The Black Card - Chapter 810

[Chapter 808 The layout of Qi Xuan and flash mob]

Lu Ximing of Magic City has already built branches in Wudong and Xixi, and is ready to open these two markets at any time.

In the two cities in Lingdong Province, after a week of operations, Shi Lei was surprised to find that the funds deposited in seven days had reached nearly 10 million, and the funds deposited in three days had reached nearly 20 million.

This means that the number of people who did not return their deposit within three days has reached nearly 200,000.

There are only more than 20,000 power banks in the two places, but it has more than 200,000 actual users, and it only took a short week. This has to be said to be a miracle.

Ten million of the accumulated funds were used to reproduce the product. After discussing with Wei Xingyue, Shi Lei told Lu Ximing that he would host a press conference to open the markets in Wudong and Xixi.

Luci Ming was shocked.

Although Wei Xingyue had already told him that Shi Lei was still the general manager of the Magic Capital Branch, he, as the vice president, would be the one in charge of the entire Yangtze River Delta business in the future. From now on, Shi Lei would only be responsible for macro planning and would not be involved in specific matters. in operation.

However, he really didn’t expect that he would be asked to host the press conference so soon.

“Master Shi, is it going too fast?” Lu Ximing said worriedly.

Shi Lei smiled and said: “What’s wrong? Not confident? Director Wei should have told you, right? You will be responsible for the Yangtze River Delta in the future. I have already reserved the position of regional manager for you. You won’t Are you going to give up on me at this time?”

“It’s not that you don’t have confidence, nor are you giving up, but you think it will be too fast?”

“Quick? Director Wei and I only have about a week to prepare for this company, and then, We have completed the angel round in more than a month. The initial total investment was less than 30 million, and the angel round has been valued at 250 million. Now, the layout of the four first-tier cities of Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, Baoan and Yangcheng has been completed, and the next step is to The next step is to connect the regions, and in less than a week, we will start the A-round financing. Do you think that promoting a regional manager in two months is really fast?”

Lu Ximing said with a wink. Speechless.

He used to do quality control and had management experience. It’s not that he didn’t have the confidence to lead such a branch.

Although the company’s valuation is high, it seems that the company’s scale should also be large. However, since production does not belong to the company and is only outsourced work, in fact, the number of employees within the company is not too many.

Luci Ming was quite confident in managing this small amount of manpower.

However, he ignored that this was different from his previous industry. It used to be the real economy, but now the products are similar to before, except that they are rented and sold, so the difference is not particularly big.

After all, Flash is an IT company, or a new model of e-commerce company, which is completely different from the development of the offline industry in the physical industry that he was engaged in in the past.

In the company where he used to work, it was considered good to get a small promotion in one year. If he wanted to become the general manager of a branch, it would be impossible for him to stay there for ten or eight years.

As for the regional manager, this is equivalent to the level of vice president of the group company headquarters, and it is even more difficult to even think about it in fifteen or twenty years.

But in the flash mob, Lu Ximing was considered to be the first batch of employees, a veteran-level figure, but after all, the flash mob had only been established for a few months.

When he was asked to serve as the vice president of a branch in Shanghai, he already felt that this was a rocket-like rise. However, at that time, he felt that he was also a manager in the previous company, even if he was just a quality control supervisor, and he changed to this newly established company. For a small company, there is nothing wrong with being the vice president of a branch.

Who would have thought that in less than two months, Shi Lei and Wei Xingyue would promote him to be the regional manager. This is a senior position in the group company. Although he was grateful, he still felt a little guilty.

However, when Shi Lei said this, Lu Ximing also realized the error in his thinking, and he completely figured out the different nature of the enterprise.

In the past, corporate promotions were slow and company development was also slow. A value increase of more than ten or twenty points per year and a doubling of sales growth are already remarkable.

But now, the company’s value is increasing by several points or more almost every day, and as for sales, it is doubling and soaring.

The performance has risen rapidly, and the position has risen equally quickly. This seems to be nothing difficult to accept.

The most important thing is the size of the company. From the initial team of a dozen people in Caotai, to now there are more than 200 people in the headquarters alone, and there are a lot of employees in branches all over the country. The number of employees is also much higher than before, so it naturally requires more management. personnel.

After thinking about it, Lu Ximing finally nodded and said confidently: “Master Shi, I understand. Don’t worry, I will do my best! I will never let you and the eldest lady down.”

Shi Lei smiled lightly, Said: “You really have to work hard. The Yangtze River Delta is the top priority of the company’s layout. Now it’s just Modu, Wudong and Xixi. The next step will be Xicheng and Kunzhou, and after that, the entire Yangtze River Delta cities will be It must be covered. The Yangtze River Delta is the region with the highest GDP and population density in China. Therefore, you, the regional manager, have the heaviest burden. Of course, since it is still in the layout stage, it is impossible to realize the regional development so quickly. Zone, so you are only the vice president of the branch for the time being. But with the speed of our company’s development and expansion, once the two markets of Kunzhou and Xicheng are opened, the establishment of a large region will be inevitable. By then, you will be the big one The best choice for the district manager. When you enter the company’s senior management, Director Wei should have told you the details when you joined the company, so I won’t repeat them.”

Lu Ximing seemed to have seen the shares beckoning to him, and he became more and more confident. , said: “Master Shi, don’t worry, I promise to complete the task.”

Shi Lei waved his hands with a smile, left the company, talked to Wei Qing and Mr. Duan, treated them to a meal, and returned to Wudong.

Early the next morning, Shi Lei came to Qixuan. He came to discuss with Yao Er when Shi Qiang would return to Wudong.

At present, Qixuan is in Lingdong. Under the leadership of Shi Qiang, the two cities of Yangcheng and Baoan already have a market share of more than 70%. It cannot be said that Qixuan is defeated, but it is obvious that their financing is unfavorable and their performance is average. Especially compared with Qixuan, it is obviously far behind.

Therefore, under Shi Qiang’s suggestion, he has quietly opened the markets of the other two cities in the Pearl River Delta.

However, due to limited funds, Shi Qiang only opened the market tentatively and did not make a large amount of investment. However, the overall situation of Lingdong, or the Pearl River Delta, has been decided, and the next step of financing for Qixuan is imminent.

Shi Lei promised that Shi Qiang would lead Qixuan’s C round of financing. Of course, this would be based on the premise that he could afford the investment.

Xu Zhida took over the job quite well. Yao Er has much more free time than before, and many things can be decided by him.

Shi Lei and Yao Er had long had the idea of emphasizing Shi back to take control of the overall situation and liberating Yao Er. Under the current situation, it was time.

“Is it time to bring Shi Qiang back?” Shi Lei sat across from Yao Er’s desk and asked him.

Yao Er nodded and said: “The time is indeed ripe, and the company does not have much money on its account, and has used up 77% of the accumulated funds. It is time to announce the launch of Series B financing.” “

Okay, you go to the capital market Send a signal and be ready for Shi Qiang to come back and take over at any time. However, don’t think about leisure. Next, you may have to stay in Hong Kong Island for a while. There is a new project that requires you to follow up.”

4.

If nothing else, there should be more at night.
