Reborn in 08, Public Enemy of Competitors

Early morning, Zehou Law Firm.

"Knock knock knock".

Liu Lan knocked on the door, strode in, and handed over a stack of documents. "Qingyan, did you know Shen Mo is in the news?"

"I saw it."

Lin Qingyan pointed to the computer.

On the homepage of Tencent News' Jiangsu-Zhejiang channel, there was a news report.

The eye-catching headline reads: "Shocking! Zhejiang University of Science and Technology students take advantage of the Olympics and spend 10 yuan to play with e-commerce."

"I don't know how Shen Mo's brain works."

Liu Lan couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Qingyan said, "Yes, it's amazing that they could think of using the Olympics as a topic to promote their website."

"Who can argue with that!"

Liu Lan leaned closer and said, "Qingyan, you didn't see it, but even our business student group is in an uproar. The screen is full of links and screenshots of his website, and everyone is talking about Shen Mo and his website."

Lin Qingyan clasped her hands together: "Xiao Lan, have you used the website?"

"I won 2.4 yuan in the 'Daily Gold Medal Guessing Game'!"

Liu Lan nodded, "But this Shen Mo is too cunning; he insists on a minimum withdrawal amount of 5 yuan."

Lin Qingyan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "It's to make those of you who can't withdraw cash obediently spend money to buy things."

"you do not say!"

Liu Lan stuck out her tongue and said, "In the end, I couldn't resist and picked out a floral dress. It looks pretty good, and with the rebate, it's more than ten yuan cheaper than buying it directly on Taobao. It's such a great deal."

"Cashback comparison, how could he even think of that!"

Lin Qingyan said, "This kind of e-commerce service has never existed before. It really understands what girls are thinking."

Liu Lan said, "Um, Sister Qingyan, there's something else. Lawyer Wang heard that we handled the registration of Shen Mo's company, and he wants to..."

"So, you're looking to establish a long-term partnership?"

Lin Qingyan tapped the table lightly. "That's what I think too. This guy might actually be a great customer in the future."

Liu Lan pressed further, "How do we get in touch with him?"

"That's easy, just use the excuse of stock trading to get close to him."

Lin Qingyan opened the stock trading software.

Liu Lan exclaimed, "Wow, Qingyan, it's all green!"

"Don't mention the word 'green' to me right now."

Lin Qingyan was both angry and amused. "Let's see if the opening of the Olympics can boost the stock market. If it continues to fall, well, it'll fall..."

Liu Lan muttered, "Can't the stock market just not fall?"

"For A-shares to stop falling, three things must be done."

"Which three points?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon."

Lin Qingyan's smile looked even more pathetic than her tears.

I took Shen Mo's advice and sold 5% of my position. I held onto the remaining 5%, unable to part with it.

As a result, the market index plummeted from 2800 points to 2600 points, like being slowly cut with a dull knife.

It hurts! It hurts so much! It hurts even more than my period!

………………

Meanwhile, a group of unexpected guests arrived at the student activity center, including Dean Zhao and Fan Jin.

"Principal Kong, that's Shen Mo!"

"Hello, Principal."

Shen Mo noticed Fan Jin's suggestive glance and immediately put on a warm, smiling face.

He strode up to Principal Kong, Dean Zhao, and the others, and said in a humble yet assertive manner, "Welcome to Room 308 of the Entrepreneurship Park. Without your strong support, our project could not have progressed so smoothly..."

"Shen Mo, I saw the news online today."

Principal Kong patted him on the shoulder, "Your entrepreneurial project is doing well. What experience do you have to share with the teachers?"

Shen Mo glanced at them and saw several unfamiliar faces besides Dean Zhao from the School of Information and Electronics, but they all had an extraordinary air about them.

It's probably also a leader from another college, or even a dean.

"Principal, I'm still a student, what experience do I have?"

"The reason we have achieved this little bit of success is entirely due to the meticulous guidance of Director Fan, the key training of Dean Zhao, the support of all the teachers in the School of Information and Electronics, and the strong assistance of outstanding senior students from other schools..."

Upon hearing this, Dean Zhao straightened his back unconsciously and gave a wink to the deans of the School of Business and the School of Humanities next to him.

Look, these are the pride of my School of Information Science!

Seeing how flawlessly Shen Mo answered, Fan Jin was secretly surprised. This kid is something else!

"Tell me about your project."

Principal Kong waved his hand, interrupting Shen Mo's elaborate flattery.

"Yes, Principal, please come with me."

"Our project is a new type of e-commerce service..."

Shen Mo spoke eloquently, leading everyone into room 310 and to his computer.

The screen displays the website's backend data, showing a steep upward curve in registrations and real-time order updates.

"What is this number?"

Principal Kong pointed to a string of numbers, which displayed "48359".

"This is the actual number of registered users on the website."

Shen Mo said in a serious tone, "According to our plan, by the end of the year, we aim to achieve a DAU (Daily Active Users) of over 1000 for the website and a monthly revenue exceeding 10 million, or even higher..."

Are you confident?

Principal Kong raised an eyebrow.

"As far as I know, Taobao alone has 9600 million users. Even with a conversion rate of only 0.1%, that's nearly 10 users..."

Shen Mo remained completely unfazed, speaking with an air of nonchalance, as if he were discussing a trivial matter.

