Age of Dreams

So far, Xiao Qi has no plan to expand Xiaoyao Mall's purchasing agents.

The first round has involved more than 15,000 purchasing agents, which has consumed a lot of energy of Xiaoyao Mall and Xiaoyao Logistics. It can be said that a large part of the reason why their overseas development is so slow is because of this.

You said it’s good to buy on behalf of others, right?

Of course it is good, right.

But just like delicious food, you have to eat slowly, one meal at a time, right?

It's impossible to be bloated directly after a meal, and then sent to the hospital directly after eating enough?

Of course, the government wants you to do more and better, so they don't care about your difficulties. Anyway, if you have money and people, why don't you do it?

Facts have proved that it is necessary to have a good relationship with the government, but if you follow the government in everything, you will lose your own management autonomy at all, and it will not conform to your own wishes at all.

Therefore, if Xiao Qi wants to do something, he is usually willing to do it himself, so he will listen to Niu Ruzheng and Yu Chengsheng's opinions.

Those who pretended to be very hesitant agreed, but in fact Xiao Qi was interested in doing it, but he didn't want them to feel that it was too easy, so he created some difficulties for them.

If Xiao Qi really refused to do it, he would definitely not agree.

As far as the present is concerned, it is far from the time to expand Xiaoyao Mall's purchasing agents.

It's not about money, Xiao Qi has a cash flow of more than 600 billion U.S. dollars in his hands, and the cost of just over 140 billion U.S. dollars is completely affordable.

It's just that these existing purchasing agents still need to constantly tap their potential, constantly sum up experience, and carefully sort out the success or failure of each item. Only in this way can they serve the public better.

In this way, without two or three years, this kind of delicate research and improvement cannot be completed.

Xiao Qi likes to do things in a more detailed way. For example, the DreamPad Mini, which is about to be launched recently, has been developed for more than 2 years. Obviously most of the structure is similar to that of the DreamPad, but Xiao Qi just wants to keep improving, so it is time and money. It costs a lot.

Like Apple, it launches the IPad Mini with a little improvement, and then releases new models every year to improve previous mistakes. Xiao Qi generally does not do such imperfect and imperfect things.

But not expanding Xiaoyao Mall's purchasing agency points doesn't mean Xiao Qi doesn't care about it.

Qin Yibin took people to Japan, but Xiaoyao Mall also had several vice presidents sitting in charge, and one of them was the vice president who was in charge of the purchasing point of Xiaoyao Mall.

The vice president is called Zhu Maowen. He is 42 years old and has very rich qualifications.

When he first graduated from university 20 years ago, he was in the supply and marketing cooperative system in Sunset West Mountain. But when the supply and marketing cooperative system in many cities was reduced to relying on rent for wages, the city he was in, because of his hard work, It has become a company in good business condition, with frighteningly high profits.

Later, the supply and marketing cooperative in this city was also gnawed down by moths that swarmed in. Zhu Maowen went to a large state-owned chain supermarket in the capital and spent ten years making this state-owned chain supermarket the first in the capital. One, and spread all over the districts and counties of the capital.

After returning from Japan, Qin Yibin had lived in the capital for so many years, so he naturally knew about Zhu Maowen, so when he formed his own team, he invited Zhu Maowen over.

At that time, Zhu Maowen also entered a bottleneck in his career, he was interested in online commerce, and knew that this company was invested by Xiao Qi, of course he was not afraid that it would collapse in two or three years, so he readily followed.

At the beginning, he was helping to build the city network of Xiaoyao Mall. After Xiao Qi proposed Xiaoyao Mall's purchasing agency, Qin Yibin immediately put this important task on Zhu Maowen, and asked him to form a team to deal with it.

In addition to the preparation time, after these two years, Zhu Maowen has done a very good job, and has been praised by Xiao Qi many times. When the year-end bonus was issued last year, Zhu Maowen's bonus was directly 200 million, just like before. The standard of Qin Yibin for two years.

Many people speculated that if Qin Yibin was promoted again and directly became the vice president of Xiaoyao Mall, Xiaoyao Logistics and Xiaoyao Express, the CEO of Xiaoyao Mall would be Zhu Maowen.

Zhou Bo, who was originally in charge of supervising the Xiaoyao family, will now be in charge of the overall strategy of Fairy Company, including the various investments of Fairy Company, the development and listing of its subsidiaries... This position is not demeaning, Because the combined value of the companies that Fairy Company invests in or holds shares in exceeds 500 billion U.S. dollars.

Xiao Qi felt a little funny when he heard these words.

I haven't even thought about it this way yet, these private chairman have already started to help me think about it.

