Entering September, the Chinese League One is in full swing.

Of course, the term "in full swing" is basically used for the Fairy Football Team. If the official name is followed and the name of the city or province where it is located is added in front, the Fairy Football Team will be called the Sichuan Fairy Team.

Although the name sounds a bit funny, everyone inside and outside the industry is very interested in the Sichuan Fairy Team.

Many people don't even watch the Chinese Super League, but they still want to buy tickets to watch the Sichuan Fairies and see the world's best footballer and Lion Kahn.

What's more, after being trained in one game after another, coupled with the training of Kahn and Figo, the Sichuan Fairies team has gradually become a strong team, winning the first three rounds, and all of them were big.

The score won, and even the league's first-place Liaodong Hongyuan team was defeated 3:0, which was amazing.

From this, everyone is speculating that the next season may not be available. If the current momentum can be maintained, the Sichuan Fairy Team is likely to be successfully promoted this season.

Xiao Qi was a little surprised by this, but he didn't feel like his plan was being disturbed.

If this goal can really be achieved, it will give the Sichuan Fairy team an extra year of training. When Lippi comes to coach, they can play in the AFC Champions League by themselves.

But Xiao Qi will not put a lot of pressure on Lippi. He is not required to win the AFC Champions League in the first year. He can win two championships for the Sichuan Fairies in five years.

After Xiao Qi became busy, he did not go to the next few games. However, as die-hard fans, many senior executives of Fairy Company went to home games, including Su Xiaomei, Yang Na, Zhou Bo, and Xing Hu.

et al.

Even Zhang Zhanzhao must attend every game, which also gives strong confidence to the Sichuan Fairy Football Team. After all, if the provincial governor supports it, it will be convenient in many aspects.

It can also be seen from this that Zhang Zhanzhao is really a fan. Otherwise, with his dignity as a provincial governor, how could he watch a Chinese League game?

Yang Na had her own box, but starting from the second round, she invited Huo Zhuzhu to watch the game with her. Although it is said that the two women still bickered and grudged frequently. But after all, they no longer had the angry looks before, but they were a little bit more

The look of happy enemies.

Xiao Qi hoped that the two beauties could have a good relationship, otherwise Huo Zhuzhu would definitely be very angry if she found out that Fairy Sports City was a property for Yang Na, but she had to work hard for it for a long time.

The flash sale mall that Xiao Qi prepared for Huo Zhuzhu was still being developed by Peng Anqi, but he himself had relieved himself of the burden of being a technician and dealt with every manufacturer every day, becoming as comprehensive as Qin Yibin.

Talent.

Since Peng Anqi was originally from Xiaoyao Mall, he has a very good relationship with the suppliers of Xiaoyao Mall, so his progress is pretty good. Basically, he has better negotiations with those suppliers, and they are also willing to sell some out-of-season products.

Bring the products for special sale. It not only recovers the cost but also builds reputation.

It's just that Peng Anqi is also smart. The price is cheap, but the most important thing is quality. No matter which product it is, the purchasing model follows the method of Xiaoyao Mall. This is called being a villain before being a gentleman.

Those suppliers didn't want to play any tricks. After all, Flash Sale Mall and Xiaoyao Mall are one family, with Xiao Qi behind them. Who dares to use fake and inferior goods to deceive Xiao Qi?

The flash sale model in China has not yet been launched, but there is already movement in the United States.

Zulily, a maternal and infant flash sale website, started preparations in July.

Milner would not do Xiao Qi's thing of preparing everything before opening, so he just made a logistics layout in New York City, the largest city in the United States, built a network platform, and contacted various manufacturers.

In early September, zulily officially launched its trial operation in New York.

The management would not let Xiao Qi's reputation go unused, so advertisements such as "zulily, the maternal and infant flash sale website founded by Mr. Xiao Qi, has begun trial operation, and I hope everyone will visit it" began to appear in New York City.

Advertising expenses are not high. In addition to street advertisements on subway platforms, most of the advertising is on the Internet. After all, young mothers who can shop online are definitely willing to go online and will naturally accept online advertising.

New thing.

People discovered the site quickly.

When I entered the website and took a look, wow, why is it so cheap?

