On the way back, the words Qin Hao said when he let go of her lingered in Wang Ying's mind.
"If one of me or Yang Cheng were to fall, whose side would you side with?"
Until Wang Ying returned to the dormitory, there was still no answer to this question.
After seeing the childish side of Yang Cheng in the police station, Wang Ying finally wanted to understand that her feelings for Yang Cheng these years were not that she liked him, but that she was used to his presence. Only in this way could she explain why Yang Cheng
Even though she had so many girlfriends, she was not angry or jealous, but every time she saw Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi together, she would feel inexplicably irritated.
"Miss, what are you doing? Where were you just now? You answered a phone call and disappeared."
Xu Lin's sudden appearance startled Wang Ying.
"No, it's nothing. I have something to deal with." A trace of panic flashed in Wang Ying's eyes.
Xu Lin wanted to continue questioning, but Xie Qiao opened the dormitory door and came back.
"Have you eaten? I brought you pancakes."
"Give me one." Xu Lin took it and took a big bite: "Why are Qin Chuan and Dalong still practicing stalls in front of the school? Didn't they get investment from Lao Qin and say they want to rent a stall in the school cafeteria?"
Xie Qiao sighed: "Don't mention it, I originally said it well, but it turned out that I was stuck at the logistics department, saying that I wouldn't rent that stall to Qin Chuan."
"Why is this like this? Haven't you already obtained Qinchuan's business license and so on?"
Xu Lin suddenly remembered something while chewing the pancakes. He turned to look at Wang Ying: "Miss, you should have something to do about this. How about you help Qin Chuan so that we can eat delicious food in school in the future?"
Pancakes are ready.”
"Ah? Oh, I'll call and ask."
Wang Ying was still in a state of sleepwalking, so she agreed without paying attention.
"Okay, let Qin Chuan go to the logistics office to sign the contract tomorrow."
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin were stunned. Is this the power of the eldest lady? It can be done with just a phone call.
Sure enough, when Qin Chuan went to the logistics office the next day, his attitude towards him completely changed 180 degrees. He was so polite that he even had to pay three months less deposit.
.......
Compared with Xie Qiao and their leisurely college life, Qin Hao is much busier. The e-commerce platform will be launched next month, and he needs to make decisions on a lot of things.
As Wang Ying said, they encountered a lot of trouble in purchasing. The Yang family still has considerable influence in the Beijing business district. Many dealers of well-known brands have therefore rejected Tesco's group purchase plan.
On the one hand, it is due to pressure from the Yang family, and on the other hand, because e-commerce is still an emerging industry in China and no one has tried it before, these dealers are also holding on to their money and waiting.
At first, according to Qin Hao's idea, next month's group buying activity would focus on electronic products, but the dealers refused to cooperate. After thinking about it again and again, Qin Hao decided to change his mind.
Although electronic products are well-known and very attractive to college students, the unit price is too high. An MP3 player costs one or two hundred yuan, let alone mobile phones and digital cameras that often cost thousands of yuan.
Therefore, Qin Hao focused his purchasing on snacks, daily necessities, and books.
These products have low unit prices and high purchase frequency. They are also used by students in their daily life and study needs, and can mobilize the enthusiasm of college students to the greatest extent.
For Qin Hao, making money through group buying is actually secondary, and cultivating college students' consumption habits is the most important.
Millions of these college students graduate and enter society every year, and they will be the main consumer group for online shopping in the next twenty years.
Users are the most valuable wealth of Internet companies.
Time flies, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and it is March 2002 before I know it.
The four seasons in the north are relatively distinct, and the weather has just started to warm up in March.
On the Beiqing campus, students are finally able to take off their heavy winter clothes and sweep away the dullness of winter.
On this day, some students from Beiqing suddenly discovered that a store called "Yigou" suddenly appeared in the school.
From the outside, it looks like a supermarket, because there are display cabinets and shelves inside, but there are too few goods inside, right? There seems to be only one or two of each product.
And the products inside don’t seem to be that complete.
"Hey, could this be an Internet cafe? There are so many computers set up."
That's right, the most conspicuous thing in "Yigou" is the computers placed on both sides. Curious students will ask the waiter after entering.
“How much does it cost to surf the Internet here for an hour?”
"Hello, we are not an Internet cafe here."