Although what they say makes sense, if you want to consider these things, you should make arrangements when you are preparing to retire at least three to five years later, and it is still too early to say.

Turn to the eyes.

Qin Yibin was not in the country, so Zhu Maowen reported to Xiao Qi about the business of Xiaoyao Mall's purchasing agents.

"Now it's the twelfth lunar month, so the shopping enthusiasm of rural people has increased again. According to our calculations, the transaction volume of this month will exceed about 5 billion yuan, which is double the usual." Zhu Maowen said, "But due to the twelfth lunar month During this period, our labor costs and other prices have increased, as well as the increase in transportation costs, so the profit will decline a little bit, which may not reach 5%.”

"I don't look at the profit for the time being." Xiao Qi smiled, "In the beginning, we cultivated their shopping methods in line with the times, and we didn't even think about making money from them."

"Speaking of this way of shopping, many grandparents in their 60s and 70s have joined in. From time to time, they sit next to our purchasing agent or other people, and they will buy what they like. Some." Zhu Maowen said, "But in this way, the number of our purchasing agents is somewhat insufficient. Recently, many branches are applying for me, saying that they need at least one or two more people."

"Well, I think it can be increased." Xiao Qi nodded, "Even if we don't increase now, we still need to increase the number of people we serve in the future. When we add purchasing agents in the future, these people can also go to work in new places. As for it all depends on recruiting newcomers.”

"Will there be more purchasing agents in the next two years?" Zhu Maowen asked with a frown.

"Let's talk about it in two or three years. I can still bear this pressure." Xiao Qi said, "But it is still necessary to cultivate reserve talents. As far as I know, there is a lot of personnel turnover at the purchasing agency?"

"It's not small." Zhu Maowen also sighed, "It's not a question of salary, the salary of our Xiaoyao Mall is high enough. But basically they live in the countryside, these young people will not be able to bear it. Most of the left-behind people now, There are still some people in their thirties who have returned from working outside, and they need a stable life, so they work very hard."

"Then try to recruit such employees." Xiao Qi said, "Locals like stability, and older people also like stability. With a local background, they are more patient in serving the folks. Anyway, it is not difficult to learn how to shop on the computer. "

"it is good."

Zhu Maowen smiled, "Actually, we've already done this now, and it's much better to recruit local people. Even if we want to go to other places to open up shopping spots in the future, we'd like them to drive the local people, and then we'll finally use the service The burden is on the local staff.”

"Not bad." Xiao Qi nodded, and talked about another matter, "The two-week Spring Festival strategy is about to start, I think we can add a little discount to the price."

"Preferential offer?" Zhu Maowen smiled wryly, "Boss, we already only have less than 5% of the profit. If we make a profit, will we still suffer losses during the Spring Festival peak season? You don't allow us to put pressure on the factory, Let them lower the price, such a loss will look very bad on Xiaoyao Mall's report."

Speaking of which, Zhu Maowen can be considered an ambitious person.

Even though the service nature of Xiaoyao Mall's purchasing agent is far greater than its profit-making nature, Zhu Maowen still hopes to do better and increase profits more.

Originally, a profit of less than 5% was enough to make him feel uncomfortable, but now Xiao Qi wants to buy some profit, wouldn't he be directly at the bottom of all departments in Xiaoyao Mall?

Xiaoyao Shopping Center’s price for farmers is only 20% off the price in the city, which is already very small profit, and the price has to be lowered continuously. This is really rich and self-willed!

If you change to another boss, Zhu Maowen can take a detour, simply ask the suppliers to lower the ex-factory prices, and reduce their profits by a part, so as to reduce the profit sharing expenses here.

But when Xiaoyao Mall was established, Xiao Qi had clearly stipulated that at least 15%-20% of the profits should be given to suppliers, and Xiaoyao Mall was not allowed to squeeze their profits, so this method was not an option at all.

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's impossible for Xiaoyao Mall to go public. As long as you can make me feel that you are doing a good job, that's enough." Xiao Qi waved his hand, "I didn't mention this last year because I just opened a purchasing agency. Not many. Now that the shopping enthusiasm of the villagers has gradually increased, we can still increase benefits for them. Everyone should be happy during the Spring Festival!"

After pondering for a while, Xiao Qi said: "Just follow the 5% reduction rate, let the employees be more enthusiastic and active. You should also prepare an extra red envelope for the Spring Festival for the employees, don't be stingy."

"ok, I get it."

Zhu Maowen felt a little complicated.

As an operator, Xiao Qi's behavior is purely to make money by losing money, taking too much care of others and ignoring his own profits.

But from the point of view of shoppers and employees, Xiao Qi is an absolute good guy.

There are not many good bosses who are so generous and willing to take care of others! (to be continued ~^~)
