" Director Li, there are two more. Please have a glass of water. The place is simple and there are no tea leaves. There is only water. Please don't mind..." Seeing that the employee named Xiao Liu had already brought the water, Da Qiangzi said with some embarrassment.
"You're welcome." Li Ze smiled.”
"By the way, how should I address you?”
Although Li Ze already knew from his son's voice that the other party was called Big Hadron, the other party did not introduce himself just now. Li Ze did not want to expose himself, so he deliberately asked.
Hearing this, Big Hadron slapped his forehead and said,""Look at me, I forgot to introduce myself to you. My name is Big Hadron. You can just call me Big Hadron.”
"I opened this shop with my girlfriend.”
Li Ze nodded.
At this moment, his son's voice rang in his mind again.
Da Qiangzi's current girlfriend should still be his first love, Gong Xiaojing. Before he was reborn, he read some information on the Internet that Da Qiangzi was quite affectionate towards his first love.
Unfortunately, his first love's family didn't seem to like him. Later, his first love entered the system again and broke up with him.
Otherwise, Milk Tea Girl and Big Hadron wouldn't have said that they didn't know their wives were beautiful…
Hearing his son's thoughts, Li Ze couldn't help but glance at Da Qiangzi.
Don't you know your wife is beautiful?
What the hell…
Li Ze didn't think too much about it, nor did he care about what his son said about Da Qiangzi breaking up with his girlfriend. He just smiled and said,""I didn't expect you to be a mom and pop shop!”
Da Qiangzi smiled shyly and said,""You can say that. My girlfriend has helped me a lot.”
At this time, Da Qiangzi looked at Li Ze again. He wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he couldn't hold it in and asked,"Director Li, as a senior in the business world, what do you think of the chain store I mentioned just now?”
After a pause, Da Qiangzi said," My idea is based on the current model of Gome, but the scale is much smaller."”
"Moreover, I am not very optimistic about the future of the market model of Zhongguancun Computer City. I think the future direction of IT products should be the chain store model.”
"We can establish a standardized system and sell products on a large scale. As long as we control the inventory and supply chain, such a model can be replicated directly across the country…"
After saying that, Da Qiangzi looked at Li Ze with a fervent gaze, as if he was hoping to hear a positive answer from him, so that he would be firm in his idea of opening a national chain store.
Li Ze muttered to himself.
He had no idea what Da Qiangzi was talking about.
Today's Gome was not yet well-known throughout the country. It was basically available in all the larger cities.
Gome was still in the early stages of expansion, so it was normal for Li Ze not to understand.
Li Ze wasn't sure, but Li Dong knew quite a bit about Gome, Gou Dong, and Da Qiangzi.
While Li Ze was deep in thought, he heard his son's inner voice again.
Gome? Gome is indeed quite awesome. I remember that Old Huang of Gome seemed to have become the richest man in the country? However, he was later imprisoned, and Gome also began to decline and was overtaken by Su Ning...
Moreover, Da Qiangzi's chain store seemed to have been quite successful before he started Goudong Mall. However, after the virus crisis in 2003, he was forced to start selling goods online.
But even in 2004, 90% of Gou Dong's profits came from the chain stores. However, at that time, the orders on Goudong seemed to have increased tremendously. The monthly compound increase seemed to have exceeded 25%.
Da Qiangzi was also very good. Under such circumstances, he resolutely cut off the chain stores that accounted for 90% of the profits and concentrated all his resources on developing the online e-commerce business. Step by step, he built up Goudong Mall...
The information revealed by his son's voice surprised Li Ze.
The boss of Gome was once the richest man in the country?
Moreover, Da Qiangzi's idea of opening a chain store was indeed feasible!
Li Ze, who was deep in thought, heard his son's thoughts and immediately knew how to tell Da Qiangzi. He looked up at Da Qiangzi and smiled."Actually, I don't know much about the model of Gome that you mentioned.”
"However, based on my understanding of the current domestic market situation, especially through the number of domestic netizens in the past two years, the demand for computers and related peripheral products, there will definitely be a market for chain stores.”
Da Qiangzi's eyes lit up when he heard that." So, Chairman Li, you're also optimistic about the chain store model?”
Li Ze smiled." Just as I said, the market demand is there. As long as we can do all the details, there will definitely be prospects."”
"I wonder how much money you have available to expand the number of chain stores?”
"You have to know that there are definitely more than one or two people who can see the market needs. If you don't expand fast enough, the market will definitely be occupied by other competitors.”
"At that time, what scale can you expand the entire chain store to?”
"This…"
Big Hadron opened his mouth. He didn't have much money at the moment.
Opening a national chain store was only a medium-to-long-term idea. For now, he could only open one more branch store.
After some thought, Da Qiangzi looked at Li Ze and asked,""Director Li, you must have some ideas. I wonder if it's convenient for you to give me some pointers?”
Da Qiangzi wasn't stupid. Since Li Ze had told him all this, it was obvious that he had something on his mind. It was just that he hadn't finished speaking.
Li Ze smiled and said,"Qiangzi, do you know about the e-commerce that is quite popular in the Internet industry now?" For example, 8848, Ali, Zhuoyue…these e-commerce platforms.”
