Rebirth in 1998 is also a kind of life

Sun Xiaolei has been suffering from insomnia recently.

As a third-year student at a well-known foreign language school in the southeast region, she had to memorize those foreign words day and night, nothing more than her dream of finding a decent job after graduation and getting ahead.

The reason why the country has promoted foreign language to such an important level is that after learning foreign language well, I will definitely become a hot talent! ——This is her and her parents' most simple thoughts.

But as her understanding of the outside world deepened, she realized how naive and ridiculous her initial thoughts were.

First of all, after entering the school, I gradually realized that Huaxia still lacks some high-end foreign language professionals, such as real-time translation, document translation and other positions are indeed paid well, and the status is glamorous-but, regardless of those positions At the very least, you have to pass the eighth level of professionalism before it is possible not to mention that the current competition for foreign language professionals in China is so fierce, even if you have passed the eighth level of professionalism, how many chances do you have for this kind of position?

Well, since it's hard to find a good job that matches your major, it's finally time to go to a good company to hang out... I'm a student of a prestigious school!

It's a pity that students from prestigious schools are different from students from prestigious schools; other prestigious schools may have inherent advantages when entering large companies, but they are definitely not among them—or, in the past, prestigious foreign language schools like them also had innate advantages. advantage, but now it is gone, and it is even a deduction item.

The reason for this is actually very simple to say, and it is also a bit unbelievable-since a few years ago, as one of the most shining star companies in China, Zhutou Trading has almost nakedly rejected several well-known universities and theirs. After graduates from foreign language schools entered the workforce, this trend quickly spread to other companies, especially brick-and-mortar companies and the once again sought-after Internet industry.

God is pitiful, everyone on the earth knows that in China, if you don't plan to take the exam or enter a state-owned enterprise, then these domestic large enterprises are definitely the best choice for you to get a job. As for foreign companies, let's forget it and gradually realize local For foreign companies with globalized management, foreign language ability is only a stepping stone, and what people value more is professional ability. However, in this area, graduates of my major do not have any advantages at all.

Of course, in the face of such a bad influence of a certain culprit, several colleges and universities that feel that their students are getting more and more difficult to find employment have come forward to criticize and question why Zhutou Trading should be treated differently, but the other party just said lightly, "Worry and The company's values ​​do not match" was thrown out, and it was considered an explanation-well, faced with such a willful and private answer, several colleges and universities really had nothing to do except curse in private.

Of course, for a student like Sun Xiaolei who is about to graduate, this trend of exclusion in society is naturally the worst news. Seeing that foreign language majors have become the most unpopular in large companies Employment groups and even ordinary enterprises are gradually looking down on them. After crying in bed for several days, Sun Xiaolei finally decided... to go abroad for further study!

But just when she had made up her mind to persuade her family to raise money and send herself to the beautiful country to be gilded, another thing immediately frightened her—Penguin News.

Sun Xiaolei was extremely repulsed by this small box that popped up from the qq software more than half a month ago, and even scolded Penguin for being a hooligan, bundling some dubious software all day long;

But soon, she was attracted by this kind of selected news carrier - this thing not only allows you to see the latest hottest news at a glance, but also many of the contents are exclusively reported by Penguin News, which is absolutely sticky Hold your sight.

Of course, what attracted Sun Xiaolei most was the "Overseas Column" section in Penguin News. As a foreign language learner who plans to go abroad for further study, overseas customs and customs are naturally the focus of her current attention.

However, after she clicked on this section, she realized that it did introduce a lot of overseas customs and social news... But this "customs and customs" is absolutely different from what she imagined!

God is so pitiful, when Sun Xiaolei saw the news, school shootings happened again and again in the beautiful country, Chinese students were extorted all day long, walked on the street and were insulted by those foreigners, many of the elites she thought were just over there While washing the dishes, the ugly faces of the "citizens" she thought were showing... In addition to fear and anger, her faith was shattered.

How to do?How to do?How to do?

This is the only problem that Sun Xiaolei has been under the blanket for the past few days.

Seeing that all the avenues that could be related to the word "getting ahead" were almost blocked, and the overseas country that she was thinking of was huge personal danger, as an ordinary little girl who was only a little vain, Sun Xiaolei was completely desperate.

Just when she was wondering whether to go against her will and go back to her hometown to take a test for establishments such as customs, an article specially pushed by Penguin News attracted her attention.

"Earning Hundreds of Thousands a Month--The Coming of the Era of Personal Entrepreneurship? "

After clicking on the blocked article, Sun Xiaolei's eyes lit up after reading it carefully.

The content of this article is actually not complicated. The general idea is to introduce a lucky 21-year-old named Gao xx who directly opened a market store on Darobber.com with his ID card, and then through the model of small profits but quick turnover, By selling trendy women's clothing and bags, I made 21.7 yuan a month - you know, this was in 2002, 21.7 yuan is not to mention an ordinary college student, even in the eyes of an ordinary small boss. Big money!

