It was a very long night.
Many people couldn't sleep, including Li Dong.
Li Dong wasn't that careless. Although he wasn't personally in the company, he was still paying attention to the situation.
For the whole night, Li Dong logged into various platforms on his computer while making calls to communicate with the company.
Early in the morning on the 18th, Li Dong rushed to the company.
Instead of going to his office, Li Dong went straight to Far Away Mall. Just as he was about to enter Shen Qian's office, Qi Fangfang, who was yawning, said softly, "Director Yuan just went in."
"Yuan Chengdao?"
Li Dong muttered and looked at Qi Fangfang suspiciously. What did this brat mean?
Because they had agreed to watch the e-commerce war, Qi Fangfang and Zhang Mengmeng came to the mall to work overtime yesterday.
Seeing Li Dong staring at her, Qi Fangfang pretended to be calm and said, "Why are you looking at me? Director Yuan came very early today. I think he brought breakfast in just now. It should be for Director Shen."
Li Dong glared at her and frowned. "Don't talk to me like this in the company. Also, you have to call me General Manager Li when we meet. That's rude!"
Qi Fangfang was a little annoyed. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Good morning, General Manager Li!"
Li Dong didn't care about her anymore, but his heart felt like it was covered in grass.
Damn it!
Could it be that Yuan Chengdao was trying to steal my woman?
It was really possible. This guy was Shen Qian's senior and junior, and they were also friends.
He was already in his thirties, but he was still unmarried. Could it be that he was really doing it for Shen Qian?
Also, when he came to Far Away, it was Shen Qian who introduced him. Li Dong didn't suspect Shen Qian, but he felt that the reason why Yuan Chengdao wanted to stay in Far Away might be because of Shen Qian.
The more Li Dong thought about it, the more speechless he became. He glared at Qi Fangfang again.
There was no need to guess. This brat definitely did it on purpose just now. Women with high IQ were indeed not easy to deal with.
Ignoring her, Li Dong pushed the door open and entered.
…
In the office.
Yuan Chengdao and Shen Qian were chatting face to face. When they heard the door open, they both looked over.
When he saw Li Dong, Yuan Chengdao hurriedly got up and greeted, "Good morning, General Manager Li. It's only half past seven. What are you doing today, General Manager Li?"
Li Dong chuckled and said, "I was worried about the promotion on the e-commerce side. I didn't expect Boss Yuan to come so early."
"I'm also a little worried about the situation here, so I came to take a look."
"Oh, then how about this. I'll have to trouble Director Yuan to gather the managers of the shopping mall. We'll have a meeting later to briefly discuss the situation."
Yuan Chengdao didn't suspect anything. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go first."
As they were talking, Shen Qian said, "Let Xiao Kong go and inform them."
Yuan Chengdao smiled and said, "It's okay. It's convenient. By the way, hurry up and eat your breakfast. It'll get cold later."
"Okay, thank you, Director Yuan."
The two talked briefly for a while. Yuan Chengdao said goodbye to Li Dong and went out.
When Yuan Chengdao left, Li Dong smiled and sat on Shen Qian's chair. Shen Qian rebuked, "What are you doing? Someone saw you!"
"What are you afraid of? Come, sit on my lap."
"Crazy."
Li Dong didn't care about her and forced Shen Qian to sit on his lap. Then he stared at the breakfast in front of him and snorted, "Director Yuan is really careful. He actually remembered that you didn't eat breakfast."
Shen Qian was a little strange about this guy's behavior at first. When he said words of jealousy, how could she not understand his thoughts?
Holding back the urge to laugh, Shen Qian pretended not to know, "Senior Brother Yuan has always been very careful. He's much better than someone."
Li Dong said embarrassedly, "Nonsense, I'm also very careful."
"Really? After a busy night, I'm really a little hungry. I can't talk to you anymore. Let's eat. "
"Don't eat!"
As Li Dong spoke, he took a bite of the bun and said vaguely, "I just asked Old Tan to buy it. It'll be here soon. It just so happens that I haven't eaten in the morning. Director Yuan's breakfast is mine."
"Pfft!"
Shen Qian finally couldn't hold back this time. She said with a flirtatious look, "Oh, you know how to be jealous? Do you know what it means to be jealous?"
"No, I don't need to be jealous."
"You're so stubborn."
Shen Qian laughed for a while and didn't continue to tease him. She explained, "Senior Brother Yuan and I are just ordinary friends. Don't be so narrow-minded. What era is it now? We can't not even have a friend of the opposite sex."
