Chapter 382 Chapter 382
Longhan imperial capital.
In an ordinary group rented house.
Yao Xiaoyun was packing her bags with a bitter expression on her face.
It has been more than half a year since I returned to the imperial capital from the beautiful country. In the end, only the contents of two suitcases and a backpack could be taken away.
When she was in the beautiful country, she was a top student.
But after returning to China, she was just an ordinary job seeker.
Fortunately, she met a fairly good company.
This company is a website that focuses on e-commerce platform.
In this year, it can be regarded as a pioneer.
However, reality is not as beautiful as the story.
In the story, both the hero and the forerunner can win the final victory.
In reality, the first mover is also the first to fall.
If there is no Qingyun Mall, then Yao Xiaoyun’s company can still last for at least a while.
However, the major domestic e-commerce platforms are all in a bleak state.
Except for a few companies, after making super high performance in Qingyun Mall, there is still confidence and funds to fight for a future.
Most e-commerce platforms are dead on the road.
The same is true for Yao Xiaoyun’s company.
There are only tens of thousands of sales per day, and no more than hundreds of thousands of sales at most.
Before the 2 billion sales myth of Qingyun Mall that day, it seemed so helpless and ridiculous.
Put the frame away from the desk, the 18 people in the photo are the founding team that the company started.
And Yao Xiaoyun is fortunate to be one of them.
At that time, everyone laughed so happily and so presumptuously.
As if the future will be created by one’s own hands.
But……
When Mr. Ma said that the company had closed down, everyone’s eyes were already darkened.
Yao Xiaoyun couldn’t help but think of what happened to him in the past six months, there were pains and tears, and there were happy and happy days…
In August of the Year of the Rat, Yao Xiaoyun, who had been at home for half a month, finally couldn’t bear the nagging of his mother all day and night, and came to the imperial capital from Jinmen to find a job.
At the beginning, she just thought that the Imperial Capital was close to home, and she could go home anytime she had something to do.
And it can also avoid the unsuitability of living with parents.
The idea is good, and of course the result is good.
That day, as soon as she arrived in the imperial capital, she came to the recruitment market of the imperial capital and met Amebaba’s recruitment booth.
Later, after entering the company, she knew that it was the last day of Amoebaba in the recruitment market.
When he saw Mr. Ma’s appearance that was different from ordinary people, Yao Xiaoyun sat down opposite Mr. Ma.
“Hello, is your company still recruiting the head of the marketing department?”
The story unfolds from this.
Yao Xiaoyun was in charge of marketing when he was in Meili Country.
During the internship, he was praised by the leaders many times.
After talking to Mr. Ma for more than ten minutes, she was told that she passed the interview and was ready to come to work.
Yao Xiaoyun, who has gone through the entry formalities and stepped onto the job, still can’t believe it.
She applied for an internship in a company in the beautiful country, all of which had to go through 3-10 rounds of interviews.
How come this has just passed the interview after a few minutes.
In the company, she is also the first time to meet colleagues who will work together in the future.
only……
This working environment turned out to be in a small two-story villa, which is a bit crude.
In this way, Yao Xiaoyun’s work at Amoebaba began.
In the few months of work, although every day is very busy, very tired and very hard.
Yao Xiaoyun, who had always suspected that she had mild insomnia, realized that it was nothing at all before.
Insomnia is purely idle.
In the six months after joining Amoebaba, I basically fell asleep every day as soon as I returned to my group rented house.
At the end of September, the project was formally discussed.
At the end of October, after a month, after the busy day and night of the six technicians in the technical department, their website went live.
It is different from other domestic e-commerce platforms.
Most of those e-commerce platforms focus on ordinary consumers.
The Amoebaba Mall is indeed facing some small businesses.
The business people in the team are responsible for negotiating prices and specifications with some large factories and enterprises.
Then, after uploading the products to the website, they have to go offline to find these customers.
Only at this time, most of Longhan’s domestic customers are not aware of online shopping.Especially for those small and medium-sized businesses, most of them go to the local wholesale market when purchasing materials.
