Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1215: Troublemaker
"Boss, I'm not self-righteous. I have an accurate judgment of you. You are a profit-seeking person. You always weigh the pros and cons of everything. As long as I still have a significant role to play, you will tolerate my insolence."
Sophie speaks frivolously and confidently.
"Haha, I've already told you that you're self-righteous, but you're still being stubborn." Nan Yi patted Su Mei's arm and said with a smile, "You can be so presumptuous, your ability can only be said to be the icing on the cake, the key factor is your gender."
Su Mei chuckled and said, "Isn't it because of my eyes?"
"Snobbish?"
"What else? A wink?"
In addition to being charming, Su Mei's eyes also have a snobbish trick, which is a skill that a good salesperson must have, especially real estate sales.
Actually, there is nothing magical about it. It is nothing more than accurately judging the customer's financial strength through his or her clothes, whether it is a domestic brand or a world-famous brand. The most important thing here is to judge which people are rich but dress low-key, and which ones are poor but pretend to be rich.
Su Mei has sharp eyes. She can accurately identify wealthy people who try to be low-key. She can also identify clients by their words and deeds. If a client has already purchased a property elsewhere, often mentions a celebrity, or very naturally compares the property she is looking at with a place abroad, then she is most likely someone with a great background.
Another simpler trick is to judge the customer's identity and purchasing power by his or her ride. If he or she comes to view houses in a private car, he or she basically has purchasing intention; if he or she takes the bus or a taxi, he or she is basically here to compare prices; and if he or she takes a group car to view houses, the possibility that he or she is here to join in the fun and get a few drinks and air conditioning.
Don't think that renting a luxury car can escape Su Mei's eyes. The license plates of high-end cars from all the car rental companies in the city are all in her mind. It is not her turn to look at the person. She can exclude people from the list of potential customers just by looking at the car.
Of course, it is easier said than done. Whether you are looking at cars or people, you need to have knowledge, be well-informed, and have in-depth contact and conversations with all kinds of people, otherwise you will not be able to accurately classify people.
"You're not the only one who has a good eye. Be careful next time. It's not easy for anyone to buy a house. You have to save your whole life and still have to go into debt for decades. It's so annoying to buy an unfinished building. It's not easy for me either. If this happens a few more times, my coffin money will be gone."
"Boss, I don't believe you will pay this time." Su Mei blinked, "I guess He Zhengzhong is going to be in trouble. You must not let him off easily."
Nan Yi patted Su Mei's little face and said jokingly, "You are still too smart. To deal with people, you have to ask for help. The debt of favor is the hardest to repay. Who can say for sure whether it is a profit or a loss. Don't put those three houses on file for now. I may want to withdraw them."
"With the cost of three houses, no wonder you say you may not make money."
"You're too talkative." Nan Yi scolded with a smile: "If you still haven't found a long-term meal ticket, I'll take you to a party someday. All the people who can go are pretty much the same. Pick the one you like and marry him."
"Forget it. Which rich man is willing to marry me? If he really wants to marry me, he would think that I would work for him for nothing. Boss, I won't spare you from worrying about my marriage." Su Mei held Nan Yi's hand and deliberately said, "Boss, if you are in need of a lover, I don't mind being your mistress."
"This is good flattery, it's cool and perfect for the hot autumn weather. I'll eat it. You don't have to make a fuss anymore. Go and bring the house purchase contract over so I can take a look at it."
Su Mei gathered her fingers into claws and gently stroked Nan Yi's chest, saying coquettishly, "I'm serious."
Nan Yi glanced at Su Mei and said, "I'm going to give you a serious slap in the face later, and you're still excited. Hurry up and go."
"Boss, are you unable to do it? Any other man would have pounced on him long ago." Without waiting for Nan Yi to retort, Su Mei had already let go of Nan Yi's hand, giggled and ran away.
Nan Yi could only shake his head helplessly.
After a while, Su Mei came back with three contracts. Nan Yi took a look at them, handed the contract back and left.
In the next two days, Nan Yi was busy with Daguoniu's business: he went to Peking University and its neighbor to find international students with beautiful feet and calves, both male and female, in black, white and brown; he went to Beijing Film Vocational College to find a photography student who had shot commercials in the past; he spent a day to find people, pieced together a team, and shot a not-too-complicated VCR commercial.
