Chapter 624 Simplify

The city manager conference was held on Wednesday, and managers from various cities flew to Linchuan.

With 500 million yuan in hand, Ele.Bu is making a lot of noise in the market, and the momentum is fierce. These city managers feel the most directly. They originally thought that the topic this time was to deal with Ele.Bu, but after arriving, they found that the topic was to promote the group-buying supply chain.

The afternoon sun was gentle, and the east wind blew into the group-buying headquarters, sweeping across the green ivy on the windowsill, shaking it gently.

The intern girl from the group-buying logistics department came in gracefully and poured water for the managers sitting there one by one. In the conference room, Jiang Qin's voice kept ringing.

"Each platform has its own style and rhythm, but we cannot let our competitors follow their rhythm."

"Remember, the purpose of doing business is not to be brave and aggressive, but to keep calm, start from money, and make enough profits."

"The group buying supply chain has been well established in first- and second-tier cities. We continue to sink into cities, and at the same time try to sign merchants into our supply chain based on the region as a whole."

"When we did group buying before, we maintained a good relationship with merchants in various business districts. Let's use them as representatives to establish a supply side for takeout."

"Uncle Ma's 500 million is very fragrant. I want to know how much I can get."

Jiang Qin's expression was indifferent, but his eyes were bright, as if he smelled the fragrance of money.

Wei Lanlan and Dong Wenhao looked at him from the side, thinking that the boss was no longer acting. In the past, he would consider it lost if he didn't pick up money when he went out, but now he wants other people's investment.

After the meeting, sub-stations across the country started to move. The kings of ground promotion began to appear in the streets and alleys, using WeChat as a base to establish supply groups and include merchants who need food supply.

Every ground promoter is now a merchant manager.

Jiang Qin also has KPI requirements for them, asking them to try their best to ensure that there are enough merchants joining within the scope of their business.

At the same time, Jinye Toutiao also accurately pushed supply chain advertisements to some groups defined by algorithms as "catering practitioners" on local news channels in various regions.

In the era of takeaway, small stores have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, but because of their small size, it is difficult to find a supply channel with good quality and low price. The opening of supply chain contracts by group buying is like a sweet rain after a drought.

In the following period of time, trucks with group buying supply chains kept speeding, entering designated locations, and delivering ingredients to stores through the back door.

Perfect ingredients only need simple cooking, and then they are handed over to riders from the front door by merchants, either yellow or blue.

After the contract reached a certain scale and a complete supply network was formed in first- and second-tier cities, group buying takeaway took action.

Discounts, money burning!

The advertisements for group takeout were once again spread online and offline, as if they were afraid that others would not see them.

It's bad, he's going to burn money!

Ele.bu immediately took the lead and started to organize subsidy activities.

There was no way, they had just gained an advantage after getting the investment, and the rhythm they had finally driven could not be interrupted here.

During the entire discount process, Jiang Qin didn't care much about how much the group takeout business grew, but the profit of the group supply chain soared and the business volume increased rapidly.

Ali injected funds into Ele.bu, and Ele.bu did not issue merchant subsidies. The number of orders increased sharply due to market stimulation, merchants increased their purchasing scale, and the group supply chain tried to swallow up the orders.

To simplify, Ali injected funds into the group supply chain.

As the supervisor of Kyoto, Ye Ziqing had to supervise the completion of KPIs every day and check the business volume of each sector.

At this moment, she deeply felt the words that Tan Qing told her when she was doing group buying in Shanghai before.

[Group buying is just a platform]

No matter how big the platform is, it can only eat up the commissions of the merchants under its control, as if putting all the eggs in the same basket.

But even if group buying does not take these commissions, it will still have enough profit points.

At this time, the transportation pressure of Hengtong Freight began to increase dramatically, and the current transportation capacity has reached its limit.

"Boss, Mr. Cao called and said that they have acquired a logistics company and a seafood supply company, and the funds are a bit tight."

"Invest another sum of money, and let Xu Yu handle this matter."

"Then will the previous activities still be carried out?"

"Yes, keep burning, and draw out Uncle Ma's 500 million. I believe that when this money is burned to the end, it should be able to burn a larger supply network for us."

"Understood."

The booming development of the e-commerce industry has made the logistics industry stronger as a whole, and Shunfeng, Santong, and various logistics companies are getting stronger and stronger.

Hengtong Freight does not have the scale of these companies yet, but its profitability is three times that of Shunfeng. This is mainly because e-commerce logistics is too competitive and the unit price cannot be raised. If it wants to improve profitability, it can only continue to expand its scale.

However, as the only designated partner of the group purchase supply chain, Hengtong Freight certainly does not have such concerns, and with the continued development of Internet business, this gap will become larger and larger.

Young Master Cao is a freak. He does not have the disease of the rich second generation, but he really has the fate of the rich second generation...

In the afternoon, Wen Jinrui ran to the school with Wei Lanlan's investment contract and asked Jiang Qin to sign it.