Da Qiangzi was at a loss when he heard Li Ze mention these e-commerce platforms.
He really had not come into contact with and understood much about e-commerce.
To some extent, he could even be considered half-internet illiterate.
Li Ze didn't care about his reaction and continued,""Actually, I've considered putting Zerun Technology's two MP3 players on these e-commerce platforms to try.”
"However, considering this, we have to set up another department to be responsible for the sales on the e-commerce platform.”
"Another thing is that the price of these two MP3 players is relatively high. There might not be too many consumers who can buy them online. I estimate that the sales won't be high in the short term.”
" So I temporarily dismissed this idea…"
"I think you can try selling goods online.”
"With the current growth rate of the number of netizens and computers in the country, as well as the development speed of the entire Internet industry, I'm actually very optimistic about the prospects of e-commerce and the entire Internet industry.”
Hearing Li Ze's words, Da Qiangzi frowned and fell into deep thought.
Li Dong looked at Li Ze in surprise.
His father was quite amazing. He actually thought of selling two MP3 players from Zerun Technology online so early on.
It seemed that his father's vision was quite deep and far-sighted. Moreover, was his father encouraging Da Qiangzi to start an e-commerce business? Also, why would his father think of telling Da Qiangzi about this? It was their first time meeting.
Could it be that his father really had the ability to recognize people? He had only been in contact with Da Qiangzi for a short while, and he could tell that Da Qiangzi was a talent in e-commerce?
Li Dong was quite surprised and puzzled.
Li Ze heard these thoughts and laughed in his heart. He was secretly happy.
Looking at Big Hadron deep in thought, Li Ze continued,""Qiangzi, you can use Gome's development as a reference to establish a standardized, large-scale chain store model that can be directly replicated in the country. It can be seen that you are a person who dares to think and do things.”
"Then, why not try the e-commerce field?”
" In fact, this doesn't even conflict with the chain store that you want to build. You can start with your feet and then adjust according to the situation, or you can directly choose a path to focus on!”
"Besides, how much money do you need to prepare to open a chain store? How long do you need to prepare to open it?”
"From one store to ten stores, or even a hundred stores, to sell the products all over the country, how long will this process take?”
"On the other hand, e-commerce can directly sell to all users across the country without the cost of the store. I'm sure you can understand the difference.”
At this point, Li Ze paused for a moment and continued,"Of course, with the current situation of the e-commerce market, there might not be too many orders for online sales in the short term, but the future development potential and prospects are undoubtedly very broad.”
"You can understand this by looking at the current scale of the major domestic e-commerce platforms. What did those venture capital institutions do? If it was really an industry with no prospects, would those venture capital institutions invest a lot of money into this field?”
"Besides, do you know about Amazon and Facebook in America? Foreign countries had already proven that e-commerce could be successful.”
Hearing Li Ze's words, Da Qiangzi took a deep breath and looked up at Li Ze.""Thank you for your guidance, Chairman Li. I really don't know much about e-commerce before.”
"However, after hearing what you said, I feel that it is indeed necessary to understand.”
"Maybe I can really try to do e-commerce and sell goods online.”
"Haha…"
Li Ze smiled." Actually, I've also considered using Amazon's model as a reference. I'll be a self-operated e-commerce platform with third-party operations as a supplement."”
"It's just that one person's energy is limited, and it's time-consuming and laborious to build a free warehouse and logistics distribution system.”
"That's why I didn't take action.”
Li Ze did not continue.
After hearing this, Da Qiangzi was deep in thought.
Then, Big Hadron asked Li Ze some questions.
Li Ze did not hesitate to share some of his views with him.
After chatting for more than half an hour, Li Ze finally prepared to leave.
However, before he left, Li Ze said to Da Qiangzi,""Qiang Zi, after chatting with you for so long, I think highly of you.”
"From the questions you asked just now, I can tell that you are a very thoughtful person. If you ever need to invest, be it in a chain store or an e-commerce business, you can come to me.”
"My contact number is on the business card I gave you just now. I'm quite happy to be your angel investor. It just so happens that I have an investment company under my name.”
Hearing this, Big Hadron was both grateful and excited.
After all, in his opinion, Li Ze was undoubtedly a 'big shot' level figure. To be able to value him so much, he was not stingy with giving pointers just now, so he would more or less be a little excited.
"Alright!" Thank you, Director Li. If I really decide what I want to do and need to invest, I'll definitely visit you personally!”
"Yes."
Li Ze nodded and smiled.""Alright, then I'll be leaving first."
"Okay, Director Li, I'll send you off..."
Da Qiangzi sent Li Ze out of the shop. After seeing him off, he let out a long breath and looked away.
Then, he took out the business card Li Ze gave him from his pocket and looked at it. He muttered to himself,"It seems like I really need to learn more about the internet and e-commerce!”
" Perhaps, this is really a way out…"
While Da Qiangzi was talking to himself, the shop assistant called Xiao Liu couldn't help but come over.
"Boss, do you really plan to try selling goods online and become an e-commerce company?”
Xiao Liu asked curiously.
