Chapter 236: Choice of express delivery industry
"Of course I do, but look at me..."
Fang Lei's face was inexplicably excited, but soon showed a hint of embarrassment.
His entire store is only a dozen square meters in total.
It's a real little shop.
Because the area is so small, the types of products that can be produced are naturally very limited.
But who is doing business and doesn’t want to grow bigger and bigger?
He has also saved some money recently and wants to expand his business.
But he was always extremely cautious about this kind of thing.
Because when opening a store outside, it pays great attention to location and regular customer relationships. If he moves to a larger place, it will be good if the business is good, but if the business is bad, he will not be able to afford the monthly rent.
Moreover, many old customers nearby will not be able to find him, or feel that the distance is too far, so they choose to buy from other stores.
Everything has to start over.
This is risky.
"Hey, there's no need to go to such trouble." Cheng Feng smiled, waved his hand, leaned on the counter and said, "Have you ever considered using another sales method, such as through the Internet?"
"Ah? Can I still sell things online?" Fang Lei scratched his head, really not understanding the relationship between the two.
Cheng Feng turned around and looked around, and said very seriously: "Our company is implementing a new business model. Customers can place orders to purchase products through the website, and then you merchants will prepare the products immediately after receiving the order.
and packaging, and finally handed over to the courier company, which will be delivered to the customer's hands by the courier..."
"Is this... can this work?" After listening to Cheng Feng's detailed introduction, Fang Lei was very curious, but he still felt a little unsure.
Because this is completely different from the traditional business of opening a store. Customers place orders through the Internet, and the price and transaction process are completely transparent. This idea sounds really good.
But customers cannot touch your product through the computer and cannot understand the true quality of the product. What if they buy a fake?
Or maybe the goods are not right and you want to return them, these are very troublesome things.
"Haha, I know you have a lot of concerns, but you don't need to worry about these at all. Our company has opened up all relevant channels. You only need to be responsible for the delivery, and you can leave the rest to us." Cheng Feng smiled casually, relaxed
comforted him.
After hearing what he said, Fang Lei asked a few more key links, and Cheng Feng answered them one by one very patiently, completely solving his doubts.
Finally, out of trust in Infinity Company, Fang Lei decided to give it a try.
Anyway, the staff of Infinite Company also said that there is no need to pay a penny in advance and relevant guidance will be provided.
Now that everything has been said, what else do I have to worry about.
Moreover, Cheng Feng also hinted to him that their business is still in the internal invitation stage, and not everyone has this opportunity.
This made Fang Lei unable to refuse anymore, and he impatiently asked about the specific operating procedures.
Soon, Cheng Feng opened the browser on Fang Lei's usual computer and entered a string of letters, which was the website address of Jingxi Company.
At the bottom of the page, he found the entrance to register as a merchant, and he was given step-by-step instructions to register a seller store.
The whole process is very simple.
Cheng Feng also taught him how to upload product pictures, write titles, set prices, and fill in various search keywords.
After working on it until around 12 noon, Fang Lei finally had a preliminary understanding of all the contents.
In addition, Cheng Feng also provided him with several new products, which were recently developed by some factories affiliated to Infinity Company and have not yet been sold on the market.
After finishing all this, Cheng Feng left in a hurry.
He didn't say anything in particular, he just asked him to wait with peace of mind.
Cheng Feng didn't have time to think too much, because several more customers came to the store, and he quickly fell into a busy business...
Meanwhile, Infinity Corp.
A network team, with more than a dozen programmers, is working on data docking with Jingxi Company.
They need to make a recommendation advertisement for Jingxi Company’s product page and push it on Infinite Company’s news portal.
Today's Infinite Company has nearly 200 million registered users, with daily active users reaching more than 50 million, and their news website's daily traffic is also astonishingly large.
According to statistics from the data department, it is second only to Qiandu Search.
This means that as long as they want to push a message, tens of millions of people can see it, which is a very powerful exposure.
If used well, the revenue will not be less than the advertising fee.
When Chen Weidong was chatting with Lin Zeju recently, he learned that Liu Dongqiang, who was in the capital, was not doing well with his Beijing West Company business.
After all this time, it is still at a huge loss.
The company's hundreds of employees did build the e-commerce platform and did invite some companies to settle in, but the results were far from as good as expected.
The daily turnover of the entire website is only a few thousand yuan, which is pitiful.
There is simply no way to support that many employees.
After all, in this era, purchasing goods through the Internet is a very novel way, and many people don't even dare to try it.
I am afraid that after placing an order, I may not receive the goods, etc., etc.
Another aspect is that there are still many people who don’t know that they can purchase goods through the Internet. This is because Jingxi Company does not promote its website enough.
Even if Liu Dongqiang spent a lot of money to advertise everywhere in the capital, he would have little effect.
After Chen Weidong learned the news, he decided to help him.
Utilizing the huge traffic of Infinite Company, more people can be exposed to online shopping, thus changing their lifestyle step by step.
In addition to these online promotions, offline links are directly related to the shopping experience.
As a reborn person, Chen Weidong certainly knows what kind of problems e-commerce will encounter during the development process.
It is impossible for him to take the detours that e-commerce giants have taken again.
Therefore, he had spent a lot of money to organize the postal companies in advance, let them participate in this link, and told them to ensure a certain service quality.
In this era, not many people send express delivery. On the one hand, ordinary people rarely have such needs. Even if they need to be mailed, it is usually only some letter-type documents.
Slightly larger packages are very rare.
If you walk on the streets of this era, from time to time you will see postmen wearing dark green clothes, carrying shoulder bags, riding bicycles or motorcycles, walking through the streets and delivering packages everywhere.
In fact, during this period, if you want to send express delivery, there are not many express delivery companies to choose from.
It can even be said that the only option is postal service.
Because the profits of the express delivery industry at this time were too low, the private enterprises entering this industry had not yet developed, and the postal service was the only one.
Although Shunfeng and STO, which Chen Weidong is familiar with, were established in 1993, their scale is too small.
After weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose the postal service.
Because although they are state-owned enterprises, the purpose of their establishment is not to make profits. They have service outlets of various sizes all over the country.
This is guaranteed.
