Chu Yuanxi was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He thought to himself that he was so cautious that he was actually being beaten by Fang Shiling! This is a blow from the air. Is this? Cao Xiang's thinking is too jumpy, right?

However, if it was just a wave of this degree, I wouldn't worry about Cao Xiang's extraordinary ideas. He was not an extraordinary person. Now this is a programmatic idea of ​​the Internet finance industry, and it is also a good thing. You can publish a paper or something, and he is good at this.

As for Internet finance, Chu Yuanxi feels that Cao Xiang is purely because the Internet of Things has not been launched, which makes him too idle and easy to make trouble. Isn’t your chance to make trouble in the United States big enough?

"By the way, Lao Cao, are you trying to change jobs, right? Which Internet finance company has found you?"

"No, absolutely not!" Cao Xiang waved his hand quickly. In fact, he knew his condition very well. Even if Chu Yuanxi was so stupid, he would release his ban on competition agreement and let him change jobs to work in Internet finance. The question is who to do it?

Of course, my physical and mental state is much better than when I first returned to China. At least although I have not created any profits for the company during this period, I have been earning high salaries and have not had to be confused about my livelihood for a long time. However, my employment status has not improved any more than before, and I am still a person with a criminal record.

Moreover, it is already very interesting to lift the ban on competition. You can't ask others to do a memorization when Xiaokang is holding a former employee who has changed jobs, right? This former employee is doing a project that is crucial to the company. He will change jobs before he goes online. It is already very interesting to not say bad things! But as long as Xiaokang doesn't endorse him, what has he done during his time when he returned to China? It has only increased his work experience for several months and he can't get any results! This is not as good as when he first returned to China.

Therefore, it is impossible to give up the option and salary of a well-off society and change jobs. Cao Xiang has realized at this age that people cannot always live for obsession. Chu Yuanxi does not know how deep his obsession with Internet finance is. The technology he did in the United States was to serve Internet finance.

Unfortunately, it’s just a well-off society that doesn’t engage in Internet finance…

In fact, Chu Yuanxi was relieved to Cao Xiang. After contacting him for so long, he was a person who could stand the tranquility and accepted delayed gratification in fashionable words.

It is true that as he said, the most urgent thing for the use of blockchain technology is finance. The vast world has made great achievements. A well-off game network is a bit of ambition. Although there are multiple parties involved, there is no urgent need to synchronize information from multiple parties. To be precise, there is no need for timeliness. However, even so, a well-off has high requirements for blockchain technology.

In the future, users of Xiaokang will use 5g mobile phones to mine health coins. The same mobile phone has the same status and the same time. Some people have dug more and some people have dug less, and some people have not dug them. So it won’t be a fight? But it will be different when using blockchain. Whoever provides computing power and whose mobile phone is idle, has neither traffic nor power, it is clear at a glance. If you have not dug up health coins, please continue to work hard.

You can even "share" it with users, because if you follow the model of external output services after computing power aggregation, you will of course generate profits. So whoever provides computing power, how much it provides, and how much it generates can be recorded as a very clear account book through blockchain. The blockchain itself is for accounting.

In this way, Xiaokang becomes very transparent through clear accounts and user sharing, and everyone is happy. This is the most basic role of blockchain, and information transparency creates trust.

Using Cao Xiang's technology in this scenario is of course a huge contribution to the entire field of blockchain. You should know that although the original Bitcoin mining is the same as the Internet of Things, its mining behavior is to waste computing power, and the mining machine will not generate any social value. Xiaokang's mining is to aggregate computing power into clouds to form edge computing resources, which cannot be compared.

In Chu Yuanxi's concept, the so-called Internet finance is mainly two different, one is p2p and the other is microfinance, which are all loans using big data. This is what all Internet giants are particularly concerned about, because microfinance is super profitable and is the solution to harvest profits in big data monetization. None of them are deeply loved by the giants.

However, Xiaokang did not have any plans to make efforts in Internet finance, and now he does not have this condition, so Chu Yuanxi advised Cao Xiang to talk more about the newly formed payment team, as for the knot of Internet finance.

He is a well-off CSO and the title of CXO. His level is the first level. In theory, he has the right to interfere in any project team related to technical research. Therefore, for the mobile payment sector, he can fully exert greater value. Although mobile payment is already a relatively mature field, there is little possibility and space for introducing blockchain technology.

