On Saturday, Zhuo Ziyuan worked at the company all day. The heads of several companies in the Yuanfang Group were all workaholics. Needless to say, He Xia, apart from work, stayed at home in Shuxiang Mansion. Zhuo Ziyuan was very suspicious.

This girl just stays at home and thinks about work. Otherwise, what else could she do? She has never had any friends.

Liu Bin, a technical geek, spends all his time on his code. He wants to treat the company as his home. Even the heads of several projects under him work overtime on Saturdays. Du Nan now runs around everywhere and often goes on business trips on Saturdays.

, even Song Chenyang, the person in charge of Yuanfang Logistics who joined last, is extremely busy.

On this day, Zhuo Ziyuan was also very busy. First, He Xia communicated with him about the plan to build a teaching building. This was the result of many discussions between He Xia and Principal Fang. In the end, Principal Fang chose to build only one floor. This was

What is most in line with Zhuo Ziyuan's idea is that in terms of the current number of students, there are only more than 30 students in a class at Yamaguchi Elementary School, which means only six classrooms are enough. As for the improvement of living conditions in the future, will the children who go to school

As the number of students increases, each grade needs to be divided into two classes. This is not something Zhuo Ziyuan has considered. He donated the teaching building not mainly to solve the problem of children's schooling. If they really want to learn, they can learn in any environment.

He was preparing for the disaster four years later. Considering the development of Yamaguchi Town, one class for each grade within four years would definitely be enough.

This kind of one-story building is definitely the most earthquake-resistant, and the evacuation of children is also the fastest. In many cases, the main reason for earthquake casualties is that people fail to escape in time from the building that is about to collapse.

The final plan was a reinforced concrete structure. The information provided by He Xia also stated that the seismic fortification intensity stipulated by the local government was level 7, and the corresponding seismic fortification intensity of the school was level 8. Zhuo Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

, because he no longer needs to waste brain cells on improving the seismic fortification intensity of school buildings.

The seismic fortification intensity of a building and the level of an earthquake are two different things. He has checked some information on this. If the seismic fortification level of a building is level 8, it does not mean that the building will collapse if the earthquake magnitude exceeds level 8. It depends on the building.

The distance from the earthquake source, the depth of the earthquake source, the intensity and other comprehensive factors. In short, Zhuo Ziyuan checked the information for a long time and could not figure out the specific relationship between them. However, the information he could find was superficial. Domestic

The highest seismic fortification intensity is level 9. The requirement for buildings in the capital is level 8. It can be understood that the buildings in the most important places in the country are also level 8. Only special buildings such as schools and hospitals in the capital are level 9.

level requirements.

Therefore, in Zhuo Ziyuan's view, the school's seismic fortification intensity level 8 is quite sufficient. The key is to supervise the construction team to carry out the construction according to the requirements. All materials must be strictly implemented in accordance with the standards, and there cannot be any sloppiness. Regarding this,

Zhuo Ziyuan had already thought about it and would hire a professional supervision company to take care of it. It would just cost a little more money. This has been noted in the project book. He Xia will naturally arrange for the specific supervision company to handle it.

After reading the complete information, Zhuo Ziyuan made some requests to He Xia, which is to add a large playground to the school, a playground with a plastic floor, a football field, and several basketball courts. The reason why he considered the playground is

Zhuo Ziyuan thought that if there was an earthquake in the future, if the helicopter rescue was to take place, at least there would be a place where they could land. Even the medical team, tents, etc. would have a better place to place them, so that they would not turn into mud when it rained.

In addition to the construction of primary school in Shankou Town, Yuanfang Charity Fund has a second donation target, which is also a primary school in a town in Maozhou. In the future, it will almost follow the rhythm of one donation target per month. Regarding this progress, Zhuo Zi

Yuan is very happy. If he donates to build one school every month on average, by 2008, at least more than 40 primary schools will be built, which will definitely save a considerable number of people's lives. This is a number that Zhuo Ziyuan is quite satisfied with.

After discussing the matter of Yuanfang Charity Fund, Zhuo Ziyuan discussed online shopping with He Xia. Originally, Zhuo Ziyuan had always hoped to have the opportunity to invest in Ali, so that he would not have to compete for the market. Unfortunately, things are not always as they wish, so

A long time has passed, and coupled with the internal financing of Ali some time ago, Zhuo Ziyuan's last hope was shattered.

"Yuanfang Mall, I think it's time to start it."

