rebirth against the times

The place Liang Ying chose was not considered high-end, it was just a restaurant that was better than a food stall. As soon as he walked into the restaurant, he saw a group of migrant workers eating and drinking around a few tables. If he hadn't suddenly seen

After seeing Liang Ying and Cao An, Bai Shuo really thought he had come to the wrong place. Liang Ying also saw the three of Bai Shuo, and enthusiastically took them inside and came to a table. Bai Shuo noticed that the people at this table were

They were obviously more polite than the other tables, but apart from Liang Ying, Cao An, and Niu Er, I didn't know anyone else. There were three seats left at this table, and they were obviously reserved for the three of them, and Bai Shuo was not polite.

, pulled out a chair, wiped it with his hands, and asked Li Zhen to sit first, then he sat down next to him, and Cao An sat next to the pillar.

At this time, Liang Ying happily shouted to everyone: "Hey, everyone, please be quiet. Let me introduce to you. This is my good brother I just mentioned, Bai Shuo, Mr. Bai."

"Hello, Mr. Bai!!!" Liang Ying had just finished the introduction, and before Bai Shuo had time to say hello, everyone greeted Bai Shuo in unison with great enthusiasm. The posture really felt a bit like Brother Pao.

Bai Shuo even unconsciously clasped his hands and said, "Hello, everyone! Hello, everyone!"

After the introduction, everyone went back to their seats, and the whole restaurant became noisy again. Bai Shuo then realized that the entire restaurant was reserved by Liang Ying, and no other guests were received. However, brothers Liang Ying alone were sitting at 5 tables.

.

Looking back, Liang Ying had already poured a full glass of wine for everyone. Then he introduced the other four people to Bai Shuo, Zhu Zhu and others, namely Brother Wang, Brother Li, Brother Zhang, and Brother Liu. They are these

The leader of the group, Bai Shuo, saw four people, all of whom were around 30 years old. They were vigorous and fierce, with simple and honest faces. They were just starting their careers. Liang Ying said to Niu Er again: "Brother Niu Er, those brothers

Most of the time, it's all about drinking and not having fun. You have to help me calm down the situation today." Niu Er knew his mission today and said with a smile: "Mr. Liang, don't worry, I know my mission. This kind of

I like the mission the most, don't worry." Everyone burst into laughter at Niu Er's words. At Liang Ying's suggestion, they raised their glasses first and took a big sip. Bai Shuo was a little hungry, so he put down his glass and took a sip.

I ordered a piece of twice-cooked pork to eat. As soon as Bai Shuo ate it, his eyes lit up, and he took a few bites of other dishes. Only then did he realize that although this restaurant didn't look good and the dishes didn't look good,

It tastes really good.

Liang Ying obviously saw Bai Shuo's doubts, and smiled and explained to Bai Shuo and others. It turns out that these people eating today are all partners of a purchasing and delivery service project that Liang Ying used to run. This project was used by Bai Shuo.

I heard it mentioned by Liang Ying, but I didn't understand it in detail. In fact, Liang Ying came up with this project himself. He found that the pace of work and life of urban people is getting faster and faster, and the socialization of housework is an inevitable trend.

In the future, more and more people may not want to do anything except work when they get home from work. They may even be too lazy to go out to buy things or eat. So Liang Ying gathered a group of people who are good at riding motorcycles but have relatively low educational levels.

People who had difficulty finding jobs in the city set up a delivery service company. As long as customers have needs, they will ride motorcycles through every corner of the city to help customers purchase, deliver things, and even do everything they can.

Help customers run errands. The owner of this restaurant used to be one of them. Later, after he opened this restaurant, because they were all old acquaintances and had good quality and low prices, this became the focus of this group of people.

It is a gathering place where everyone likes to eat here in their free time and chat with each other about the day's errands.

After hearing the introduction, Bai Shuo looked at Liang Ying with some surprise. He suddenly thought of the "certain regiment" in later generations and its army of millions of riders. If Liang Ying continued to develop this, wouldn't it be similar to "a certain regiment"?

The predecessor of "group"?

"What is your project or company called?" Bai Shuo asked.

Liang Ying scratched her head and said with some embarrassment: "Didn't I work as a son-in-law in the Bai family at that time? Everyone said that I was a waste. In order to cover up, I willingly became a waste. The word waste is used in our Hong Kong Island.

Generally speaking, they are called losers, and many of these brothers feel like me, they have no ability and are looked down upon by others, so I organized this group of brothers and named it the "Wastebag Alliance", and the company I formed was also

It’s called a useless errand service company.”

Hearing this, Bai Shuo looked at the "waste" people present. These people looked simple and honest, and they may not have much knowledge or ability, but their faces revealed a sense of perseverance and self-improvement that refused to admit defeat.

"Damn it, what's the name of this? Why did you give up on such a good project? Didn't you ever think about making it bigger?" Bai Shuo said with hatred.

