The big boss came to inspect, and everyone in Little Lanshu was nervous.
As the number of companies increases, it is impossible for Chen Dongcheng to maintain the same attention to every company. The focus depends on the value of these companies.
For companies with high valuations, such as Little Blue Book, Chen Dongcheng will put a lot of thought into it.
Like Shangdong Technology, Chen Dongcheng has not paid attention to it for a long time.
As a tool to protect the flow in the early stage, Shangdong Technology performed very well.
Without the support of Shangdong Technology in the early stage, Chen Dongcheng would have been restless and really thought that the bank's monitoring was a joke.
Even now, Chen Dongcheng doesn't dare to play too big.
Otherwise, the 20 million steps distributed by the game would be directly withdrawn to one billion.
Before each withdrawal, it is best to think of adequate cover methods.
From this point of view, the structure of overseas offshore companies simply does not need to be perfect.
This is also the reason why more and more Internet companies are playing with the vie architecture.
Xie Jingyu walked in front, and when Chen Dongcheng entered the company, all employees stood up and said hello.
Zeng Yiming and several supervisors also lined up to welcome the big boss for inspection.
In the conference room.
The management of Xiaolanshu sat together. Qu Ting, as the coo of Xiaolanshu, was responsible for explaining the current form of the cross-border e-commerce market to the big boss.
“Since the split of the e-commerce company, we still retain the diversion entrance to Blue Whale overseas shopping.
Not only does it continue to stabilize the closed business loop, but it also reduces Little Blue Book’s operating costs.”
Qu Ting switched ppt and compared the operating costs before and after the split. The biggest one was the subsidy for the e-commerce division.
“This year is called the first year of China’s cross-border e-commerce by many media. Currently, strong competitors such as Tmall Global, JD.com, and Yangquan have entered the cross-border e-commerce track.”
Qu Ting was somewhat thankful and said: "Fortunately, we split the e-commerce platform in advance, otherwise the huge losses will definitely affect the valuation of Xiaolanshu."
Zeng Yiming added with a smile: "In addition to the increase in competitors, our own development has not fallen behind.
As a sister company, Caocao Logistics has taken the lead in reaching cooperation with Sinotrans.
As far as I know, the price paid is not small. In addition, the bonded warehouse project in Ningbo was negotiated very smoothly.
The local government of Ningbo offered very favorable conditions to attract Caocao Logistics to settle down."
The decision for Cao Cao Logistics to settle in Ningbo was certainly not made by Zhou Shaohua alone.
Chen Dongcheng also feels that it is unrealistic for Cao Cao Logistics to develop in Shanghai.
It is difficult for the Shanghai government to pay too much attention to a capital-heavy logistics company with a valuation of less than one billion.
Second-tier cities like Ningbo may have greater demand for logistics companies.
Attracting investment is the most important achievement of every city government team.
In particular, capital-heavy investment models like Caocao Logistics are even more popular in cities of their level.
In the era of big logistics, fewer and fewer companies are willing to burn money.
Except for JD.com, which is still persisting, other companies are almost finished.
Without strong capital support, few companies can persist by relying solely on their own efforts to develop logistics.
Things like feelings are not suitable for logistics.
However, if you want to develop a good cross-border logistics platform, it is inevitable to build your own bonded warehouse. This is the core advantage that widens the gap with competitors.
Qu Ting switched to the next ppt page: "The next thing we should do most is to attract users. I think Director Chen has done a good job with keep before."
"keep?"
Qu Ting explained with a smile: "Dr. Chen used the lottery to increase the number of keep users so much.
I think we can learn from this method and it will definitely become a hot spot."
Chen Dongcheng suddenly realized that Qu Ting was talking about the Weibo lottery.
“Since we are organizing a lottery, don’t be petty and draw 100 lucky users from Xiaolanshu’s users.
The event lasts for a week, and I think Little Blue Book will be able to increase a large number of registered users."
"What about the event budget?"
"Every user who is drawn will be awarded 10,000 cash."
Qu Ting had seen Keep’s previous lottery plan, and there was no surprise: “Okay, I’ll contact the Weibo operation team right away.”
Now the number of registered users of Xiaolanshu has just exceeded 10 million.
This is still based on keep diversion and recommendations from the Apple App Store.
In addition to the Apple version, the Android version has also been developed and is available in major app stores.
At the end of the meeting, Zeng Yiming introduced the recently hired CTO to Chen Dongcheng.
"Director Chen, this is Zhang Ye. He graduated from Princeton University with a PhD in computer science. He has worked at Microsoft and IBM."
Character: Zhang Ye.
Skills: Algorithm expert (56%), English proficient (4%)
Evaluation: The CTO candidate that startup companies dream of has deep knowledge in the field of algorithms.
Chen Dongcheng shook hands with Zhang Ye enthusiastically: "The company is your home. If you have any questions, feel free to ask Mr. Zeng."
