Chapter 52: Even if Thousands of People Go Against Me

"Mr. Li, the investigation you entrusted us to do has yielded results. Based on the information we have collected, we recommend that you choose Yuantong Express as a breakthrough point.

We have arranged for someone to deliver the detailed information to you, please check it, thank you."

Li Zehua's style of doing things is to plan before making decisions. Only by collecting enough information can he make the right decision.

While I was thinking about how to find a breakthrough, the phone rang again. I saw Yadi Ningtao.

Ning Tao had not contacted me since the last time we drank together, and had been communicating the details of the cooperation through Zhao Ye.
Because he had obtained some confidential information from BYD in advance, Li Zehua took advantage of this cooperation.

Judging from the progress, it’s almost time for the deal to be concluded.

After the call was connected, Li Zehua laughed out loud without waiting for Ning Tao to speak.

"I was wondering why I heard a magpie calling so early in the morning. It turns out that it was you, Mr. Ning, the great nobleman, who wanted to see me. How is it going? Share any good news with me, my brother."

If nothing unexpected happens, it must be good news, otherwise just let Zhao Ye pass on the message.

Sure enough, Ning Tao's hearty laughter rang out from the other end of the phone. "Boss Li, you are really amazing. Nothing can be hidden from you. Just now, after careful discussion, the company decided to agree to this cooperation! Congratulations on getting such favorable terms."

In fact, orders worth tens of thousands or millions are not considered big for BYD as a whole.

But the development speed of Hummingbird crowdsourcing is astonishing. How long has it been?
There are still a few days left in a month.

It has grown from a small enterprise with a dozen people to a medium-sized company with nearly 200 people, of which the promotion team responsible for developing front-line business alone has nearly 100 people.

Including part-time college students from more than twenty universities and colleges, there are at least seven or eight hundred people.

Although part-time jobs have almost no basic salary, they only rely on commissions.

But the speed of its development is still shocking. Before we know it, similar scenes have appeared in various universities in Shanghai.
When it’s dinner time, the deliveryman from MIMI, wearing a yellow robe, flashes by on his electric scooter.

Wu Wenhui specifically reminded the family several times about this, but the funds on the books were still decreasing at a rate of tens of thousands per week.

The result of spending money at the cost of losses is that the number of people in the telephone ordering customer service team has increased from six to twelve at the beginning to the current eighteen!

Even so, we are still too busy during peak meal times.

These were naturally noticed by Yadi, which was always paying attention. After summarizing the information from all aspects, the Yadi Sales Department quickly held a meeting to deal with it;

And form a resolution and report it, suggesting to reach cooperation immediately before competitors react.

A week ago, Ning Tao even directly approved the Shanghai Business Department to deliver 80 electric vehicles to Hummingbird Crowdsourcing for emergency response at factory price.

The latter offers the same discounts as large agents, with only a 30% down payment and the rest paid in a one-month payment period.

"Thank you."

Li Zehua finally breathed a sigh of relief. The severe shortage of electric vehicles is the biggest problem the company is facing now. Many businesses are now delivering meals on bicycles.

As for the problem that Wu Wenhui kept nagging in front of him, about the salary expenditure alone next month exceeding 40, while there was less than 20 left in the company's account, he simply ignored it.

“…Originally I should have paid a visit in person, but our vice president in charge of sales heard about Mr. Li’s achievements and was very impressed!

I want to invite Mr. Li to Wuxi for a chat. I have prepared some wine for him. I wonder when Mr. Li is available. I will arrange for Zhao Ye to come and pick you up personally. "Li Zehua thought about it for a while and felt that it was necessary to go. "I'm afraid it won't be possible today or tomorrow. There are some things to do in the company. Let's go the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow I will personally visit your company in Wuxi to thank the leadership for their support and kindness, and then have a drink with Mr. Ning.”

Ning Tao subconsciously covered his forehead, but soon came to his senses and said with a smile, "Then I will wait for Mr. Li's visit in Wuxi."

After that, he said some more words to build friendship, and after hanging up, he arranged for Zhao Ye to go to the connecting schedule.

"Hmph, no matter how much you drink, you will have to go back lying down when you get to Wuxi this time!"

He still vividly remembered the last time he was tricked while drunk. Although he issued a gag order afterwards, there were too many people at the scene and the news was still leaked.

As the saying goes, good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide!

In the end, the vice president was even alarmed. Five experienced drinking enthusiasts in the company were defeated by an unknown young man, and their business secrets were also stolen.

How can this not be interesting?

Speaking of which, Li Zehua benefited from this. Since the boss was interested, the subordinates naturally had to be prepared. After an investigation, the Shanghai Hummingbird Crowdsourcing and Chizumei were completely exposed.

The entire BYD top management was shocked. How could a company that had been established for less than a month create such a huge demand for electric vehicles?
The supply is really open, and 500 vehicles are just an appetizer.

But soon as information from more in-depth investigations came in, people lost interest, and many even called Li Zehua a fool behind his back.

Without it, there is no money!
According to their estimates, the gross profit of the several companies under Li Zehua's name would not exceed 300,000 yuan at most, but the monthly expenditure was as high as 600,000 to 700,000 yuan.

Even if it continues to develop rapidly and reaches a new level almost every week, the basic business logic will not change.

It’s just like the founders of Fanjisong who constantly participate in venture capital competitions, visit venture capital institutions, and talk about the bright prospects of the food delivery industry.

No one believed it at all.

Because no one can understand what economic value a middleman who relies entirely on restaurants and food delivery drivers can create under the traditional business model.

Isn’t this still an intermediary?
Telephone ordering has been around for more than a decade, but its biggest problem is that after being scaled up, its cost-effectiveness is shockingly low.

What future does an industry have that relies entirely on the hard work of grassroots labor, where the average customer spending may be less than 15 yuan and the profit per order is even less than 2 yuan?
No matter how big your business is, what can it do?

At present, it takes two minutes for the deliveryman to copy the address, menu, phone number, and then send a text message to the store.
A telephone customer service representative works an average of ten hours a day and, at most, takes 300 orders, which only translates into a gross profit of around yuan.

This is still an ideal situation. In reality, except during peak hours, it is impossible to have orders all the time. A customer service representative would be lucky if he or she could get 200 orders a day.

These few hundred yuan are enough to support at least one customer service representative and four delivery staff; if you add in all sorts of miscellaneous costs, it's purely a loss-making business.

But this does not prevent BYD from welcoming this business model, because they sell electric cars. As long as Li Zehua can afford the money and increase sales, it will not be a problem for them to generate electricity with love.

It has to be said that large companies have extremely professional and rigorous judgment in controlling their business models. According to normal logic, Li Zehua's behavior is purely that of a prodigal.

But no one knows better than him what kind of business miracle will emerge when the Internet, especially mobile Internet, is combined with traditional business models.

A trillion-dollar supermarket that no one cares about is temporarily only open to Li Zehua!
He is fearless!

Where the Tao is, I will go forward even if thousands of people oppose me!
