Reborn in 08, a heretical cultivator starting a business

Chapter 58: First Day Revenue of One Million, the Tool Man Shows His Power
For fruits and vegetables, Lin Zhiqiang and several other distributors signed exclusive supply agreements.

For alcoholic beverages and dairy drinks, we also signed contracts with several distributors.

Basically, a distributor can supply several to dozens of products, and dozens to hundreds of SKUs (stock keeping units).

(A product having different packaging sizes leads to an increase in SKU inventory units. For example, Coca-Cola has 330-bottle packs, 600-bottle packs, 330-can packs, 2L large bottles, and 2.5L large bottles, resulting in 5 different SKUs.)
Like Tsingtao Brewery's distributors, they also supply Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Mirinda, Sprite, Huiyuan Juice, Wahaha, Ice Dew, and many others!
When negotiating with the next end customer, it won't just be beer; it will be all kinds of alcoholic beverages, delivered in one truckload.

YouTuan signed a contract with a liquor distributor, which also brought in a wide range of other beverages and bottled water.

The same applies to snacks and general merchandise.

A large distributor can supply dozens of kinds of snacks and general merchandise, with hundreds of SKUs!

That's why just a dozen or so distributors provided YouTuan with over 400 products and thousands of SKUs!

It's not much different from the large supermarkets on campus.

Feihang Supermarket, being a medium-sized supermarket, naturally can't compare.

Moreover, the prices are 70% to 50% of the school supermarket prices, which are even cheaper than supermarkets outside. They also offer home delivery for orders over 30. It would be abnormal if they didn't have a surge in orders!
The orders in half a day exceeded the profits of the previous day.

With afternoon and evening orders added, the number could potentially double.

"At this rate, it shouldn't be a problem for YouTuan.com to break one million in revenue today."

Wang Junshan had a plan.

Tang Jinghe nodded: "It's very likely. This has exceeded our expectations and will put some pressure on sorting and delivery."

"That's right, then let's prepare in advance."

"Immediately place orders with those distributors, requiring them to deliver fresh produce to our central warehouse by 6 PM in quantities equal to 2.2 times the current order volume, and non-fresh produce in quantities equal to 3 times the current order volume! Once the goods arrive, begin sorting and packaging immediately!"

"Yes!" the senior executives replied hastily.

Wang Junshan then changed the subject: "There's also logistics. With orders surging today, the pressure on logistics and delivery will increase significantly tomorrow."

Logistics supervisor Xu Jingshuo said with a serious expression: "Yes, but we have strict requirements for recruiting drivers. We need them by tomorrow, and it's too late to recruit them now."

Wang Junshan nodded: "Try to recruit as many as you can, as long as they are reliable. If we really don't have enough, then we'll talk about it."

"Also, let's promote our YouTuan's record-breaking sales and let the distributors know about it."

"Understood, President. If we don't get a surge in orders, those distributors will think our YouTuan is unreliable and won't want to cooperate. Now that we're getting a surge in orders, I reckon they'll regret it to the core, regretting not rushing to cooperate!" Hou Yufei, the marketing director, laughed.

"It's normal for them to be cautious. As long as the price is right and the product is fine, we can continue to cooperate. We need to keep increasing our SKUs. A brand or a product category can't have just one supplier. Developing more suppliers and creating competition will also ensure the security of our supply chain."

"Yes!" Market supervisor Hou Yufei remembered it clearly.

Over-reliance on a single supplier makes one vulnerable to being manipulated into raising prices in reverse.

But with a multi-supplier model, it doesn't matter.

You raise prices? Fine, we'll switch immediately and replace you with another dealer!
Subsequently, Wang Junshan issued another notice in the campus work group:

"YouTuan.com is overwhelmed with orders. The sorting pressure at various schools will be immense tomorrow morning, so we need to recruit more part-time sorting and packing staff. Delivery pressure is also high, so we need to add more part-time delivery personnel. All managers, please prepare in advance! Sorting and packing will begin at 7:00 AM tomorrow. Delivery will begin at 12:30 PM!"