There are both famous brand products and affordable small-factory products. The quality is also guaranteed by Zulily and the insurance company. It guarantees delivery within 2 days within the area and can be returned or exchanged unconditionally within 7 days... Well, look at such considerate service.

, many housewives just ordered some products with the attitude of giving it a try.

After using it, everyone thought it was pretty good. It was cheap, but the quality was pretty good, and you could use it as soon as you started using it.

Moreover, zulily is very considerate. It sends an email to its members every morning, letting members see at a glance what specials will be available today and when they will rush to buy them. Such considerate service allows housewives to have time to

Think about it and prepare your budget in advance.

So just half a month later, zulily became popular in New York. 30% of young mothers shopped on it three to five times, and 10% of them became loyal members, with the total number of members exceeding 700,000.

This is already a very good development in New York State.

During the trial operation in New York, Milner never stopped building more logistics warehouses.

Of course, zulily's logistics warehouse cannot be as large and complete as Amazon's. It is much smaller and more dispersed.

But since Zulily is specifically targeting the maternal and infant market, small warehouses can also come in handy. People in Europe and the United States are accustomed to having goods delivered in the same city within three to five days. Zulily’s promise of two-day delivery is already pretty good.

For this reason, Zulily specially hired a group of express delivery personnel instead of choosing a few large express companies in the United States.

Although it was relatively costly at first, once the network was established, it became effortless to support a group of couriers.

As for why Milner wanted to build the logistics warehouse himself, it was because he wanted to become more familiar with the American environment so that he could accumulate more experience.

However, he will not participate in the negotiations with the suppliers. Instead, the management will do it. After all, this involves professional issues, and in the future, their management will run the business themselves. Of course, Milner will not intervene.

too much.

Except for zulily, the development of pi company is also very smooth. The programmers only need to understand the "waterfall flow" image loading method and the method of pasting images on the entire plane, so the rest is not much different from ordinary image websites.

.

It's just because Milner knows that a beautifully made and fully functional website is far more popular than a scratch website, so he has been asking them to keep improving recently and strive to capture the hearts of users when it is launched.

.

A crowdfunding website is much simpler. What it needs is not how good the functions of the website are, but whether there are good ideas in it.

Therefore, a crowdfunding website named Fairy Crowdfunding also started operations in mid-September. Although it also uses Xiao Qi's name, the results so far are not very good, and it is just a small effort.

Milner's approach to this is to do his job seriously and solidly, and then work hard to advertise in various places. It doesn't need to be too intensive, as long as the fairy crowdfunding can be seen in people's eyes at any time.

This matter cannot be rushed. It will take many years to polish it into a crowdfunding website that is very credible and prestigious in everyone's mind.

The development of Uber did not disappoint Xiao Qi, nor did it disappoint Itochu Corporation.

In the intensive process of conquering the United States, Itochu Corporation suddenly announced that it had purchased 15% of Uber shares for US$37.5 billion, which immediately caused a shock in the investment industry around the world.

Everyone thinks that 13 billion US dollars is a relatively reasonable valuation, but Itochu Corporation has almost doubled it. This is simply messing around.

But ordinary people don't think so. In their opinion, Uber's operation method is really cool, convenient, simple and practical.

The major social networking sites in the United States are overwhelmingly praising Uber. Such enthusiasm has already been reported in Japan.

Both Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have made very optimistic estimates for Uber, believing that it may become another super company after A with a valuation that may exceed US$100 billion.

Under such circumstances, a valuation of 25 billion can buy 15% of the shares, which is a very good deal for Itochu Corporation.

Because they don’t have to worry about overpaying for their purchases. With Xiao Qi’s character, things will definitely become more expensive as they sell in the future.

The Japanese investment community also agreed with this statement, so after the announcement of this transaction, coupled with Itochu Corporation withdrawing billions of dollars in cash from Dingxin Group and Lymart, Itochu Corporation's stock price continued to rise.

A week of trading has passed, and the stock price has rebounded, approaching the previous market value of 90.

Naito Heitaka was overjoyed when he saw this, and with this series of transactions, he completely secured his position as chairman of Itochu Corporation.

But the most profitable company is Fairy Company. It only invested a total of about 1.5 billion US dollars in Uber. Now it only sold 15 shares and got back 37.5 billion US dollars. This is the business charm of the Internet era.