Of course, what attracted Sun Xiaolei's attention the most was the "one-piece delivery" model introduced in the article.

This kind of zero-cost model that only needs to hang photos and product introductions on the outlets registered by oneself, and directly send the order to the manufacturer after selling, let him deliver the goods for you, is simply perfect for her who has neither money nor money. I am a noob with experience, and the success of Gao xx in the case undoubtedly gave her a shot of chicken blood.

It's just that, unlike the others, although Sun Xiaolei is a bit superior at the moment, after all, she has an extra thought - what if the manufacturer doesn't deliver the goods to you?Also, where can I find these sources?

After carefully reading the article again, I found a point mentioned in it: "Currently, this win-win model has also attracted a large number of manufacturers, and they have begun to release information on supply sources on various social platforms led by Tieba and QQ, and strive to be able to participate in this national war. A piece of the feast."

Ok?

Manufacturers began to actively release information?

Sun Xiaolei figured out the flavor of it, and immediately clicked on the search friend function of the qq software, and entered the three keywords "clothing", "one dropshipping", and "e-commerce"... Immediately, a large number of people appeared in the qq list. A long list of avatars with names such as "Foshan xx women's clothing manufacturer, a dropshipping big bandit net".

After carefully clicking on the avatars and entering, most of the merchants had noted in the remarks that "you can display a copy of the business license after adding friends" and "no deposit required, and one will be issued on behalf of you", so Sun Xiaolei felt a little relieved——Look Come on, the content in the article is indeed true.

After confirming that this article is true, and that the so-called "one-piece delivery" model does not seem to be a scam similar to "paying a deposit before joining the job", Sun Xiaolei suddenly became short of breath;

Mr. Sun?

This title suddenly popped out of my mind.

Sun Xiaolei grinned stupidly when she thought that she would be sleeping on the banknotes in the near future, and that she would be a "general" figure picked up by BMW in and out.

After a long while, Sun Xiaolei came back to her senses, remembered the business, and immediately sent these manufacturers QQ friend requests one by one, and then immediately checked the official website of Darobao. Show your ID card and follow the above process step by step to register with C store...

………………

ten days later.

As the business report just calculated by Darobber.com this month was mailed to a certain place in Shanghai, the office erupted in cheers;

In fact, these people can’t be blamed for being so gawkish, but Darobber.com’s performance this month is really eye-catching—the number of new merchants reached 2.1, a year-on-year increase of 4170%; new active users The number exceeded 40, a simultaneous increase of 1140%; the turnover exceeded 2 million yuan for the first time, a year-on-year increase of 340%.

It can be said that with this report card, you can ask them to immediately attract investment, and the funds of less than 50 billion are easy!

"Hehe~! Speaking of which, we really have to thank that Penguin company. If they hadn't accidentally helped us such a big favor, it would have taken at least a year for Big Robber.com to achieve what it is today!" Jie The husband threw the report complacently, then got up and opened the wall behind, revealing the wine cabinet inside.

Today is a great day, and it is worth having a drink. Just for this report, he did not hesitate to share his collection of 1999 Romanee-Conti.

"Speaking of which, Shen, do you think it is necessary to bring Penguin into our camp?... Just like Yingtai Department Store, after all, judging from the effect of this matter, their social software has a great impact on us. As far as the plan is concerned, it is still very useful!" Jeff skillfully lifted the cork of the red wine with a seahorse knife, and then gently poured the pomegranate juice-like liquid into the decanter.

The black-haired middle-aged man called "Shen" seemed to have never heard of this, but he stared at the data report of the big bandit network seriously and thought about it; after a while, he dug out this month The performance reports of Huixuanfang and Seed Catering Management Investment Co., Ltd. were laid out on the coffee table.

Facing these three reports, after stringing together three extremely fluctuating data curves in his mind, the black-haired man's face gradually became gloomy: "I think we are in trouble... Although this is just a hunch, I can't tell. No reason, but that's what I think!"

When Jeff heard this, he was startled, and quickly closed the wine bottle: "Shen, why do you say that?"

As a partner, he initially disapproved of the so-called "28 families of private finance" in China, but as the cooperation deepened, he had to admit that due to the special national conditions of China, there might be some problems in terms of finance. Not very good at it, but the secondary innovation and commercial sensitivity of the project are really far beyond his imagination;

Therefore, even though what the man surnamed Shen said was just a "hunch", he had to take it seriously.

The middle-aged man heard Jeff looking at him seriously, and smiled wryly: "I can't tell why, I just feel that something is wrong;"

"And... don't you think it's a bit weird if you look carefully at the performance reports of these three projects and consider them together?"

