"Liu Long, are you in the office now? I happen to be free and stopped by to take a look. I haven't been there since it opened?"

Ma Yibo was also a little ashamed. From finding an office to determining the source of goods for Bolong Cross-border, he basically had no involvement. At most, he only made suggestions;

Everything else was decided by Liu Long alone;

However, Liu Long also liked the hands-off shopkeeper like Ma Yibo very much. Only in this way could he let go and avoid being criticized.

"Yes, I'm in the office with the section chief."

"Section Chief, Mr. Ma will come over later and ask your girlfriend to help us look at the product introduction."

…

When Ma Yibo arrived at the place Liu Long mentioned, it was actually not far from Yike City, only four or five kilometers away.

Bolong Cross-border is not so much an office as an apartment with an office and a warehouse;

Bolong Cross-border was established in such a duplex apartment. The second floor is where Liu Long and the section chief live, the room next to the first floor is used as a warehouse, and the lobby is an office;

This configuration is definitely the first choice for starting a business, and it can be used for accommodation, warehouses, and offices;

The most important thing is that you can always be busy here without spending time on the way back and forth;

Self-employment can be said to be free all day long, because time is free;

It can also be said that we are busy all day long, because we are busy here almost 24 hours a day.

"Mr. Ma, you are here";

Liu Long and the section chief, who were watching Team Leader Hua revising the product introduction by the computer, came in from the door to buy a book and hurried over to greet them;

The two of them undoubtedly admire Ma Yibo very much;

Everyone graduated at the same time and worked for the same company. Now, Ma Yibo has five stores and five more are under renovation;

And their Bolong Cross-border has just opened its doors, and Ma Yibo is still the major shareholder.

"You are still busy now. Have you eaten?"

After walking outside for a while, the cold wind was biting, and the car came here, which made Ma Yibo sober up a lot with the little wine in his stomach.

"Well, we have eaten. The section chief cooked the food himself just now, and the three of us had a meal."

Ma Yibo knew Zhao Ke's cooking skills in his last life, and they have definitely been tested.

"Will this place be crowded? If not, can you consider opening a slightly better place?"

For Ma Yibo now, there is indeed no need to save this little money on rent;

But Liu Long is different. Now he is basically spending money and not receiving any income. He is very satisfied with such an apartment.

"This apartment is quite enough. It's just the two of us. The team leader usually comes over to help."

"Mr. Ma, now our first batch of goods from Amazon has been sent out, and it is estimated that it will arrive at the Amazon warehouse in about a week."

“In the past few days, we are not only waiting for Amazon to receive the goods, but we have also opened several stores on AliExpress, and one of the products uploaded is about to become a hit”;

"Look, it's this computer backpack";

Liu Long went to the nearby warehouse and took out a computer backpack.

"This computer backpack has been uploaded for less than a week, and 96 orders have been placed, and it is about to exceed 100 orders";

"As for this computer backpack, our purchase cost is only 18.6 yuan, the shipping fee is 48 yuan per ticket, and the sale price is 21 US dollars, which is equivalent to about 142 yuan in RMB."

"Not counting labor and rent, the profit from just one computer backpack is about seventy-five six";

"Just from this bag, we have made more than 7,000 yuan in profit this week";

The more Liu Long talked about it, the more excited he became. What could he do to make such a big profit?

I heard Ma Yibo say that cross-border e-commerce is now easy to do and the profits are very high, but I didn't expect it to be so profitable.

"With other products, the profit is almost 10,000 this week";

"I'm wondering if I should send another batch of this backpack to Amazon to avoid running out of stock."

Yes, the products Liu Long currently sends to Amazon do not have any particular focus, and he only sends some of them;

However, during this period, a small hit was actually sold on the AliExpress platform;

That means there is a huge market for this backpack, which is why Liu Long called Ma Yibo.

“Which country’s market is mainly targeted on AliExpress?”

