As soon as he returned to Haizhou, Li Mu felt that he was not as busy as usual.
Eting has just started to develop, and the code for the forum has just been bought. Although the code bought for 3,000 yuan is terrible, it also represents the current average level.
Li Mu had a bunch of Shuangpin domain names in his hand, which were all registered at the time. It didn't make much sense to keep them, so he simply used "Douban" as a forum.
The Douban forum will be the base for Internet trolls in the future. Whether it can operate well depends mostly on Zhao Kang's ability.
So, Zhao Kang gritted his teeth and bought a laptop for more than 10,000 yuan.
When his father was surprised by his huge expenditure, he said lightly that it was Li Mu who made another fortune with him.
As a result, Zhao Kang's parents were completely convinced.
My son makes money faster than the strong wind, so what else can I say
After buying the code, Li Mu made some slight modifications and put it online. He gave Zhao Kang super management authority and 50,000 yuan in funding, allowing him to build a reliable online troll army for himself in a short period of time. As for Li Mu didn't care about where to recruit people, salary standards, or operational plans, leaving Zhao Kang to decide on his own. He had only one requirement: efficiency.
Immediately afterwards, Li Mu devoted himself to developing Eting.
The day after he returned, Li Mu's father received a call from his hometown. Li Mu's uncle in the countryside was celebrating his birthday.
Father Li originally wanted to bring Li Mu along with him as a family of three, but Li Mu had never seen his uncle a few times in his life, and he really didn't have any feelings for him. In addition, he had too much to do, so he wanted to refuse.
It happened that Metersbonwe officials called him at this time and informed Li Mu that they had arranged for an inspector. The inspector happened to be in another prefecture-level city in Nansu Province and could arrive at Hainan at noon tomorrow. State, and also told Li Mu the name and contact information of the other party.
Now Li Mu couldn't get away, so he boldly told his father that he was too busy to leave. His father didn't insist, so he decided to take leave tomorrow and take Li's mother back with him.
After Li Mu got permission to stay alone in Haizhou, he called Metersbonwe's female inspector named Zhang Man. The other party just finished the work at hand and immediately went to buy it after contacting Li Mu. Ticket, go to Haizhou Bus Station at 11:40 noon tomorrow.
Li Mu thought to himself that after receiving the inspectors tomorrow and waiting for Metersbonwe's headquarters to pass the review, he would have to start preparing for the decoration. He would be busy by then, and Ye Tianming called as early as yesterday to say that he had found He found a suitable workplace with an area of 70 square meters and a monthly rent of more than 2,000, which gave Li Mu time to visit the provincial capital.
Li Mu didn't have time to go to the provincial capital now, so he simply asked Ye Tianming to help him make a decision, and then asked a few of their brothers to help him go to the labor market to post recruitment information for website programmers, server technicians, and artists, with favorable treatment. It's best to get some resumes first.
The people at Simple Plan are very energetic in Jinling, and this little thing was quickly and smoothly handled.
Li Mu then planned to take time to visit the provincial capital once the matter of the specialty store was settled.
…
The next morning, Li Mu first sent his parents to the bus to the countryside at the bus station. After waiting for more than an hour, at around 12 noon, he picked up Metersbonwe's inspector Zhang Man, an age 1, at the bus station. She is a young woman in her mid-twenties, average-looking, but looks very capable.
When the two met, Zhang Man was not surprised by Li Mu's youth. In fact, she had already received the customer information from the headquarters. She had been curious about the eighteen-year-old customer, but at this moment of meeting, she was very happy. He hid his curiosity.
Li Muchuan invited Zhang Man to lunch at the best Haizhou Hotel, and Zhang Man started the inspection at the dinner table. In addition to inspecting the hardware, she also needed to understand the customer's views on the clothing market and Metersbonwe. .
The first question she asked Li Mu was why she chose to join Metersbonwe.
Li Mu’s answer is simple: “I think the consumption level of Chinese people has begun to improve, especially among the young groups of urban residents. Moreover, the first direction of consumption for young groups is clothing. Metersbonwe’s brand building The product design also embodies the concept of focusing on capturing young people, which is very consistent with my own ideas."
Zhang Man nodded. The headquarters also pays more attention to the thinking mode of franchisees. She needs to know whether the other party understands Metersbonwe's positioning and whether it has a corresponding operating philosophy. Although Metersbonwe is expanding, It is also a rational expansion. They do not want to see the market in any region and be forced to death by agents who do not know how to do it.
Immediately, Zhang Man asked: "Then what do you think of Metersbonwe's market operations? For example, do you have any understanding of our operations in the past few years and any corresponding suggestions?"
