I Have 100 Million Stores

Chapter 297: One billion in one move?

Around 1:30 in the afternoon.

Cao Xingyu came to his office in Shunjie Building.

Before he could warm up his stool, Liu Ting knocked on the door from outside and walked into the office.

It is worth mentioning that Liu Ting had specifically asked the front desk of the company to notify her immediately after seeing Mr. Cao coming, so Liu Ting could appear in Cao Xingyu's office in such a timely manner every time.

This is also a change Liu Ting made after knowing that Mr. Cao was usually very busy. She rarely calls Cao Xingyu now. Unless it is a particularly urgent matter, she usually waits for Cao Xingyu. Work reports will be made after coming to the company.

"Mr. Cao." The joy on Liu Ting's face was beyond words at this moment, and she said with a smile:

"The measures you decided yesterday are so effective!"

"In just one morning, and less than two hours in the afternoon, a total of three or four hours, our Shiwang brand preparation store caused a huge sensation in Sansha City and on the Internet!"

"The most direct data is that the daily active users of our membership APP today have reached more than three times the usual number! It's still just past one in the afternoon. By the evening, this data is expected to increase!"

"And that message board caused members to rush to participate. There are a total of 68 preparatory stores and 68 message boards, with the largest number of messages reaching tens of thousands!"

"As of five minutes ago, the total number of messages accumulated on all message boards has exceeded 500,000!"

"The number of messages is so high?" Hearing this, Cao Xingyu exclaimed in surprise. Although he had a very optimistic estimate of this matter, he did not expect it to be so high.

You know this day is not over yet!

And more importantly, the Shiwang brand APP can only be used by members to log in!

In other words, there are currently less than one million members of the Shiwang brand, but they unexpectedly posted 500,000 messages in such a short period of time!

This amount is quite terrifying!

It also reflects how exaggerated the current stickiness of Shiwang brand members is!

"Yes, that's all!" Liu Ting nodded heavily and explained:

“The members started playing with each other on the message board!”

"Give our prep shop all kinds of weird names!"

"Some couples, in particular, even used naming to show off their affection on message boards! Indirectly, it evolved into a trend of naming stores!"

"And in addition to our message board, Xiaoye's videos are also a gathering point for comments and discussions. There are 20,000 to 30,000 barrages, and there are tens of thousands of messages! In addition, on social platforms such as Weibo and Tieba , also caused a lot of heated discussion, among which the Sansha City Tieba was the most lively! They were all massacred by our incident this time!"

"It's only been a few hours. If it takes a little longer and the news is fermented, our 'Shiwang Brand Preparatory Store' IP will be considered an instant hit!"

"Haha, that's indeed not bad." Hearing this, Cao Xingyu showed a satisfied smile.

Take out the 500,000 data from the Shiwang brand message board and compare it with Ye Xiufei’s video comment data.

It is very intuitive to see that the participation enthusiasm of Shiwang brand APP members is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

You must know that Ye Xiufei's video has at least millions of views, but adding up the comments and comments in the comment area, the total is just over 40,000.

But the members of the Real King brand did it hard and left 500,000 comments!

An amazing participation ratio!

This user stickiness will shock countless practitioners in the software industry!

As for the hot discussions on the Internet, Cao Xingyu actually doesn't particularly care. What really makes him happy is

It is the message board of the Shiwang brand APP that has the effect.

This not only increases the daily activity of the Shiwang APP, but more importantly, it means that users are not resistant to the interactive functions launched by the Shiwang brand. On the contrary, judging from the current situation, members' acceptance is quite high.

This is good news for Cao Xingyu, who is preparing to launch more social functions in the future!

He can consider trying more social scene functions next!

"By the way, Mr. Cao, the users' opinions on this message board are a bit loud!" Liu Ting pursed her lips and said.

"Oh? You have a big opinion?" Cao Xingyu was not happy for a few seconds. He heard such news. Could it be that his idea of ​​promoting social networking is not good?

After feeling his heart skip a beat, Cao Xingyu frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Are you not very receptive to message boards?"

"No, no! Mr. Cao misunderstood!" Hearing this, Liu Ting quickly explained:

"It's not that the acceptance rate is not high, but it's because the acceptance level is too high. They have put forward a lot of opinions on our message board function!"