After all, for many people, e-commerce platforms are still a novelty.
I transferred the money by myself, what should I do if the other party does not ship the goods.
Moreover, there is another disadvantage of online shopping is that the quality of the goods can only be seen through photos.
Once the merchant’s heart becomes darker, it is possible to buy Baolu at the price of buying a BMW.
Every merchant is savvy, and half believe it or not for Amoebaba Mall.
Because of poor management, Amoebaba’s operating expenses were stretched, and Mr. Ma went to the bank several times and did not get a loan.
In desperation, President Ma sold his house in the Imperial Capital in November.
Then, because of advertising, in December, Mr. Ma sold his second house, which was also his last fixed asset.
Mr. Ma, who has been working in Longhan State-owned Enterprise a few years ago, has saved a lot of money in his spare time.
I bought my own house many years ago.
But this time for the Amoebaba Company, he allowed his parents to live back to their hometown in the country.
Mr. Ma at this time seemed to everyone to be a gambler who had lost his eyes, and had overwhelmed everything he had, just for the future of Amoebaba.
At the end of December, the impact of the epidemic gradually dissipated.
Lao Cai, the financial director of Amoebaba, had been working in an investment bank before, so he suggested to President Ma that he could try to contact investment banks to inject capital into Amoebaba.
At the same time, because of the advantages of QQ payment, President Ma observed for more than a month, personally ran to Jiangcheng, and signed a cooperation agreement with Qingyun Technology.
Yao Xiaoyun remembered.
President Ma, who returned from Jiangcheng, excitedly told everyone what he saw in Jiangcheng.
Especially Qingyun Technology.
He said that our Amoebaba will become a great company like Qingyun Technology in the future.
Everyone just smiles, no one takes it seriously.
But when he said this, President Ma’s eyes flashed with determination.
Maybe everyone thought he was crazy.
but.
He believed it himself.
In January, Mr. Ma began to run an investment company under the advice of Lao Cai.
Finally, Huangtian paid off.
At the end of January, a beautiful country investment company was very interested in Ma’s Amoebaba.
After a series of investigations and analyses in the early stage, this company believes that amoebaba has the potential to grow up.
If there are no problems, the first batch will invest 20 million yuan in amoebaba.
Future investments will depend on the company’s development.
The investment approval manager told Mr. Ma this way.
“Lao Ma, you have a good idea. When everyone is in charge of B2C, you can actually put forward the idea of B2B against the trend.”
“To be honest, the value of this idea alone is at least 20 million.”
“Do it well, as long as the head office has completed the approval, the funds can be credited to your account on the same day.”
President Ma was extremely happy that day.
Like a child returning from outer space.
But……
At this critical moment…
The advertisements of Qingyun Mall began to overwhelm the Internet.
The headquarters of the investment company also had to temporarily put aside this investment.
It is also an Internet e-commerce company. If Qingyun Technology enters the market, the consequences will be… hard to predict.
Ma always waited day by day.
The time of February 11 is also slowly approaching.
People in investment banks are also waiting.
People in the mobile phone industry are waiting.
People in the computer industry are waiting.
As a result, the next day, Qingyun Mall took the initiative to disclose its sales on February 11.
It was shocking.
Shocked the world.
No one has ever thought that the potential of e-commerce platforms is so great.
Even the beautiful country e-commerce company, which has a very early Internet development, now has a daily sales of one million dollars.
Some experts have predicted.
For e-commerce platforms to develop, they must break through one barrier after another.
From daily sales of 10,000, to 100,000, 1 million, and 10 million.
In the end, it may reach hundreds of millions.
And on this road, if e-commerce companies want to go down, they need to break these barriers one by one.
In at least three years, it is impossible for a company worldwide to achieve a daily sales of hundreds of millions in the e-commerce industry.
As a result, the Qingyun Mall came out to slap her face.
Even, this can’t be said to be a face slap, this is simply murder and condemnation.
For a time, the founders of Longhan’s domestic e-commerce companies were desperate.
Except for a few companies with great wealth, they have seen hope. When reviewing their company’s performance, most people can’t help but feel that:
What kind of stuff is this that I made by myself.
