Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 110: Li Mubai still has her in his heart!

"Merciless Iron Fist, Crippling Strike, Slaughter the Four Corners, Xinei!"

"Mubai, how cool was that move!"

Li Mubai controlled the Wind Girl - Yasuo and placed a ward in the river bush in the middle lane. Helplessly, he laughed and said in the game voice chat, "Yeah, it was cool, but did you hear me? The blind girl from the other side is coming!"

Lin Jiajia's voice abruptly stopped because the small icon of the blind girl from the opposite side had already appeared on the mini-map in the bottom right corner of the computer screen.

"Dodge her, position yourself, avoid her Q, save your E!" Li Mubai continuously clicked the right mouse button, calculating the maximum distance for his ultimate ability, "Intolerable Iron Fist."

"I can do it, I can!" Lin Jiajia controlled the Noxian Blade Sister in the top lane, constantly maneuvering around the blind girl from the opposite side using the minions and bushes.

"Lalala!"

The ultimate ability of Yasuo, the Wind Girl, was about to encompass the blind monk from the opposite side. Li Mubai urged anxiously.

With another merciless Iron Fist, Li Mubai immediately followed up with his ultimate ability. The blind monk from the opposite side was instantly suspended in the air. Li Mubai stood in front of the Noxian Blade Sister, using basic attacks followed by Steel Tempest and Ignite. The blind monk girl from the opposite side's health plummeted.

It was at this moment...

Li Mubai's own minions in the top lane once again died, and the blind monk from the opposite side went from level 5 directly to level 6.

As her health increased, it meant that the blind monk from the opposite side had obtained her ultimate ability!

In an instant, the blind monk girl from the opposite side kicked Li Mubai's controlled Yasuo directly, crashing into the Noxian Blade Sister.

A double kill!

The Noxian Blade Sister, Noxus's Blade Sister, immediately fell to the ground, unwilling to let go of the blackened map.

"Mubai, I messed up."

Li Mubai used his E skill, Audacious Charge, once again to approach the blind monk girl from the opposite side. He used Wind Wall, followed by basic attacks and Steel Tempest.

With the transfer of the red and blue buffs, Li Mubai, as the Wind Girl, successfully gained 300 gold!

The enemy Cassiopeia arrived late, and the half-injured Li Mubai had already used the minions to E back to the tower in the top lane.

Without Ignite and his ultimate ability, Li Mubai calmly pressed the B key and returned to the base.

"It's okay, I'm fed this time. Watch the Wind Girl carry."

Lin Jiajia sighed once again.

She had just gotten excited, got a level 6, and unreasonably went to fight the enemy top laner, Fiora. Although she successfully solo killed the opponent, her health was already too low. She couldn't afford to take any risks and attack the blind monk girl, fearing that it would trigger Bloodlust.

Back at their own fountain, Li Mubai successfully bought a Phantom Dancer, instantly increasing his critical strike chance to 50%.

In high-level games, the difference in last-hitting can lead to a snowball effect, not to mention Li Mubai's significant equipment advantage and the red and blue double buffs. With this, the Wind Girl officially began gliding around the Rift.

Thirty minutes later, after three successful sieges on the enemy's high ground, the game ended with laughter and cheers.

"Let's stop here tonight. I have to tutor that child tomorrow morning."

Tomorrow morning at 9:30, Li Mubai had to go to Zhou Ziqing's place to tutor her, and it would end at 12:30 noon.

"Yeah." Although Lin Jiajia was reluctant, it was already 11:30 at night. They had agreed to play two games, but they had already played three.

Exiting the game voice chat, Li Mubai took off his headphones and stretched lazily.

While playing the game just now, Li Mubai asked Lin Jiajia if Lin Jiayin hadn't returned home yet tonight.

In terms of time, Lin Jiayin should be arriving soon. Li Mubai planned to take a shower first.

Just as he arrived in the living room, the doorbell rang.

He opened the door for Lin Jiayin and sat on the sofa, waiting for two minutes.

The doorbell rang.

"She's here." Li Mubai opened the door and looked at Lin Jiayin.

Lin Jiayin seemed genuinely busy, looking tired.

Li Mubai helped Lin Jiayin take out her slippers, then returned to the living room to pour her a glass of water.

"Thank you."

Li Mubai smiled and said, "You're too polite."

Lin Jiayin gave Li Mubai a bitter smile, and the more he seemed at ease, the more uneasy she felt.

