"Cao Cao Logistics, you don't need to worry, I plan to give them a budget of one billion."
He Qian and Zeng Yiming looked shocked. They gave Cao Cao Logistics a budget of one billion?
My dear, isn’t the big boss too rich?
He Qian nodded quickly: "Then I have no doubt. As long as the warehousing and logistics are properly controlled, we can reduce some categories in the early stage."
Chen Dongcheng concluded: "To forge iron, you have to be strong. It doesn't matter if we are weak now. We must strengthen product monitoring to prevent fakes from appearing, and deal with fakes in a timely manner if we find them."
"When we become stronger and have the right to speak, we can seek direct cooperation with brands to eliminate the appearance of fakes from the source."
In the final analysis, it is still a question of strength.
How much purchase amount can Little Blue Book get?
For example, Estee Lauder's annual turnover is tens of billions of dollars, and the orders from Little Blue Book are not taken seriously by others at all.
Therefore, the self-operated model claimed by most cross-border e-commerce companies is to cooperate with local authorized channel providers.
These channel dealers often mix genuine products with counterfeit products to increase their own profits.
Even if they are aware of this situation, these cross-border e-commerce platforms still have to hold their noses and admit it.
At the end of the meeting, Zeng Yiming said with a sad face: "Dr. Chen, we will be 618 soon. Our results in this exam are very important!"
618, like the annual midterm exam.
For all e-commerce platforms, it is both happiness and pain.
The good thing is that we can reap super high sales, but the painful thing is that the problem of fake products will always appear frequently, and there is no solution.
"Try to strengthen the review and choose some channel providers with good reputations. It doesn't matter if they are more expensive.
But the proportion of fakes must be controlled within a very small range.
If the user really receives something, they will be compensated accordingly.
Don’t lose the watermelon because you ordered sesame seeds.”
Zeng Yiming nodded and responded: "I understand."
"Since you choose to take the path of community + e-commerce, you must be prepared to be scolded. As long as fewer and fewer people scold you, you will succeed."
Chen Dongcheng patted Zeng Yiming on the shoulder and said a few words of encouragement.
When Cao Cao arrived quickly, there were not as many people as Little Lan Shu.
The only people sitting in the office are engineers and administrative staff.
General Manager's Office.
Zhou Shaohua and Chen Dongcheng reported on their nationwide layout, and basically completed the layout of bonded warehouses in first- and second-tier cities.
Local warehousing has also been prepared early. Supply chain and warehousing are the two most important links.
Zhou Shaohua and Lu Guangyu conducted interviews in person and formed two teams.
The supply chain team basically flies overseas all year round to negotiate procurement and expand cooperative brand channel partners.
The warehousing team is planning overseas and domestic layouts, striving to increase the area of bonded warehouses.
This asset-heavy model makes Zhou Shaohua's operation trembling with fear.
I'm afraid that if Chen Dongcheng suddenly says he has no money, all his efforts will be in vain.
After listening to Zhou Shaohua's report, Chen Dongcheng also gave Zhou Shaohua a signal.
Let him calm down and make every effort to lay out the supply chain.
When Zhou Shaohua heard that the budget given to him by Chen Dongcheng was as high as one billion, his eyes gleamed and he wished he could see one billion immediately.
"Dr. Chen, please don't lie to me. I will remember it for you."
Zhou Shaohua and Chen Dongcheng also became familiar with each other: "As long as you give me one billion, I, Zhou, will definitely finish this warehouse for you even if I risk my life."
Cao Cao's logistics is too expensive. If taken together, Cao Cao's Suda losses would definitely be quite ugly.
Therefore, Chen Dongcheng spun off Caocao Logistics early and turned it into an independent project.
For now, it will be managed by Zhou Shaohua.
In the future, as the logistics business develops and expands, we will decide who will manage the logistics company.
Of course Chen Dongcheng would not lie to him, and besides, the one billion was not meant to be taken out immediately.