The same is true for Mr. Ma.
On the day sales of Qingyun Mall came out, he locked himself in the office on the second floor for a whole day.
Do not eat or drink.
On the second day, the investment company that originally said it would invest in Amoebaba also sent a message.
It is recommended that Ma always change his business direction as soon as possible.
Now is not the best time to do B2B.
When Qingyun Mall was born, the eyes of global e-commerce merchants will be on B2C.
Their Amebaba is the first batch of websites to do e-commerce. If they are transformed in time, the investment may still be approved.
If you don’t change…
The approval manager did not go on, but everyone knew what he meant.
When Amoebaba has reached the end of the world, the lack of a source of funds means that the company cannot continue to operate.
The next day, Mr. Ma called the other party back to inform his decision.
Will not change the business direction.
Investment matters are naturally stale.
But as for the next step, colleagues in the company have no choice at this time.
Mr. Ma didn’t know where to find a sum of money. After giving everyone 500 yuan for the festival, he asked everyone to go home for the Spring Festival first.
As for what the company will do in the end, he has to use the New Year period to think about it.
Seeing Mr. Ma’s face calm, everyone only left when he found a way out for the company, and one by one they said goodbye.
But a few days ago, the first day after the start of the year.
President Ma took a stack of dismissal letters and handed them to everyone one by one.
“I’m sorry everyone, I can’t give you a red envelope for starting work this year.”
“The company went bankrupt for well-known reasons.”
“However, before that, I had already fired everyone, haha.”
“According to the Longhan Empire labor law, when the company dismisses employees without reason, they need to compensate employees with three months’ salary.”
“This compensation will be sent to everyone’s account by the bank today.”
“Thanks, thank you everyone, in the past six months, yes, yes…”
As Mr. Ma was talking, tears couldn’t help streaming out.
Everyone was surprised at the sudden receipt of the dismissal letter.
I didn’t expect President Ma to say such a thing.
“Mr. Ma, don’t be like this. The company has no money. Where did you get the funds to pay us compensation.”
“Yes, Mr. Ma, we don’t have to pay if the company goes bankrupt. We still have hope for Amoebaba.”
The people around couldn’t help but persuade.
Yao Xiaoyun, who is usually confused and slow to react, also realizes what happened.
It turned out that the calmness of years ago was all assembled by Ma Zong.
In the face of such a critical situation for Amoebaba, it is impossible for him to have any solution.
The reason for pretending to be that calm is to let everyone have a good year.
In addition, I don’t know where he borrowed the three months of salary compensation for dismissing the employee for no reason, just to give everyone a compensation.
As one of the few girls in the team, Yao Xiaoyun and a few artists in charge, the girl receiving her immediately became red.
“Haha, it’s okay, you don’t have to persuade you.”
President Ma forced a smile, but it was even more ugly than crying.
But at this time, no one had the intention of joking with him.
“This money is the company’s compensation for everyone.”
“Those promised to everyone before, Ma Qingyun may not be able to fulfill.”
“Sorry everyone, I, Ma Qingyun is a person without credibility and ability.”
“It hurt everyone for half a year, but in the end it was such a result. I’m sorry everyone.”
“If it is possible, we will meet again in the future.”
After Ma Qingyun finished speaking, he left the villa regardless of everyone’s obstruction.
At this time, Yao Xiaoyun only noticed.
Usually Ma always drives a small Accord to work, but today he left on a bicycle.
At this time, she also understood.
It must be Mr. Ma who sold his car in exchange for these compensations from everyone.
Rubbing the corners of his eyes, Yao Xiaoyun realized that he had watched a photo for so long.
Putting the photo frame into the backpack, she put the backpack on her back and dragged the suitcase to open the door.In the past few days, she has completed the rent and formalities.
Tonight, we will return to Jinmen just as a bus.
The imperial capital, this sad place, Yao Xiaoyun will never come back unless necessary in the future.
“Dingling bell, Jingling bell.”
At this time, Yao Xiaoyun’s cell phone rang suddenly.