Liang Ying felt the change in Bai Shuo's tone, and said for a moment: "Isn't it because I was afraid of being sabotaged before, so I never dared to invest too much, as long as the brothers can have enough food and clothing. Later, I didn't hang out with you.

You are doing other things, how can you still have time to do this? These brothers are taking care of this matter now." Speaking of this, Liang Ying pointed to Wang, Li, Zhang and Liu at the same table, and then

He continued: "Besides, if this business wants to grow, there are still many conditions that are not met, such as personnel management, order management, information management, cost accounting, etc., all of which require great efforts to solve."

"Yes, I often have to talk to customers for a long time to accept a task. Some people who purchase a larger amount do not dare to accept it for fear of something going wrong. It is still a lot of trouble." "The information from the merchants is not symmetrical either.

, we are sometimes very frustrated when we are caught in the middle." "I am satisfied with just having enough food and clothing. If I want to expand the business, it will be a bit difficult." At this time, Wang, Li, Zhang, and Liu also started talking.

started to complain.

"You guys are stupid. In the future, an app will fully automate information management and data processing, and seamlessly connect customers, merchants, and riders. It will not be so laborious." Bai Shuo said excitedly.

"App?" Liang Ying asked doubtfully.

"Um, app is the software used on smartphones in the future." Bai Shuo realized that he was speechless and quickly explained. Li Zhen glanced at Bai Shuo lightly and knew that he had pulled out those things in his memory again.

Looking at his embarrassed look, he couldn't hold back and smiled.

Bai Shuo paused and saw that everyone was listening to the conversation between him and Liang Ying, so he said to everyone: "Brothers, I think the word useless should not be used on you. You rely on your own labor to make your own progress.

Sweat brings convenience to every customer and contributes to the economic development of this city. Although the things you do are humble, every worker deserves respect and should not be looked down upon. And what you have done

This thing is actually a very meaningful and great thing. You may not think of it now, but I can guarantee that in five years, no! Three years. After three years, everything you have done will rewrite the history of the world.

era."

At this time, Bai Shuo turned his head and looked at Liang Ying and continued: "Old Liang, think about it, after smart phones become popular in the future, everyone can use the software on the phone to check the merchants and stores in the city no matter where they go.

, you can place an order on your mobile phone to buy or eat whatever you want, and then your riders will go to the merchant to pick up the goods according to the order, and then deliver it to the customer in a very short time. If you can achieve this effect, you

Do you think such a project is worth pursuing?"

Liang Ying thought for a while based on Bai Shuo's description: "Oh my God, if such an operation can be realized, it will simply change people's lifestyles, and even change the times. Now a certain treasure actually has such a

Function, but the difference is that his one is more similar to an online business, while your idea is to create a city-wide economic circle, focusing more on services and changes in people's lifestyles."

Cao An thought for a while and said: "Yes, after all, Xubao is slow in efficiency. They can't play much role in things that need to be delivered urgently, such as fresh food, fruits, and cooked food. This project can just make up for this gap."

"Well, yes, speaking of this, I think logistics will be a very important development direction in the future, whether it is online shopping or intra-city delivery. The current postal service is outdated and will not be able to keep up with the pace of development in the future. This

We must also grab a piece of cake, as much as we can grab. In the future, companies that can control e-commerce and logistics distribution will surely stand at the top of economic and trade." Bai Shuo continued. He had already discovered that those who heard these words

Many riders had a different light in their eyes, but he couldn't find that Li Zhen's eyes looking at him had changed, like a little girl full of admiration, but with a trace of entanglement.

.

Liang Ying nodded: "Let's not talk about big logistics. Let's just talk about intra-city distribution. If we cover every city as you said, how many people will be needed to do this?"

Bai Shuo smiled: "In the future, as technology develops, it will not be impossible to realize unmanned delivery. But for now, we can only rely on manual services. How many do you brothers have left?"

Liang Ying glanced at everyone, pursed her lips and said, "There are already about 50 people."

Bai Shuo exaggeratedly said, "Look at you, 50 people is a lot? Let me tell you, if we really increase the business volume, 50 people may only be enough for our Baijia Town."

In the future, the number of riders nationwide will be at least one million. The number of online merchants across the country will be at least hundreds of millions, and the companies at the top of this business will be worth at least one trillion."

At this time, everyone at the scene was stunned. Those honest riders had no idea how much money a trillion was. Liang Ying also saw the huge business opportunities in this area and asked eagerly: "Then what should we do?

How to do it?"

Bai Shuo smiled: "What else can we do? In line with the development of smartphones and 3G and 4G technologies, one year for planning and two years for laying the foundation. I estimate that smartphones and 3G networks should gradually mature in three years.

That’s when you’ll experience explosive growth. But then there will definitely be a competition among the best, and there will inevitably be a life-and-death fight. Although we can move fast and seize a lot of opportunities, we must be prepared to spend money in the early stage.”