When Chen Dongcheng upgrades to another level, it is possible to spend one billion US dollars.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the Magic City Center Building next to the Global Center.
Chen Dongcheng asked Zhou Shaohua: "Is that building almost completed?"
"It's coming soon. It is said that it will be completed by the end of the year, but the leasing process is not going well."
Zhou Shaohua shook his head: "After all, it was built by a state-owned enterprise, and its vision is too high. It requires the companies that settle in to be the world's top 500 companies.
I heard that everyone doesn’t catch a cold very much, so it’s probably a good idea to rent it out for 60% of the time.”
After saying that, Zhou Shaohua was a little confused: "Director Chen, haven't you received a call from the Magic City Center?"
"Telephone?"
Chen Dongcheng looked at Xie Jingyu. Normally, business phones were placed with Xie Jingyu.
Chen Dongcheng's mobile phone is a private mobile phone, and only close people can call in.
Xie Jingyu nodded: "Modu Center did call you, but the price they offered was too high. I think we might as well wait for a while before talking."
Chen Dongcheng suddenly realized and said a little teasingly: "Is this poaching on the neighbor?"
"Hehe, isn't it? This method is really not very authentic."
Zhou Shaohua said with a smile: "It's probably not just you, basically all the owners and powerful tenants of Global Center have been called by them."
"What did Mori Building say?"
"What else can we say? Lower rents and property fees to win over these owners and tenants."
"Mr. Chen, are you interested in the Magic City Center?"
Chen Dongcheng glanced at Zhou Shaohua and saw through his mind: "Want to move out?"
Zhou Shaohua said frankly: "I have this idea. If you are satisfied with the results we have achieved when the Magic City Center is officially rented out, I would like to rent an office building on the first floor in the Magic City Center as the company's front."
People compete for a breath, Buddha competes for a stick of incense.
Cao Cao's Suda now belongs to Xiaolan Shu's temporary residence, so the two families can't always share an office building on the same floor.
As the company grows, it is inevitable to change the office area.
Chen Dongcheng pointed to the center of Shanghai Magic City and asked: "What's the price now?"
"It was relatively expensive at first, it was said that it was 20 yuan/square meter/day."
Zhou Shaohua shook his head and said: "It will be more favorable when the market becomes deserted and they start poaching.
The price is 13-15 yuan/square meter/day, which is considered to be the average level for super-grade A office buildings.”
Chen Dongcheng nodded, the price is quite reasonable.
20 yuan/square meter/day is ridiculous.
Only a fool would be willing to pay such an expensive price to rent here. There are not too many office buildings in the Lujiazui area.
Taking a step back, renting the Global Center is not much worse.
Seeing that Chen Dongcheng had no objection, Zhou Shaohua continued: "I plan to rent an office building in District 4 in the center of Shanghai. The entire floor area is almost 3,200 square meters.
By comprehensively considering factors such as lighting and floor area, it is considered the best zone, and the floor height is also slightly higher than that of Zones 5 and 6."
Chen Dongcheng said with a half-smile but not a smile: "You are quite attentive and have done a lot of research, right?"
Zhou Shaohua nodded and said, "I can't hide it from you. I've always been very considerate."
Chen Dongcheng does not lack this little money, but he will not speak casually.
"Whenever the number of Cao Cao Suda's delivery personnel exceeds 500,000, I will agree."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Zhou Shaohua was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and understood that Chen Dongcheng was acquiescing to them.
Cao Cao Suda now has nearly 300,000 delivery personnel.
In less than half a year, they will have 500,000 delivery people.
At that time, they will only have to wait for the Magic City Center to be officially put into use before they can move in.
Zhou Shaohua met Chen Dongcheng once and reported to Chen Dongcheng for almost two hours.
Chen Dongcheng reported all aspects of Cao Cao's speed.
Inadvertently mentioning Zhou Hai who was stabbed by a user and sent to the hospital.
Zhou Shaohua and others also received verbal praise from a leader in Shanghai for their proper handling.