"Is it work-related? You're getting off work so late?"

Lin Jiayin's expression became more serious. "Yes, it's about brand extension and acquiring a logistics company. There's been a lot going on recently..."

"Tell me about it. Maybe I can help." Li Mubai smiled.

Lin Jiayin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

She still had absolute trust in Li Mubai.

"There have been many challenges recently, one is offline stores, and the other is the express delivery aspect..."

Although implicit, Lin Jiayin made it clear that Yun Wuyue had caused her a lot of trouble.

After all, both she and Yun Wuyue were crossing industries. Originally, with the presence of giants, they could enter with capital and at most wait for annual dividends.

But obviously, Yun Wuyue didn't just want simple dividends.

She really intended to compete with Lin Jiayin.

Because Lin Jiayin's main business was in the cosmetics manufacturing industry, sales were a secondary part, inevitably involving dealings with e-commerce platforms and the use of express delivery services.

So Lin Jiayin had to pay attention to the express delivery business.

But Yun Wuyue forcefully entered and insisted on investing money, causing the already established express delivery companies to raise their prices, resulting in Lin's Group wasting money.

This was what bothered Lin Jiayin.

Should she negotiate with Yun Wuyue? Judging from the situation, it seemed unlikely.

After all, no matter how you looked at it, Yun Wuyue seemed to be playing a childish game, but it was effective.

And Lin Jiayin didn't want to negotiate at all, although... Although they competed in the business world, they both understood that it was not worth competing with each other...

Li Mubai nodded thoughtfully.

When he came back earlier, he took advantage of the time spent loading the game to familiarize himself with the current state of the e-commerce and express delivery industries in this world.

In this world, it was the year 3009, and the rules related to postal services had been revised.

The express delivery business finally gained recognition.

Just like salt in ancient times, without regulations, private businesses were not allowed to sell it.

Before this, the express delivery business had some gray areas.

Similarly, e-commerce also started from here. It has only just risen in the past three years, but it has developed much faster than Li Mubai's previous life, thanks to the maturity of the related industry chain.

However, entering the market now still holds great potential as long as it is handled properly.

"Why not try a different approach?" Li Mubai said softly.

"A different approach?" Lin Jiayin looked at Li Mubai, tilting her head.

"Yes." Li Mubai smiled as he thought about the operational concept of Jingdong in his previous life. "Like you, Jiayin, and Wuyue, you are already at the top of a circle. Every time a new circle appears, you want to test the limits of the giants in other circles, let the emerging small companies compete with each other first, and then choose the acquisition model."

This is the most commonly used method by business tycoons, and it is also the most time and effort-saving method.

Because it only requires money to solve the problem.

Lin Jiayin frowned, contemplating the meaning behind Li Mubai's words.

"Now that you have decided to create derivative brands and establish offline stores, why not collaborate with other brands and establish a new e-commerce platform that focuses on the high-end brand effect, and then use it to rebuild a new logistics empire?"

"A new logistics empire?" Lin Jiayin murmured, somewhat shocked by Li Mubai's ambitious idea.

"Yes." Li Mubai nodded casually. "Whether direct stores or franchise e-commerce platforms are better, there is no definitive answer now. The future trend may be that e-commerce cannot surpass direct stores, or it may be that e-commerce surpasses direct stores. There is no answer now, so it is best to do both at the same time. Since you have decided to do offline and e-commerce, you naturally need to solve the foundation of e-commerce - logistics.

Jiayin, or any other capital, is used to allowing a new circle to develop wildly and then directly acquire it, which is simple and straightforward, but... it also has its drawbacks."

"What drawbacks?"

"If you personally start from the bottom of this circle, you will be better than these emerging small companies because... you have money." Li Mubai shrugged with a smile.

This is inevitable. When a new company starts, the first problem it faces is funding. The person in charge also has to consider the issue of money in order to provide services to customers based on money.

But what if a giant company wants to start from the bottom of this circle?

Then... the game will naturally be different.

"Logistics also has different price levels. There are high and low options. One is to tolerate slightly worse delivery services but with cheaper prices, and the other is to choose more reliable services with slightly higher prices. Jiayin, haven't you noticed that currently, 90% of small companies still choose the former... and there are not even two companies willing to use airplanes for delivery? Why is that? It's precisely because they don't have money~"

Li Mubai took a sip of warm water and continued, "There is no denying that both of these logistics options have a market because customers' choices vary with the price of each purchase. But if you have already decided on derivative brands and brand strategies, then naturally, it is better to establish a second logistics model on your own. Moreover, when you expand in the future, you can also play with price wars and such."

