After leaving Longhua Plaza, Li Dong was in no hurry to return to the company.
After getting into the car, Li Dong said to Tan Yong, "Bring me to the nearby express delivery point."
Tan Yong reported to Far away in mid-April. He had just joined the company not long ago and was not familiar with the company's procedures. It was not his turn to be Li Dong's driver.
However, Zhou Haidong and Zheng Long were not in the company recently. Cao Hongbing did not know how to drive, so Tan Yong had to be the driver.
After hearing Li Dong's words, Tan Yong quickly responded and started the car.
Li Dong sat in the car and began to think. Previously, he was most worried about the logistics problem. He did not expect the logistics problem to be the warehouse problem.
He did not know if the warehouse problem was serious or not.
Although Li Dong did not say anything at Longhua Supermarket, it did not mean that he did not care.
This was under his watch. If it was outside of Pingchuan, how many problems would the company have?
He reflected on himself. His boss seemed to be too far away from the grassroots.
Far away had opened many branches in the past year. Other than a few larger branches, Li Dong had not visited many of the other branches.
It was not just Li Dong. Sun Tao and the other higher-ups also did not go to the branches.
Li Dong was thinking if he should secretly inspect all the branches Far away in Jiangbei.
This was a huge project. Li Dong had not thought about this before. Now, he had to think about it.
The government was far away. If the higher-ups did not pay attention to it, the branch managers would have become the local tyrants. The company did not have many people in the inspection team. The inspection team was not strong. The possibility of problems occurring was very high.
Not only the branches outside of Pingchuan, but the branches in Pingchuan were not any better.
Disregarding everything else, Li Dong had never asked about the Distance Express Company that Qin Hai had set up, so he had no idea what was going on with it.
…
That day, Li Dong visited more than ten delivery points.
There were Far away's Far away Express and Far away's outsourced express delivery companies.
Every time Li Dong arrived at a store, he would get out of the car and chat with the couriers. He would ask about the mall's operations today and the delivery speed.
Overall, Pingchuan City was still fine. The transportation was convenient, and the delivery point covered a small area. Usually, delivery could be made in a timely manner.
The suburban area was much worse, especially the courier companies outside Far Away Mall. They not only accepted orders from Far Away Mall but also other orders. They didn't pay much attention to orders from Far Away Mall.
Li Dong saw that the people from the express delivery company had chosen to send Taobao's orders first before sending them to Far away.
Li Dong frowned. Maybe it was because Far Away Mall had just been launched and its sales were not good, and there were not many orders, so the express delivery companies did not pay much attention to it.
But this way, the logistics of Far Away Mall would be slowed down.
Pingchuan was still fine. Far Away Mall had a lot of stores and warehouses. It was easy to transfer goods and save a lot of time in the early stage.
But what about other places?
Copper Mountain and Mound City were still fine as there were stores located far away and warehouses for them to transfer goods. However, in some cities, not only did they not have stores, they did not even have a warehouse center. Hence, they had to transfer goods from the neighboring cities.
In the long run, Far Away Mall's promise of a 24-hour delivery might become a joke.
Li Dong was deep in thought. When he returned to the office, it was almost six o 'clock.
When he returned, Shen Qian rushed into his office.
Although Shen Qian was anxious, she had a satisfied smile on her face. When she saw Li Dong, Shen Qian smiled and said, "How was it? How was the inspection? "
"It was so-so. Let's not talk about me first. Looking at you, you have good news?"
Shen Qian could not hide her pride and said, "Do you still remember the task you gave me?"
Li Dong thought for a while and said, "1,000 orders a day for half a year?"
"Yes!"
Shen Qian smiled even more happily and asked, "Do you know how many orders we have processed today?"
"Definitely 500."
Li Dong said with certainty. Just from the delivery points that he was inspecting, he had processed about two to three hundred orders.
This was only a part of Pingchuan. The entire Pingchuan should be more than this.
If it was the whole of Jiangbei, it might be more than 500 orders.
Li Dong was actually very satisfied with this result. If he remembered correctly, last November, Jingdong only processed 500 orders a day.
Even now, there were more people online, and the number of netizens in the country had increased rapidly. But Jingdong only processed about 1,000 orders a day.
Jingdong served the whole country. Far away Mall was just Jiangbei.
To reach 500 orders, Li Dong was still very satisfied.
Shen Qian said proudly, "500 orders is nothing. Don't forget how many people used our stickers to chat in the morning. Just one sticker is better than the tens of millions we spent to promote our mall. "
Li Dong smiled and did not say anything. Stickers might be one of the reasons.
But without Far Away Mall's promotion, who would know about Far Away Mall?
If they did not know about Far Away Mall, who would know what your stickers were for? If it was just individual promotion, the impact would not be as big as now.
But Li Dong was too lazy to refute. He did not care about the process. He only cared about the results.