It was so late, and someone called her.
Yao Xiaoyun still didn’t get out of the sadness he was just now. He picked up the phone and didn’t look at the phone number. He asked fiercely, “Who, call me so late, don’t you want to sleep?”
“what?”
“Yao Xiaoyun, you won’t go to bed so early, right? It’s just after six o’clock.”
“My old lady is willing, Zhuang Yiming, if you have something to say or fart quickly, my old lady is in a bad mood.”
“Hey, okay.”
“Our President Su invites you to come to Jiangcheng for an interview to reimburse travel expenses and related accommodation expenses.”
“Yao Xiaoyun, Mr. Su knows that you have returned from a beautiful country, and you are proficient in marketing but care about you a lot. Come here, I’ll help you book your ticket.”
“Don’t go!”
Yao Xiaoyun said decisively.
“Huh? Why?”
“Didn’t you say that you would come and try it.”
Zhuang Yiming was stunned.
When he called Yao Xiaoyun before, Yao Xiaoyun heard that he is now working at Qingyun Technology and invited her to come to Jiangcheng for an interview.
Yao Xiaoyun happily agreed.
But after only a few days of work, I changed my mind.
This is a bit fast.
“Before was before, now is now, my old lady is not willing, you still come to the Imperial Capital to tie me over.”
“you……”
Zhuang Yiming suddenly sweated on his head.
This girl Yao Xiaoyun has always been a meek character.
What happened today, broke up with her boyfriend?
The grievance is so great.
“No, Miss Yao, Sister Yao, I just called President Su, and he wants to invite you to come as soon as possible. The company can’t wait so much.”
“Moreover, if you think Qingyun Technology is not suitable for you or you don’t like it, then you don’t have to come.”
“We Longhan people are to believe in what we say, don’t you make it difficult for me to do this.”
“Please, if you really don’t like it, I can’t force you, right.”
“this……”
Yao Xiaoyun hesitated for a while.
She did promise Zhuang Yiming to come to Jiangcheng for an interview before.
But at that time, she just wanted to see how many people there are in Qingyun Mall, which can make 2 billion sales in one day.
The reason why I couldn’t say it just now was just an angry talk.
She has always been honest and honest, how can she do things that do not believe her words.
The point is, if she really doesn’t go to Jiangcheng, then Zhuang Yiming will definitely not come to stage in front of President Su.
This is honesty and friend, Yao Xiaoyun knows in her heart, if she really doesn’t go, it must be inappropriate.
When Zhuang Yiming heard Yao Xiaoyun hesitate, he decided to come here again.
“Yao Xiaoyun, President Su attaches great importance to you.”
“He specifically told me to let me help you book the air ticket, and after coming to Jiangcheng, I will help you solve the problem of accommodation and travel.”
“It can be said that President Su really values you very much, so just come here.”
“If you really don’t want to work here, it’s just a trip to Jiangcheng, and it’s good to meet my old friend.”
“This, all right.”
“However, I may have to wait two days before I am going home.”
“Okay, no problem, do you need help? Our company also has a branch in Imperial Capital. If you need help, I can ask colleagues over there to come to you.”
“No, I have arranged that I will contact you as soon as possible.”
This sentence has just been said in less than 20 minutes.
Yao Xiaoyun didn’t even think that he would call Zhuang Yiming so soon.
At the gate of the group rented housing complex.
Following the taxi after another, turning a blind eye to her beckoning, Yao Xiaoyun was going to be wronged to death.
In the imperial capital in February, the weather was still whizzing cold.
Yao Xiaoyun was shivering outside with two huge suitcases, carrying a backpack on his back.
No matter how thick a glove and a hat are, it can’t help being so cold.
A cold wind blew, Yao Xiaoyun got through Zhuang Yiming’s phone.
Half an hour later, the phone of Yao Xiaoyun, who was sitting in a small restaurant eating noodles, rang in the imperial capital, where it was completely dark.
“Hello, is it Miss Yao Xiaoyun? I am Wang Yifei from Qingyun Technology. I am at the gate of Jixiang Community. May I ask where you are…”