Li Mu answered with a smile: "Focusing on design and branding and light on assets and costs. This strategy is very in line with the future development of the clothing market. In terms of promotion, your company's previous spokesperson was the Hua'er band. Although it closely followed the theme of young people, Hua'er The reputation of the children's band is indeed not enough to support a well-known clothing brand, and even the clothing brand itself may be held back by them. Fortunately, you corrected the mistake in time and chose to invite Guo Tianwang to endorse you. In addition, your company's information system In terms of architecture, it is very forward-looking in the industry, and I have heard about your company’s cooperation with Cisco.”
Zhang Man couldn't help but look at Li Mu with admiration.
He analyzed the spokespersons very accurately. In 2000, the Huaer Band's endorsement did not help the brand to really build up enough popularity. A month ago, Guo Tianwang's endorsement had just started. The field of investors has experienced explosive development, which is also regarded as the company's most important decision this year.
However, this kind of spokesperson information can be discovered by anyone who is a little careful, but Li Mu actually knows about Cisco, which is very rare.
These days, the impact of information systems on the retail industry is minimal. Most companies and entrepreneurs in the retail industry have never understood this term, let alone its importance. Li Mu, an eighteen-year-old young man, actually saw it Being so clear really proves that he knows a lot about the company.
Li Mu added at this time: "I believe that taking a small city like Haizhou as an example, the willingness to spend 1,670 square meters as a partner for your company's franchisees should be very small, right?"
"That's true." Zhang Man felt deeply. Nowadays, investors in small cities rarely have stores larger than one hundred square meters. The reason is simple: limited funds on hand and insufficient confidence in the future market.
Li Mu has rented a store of 1,670 square meters. This store has even met the requirements of first-tier cities, which is considered a very generous deal.
During the meal, Zhang Man had a very good impression of Li Mu. He felt that this young man had unique vision and extraordinary conversation, which was really wonderful.
Next, Li Mu went to the bank to type out a certificate of cash assets, and then took Zhang Man to inspect the store he had rented.
Bayan has left, and the store is empty, but the location is here, there is no doubt that it is the most prosperous place in Haizhou City.
While chatting with Li Mu, Zhang Man also felt Li Mu's vision for the clothing retail market. Moreover, this boy has very good communication skills and even has a charming personality, which almost perfectly meets the company's requirements for franchisees.
In the evening, Zhang Man finished his inspection of Li Mu and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, this inspection is basically over. I will write the materials when I get to the hotel tonight and fax them to the company before leaving tomorrow. It will take seven to ten working days. Within a few days, the company will issue the audit results. Once the audit is passed, we will send someone to guide the decoration. In addition, you'd better start recruiting an experienced store manager now. You and the store manager will have to go to our company headquarters for a ten-year training period. Five days of training.”
Li Mu asked in surprise: "Should I go too? Is it okay if I don't go?"
Zhang Man smiled and said: "You don't have to go, but the company stipulates that there must be two to three trained professionals, so you must send at least two people there."
"Okay." Li Mu nodded. It was imperative to recruit a reliable store manager because he was reluctant to let his father or mother take care of the store every day. However, the store manager has a heavy responsibility, so who should be suitable? Woolen cloth
You still have to look carefully.
Zhang Man had a room in a guest house in the city. According to her, she was going to another city in a neighboring province tomorrow morning. Her job was to run around all day long.
Li Mu invited her to dinner again, and then sent her downstairs to the guest house. Before saying goodbye, he gave her a red envelope: "Sister Zhang, please help me more with the review. I hope the results will be as soon as possible. "
The review takes seven to ten working days, which is still a bit slow. Li Muman has fully calculated that he can stay at home for another forty days. The college entrance examination results will be out in two days, and the admission notice will not wait too long. Eight At the end of the month, he was ready to get out. Li Mu wanted to get the store open before leaving, so he had to ask Zhang Man to help him as much as possible.
Zhang Man refused at first, but Li Mu stuffed the red envelope into her bag and wrote lightly: "It's just a small thought. Sister Zhang, have a good rest. I won't give it to you tomorrow."
After Li Mu finished speaking, he turned around and walked away. Zhang Man felt a little nervous, but in the end he didn't catch up.
Back at the hotel, Zhang Man opened the red envelope given by Li Mu. It turned out to be a full thousand yuan, which was almost half of her salary. She stared at the thousand yuan and thought about it for a long time, and finally seemed to make some decision to spend the money. He took it out of the red envelope, stuffed it into his wallet, opened his laptop, and made a report on this trip to Haizhou.
After the report was written, she wrote A+ in the final grade assessment. This is the company's internal rule. Materials rated higher than A by the examiner must be reviewed first as high-quality customers. As for A+, the green light must be given all the way to the end.