"Others can, but not Yuan Chengdao!"
Li Dong snorted and said, "This guy doesn't seem to have any good intentions. No, you guys are still too close. I'll fire him later."
Shen Qian laughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It won't be good if others hear it."
Li Dong said with a bitter face, "You're still defending him. You're defending another man in front of your man. Have you considered my feelings?"
Shen Qian pinched him hard and said grumpily, "Don't be crazy. The group has just stabilized. Senior Brother Yuan has just taken office, and the policies haven't been fully implemented. At this time, the group is still expanding. If you fire him now, the group will be in chaos. "
"Let it be. Anyway, don't let this guy have any ideas about you."
Seeing that he seemed to be really jealous, Shen Qian blushed slightly and said, "You bastard, what are you thinking? Even if Senior Brother Yuan has such ideas, am I that kind of person? I've known Senior Brother Yuan for many years. If he really has such ideas, it won't be your turn. "
"You're a man. Be more open-minded."
Li Dong huffed and puffed for a long time before he said, "Then when the group stabilizes, I'll fire him."
"Narrow-Minded."
Shen Qian rebuked him but didn't try to persuade him again.
Seeing her expression, Li Dong said proudly, "My wife is indeed on the same page as me. Come on, open your mouth. I'll feed you."
"Don't be so mushy. Besides, didn't you just say that I can't eat his breakfast?"
"That's just now. Now that I'm feeding you, it's mine. Just think of it as a gift from Yuan Chengdao to me."
"Shameless!"
"I've always been this shameless."
"…"
The two of them played for a while. When there was a knock on the door, Li Dong straightened his clothes and sat down across from them.
Tan Yong carried the breakfast into the door. He didn't look at it for long. He put it down and hurried out.
When he saw the figure at the door, Li Dong frowned and said, "Stop playing. Arrange for Qi Fangfang and the others to stay somewhere else."
Shen Qian snorted and said, "No, I want them here! If you're afraid, don't come here. "
"It's not that I'm afraid. The point is that it's meaningless for you to fight like this." Li Dong said helplessly, "The company's business is more important. It's okay to make a fuss behind closed doors. Don't make a fool of yourself in front of the company."
Hearing this, Shen Qian hesitated for a moment and said reluctantly, "Forget it. I was going to provoke you and let them see it. Then I'll let them inform that little girl and make her angry. But you're right. Business is business. Don't make a fool of yourself. "
Li Dong was speechless. This woman was really ruthless.
He didn't expect Shen Qian to have such an idea. Fortunately, she gave up the idea.
Otherwise, if she really did it, it would be embarrassing if it got out of hand.
After all, they were in the company. Li Dong didn't make a fuss. After Shen Qian finished her breakfast, the two of them went to the conference room together.
…
In the conference room.
Li Dong and Shen Qian had just sat down when Liu Hong reported, "General Manager Li, since last night, Taobao has joined the promotion."
"Joined at the last minute?"
"Yes."
Liu Hong replied and continued, "Actually, some of the merchants have already taken the initiative to join. It's just that the officials tacitly allowed them to not make an announcement. Now that the officials have made an announcement and even promoted the merchants who have joined the event, more and more merchants have taken the initiative to join."
Li Dong gently knocked on the table and said, "After all, they didn't prepare as much as we did. Even if they joined, the impact shouldn't be that big."
Liu Hong shook his head and said, "It still has a big impact. After all, Taobao's user base is bigger than ours. They have more loyal customers. Moreover, their price reduction is bigger than ours. The merchants lowered their prices on their own. Taobao will subsidize them. They even don't subsidize them at all. They just give them some promotion on their website. The price they paid is smaller than us, but the effect is not worse than us. Another thing is that they have a lot of merchants and a wide variety of products. Also, you should know that some of their products are really cheap and attracted a lot of buyers. "
Li Dong frowned. What Liu Hong said was true.
The number of users was one thing, and the variety of products was another. Taobao's biggest advantage was its cheap prices.
So far, the prices were not considered expensive. But the cost of branded products was still higher than the unlicensed products.
Taobao's individual merchants didn't want too many unlicensed products. Everyone knew this.
After thinking for a while, Li Dong said, "Contact the other big companies again and see if they can lower the price a little more. The cost price they offered was definitely inflated. Everyone was well aware of this. Tell them that if they can defeat Taobao this time, they will be able to recoup their losses.
We can't bear all the losses. If we lose too much, we will still have to do publicity for them. It's not worth it.
