Chapter six hundred and fiftieth eighth
On Tuesday, February 12, the Baren Group gradually recovered from anger. The company collected earlier than the statutory holidays, but I was sorry that I couldn't let employees celebrate Valentine's Day in my hometown.
In a corner of the Ba people, voices gradually appeared in the area listed as well-off, but there were only a few people led by Chu Yuanxi.
Among them, Zhou Mingjun can start research and development directly, of course, he personally went to the front line to build models. Xiaokang has a lot of demand for AI, and the first thing he bought was the customer tracking function in the store.
The local convenience store model of Tianchao does not require much manpower, because there is basically no need for Sku control and iteration. Only a couple can check out and restock the goods one by one. Anyway, the transaction volume is not large. However, innovative convenience stores are not, with large transaction volume and a basic need for manpower, so controlling manpower is a big topic.
Xiaokang is not an unmanned store, but there should not be more than five employees in a single store, because the labor cost is also very high, which requires AI help. For example, tracking customers in the store, through infrared, pressure, face, load mixing sensing, etc., it is necessary to determine whether the customer is paying or not when he leaves.
This AI cannot simply set an alarm mechanism, it must be in-depth training, otherwise the problem will be very serious if the prompt is offended by an innocent customer.
Another part of Zhou Mingjun's work is to assist Liu Lu in recruiting, first recruiting the people he needs, and then big data. Those who engage in artificial intelligence know a little bit of big data, so it is no problem to let Zhou Mingjun be responsible for recruiting big data talents.
**I have been repeatedly understanding the development outline of Xiaokang during the Spring Festival, and finally found that Xiaokang's operation and the operation he is familiar with are not the same operation as the operation he is familiar with, and they need to face new challenges.
He was mainly entrusted by Chu Yuanxi with the important operational responsibility of supply chain. Although he had never done this personally, it was not difficult for the operational powerhouses. What he needed was physical strength and patience.
For example, coordination with suppliers, coordination with "friendly" warehouses such as Carrefour Walmart, etc., especially the coordination of suppliers who make fresh food and packaged food, setting up distribution centers and logistics teams, etc.
Liu Lu is preparing to start recruiting, and the first batch of IT talents will be recruited first, mainly big data and AI, and app development is definitely a must.
But she must have to look at the budget, so she came to Chu Yuanxi with the budget table: "Hey, why do you have to make a bunch of coffee machines in your budget? This thing is very cost-effective and troublesome. Moreover, should we sell coffee too?"
"Sell it, why not?" Chu Yuanxixin said that this is also a new beginning. There is no coffee project in the 2016 Xiaokang, but based on the current form, it is necessary to launch it because it can increase a lot of customer orders, which is not troublesome. "This is not troublesome, and there is no need to train separately like a barista training master, and..."
The words were about to say something, would you say it or not? He thought about it and told Liu Lu: "And we can go to Luckin."
"For Luckin? Why?"
"Because most of Luckin's customers can't make coffee good or bad, do you understand? We can defeat Luckin from cost, logistics and convenience."
Liu Lu was even more fascinated, "Cost, do you mean, actively lowering the quality of coffee?"
"Yes, have you read Luckin's investment report? Coffee is the urgent need of their customers, so Luckin pays more attention to promoting to companies and does Tob business. In fact, most of Luckin's customers are social animals. What is urgently needed by social animals is not coffee, but caffeine, which is used to refresh the spirit."
"I'll go...you're really hurt!"
At this time, ** came over and asked, "Chu Yuanxi, who will be responsible for the ground push?" He was staring at the business structure. Although there were few people at present, there would definitely be more in the future, but there must be people who are good at each unit of the business structure to be responsible. In his impression, Chu Yuanxi is definitely not a master of ground push. He will definitely die by fooling investors to do ground push.
"This, I have someone to choose. I will go and dig him when I come back from the south." Chu Yuanxi was not under pressure because he had confirmed that Du Xi was still a small store manager at 724 before the Spring Festival.
When it comes to promotion, the Celestial Empire has produced many talents, killing Europe and the United States in seconds, but there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Chu Yuanxi's mind promotion genius no.1 has always been "two, three, four, five".
This is a true legendary enterprise, which started with web navigation. Although it was a little late when it started, the world of web navigation has been divided by "Three Seven Two One" and "Good One Two Three", but with their unique ingenious ideas, they tore open the iron curtain set up by the two heroes and become the Three Kingdoms battle for hegemony.
This ingenuity is the famous pirated system of Radish Home in the WinXP era. This system is so considerate that even the whole family bucket is installed for users. In that era, Radish Home is simply a cheat, so it recorded 5 million users in three months, and entered the top 100 global website traffic in one year!
In the end, Luobu Home was sued by Microsoft and apologized for 36 million yuan. Microsoft is also considered powerful and was able to trace the source and find Luobu Home's previous home.