"Our message board is too crude now. We can only leave messages directly without being able to reply to others."

"And even if you leave a message, there is no function for @others. It is particularly troublesome for some people to interact with others there!"

"Oh, so that's it." Upon hearing this, Cao Xingyu exhaled after realizing that it was not what he thought.

To put it simply, the message board in the Shiwang APP at this time is more like the web chat room on the Internet more than ten years ago.

It's the kind that keeps sending out one-time messages.

This mode of interaction is very difficult, and it is more like entertaining and talking to oneself.

At the same time, Cao Xingyu also understood why there were so many messages on the Shiwang APP...

Like today's comment areas, such as Weibo, you can reply and comment directly under a certain comment, and then fold the redundant ones so that they are not displayed.

Many times, a hot comment may have thousands or even tens of thousands of replies.

But in the end, this actually only counts as one comment.

However, the Shiwang APP is now able to generate more than 500,000 items in total, which is reasonable.

After thinking about it, Cao Xingyu smiled and said:

"It is indeed a bit crude. After all, it was added temporarily yesterday and the time is a bit tight."

"It doesn't matter. Let's optimize slowly. Software is a process of continuous iterative updates. No software can be perfect from the beginning."

"Go and make arrangements. Arrange the first team in the R\u0026D center to improve and enrich the message board as soon as possible. Basic functions such as likes, replying to others' messages, @, etc. should be added as soon as possible."

"In addition, let them read more about members' usage feedback. After all, users' usage feedback is the most authentic data and the most valuable. Let them refer to users' opinions."

"Okay! I'll make arrangements later!" Liu Ting nodded and said in other words:

"Also, Mr. Cao, as the news of this preparation store spreads, more people come to know about our consulting services."

"The three billion fund-raising target you set last time, Mr. Cao, has been successfully completed!"

"What? So fast?" Cao Xingyu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he suddenly heard the news.

To be honest, in Cao Xingyu's mind, among the tasks he arranged, he believed that the consulting service should be the most time-consuming.

After all, 3 billion in funds is not a small amount, nor is it just 300 million before.

Who would have thought that this would be done?

It's only been three days, right?

Even if the IP of the preparation store has gained some fame, it will not be effective so quickly!

Since when has funding been so easy to raise?

Facts have proved that Cao Xingyu underestimated the temptation of consulting services to everyone, and also underestimated the speed of the spread of this matter.

"Mr. Cao, I feel that this matter may not have much to do with the announcement of the reserve store." Liu Ting pursed her lips and said:

"At a quarter past ten in the morning, not long after our update announcement was sent out, a group of people came to the company."

"They signed a consulting service with an investment amount of 1 billion in one fell swoop!"

"If it weren't for this group of people, it would probably take us a day or two to reach our goal of three billion."

"One billion at a time?" Hearing this, Cao Xingyu secretly exclaimed: "How many people are there in their group?"

"Four people." Liu Ting replied.

"Four people came up with one billion?" Cao Xingyu asked doubtfully:

“Although the rate of return on our consulting services is pretty good, that’s only for the average person.”

"For those who have the ability to provide hundreds of millions of funds, how can they lack projects? Taking a step back, even if they take this funds to negotiate with banks, they can get a good interest rate. The probability will not be lower than ours, and it will be safer.”

"But the other party gave up on safer and more reliable projects and came to invest in projects like ours with such a large sum of money? What's the point?"

What Cao Xingyu said is in line with social reality.

As the saying goes, rich people are getting richer, and this statement is not true at all.

The gap between rich and poor is getting wider and wider, and it is not unreasonable.

Because the richer the people, the wider their circle and the more connections they have. Not to mention projects that make a lot of money, at least they have no shortage of financial management projects like this one, because of the huge amounts of funds they have. It's their bargaining chip.

Therefore, even though the consulting service of Shiwang Group has a 10% return rate, this return is actually completely out of reach of the truly wealthy.

At most, it will only tempt those petty bourgeoisie and middle class people with millions or tens of millions.

For people who can allocate hundreds of millions of cash out, their actual assets are much greater than this amount, and they will not be interested in the consulting services of Shiwang Group at all.

And four people spent one billion, with an average of 250 million per capita. How would such a big boss come to participate in such a project?