"It's not an Internet cafe? Then why do you get so many computers? Are these computers just decorations?"
"Sir, these computers can be used, but for now you can only log in to our internal website."
The student lost interest as soon as he heard this: "You can only log in to the intranet, so what's the point? I don't want to play for free."
"Sir, our internal website is different from other internal websites. We are a group buying website."
"Group buying? What do you mean?"
"You can place an order for the products we display here on our website. The prices are generally 30% off the market price, and some products can even be 30% off."
"Is it really that cheap? It can't be fake, right?"
"You can rest assured that we can open a store directly on the Qingbei campus. It has been strictly reviewed by the school and a huge deposit has been paid. Once you buy a fake product from us, you will be compensated 10% for every fake product."
"Are you sure you'll pay ten if you fake it?"
"Of course, this promise is written directly on our e-commerce homepage."
The students were doubtful and began to browse the website under the guidance of the waiter, and found that the products there were indeed much cheaper than the supermarket prices.
"The products on the shelves and display cabinets are our physical samples, so you don't have to worry about the goods being wrong."
Hearing what the waiter said, many students were moved.
"Give me two packs of this country bumpkin's chicken legs, and two buckets of instant noodles..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I'll buy some toilet paper, shampoo, and a box of soap."
At this time, the waiter said with a smile: "You can register an e-commerce account directly, and then place an order directly on the website. After the payment is successful, you can come to our store to pick up the goods tomorrow."
After hearing this, some students hesitated and said: "After paying the price, I won't get the goods until tomorrow. What if you don't deliver the goods after receiving the money?"
"You don't have to worry about this at all. Our e-commerce store was able to open its store in Beiqing because it must have been strictly reviewed by the school and a huge deposit was paid. You can confirm this with the school."
"As for why we can only get the goods tomorrow, the reason is very simple. Why are our products on Tesco so much cheaper than outside? Because we adopt a group purchasing model, and only when everyone's orders are gathered together can we negotiate with the manufacturer.
Negotiate to keep the price as low as possible.”
The IQ of those who can pass the exam in Beiqing is definitely not low. Once you hear it, you will understand what this group purchase is about. This novel shopping method has aroused the interest of many Beiqing students.
"Why don't we buy something cheap to try the water first?"
"Well, that makes sense. I'll buy a few bottles of Coke first. If I can get the goods tomorrow, I'll buy something else next time."
Soon, the empty space in front of the computers on both sides was filled with students queuing up to register and place orders.
And as some students called to inform their roommates, classmates, and fellow villagers, there was already a long queue at the door just one hour after the trial opening of E-commerce.
Upon seeing this, Qin Hao sent someone to distribute small cards at the door with the website address of Tesco printed on them, so that students could place orders directly through the Internet.
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin heard from Xiao Qianxi that E-commerce was opening today, and they came to join in the fun out of curiosity. However, they waited in line for half an hour and didn't get in.
"Xie Qiao, tell me what kind of brain Lao Qin has and how he can come up with so many weird ways to make money."
Xu Lin was completely convinced, and Xie Qiao nodded in agreement: "Last year, Lao Qin said that we should see the name of Haoran Technology in the newspaper at the end of the year. I thought he was bragging, but I didn't expect that he was really awesome. Next time Lao Qin
If he told us to see him on CCTV, I would believe him."
"It should be said, Qian Ximing is really good. She found such a good boyfriend just after entering college. If she reaches the legal age, I will drag Lao Qin to get the certificate immediately, and she can comfortably be a young mistress at home for the rest of her life.
"
"Look at your potential, why don't you say that Lao Qin is lucky to have such a beautiful and considerate girlfriend like Qian Xi."
Just as Xu Lin and Xie Qiao were bickering, they finally squeezed in.
"Wow, Xie Qiao, look at this instant noodle supermarket for 4 yuan, but here it's only 2.8 yuan, and this Rejoice shampoo is more than 2 yuan cheaper than outside..."
Women are naturally shopaholics, especially those who are irresistible to all kinds of cheap products. Xu Lin and Xie Qiao are no exception. If they didn't have enough living expenses in their pockets, they would probably buy all the products.
When I finished placing the order and paying, I realized that I had bought so many things.
"Damn it, I'm definitely going to overspend on living expenses this month, what should I do?"
