Chapter 717
Not only Shao Yibo was so sour, but most of the bosses attending the meeting were sour.
The most taboo thing about doing a business is to spend the big and limited funds at the beginning of your business. Human resources all show that concentrating your efforts on success at key nodes is the wisest choice.
In their opinion, the current Wrangler system is already big enough, but in the long run and long-term development of these previous layings, they are still necessary to deal with them now, and they can still understand them from a long-term strategic perspective.
But it is difficult for them to understand what independent brands are used to do or direct sales.
Duobao.com is a sales platform. What they want to operate is the platform, not the products sold on the platform.
Turning virtual to real, Duobao.com is like a shopping mall. Their task is to manage the basic elements and conditions of the shopping mall and then attract various products to settle in.
Screening brands, controlling quality, maximizing the diversity and optionality of products, etc. These are what they should do. As for the specific products, it is what "Party B" should do.
What kind of scenario would it be if all the varieties are sold directly?
How spectacular?
"Well, you may have some misunderstandings about the brand direct sales I mentioned." I took a small mouthful of tea and Gao Mu glanced around with a smile, "Explain it. The so-called direct sales are not about us interfering in the production of products. It is completely unrealistic to have so many commodity species done by themselves. But we can cooperate with manufacturers and produce them on an OEM basis."
"Hi, why didn't I think about this?" Gao Mu's explanation was very clear. Shao Yibo patted his thigh and suddenly realized, "Official labels, private labels!"
The OEM production model has been popular for many years, and there are so many OEM products of large and small brands.
Especially on the luxury goods line where people are stupid and have a lot of money, to put it bluntly, there is no one who does not take the OEM route.
"Miscellaneous, it's so wonderful! Mr. Gao, your move is really wonderful."
Comrade Lao Wang activated the praising function and flattered him.
Gao Mu smiled and waved his hand. The reason was very simple, but before he broke the window paper, no one seemed to have thought of this path.
At this moment, the desire for talent in his heart surged again. If the Wrangler wants to succeed and truly develop into a century-old industry, it is obviously insufficient to rely on the current team.
Not to mention the obvious lack of ability, even Shao Yibo and others have their own shortcomings. They are talents, but not all-rounders.
These people can stand alone, but cannot lead the company's comprehensive development. The Wrangler's giant wheel now needs a helmman who can control the direction.
What Gao Mu needs is an operational officer who can share the pressure with him in all aspects. Such a deputy is like Cai Chong from the thief company, and he can be like Feng Qingyang.
How envious is Gao Mu envious of such a configuration!
However, while envious, he kept his bottom line tightly and did not rashly introduce Wall Street elites like Cai.
It’s not that they don’t believe in the abilities of people at their level, nor that they can’t find a matchmaker to find a suitable candidate, but that Gao Mu has his concerns.
Cai gave up the generous income of one million Mi Jin again. At a glance, he saw the development potential of Stroke Qingyang and the Forty Thieves. In addition to being said to be his unique vision, there must be other reasons.
Don’t forget where Cai comes from again?
Who is his back?
Rather than saying that Cai re-takes Feng Qingyang and the Forty Thieves Company, it is better to say that Wall Street Capital behind him falls in love with Feng Qingyang and the Forty Thieves Company.
Theft, with a strong capital advantage, is the first to deploy in China's Internet e-commerce, hoping to replicate a Chinese version of eBay to gain greater profits.
Of course, this is also a common problem in the development of China's Internet. Part of the advantages of overseas capital are naturally carried by themselves, and the other part is the voluntary abandonment of domestic capital.
It’s okay to be upset, but I really can’t blame others. After all, the opportunity is given away by myself.
It is precisely because he is unwilling to follow such an old path of development, and does not want to be controlled by others in future development like the top thieves of the 40 thieves, and does not want most of the dividends of the company to be seized by overseas capital. Gao Mu never took the simplest step under the thirst for talent.
Unlike relatively simple overseas returnees like Shao Yibo, he should be cautious in using talents from the "Wall Street" system. He also treats overseas capital very cautiously even though he knows it is beneficial to the company's rapid development.
Although there are Jinbei Investment and his private methods to continuously "blood transfusions", the Wrangler's current stall is indeed quite large, and the capital flow has always been tight.
Slow and tight.
This tight capital flow was also a major reason why Shao Yibo and his friends suddenly became noisy when they heard Gao Mu say they wanted to start direct brand sales.
I've thought far...
Amid the praises of King Dong and the discussions that the crowd was so happy and relieved, Gao Mu took back his imagination.
"Since everyone has no objection, then this matter will be put on the agenda. Mr. Shao, how to do it in detail, what varieties are introduced in advance, will be arranged by your website."
"OK, no problem."
Shao Yibo nodded confidently. He naturally had to occupy part of the funds in OEM business, but they had the means to start the business with the minimum amount of funds.
