In this life, I will no longer be a childhood sweetheart

Dingsheng Building, the headquarters of New Century Digital.

Su Zelin leaned on the large office chair and browsed the news.

Every day, he pays attention to the big and small things at home and abroad.

Because something is likely to affect the economic and market situation.

But today, on May 2003, 5, a major event that completely changed the market structure of Xia Kingdom quietly happened, that is, the establishment of Taojin.com.

After several rounds of financing, Ahri's C2C trading website has finally launched.

But there was no uproar, just so quiet, many netizens who saw this news didn't care, because people never thought that this thing would change their way of life in the future. Variety.

Many netizens even question the safety of this shopping method. What if you buy a valuable item and others don’t deliver it, or send you a brick, how will you get your money back?

Su Zelin was full of emotions.

The era of e-commerce and online shopping is finally about to kick off!

Although taojin.com is silent now, its development seems to be open. It was launched in 03 and became the largest online shopping mall in Asia in 06. This is extremely terrifying.

Su Zelin in his previous life was the first person to try online shopping, because he always liked to experience new things. Not long after Taojin.com was established, he started online shopping. He helped with the purchase.

But around 06, more and more people knew how to use online shopping. Since then, the profits of many physical stores have been greatly reduced. The digital industry is one of the industries that has been greatly impacted.

Originally, a mobile phone that sold for 800 yuan online can sell for double the price in a physical store. One can imagine how exaggerated the profit is. This also makes computer and mobile phone stores bloom everywhere in every city. However, since 06, many This kind of stores that rely on huge profits to make a fortune began to be unable to bear it, and they closed down one after another. The real economy has undergone a round of reshuffle.

However, Taobao has just been launched, and it will take a few years for its influence to be gradually manifested. It will be accepted by more and more people and change the market structure. Before that, there is still some time in the new century.

This is why Su Zelin is desperately trying to open up new territories. He is racing against time to make New Century one of the most influential professional digital channels in China before the big waves of the times come, just like the big blue-green factories in later generations. Go against the tide and open a large number of stores in every big and small city at home and abroad.

With such a channel, you can negotiate conditions with the manufacturer. It doesn’t matter if the profit of the physical store is compressed, but you can try to get the purchase price subsidy from the manufacturer.

In this way, the profit advantage of New Century stores compared to other Little Pheasant stores is reflected.

When the time comes, it will only be a small store with weak strength and no backing.

The new century can survive the big waves, no matter how the market changes and how it is impacted, it will not fall down.

However, unlike the shop-to-sea tactics of big blue-green factories, New Century only makes large-scale stores, and each store presents itself as a flagship.

The word-of-mouth of quality and service must be firmly grasped. If it recruits well-known stores like the blue and green big factories, it will lead to mixed stores, which will have a great impact on the image and word-of-mouth.

"Duk, duk..."

There was a knock on the door of the office, and then Song Yuwei walked in.

A knee-length black suit skirt with a small white shirt, a typical commuter OL dress.

Song MM worked in the Normal University store for more than a year, and then was transferred to the headquarters by Su Zelin, and worked as her assistant in the operation department.

In the previous life, she was his secretary, very capable, and a strong woman. In this life, she was recruited under his command. Su Zelin also has high expectations for her and intends to vigorously cultivate her.

If she stays by her side and learns from herself, Song Yuwei will undoubtedly grow faster.

When he brought up this matter, Song MM also readily agreed.

From the current point of view, the salary and commission of the store manager may be higher than that of the assistant to the operation director, but Song Yuwei understands two reasons.

First of all, it was just a store in New Century, one of many directly-operated stores, and the status of the store manager could not be compared to that of the important staff in the headquarters.

Again, and a more important reason, it's definitely right to hang out with the boss!
He is the boss's favorite pillow, so he must be doing this for his own sake.

Moreover, after becoming Su Zelin's assistant, I could see him almost every day. In terms of personal relationship, Song Yuwei couldn't refuse the huge attraction of this position.

In fact, Song Yuwei, who was transferred to the headquarters, was very happy every day. As an assistant, she could contact Su Zelin at any time, such as sending documents, arranging the itinerary, or helping to make tea.

Bringing a cup of tea to the desk, Song Yuwei moved next to Hunzi.

At this time, no one else was present, and she didn't shy away from it.

Song MM is very courageous. When she was having the craziest time in her previous life, she even got under the desk.

Su Zelin coughed dryly: "Yuwei, we are in the company."

Song Yuwei's wonderful eyes flashed, and she covered her mouth with a smile: "Boss, what are you afraid of, there is no one else, besides, we didn't do anything."

Su Ze Lin Xin said that he didn't do anything now, but he was afraid that you would make more progress in the future, so he had to be disciplined as soon as possible.

In her previous life, Song Yuwei messed around in the office, so she was a bit pampered. The other reason was that she didn't refuse at that time, and even enjoyed it.

So the bastard in this life felt that she had to kill her dangerous thoughts in her infancy as soon as possible.

"You have to pay attention to your image, so as not to affect you badly."

Su Zelin said with dignity.

"Okay, next time."

