What does nine dollars and seven mean?

For ordinary people, it is just a bowl of noodles, and they may not even be able to afford the starting price of a taxi in a big city.

Perhaps because he thought this number was a bit embarrassing, Chen Ou himself on the other end of the phone couldn't help laughing.

"It is indeed a profit of nine yuan, which is the net profit after deducting a series of expenses such as procurement costs, personnel wages, taxes, etc."

Lu Heng smiled and listened quietly to Chen Ou's explanation.

He was not like those investors who were eager for quick success and quick profit, who suddenly changed their color when he heard about this profit. Instead, he felt relaxed.

To him, ninety-seven dollars was not just a simple low number, but also meant that the path Chen Ou was taking now was indeed feasible.

After only the first month of transformation, we got rid of the previous loss situation, which is already an amazing breakthrough.

You know, the one million Lu Heng invested in Chen Ou made a loss of 700,000 in three months. Now he has just transformed and got rid of the loss.

This is why both Chen Ou and Lu Heng can laugh.

I earn less now because I have just entered this industry and I am still exploring everything.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Yes, if you continue, as the business becomes more proficient and the scale grows, I believe Jumei Youpin will definitely make more money!"

Opposite me, Chen Ou also breathed a long sigh of relief and said in a slightly relaxed tone:

"Yeah! I really didn't expect that I could make money in the first month. I thought that as long as I didn't lose too much, it would be within my acceptable range. After all, it had just been transformed. In order to open up the situation, the company now uses agents

They buy out cosmetics from merchants, store them in warehouses, and sell them in the form of limited-time group purchases. The price is 40% lower than that of specialty stores, and there is no profit in itself."

Lu Heng has not intervened in the current development model of Jumei Youpin, so he is not sure about the specific situation.

Hearing Chen Ou talk about it at this time, he couldn't help but nodded.

"It's good. Although the initial profits are not high, you may even be unable to make ends meet. But when it comes to Internet e-commerce, word of mouth is the most important. If you build a good reputation for high quality and low price, no matter what projects you plan in the future, there will be consumers.

Pay the bill."

"Well, that's what I think too. Not only do we make group purchases of cosmetics at low prices, but we also want to make them as authentic as possible. This will make it easier to build a reputation. And female consumers are the easiest and fastest way to cultivate a reputation."

Lu Heng smiled and said: "Then I'll wait and see. I hope that next time you call me, it won't be a single-digit profit."

Hearing Lu Heng's teasing, Chen Ou over there couldn't help but blush.

Anyone reporting profits to investors will not be single-digit profits.

Originally, the management of Jumei Youpin did not plan to tell Lu Heng about last month's profit. After all, it was too little and it would be embarrassing to tell him. However, Chen Ou decided to tell Lu Heng.

He felt that the company's initial profit might not be important to Lu Heng. After all, this man had a very long-term vision and he probably wouldn't care if the initial profit was small.

I took the initiative to tell him because I wanted to take credit.

You invest in me, and I go from losing money to not losing money, and even make a few dollars. Then the next step is to make more money. You are not wrong about the person!

Chen Ou looked serious and said with a slight hesitation: "If I take the initiative to call you next time, I may not tell you how much money I made, but I will ask you for more money."

Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly and couldn't help but laugh.

"Then I'm really looking forward to when you ask me for money!"

What does it mean when Chen Ou takes the initiative to ask for money?

It's very simple. As the company expands, it needs more funds to expand its business. At that time, it means that Jumei Youpin has embarked on the road of making huge profits.

"By the way, what are you going to do next?"

While Lu Heng was looking forward to it, he asked cautiously.

He didn't want this young returnee to get carried away in the face of a small success and then make mistakes.

After all, the Chinese market is very different from the overseas market that Chen Ou was familiar with before.

"I'm thinking about one thing now, and that is to consider completely stopping the game business that I'm still taking care of. Director Lu, do you have any opinions?"

After hearing Chen Ou's words, Lu Heng thought about it.

Chen Ou's team was engaged in the game business from the beginning, but continued losses forced Chen Ou to transform.

But the people in that team are still there, and even after screening out a large number of people, the remaining people still have a wavering attitude.

This is exactly the case, so now Chen Ou's team is operating both the game business and the cosmetics group buying business, and they are also looking forward to the game business finding a way out.

The representative figure among them is Chen Ou's junior brother Dai Yusen.

Lu Heng said softly: "You shouldn't ask me about this. You should talk to your junior brother. He is an indispensable top talent in the company. The reason why he agreed to your transformation in the first place was to retain the bottom line of the game business.

I just agreed. If you still want him to go with you, then you have to discuss with him whether to shut down the game business completely."

Chen Ou looked stern and realized his problem.

Now that the entire team has been streamlined, every talent is an important cornerstone, especially Dai Yusen, whose importance is second only to himself.

If I shut down the game business without discussing it with him, it would most likely lead to his departure.

When I think about it like this, my mind suddenly becomes enlightened.

"Okay, I understand, but I still have to thank you for your advice."

Lu Heng smiled slightly and didn't say anything more on this topic. After chatting about some topics related to Jumei Premium, he hung up the phone on his own initiative.

Chen Ou put away his cell phone, loosened his tie, and his eyes flashed.

Then he turned around and entered an office next door, where the familiar Dai Yusen was dealing with things on the computer.

Seeing Chen Ou come in, he was confused for a moment, then looked at Chen Ou's hesitant expression and smiled bitterly.

"Yusen, you?"

"I can probably guess your reason for coming. Do you want to shut down the game business?"

Chen Ou was surprised, "How did you guess that?"

Dai Yusen wiped his face, "I have guessed this day since the transformation to Jumei Youpin. But when I made money last month, I knew that this day would come relatively quickly."

"Then what do you say?" Chen Ou looked at his junior brother anxiously.

Dai Yusen grinned bitterly, and it was really heartbreaking to ask him to take the initiative to shut down the game business.

However, now that the overall focus of the team has shifted, continuing to persevere is just in vain.

Sighing, Dai Yusen stood up and came to Chen Ou.

"Let's have a meeting and let the brothers chat together. At least it will be a sign of respect for our first entrepreneurial project."

Chen Ou's face lit up with joy, he slapped Dai Yusen hard, turned around and prepared to recruit everyone for a meeting.

But when he just walked to the door, Dai Yusen asked suddenly.

"Did Lu Heng ask you to do this?"

Chen Ou looked at him puzzled, then immediately shook his head: "No, no, this matter is my idea. On the contrary, Director Lu asked me to ask for your opinion."

"That's right!"

Dai Yusen looked lonely. After all, he had underestimated the man's magnanimity.

Chen Ou glanced at him in confusion, turned around and went out happily without asking any more questions.