Young Master Cao stood next to him, holding a grilled sausage in his mouth, and tiptoed with a loser temperament.

After the thesis defense, his life was to go to the laboratory to find Ding Xue, play games, or wander around, wantonly and unrestrained.

He just came back from the laboratory, his lips were red, and he was attracted by the contract in Jiang Qin's hand after entering the door.

"What is this?"

"Uncle is going to invest money in your family again."

Young Master Cao looked at the string of zeros in the contract and felt dizzy: "Old Jiang, I'll tell you the truth, Hengtong Freight will definitely be taken over by me in the future, why don't we skip the steps in the middle and give me the money directly!"

Jiang Qin raised his mouth: "I give you so much money, will you be touched?"

"I can be moved to tremble!" Young Master Cao began to tremble as he spoke.

Jiang Qin hummed: "Then will you treat me to a meal?"

"I'll treat you to a full banquet."

"In that case, let's skip the step of giving money, Old Cao, treat me to a meal."

Cao Guangyu held his breath, immediately showed an expression of "sorry to bother you", and quietly left.

At this time, Jiang Qin signed the contract and gave it to Wen Jinrui. At the same time, the company's payday had arrived, and there was a salary slip that needed his approval.

Logically speaking, the issue of salary payment is the task of the finance department, and the boss does not need to ask about it. However, there is an employee whose salary slip needs to be approved by the boss personally every time. This employee who enjoys the treatment that even the 208 startup employees cannot enjoy is Hui Huizi, who loves to eat sugar.

Three hours later, Hui Huizi looked at the salary slip she received and fell into deep thought.

"Why is it gone again? What did I do?!"

Gao Wenhui took out her mobile phone in a rage and called Jiang Qin: "Jiang Qin, why is my salary zero again this month!"

Jiang Qin's mobile phone came with a dog barking: "You know it in your heart!"

"????"

Gao Wenhui was dumbfounded. You have been writing papers and having meetings recently, and I haven't seen you at all.

Thinking of this, Hui Huizi turned her head to the right. Near the glass window, Feng Nanshu was sitting there looking at her mobile phone.

She wore a white short-sleeved shirt and washed denim shorts today, and her soft long hair was tied into a ponytail. She had an innocent and lively temperament.

Gao Wenhui walked over and glanced at her mobile phone screen.

Feng Nanshu was watching the news about Jiang Qin, and then saved all the good-looking pictures on her phone.

Seeing Gao Wenhui coming over, she couldn't help but raise her little face and show a dazed expression.

"Jiang Qin has deducted all my salary again. Although I don't know what I did, I believe you must have a bonus to give me."

Feng Nanshu narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then reached out to open his bag and took out his small wallet: "Don't tell my brother."

Gao Wenhui's face was wrinkled together: "I don't even know what happened, you let me knock it down a bit."

"I don't know either."

Feng Nanshu bluffed her little face, because she had too many unfriended hearts, and she couldn't figure out where she was exposed.

Gao Wenhui nodded after listening, okay, okay, you two are crazy about testing the edge of unfriended all day long, I don't know anything, but my sense of participation is so strong.

At this moment, the speaker placed at the front desk suddenly sounded, reminding him that there was a new group takeaway order, and she was asked to deal with it in time.

She went over to take the order and found that Pintuan had offered a 40% discount on top of the original discount.

Ordinary people don't know what this discount on top of the discount means, but it has undoubtedly brought the entire competition in the food delivery market to a white-hot stage.

"Is Pintuan still following?"

"Not only are they following, they have also started to offer discounts on top of discounts. In addition to food delivery, their daily specials are also offering discounts all day long."

Zhang Xuhao felt a little numb after hearing this.

Pintuan is the one who doesn't like to burn money, but this time it seems to be determined to fight him to the end.

Although Ele.buy has received more funds, he still feels scared to throw hundreds of millions into the market every day.

The entire Internet business circle is also watching this scene, and feels numb about the two companies' burning.

To be honest, the amount of money burned in the food delivery war has been equal to the group purchase war so far.

The circle is discussing this matter all day long, and there are a lot of discussions about Jiang Qin's sudden increase in investment. Some people say that Pintuan food delivery should take advantage of this time to completely seize all market share.

But some people were puzzled, thinking that Tencent and Alibaba were behind Ele. No matter how rich he was, could he be as rich as these two big companies?

Half a month after the money-burning war, the president of Jingdong received a report from Jingdong Logistics and immediately forwarded it.

In the process of burning money on the food delivery platform, Hengtong Freight acquired three logistics companies and built five warehouses with integrated warehousing and rough processing capabilities, and is currently undergoing digital transformation.

"Their goal is not Ele. They hope to expand their logistics line with a huge order volume!"

The president of Shunfeng couldn't help but jump out: "Group buying supply chain has always been one of the largest profitable projects of the entire group buying. After this period of expansion, his current profitability may have caught up with Shunfeng."