“Both Amazon and AliExpress choose the European and American markets, mainly for the United States. That backpack is basically what people from the United States place orders on AliExpress”;

Liu Long was indeed a quick thinker, and Ma Yibo knew exactly what he wanted to ask as soon as he opened his mouth.

"If this is the case, I suggest that you do as you said and add a batch of products that are currently selling well";

“With the accumulation of time, we will be able to better adjust the products sent to Amazon”;

"Best-selling products should be released more often. Products that are too small or have no sales volume will be directly axed";

"By the way, how many do you estimate this backpack can sell in a month?"

"It's hard to say. Currently on AliExpress, there are a total of 22 orders today, and this backpack accounts for 18 orders";

“Since the launch of this backpack, the daily orders from the first day to now are 8, 9, 11, 14, 16, 20, and 18”;

"Looking at the current data, it is estimated that it can stabilize to about 18 per day";

“Amazon’s traffic is five to six times that of AliExpress”;

"An optimistic estimate is that it can reach eighty, ninety or more a day";

It’s not that I don’t know, it’s that I’m shocked;

Eighty or ninety a day, that day’s profit would be five or six thousand;

God, this is too exaggerated.

Not to mention Liu Long and others, even Ma Yibo is like this.

Domestic e-commerce, after 2012, was basically a Red Sea market, and it was impossible to get involved.

If people who are engaged in e-commerce in China knew about it, they would probably rush to enter the market in droves;

After that, the profits of the cross-border e-commerce market will definitely be compressed, and it will be another Red Sea battlefield.

In the last life, I heard that in the initial stage of cross-border e-commerce, as long as you upload products, customers will place orders. Business is extremely good, and the most important thing is that profits are very high;

Now it seems that this profit is not only very high, it is simply outrageous.

However, this has a lot to do with the popular model that Liu Long accidentally chose;

If there are no popular products, the profit margin may be high, but the shipment volume is relatively small, so it will be difficult to significantly increase the profit.

"Well, this number is relatively optimistic."

"Then, as you said, reissue some of the small hits and products that sell relatively well on AliExpress and send them to Amazon";

"By the way, what kind of express delivery are we sending now, by sea or by air?"

Ma Yibo doesn't know much about foreign express delivery, but whether it is shipped by sea or by air, these two determine the cost and time.

“Sea and air freight are too expensive”;

No one knew what the market was like before, so how could they dare to spend too much money on this kind of thing? Just save what you can;

But now, it is different. There is already a small hit product with a relatively clear goal;

At this time, what we have to do is to buy time and deliver this product to the warehouse in a short time, otherwise there will be no way to sell it.

"All the reissued goods this time will be sent by air freight. The cost has indeed increased, but if our goods are really popular, we can still afford this cost."

In the previous life, those who were engaged in cross-border e-commerce in Huaqiangbei chose air transportation because profits were too high in the early stage;

In this way, the settlement cycle will be faster and the payment speed will be more timely;

Under high turnover, the more goods sold, the greater the profit will definitely be.

Just imagine, it used to take about 25 days for sea shipping and 3 days for air shipping;

If the same quantity of products is sold out in 4 days, then the shipping cycle will take 29 days, which is equivalent to only one batch being sold in a month;

For air transportation, a seven-day cycle is used, and four batches can be sold in one month;

Think about it, how much money do you have to make, why do you still care about the shipping cost?

Liu Long, Zhao Ke and Team Leader Hua were swayed by the beautiful blueprint described by Ma Yibo;

Yes, they didn't think so much before, they just felt that air transportation was costly and risky.

"Okay, then I will discuss with the factory tonight and let us send 1,000 backpacks directly to the Amazon warehouse, and we will bear the freight."

At this time, Ma Yibo truly understood what madness is and what the wind is;

When it comes to cross-border e-commerce, whether it’s Ma Yibo, Liu Long, Zhao Ke or Team Leader Hua, they all have no experience;

If placed in domestic e-commerce, these people would be cannon fodder;

Now, in the field of cross-border e-commerce, even a novice can succeed in it;