He had more or less overheard the conversation between Li Ze and Da Qiangzi.
Da Qiangzi raised his head and looked at Xiao Liu, saying,""Why don't we give it a try? In any case, it was just a matter of getting two computers and a network cable. If there were really orders, it meant that selling goods online was indeed feasible.”
Xiao Liu nodded and did not ask any more questions.
Big Hadron was also a man of action.
Not long after Li Ze left, he immediately began to learn about e-commerce on the Internet. He even went to take a look at the few largest e-commerce platforms.
Just like how he had been attracted by Gome's model some time ago, he had become obsessed with Gome, disguised as a customer, and kept asking for all kinds of details.
After coming into contact with the Internet and the e-commerce model, he was also quickly attracted.
However, Da Qiangzi didn't consider building his own platform at first. Instead, he asked the employees in the store to work with him. As long as there were no customers in the store, they would use the computer to advertise on the Internet.
He kept posting on the hardware forum and even registered hundreds of QQ accounts. He added friends like crazy and promoted products.
In the beginning, after struggling for more than ten days, Big Hadron only managed to make a dozen orders.
This made him somewhat discouraged.
However, he did not give up.
Firstly, since someone like Li Ze was optimistic about the future of e-commerce, there was no reason for him to give up just because of the initial setback.
Secondly, he only used his free time to post when there were no customers in the shop, adding friends on QQ to promote the shop.
It would not affect the business of the shop.
He would continue to do it and try more. There would be no loss. Even if the orders were small, one more order would earn him more money.
With Da Qiangzi's perseverance, the orders began to increase gradually after more than half a month.
In fact, he had even received seven or eight orders a day at most!
This was probably due to the fact that the users who bought the products from him in the early stages passed it on to others by word of mouth.
After all, the products he sold online were about 5% cheaper than those sold in offline stores. Although it wasn't much cheaper, it was only compared to the price in his own shop.
Nowadays, in most parts of the country, the prices of computer external devices and other accessories were not transparent.
The prices in many places were much higher than that of Da Qiangzi's shop in Zhongguancun Yinfeng Building. Therefore, for many users, the prices of the products sold by Big Hadron online were very attractive.
Because of the increase in online orders, Big Hadron became more confident.
He decided to continue doing it for a while and see what the situation was like. If the order volume could still continue to increase rapidly, then it was not impossible to focus on online sales.
Of course, this was all for later.
On the 7th of October, Li Ze left the capital with his son, Li Dong, and his cousin, Jiang Yuxuan, and returned to Shanghai.
The National Day holiday was over.
Before he left the capital, Li Ze had Shen Qianru contact the person in charge of Legend of Mir 2's promotion in the capital and asked him to help him keep an eye on the renovation of the courtyard house next to the Forbidden City.
As for the details of the renovation and renovation, Li Ze had specially found a renovation design company in the capital before returning to Shanghai and asked them to come up with a renovation plan.
He didn't give any suggestions himself. He just told his son to tell the designer of the renovation company how to renovate and renovate the place and let the other party come up with a plan according to the requirements.
As for the rest, Li Ze did not need to ask.
He only needed to wait for the renovation to be done before he took the time to come over and take a look…
After returning to his home in Shanghai, Li Ze drove Jiang Yuxuan to school.
What surprised Jiang Yuxuan was that she was immediately surrounded by her roommates the moment she entered the dormitory.
"Yu Xuan, Yu Xuan, what does your family do? Who was the person who sent you here just now? You actually drove a Mercedes-Benz S600! I have an uncle who also has this car. I heard from him that it costs almost two million yuan!”
"Wow, that car actually costs two million!？？”
"Yuxuan, is your family so rich?”
……
Jiang Yuxuan only understood what was going on after hearing her roommates chattering.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Hence, he explained," That's my cousin. I heard from my nephew that the car was worth about two million yuan!”
"As for my family…they're just an ordinary village family.”
"I see…But, Yuxuan, what does your cousin do? How can he afford such a luxury car?”
Jiang Yuxuan's roommate was curious.
Coincidentally, Zhang Xinlan had just entered the dormitory and heard her roommate's question. She said,""Yuxuan's cousin is the boss of Legend Games and Zerun Technology!”
Jiang Yuxuan's roommates were shocked when they heard that.
"Yuxuan, your cousin is the boss of Legend Games and Zerun Technology? This was too amazing. No wonder he was so rich to be able to afford a luxury car that cost two million!”
They looked at Jiang Yuxuan with envious expressions.
It was impossible for them not to have heard of Legend Games and Zerun Technology.
Although Li Ze was only Jiang Yuxuan's cousin, with such a powerful cousin protecting him, there was no need to talk about his future.
At this moment, someone asked Zhang Xinlan curiously," Oh right, Xinlan, how did you know that Yuxuan's cousin is the boss of Legend Games and Zerun Technology?”
Zhang Xinlan smiled and said," That day, I went down with Yuxuan. My cousin happened to come to pick me up and bumped into Yuxuan's cousin. My cousin told me about it."”
"My cousin works in Yuxuan's cousin's company. Yuxuan's cousin is my cousin's boss!”
"I see…"
The few of them suddenly understood.