Of course, this is only one aspect. In terms of price, I'm afraid we don't have much of an advantage over Taobao.
Since the price is not good, then we will find another way.
Contact East Star Entertainment and ask them to help us come up with a publicity plan as soon as possible. Launch a comprehensive advertising campaign and see how the celebrity effect is.
Contact more A-list celebrities and invite a few Heavenly Kings and Queens to help. I want to launch a comprehensive advertising campaign on the Far Away Mall platform.
The promotional campaign will last for a month. It's best not to exceed ten days. It's fine if the advertising is simple. What I want is the celebrity effect.
Also, in terms of logistics … "
Speaking of logistics, Li Dong glanced around and didn't see Qin Hai. Instead, he saw a deputy general manager of a logistics company.
Li Dong didn't mind. He didn't inform Qin Hai in advance. It was enough for him to send a deputy general manager to attend the mall meeting.
Since Qin Hai wasn't around, Li Dong's tone wasn't that polite. He said to the deputy general manager of the logistics company, "Deputy General Manager Huang, you have to do all the supporting work on the logistics side! Speed up. Now, our logistics distribution points are spread over half of Hua Xia. No matter how busy or tired you are, you have to do it as fast as possible! Within 24 hours, as long as it's not in the Northwest, you have to deliver it to us! "
When the deputy general manager of the logistics company heard this, he immediately put on a long face and said, "General Manager Li, this …"
He didn't expect that he would receive such a task just by attending a meeting. Delivering within 24 hours was extremely difficult for the current logistics system.
It was fine if it was nearby, but it wasn't easy to do it if it was further away from the distribution point.
Furthermore, with such a rush, the logistics costs would definitely increase. It was clearly a matter of the mall, but their logistics company had to put in a lot of effort. This was too much of a scam.
Li Dong didn't give him a chance to refute and said seriously, "We have to do it! We can increase the employees' bonuses and salaries. If we don't have enough vehicles, we can temporarily borrow vehicles and channels from other logistics companies. We just have to pay more. Anyway, no matter what, we have to be faster than others. Do you understand? "
Since Li Dong had already said so, how could anyone dare to refute? Deputy General Manager Huang gritted his teeth and said, "Understood. I guarantee to complete the task!"
Li Dong nodded and said, "Logistics is the fastest, and the price isn't expensive. It's even branded, and there are celebrities promoting it. With so much capital invested, it shouldn't be a problem to surpass Taobao in a short period of time, right?"
Li Dong also didn't expect Far Away Mall to be able to beat Taobao after one event.
That wasn't realistic, but Li Dong felt that it was still possible to beat them within a month.
After spending so much money, if they couldn't even beat them within a month, then Li Dong would really vomit blood.
When Shen Qian heard him say this, she nodded and said, "We should be able to do it. After all, we are well-prepared this time. Based on last night's sales, we are much better than them … "
Speaking of sales, only then did Li Dong remember that he had forgotten to ask.
Without waiting for Shen Qian to finish speaking, Li Dong asked, "What's the sales so far?"
As they spoke, someone knocked on the glass door of the conference room.
When Liu Hong saw it, he said, "I asked them to report the statistics to me once every half an hour. It's a little past eight now, so the data should be out as of eight o 'clock."
Li Dong nodded and said, "Bring it over for me to have a look."
When Liu Hong heard that, he got up and went out. After a while, he returned with a smile and said, "General Manager Li, take a look."
Li Dong took the document and opened it. Then, his eyes lit up and he said, "140 million!"
There was a sudden gasp in the conference room. Many people were shocked.
Last night, many supervisors had taken turns to rest, so they didn't have time to ask about the results.
However, the sales in the first hour last night were only 30 million. Logically speaking, this figure would definitely drop by late at night.
After eight hours, everyone speculated that the sales should not exceed 100 million.
Who knew that it would far exceed their expectations and reach 140 million?
Seeing that everyone was shocked, Liu Hong also smiled from ear to ear and said, "I didn't expect this result either. It seems that our customers like to shop at night."
Everyone laughed. Li Dong was also satisfied and said, "This result is also beyond my expectations. Very good! I won't say much else. Immediately implement what I just said. Also, publish the announcement on the website for logistics delivery in a day. I want to see if SF Express and Three Links and One Reach can achieve this in a day! I don't believe that they can do it after serving so many platforms. "
The others nodded. The other logistics companies were not prepared in advance. In addition, they were not the same company, so it would take time to communicate.
Even if they could really do it, I'm afraid that by the time the agreement was reached, the results would have been seen in Far away.