Talents who are proficient in algorithms are popular wherever they go.
They should be given options, but in short, they cannot be let go.
Zhang Ye was flattered and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Director Chen, for your concern."
"Well, then you guys are busy first, I'll go next door to take a look."
Chen Dongcheng patted Zhang Ye's shoulder with satisfaction, and Zeng Yiming sent Chen Dongcheng out.
Chen Dongcheng suddenly stopped and asked, "Is this Zhang Ye married?"
"Not yet, but don't worry, I have rented Zhang Ye a high-end apartment near the company, and also equipped him with an Audi A6."
Chen Dongcheng nodded: "Be eclectic when it comes to talents, and pay more attention to Zhang Ye's marriage.
The company has female employees of marriageable age who can help with matchmaking.
In short, Zhang Ye must not let him run away."
Zeng Yiming was a little surprised and nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I will definitely pay close attention to Zhang Ye's matter."
"The company has Qu Ting for daily management and Zhang Ye for technology. You just need to do a good job recruiting people."
Zeng Yiming said as he walked: "I have been in contact with headhunting companies recently, as our reputation is getting bigger and bigger.
Many talents have already sent in their resumes, and I have screened some of them.
We plan to select some elites and recruit them into the company."
Chen Dongcheng stopped at the door of Xiaolanshu and pointed at Cao Cao Suda next door.
"They will move out when the Magic City Center can officially move in."
Zeng Yiming smiled and shook his head: "When the company develops a few times, this floor of office building will not be enough. Maybe we will have to be neighbors."
Chen Dongcheng went to Cao Cao Suda to sit for a while and chatted with Lu Guangyu about the development of Cao Cao Suda.
Cao Cao Suda currently has nearly 400,000 delivery personnel.
This is still relying solely on word of mouth fermentation, and many idle people in society have taken the initiative to join.
At present, all second-tier cities across the country have been opened up, and Cao Cao's Suda funds have bottomed out again.
Lu Guangyu finished making tea for Chen Dongcheng and said with a wry smile: "Director Chen, the current handling of local promotion staff is a difficult problem. Should we continue to support them, or should we let them resign?"
In the early stage of promotion, Cao Cao Suda’s marketing department employees made great contributions to the establishment of the company.
But capital is inherently ruthless.
In the history of Magnesium Group, the last one of the 20,000-person local promotion team was outsourced.
There is no need to directly tell you that you are fired, as long as your bonus is reduced.
For several months, everyone understood what was going on.
Cao Cao Suda's local promotion team also fell into an embarrassing situation.
If Chen Dongcheng does not plan to continue investing money, he will develop into third- and fourth-tier cities.
Even if Lu Guangyu is still reluctant to give up, he will still have to make a decision to lay off a large part of the local promotion staff.
"If the market in first- and second-tier cities is stable, then we will continue to develop in third- and fourth-tier cities."
Lu Guangyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Since you intend to expand into third- and fourth-tier cities, I will let the iron army from the marketing department set off today, and I will personally take charge."
"The focus is on those businesses. Do you remember the plan I mentioned to you?"
Lu Guangyu's eyes were a little hot: "Director Chen said that we will launch the takeout platform at the right time."
"Now we are expanding Cao Cao Suda's cooperative merchants to prepare for the launch of the takeout platform."
Chen Dongcheng said with a smile: "Unlike first- and second-tier cities, consumers in third- and fourth-tier cities are more price-sensitive.
You can cooperate with some supermarkets and help them deliver goods.
Carry out some activities such as zero-yuan grabs, sink into third- and fourth-tier cities, and explore profit possibilities."
Lu Guangyu nodded: "I have also considered this before, except for the merchants we cooperate with.
Hungry? has helped us a lot. Basically, the merchants Hungry.me cooperates with in first- and second-tier cities are all under our control.”
Are you hungry? The most core resource is definitely the merchants that the platform cooperates with.
Who made Chen Dongcheng pretend to be harmless and voluntarily hand over the voting rights to Zhang Xuhao?
In addition, Cao Cao Suda was only responsible for delivery, so Zhang Xuhao didn't pay much attention.
Once Cao Cao Suda completes its layout in third- and fourth-tier cities, it will control all the merchants it cooperates with.
It is not easy to instigate these businesses.
As long as they are willing to subsidize and spend money, these merchants will just change their appearance and continue to accept orders on another platform.
"Only you and Mr. Zhou know about this matter. Let the three of them fight to the death first."
Chen Dongcheng just transferred the last US$40 million into their account a few days ago.
It not only reassured Zhang Xuhao, but also paved the way for Cao Cao to continue to cooperate with Su Da and Hungry?
The two platforms are now doing well for each other and are cooperating with each other, which puts a lot of pressure on the magnesium group next door.
Magnesium Tuan has taken too big a step forward. It is true that Magnesium Tuan has received more funds than Hungry?
