After rebirth, I want to destroy my original family

The city managers conference was held on Wednesday, and managers from various cities flew to Jinan.

With 5 million yuan in hand, Ele.bu is making a lot of noise in the market with a fierce momentum. The feelings of these city managers are the most direct. They originally thought that the agenda this time was to deal with Ele.bu, but after arriving, they found that the agenda was to promote the group buying supply chain.

The afternoon sun was gentle, and the east wind blew into the group headquarters, sweeping over the pothos on the windowsill and swaying gently.

The intern from the group buying logistics department came in and poured water for each manager sitting there. Gu Ming's voice kept ringing in the conference room.

"Each platform has its own style of play and rhythm, but we cannot be substituted by our friends into their rhythm."

“Remember, the purpose of doing business is not to be brave and aggressive, but to stay calm, focus on money, and obtain sufficient profits.”

"The group-buying supply chain has been well established in 12-tier cities. We will continue to expand into lower-tier cities and try to sign merchants into our supply chain based on the region as a whole."

"When we did group buying before, we maintained good relationships with merchants in various business districts. Let's use them as representatives to establish a supply side for takeout."

"Uncle Ma's 5 million is very tempting. I want to know how much I can get."

Gu Ming's expression was indifferent, but his eyes were bright, as if he had smelled the scent of money.

Kou Jing and Liu Shuran looked at him from the side and thought that the boss was no longer acting. In the past, he would consider it lost if he didn't pick up money when he went out, but now he wants all the investments from others.

After the meeting, sub-stations across the country started to move. The kings of local promotion began to appear in the streets and alleys, using WeChat as a base to establish supply groups and include merchants who needed food supplies.

Every field salesperson is now a merchant manager.

Gu Ming also has KPI requirements for them, asking them to try their best to ensure that enough merchants join within the scope of business they are responsible for.

At the same time, Tonight's Headlines also pushed supply chain advertisements to some groups defined as "catering practitioners" by algorithms on local news channels in various regions.

In the era of takeout, small stores have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. However, because of their small size, it is difficult to find high-quality and low-priced supply channels. Group-joining and open supply chain contracts are like the rain of a severe drought.

In the following period of time, trucks with group-buying supply chains kept speeding into designated locations and delivering ingredients to the store through the back door.

The perfect ingredients require only simple cooking, and are then delivered from the merchant's front door to the rider, yellow or blue.

After the contracts reached a certain scale and a complete supply network was formed in 1 first-tier cities, group food delivery started to take action.

Make discounts and burn money!

Advertisements for group-buying takeout were once again rolled out online and offline, as if they were afraid that others would not see them.

If it breaks, he will burn money!

If you are hungry, you will immediately head on and start subsidizing activities.

There is no way, they have just gained an advantage after getting the investment, and the rhythm they have finally driven cannot be stopped here.

During the entire promotion process, Gu Ming didn’t care much about how much the group-buying takeout business grew, but the profits of the group-buying supply chain soared and the business volume increased rapidly.

Alibaba did not inject funds and provide merchant subsidies for Hungry. The order volume surged due to market stimulation. Merchants increased the scale of procurement, and the group supply chain worked hard to swallow up orders.

To simplify, Alibaba injected funds into the group buying supply chain.

As the supervisor in Beijing, Ye Ziqing has to supervise the completion of KPIs and check the business volume of each segment every day.

At this moment, she deeply felt what Zhao Jing told her when they were doing group buying in Shanghai.

【Group buying is just a platform】

No matter how big the platform is, all it can take away is the commission from the merchants under it, which is like putting all its eggs in one basket.

But even if you don’t take these commissions in the current group building, you will still have enough profit points.

At this time, the transportation pressure of Hengtong Freight also began to increase dramatically, and the current transportation capacity has reached its limit.

"Boss, Mr. Li called and said that they acquired a logistics company and a seafood supply company, and their funds are a bit tight."

"Invest another sum of money, and let Xu Yu handle this matter."

"Are you still doing the activities from the previous period?"

"Go ahead, keep spending, and get all of Uncle Ma's 5 million. I believe that when all of this money is used up, it should be able to create a larger supply network for us."

"clear."

The booming e-commerce industry has led to the overall growth of the logistics industry, with SF Express, 3Tong, and various logistics companies becoming increasingly stronger.

Hengtong Freight does not have the scale of these companies yet, but its profitability is three times that of Shunfeng. This is mainly because e-commerce logistics is too competitive and the unit price cannot be raised. If it wants to increase profitability, it can only continue to expand its scale.

However, as the only designated partner of the group buying supply chain, Hengtong Freight certainly does not have such concerns, and with the continued development of Internet business, this gap will become wider and wider.

Young Master Li is a weirdo. He doesn’t have the diseases of a second-generation rich man, but he really has the fate of a second-generation rich man…

In the afternoon, Wen Jinrui ran to the school with Kou Jing's investment contract and asked Gu Ming to sign it.