Seeing Shen Qian's expression, Li Dong smiled and said, "Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me, how many orders did you get today? What's the sales? "
Shen Qian suppressed her smugness and said happily, "As of 5: 30 AM, we received 1,862 orders and have processed 1,470. Today's mall sales exceeded 100,000!"
Li Dong curled his lips and said, "Only 100,000. What's there to be proud of?"
Shen Qian was still smiling and said nonchalantly, "What's the rush? It's just the beginning. Just wait and see. This month's sales will definitely exceed 5 million!"
Hearing this, Li Dong could not help but smile.
If they could exceed 5 million in sales in the first month, it would be a pleasant surprise.
This was just Jiangbei. What if they expanded to the whole country?
That meant that they could exceed 100 million in a month. Just thinking about it was exciting. If they expanded to the whole country, their annual sales would exceed 1 billion.
Of course, Taobao had already exceeded 8 billion last year.
But don't forget that Taobao was only a third-party platform. Their sales were from the entire platform. With so many merchants, the total sales was only 8 billion, which was not considered a lot.
If Li Dong could make Faraway Supermarket's online sales exceed 1 billion, he would definitely earn more than Taobao.
Cough, cough. Li Dong forced himself out of his fantasy.
1 billion was just a dream now. Far Away Mall was only open to Jiangbei now. Li Dong would be satisfied if the sales could reach 50 million by the end of the year.
As for exceeding 100 million, it would take time to prepare.
Shen Qian saw Li Dong laughing secretly. She could not help but smile and said, "Boss Li, you have already processed more than 1,000 orders a day. Don't you think you have to fulfill your promise?"
"What?"
Shen Qian's smile disappeared immediately. She said angrily, "You want to break the promise again?"
Only then did Li Dong react. He laughed dryly and said, "It's about the vice president, right? How can it be? I didn't think about it just now. "
Li Dong touched his chin and thought for a while. "This is not a problem. But the E-Commerce Department has just been established, and the mall has just been launched. Even if I promote you to Deputy CEO, you will still be responsible for the E-Commerce Department."
Shen Qian snorted. "That's fine. Anyway, you have to promote me first!"
Li Dong did not understand why she was so obsessed with the title of Deputy CEO, but he was too lazy to ask. He nodded and said, "Okay. I will announce it during the company's high-level meeting tomorrow morning. Is that okay?"
"Okay!"
Shen Qian agreed and said happily, "Oh yes, there is one more thing that I forgot to congratulate you. Today is considered a double blessing."
"What is it?"
"The list of supported enterprises from the provincial government is out. Far Away is on the list!"
Li Dong immediately stood up and said, "Really?!"
"Of course, it's true. I just came out. It was my dad's secretary who called me." Shen Qian smiled.
Li Dong rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "The provincial government supports us. Now we have the upper hand. Ke Long is not there, right? "
"He shouldn't be there. They have just been integrated. Unless Yao Hong spends a lot of money to build a relationship, there will be no way."
Li Dong laughed even more heartily and said, "Today is indeed a double blessing! Right, is the subsidy coming out? "
Shen Qian smiled and said, "Yes, but the subsidy is not much. We only got five million Far Away."
Li Dong's old face drooped. This was somewhat beyond his expectations.
He originally thought that even if it was not tens of millions or hundreds of millions, ten or twenty million would be fine. It would be a waste not to take the money for free.
But now the subsidy was only five million. It was a drop in the bucket. It was not of much use at all.
But no matter how small a mosquito's leg was, it was still meat. Li Dong reluctantly said, "It's better than nothing. Five million is fine too."
Shen Qian rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't act like you've gotten a bargain! The subsidy is nothing. Do you know what the support policies are? "
"I'm not sure."
Shen Qian knew it would be like this. She smiled and said, "First, the government will help us as a guarantor and provide us with an interest-free loan of fifty million."
"Fifty million …"
Li Dong nodded slightly and said, "Not bad. We can save a lot of expenses."
A loan of fifty million had a lot of interest a year. It was better to save as much as possible. This was a bargain. It would be a waste not to take it. Li Dong would definitely take the loan.
Shen Qian continued, "Second, tax deduction. 10% income tax deduction and 50% VAT refund! "
Hearing this, Li Dong's eyes lit up.
Tax deduction!
This was a big expense. The supermarket's taxes were not low. All kinds of taxes added together accounted for at least 30% of the profits.
According to the policies that Shen Qian mentioned, the tax deduction would reduce the taxes by at least half.
So far, the profits for this year had exceeded 600 million. That meant that the taxes would be about 200 million.
This deduction was a difference of 100 million!
Li Dong's mouth was crooked from smiling. He had really made a profit this time.
An interest-free loan of fifty million, a tax deduction of 100 million, a government subsidy of five million …
This was not counting the other support policies. The reputation of the government supporting the enterprise was also very valuable. The donation was really worth it!
