Rebirth 07 Becomes the First Internet Celebrity.

"We should be able to meet some agents and distributors this time. We will try to find some offline sales channels for Zhujian. I don't know if a week will be enough. The software I asked Lu Rang to order for the distribution platform has been finished recently. I asked Li Chao to find someone to try it out. You can also try it out. If there are any functional issues, ask Lu Rang to fix them."

"Well, I'll follow up. Be careful on the road."

Speaking of distribution software, after a period of time, there are now more than 3,000 registered store owners and more than 500 store owners who have become members.

It was just a website before, and later a forum for communication was built. Now the sellers in the forum are quite active every day.

Many novices who want to open an online store but have no source of goods find their website. They have manufacturers in multiple categories and can provide competitive dropshipping products at prices lower than the market price. They have tutorials and experience in the forum and currently have a certain reputation among store owners.

However, with the emergence of Taobao's own distribution platform function and the establishment of the 1688 wholesale website, it is estimated that there will be an impact on this platform, so Jiang Xue and her brother explained their conjecture.

Liu Qinglin has always been in charge of the distribution platform. When the platform was first created, there was no intention to make a profit. It was just to increase a sales channel for their products. However, as it has developed to the present, with the increase in consignment store owners and manufacturers, Liu Qinglin has assigned three employees to the website to specifically handle the content maintenance of the platform and the management of the forum.

Having employees means fixed monthly expenses, so we later updated the paid membership version and some functions became paid functions.

The free functions of the website can actually be used normally by stores, but they are castrated versions with restrictions. If you want unlimited use, becoming a member is the best option.

The agency membership fee is 498 per year. Although it is not much, it is enough for daily software maintenance, expenses, and development costs.

In addition, the forum also generates some advertising revenue.

Gradually, it became profitable.

The reason why Liu Qinglin asked Lu Rang to spend money to customize the software was that he felt that although platforms like Taobao would definitely build their own distribution platforms in the future, relying on their own resources and launching related functions, they would swallow up most of the market.

However, no news has been released yet. On the contrary, all official documents or news this year show that the country is vigorously advocating the development of e-commerce. In addition to buying things online and developing consumption habits, many ordinary people also want to open stores.

Not everyone has the supply resources. Without supply, the word "drop shipping" appears in front of these people and solves their immediate problems.

This is also the reason why their membership is increasing.

Maybe many newbies paid the membership fee, but quit after not making any profit for a while.

Or some store owners persisted and began to switch from shipping on behalf of others to preparing and shipping the goods themselves.

Many members have left, but more will come in the future.

He still feels quite optimistic.

They have more and more members, so some functions need to be upgraded. The current revenue is sufficient to support it, so Liu Qinglin thinks they can give it a try by investing in software development costs. Because of their pioneering nature, they may be able to capture a part of the customer base first.

Jiang Xue felt that what her brother was thinking might be right. Her brother had been managing the distribution platform since its inception. Jiang Xue did not participate in any operations and let her brother do whatever he wanted.

Jiang Xue also did not take any of the profits. She reinvested all the profits from the distribution platform or used them for daily expenses. Even if there were big profits in the future, they would be the hard-earned money of her brother.

Jiang Xue had not received any share of the profits from her brother's online store. The money her brother helped her with was far greater than the income from this.

Liu Qinglin also knew that she was not short of money, so he did not insist on giving a portion to Jiang Xue as he did before.

Instead, he knew that his sister was in school and took over all the affairs of the cosmetics company.

The cosmetics company is basically managed by her brother. She is responsible for the marketing of his own online account and occasionally provides some business suggestions.

The others were completely hands-off. Xu Wenyang was busy with research and development. He was in the laboratory every day, dealing with raw material formulators. As the company's order volume grew and the number of employees increased, all the responsibilities fell on Liu Qinglin.

From small matters like recruiting staff and various expenditures to big matters like ordering materials and supervising cooperation with OEM factories, Liu Qinglin handles everything.

Zhu Jian has been developing steadily, and his brother has played a big role in this. Because he has done so much, Jiang Xue can be so free and have the energy to do other things, and she can feel at ease without having to worry.

Although brothers have to settle accounts clearly, they can also help each other and grow together.

In addition to taking care of Zhujian's affairs, Liu Qinglin also signed up to audit some management courses at a nearby university, and was busy every day.

His entire temperament, the way he treats people, and the feeling he gives people have changed drastically since when we first met.

His online store business is basically managed by Chen Hua, and a portion of the profits is given to Chen Hua. The distribution platform is managed by Li Chao, who pretended to be Yu Juan's boyfriend in his hometown last time.

Li Chao is also a smart man. When he first came here, he was not responsible for such an important matter.

As soon as he arrived, Liu Qinglin arranged for him to make orders and ship goods, and manage warehouse inventory.

The salary is much higher than being a network administrator in my hometown.

He placed many orders for consignment delivery, and he began to think about opening a consignment delivery store.

But his workload is still quite heavy.

He also didn't want to stay in the warehouse all the time, with the printer and express delivery slips.

Do some work that does not require any technical skills.

He told Liu Qinglin about his idea, "Can I use our dropshipping software to open my own store?"

"After get off work, you can do whatever you want in your own time. It's not recommended during working hours." Based on Liu Qinglin's understanding of Li Chao, he has a high emotional intelligence and would not ask such questions for no reason. Therefore, Liu Qinglin did not show any special emotions after hearing it, but waited for his next words.

“I don’t want to open a store to make money. I think that if I open a store on the distribution platform, I can better provide some suggestions during use and the functions needed, which will facilitate the subsequent function updates.

Then I want to post on the forum to record data from the perspective and identity of an entrepreneur to attract people to use our platform. ”

"Not only that, I think I can open more accounts. There are many merchants in the group who sell on consignment and occasionally send data from their own stores. Our company also has its own online store, and the daily data is also very good. I have joined many Taobao groups, or posted on merchants' forums. I start with a picture and edit all the content."

"Advertisements posted in this way have impressive data backgrounds and can attract many people to pay attention to our distribution platform."

Liu Qinglin agreed with his idea.

Then Li Chao was transferred from the warehouse to manage the entire distribution platform.

Through his publicity and marketing.

More and more members are registering and paying.

The reason why Liu Qinglin developed software was also because Li Chao's management allowed the platform to have more and more members.