Song Yuwei didn't care too much.

She could feel that Su Zelin had an indescribable special love for her, so she was confident.

"Boss, are you also watching the gold rush news?"

Her gaze wandered to the computer screen.

Influenced by Su Zelin, Song Yuwei also has the habit of watching the news every day. When she was free just now, she just watched the news by the way and came across this article.

"Can this kind of online shopping platform work?"

Just like many netizens, Song Yuwei also has the same doubts.

Su Zelin took a sip of tea.

Under my careful training, the female assistant's tea-making skills have improved a bit, and the quality of this cup of tea is still good.

"Yuwei, what do you think?"

Putting down the teacup, Su Zelin asked leisurely.

Hunzi is not only Song Yuwei's man, but also her teacher.

Sometimes, when it comes to a certain topic, he will also let the other party actively think and analyze, and express his own ideas, not limited to business affairs.

Song Yuwei thought for a while, and opened her lips lightly: "I think there are many problems with it, such as financial security, and how to win people's trust? What if the goods are damaged during transportation and cause disputes? Any individual user can register and open a store at will , there will be uneven quality of goods, and even fraudulent behavior, these are not easy to control."

After changing jobs and following Su Zelin, Song MM's vision and analytical ability have improved a lot, and many of these eloquent talks are on point.

Su Zelin nodded and said: "Yes, what you said are issues that need to be considered. However, online shopping is an innovative business model that subverts the tradition. Don't underestimate the power of innovation. This is what we did in the new century. !"

"Compared with brick-and-mortar stores, online shopping has many advantages. For sellers, there is no need to decorate the shop and pay shop rent. These two are unique advantages, which also allow online stores to compete with brick-and-mortar stores on price. .”

"For consumers, they can buy what they want without leaving home, which is quite convenient and cheaper than physical stores. If there are more sellers on the online shopping platform, it is equivalent to a super huge online supermarket. , more affordable than offline stores, with more choices, and you can even buy things you never thought of in this supermarket, which is very attractive to consumers!"

"Yuwei, look, this innovative shopping model is the torrent of the times. Although there are many problems, these problems are like obstacles encountered on the way of the torrent. They can slightly delay the torrent, but they cannot stop it. Its progress, one day, it will be able to change our way of life!"

Song Yuwei was surprised.

She didn't expect Su Zelin to be so optimistic about online shopping.

"Boss, didn't there be eBay before the gold rush? It seems to have been established for many years, and it didn't have a big impact on our way of life."

Taojin is not the first C2C e-commerce platform in China, there was eBay before it.

eBay is the originator of Xiaguo e-commerce.

It has been established in 1999, but in 2003, it still failed to set off an online shopping craze.

Although many people have heard of this thing, few people around them use it.

Su Zelin nodded slightly.

He likes Song Yuwei's studious attitude of actively asking questions, and is also willing to answer her questions.

"When eBay was established, the number of netizens in our country was still small, and the best era has not yet come."

"Moreover, eBay firmly believes in the concept of 'personal idle items trading' and focuses on auctions, and does not have a deep understanding of online shopping."

"The charging model of this platform is also friendly to merchants rather than buyers, resulting in poor expansion of new sellers and users."

"There are too few sellers, which means that the online supermarket has a limited number of products and is not attractive to buyers, so its influence has not yet been reflected, but it has made considerable progress compared to when it was first established. .”

There are many reasons why eBay lost to the gold rush in later generations. In addition to the few mentioned by Su Zelin, there are also the bureaucratic style after the acquisition, the lack of rapid response capabilities that Internet companies should have, and the withdrawal of founders Shao Yibo and Tan Haiyin. Wait, all in all, eBay's understanding of C2C is far inferior to that of panning for gold, internal and external reasons, which eventually led to its defeat in the competition of e-commerce giants.

Song Yuwei frowned: "Boss, so to speak, the advantages of online shopping are so great, if this innovative model develops in the future, won't our business in the new century be greatly affected?"

"Hehe, not just the new century, all physical businesses may be affected!"

Su Zelin smiled.

"Then what shall we do?"

Song Yuwei asked.

"The tide of the times is unstoppable, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace, and at the same time, we must be confident and just do our best!"

Su Zelin said lightly.

"Even if online shopping becomes popular in the future and the physical market is greatly reduced, the physical market will still exist after all."

"You also said just now that the quality of goods and services are uneven, and even scammers are not easy to control, and physical stores can avoid such problems, because before consumers buy, they can see and feel it when they enter the store. In addition, the after-sales service in physical stores is more convenient, so some consumers will still get used to buying what they need in physical stores.”

"So, we just have to grab that part of the market, compete with other brick-and-mortar stores and survive!"

"Compared with online stores, we have no price advantage. However, compared with other brick-and-mortar stores, our price advantage lies there, because we are a large-scale digital chain store. As long as our scale is amazing enough, we can even negotiate purchase subsidies with manufacturers. , while ensuring the profit of the store, it can be sold cheaper than those small private retailers, and our after-sales service is also more professional and convenient, so the competitiveness is not at the same level at all!"