In order to save money, a student who had studied post-production at an art college was found to do the post-production. Nan Yi would verbally tell him the creative requirements and he would be responsible for their realization.
While shooting the VCR, the product pictures were also being taken at the same time. The photographers and cutouts were still college students with certain professional skills. Nan Yi took care of the brand story and product introduction copy himself. He had a lot of knowledge and could do it easily. In less than two hours, all the products were finished.
Xiao Zhou was responsible for uploading the products, and he found a designer from the Internet to design the product introduction. He asked the designer to work all night and come up with three template drafts in one night. Nan Yi explained his ideas to Xiao Zhou and personally turned the drafts into code, allowing Xiao Zhou to replace the product pictures and introductions.
As the major shareholder, Nan Yi is extremely busy, so the two small shareholders naturally cannot let them sit idle. Du Wenhua has to take clothes to the clothing stores every night, and Xue Xiaomin has to come to the office during lunch break and in the evening to take charge of logistics work, including cleaning, buying water and fast food, and assisting Xiao Zhou with translation and proofreading.
The target customer groups of cross-border e-commerce are only Europe and North America, and other regions are not served for the time being. The website will use technical means to block IP access outside these two places, and advertising will also be placed only in these two regions.
The website will have four language versions: English, French, Portuguese and German. Since there has just been a Vancouver shoe scandal in Spain, we will not consider this market for the time being.
Everything was going on in full swing. When it came to the evening of the fifth day, Nan Yi uploaded SmartBox (Fashion Cabinet), the first website that he would probably spend a lot of effort to operate in the future, to the server. He then launched Adam keyword advertising and performed SEO optimization for search engine rankings.
In this way, Daguoniu’s first cross-border e-commerce business has started to operate.
Du Wenhua has also achieved some results. Three clothing stores want to try to purchase some goods. When delivering the goods, they not only want the goods but also a customs clearance certificate.
Of course there is no problem with that. Not to mention the customs clearance certificate, even the video of the wholesale goods from Dongdaemun can be attached. I’m just afraid that the clothing store owner won’t dare to take it.
The customs clearance certificate is the weight for increasing the price. Nan Yi estimates that at least twice the profit will be added to each piece of clothing. The wholesale price of a hundred yuan will probably be 388, 488, or even 588 or 888 yuan in the hands of consumers. Without this little profit, who would sell clothes?
In order to make it easier for clothing store owners to brag and to promote Du culture, Nan Yi compiled a set of documents, moved the origin of the clothing to high-end department stores in Seoul, and simulated the entire process of wholesale clothing in Seoul through text. As long as the clothing store owners knew it by heart, they could fool even the guests who had traveled to Seoul.
As for e-commerce, you have to start with storytelling, brand stories, product features, and all kinds of gorgeous product details. Most of them are written by planners, some of whom have never seen the actual product. They just think hard based on the product pictures and pile up all kinds of seemingly reasonable but actually bullshit words.
…
Saturday came again in a blink of an eye. Xue Xiaomin was sent by Nan Yi to Huaqiangbei to learn about the wholesale prices of several electronic products. He also went to Yangcheng to learn about several watches that could compete head-on with Swiss products.
Du Wenhua continued to sell clothes, while Nan Yi had some free time. He supervised the creation of a second website called "MadeIn" that mainly sold electronic products. Afterwards, he began to write a plan for HiWeigou's third major project.
The melamine problem has already broken out, but its impact is mainly overseas and has not exploded in the dairy industry.
There was bound to be an explosion. Ever since Tieshan Dairy came into being, Dairy Farmer brand milk and milk powder have been sold in the domestic market. Ever since Tieshan Dairy joined in the formulation of industry standards, it has been continuously issuing warnings within the industry to be careful of melamine. However, the result was that Tieshan Dairy became the dog catching a rat. No one paid attention to the warning, and Tieshan Dairy even got into some trouble.
For the safety of dairy products, Tieshan Dairy has been strictly monitoring the dairy cow breeding from the source and has strict requirements for everything. Under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, the dairy farmers who had previously cooperated with Tieshan Dairy terminated their cooperation with the company on the grounds that the money was too little and the work was too much.