Lin Jiayin contemplated Li Mubai's forward-thinking and bold ideas, feeling somewhat amazed.

He felt that Li Mubai's thinking in the business field was incredibly clear.

"Let me give you a simple example. It's not worth making a big fuss about just cosmetics and derivative clothing products. But if you can unite various brands that have already established their own brand effects in household appliances, computers, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc., and establish a common product warehouse in cities marked on the national map, then this noble logistics will naturally be worthwhile.

After all, the people on this land of over nine million square kilometers are also stratified."

The last sentence directly awakened Lin Jiayin.

She took a deep breath, her eyes brightening, and whispered, "Are you suggesting taking the high-end route? Changing everything from head to toe with a new facade?"

"Yes, unite multiple brands and establish a direct delivery service for your joint brands. You don't need any other slogans, just one word: fast. Same-province orders will be delivered within a day, and inter-province orders will be delivered the next day... With this model, Wuyue... should not be able to stop you. She wants to integrate low-priced courier companies, so you can pretend to be unwilling on the surface but secretly give it to her. And as the noble logistics develops, if you want more, you can also invest in low-priced courier companies for more shares."

As Lin Jiayin contemplated the follow-up of this matter, her eyes became increasingly serious.

Finally, she understood what Li Mubai had said before.

A new logistics empire!

".々I will establish logistics-related services under the umbrella of the joint brands, but logistics will be independent!"

Li Mubai nodded, smiling cunningly. "Yes, that's right. Just like the current giant company, Ali Baby. Baby online shopping, baby payment, it's called baby, but it's actually independent!"

Baby Pay has never belonged to Ali Baby, it belongs to Baby Jinfu, and Baby Jinfu, in turn, belongs to Junhan and Junao, two enterprise holdings. However, Junhan and Junao, these two enterprises, are both wholly owned by Mayunyun herself, so...

Baby Pay belongs to Mayunyun, not Ali Baby!

Lin Jiayin chuckled, understanding the structure between these companies and enterprises.

She understood Li Mubai's meaning even more. The logistics empire she built belonged to her, Lin Jiayin, and had nothing to do with the joint brand platform.

But upon further thought, Lin Jiayin felt very tempted.

She had spent the whole afternoon discussing plans with the executives in the conference room, but Li Mubai's solution in just a few minutes seemed more practical.

"I'll go take a shower first. I'm just an amateur, so treat it as my imagination," Li Mubai stood up and slowly walked towards the bathroom.

Lin Jiayin sat on the sofa, her eyes shining.

Was Li Mubai's suggestion feasible?

It was absolutely feasible!

Starting from the customers' needs, directly targeting her own customer base, and using it as the foundation to develop a strategic layout.

Whether it was product warehouses in major cities in China or this aristocratic logistics model, it could be considered absolute innovation.

It might be difficult for others, but for someone like Lin Jiayin who had both connections and funds.

It just required time.

Seize the time, formulate strategies, and implement the layout!

Moreover...

Once the model took shape, if she also engaged in a price war, it would likely make it very difficult for Yun Wuyue's logistics after integration.

Taking a deep breath.

A gleam flashed in Lin Jiayin's eyes. She felt like she had discovered another shining point of Li Mubai.

Li Mubai not only had vision in business, but also had genius-like ideas.

Not to mention anything else, just tonight's discussion about the relationship between e-commerce and logistics, as well as the solutions proposed based on her current situation, Lin Jiayin felt that Li Mubai would be more than capable of being the CEO of her company.

Narrowing her eyes, Lin Jiayin had already made up her mind.

In tomorrow morning's meeting, she would discuss Li Mubai's new idea. If it was feasible, she would make a business plan and start executing it tomorrow.

In addition...

Lin Jiayin planned to give Li Mubai 50% of the newly created logistics-related shares.

If it really succeeded...

According to her estimation, at least the valuation of this logistics-related business would be worth several hundred million.

By then, Li Mubai would truly be standing at the same level as her!

Listening to the sound of running water inside, Lin Jiayin's eyes sparkled.

Indeed, Li Mubai still had a place in her heart!

She decided to serve Li Mubai well tonight!