Hearing this, Jeff picked up the other two reports and looked at them carefully.

Ok……

I have just seen Darobber.com, so I don’t need to read more. Although it is still a big loss in fact, the book data is very beautiful;

For Huixuanfang, although the overall traffic growth rate has slowed down to less than 4%, the overall business figures are basically the same as in the past. Considering that it is now fighting with the Home of Workers, this figure is not bad.

Um, on the side of Seed Catering Investment Management Co., Ltd., due to missing the opportunity, the turnover of a number of casual dining projects is very unsatisfactory, and the project loss rate has reached a shocking figure of 32%, but these projects are just Not long after opening, building a small business district is often not a one-off thing. In addition, they have decided to introduce some small and medium-sized catering brands from Europe and the United States, so Jeff is actually very confident in these projects.

On the whole, if you don’t count the magic capital’s gold reserves hidden under the water, and simply regard these three specific projects as a whole... the overall form is still stable and improving!

Seeing what Jeff said, the middle-aged man shook his head: "From the surface data alone, it is true, but...the three projects all showed a tendency of data inversion, and I always feel that the value delivery link is out of order. What's the problem!"

After being silent for a while, the middle-aged man who still hadn't figured out why the anxiety that flashed through his mind was shaking his head, turned around and asked: "Do you think Zhutou Trading suddenly showed its fangs in the logistics field, playing What are you trying to do when you start the [drop shipping] business?"

Jeff, who has been troubled by this question for a long time, shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe they think that as long as the logistics are perfected, those young girls can turn their heads into their arms?"

After uttering this unbelievable conjecture, Jeff laughed loudly, then poured two cups of purple liquid from the decanter, and gently pushed a cup over: "I don't think we need to be paranoid all day long; "

"Since Yang Zhu delegated power, each business department of Zhutou Commerce and Trade has started to work independently... A logistics department that is basically operated independently, for the benefit of its own department, began to use its own abundant capital to carry out ultra-low-cost third-party logistics business. Isn’t it normal to seize the market?”

At this time, countries around the world are not aware of the strategic value and dominance of a strong logistics network in the e-commerce era. Therefore, facing Jeff's rhetoric, the middle-aged man can only acquiesce in this, so he suppressed his inner thoughts. Feeling uneasy, he picked up the wine glass and lightly touched Jeff...

………………

But at this time, Wan Qingyi, who also got the monitoring data of several projects such as Darobber.com, patted his straight jade legs excitedly: "Good job, it seems that the other party has swallowed half of this poison!"

"Just wait until the sugar coating on the surface melts... Hehe, some people won't even have time to cry!"

Looking at the pretty villainous beauty in front of him, Song Wenxuan, who had just rushed over from the magic capital, rolled his eyes: "By the way, big sister... isn't your move really a gift for the other party?"

Wan Qingyi looked at him contemptuously: "You men who don't understand women, don't even know the horror of my trump card!"

"How many young girls today are not vain?"

"Compared to the hard work of starving after emptying their wallets, what they can't accept is that they spend money and become fools in the eyes of others!"

Song Wenxuan, who just completed the achievement of killing thousands of people this year, sneered: "Who are you looking down on? Who said I don't understand women anymore... Aren't those little girls just unable to accept the embarrassment of bumping their shirts and bags?"

Although his mouth was hard, but he gradually came back to it, and couldn't help giving this aunt a thumbs up in his heart.

Whether it is Huixuanfang, Darobber.com, or those catering items, the biggest purchase reason for young female consumer groups is "fashion";

Yes, it is "purchase reason" rather than "selling point". The difference seems to be the same to ordinary people, but for people who play business, the former is more than ten times better than the latter.

But "fashion" must meet several conditions:

1. Value empowerment, and there is a value logic chain that can be justified.

2. Minority;

3. Scarcity;

4. Effective conversion between commodities and social currency.

In short, you only need to know about "fashion", that is, props that can be used to fool people and show yourself superior to others.

This is also the core driving force behind projects such as Huixuanfang that can quickly snatch young female members from Gongyou's Home - after all, these days, everyone has begun to think that they are little fairies, and they are determined to be unbearable. ".

However, if one day, you find that what you wear, step on, shoulder, and eat are all bad street goods, and many of them are "coquettish and cheap" in your eyes... then 1 minute of embarrassment and anger will definitely make you want to take off your clothes and burn them on the spot.

Unfortunately, Wan Qingyi's "one-piece delivery" was the catalyst that accelerated this tragic scene.

Think about it, what will happen when starting an online store and doing business becomes a breeze and risk-free? ...Of course, countless ordinary people rushed into DaBian.com to set up shop!

How to solve the problem of supply when all the people who have no resources at all set up shop on Darobber.com? …Naturally, look for pictures and links from merchants with good quality, trendy styles, and dropshipping services!

