Chapter 503
After signing the agreement, the logistics and warehousing center in Yizhou quickly held a groundbreaking ceremony.
The ceremony was very grand. All the leaders of the city attended and delivered an important speech in front of the camera lens, expressing their desire to respond to the national call and vigorously develop e-commerce.
E-commerce is currently a popular emerging industry, belonging to the field of high-tech in the Internet, and is combined with offline entities, which is very important for economic development.
On June 25, 2007, the country issued the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan for the Development of E-commerce", identifying the e-commerce service industry as an important emerging industry in the country.
The document proposes that e-commerce is a new type of networked economic activity, which is developing rapidly at an unprecedented speed. It has become an effective means for major developed countries to enhance their economic competitiveness and win the advantages of global resource allocation.
The 11th Five-Year Plan is a strategic opportunity period for my country to develop e-commerce. Seizing opportunities and accelerating the development of e-commerce is an objective requirement and inevitable choice for implementing the scientific outlook on development, driving industrialization with informatization, promoting informatization with industrialization, and taking the path of new industrialization.
The development of e-commerce has been taken seriously. Alibaba, a domestic e-commerce business developer, has been established for 7 years and is preparing to go public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
After Alibaba went public, its market value once reached HK$199.6 billion, making it the second Internet company after Sentinel Technology to have a market value of more than US$20 billion.
At the same time, Sina's market value is US$2.683 billion, Sohu's market value is US$1.454 billion, and NetEase's market value is US$2.113 billion. The total market value of the three major portals is less than US$10 billion.
A new giant pattern represented by Sentinel Technology, Penguin, Baidu and Alibaba is being formed to replace the three major portals.
Since this year, the main line of China's Internet development has shifted from entertainment to business, and a number of business-oriented Internet companies are gradually developing.
Beijingdong Mall released the "10 billion construction plan" at this point in time. While catching up with the trend of the times, it also cleverly caught up with the help of national policies.
Otherwise, the logistics and warehousing center of Jingdong Mall would not be so valued by local governments, which is a big investment in the field of e-commerce.
Alibaba is going to raise HK$11.6 billion on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at this time, which is about the same scale as the 10 billion plan of Jingdong Mall.
The "Beijing Dong Mall", which was not famous before, is gradually entering everyone's sight, forming a pattern of one south and one north with Alibaba, and is known as the two major e-commerce giants in the Internet.
The construction of the e-commerce warehousing center in Yizhou started very quickly, and the construction team kept rushing to work day and night.
After all, Qin Shaoyan's investment is real money, which is different from those investors who make money by nothing.
Some investors often have short checks, or only invest in the first amount of funds, and then find a loan to local banks on the excuse that the capital turnover is not working.
Sometimes these loans will be used to continue investing locally, and sometimes they will be transferred directly to other places.
This situation is common in attracting investment.
In contrast, Qin Shaoyan is a very high-quality investor and will never be a fool.
While the warehousing and logistics center is under construction, Qin Shaoyan also asked local administrative agencies to help recruit workers.
The recruitment targets are given priority to workers below the post, low-income families, and veterans. The leaders were very happy with this requirement and agreed readily.
Liu Qiangdong was very supportive of Qin Shaoyan's request, because this would gain favor from the government and would invisibly receive a lot of preferential treatment.
After all, it can guarantee employment and help the government solve the income difficulties of grassroots people.
Under the care of the city's leaders, the logistics and warehousing center has become a key project in the city and is given priority.
…
The tower crane dozens of meters high waved its steel arms and drew a smooth arc over the construction site.
The group of orange and yellow excavators is like crawling mechanical beasts, with buckets gnawing on the land, and the surging earth waves burst out from time to time with the sonorous collision between bluestone and steel bars.
The concrete pump truck is continuously injecting mortar into the growing building skeleton, and the welding flowers splashing in the steel jungle fall like star rain.
Hundreds of workers wearing hard hats, shuttled between mechanical beasts and steel jungles, like busy worker bees.
Looking at the spectacular construction site, Qin Shaoyan sighed, "This picture is so beautiful."
Liu Qiangdong looked at the vast construction site at a glance, and his heart was filled with passion, "This is the starting point of the rise of Jingdong Mall."
"This is the cornerstone of e-commerce." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "At this construction speed, it can be put into use within one year."