Young Master Li was standing right next to them, holding a grilled sausage in his mouth, standing on tiptoe with a loser-like demeanor.

After defending his thesis, his daily routine consisted of visiting Xue Jia in the lab, playing games, or wandering around, looking very carefree.

He had just returned from the laboratory, his lips were red, and as soon as he entered the door, he was attracted by the contract in Gu Ming's hand.

"what is this?"

"Uncle is investing money in your family again."

Young Master Li was so dizzy when he saw the string of zeros in the contract: "Old Gu, let me tell you the truth, Hengtong Freight will definitely be taken over by me in the future, why don't we skip the steps in between and just give me the money directly!"

Gu Ming raised his mouth: "I give you so much money, will you be touched?"

"I'm so moved that I tremble!" Young Master Li began to tremble as he spoke.

Gu Ming hummed: "Then will you treat me to a meal?"

"I'll treat you to a full banquet."

"In that case, let's just skip the step of paying. Lao Li, please treat me to a meal."

Li Minghe held his breath, immediately showed an expression of "sorry to bother you", and left quietly.

At this time, Gu Ming signed the contract and gave it to Wen Jinrui. At the same time, the company's payday had arrived, and there was a salary slip that needed his approval.

Logically speaking, paying salaries is the responsibility of the finance department, and the boss does not need to ask about it. However, there is one employee whose salary slip needs to be approved by the boss personally every time. This employee, who enjoys treatment that no other 1 startup employees can enjoy, is the sugar-loving Zhong Wenjing.

Three hours later, Zhong Wenjing looked at her salary slip and fell into deep thought.

"Why is it gone again? What did I do again?!"

Zhong Wenjing was so angry that she took out her phone and called Gu Ming: "Gu Ming, why is my salary 0 again this month!"

A dog barked from Gu Ming's phone: "You know it in your heart!"

"????"

Zhong Wenjing was dumbfounded. You were busy writing papers and attending meetings recently, and I haven't seen you at all.

Thinking of this, Zhong Wenjing turned her head to the right. Near the glass window, Zhou Xiaoyao was sitting there looking at his mobile phone.

She wore a white short-sleeved shirt and washed denim shorts today, with her long, smooth hair tied into a ponytail, and she exuded an innocent and lively temperament.

Zhong Wenjing walked over and glanced at her phone screen.

Zhou Xiaoyao was reading Gu Ming's news and saving all the nice pictures on her mobile phone.

Seeing Zhong Wenjing coming over, she couldn't help but raise her little face with a dazed expression.

"Gu Ming has deducted all my salary again. Although I don't know what I have done, I believe you must have a bonus to give me."

Zhou Xiaoyao narrowed her eyes and thought for a while, then reached out to open her bag and took out her small wallet: "Don't tell my brother."

Zhong Wenjing's face wrinkled up: "I don't even know what happened, you can let me kowtow once."

"I do not know either."

Zhou Xiaoyao looked scared because she had too many evil thoughts and couldn't figure out where she was exposed.

After listening to this, Zhong Wenjing nodded and said, "Okay, okay, you two have been testing the boundaries of friendship all day long. I don't know anything, but I feel very involved."

At this moment, the loudspeaker placed at the front desk suddenly sounded, reminding him that there was a new group takeout order and asking her to process it in time.

She walked over to take the order and found that the group buying discount was 6% off on top of the original discount.

Ordinary people don't know what this discount means, but it has undoubtedly brought the entire competition in the takeout market to a fierce stage.

"Are you still following the group tour?"

"Not only are they following, they have also started offering discounts. In addition to takeout, their daily specials are also on sale all day long."

Zhang Xuhao felt a little numb after hearing this.

Pintuan is not the one who likes to spend money, but this time it seems to be determined to follow him to the end.

Although Hungry didn't get more funds, he still felt frightened when hundreds of millions were thrown into the market every day.

The entire Internet business community was also watching this scene, feeling uneasy about the confrontation between the two companies.

To be honest, the amount of money burned in the takeout war has so far been equal to that in the group buying war.

People in the circle have been discussing this matter all day long, and there are a lot of discussions about Gu Ming's sudden increase in investment. Some people say that group food delivery companies should take advantage of this opportunity to completely seize all market share.

But some people expressed confusion, thinking that behind us are Tencent and Alibaba. No matter how rich our capital is, can we compare with these two big companies?

It was not until half a month after the money-burning war that the president of Jingdong received a report from Jingdong Logistics and immediately forwarded it.

While burning money on its food delivery platform, Hengtong Freight acquired three logistics companies and built five new warehouses that integrate warehousing and rough processing capabilities, and is currently undergoing digital transformation.

"Their goal is not to be hungry at all, they hope to use the huge order volume to expand their logistics line!"

The president of Shunfeng couldn't help but jump out: "Group buying supply chain has always been one of the most profitable projects of the entire group buying. After this period of expansion, its current profitability may have caught up with Shunfeng."