This is something Cao Xingyu can't understand.

"I don't know, I feel a little weird too..." Liu Ting recalled:

"I heard the report from the people below. Those four people seemed to be well prepared. They rushed over to sign the contract!"

"They are completely different from the investors we met before. Normal people would ask here and there, worrying about this and that, but those four people didn't ask anything! It's as if they had made up their mind to invest!"

"The employees below also joked that it would be great if they were all investors like this, it would reduce a lot of workload..."

"At that time I felt it was a little too abnormal."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Cao Xingyu raised his eyebrows.

Just ran over without asking anything...

Either they have already investigated it clearly, or they have other purposes...

After a pause, Cao Xingyu suddenly said in different words: "Is there any action on the Mei Tuan side?"

"After they left yesterday, there seemed to be no movement in Mei Tuan, and no landlord has contacted us for the time being." Liu Ting replied without thinking, then suddenly raised her eyebrows and said:

"Mr. Cao, you mean... these people may have been sent by Mei Tuan?"

"It's possible." Cao Xingyu responded noncommittally.

That way, you can go directly to the door with one billion, without saying anything or asking any questions, and just sign the contract directly.

Apart from Mei Tuan being so generous, Cao Xingyu could not think of other possibilities.

The key is that the two sides happened to have just broken up. Judging from Mei Tuan's execution ability, taking new actions so quickly is completely in line with their style.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are really such rich people who have money but no place to invest. This is also impossible to say.

"Then should we arrange for someone to investigate this matter?" Liu Ting frowned and asked:

"If it is really Mei Tuan, then should we cancel this agreement? Otherwise, giving them 10% of the future income for no reason is no different from investing in the enemy...especially if we don't know their Purpose, if something happens among them, it may affect our plan!"

"Forget it, no need, it doesn't matter." Hearing this, Cao Xingyu smiled and waved his hand indifferently.

Although he also felt that something was wrong, since the agreement had been signed and the other party had paid the consulting fee, there was no need to worry about anything else.

As long as the other party can take out the money, it will not affect the development of the preparation store work.

Even if the other party is Mei Tuan and has some unreasonable thoughts, it actually has nothing to do with the overall situation.

"If it's really Mei Tuan, that would be interesting... Do you want to consume me, or do you want me to burn money faster? No matter what your plan is, you will definitely not be able to get what you want, haha." Cao Xingyu said happily in his heart .

After retracting his thoughts, Cao Xingyu, for the sake of safety, did not forget to add: "When you come back to the consulting service agreement, ask the legal department to check it carefully again to make sure there are no loopholes or loopholes. We must make sure that we have unconditional acquisition rights and management rights. They It’s just the people who put up the money.”

"At the same time, the terms of breach of contract must be clarified. If the project starts to be implemented and the other party wants to withdraw, in addition to the unconditional ownership of the assets to us, we will also be given a certain amount of compensation."

Obviously, after being attacked by Mei Tuan last time, Cao Xingyu is now most concerned about the breach of contract clause in any contract agreement.

"Okay! I'll make arrangements later." Liu Ting on the side nodded, recorded it, and continued:

"That's right, Mr. Cao."

"We divide the 3 billion for this consulting service according to the 5 million standard as the threshold. We calculate one consulting service and charge one consulting fee for every 5 million."

"After all, there are a total of 600 investments this time."

"However, since many internal employees of the company participated in this investment, the consulting fee was discounted from the original 88,000, so the cost in this area is slightly different."

"The total consulting fees collected were more than 47 million yuan, which is more than 5 million yuan less than the original consulting fees of 52.8 million yuan!"

Speaking of this, Liu Ting couldn't help but feel touched and admired in her heart.

This is equivalent to giving more than 5 million as benefits to employees!

Mr. Cao is the only one who can do this kind of thing again and again!

"Oh, that's right. If you don't tell me, I really haven't thought about it." Hearing this, Cao Xingyu said happily:

"The income of more than 40 million yuan is estimated to not only offset the labor costs we have invested in consulting services, but maybe we can also make some money."

"You can definitely make money, and the profit is quite high! It can even be said to be the biggest profit point of our group at present!" Liu Ting answered with a smile:

"Because after a series of preliminary site selection preparations, as well as the experience accumulated by our own more than 300 stores, the supply chain and other resources accumulated by our stores, a series of back-end support systems have been It’s quite complete, and it doesn’t take much work for us to invest in consulting services.”