But I can’t stand it anymore. I am focusing on the firepower, regardless of distribution, only responsible for subsidies.
Cao Cao Suda is responsible for distribution in first and second tier cities.
In third- and fourth-tier cities, merchants rely on their own delivery and have a hard time competing with Magnesium Group.
In 2014, for all Internet companies.
The most lively ones are definitely the money-burning battles between Didi, Kuaidi and Uber, as well as Magnesium Tuan and Hungry?
This year, it’s free to take a taxi and free to order takeout. Chinese people really live a long life.
Lu Guangyu drank tea and asked curiously: "Dr. Chen, who do you personally like more?"
"I?"
Chen Dongcheng did not hesitate: "I am optimistic about Wang Xing because he is ruthless and cunning enough."
"King Xing?"
Lu Guangyu nodded: "I have met Wang Xing several times, and it is indeed in line with your evaluation. I also feel that it is difficult for Gan Jiawei to die well in the magnesium group."
"Gan Jiawei will be ignored sooner or later. Wang Xing only trusts his old classmates and relatives."
Lu Guangyu suddenly suggested: "If Gan Jiawei is dismissed from the Magnesium Group, how about we poach Gan Jiawei?"
Chen Dongcheng was stunned and asked: "Why do you have such an idea?"
“Gan Jiawei has rich experience in business management, and adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when needed.
As the importance of the local promotion team to the magnesium group decreases, the day when Gan Jiawei will be marginalized should not be too far away.
When the time comes, we will dig Gan Jiawei over and let Wang Xing have a taste of the counterattack of his expelled subordinates."
As long as Chen Dongcheng is not short of funds, he will never need to worry about losing control of the company.
Just like Wang Xing has been able to firmly control the magnesium group by relying on financing, why does Chen Dongcheng not dare to reuse Gan Jiawei?
Because Gan Jiawei has Ahri's background, it would be unwise to choose to give up on this talent.
Chen Dongcheng asked Lu Guangyu with great interest: "Aren't you afraid that Gan Jiawei will come and take away your rights?"
"No, Jiawei and I feel sympathy for each other.
I had bad luck before, Jiawei just didn't find a good master, so the cunning rabbit died and the lackey was cooked."
Lu Guangyu smiled calmly and said: "And I am also confident."
Chen Dongcheng nodded: "When Caocao Logistics develops for a period of time, I plan to let Shaohua serve as the CEO of Caocao Logistics.
The position of CEO of Cao Cao Suda is left to you. Before the takeout platform goes online, try to recruit Gan Jiawei."
Lu Guangyu was not surprised. He had noticed something from Chen Dongcheng's transfer before.
Zhou Shaohua also knew very well, so he has been busy negotiating with the Ningbo government about the bonded warehouse.
Caocao Logistics has developed well, and it is not necessarily worse than Caocao Express, which specializes in instant delivery.
Chen Dongcheng is quite interesting to think about, Cao Cao Logistics, Cao Cao Express, Cao Cao Takeout.
I really got into trouble with Cao Cao.
"Dong dong dong."
Lu Guangyu looked at the door: "Come in."
Dai Yufei walked into the office holding the documents.
He nodded to Chen Dongcheng and handed the documents to Lu Guangyu.
"This is a document sent by Mr. Zhou and needs to be reviewed by Mr. Lu personally."
Lu Guangyu took the document, read it for a while and asked, "Mr. Zhou plans to sign bonded warehouse investment agreements in six cities at once?"
"Yes, because the amount of investment involved is too large, Mr. Zhou heard that Director Chen came to the company and wanted to ask Director Chen's opinion."
After Dai Yufei finished her report, she quietly waited for the reply and quietly observed Chen Dongcheng.
Lu Guangyu looked at Chen Dongcheng: "Dr. Chen, what is your opinion?"
"Except for Ningbo, the bonded warehouse area in other cities should not be too large."
When Lu Guangyu heard what Chen Dongcheng said, he knew that Zhou Shaohua's application was approved: "You should reply to Mr. Zhou according to the original words."
"OK."
Dai Yufei turned around neatly and walked out of the office.
Chen Dongcheng waited for Dai Yufei to leave and asked, "How is she?"
"Yufei is willing to endure hardships and is careful in doing things. He is very popular with me."
Lu Guangyu gave Chen Dongcheng an example: "I heard Guo Yu talk about a small conflict between Yu Fei and several female employees in the company.
Even though Yu Fei got promoted, she didn't bother them.
This kind of mind is worthy of my admiration."
Chen Dongcheng nodded and didn't take it too seriously.
"I will transfer another 100 million to Cao Cao's Suda account. You can just develop the third and fourth tier cities with peace of mind. Make preparations in advance and wait for the right time."
Lu Guangyu smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, I will definitely win over all the merchants that I'm hungry for."