This is what Tieshan Dairy wants. It no longer has to abide by the agreement to support dairy farmers signed with the local government of Saibei. Shennong Nanliang directly provides all-round support and establishes the most advanced dairy cattle breeding base for Tieshan Dairy in Saibei. In this way, Tieshan Dairy's production environment is completely under its own control, and the production process is implemented according to the second standard after Nan's Xiaozao's first global standard.
We cannot say that Dairy Farmer brand dairy products are the best in the world, but they are definitely products that people can trust. If any child has problems after eating the products, Nan Yi will pay for it and the victim will take their tools and go directly to dig up his ancestral graves.
Nan Yi has no opinion on the quality of domestic dairy products. Anyway, he and the people around him only drink special-purpose milk. The partners in his circle of friends either drink special-supply milk or dairy farmer brand milk.
More than 20 years ago, Nan Yi had already been paying attention to the desugaring, preservation and artificial synthesis technologies of milk. Fan Shengzhi Research Institute began to invest heavily in research from that time. Nuwa Animal Husbandry also invested in milk-related industries at that time, and was later taken over by the Agricultural Investment Holding Company under Shennong Wealth.
Let me put it this way, more than 40% of the milk that was not distributed to the victims by charities and was kept in warehouses until it expired and then secretly thrown away can be linked to Nan Yi. Maybe the cattle breed was Nan's, maybe the milk powder was Nan's, and the most likely possibility was that it used patents or packaging boxes belonging to Nan. Many of Nan's technologies have filled the gaps in the Milky Way, bringing the Milky Way closer and closer to the "universe" level.
Because of this, Nan Yi is also well aware of everything related to milk. He knows very well that his little wings have not extinguished the milk powder crisis. There may be differences in the timing of the outbreak, but what is coming will definitely come, and the crisis of confidence of the Chinese people in domestic milk powder will still erupt.
Once the crisis breaks out, a new overseas milk powder purchasing market will emerge. Spreading from milk powder, overseas purchasing will enter a climax period. The third major project of HiWeiGo is to establish an overseas purchasing intermediary platform "Five Hundred Miles" to build a bridge of communication and guarantee between domestic buyers and overseas Chinese and students who are interested in engaging in purchasing business.
In other words, Nan Yi was too lazy to develop its businesses piece by piece, so it directly used the thinking of a landlord, reclaiming wasteland and renting the land to tenants, then collecting rent from them for one to three years.
Collecting rent is just the first step. Nan Yi knows very well that a business of 500 miles is unlikely to last long. The basis for its "independent" existence is the clause in the relevant regulations on imported articles that "personal postal articles with a value of less than 500 yuan are tax-free." Once the overseas purchasing market is overheated, this clause will definitely be revised. At that time, the goods will first have to pay tariffs and then value-added tax, and the profits of practitioners will be directly sucked dry.
Therefore, overseas purchasing agents are not suitable to exist independently, but are only suitable to be integrated into large e-commerce platforms and reorganized into overseas purchasing agents, operating with a different mindset.
The second step that Nan Yi had in mind was to wait for a large e-commerce platform to acquire it. His requirements were not high. As long as there was a profit difference of two or three hundred million US dollars, he would sell it, either in cash or in cash and stocks. Da Guoniu would keep half and the other half would go to Nan's. Without Nan's backing, Da Guoniu could only let others manipulate it.
If you want to be a troublemaker, you have to be strong yourself, otherwise you are not a troublemaker, but just a foot binding, just like Xiao Bobo. Xiao Dezi and Xiao Suzi exchanged glances and said, "You go on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and I go on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and we go side by side on Sunday."
After completing the plan for the 500-mile journey, Nan Yi started working on the plan for the “Korean Style”.
Han Style will not establish its own platform, it will rely on e-commerce platforms to survive. It just so happens that JD.com and Maobao are acquaintances on both sides, so if they just say hello, they will definitely give it face. When the two platforms organize any promotional activities in the future, they will definitely include Han Style.
There is no need to say more about the Wandou platform that Fan Hongdou is already developing. It’s just a matter of a word.
