Chapter 79 Preparation
the next day.

Before nine o'clock, Liu Qiangdong, who was still a little hungover, was called up by the phone.

Qin Shaoyan had already brought the professional team of Jundexinheng Law Firm to block the door. Before Liu Qiangdong could recover, a thick stack of contracts was placed in front of him.

Liu Qiangdong looked at the contract on the table in a daze, then looked up at Qin Shaoyan, "Xiao Qin, are you too anxious?"

"Every minute is precious now." Qin Shaoyan couldn't wait to press Brother Dong's hand to sign the contract.

Liu Qiangdong saw that Qin Shaoyan was so anxious, so he had to call a lawyer friend to come and help.

Then the lawyers from both sides sat down to review the contract, while Qin Shaoyan and Liu Qiangdong discussed how to build warehousing, distribution and logistics.

"Most of the traditional warehousing areas are shared by the storage area and the picking area, because traditional warehousing is a small-variety, large-volume warehousing model."

"E-commerce warehousing has to deal with the characteristics of multiple varieties and small batches. At the same time, under the premise that manual operations are currently the mainstay, special storage areas must be used to improve storage utilization in order to improve picking efficiency."

Qin Shaoyan picked up a pen and started scribbling on a piece of white paper, writing down some key points that came to mind.

"We can learn from the experience of the American e-commerce giant Amazon. E-commerce warehousing has a large number of incoming and outgoing warehouses every day and many categories. In order to achieve the true accuracy of the data, very flexible inventory work is required."

"In this regard, we need to develop a warehousing system ourselves and have a dedicated program team stationed on site to deal with bugs at any time and listen to improvement suggestions while using it."

"In order to cope with the diversity of products and the different characteristics of customers' purchases, different packaging solutions must be selected according to different product characteristics."

Liu Qiangdong frowned upon hearing this, "Isn't it too expensive for us to do our own logistics?"

"For the sake of customers' shopping experience, this must be done." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "After all, we want to be an e-commerce platform, not an e-commerce platform like Taobao."

"If it is handed over to other couriers, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the goods. It may be damaged in the hands of the customer. How to deal with this?"

"And what we are doing now are all valuable electronic products, so we need to be more careful about logistics."

"This is indeed important." Liu Qiangdong nodded, "The customers of the campus network are all students at the school. It will be much more convenient if the delivery address is in the school. We can deliver the goods ourselves."

Qin Shaoyan said in agreement: "Yes, let's do it bit by bit. In the early stage, we will focus on the school and explore to establish our own warehousing and logistics system."

"At the beginning, we will only operate in Yanjing and Tianjin and Hong Kong. We can build a warehouse in each."

Liu Qiangdong took the map and looked at it for a while, then slapped it heavily with his palm, "Let's do it!"

After the legal team reviewed the contract, Liu Qiangdong solemnly signed his name, and the two parties began formal cooperation.

Jingdong, which is well-funded, immediately started recruiting people for its customer service, after-sales, warehousing, and logistics teams.

In order to save time, Liu Qiangdong offered three times the salary during the Spring Festival holiday and promised to increase his salary after the year.

The favorable conditions retained the team and made everyone at Jingdong full of motivation to fight.

Qin Shaoyan and Liu Qiangdong ran around non-stop, looking for warehouse locations and testing the warehouse management process.

For this reason, Qin Shaoyan pulled Chen Guangxia over and began to simulate the entire process from customer ordering to logistics distribution.

The work at the beginning was very tedious, and various problems always appeared. Brother Dong was so anxious that his mouth was blistering.

In the end, Brother Dong simply lived in the warehouse, smoothing out the process bit by bit and standardizing various systems.

It took a week and hundreds of simulations to finally get the whole process running smoothly.

Qin Shaoyan was relieved for the most part and held Liu Qiangdong's hand excitedly, "Brother Dong is still the best. If the campus e-commerce can be successful, Brother Dong should be credited with the first credit."

Liu Qiangdong, who looked haggard, beamed with joy at this time, "No matter how many awards there are, without the support of my brothers, I can't do it alone."

"That's also because Brother Dong has led well and built such a strong team." Qin Shaoyan looked around and said, "I think we can test it on a small scale around New Year's Day."

"Ah?!" Liu Qiangdong was stunned for a moment, "How do I test it?"

"Choose a few products for discount promotion, and choose universities in Yanjing HD area as samples, and push ads selectively." Qin Shaoyan turned to look at Chen Guangxia, "Brother Chen, is it technically possible?"

Chen Guangxia nodded without hesitation, "No problem, I'll just make a push based on school classification." Liu Qiangdong frowned, "Then what to sell?"

"MP3, MP4, clothing, choose these three to try first." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "I will handle the clothing. Brother Dong, you go get the electronic products."

With that said, Qin Shaoyan picked up the phone and dialed.

"Hey, Mr. Wang? Do you still have the game peripherals customized for the United States? Send me 50,000 pieces. Yes, send them directly to Yanjing."

……

Hong Fei walked into the company with a frown on his face early in the morning. After putting down his backpack on his seat, he walked into General Qin's office holding a newspaper.

"Mr. Qin, the newspapers are scolding us now."

Qin Shaoyan immediately beamed with joy, "This is a good thing! Which newspaper is it? Is it a local one or a foreign one?"

???

Hong Fei won't be able to deal with it now. Is it a good thing to be scolded by the newspaper?

Hong Fei put the newspaper in front of Qin Shaoyan, "Read it for yourself."

Qin Shaoyan glanced at the front page of the newspaper and was a little disappointed when he found it was not there. When he turned to the second page, he saw a huge headline.

"Are you sincerely seeking talents or are you deliberately pranking me?"

The newspaper criticized the campus network's poster without naming it, and even printed a photo of the poster with the campus network's name erased.

Qin Shaoyan nodded with a smile, "It's finally here, not bad."

Hong Fei's face was full of bewilderment, "How can I see that you are good? They are scolding us."

"They've already given you free advertising, so why don't you need a bicycle?" Qin Shaoyan was still smiling, "Teacher Hong, if we give this reporter some money, can he continue scolding him tomorrow?"

"..."

Mr. Qin is such a pig that he is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. This makes Hong Fei speechless. Your attitude is outrageous.

Qin Shaoyan looked at the date on the newspaper and nodded, "It's been almost two weeks since the posters were posted. It's time to change a batch."

"Teacher Hong, let's show everyone what colorful black is."

"What does it feel like to be a Fortune 500 person?"

Hong Fei was stunned, "What are you going to do this time?"

Qin Shaoyan immediately picked up the pen and paper and began to smear, "The black metal texture LOGO, the initials of the campus network (xiaoyuanwang), XY should be enlarged, larger than the Chinese character font."

"Blow the soap bubbles."

Hong Fei nodded, "I blew it."

"Aren't soap bubbles colorful in the sun?"

Hong Fei's eyes gradually brightened, "Yes!"

"Add that to the font. It would be best if it can be animated."

Teacher Hong clapped his hands and said suddenly, "I understand!"

"Draw out the LOGO today, and then change it directly to the homepage!" Qin Shaoyan stood up, "At the same time, tell Zhang Pingyi to open the e-commerce entrance and pull out the banner!"

“New Year’s Day discount sale!”
