Reborn in 08, a heretical cultivator starting a business

Chapter 94 U-Group Makes a Big Move, Expanding Its Territory

Shopping on other platforms can cost a lot of money, but YouTuan is cheaper, guarantees authenticity, and even offers cashback in game currency!

Naturally, they will abandon other platforms and switch to YouTuan consumption.

In this way, games and shopping complement each other, resulting in more game users, higher user stickiness, and increased revenue for YouTuan Group Buying and YouTuan International.

A perfect example of positive reinforcement!
This also provides a new way out for non-RMB players.

Even if you don't spend money on games, you still need to buy daily necessities, beauty products, 3C products, baby products, etc., right?

Buying from YouTuan.com offers lower prices and diamond rebates, so naturally, there's no hesitation.

Diamonds that offer cashback on purchases have also become a way to accelerate upgrades.

These people use the diamonds earned through cashback on spending to quickly level up, which in turn forces paying players to follow the group's spending strategy or increase their spending.

Of course, the closed beta test only lasted ten days, so the ripening time of fruits and vegetables in the test version was three times faster than that of the official version.

Each person has a certain amount of diamonds available every day, which can be used to quickly upgrade.

Everyone was having so much fun that they forgot all about home. They spent almost all their time, except when they needed to use the restroom, planting, stealing, and buying vegetables.

By noon, no one went to eat.

Left with no other option, the staff had to bring the boxed meals closer.

Normal testing hours are from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, and 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, for a total of ten hours.

As a result, no one took a lunch break; they were all eating while planting and stealing vegetables.

It was 8 PM, time to leave work, but no one had left.

They were completely absorbed in their work, neglecting to eat or sleep.

Seeing this, Wang Junshan felt reassured: "This is so addictive, WeChat Farm is a sure thing!"

However, for everyone's health, the power was forcibly cut off at 9 p.m., and everyone reluctantly returned to the hotel to rest.

At six o'clock the next day, someone came to steal the vegetables...

The closed-loop testing at the farm is progressing smoothly.

The few bugs that remain are being fixed quickly.

However, Wang Junshan no longer paid attention to these things.

Instead, a high-level meeting was held at the YouTuan Group Buying Business Unit:
"Have you all seen the revenue, profit, and compensation figures for U-Tuan's international business division?"

"We saw it!" everyone exclaimed in unison.

"Aren't you envious?"

"envious!"

"I'm so envious."

"Boss, I joined the company earlier than them, but I don't earn as much as they do."

"Yes, I feel resentful!"

Wang Junshan laughed: "There's no way around it. The revenue and profits of YouTuan International Business Division are high, so the salaries are naturally high."

“The daily revenue of YouTuan’s group buying business unit was not high to begin with. In July, when universities started their holidays, the revenue was even lower, so it was naturally incomparable.”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent; it would be a lie to say they weren't disappointed.

Wang Junshan then changed the subject: "However, the future of YouTuan Group Buying is very bright, even better and more promising than YouTuan International!"

"Really?" Everyone's eyes lit up, but they were still skeptical.

"Of course it's true. U-Tuan International targets the whole country, so its revenue is naturally high."

“YouTuan Group Buying is currently only located in Binhai, a second-tier city, so its revenue is naturally low.”

"A mere second-tier city can generate millions in daily revenue!"

"If you expand to ten second-tier cities, how much could your daily revenue be?"

"It could reach tens of millions!" someone exclaimed.

"What if we covered one hundred second- and third-tier cities?"

"Daily revenue of tens of millions..." Everyone was shocked!
But if you think about it carefully, it's entirely possible!

Wang Junshan smiled faintly: "This is the future of YouTuan Group Buying. It is no worse than YouTuan International, and may even be better."

"But the future is bright, though the road is winding!"

"If YouTuan Group Buying wants to develop, you need to expand to other cities and replicate the Binhai City model."

"We're advancing from school to school, expanding from city to city!"

"The model is very simple: central warehouse + grid warehouses + pickup points!"

"Next, we'll focus on developing the Jeju market!"

"You need to first identify the universities and vocational schools in Jeju, and then comprehensively consider factors such as wholesale markets, delivery convenience, and rent to choose a suitable location to build Jeju's central warehouse!"

“For areas that are too far from the central warehouse, grid warehouses can be built.”

"For example, Huangdao and Chengyang in Binhai City each have five or six universities or vocational schools."

"But it's too far from the city center warehouse in Binhai, and even across the sea, making delivery very inconvenient. So let's build a small grid warehouse in each of the two locations, each responsible for several schools in the two areas!"

"We need to recruit staff at the warehouse simultaneously and build a logistics and distribution system."

"The school also needs to work on this simultaneously and establish pick-up points."

"If the school supermarket is willing to cooperate, we can directly develop it into a pick-up point and give them a commission."

"Even if the on-campus supermarket doesn't want to cooperate, we can find other stores on campus, such as express delivery points, bookstores, and digital repair shops, and give them commission to develop them into our YouTuan pickup points!"

Everyone's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."

“Bookstores, repair shops, and courier shops don’t have much business overlap with us. By setting up YouTuan pick-up points, they can not only earn commissions and have an extra source of income, but also increase customer traffic and drive other consumption, so naturally they won’t refuse.”

Wang Junshan nodded: "That's right, this is the breakthrough."

“Previously, YouTuan group buying had low brand awareness and its model was too advanced, so not many stores were willing to become pick-up points.”

"But recently, media outlets and television stations have successively exposed that YouTuan Group Buying has a high reputation in the province and offers high commissions, so many stores are willing to give it a try!"

“If the campus is large, we can set up multiple pick-up points in different commercial areas within the same university, so that students can place their orders nearby.”

"If no stores are willing to act as pick-up points, we will invest more money to lease supermarkets or stores to create YouTuan group-buying supermarkets and serve as YouTuan pick-up points!"

"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Wang Junshan made arrangements one by one:

"Next, Market Departments One and Two will go to Jeju Island to develop the Jeju market and establish a Jeju branch."

"With the start of the new school year at the end of August, Jeju's YouTuan group-buying program must be launched simultaneously at least ten schools!"

"By the end of September, we aim to have 30 universities open simultaneously!"

"Yes!" both department heads replied in unison.

During this period, YouTuan Technology has become wealthy and has been recruiting extensively, and now it can be said to have a large and capable workforce.

"Market Department Three will remain in Binhai City and continue to expand into Huangdao and Chengyang, establishing grid warehouses. By the end of August, we will expand into ten more schools!"

"Yes!"

Wang Junshan had planned everything long ago, including universities, junior colleges, and vocational schools in the province, totaling about 130 million students.

They are mainly concentrated in Jeju Island and Binhai City.

Jeju Island has more than 30 schools with approximately 400,000 students.

Binhai City has more than 20 schools and about 300,000 students.

Together, the two account for more than half.

In other cities, there are only 1-10 schools and 1-10 students.

These cities have few schools and students, resulting in low order volume and profits, so there's no need to rush into implementation for the time being.

Let's start by developing cities like Jeju Island and Binhai City, which have a high concentration of universities, a large student population, and a developed economy!
Then we'll move on to second-tier cities in other provinces, and only then to high-quality third-tier cities!
In this way, YouTuan's revenue can soar rapidly, and it will be easier to negotiate prices when Tencent comes to them again!

　The farm will be available in the next chapter, please stay tuned.
