Reborn in 08, a heretical cultivator starting a business

Chapter 57: Orders Surge, 500,000 Yuan in Revenue in Half a Day! (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Jia Zhonghao no longer cares whether Guan Huituan can succeed.

Even worse, the flying supermarkets will all be stuck with the bad stuff!
He invested 170,000 yuan to take over Feihang Supermarket, and the inventory alone amounted to more than 30,000 yuan!

I bought over 10,000 yuan worth of fruit in the last two days!
Now that YouTuan.com has launched, it's not selling at all, and all the products are going to be stuck in our hands!
Whether it's the current inventory or the supermarket's future profits, it's all gone!

Browsing through YouTuan.com, Jia Zhonghao grew increasingly desperate!

It's true that everything Feihang Supermarket has, YouTuan.com also has!
What you can't find at Feihang Supermarket, you can find on YouTuan.com!
The key price is 30% cheaper than at Feihang Supermarket, or even half the price!
"Damn it, if YouTuan does this, how am I supposed to sell my FeiHang Supermarket? We can't even compete on price!"

"All the supermarkets on campus will be struggling to survive!"

Jia Zhonghao's expression was extremely gloomy; he saw no hope at all!
Jin Xingye nodded: "Not only that, YouTuan not only supports self-pickup at YouTuan supermarkets, but also supports home delivery service."

"If the price is less than 30 yuan, there will be a 3 yuan delivery fee to the dormitory."

"Free delivery to your door for orders over 30 yuan and weighing less than 10 jin!"

"Free delivery for orders over 50 yuan and weighing less than 20 jin. Because you have to climb stairs in the dormitory, there will be an extra 0.5 yuan delivery fee for each jin overweight."

"Order before 11 p.m. tonight and it will be delivered to your door by noon tomorrow."

What? Order tonight and it'll be delivered by noon tomorrow!

Jia Zhonghao was shocked: "YouTuan's prices are just as cheap as online shopping, but much faster! This is invincible!"

In 2008, online shopping was not well-developed, and logistics were slow.

Let alone next-day delivery, it would be good enough if it could even be shipped the next day.

JD.com takes at least 2-5 days.

Taobao delivery takes 3-7 days.

Amazon delivery time: 3-8 days.

Dangdang.com: 4-10 days.

Paipai.com: 5-12 days!
U-Tuan offers next-day noon delivery and even door-to-door service, with prices comparable to online shopping!
Absolutely unbeatable!

"Even as a competitor, I couldn't resist placing an order!" Jia Zhonghao exclaimed with deep emotion.

Jin Xingye agreed wholeheartedly: "I've already placed an order. I bought bread, ham sausages, and yogurt. I won't have to get up early for breakfast this morning. I put together fifty yuan and paid directly with Alipay. It will be delivered to my dorm for free tomorrow at noon."

"..." Jia Zhonghao's lips twitched: "Brother, I have these things too."

"It's different, Brother Hao. You'd have to buy it here for 80 or 90 yuan, and I'd have to come back myself, choose the items, and pay for it myself. It's almost 20 pounds, and I'd have to carry it back myself, climbing four flights of stairs. They only charge 50 yuan and deliver it to my dorm for free. How am I supposed to choose?"

Jia Zhonghao fell silent: "..."

Yes, how do we choose?
If it were him, everyone would choose YouTuan.com!

"It's over!"

"It's really over!"

"If Feihang Supermarket is finished, other school supermarkets will be in trouble too!"

Jia Zhonghao fully understood the future of YouTuan.com and the decline of traditional supermarkets like Feihang.

As for Hui Tuan, it's a joke.

No wonder Wang Junshan ignored him no matter what he did.

Jia Zhonghao thought that by following the trend and forming a Hui group, and using the privileges of the student council to cause trouble, he could become a rival to the You group, and Wang Junshan would be on high alert.

Unexpectedly, Wang Junshan didn't take it seriously at all and couldn't be bothered to pay any attention!
The two are not even in the same league!
"Sigh!" A sigh escaped her lips, filled with helplessness.

Jia Zhonghao understood that he had lost completely.

This time, we lost not only face, but also substance!
Even more critical is how to sell these goods in the supermarket.

Products with a long shelf life can be sold slowly, but fruit can't be stored for long!