Liang Ying thought for a while and said resolutely: "As long as we can break out of the encirclement, no matter how much money we spend, it is worth it. We will start making plans now. Then we will compete with them in terms of speed, experience, and money. Let us compete with them."

They will always be left behind us."

Bai Shuo patted Liang Ying teasingly: "Okay, if you have courage, don't say how much this company will be worth by then. With your army of millions of riders, in China, if you just stamp on it

It can make the earth tremble."

Liang Ying lifted Bai Shuo's hand and said, "Go away, if I want to cause another Wenchuan earthquake, I will be a sinner."

Everyone burst into laughter, and everyone seemed to be inspired, and the atmosphere became more lively. For a while, everyone was eating meat and drinking heavily, which was very lively.

After the party ended that night, Liang Ying took Bai Shuo and others to the rented house, regardless of everyone drinking, and talked about business development. He felt that even if he wanted to do this, he couldn't do it alone.

, after all, Bai Shuo is more experienced in this matter. Like this kind of crossing the river by feeling for the stones, if you are not careful, you can easily be caught up by others, or even capsize forever. But Bai Shuo seemed to still reminisce about the smell of the restaurant, and ignored Liang

After Ying's words, he suddenly said: "By the way, I said that in the future, when we receive guests and have gatherings, we must have a base. How about we also open a hotel or something?"

Cao An immediately responded: "That's right, if you want to open one, just open a global chain store like that one of Xi'er. Then no matter where we go, we will have a place to stay."

"It's Hilton," Li Zhen said.

"Well, that's right, it's the Hilton. That's the kind I'm talking about. By then, every hotel's restaurant will have an international chef in charge, and I just love to eat..."

Bai Shuo slapped Cao An on the head: "You think opening a hotel is a joke. Do you know how rich Hilton is? I think we will open one in Shudu first, mainly so that we can have a place to stay in the future."

"Why, you're afraid that you won't have a place to stay in the capital of Shu. You mean to rent a house outside every day in the future." Zhu Zhu, who had been dully-headed, suddenly said something at this time, which made Bai Shuo speechless.

"Hey, hey, let me tell you, aren't we here to discuss intra-city delivery? Why are we talking about hotels again?" Liang Ying saw that everyone had gone astray, and hurriedly pulled everyone back from their thoughts.

"Haha, it's the same thing. In the future, hotels will also need online business support, and online shopping business will also need physical support. If the hotel becomes bigger and gives you an exclusive price for your app in the future, it will not kill other competitors.

"Bai Shuo said cheerfully.

"Well, that's right. Then this hotel... Oops, I'm off track again. Let's talk about the delivery business quickly."

"What else is there to say? Set up a company, recruit a professional team, make plans, and lay the foundation. You can first build a website similar to Taobao and establish channels in various places. The rest can only wait."

Liang Ying said bitterly: "Hey, it feels so uncomfortable to wait. You said it would be great if this 3G business could also be in our hands."

Bai Shuo was shocked. Liang Ying had such a big appetite that he actually came up with the idea of ​​telecommunications business. But it was really a good idea. 3G could not catch up. If he could dominate 4G technology, that would be great. Suddenly Bai Shuo

Shuo thought about the agreement reached with Steve again. This matter was disrupted by the earthquake resistance and was delayed a lot of time, so he had to hurry up.

Finally, after everyone's discussion, it was decided to establish "Lezhong Online Technology Company". The company will focus on building "Orchestral Network" to enter the online shopping and urban distribution business. The company invested 100 million yuan in the first phase, with Liang Ying investing 20 million yuan and accounting for 20% of the shares.

%; Bai Shuo invested 15 million, accounting for 15% of the shares; Changge Investment Company invested 15 million, accounting for 15% of the shares; Dahua Holdings invested 20 million, accounting for 20% of the shares; Baima Brothers invested 10 million, accounting for 10% of the shares; Hengan

The media invested 10 million, accounting for 10% of the shares; Huaying Investment Company, a subsidiary of Huaying Group, invested 5 million, accounting for 5% of the shares; the Waste Chai Alliance paid 5 million to join the new company, accounting for 5% of the shares. Liang Ying is the chairman of the company, and Bai Shuo is appointed

Senior consultant. The company will first make market planning and layout. When the time is ripe and rapid development is needed, it will then invest in expanding shares or raising funds from the public based on the shareholding ratio.

While confirming the good band network, Bai Shuo and Cao An also actively decided on the hotel. Bai Shuo personally invested 500 million, the Baima brothers invested 200 million, and Huaying Group invested 300 million, totaling 1 billion.

Shudu founded the "Huatang Hotel Group". However, Bai Shuo suggested that the purchase of land, planning and construction of the hotel should be postponed to the end of the year, because when the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States completely breaks out, it is the best time to buy low-priced industrial assets.

The timing. At that time, one of the ready-made hotels might close down, which would be the perfect time to start a new hotel.