What will happen when everyone finds this type of business to link to? ...Then of course, the entire Thief Net is full of a bunch of identical products, and even the offline Huixuanfang and the "Come Shopping" in the shopping mall are all these products. (According to the selection rules of e-commerce, these clothing and bags are all selected from the styles with the best sales and ratings on Darobber.com.)

When the exposure of products on the website tends to be polarized, those merchants who cannot provide a dropshipping service can only sink in the corner, and then watch those top merchants fight with their left hands and right hands, constantly pushing The old, the old, and the new, while constantly developing and growing, have firmly grasped the right to speak aesthetically?

What if I told you that those merchants who provide a dropshipping business have secretly accepted the capital injection of Zhutou Trading?

What if these merchants wait until they have stabilized their head positions and gradually slow down the update speed of new products for various reasons, or even stop updating new products? ... At that time, will there be a phenomenon of bumping shirts all over the street?After young female consumers feel that they are being treated as fools, will their fans turn to black, and they will spray shit on projects such as Dadao.com and Huixuanfang?

What?You said Darobber.com can support businesses by themselves? ... What if Zhutou Trading, which has already controlled the absolute voice in the e-commerce logistics market, refuses to provide low-cost dropshipping services to emerging merchants?

Do you spend a lot of money and at least two or three years to set up your own logistics team for post-book delivery, or let those c-store owners whose business is getting harder and harder to sell at a higher price than others? Similar products?

What?You said that when the time comes to support a group of merchants and produce a group of clothing and leather goods exclusively for offline o2o business? ... Please, don't you know what kind of piss the Chinese people are?If there is no technical barrier, as soon as you launch offline, do you believe that within three days, the exact same product as yours will appear online immediately, with a lower price and better quality?When the time comes to expose it, how can you embarrass those consumers who buy offline?

All in all, once you use a dropshipping business to support a group of top merchants in the early stage, unless you can watch tens of thousands of c-store owners withdraw from the big thief network, you can only knock your teeth out Tun——But obviously, normal people can't do this. You must know that once a large number of merchants withdraw from the network, the project that needs to be explained to investors, such as the big bandit network, will definitely fall apart immediately.

And the most vicious part of this trick is that it uses the chain reaction brought about by the logistics advantages of Zhutou Trading, and it is stuck in the neck of the "fashion gene" of these fashion products-once these products with no brand at all are no longer With scarcity and niche, more than 90% of young women will immediately abandon these products and the places where these products are sold.

Thinking of this, Song Wenxuan couldn't help sighing... Judging from the other party's reaction, there should be no young women or playboys like himself in the senior management over there, otherwise they wouldn't just look at Wan Qingyi foolishly. The fire was thrown into the dry pyre without any movement.

Tsk tsk~ After I go back, shouldn't I also let the turtledove network have a few more young female executives?Otherwise, when the time comes, someone else will be so shady, and I don't know how to die.

Just as Song Wenxuan was thinking wildly, Wan Qingyi suddenly asked: "About Penguin, aren't they testing the new service of QQ group...how is it going?"

Song Wenxuan immediately came to his senses when he heard the words: "Well, it's being tested, and it's estimated that it will be officially launched in two or three months."

Two or three months? ?

Wan Qingyi looked at the bleak autumn outside, and shook his head: "After you go back, go talk to the horse penguin, and ask him to quickly launch the QQ group - if there are any bugs, we will modify them as we go." It's all right!"

Hearing Wan Qingyi's intolerable tone, Song Wenxuan was a little puzzled: "Isn't it just a group chat function, why are you in such a hurry?"

Wan Qingyi shook his head: "You don't understand, this function has important tactical significance for catalyzing the spread of a purchasing agent business!"

Saying that, Xiaohua sneered coldly: "When the QQ group function is launched, we will immediately organize people to act as group leaders, and bring in more people who want to start their own businesses, and share some [chosen] by the way." Cargo Raiders];”

"Hmph, I heard that in order to digest the production capacity of certain companies, Darobber.com is now planning to expand the food category?... Coincidentally, I have also contacted a large number of food companies here!"

Seeing Wan Qingyi's tendency to turn into a demon, Song Wenxuan couldn't help but shuddered, and immediately jumped up: "By the way, I haven't seen Boss Yang for a long time, you should be busy first, I'll go and chat with him! "

Seeing Song Wenxuan fleeing through the door, Wan Qingyi couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled. Hearing the familiar name, his expression couldn't help being a little gloomy.

My lover, recently, seems to have a kind of intentional or unintentional alienation from me;

Is it because of the matter of delegating power to vent your anger on yourself?

Or……

He's tired of himself?

Looking at the red, yellow, and yellow poplar leaves that slipped quietly from the air downstairs, Wan Qingyi lost his mind all of a sudden...
