the government doesn't need simple thugs.
The governors of various places are not only strong in strength, but also have extremely strong management capabilities.
Being able to manage a province well is the reason why they obtain resources. People like Jin Keming lacked this ability and were almost beaten.
Martial arts never exist alone.
People want to eat, drink and poop, especially warriors!
Advancing hand in hand is the foundation for warriors to become stronger and stronger.
"Lao Wang will probably work in the government in the future, right?"
Fang Ping had this thought in his mind. He had no such plan, so he was running his own business now.
There are too many official restrictions and are not suitable for people like Fang Ping.