In general, Nan Yi is more optimistic about Han Style's performance first. Although the fashion cabinet has already opened an order and it exceeded his expectations, with 12 orders completed on the second day, if you really calculate it, even if all the orders are completed smoothly and no orders need to be returned or exchanged, the gross profit is only US$204, which is not worth mentioning at all.
Although Nan Yi still has a backup plan for the fashion cabinet, he still feels that Daguoniu’s early self-sustaining business will most likely rely on Han Style.
However, no matter which one he is optimistic about, things are already moving in a positive direction. Daguoniu will soon see a return on its money. Only with profits can the employee team see hope, although the current structure of Daguoniu is very distorted, with three bosses plus one formal employee, and the boss is busier than the employee.
While writing the plan, Nan Yi also has to keep an eye on his email and check the consultation information left by customers on the website (the information is automatically sent to the email). In addition to replying, he also has to summarize the questions and then train the artificial intelligence customer service system.
Dagon Bull does not plan to set up a customer service team. Customer service work will be mainly handed over to artificial intelligence. If there is information about establishing a cooperative relationship, it will be passed on to the marketing department that is about to be established.
At seven o'clock on Tuesday evening, Nan Yi was still working overtime when a pair of small hands covered his eyes from behind.
“Guess who I am?”
"I guess you are neither Nan Ruoqi nor Zhao Jiatong." Nan Yi held Nan Ruoqi's hand, freed his eyes, and looked up at Nan Ruoqi's face. "You are amazing. You can find your way here by yourself."
"It's very simple." Nan Ruoqi smiled and said, "Dad, have you had dinner?"
"Not yet. How about you? Have you eaten on the plane?"
"I haven't eaten either, Dad. Let's go to the lavender branch. Are you ready?"
"As you wish."
By the time Nan Yi finished preparing the delicious food, it was already nine o'clock. The father and daughter, each holding a large plate, sat on the long wooden swing in the open space outside the house, swinging gently while eating.
"Are you coming specially to see dad, or just stopping by?"
"By the way."
"Is there an opportunity at Guangyu Electric?"
"Not yet. I have something to discuss with Sister Aija."
"Oh." Nan Yi was silent for a while. "You have two older brothers and one older sister. They will take care of you. I wanted to make it easier for you, the oldest one, but who knew you would still follow their old path."
Nan Ruoqi giggled, "Daddy, whether it's Dad or Mom, they're not as good as having it myself."
"Heh." Nan Yi said self-deprecatingly, "It seems that the shortcomings in my bones have been passed down to you. That's fine, precocity is not a bad thing. When dad is done with this busy period, I will accompany you to Singapore and take you to visit some elders."
"Dad, you want me to go to Lion City?" Nan Ruoqi was a little surprised.
"Move back and forth between the two places, be flexible. When you return to Xiangkeng, go find Uncle Zhao Jinshui and pick a house from the Snow Mountain Trust's properties in Singapore. Dad will give it to you."
"Dad, no, you don't have as much shares as I do. I will buy one myself."
"Haha, you've really grown up and now you know how to care for others."
"whee."
Looking at his little daughter in front of him, Nan Yi couldn't help but sigh that time flies. In two years, the youngest will reach the age of marriage, and his burden as a father will become lighter and lighter.
Nan Yi stroked Nan Ruoqi's head and said, "Little girl, you have to do business and not neglect your studies. Your sisters Ruochan, Hongdou, and Ruoyin are all PhDs. Your eldest and second brothers are studying, and your third sister will also take the exam in the future. You can't be an exception. Dad still wants to carry the label of a scholarly family."
Nan Ruoqi chuckled, "Dad, can I get two doctoral degrees?"
"The more the better. Your father and I plan to go to the Philippines, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, North Korea, Haiti, Congo, etc., all places where it is relatively easy to get a degree, and collect at least 37 doctoral degrees."
"Hehehe, Dad wants to suppress Mr. Hu Shi?"
"Dad was just joking with you. I don't need a PhD to make a living. It's meaningless for me to get a PhD." Nan Yi said, changing the subject, "How many days will you stay here?"
"I have applied for the flight at 8 o'clock tomorrow night."