Whether Principal Kong, Dean Zhao, Fan Jin, and others believe it or not is none of his business. Can starting a business be called "hype"?

………………

"Shen Mo, your project was incubated in the startup park, so it's only natural that the school should provide you with some necessary assistance."

Principal Kong was very interested, especially since Hangzhou Normal University produced a Jack Ma.

If Shen Mo truly keeps his word, it will mean that Jiangsu University of Science and Technology has achieved remarkable results in student entrepreneurship.

Even if it can't compare to Zhejiang University and Hangzhou Normal University, it's at least better than the other universities in Xiasha University Town, such as Business Administration, Metrology, Finance and Economics, and Media Studies!

"Tell me, what do you need most right now?"

"Principal, as you can see, our project is just getting started, and there are many things to consider."

Shen Mo feigned difficulty: "But summer vacation is almost over, and school will start again soon. There are some classes I just can't find the time for..."

"Dean Zhao, please tell the teachers in the college that you can be a little more lenient on Shen Mo's attendance in the future."

Principal Kong readily replied, "Starting a business can also be considered a form of learning."

"Thank you, Principal. Thank you, Dean."

Shen Mo grinned. "Also, could you give us one or two more offices here?"

Everyone, including Fan Jin, was astonished. Principal Kong smiled and narrowed his eyes, "What, are you going to recruit more people?"

"That's right, I plan to expand the staff size on the service side, product side, and traffic side after the start of the semester."

"For example, the external investment team, the business development team, the product selection and operations team, the category editor, the price comparison editor..."

Shen Mo counted on his fingers, "There are so many people, these two offices can't hold them all."

"Good! Very good!"

Principal Kong burst into laughter. "Director Fan, did you hear that?"

"Yes, Principal, I will arrange a new office for Shen Mo as soon as possible."

Fan Jin rubbed his hands together. "Why don't we just move to the work-study and entrepreneurship center? There's a large 120-square-meter office space there that's empty..."

"Director Fan, we're used to staying on the third floor, and the renovations, broadband, and air conditioning are all here..."

Du Manqing's face flashed through Shen Mo's mind. He waved his hand, politely declining.

wrong!

It's not because of her that I'm reluctant to move!

"Then let's arrange it for him in this building."

Principal Kong waved his hand, his tone conveying an unquestionable decisiveness.

"Thank you for your understanding, Principal!"

Shen Mo then led them to room 308.

Xu Kun, Zhong Xue, and others got a chance to show their faces in front of the leaders and carefully reported on the development process.

Before leaving, Principal Kong encouraged Shen Mo with a few words, telling him to sign up for the first "Cyber ​​Cup College Student Entrepreneurship Competition".

After seeing off each of the large Buddha statues, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Wenbin asked anxiously, "Brother Mo, is it really possible for us to achieve a turnover of 1000 million by the end of the year?"

Shen Mo curled his lip, "Don't even mention 10 million, even 1000 million or 1 billion wouldn't be a problem!"

"Brother Mo, let's stop dreaming in broad daylight."

Xu Kun, Zhang Wei, and the others exchanged smiles, taking it as Shen Mo bragging.

After all, 10 million is already an astronomical figure for them, let alone 1000 billion.

"Even if you're dreaming, why not dream bigger?"

Shen Mo looked around and said irritably, "Damn it, you guys don't even dare to dream about it, do you?!"

They scratched their heads and gave an embarrassed smile.

"Forget it, you don't need to dream about it now. You'll see it with your own eyes sooner or later. Just don't be scared."

Shen Mo asked with a hint of helplessness, "Have the number of orders exceeded 1000 yet?"

"Still a little short."

No sooner had Zhong Xue finished speaking than Shen Mo sat down beside her, his gaze fixed on her screen.

The backend data shows that there were 872 orders that day, with a total sales volume of 26757.6 yuan, and the average price per order was just over 30 yuan.

The best-selling item was undoubtedly the Olympic T-shirt priced at 19.9 yuan.

Riding the wave of the Olympics, they sold a whopping 214 items in a single day.

Of course, this booming sales are also thanks to YiTaoGO's aggressive rebate strategy.

On Ali Mama, commission rates vary greatly depending on the product category, ranging from as low as 2% to as high as 30%.

EtaoGO returns 50% to 70% of the commissions from categories such as cosmetics and clothing to consumers.

"Estimated gross profit of 5924, not bad, almost broke 6000."

Shen Mo did some mental calculations and realized that the first day had already reached 70% of the current Woshouwang (handshake network) level.

"Brother Mo, the prize pool for our naming voting event has reached 13, no, almost 14."

Qin Feng offered a reminder.

"You've broadened your horizons, Fengzi!"

Shen Mo said, "Look at this 14 yuan. Didn't it bring us over 5 users? And according to our algorithm, 99% of the winners don't reach the withdrawal threshold. Do you think they'll give up this money, or choose to place the next order?"

"Most will choose to place the next order."

Zhong Xue smiled and said, "I've calculated it. Based on the current gross profit margin, the actual expenditure for these activities will not exceed 5 yuan."

"That's right, never focus on small gains, focus on the big picture!"

Shen Mo repeatedly urged them, yawning, "You guys keep working, I'm going back to get some sleep. I stayed up all night last night, I'm exhausted."
