Feng Yu and Kirilenko's eCommerce was also launched. It is a B2C model, and it is similar to Amazon.
But this is just the beginning, and it is still losing money. Feng Yu's focus now is to increase the number of registered users and let the users get used to buying products online.
But Russia's economy is not doing well now. If it weren't for the non-ferrous metals prices, Russia's economy would be worse.
Luckily, Russia's agriculture industry had been developing for the past two years, and the demand for imported food had decreased.
But Russia's urban-rural polarization is getting worse. The urban population is increasing, and the rural population is decreasing. Many places that used to be small towns are empty now.
No one wants to live in a sparsely populated place. The US, Canada, and Australia are not suitable in Russia. Many people from Hua Xia, especially the people from Longjiang province. It is more convenient for them to rent land in Russia.
This is considered a win-win situation. Russia's land is not barren, and Hua Xia's farmers are getting benefits.
Feng Yu felt he had launched his eCommerce eCommerce too early. Like Hua Xia, it is only suitable for the B2B model. Very few people will buy things online. At most, they will buy books.
It is not like before Feng Yu's rebirth, where people can buy luxury goods online, let alone daily necessities.
There was also one thing that made him feel helpless. The development of logistics was still not good enough. For example, Hua Xia's three biggest logistics companies. One is the government's postal service, and the other two are Wind and Rain Logistics and SF Logistics.
When Wang Wei set up SF Logistics, Feng Yu had lent Wang Wei 100,000 RMB. Feng Yu did not ask Wang Wei to pay him back, and Feng Yu does not know if Wang Wei still remembers this.
Feng Yu also does not want to take over SF Logistics. Although logistics is profitable, it is fine as long as they can work together in the future. Sometimes, Feng Yu wonders how Wang Wei will repay him if he appears in front of Wang Wei and tells him that he had borrowed money from him to set up this company.
Will Wang Wei repay him 10 times or 100 times, give him shares, or ask him what he wants? However, no matter what, Wang Wei's expression would be very interesting.
It was just like if one day, someone jumped in front of Feng Yu and told Feng Yu that he could be reborn because he changed the Book of Life and Death. How would he repay him?
Feng Yu knew that he would never be able to give his everything to this person. But if the other party wanted money, Feng Yu felt that he might be willing to take even half of his money. But if the other party wanted more, it would be hard to say.
Feng Yu did not intend to force Wang Wei to give him too much. However, it was impossible for Wang Wei to say that he did not want anything. In Feng Yu's previous life, Wang Wei was a very mysterious person. He did not accept interviews, and there was very little news about him on the internet. The company did not accept venture capital and would never go public.
Many people told Wang Wei that once SF Logistics went public, he would immediately enter the top of Hua Xia's Billionaires List and even the Asian Billionaires List.
But Wang Wei just asked the other party, why should I let Shunfeng go public? Shunfeng was profitable and did not lack funds. What was the point of going public? You still want to share your profits with others? Now that I am making money, why don't I share some with my employees?
Feng Yu liked this type of person. Maybe this person could become Feng Yu's friend.
From the 3 provinces in the northeast to Beijing, Wind and Rain Logistics had reached all the cities. In many regions, Wind and Rain Logistics had even reached the counties. But from Beijing to the south, Wind and rain Logistics could only reach the provincial capital and some major cities. Their network was not as good as the postal service.
But with better service and faster delivery, many people will choose Wind and Rain Logistics as their first choice for transporting goods between provinces. Wind and Rain Logistics is also cheaper. If they were long-term partners, there were still some discounts.
South of Yangtze River, SF Logistics could also reach the coastal provinces. It could even reach Hong Kong and Macau. As for the rest of the provinces, it could only reach the provincial capitals.
Just like this, these two logistics companies were second only to the postal service. In Feng Yu's previous life, when so many logistics companies existed, these two companies were not as prosperous as before.
In Feng Yu's previous life, other than Shunfeng, there were also Yunda, Yue Yue, Tian Tian, Zhai Express, and Tong Seng. There were also Debang, DHL, and other joint-venture or foreign-funded logistics companies. This did not include some provincial logistics companies.
It was these companies that ensured the rapid development of eCommerce. Many companies can guarantee that the goods will be delivered the next day after placing an order.
It could even be said that this had led to another popular profession, which was the delivery person. There were rumors that SF Logistics had more than 300,000 delivery personnel, and the entire industry should have a few million.
Now, SF Logistics only has slightly more than 1,000 trucks and 20,000 employees. Wind and Rain Logistics only has slightly more than 2,000 trucks and 30,000 employees. In Feng Yu's previous life, SF Logistics also had cargo planes.
But both Wind and Rain Logistics and SF Logistics were still making profits. Although they were not as big as those big logistics companies in Feng Yu's previous life, they were still doing well.
Russia's logistics company was newly built, and if it weren't for Kirilenko and the rest, their sales would drop by 90%!
Feng Yu realized that he was too impatient. You will not get any benefits if you set up this company first. Even if you set up this company now, you will still be at a disadvantage.
If Russia had set up this eCommerce and logistics company one or two years later, they would still be able to occupy the entire Eastern Europe market, and their expenses will be lower.
Today, Feng Yu realized that when he made his own decisions, he might make a mistake because of his arrogance. He might not even know it.
The next time he makes a decision, he should consult others. For example, Zong Qingxian, Masao Kameda, Fu Rongqi, etc. These people were better than him in certain aspects.
Also, he should do market research before making any decisions. There had been some changes in this world. Although the general trend had not changed, there might be some differences in the timeline.
Feng Yu rubbed his chin. Should he set up a team of advisors? It seems unnecessary.
Feng Yu knew that he was not the kind of person who listens to others' suggestions. A team of advisors might only be drinking tea and playing games. They will not be of any use to him.
Never mind. In the future, I will consider more before I do anything. But this small loss does not matter to him. In the future, it will bring him more benefits.