"Eight months." Liu Qiangdong gestured, "Secretary Zhang said it would be available in eight months." "It's fine if you can use it." Qin Shaoyan suddenly looked at Liu Qiangdong and said seriously, "Brother Dong, after the logistics and warehousing center is built, I will lend it to me for a while." "Oh? OK, just use it." Although Liu Qiangdong didn't know what Qin Shaoyan was going to do, he didn't care.
From the current development level in the southwest region and the business needs of Jingdong Mall, Yizhou's logistics and warehousing center is completely useless, and the large space will be idle for several years.
Qin Shaoyan took out a list, "You can help me purchase some things, and you should pay attention to the storage and management of some things."
Liu Qiangdong borrowed it and looked at it, and his eyes immediately became straight because there were too many types of materials on this list, and there were everything.
"Hydraulic dilator, chainsaw, cutting machine, jack, crowbar, shovel, hammer, rope, emergency light, safety helmet, walkie-talkie, emergency power supply." Qin Shaoyan pointed to the list and said, "These should be purchased first, and the quality must be good."
"The medical supplies behind should be properly kept, such as saline, disinfectant cotton, tourniquet, bandage, triangle scarf, antibiotics, painkillers, and antitetanus serum."
"Portable ventilators, AED defibrillators, oxygen cylinders, splints, folding stretchers."
"Tents, waterproof tarpaulins, sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats, folding beds, bottled water, water purification equipment, compressed biscuits..."
"Tents, waterproof tarpaulins, sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats, folding beds, bottled water, water purification equipment, compressed biscuits..."
Qin Shaoyan said one by one, and marked it in it which materials have higher priority and which are the key points.
Liu Qiangdong was numb after reading it, and he felt very confused. "Mr. Qin, why do you want such things? I saw that these supplies have little to do with our e-commerce business."
"No, you were wrong, it has something to do." Qin Shaoyan said firmly, "And it has a lot to do."
Liu Qiangdong thought for a while, "Then let me try it. Some things are not easy to do..."
"If you have any problems, please contact Secretary Zhang. If you really can't solve it, I'll find a solution." Qin Shaoyan said firmly, then shook Liu Qiangdong's hand hard, "Please, Brother Dong, this matter is very important."
When Liu Qiangdong saw Qin Shaoyan's expression solemn, he stopped asking, "Okay, I will do my best."
...
After the matter in Yizhou was completed, Zhang Wanli returned to him to help Qin Shaoyan solve one of the most important problems at present - Sentinel Technology Headquarters Building.
As the largest Internet company in China, Sentinel Technology's headquarters has been staying in a three-story building.
Due to the continuous expansion, this place can no longer meet the office needs. Many departments have to work separately, so it is inconvenient to contact each other for meetings.
Before, Qin Shaoyan had been seeking a place to build Sentinel Technology's own headquarters building, and there was no news after applying for it.
Now Qin Shaoyan has just returned to the capital and received good news that the land has been approved.
The address of the headquarters building is in Houchang Village, next to the Baidu Building under construction, next to the headquarters of Sohu and NetEase.
The Internet companies in Beijing mainly have three gathering places, Houchang Village, Wangjing and Zhongguan Village. Zhongguancun is already very crowded and there is no suitable place, so you can only build a building in Houchang Village.
Later, 600 IT companies gathered in the headquarters here, resulting in extremely congestion on Houchang Village Road every day, and it was criticized as "the biggest bottleneck restricting the development of China's Internet."
Qin Shaoyan took the map and looked at it, and was surprised that the location of the Sentinel Technology Headquarters building was another time and space penguin's Beijing headquarters building.
I didn't expect that in this time and space, he took the lead and became the headquarters of Sentinel Technology.
I guess Brother Ma couldn't feel that his luck was taken away at this time.
"Not bad, this is a Feng Shui treasure land!" Qin Shaoyan praised repeatedly, "I chose this land well, I chose it very well!"
Zhang Pingyi came over curiously, studied the map carefully, and exclaimed, "It's indeed a good place!"
"I didn't expect that Mr. Qin also understood Feng Shui techniques?"
Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Well, I have a little research, but I don't know much."
Now that there is land, Sentinel Technology is not short of money, so Mr. Qin waved his pen and allocated funds to build a building.
Not only needs to be built, but also needs to be well built, and it must overwhelm other Internet company headquarters buildings in terms of momentum.

"By the way, remember one thing, you never need to invite any foreign designers!" Qin Shaoyan said with a serious expression, "Our building is our face, it is built with real money and must not be a test piece of art for them."