Especially the Fei Zi Xiao sachets I ordered yesterday, there are still quite a few left, the refrigerator can't hold them all, they're about to go bad!
There's also a prepaid one-year rent plus transfer fee of 17 yuan. When will I be able to break even?
The more Jia Zhonghao thought about it, the more his head throbbed, and he felt completely overwhelmed.

As expected, as soon as YouTuan.com went live, FeiHang Supermarket's sales plummeted to rock bottom.

The same applies to the other supermarkets.

For anything that isn't an essential item that we need urgently today, everyone chooses to purchase it from YouTuan.com!
Unfortunately, the school supermarket, relying on its monopoly, sold all goods at inflated prices, making them 30%-100% more expensive than those in outside supermarkets! Years later, the Ministry of Education issued explicit price controls, which alleviated the situation somewhat.

But they're all incredibly expensive right now!

Previously, people had no other choice but to bite the bullet and buy overpriced goods from the school supermarket.

Now with YouTuan.com, prices are 20% cheaper than supermarkets outside and half the price of school supermarkets!
Orders over 30 yuan will be delivered to your dorm for free!

In this situation, who would be foolish enough to go to the supermarket to buy expensive products?
Got a problem with your brain?

I decided to buy directly from YouTuan.com.

For example, Wahaha purified water comes in a case of 24 bottles, with a wholesale price of 7.5-8.5 yuan per case.

A box sells for 30 yuan in supermarkets outside, but for 48 yuan in school supermarkets.

YouTuan.com sells it for only 25 yuan!
It's half price!
What's everyone's choice?
Anything that isn't absolutely necessary for today, I promptly purchase from YouTuan.com.

Shop directly online at YouTuan.com and pay with Alipay – it's convenient and hassle-free.

For smaller orders, you can pick them up at the YouTuan pickup point after lunch tomorrow.

For orders over 30, we offer free home delivery!

Both are very convenient.

As expected, YouTuan.com experienced a surge in orders as soon as it went online.

Not only did Binzhou University experience a surge in orders, but the other four universities also saw a surge in orders.

Wang Junshan was in high spirits as he watched the orders and revenue surge in the backend system.

The entire YouTuan Technology team was incredibly excited.

"President, as of 12 o'clock, Binda's order volume has exceeded 3000 orders, and the transaction amount has exceeded 10!"

"Hengxing Vocational College's order volume has exceeded 6000 orders, and the transaction amount has exceeded 20!"

"The Hotel Management School has received over 2500 orders, with a transaction volume exceeding 8!"

"USTC's order volume has exceeded 2000 orders, and the transaction amount has exceeded 6!"

"Qinda's order volume has exceeded 2000 orders, and the transaction amount has exceeded 6!"

"In just half a day, YouTuan's total orders from the five schools exceeded 15500, with a total transaction volume exceeding 50 yuan and a profit exceeding 30 yuan!"

"Good, very good, excellent!" Wang Junshan clapped with a smile.

Immediately, everyone in the room stood up and applauded!

Their faces were beaming with joy and excitement!
In just half a day, YouTuan.com's transaction volume exceeded 50 yuan, and its profit exceeded 30 yuan!
It has already far exceeded the profit of the entire previous day!

And it's still growing!

All I can say is that YouTuan.com has succeeded!
very successful!

After all, QQ Group Buying had its limitations before, offering only a few types of fruit and less than ten SKUs (stock keeping units), so revenue was naturally low.

But the current YouTuan.com is different. It has expanded its product range to hundreds of items and has over a thousand SKUs, resulting in much higher revenue.

During this period, the YouTuan product selection team went all out and visited hundreds of distributors of all sizes.

Most distributors are conservative and skeptical of YouTuan.com, and are unwilling to cooperate.

However, a few distributors are still willing to give it a try.

Especially after learning that the founder of YouTuan was a student from Binzhou University, I trusted them even more.

After all, you can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple.

In addition, previous collaborations were settled on a T+1 basis, so there wasn't much risk.

Ultimately, thirteen distributors signed cooperation agreements with YouTuan, while many others are still in talks or observing the situation.

It was thanks to the help of these distributors that YouTuan.com received a huge surge in orders on its first day of launch!
