Reborn in 08, a heretical cultivator starting a business

Chapter 18: Just how large is his business?
Yesterday, Wang Junshan said he could earn 50,000 yuan in three days, but Yu Xingyao thought he was just bragging.

He even thought earning 50,000 yuan a week was unrealistic, and still agreed to the bet.

Yu Xingyao was originally confident of victory, but when he arrived at school today, he heard that many students were buying winter melons!
Yu Xingyao sensed something was wrong.

When I went to the warehouse again, I was dumbfounded!
So many people are queuing up to pre-order winter melon!
Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that the first truckload of 20,000 jin of winter melons had already sold out!
Yu Xingyao knew he had lost.

Total defeat.

So they prepared some good tea and waited for Wang Junshan to come and collect the spoils!
Unexpectedly, they waited from morning until noon, and from noon until afternoon!
He didn't even take a nap, and Wang Junshan still didn't come.

What a waste of time!
Just then, a phone call came in:
"Director Yu, another truckload of winter melons has arrived, still 20,000 jin."

"That's the third car. Okay, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Xingyao fell silent.

Three truckloads of winter melons, 60,000 jin!

Wang Junshan's winter melon business is booming!
"What a talent!"

As soon as Yu Xingyao finished speaking, laughter rang out: "Director Yu, who is the real talent?"

Yu Xingyao was taken aback at first, then overjoyed:

"Junshan, come, sit down!"

"This year's new tea is waiting for you!"

"Thank you." Wang Junshan chuckled.

Just one day later, the treatment was completely different!
When he arrived yesterday at noon, Yu Xingyao raised various questions and even mocked him, advising him to be more down-to-earth.

But today, when I come back, I am warmly welcomed and treated to fine tea!
Ultimately, strength determines everything.

"Incredible, truly incredible!" Yu Xingyao exclaimed, as he brewed tea for Wang Junshan.

"You said you could earn 50,000 in three days, I thought you were joking."

"I can't believe you earned over 70,000 in just one day!"

Wang Junshan smiled faintly: "Director Yu, you've calculated everything for me."

"It's all settled. Winter melon, 20000 catties per truck. You bought it for about two mao, and you'll sell it for two yuan per catty."

"The sales started last night, and in just over ten hours, both cars have sold out, with a profit of over 70,000 yuan!"

"You can earn eighty or ninety thousand in a day! I don't even know what to say."

"Truly, talented people emerge in every generation!"

"Teacher apologizes to you. I was narrow-minded yesterday."

This attitude surprised even Wang Junshan:
"Director Yu, you flatter me. Without your warehouse support, my business wouldn't have been so successful. I will always remember this kindness."

Yu Xingyao waved his hand:
"Junshan is joking. What's a little support like that?"

"Our school has a high threshold for supporting student entrepreneurship, but the support is substantial."

"We will support any good project wholeheartedly."

"For example, your campus e-commerce project is something that both the vice principal in charge and I are very optimistic about."

Yesterday was Wang Junshan's first visit. He brought 5000 yuan worth of goods but had nothing to show for it, so naturally he didn't believe it.

But now, Wang Junshan can earn 80,000 to 90,000 yuan a day, so what's there to doubt?

He's absolutely talented!
Keep in mind, this was 80,000 to 90,000 in 2008!
He was a senior university director, earning three years' salary!

In short, this kid has a bright future ahead of him!
Binzhou University has struck gold!

Yu Xingyao quickly opened the folder on his computer:
"Junshan, look, this is the warehouse where you currently sell winter melons. You can use it from now on!"

"There is a 50-square-meter shop on the west side of this warehouse. We'll honor our bet and give it to you as a campus e-commerce store."

“In addition to that, there is extra support.”

Yu Xingyao opened another folder:

"There's also a small, unused meeting room on the east side of the warehouse, 150 square meters, which you can use as a startup office!"

As he spoke, Yu Xingyao opened the picture and showed the layout in detail.

Looking up, Wang Junshan saw a 50-square-meter store to the west of the warehouse and a 150-square-meter conference room to the east. Both were located in the heart of the dormitory area, making their locations excellent.