"Received!" Lu Chuan and the others replied, and quickly began making arrangements.

Currently, YouTuan.com has two groups of members. One group is directly under YouTuan Technology, which is responsible for overall operation, procurement, sorting and packaging according to SKU, and delivery to schools.

The other part consists of on-campus part-time jobs, responsible for sorting and packing goods according to orders after receiving them, displaying them at self-pickup points or delivering them to customers' homes.

Wang Junshan assigned the responsibility for the five schools to Lu Chuan, Fu Yan, Guo Xiujie, Xia Chengjun, and Lü Xu, respectively.

Each of the five individuals was responsible for one school, and each of them also built their own team within their respective schools.

In preparation for tomorrow's deliveries, some sorting and delivery personnel have been recruited in advance.

But now that we're overwhelmed with orders, it's definitely not enough.

Immediately following Wang Junshan's instructions, they began to continue recruiting. Meanwhile, YouTuan.com's promotional efforts continued.

Not only did they immediately send out promotional messages in all the group-buying groups of the five schools about the launch of YouTuan.com, but they also arranged for people to promote it on the ground in the schools and residential compounds, distributing flyers.

These professors' family members are wealthy and have internet access; they are all high-quality potential users of YouTuan, so naturally, we can't let them go.

At 5 PM, YouTuan.com's revenue reached 800,000 yuan, and breaking one million yuan today will be no problem at all.

Sorting and on-campus delivery are also ready.

However, the problems with the logistics department have not yet been resolved.

"President, we signed five truck drivers for off-campus transportation, and found four more this afternoon, but we are still short three people and three trucks."

Seeing the troubled look on logistics supervisor Xu Jingshuo's face, Wang Junshan waved his hand:

"It's alright, I'll handle it."

With a sudden surge in orders, finding seven reliable drivers in such a short time, with both cars available and free, is indeed quite challenging.

There's no other way but to use someone else!

Wang Junshan returned to his office and decisively dialed Shen Huaijin's number:

"Secretary Shen, come to YouTuan Technology to complete your onboarding process!"

"???"

Shen Huaijin was stunned.

These past few days, Wang Junshan has been busy with the launch of YouTuan.com and hasn't paid any attention to her at all.

Shen Huaijin thought the matter with the secretary was over.

But unexpectedly, a job came!
However, considering Wang Junshan's shady tactics, starting with selling winter melons and making 100,000 yuan on the first day from 5,000 yuan, it's worth noting that he started out making money.

Subsequent group buying through QQ groups resulted in a daily income of 200,000 yuan.

Now she has launched YouTuan.com, which has become popular in many schools. Her roommates are all rushing to place orders, and the revenue is probably in the hundreds of thousands!
This guy is an absolute entrepreneurial genius!
It's hard for Shen Huaijin not to be interested!
He immediately replied, "Okay, boss, I'll be right there!"

Just ten minutes later, Shen Huaijin arrived at YouTuan Technology with a slightly sneaky feeling.

This is her first time here.

I dropped Wang Junshan off at the door and then sent him away.

Thinking about this, Shen Huaijin felt an urge to grit his teeth!
"President Tang, please process Xiao Shen's onboarding. He's still in school, so an internship contract will suffice. His position will be the president's secretary."

"Okay." Tang Jinghe looked at Shen Huaijin's stunning looks and began to speculate about their relationship.

After completing the onboarding process, Shen Huaijin sat down at his workstation and looked at Wang Junshan:

"Boss, what are the plans for next?"

"Yes, I have an important task for you. YouTuan.com is experiencing a surge in orders, and today's revenue is expected to exceed one million. We don't have enough delivery drivers for tomorrow morning. Go and hire three reliable delivery drivers who can handle box trucks. They need to be on duty at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

"I..." Shen Huaijin was somewhat puzzled. Was this something a secretary should be doing?

But they dared not speak out.

"difficult?"

"No...no difficulty, I'll contact them right away!"

Fearing that his abilities might be questioned, Shen Huaijin readily agreed.
