Chapter 44 Old Friend
Liu Qiangdong’s question stopped Qin Shaoyan. He did not expect Brother Dong to come to the door so quickly.
Because he was just fooling Liu Qiangdong before, website e-commerce was not in his plan yet.
The e-commerce business is very complicated. There is no supporting facilities such as channels, sales, platforms and after-sales services, so it is impossible to operate it at all.
And e-commerce business is not only troublesome, but also quite expensive.
If Qin Shaoyan's plan goes well, he will have to wait until two years later when there are venture capital investors to invest in e-commerce.
What's more, he doesn't have 100,000 registered users. He doesn't even have 15,000 registered users now, and his active users are less than 20%.
Of course, the real data of the website cannot be disclosed.
This is a trade secret.
Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds and suddenly asked: "Brother Dong, have you settled your supply channels?"
"I contacted several companies that supply spare parts and make complete machines." Liu Qiangdong replied.
"Are there any branded machines?" Qin Shaoyan asked again.
"This... no." Liu Qiangdong frowned, "Brand-branded machines have their own agents, so it is difficult to get the agency right for the time being."
"Brother Dong , Nowadays, they are basically novice users who don’t understand computers. They can’t just sell spare parts and build their own machines.” Qin Shaoyan said with some embarrassment, “They don’t know the configuration and only recognize brand machines. Without brand machines, it is difficult for users to trust them. Us."
"This..." Liu Qiangdong thought for a while, nodded in agreement, "Then I'll try and see which brand of machine I can get."
"It's best to get a few more and a laptop." Qin Shaoyan added, "Brother Dong, how are you preparing the after-sales maintenance team and customer service team?"
"Computer repairers I found a few people and asked our clerks to take on the role of customer service. They have also been trained during this period and are able to cope with it," Liu Qiangdong said with confidence.
"Brother Dong, let me pour cold water on you first." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "E-commerce is not as easy as you think. If you really do it, it depends on what you said. A few people are not useful at all.”
“By then we may not be facing a few users, but hundreds or thousands. Will your customer service and after-sales team be able to handle it then?”< br>
Liu Qiangdong was startled. It seemed that his thinking was a bit simplistic. He asked tentatively: "Will there be so many?"
"A month ago, I said that I could now have 100,000 users. Would you believe it then?" Qin Shaoyan asked.
Liu Qiangdong was stunned, and then nodded in agreement.
If someone had told him a month ago that the campus network could have 100,000 users in two days, he would have scoffed.
But Qin Shaoyan did it. It can only be said that he was playing a very new thing, which surpassed Liu Qiangdong's previous knowledge.
"It seems that I want to be simple." Liu Qiangdong sighed.
In this era, people do not have a unified understanding of the future prospects of the Internet, and are full of confusion, restlessness, and uncertainty.
Even people on the front lines of the Internet are cautiously optimistic. No one can imagine how fast and how big the Internet will be in the future.
Liu Qiangdong is still struggling with whether to go online or offline at this time. He believes that online business is just a supplement, and he has not completely given up on offline business.
"It doesn't matter, Brother Dong, it's our first time doing this, so we are inevitably not prepared enough." Qin Shaoyan comforted, "I never thought before that the number of users on this website was growing so fast that the server crashed three times a day. "
"I told you before that it would be half a year, but now it's only a month, so don't worry, just wait."
Liu Qiangdong nodded and suppressed his restless heart.
"Brother Dong, I have to tell you something." Qin Shaoyan said sincerely, "Computers are different from other things. They are expensive and costly. If I really want to start trying e-commerce, I won't I will take the risk on you first.”
“Look at these packages, they are all clothes that have just been shipped from the clothing factory. I am going to start by selling clothes.”
“First. If you run through this model, even if there is something wrong with the clothes, they will not be worth a lot of money. They are the most suitable test products."
Liu Qiangdong then noticed the packages and said in surprise: "Xiao Qin. , You are moving quickly enough.”
"It's better to sharpen the knife than chop wood. The clothes won't break down anyway." Qin Shaoyan didn't expect Mr. Tian and Mr. Wang to be so fast. The clothes were delivered before he could react.
I also gave away 10,000 more pieces.
If his haunted house hadn't been big enough, he wouldn't have known where to put it. Qin Shaoyan deceived Liu Qiangdong again, which made Brother Dong very happy.
Brother Dong was very enthusiastic and started to help, carrying several large bags of clothes upstairs. Qin Shaoyan couldn't stop him, and finally took a few photos.
The boss of JD.com took the initiative to carry my bag. I can brag about this for a long time.
After sending the person away enthusiastically, Qin Shaoyan turned to look at Zhang Pingyi with a dark face, "Hurry up and contact your senior brother."
"I have already left him a QQ message." Zhang Pingyi frowned. He frowned, "I don't know when he will reply to me."
"You can't put your hopes in a basket when you walk on two legs." Qin Shaoyan pointed to the package on the ground, "Open it and take a few Come out and follow me with your laptop."
Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised, "What are you doing?"
"School is about to start now, and the students should all go back to school. Let's go find a university and see if we can bring back some artists."
"By the way, quickly contact the courier and follow the addresses of those students. Send it out to them."
...
Qin Shaoyan set up a table at the west gate of the Dingfuzhuang Primary School Affiliated University.
There are several large pieces of white paper stuck in front of the table, with words written on them in the largest font.
"Campus network promotion, free gifts when you register."
"Recruiting animation professionals with high salaries!"
"Come on for the publicity of the Olympic Games!"
Passing by The students would look at it curiously, but no one came to ask.
Zhang Pingyi is currently discussing with the owner of the nearby store to borrow their store's network.
Qin Shaoyan was sitting behind the table, looking at the endless flow of people with a smile on his face.
There are schools offering animation majors. The reason why Qin Shaoyan traveled so far to come to Yanjing Broadcasting Institute, a familiar yet unfamiliar place, was to reminisce about the past.
In his previous life, he often came here and was quite familiar with the area.
Many of his friends and colleagues who have worked with him graduated here. He wanted to come here to see if he could meet some familiar people.
Qin Shaoyan was immersed in past memories when a crisp voice sounded in his ears.
"Hello."
Qin Shaoyan raised his head, and a female college student wearing a blue and black short-sleeved dress stood in front of him.
She lowered her head and looked at Qin Shaoyan curiously with her big black eyes.
Qin Shaoyan stood up in surprise and looked at the familiar person in front of him.
"Hello, are you looking for animation designers here?" the female student asked again tentatively.
"Oh, yes." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "We are a game company, making stand-alone games."
The female student quickly took out a stack of resumes from her backpack and handed them over with both hands, "I My name is Mingyue, and this is my resume."
Qin Shaoyan looked at her hesitantly and remained silent.
Mingyue immediately explained, "This is not my online name. My real name is Mingyue. Here, this is my ID card."
Looking at the ID card that Mingyue took out, Qin Shaoyan He didn't move, just looked at her blankly.
The breeze blew through the dense leaves, and the sunlight swayed on her body.
The light and shadow are mottled, as if it were another world.