But a 50-square-meter shop is a bit too small.

There's no other way; the warehouse isn't worth much, so we can just give away 200 square meters.

However, the rent for shops near schools is very high, and every inch of land is precious; it would be good if they could provide 50 square meters.

Using a 150-square-meter conference room as an office would be a bit of an overkill.

"Director Yu, this conference room is in a great location. Could we turn it into a supermarket?"

"Turn it into a supermarket?" Yu Xingyao frowned. "In principle, it's not possible unless there's a particularly suitable reason."

Wang Junshan understood that there was room for discussion:
"Director Yu, my campus e-commerce business can't just be about group buying winter melons. Group buying winter melons is just a starting point, a way to earn initial capital."

"We will naturally scale up the business in the future, launch other product categories, and launch a campus e-commerce website."

"Although it's mainly e-commerce, operating online and delivering to schools, we still need a pick-up point; a 50-square-meter shop isn't enough."

"If we turn this 150-square-meter conference room into our group-buying supermarket, it can not only serve as a pick-up point, but also as a physical showroom for our campus e-commerce!"

"Many products can be displayed as samples in supermarkets so that students can experience them and thus be more willing to buy them online!"

Wang Junshan had a clear idea: group buying requires a pick-up point.

If you try to partner directly with a supermarket, the supermarkets on campus will most likely refuse.

After all, group buying deals offer prices that are much lower than those in supermarkets, which would severely impact their sales.

In the past, Meituan Youxuan, Duoduo Maicai, and the school supermarket did not cooperate with them, so you had to pick up your goods at the school gate.

That would be much more troublesome.

Especially for a university like Binzhou University, it's too big and very inconvenient.

Many people give up as soon as they hear that the school gate is so far away.

But if they have their own supermarket, then picking up the goods will be much more convenient.

In addition, online shopping is still in its development stage these days, and many people do not believe in it.

Especially for new products, people are hesitant to place orders if they can't see the actual product.

The supermarket could then designate a specific area to showcase samples of various new products, allowing students to experience them and thus be more likely to place an order.

Some fast-moving consumer goods, daily necessities, snacks, drinks, fruits, etc., can also be sold directly in supermarkets.

The plan is to develop it into a flash sale model, similar to Meituan's Elephant Supermarket and Cloud Warehouse Supermarket!

The 150-square-meter supermarket is filled with shelves, offering the product categories and sales volume of a supermarket with a floor area of ​​over 1,000 square meters.

Consumers place orders online and have them delivered to their door.

The main focus is on low cost and high output.

At present, the mobile Internet has not yet taken off, but college students have computers, and Wang Junshan's YouTuan is currently focusing on the campus economy.

Delivery is also handled by part-time students on campus, which keeps costs low and supports work-study programs.

With the subsequent development of mobile internet, it will gradually expand to office buildings and residential communities outside of schools.

"Hmm... Your idea is good, but whether it can be implemented still needs further investigation."

Yu Xingyao frowned: "If it can be implemented, where will your campus e-commerce office be located?"

Wang Junshan understood; the location of the office was something Yu Xingyao cared about, and it was also something the school cared about.

After all, once campus e-commerce is successful and grows big, with its headquarters located at Binzhou University, it would be equivalent to Binzhou University incubating such an excellent project, which would definitely be a political achievement!
Absolutely brilliant!

Schools also have faces.

Many people can even get promoted!
Therefore, in addition to the warehouses and shops involved in the bet, Yu Xingyao also secured a 150-square-meter conference room for Wang Junshan, hoping that Wang would use it as the startup headquarters and locate it at Binzhou University!
Unexpectedly, Wang Junshan wanted to use it as a supermarket!
"Director Yu, to be honest, my business is quite large. A 150-square-meter office is too small; it can't even fit a customer service department!"

Yu Xingyao's lips twitched: "..."

Wang Junshan had already planned ahead: "In the early stages, my startup location can be small, about 1500 square meters of office space will be enough. Later on, I'll need several buildings."

"!!!" Yu Xingyao was dumbfounded: "Just how big is his business?"
