Chapter 1449: Disciple
Yule's plan is actually very simple, which is to set up a large fruit chain store.
Selling fruit is really just a small thing for Zhang Xiaobai now, but the important thing is the word chain, which can be big or small.
Multiple stores in a district are considered a chain, and multiple stores in a city are also considered a chain. What Youle means is to develop into a national chain store.
This scale is really not small.
Youle cited three convenient conditions.
First, Dafang Real Estate has been developing new properties, and you can book the store in advance, and the place is ready.
Secondly, Gao Feng has been doing charity work in the past few years. He often goes to remote mountainous areas to understand the situation there. The supply of goods is ready and the quality and quantity are guaranteed.
Third, Jiang Yingquan has been engaged in transportation for many years and is very familiar with logistics.
Because of the above three conveniences, this seemingly rare thing is relatively easy.
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "It's a bold idea for a fruit shop to let you do this! Now this industry has matured and involves the interests of too many people. It would be very difficult to do it like this."
Youle said: "It is precisely because the current market is so mature that it is not that difficult. No matter whose interests are involved, whoever can capture consumers will win!"
Gao Feng nodded and said, "Although I don't quite understand Yule's model, it is a good thing for fruit farmers."
"Master, you may not know much about it. In recent years, the price of fruits has been getting higher and higher, far exceeding the increase of meat and eggs. But even so, the life of fruit farmers is not easy!"
"This industry depends on the sky. When God loses his temper, the output will be greatly reduced or even the harvest will be eliminated. The hard work of more than half a year will be wasted. Even if the weather is good and the harvest is good, it still depends on the middlemen."
"In the end, the most profitable ones are the second-rate dealers, and the fruit farmers just make a hard-earned profit. It's like this day after day, year after year!"
Gao Feng sighed, thinking of too many stories in the mountains.
He agrees with Youle's idea. If you do this, it will be a good thing for fruit farmers, not only that you won't make money, but even if you make less money, don't be so evil.
They don't want much, they just earn a little money to support their families, send their children to school and support their elderly.
Zhang Xiaobai pondered for a moment and said: "The investment is too big, the investment is too big, and the risk is too big. Youle, your plan doesn't impress me!"
Zhang Xiaobai thought about it carefully and realized that although this plan was simple, it required too much effort.
To set up a company specifically, at least three groups of people are divided. One group is to contact the source of goods. The relationship with the peak is definitely not enough; the other group is to do logistics and needs cars and people. In short, it needs money; and there is a group of people to work in various stores. , it is inconvenient to manage them if they are scattered in various places.
The most important thing is that even if all these tasks are done well, there will be no profit, only what Yule calls traffic.
Although Zhang Xiaobai has been working in Internet companies for so many years, he still can't understand this kind of enterprise that relies solely on traffic to develop. Of course, there are indeed successful ones, but he doesn't dare to try.
Zhang Xiaobai believes in content more than traffic.
Glancing at Gao Feng, Zhang Xiaobai said: "Gao Feng, I'm sorry, I have always been a businessman and I will always put interests first when doing things."
Gao Feng said: "Master, I understand, it's just my imagination!"
In the past few years, the Hope Foundation has already spent the money left by Zhou Zhou. Although the public donated money, it was only a drop in the bucket because Gao Feng and Wang Changhu wanted to do too much.
Zhang Xiaobai continues to invest money in the Hope Foundation every year. How can there be such money without profits?
Youle said: "Master, don't rush to deny it. As long as the first half is successful, I guarantee there will be profits in the second half."
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Keep talking!"
The first half belongs to the physical world, and the second half belongs to the Internet.
Shopping apps came into being. If consumers want to buy fruits, they can only place orders on the app.
If there are so many physical stores and the fruits are sold so cheap, there will still be no one to buy them?
If someone buys fruit, someone will download the app.
Youle is still talking about traffic.
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "I still don't believe in traffic. I always feel that this kind of thing is an Internet bubble. Once the situation is bad, it will explode immediately! My good disciple, if the traffic is not working well, we have spent so much manpower, material and financial resources. It’s all in vain!”
Youle said solemnly: "Master, I think you are a little short-sighted and have no courage. This is not the you I have in mind!"
Wei Weifeng and Liao Kai were stunned at the same time. Among these four people, no one had ever dared to talk to Zhang Xiaobai like this and say something wrong about him!
Zhang Xiaobai was not angry, and said with a smile: "Actually, I have always been this kind of person. I have never been so courageous. I walked through it step by step!"
Dengfeng Steel, Treasure Chest Technology, and Brothers Travel, these three industries did not start suddenly, but developed slowly after a long period of research and thinking.
Youle asked: "Master, do you know Didi? Do you know Meituan? Do you know shared bicycles?"
Zhang Xiaobai said: "Nonsense, how can I not know this?"
Youle continued: "In the beginning, they didn't make any money, or even lost money, just for traffic. Why did those big venture capital companies continue to inject money into it? Are they stupid? Aren't they focused on traffic and prospects? "
Zhang Xiaobai hummed: "I understand this! Venture capital is invested in order to go public. After going public, you run away. Who cares about the life and death of others?"
You Le said: "One-sided! Subjective! Ignorant!"
The two people's discussion turned into a quarrel.
Gao Feng didn't dare to interrupt, and Liao Kai didn't dare to either!
Fortunately, there was still Wei Wei, so no one was afraid.
Wei Wei sneered: "Otherwise, you two fight, and whoever wins will listen to him!"
You Le lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said unhappily: "I dare not, Master's skills, five people like me can't beat him!"
Zhang Xiaobai never got angry, and didn't blame You Le for being rude at all. On the contrary, he was very pleased.
This disciple is indeed becoming more and more promising.
Zhang Xiaobai said: "Then tell me, how can a company that is not profitable or even losing money develop?"
You Le said: "Master, in fact, what is most lacking in today's society is not money. Venture capital companies have prepared a lot of money and are waiting to invest. What is lacking is good projects and good business models!"
"Sometimes you don't need anything else. A good idea is enough to create a company, such as shared bicycles!"
"I have been thinking about this plan for a long time. In fact, I can find investors, but I didn't. Such a good project is only interesting to work with you. Only with your affirmation can I be considered successful!"
"Master, I ask you to think about a question. If we firmly grasp the consumers, what kind of situation will it bring?"
Zhang Xiaobai thought for a long time, raised his thumb, and said: "My apprentice is good!"