But at this time, the daily active users of 2345 have exceeded 20 million. Is 36 million RMB still considered money? The 2345, who tasted the sweetness, cannot stop the expansion method. Although the pirated version cannot be continued, the whole family can still install it! It cannot be automatically installed by the system, and can also be manually installed by manpower...
So the most classic scene in the history of world promotion appeared. Er345 formed the unprecedented installer alliance on the Internet in the Celestial Empire, and organized the clerks responsible for installation and maintenance of computer cities and computer stores across the country to give commissions. The number of people reached as many as 8 million, just to let users collect a whole family bucket of Er345 for their computers.
In the Heavenly Kingdom, there are countless people who use computers, but those who know computers do not save one. Most of the users who have been installed with family buckets at first felt very considerate, and the clerk told them not to delete them. Until the system card was not good and wanted to delete them, they found that they were helpless. The only way was to use the family bucket of 360 to deal with the family bucket of 2345!
Er345 and 360 are a pair of enemies. What does 360 do? Er345 are replicated immediately. I must have what you have. I am a loyal believer in the theory of the vegetable market. Only in terms of user monetization, Er345 is ahead of 360. Any traffic monetization, advertising to users, etc. are weak. Er345 is in place in one step, and the money is directly used to make online loans for users!
The online lending policy has not been tightened in 2016. The online lending interest rate for 2345 is around 90%. By the time the policy was tightened in 2017, the first interest rate of 2345 began to be closed, and 46% of the operating costs were collection fees.
What is the model of the collection cost of 150 million yuan? How many Kunshan Long Ge have been raised? We don’t know, and we dare not ask. Anyway, after 360 went back to learn 2345 and made a product called "Rong360", which was criticized by 315.
A level of ground promotion is as magnificent as an epic, embodying the essence of humanitarianism. The essence of the Internet lies in the communication between people and people. With this talent, you will succeed in anything you do on the Internet. It is nothing more than the difference between big and small success.
Chu Yuanxi's favorite genius Du Xu is not that powerful, and he would not dare to use it if he had. He had already left 2% of the options for Du Xu, second only to Liu Lu.
In Xiaokang, the number of options is relatively shortened, but considering that Xiaokang has a size of over 100 billion in the future, there are definitely many. Moreover, Xiaokang cannot be generous in sending options because there are too many people who need to issue options, but the proportion of available options is limited.
The structure of the Angel Wheel is that Chu Yuanxi invests 100 million yuan to account for 50% of the equity, the team's valuation 100 million yuan to account for 50% of the options, and the total valuation is 200 million yuan. Among them, Chu Yuanxi himself accounts for 10% of the options, leaving 10% to the employee level, and only 30% can be issued. However, there are a lot of talents needed, such as ai, blockchain, app development, online content, logistics, supply chain, ground promotion, store control, bicycles, mobile payment, social systems and user operations, etc., and Liu Lu's share, so it will not be too high for everyone.
Although the people have not been recruited, the options must be retained first. Among them, only 10% of the options at the employee level seem to be crowded because there are so many people... How many talents are there in Ba? There are more than 100 people in total, which makes it look like two or three big cats and kittens. It is perfect for the number of employees in Xiaokang to exceed 10,000 in the future. There may be only a few hundred employees at the headquarters, but store employees, logistics employees, etc. account for a large proportion. You must pay attention to issuing options and must be restrained, otherwise it will shine all at once.
According to Chu Yuanxi's itinerary, today I will calm down the people on both sides of Baren and Xiaokang, confirm that the work is on track, and tomorrow I will go south to visit Cao Shan for a flagship store tour, which will take about a week.
Therefore, today, Chu Yuanxi officially invited Yuan Mu, proposing that she join Xiaokang before the next financing node and be honored as O, which will help to make money in the future.
The paid-in capital of Xiaokang Angel Wheel seems to be quite large, but it can’t stand up to long expenses. It can make a lot of money by doing big data and AI, and can advance the money of shared bicycles. The most expensive thing in the early stage is app development, the most expensive thing is logistics construction, and the most troublesome thing is sorting out channels and sorting out suppliers. However, this means that before opening a store, when the store is opened, the money will be burned to the extreme as soon as the cost of subsidizing users is raised.
If you want to know why you burn money, you can learn from Luckin. Luckin lost 3.2 billion yuan in 2018, and its total revenue was more than 800 million yuan. In other words, the expenditure was 4 billion yuan.
This is why Yuan Jing directly took 1 billion to make early investments in Xiaokang, which is also the reason why Chu Yuanxi was extremely hungry for funds. Luckin just burned money and went straight to Huanglong. Xiaokang played the night battle in the eight directions, and all directions needed the support of funds. Including the mobile payment designed in the original world but had no time to play and traveled through time, all of which were money tigers.