"We have no choice but to cut back on food and clothing. Alas, it's all Lao Qin's fault for taking money out of our pockets in every possible way."
Qin Hao who was at the door sneezed inexplicably. Xiao Qianxi asked with concern: "Did you catch a cold last night?"
"It's okay, maybe I worked too hard last night."
Seeing Qin Hao's evil smile, Xiao Qianxi said angrily: "There are so many people, no one is serious."
It happened that Xie Qiao and Xu Lin came out of the Tesco store at this time.
"Qian Xi, Xie Qiao and I have had our living expenses paid out by your family, Lao Qin, this month. You have to be responsible for our meals." Xu Lin teased.
Xie Qiao also spoke up: "Isn't that right? The living allowance I just received this month has disappeared in the blink of an eye before I even warmed it up."
"Okay, I'll cover the meals for you two this month, but you have to go back to the company with me later and write an experience report."
"Ah? I still need to write a report."
"For this month's food expenses, just write."
Originally, Tesco planned to close at nine o'clock in the evening, but as a result, students were still placing orders in the store until half past ten, so the waiters had no choice but to work overtime until eleven o'clock, before dragging their exhausted bodies to get off work.
On the other side, the 12th floor of Beiqing Resource Building is brightly lit.
Liu Qiangdong stared at the screen in front of him. Although the numbers on it had not jumped for more than ten minutes, he still maintained this posture.
"Brother Dong, the sales volume should be almost this. You won't see much growth if you just look at it."
Facing Qin Hao's teasing, Liu Qiangdong said seriously: "Brother Qin, are you sure you don't want to be the logistics company you mentioned last time?"
"I don't have that much time to do this. The e-commerce business alone is enough trouble." Qin Hao said lightly.
"Okay, let's talk in detail when I get back to learn more about the logistics industry."
The reason why Liu Qiangdong was tempted was not how much money he made from today's group purchase, but because he saw the huge prospects of e-commerce.
Just in Beiqing, there are so many people shopping online. What if the entire capital city, or even the whole country?
Liu Qiangdong couldn't even imagine what a huge market it would be. Just imagine that there are 1.2 billion people in the country. Even if each person only spends one yuan on online shopping, that would be a turnover of 1.2 billion.
Just thinking about it makes Liu Qiangdong excited.
While the two were talking, the time had already reached 0:00 in the morning.
Half an hour later, the financial manager came to Qin Hao excitedly.
"Boss, do you know what our sales are today?"
"How many?"
"A total of 176,800."
Xiao Qianxi on the side was full of joy: "So many?"
If this amount were placed ten years later, it would naturally not be worth mentioning. The daily sales of a better online store would be more than this, but this was early 2002, when most people could not afford computers.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Moreover, on the first day of Tesco's opening, the reputation has not yet spread, and many students have the mentality of giving it a try, and the purchases are relatively cheap.
For a product, it is already quite good to achieve such results.
Qin Hao's expression was relatively calm. What he really valued were the number of registered users, the number of orders, and the average unit price.
Today, more than 4,800 people registered e-commerce accounts, and most of them were registered through external IPs, indicating that "small cards" are still necessary.
"Everyone has had a hard day today. Let's go back and rest first. Tomorrow will be the real test."
The order has been placed, but the user has not yet received the product. This can only be regarded as the first step towards success.
Early the next morning, Qin Hao didn't care about being gentle with Xiao Qianxi, so he came to the Yiguo store on the Beiqing campus to take charge of the situation.
"Hey, Master Han, have you set off? Okay, please pay attention to safety on the road."
"Store manager Liu, the staff should be in place before eight o'clock. You can confirm again at seven thirty. If not, I will temporarily find some part-time workers to help."
At 7:40, the large truck slowly reversed and the employees began to unload the goods in an orderly manner.
At eight o'clock, Tesco officially opened for business, and at the same time, some early students came to pick up the goods.
Subcontracting according to the order was already done at the warehouse last night. When students come, they only need to report the last six digits of their mobile phone number when registering to get the goods they ordered yesterday.
"Well, this Coke tastes right, it's not fake."
"This bread is okay too, it's just like the one you buy in the supermarket."
As the first batch of students who got their orders returned, Tesco became completely popular in the Beiqing campus circle.