"Now that the three companies are fighting fiercely, is it appropriate for us to enter?" He Xia hesitated.

Zhuo Ziyuan knows the three companies He Xia mentioned, Ali is one, Yibei is one, and Huicong is one. In fact, Huicong is more bullish than Ali now. It has been listed on the GEM, but its main business is B2B.

Ali's traditional business competes with Ali's old business. Ali was also at a disadvantage in the B2B business, so he took a new approach and started the C2C Xubao model. Yibei is a world-class giant headquartered in the United States and has entered the Chinese market.

Later, it annexed a domestic online shopping platform, but Yibei has a shortcoming, that is, it maintains the traditional charging model of European and American countries, and has always refused to be free. All the friends in the United States have this kind of thinking, and any service is

Everything that is valuable has to charge fees, which is why it has come to an end in the Chinese market. A certain treasure has seized this point and promised that all merchants will not charge fees, but later the bidding ranking and traffic fees became

The main source of income for a certain treasure is also an inevitable trend. Let Zhuo Ziyuan do it, and he will also obtain profits through such means. This is a successful profit model that has been proven for a long time. Now the three companies are fighting fiercely.

, for B2B business, Huicong and Ali are playing, and for C2C business, Ali and Yibei are playing.

"No, when the dust settles from their war, it will form a situation where one family is the dominant one. When the time comes to compete, the competition will be too strong. It would be better to have a chaotic war like this now. Let's take advantage of the chaos to grab some territory." Zhuo Ziyuan.

Naturally, he can't wait for a certain Bao family to become the dominant one before entering the market. He knows how good Lao Ma is at cheating, and Yuanfang Mall must be engaged in C2C and B2C business. This eliminates the opponent Huicong. Of course, facing

The other two are more difficult opponents.

"Then I'll call Liu Bin up."

After a phone call, Liu Bin appeared in Zhuo Ziyuan's office 5 minutes later. The only two projects he is currently developing are Yipay and the operating system. The other projects either only need daily maintenance or have been developed.

Waiting to go online, Autohome is progressing very quickly due to the merger with Atlantic Automotive Network. It plans to go online on March 1st. Atlantic Automobile Network is still being maintained. Once Autohome comes online, all links to Atlantic Automobile Network will be online.

Jump to Autohome.

"Liu Bin, I asked you to come up because I have a new project. I want to discuss it with you. You may be very busy later on," Zhuo Ziyuan said.

"Boss, you said, I will do my best." Liu Bin is looking forward to Zhuo Ziyuan's ideas as many as possible.

"We are going to launch an online shopping project called Yuanfang Mall."

"Is it similar to Moubao and Yibei?" Liu Bin responded quickly. As an IT man, he knew all kinds of websites on the market well.

"Yes, this market will be very huge in the future. Now is the best time to enter the market. The domestic online shopping business has been developing for several years. The C2C business has been paved by Moubao and Yibei, and has also cultivated a certain number of people.

customer base, what we need to do is grab these customers.”

Liu Bin thought for a while and said, "The construction of this website is not a problem. The problem is how to attract merchants to settle in. This business may be the focus. I personally think that a separate branch should be set up with dedicated personnel to manage it. Zhiyuan

He will be responsible for the technical side and leave the marketing business to a dedicated person."

He Xia nodded in agreement at this time, "Yes, this Yuanfang Mall will become an independent company. In view of its importance, I will be personally responsible. Mr. Liu only needs to take care of the technology."

"That's no problem for me. However, since I haven't thought about online shopping before, the business module doesn't know if Mr. He and the boss have considered it or given our team a few days to design a plan."

Liu Bin's meaning was obvious. He didn't want to copy Yuanfang Mall's model. Zhuo Ziyuan smiled. He had indeed thought about this. Moubao was now just a single mall, C2C, full of counterfeit products. "I'm going to turn Yuanfang Mall into

Divided into three parts, one is a C2C model similar to Aubao, which is mainly low-priced and high-imitation products, attracting middle- and low-income people. In the other, we need to introduce brand manufacturers and B2C models, mainly introducing brand stores or direct factory stores for sales.

, this is for middle- and high-income people. The last part is that I plan to build an online supermarket, which is equivalent to moving the supermarket online. I will start with Wanjia convenience stores, and then gradually absorb mature brand supermarkets and regional services, such as three supermarkets.

Kilometers, within five kilometers, same-day delivery for same-day purchase.”