"The main work in consulting services is to do some planning and specific site selection. The subsequent decoration, supply chain, etc. are all supported by the store management team. These things originally belong to the store management department."

"Therefore, our current implementation team responsible for consulting services only has a total of 22 people, and the cost of manpower is not much."

"Even if you include the man-hours spent by the support team, the cost we spent is actually not much!"

“In other words, consulting services are really a huge benefit!”

"Yeah." Cao Xingyu nodded, and he recognized what Liu Ting said.

This is indeed the case.

As Shiwang Group's resources in all aspects become more and more complete, there is actually no need to invest too much energy in opening a store.

It is more about coordinating various manpower, such as external decoration companies, purchasing facilities and equipment, raw material supply, etc. If there is a fixed source of goods, this task is actually very simple and does not take much time at all.

Especially now that Shiwang Group has slowly pursued standardization, and the preparatory stores are being built according to standardized models. Stores of the same type are all similar, so the final work of opening a store will naturally be simpler.

Therefore, a three-billion-dollar project may not take more than a month to be fully arranged.

And for those people who invest, how much does it cost per month?

If you think about it too much, including all kinds of overtime pay and benefits, one or two million is the top dollar.

"It's true that consulting companies make money." Cao Xingyu muttered.

"Yeah, we made more than 40 million in just 3 days. Even some giants are not as good at making money at this rate as we are! If we don't carry out follow-up repurchases..." Liu Ting touched her head and said with longing. :

"Then our Shiwang Group has found a sure way to make a fortune!"

Liu Ting's first guess was that Mr. Cao was planning to use consulting services to make money. The real goal of Shiwang Group was to become a consulting company!

It's a pity that she only guessed right at the beginning, and she didn't expect that there would be any repurchase later.

"What are you thinking about?" Hearing this, Cao Xingyu couldn't help but sneered:

"Without the buyback, how could this situation be possible? How could so many people be willing to invest this money to participate so quickly?"

"That's right..." Liu Ting smiled slightly, and then couldn't help but asked weakly:

"Mr. Cao, after raising 3 billion this time, the third batch of consulting services should not be opened for the time being, right?"

"Well, no matter how much money we have, we still don't have such a big team to support it, so don't worry yet." Cao Xingyu said with a smile:

"Now that the funds are in place, go back and plan this batch according to my previous arrangements, and strive to build more commercial streets. The overall goal is still what I said before, to monopolize those commercial streets. Go to the restaurant industry.”

"Okay, Mr. Cao!" Liu Ting secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that Mr. Cao would make another shocking statement: Another three billion...

"But..." After Cao Xingyu thought about it, he didn't believe it if he prepared in advance, so he added:

"For the third batch of consulting services, we can plan and prepare first."

"Gu Long..." After hearing this, Liu Ting couldn't help but swallowed. What was she thinking?

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Cao Xingyu asked.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll make some arrangements later..." Liu Ting forced out a smile. She knew what Mr. Cao had decided and she couldn't change anything, so she'd better lie down...

After a pause, Liu Ting said in other words: "By the way, Mr. Cao, there is another strange thing."

"Six people came to apply for the job this morning..."

Hearing this, what did Cao Xingyu think it was, but this is the result?

He immediately waved his hand and interrupted: "Just let the HR department keep an eye on the recruitment. You don't need to report to me."

The Shiwang Group headquarters now has more than 200 employees. Except for the early few people recruited by Cao Xingyu to build the company's basic structure, he has not participated in the subsequent recruitment work. He has not been involved. necessary.

Unless he's attracted to someone like Cai Qiang, it's not worth his while.

"Mr. Cao, these are not ordinary applicants. Those six people were not interviewees appointed by our human resources department, but came directly to the door. The key is that their identities are quite powerful..." Liu Ting was not stopped by Mr. Cao like before. Then he stopped talking about it and insisted.

"Oh?" Cao Xingyu raised his eyebrows and motioned for the other party to continue.

Seeing this, Liu Ting continued: "They are all from the Xie Group..."

"Huh?" Even Cao Xingyu was a little surprised now: "A person from the Xie Group?"
