Chapter 441: Preparing Everything (Part 1)

Compared to Wang Yang’s ‘cautiousness,’ Li Jianjun was more ‘bold,’ so his attitude towards problems was exactly the opposite of Wang Yang’s.

“Zhao, if this venture succeeds, what kind of expected revenue can our Erlunsi achieve?”

This was a question of interest to everyone.

After all, having just gotten on the right track not long ago, the offline brand selling continued to boom.

Switching to online, it surely couldn’t earn less than the offline revenue, right?

“Bring the financial report.”

Zhao Qingfeng scrutinized it for a while, then seriously stated, “Estimated by the end of next year, at the very least, it should reach more than ten times that of offline.”

The room was shocked at his words.

Twenty times that would mean Erlunsi’s market value could reach over one billion, right?

Actually, that was a conservative estimate.

Consider that in the previous life by August 2004, Taobao’s registered members had already reached 12 million.

The website’s daily visitation had surpassed 110 million, three times that of eBay and Yahoo.

The number of online goods reached 12 million, occupying a large share of China’s individual online market, equivalent to thirty times the number of items in large department stores.

By the year’s end, just the fourth quarter had seen a transaction volume of 3.05 billion, twelve times the annual sales volume of Beijing’s Wangfujing Department Store.

And that was data from 2004.

If one were to bring up the staggering figures from the first Singles’ Day promotions in 2014, it would be even more astonishing.

However, there was no need to tell Li Jianjun and the others about this now; seeing is believing.

Zhao Qingfeng casually mentioned the expected revenue, causing a buzz of astonishment. Then, he suddenly shifted the topic, proposing another idea that surprised everyone.

“Given that we’re about to start promoting online shopping, there’s one thing Erlunsi must do.”

“The saying goes, ‘the troops move after the grain,’ and the netizens for online shopping will come from all over, so now, investing in or starting a logistics company will be a particularly good choice to increase future income.”

“My personal suggestion is not to start one, but to invest.”

“Last night, while writing the proposal, I also thought in detail about several logistics companies worth investing in, all listed here. Could someone print this out for the shareholders to review?”

Taobao’s success was inseparable from logistics.

An efficient logistics system represents the speed of receiving goods from online shopping.

Zhao Qingfeng had already written a draft about logistics, a project that combines all his industries together.

With the booming development of the traffic era, logistics companies will undoubtedly soar.

The reason Zhao Qingfeng decided to invest and become a shareholder of a logistics company, besides being able to make a lot of money from it, was because he didn’t want to be controlled by others in the future, especially by foreign-owned logistics companies.

Traffic is a double-edged sword; if e-commerce doesn’t hit the right carrier, the entire platform could collapse from feast to ruin in a moment.

This is not an exaggeration.

In the past life, Vancl and two other companies were suppressed by the logistics of major platforms, leading to delivery times far exceeding the average, ultimately failing and going bankrupt.

So, it’s safest to hold the knife handle in your own hands.

“What should we do then?”

Zhang Dekai wanted to know the detailed plan.

“It’s up to you.”