"This is good. In this way, we are more comprehensive than Moubao and Yibei. However, the online sales of brand stores are likely to conflict with the sales of their franchised physical stores. We have to consider this. In addition, regional services

, it can only be targeted at communities near physical stores. The coverage is relatively small, and the delivery cost is definitely higher. Moreover, residents in ordinary communities prefer to visit supermarkets, mainly because this shopping is more attractive, so the market in this area can have

How old is it?" He Xia is indeed a business elite and quickly understood the key.

Zhuo Ziyuan nodded and couldn't help but glance at Jian Qiu. If you want to say that this girl is really a talent, as long as Zhuo Ziyuan spoke, she thought of the key issue, "The relationship between brand manufacturers and physical stores."

Conflicts definitely exist, but we don't need to pay attention to this. They will resolve it with the franchisees. What we have to do is to try to attract some brand stores to join. As long as there are brand stores to join, as long as our online sales form a scale, let the manufacturers

Seeing the most direct profits, they will naturally find ways to solve the problems of physical stores when the time comes."

"But the problem is, if we don't consider the conflict of physical stores in advance, how can brand manufacturers agree to settle in our Yuanfang Mall? If no brand merchants settle in by then, won't our efforts be in vain?" He Xia said his own

worry.

Zhuo Ziyuan began to think about it. What He Xia said was not unreasonable. Zhuo Ziyuan knew that it would be a trend for online stores to replace physical stores in the future, but now, there are several manufacturers who can see this. How to attract them to settle in?

?Online stores want to be attractive and the price must be cheaper than that of physical stores. Otherwise, including shipping costs, the price will exceed the price of physical stores. Who will buy it? Once the price is lowered online, it will inevitably form a huge problem with physical stores.

Once the franchisees get into trouble, the manufacturer has no choice. After thinking for a while, Zhuo Ziyuan thought of a way, "In this way, the price sold by the manufacturer on the platform is consistent with that of the physical store, which solves the problem between them and the physical store.

The contradiction is that our Yuanfang Mall subsidizes customers, for example, giving customers a 20% rebate. Once a sales wave forms, manufacturers will naturally be jealous. I can’t do it. If our sales in a month or even a week can catch up with their sales in a year.

Well, can manufacturers resist such temptation? Once we cancel subsidies, will they sell at discounts on their own? After all, there are no store costs, and labor costs have been reduced a lot."

"This costs a lot of money, are you willing to do it?" He Xia looked at Zhuo Ziyuan doubtfully.

"What's the point of not giving up? Aren't you guys still throwing money into it now? Let's do the same, and throw it hard. Yuanfang should still have a lot of funds now, right? Let's set a goal, for the whole year of 2004,

Spending 20 million US dollars, what we need to do now is not to make money, but to cultivate users' online shopping habits. This stage is a long-term task, which also means that Yuanfang Mall will be a long-term loss-making project. Don't worry, when the time comes

I will let Youdao continue to inject funds." Zhuo Ziyuan said with great enthusiasm. There is no online shopping platform that does not spend money. There is no way to attract customers without spending money. How to retain merchants? If you cannot retain merchants, how to make money will be a loss.

Even in ten years, Zhuo Ziyuan must persevere.

"Then regional services are also the same concept." He Xia nodded and said.

"Yes, regionalization is not about making money, but about the concept. If we have this concept, we will have one more market than them. Naturally, the website will have one more users and traffic. At the same time, there may not be much space in this market now, but

It will definitely be a development direction in the future. The group buying business I mentioned before is actually a kind of regional service."

"Group buying? Boss, do we want to develop a group buying website?" Curious Baby Liu Bin was more interested in the new business Zhuo Ziyuan mentioned.

Only then did Zhuo Ziyuan remember that he had not told Liu Bin about the idea of ​​a group buying website, but this concept was a bit ahead of its time. "Well, yes, Mr. He and I have discussed the group buying business before. In fact, it is also a kind of group buying business."

Online shopping is just a group purchase of different products. It is aimed at catering, entertainment, movie tickets, travel, hotels, etc. It is an online first-class business. However, this is not urgent. We will talk about it later. Our main focus now

We still have to go to Yuanfang Mall."

"The first business of Yuanfang Mall overlaps with a certain treasure. Should we directly bring over all their existing cooperative stores?" He Xia suggested.

"Of course, as long as we bring them over, we can even help them convert all the pictures and other information on a certain treasure. Liu Bin, there are no technical difficulties in this regard."

"No, it's just that there may be a shortage of manpower."