For a period of time, various buildings with strange shapes emerged in China, and finally the country issued a special document requiring no more "weird buildings".
The foreign designers have no professional ethics. They take large design fees, some of them are perfunctory in design, and some of them are just using domestic suckers as test items.
The domestic Party A not only spent a lot of money, but also made his own building extremely ugly.
Some are ugly and some are just ugly, while others are just holding private goods, such as "big shorts".
Zhang Pingyi also agreed, "Even if you don't look for domestic designers, you can find I.M. Pei, they are really experts."
Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, "Well, it's best to hire I.M. Pei. We are not short of money. We should save money."
"The headquarters building is our face. We must not be careless or save money in this regard, otherwise it will become an international laughing stock."
After the agreement is completed, please contact the designer immediately.
After the location of the headquarters building was determined, Sentinel Technology was happy.
It was too difficult. I finally had my own building and I didn’t have to stay in this three-story building.
It's so crowded that people from other departments are far away, and they still have to walk a distance when they want to have a meeting, which is very inconvenient.
And when I was on night shifts at night, I always felt that the company was a bit weird and gloomy.
There have always been some rumors in the company chat group, especially senior employees, who swear that they can often hear strange sounds in the middle of the night.
When new employees sneer at this statement, the old employees retorted.
"If the company headquarters is really fine, why does Mr. Zhang do something to exorcise ghosts every once in a while?"
"The reason why the company is still safe and sound is entirely due to Mr. Zhang's magic power suppression."
"President Qin calls Mr. Zhang Tianshi, and Mr. Zhang is a master with great cultivation."
No matter what the sayings are circulating in the company, in short, everyone doesn't want to live here anymore.
The only thing that is unhappy about the news that Sentinel Technology is moving out is the landlord.
The three-story building has gone from an unpopular "urban legend" to a popular Feng Shui treasure land, relying entirely on sentinel technology.
This time, the landlord was extremely proud and showed off everywhere, "Who said that our family is a ghost building? It's a treasure pot. Mr. Qin started his business on our three-story building and became the richest man in the country in a few years."
Now that the richest man in China is about to move away, he was very reluctant and specially asked Qin Shaoyan to write to him and leave a magic treasure.
Qin Shaoyan was not easy to refuse. For the sake of his cooperation, he wrote the three big words "Jucailou" in his brush.
The landlord was so happy that he immediately found someone to make a plaque.
…
After the matter in the headquarters building was settled, Qin Shaoyan began to solve another problem, that is, payment tools.
Payment tools are the lifeblood of Qin Shaoyan's future business empire and the artery. This matter is more important than anything else.
In the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan for the Development of E-commerce" released by the state, it is mentioned that my country's e-commerce development still faces some prominent problems, such as electronic certification, online payment, credit, security protection, and system construction cannot meet the needs of rapid development of e-commerce, and the development environment needs to be further improved.
Qin Shaoyan summoned his right and left arms and began to discuss the issue of payment tools. "Shi Zhang Tian, you have recommended someone to me before. What's your name?" Qin Shaoyan asked. "Call Niu Jie." Zhang Pingyi replied. "Have you dug up the person?" Qin Shaoyan asked. "No." Zhang Pingyi shook his head, "He did not agree."
"Huh?" Qin Shaoyan was very surprised, "Why didn't you agree? We are very sincere."
"Forget it, call the person over, I'll ask yourself."
Look soon Zhang Pingyi brought the person over, and Qin Shaoyan looked up and was a little surprised.
This talent doesn't look like a programmer at all. She has big arms, round waist, a fat face, and her exposed arms are full of tattoos. She doesn't look like a good person.
As soon as Niu Jie entered the door, he seemed a little cramped and kept rubbing his hands nervously, "Mr. Qin, Qin Qin, are you looking for me?"
Qin Shaoyan looked at this non-mainstream programmer and asked with a smile: "How are you staying in our company?"
"It's pretty good, it's pretty good." Niu Jie nodded quickly, "Everyone treats me well, the benefits here are good, the food is good, and I have learned a lot of things."
"Do you want to work in our company? The salary and benefits of our company are higher than those in other places." Qin Shaoyan said temptingly. "I think about it, of course I think about it." Niu Jie said happily.
Qin Shaoyan and Zhang Pingyi were a little surprised and looked at each other.
"But I don't dare." Niu Jie said aggrievedly.