"After the rise of online shopping, many stores will be eliminated, but the cake will become smaller, and fewer people will eat it, and the rewards will be considerable!"

Su Zelin looked relaxed.

Other merchants are about to face great changes in the market, but they are not psychologically prepared. As a reborn Su Zelin has long seen the wave of the times and started to plan.

Opportunity awaits those who are prepared.

"Big waves wash away the sand, but in our new century, we will definitely not be eliminated!"

Su Zelin's eyes flickered, and he said every word.

Feeling the absolute confidence emanating from him, Song Yuwei was full of admiration.

She likes Su Zelin's calmness and confidence when he talks about the market structure, which is a mature charm that those brats don't have.

The rising speed of the new century is so astonishing, rapid progress, but the boss is not inflated, prepared for danger in times of peace, and sees far and far.

If such a person is not successful, who else can be successful.

At this moment, MM Song suddenly had a strong premonition.

This man will one day become a man of the Xia Kingdom.

After get off work, Su Zelin didn't go back to the Finance Institute, but went to Song Yuwei's new apartment.

Due to the transfer to the headquarters, her life has also undergone some changes.

The rented house at the Normal University store was vacated and replaced with a commercial house located near the Dingsheng Building, which was officially moved in today.

You may feel a little uncomfortable when you just change to a new environment, so spend more time with me at this time.

What's more, the bastards don't have much to do after get off work.

It is very close to the company headquarters, less than 10 minutes' walk away.

The environment of the community is good. After all, it is a new building, which is much better than the old faculty dormitory of the Normal University.

The area is not very large, just one living room and two rooms.

Located on a high floor, you can see the bustling bustle of Lin'an city when you step out of the balcony. Song Yuwei likes the feeling of living on a high place and looking at the scenery.

During the viewing, Su Zelin also came over, but now something is different.

Even if it is a rented house, Song Yuwei has carefully decorated a warm atmosphere, making it feel more and more at home.

However, renting a house is still renting a house after all.

"Are you still used to this place?"

Su Zelin asked casually.

"I think it's pretty good. The apartment is very new, the surrounding area is convenient, and it's close to the company."

Song Yuwei was quite satisfied.

Su Zelin nodded, and then said: "Within two years, you will have your own house in Lin'an!"

"my house?"

Song Yuwei was a little confused.

"That's right, your own house!"

Su Zelin said solemnly.

This girl was willing to follow her in her past and present lives, and she didn't ask for her status. Hunzi also hoped to satisfy her as much as possible in material life.

Not enough now, he is in the process of building his own business empire, and the money needs to be spent wisely.

So Song Yuwei still needs to wait a little longer, but she won't be made to wait for a long time.

Up to two years, Su Zelin thinks it should be enough.

Moreover, he also planned to give Song Yuwei a big surprise.

He also gave this surprise in his previous life, and it was the gift that made Song Yuwei the happiest.

Song Yuwei was both surprised and delighted.

The average price of commercial housing in Lin'an is only about five or six thousand, but considering the income of this era, it is still quite far away for her. At least Song Yuwei did not dare to think about buying a house in a short time.

However, Su Zelin made her a promise.

"really?"

Song Yuwei couldn't believe it.

"Hehe, it's just a house, it's nothing."

Su Zelin smiled.

For many people, a home in a big city is a luxury.

But it doesn't count in his eyes.

For those who have achieved financial freedom, it is quite normal to have several suites or even large villas.

Even a luxury car can cost more than a house.

With his own woman, there will be bread, milk, houses and luxury cars, it's just a matter of time.

"Boss, thank you!"

When Song MM gets excited, she speaks foreign languages.

Although the promise has not been fulfilled, she firmly believes in Su Zelin's words.

Now that the boss has said this, it will not be a blank check.

After dinner, the two came to the community garden.

Not long after the beginning of summer, there is already some summer breath, but it is not very hot yet.

The environment of the community is elegant, with a lot of grass and trees planted, and the evening breeze is blowing, which is quite cool.

This was also one of the reasons why Song Yuwei took a fancy to this apartment. The community of the real estate was thoughtful.

At this moment, she is holding Su Zelin's arm, and the two young people are like a young couple.

Many residents also take a walk in the garden after dinner, and there are some little naughty people chasing and playing around.

A certain little boy running past didn't pay attention to his feet, tripped and fell to the ground, and burst into tears.

Song Yuwei quickly walked over to help her up, stroked the little boy's head and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, you are a little man, you have to be strong!"

Don't tell me, Song MM is quite good at coaxing people.

After a while, the little boy stopped crying and started playing with his friends again.

Looking at his disappearing figure, Song Yuwei smiled knowingly on her pretty face.

Su Zelin saw everything in his eyes.

Song Yuwei really likes children, and she has already shown it at this time.

In her previous life, this girl begged herself to give her a child, saying that it was okay to raise her alone.

She also hopes to be a boy, preferably as handsome and intelligent as herself.

For Song Yuwei, she had almost everything at that time, except for her fame.

So she is very eager to have a child, as a psychological sustenance.

However, I was still thinking about it, and I was born again.

In this life, do you want to fulfill her wish?