Using other people’s money and resources to earn your own money is their basic skills!
"Well, by the way, try to choose daily necessities for OEM products, and do not intervene in some special items, such as medicines."
After thinking about it, Gao Mu felt that he should draw a red line, otherwise it would be bad if he was too excited. His purpose of doing direct sales of OEMs is to take advantage of such an opportunity to raise the popularity of Duobao.com and give a sample to other stores on the platform.
Although only Duobao Pinpin is currently working on C2C, and the forty thieves are still in B2B, the news Gao Mu received was that the other party was already discussing and studying the C2C market.
With the forerunner of Youduobao.com, coupled with the upcoming SARS crisis, Gao Mu has reason to believe that Feng Qingyang will launch their C2C business earlier than in his previous life.
There is not much room for this time node. These are not only intuition, but also judgments made through information from multiple parties.
Of course, the forty thieves were planning C2C, but Gao Mu had no intention of entering B2B. His next goal was B2C, a fat meat that no one had ever thought about.
"No, the source of this crisis is the virus. Shouldn't we focus on medicine?" Shao Yibo did not respond yet, but Mr. Xiaoma raised questions first.
It's targeted!
If Gao Mu wants to use the virus crisis to develop Duobao.com and want to use OEM direct sales as an example, the most important shortcut is medicine.
"The reason is this. We need to prepare more medical things, but these things cannot be labeled, and we cannot do things that violate the law and discipline."
Gao Mu's lips slightly raised. In the current social atmosphere, everyone's legal awareness is still far behind, and the gray route is still popular.
Maybe it's like a little
Mr. Ma doesn't care. It's okay to walk on the gray path. It can be operated even with danger, but he can't do it.
Since the beginning of building the Wrangler, Gao Mu has been avoiding ambiguous gray business and revenue. Even in the earliest stationery business, he has brought in the Eight Great King Kongs and put them on the surface.
Now it is even more impossible for him to step on it, and he still needs to cherish his feathers.
"Okay, you're the boss, you have the final say."
Mr. Xiaoma spread his hands. Although Gao Mu did not absolutely hold Penguin Technology, he was an absolute major shareholder. In addition, this was a matter of Duobao.com, so he did not continue to question it.
"It's not the boss who has the final say, it's the law."
Gao Mu smiled. He knew roughly what Xiaoma always meant and knew that he had good intentions.
"I have come into contact with many business people, and I have never seen you keep your laws and regulations in mind and do it in practice."
Xiaoma always said that he had a smile, including him, and said that the four words "abiding by laws and regulations" were all written on his lips, which sounded nice.
In fact, I want to find out all the legal loopholes, use all the loopholes to allow the company to seize greater benefits and develop as brutal as possible.
Capital is not a saying, but people like Gao Mu are really the only ones.
"Let's go in the future." Gao Mu smiled meaningfully and evilly, "You will understand what I do now."
"Okay, I'll wait and see." Mr. Xiaoma nodded, his heart was dissatisfied, no longer emphasized, and actually did not fully agree with Gao Mu's statement. He picked up the teacup and stopped talking.
"That, Mr. Mu, I still have problems."
After finally waiting for the conversation between Gao Mu and President Xiaoma to end, Shao Yibo, who was anxiously waiting for the words he couldn't get in, quickly signaled.
"Oh, what else do you have?"
"I have no objection to direct sales and don't touch the drug category, but I think I still need to prepare some products in this regard."
If a serious virus transmission incident occurs according to the current situation and Gao Mu's judgment, then the most needed drugs on the market will be the most needed.
This is common sense!
"Well, Mr. Shao said it well." Gao Mu nodded with satisfaction, feeling that Shao Yibo slowly entered his rhythm. "The relevant medicines need not only be prepared, but also more, the more the better. And not only do common medicines such as isatis root and cold powder, but also need to store disinfectant, medical alcohol, masks and other supplies. By the way, you also need to prepare more salt."
"Ah, salt?"
Everything else is easy to say. Any alcohol mask can be understood, but what the hell is this salt? Can it prevent or eliminate the virus?
"Yes, it's salt."
Gao Mu nodded affirmatively, then shook his head with a wry smile.
Can't laugh or cry!
Even though you know it is useless, you have to prepare a lot, and you have to prepare a lot.
"Why do you need to prepare salt? Which scientific research institution has released a new research, or can salt kill the virus?"
Zhan Jisheng said with a smile, thinking of the salty taste, he felt even more ridiculous.
"I don't know if it's useful. Anyway, you remember an iron law. Whenever there is any social crisis, foreigners like to stock up on toilet paper, and Chinese people like to stock up on salt."
Practice the truth, and so is the truth.
"Does the ones you should stock up on toilet paper and salt aren't rice the most?"
Ma Yiming rolled his eyes and looked at Gao Mu speechlessly. I'm afraid this is not telling a joke, right?