After arranging Cao Xiang, Chu Yuanxi was about to set off. On Saturday, the 14th, he boarded the train to Yangcheng. The day of departure happened to be the day when the island girl Chika Notake of the Imperial Capital. She took a look from afar and found that the appearance of the voice actor really should not be too concerned about it.

Lu Yu is actually not bad enough. The salary he gives is 1 million yen after tax. This price can be hired even among professional voice actors in the island country, let alone the dubbing contestant of part-time voice actors. That's why Miss Nobaya is so excited.

If you just hire a voice actor, it would be too expensive to pay 1 million yen per month. However, once you succeed in building a virtual idol, you will get more than that. Every month you can earn dozens of times when you open a live broadcast on Bilibili. Chu Yuanxi has seen how the otakus on Bilibili become a virtual idol. Of course, the premise is that the project must be completed.

This time he went there, there was another task, which was to detour West Lake City and meet with the koala executives in person. Before and after the ceremony of Jack Ma's retreat in September, Liu Lu had contacted him once, but the feedback was not good, and Chu Yuanxi was not very good, so he thought of other ways if he couldn't recruit. However, time has changed, and now he met him. It was the "100-day" that Alibaba acquired Koala, which may have miraculous effects.

First, this group of executives should have seen the situation clearly, and at least they should have some ideas. A series of operations after Alibaba's acquisition of Koala are very beneficial to Chu Yuanxi's waving the hoe, and this hoe is also a win-win situation. Alibaba may not be dissatisfied with anything.

Secondly, the convenience store industry is even more brilliant by the end of the year and is even more attractive than before. It can be said that on the economic hotspot map of the country this year, small stores represented by convenience stores have released the greatest brightness and have shown an unignorable role in the entire national economy, far exceeding everyone's expectations.

It can be said that this was unimaginable in early 2019. If you just want to tell a few data to people in early 2019, the rough reaction is: You are talking nonsense!

For example, there are about tens of millions of small shops across the country, and there are more than 7 million husband-and-wife stores alone. Including related logistics industries, etc., the entire store system supports more than 100 million jobs, and it is normal for one person to open a store to solve the employment of the whole family.

For example, the average growth rate of small shops' turnover reached 35%, far exceeding the CPI and also outstripping most tracks.

For example, small shops have become one of the most willing customers for banks to make loans. This was impossible in the past, but today they have become the main target of credit support.

All these indicate that seemingly inconspicuous small stores have become the resilience of the national economy. Moreover, with the increase in offline customer acquisition costs, the prices of chain convenience stores have become more prominent, becoming the source of customer acquisition channels for many brands. It is easier to acquire customers in chain convenience stores than to acquire customers on the shelves of husband-and-wife stores.

Under this form, I don’t know how much change the mentality of Koala executives will occur when their minds leave.

This customer acquisition cost issue has actually affected a large number of business ecology, especially e-cigarettes.

When the country banned online shopping for e-cigarettes in early November, offline became the only shipping channel for this industry that made a fortune. So in just one month, the battle of the Hundred Smoking War was formed, and all offline stores became the battlefield for e-cigarettes to grab e-cigarettes. Even the collection stores that have always been unpopular with e-cigarette brands have become popular, let alone chain convenience stores? Visiting Xiaokang Headquarters, there are many people who offer one million yuan in exclusive fees, and they are rushing to deliver money.

This industry has also become the only industry in China that opens franchise stores that not only do not require franchisees to pay any franchise fees, but also provide subsidies in turn. Those who get channels will win the world, and everything is just to seize offline shipping channels.

Therefore, Chu Yuanxi has been visited by four consecutive groups of entrepreneurs in the e-cigarette industry these days, and has made unique requests, even if there is no similar experience in the original world.

Two of them were sent away with Chu Yuanxi. It was not because of the bad conditions, but because he felt that he could wait for a while. Moreover, he had to study with Wumart. The entrance fee could not be paid only once, but it had to be paid annually.

Xiaokang is actually still in the beginning and does not charge admission fees for many Skus. As an emerging channel, it is very conscious and very friendly to supply chain owners. Basically, as long as it is a famous fast-moving consumer goods, there is no charge for the time being.

However, for electronic cigarettes, it is difficult to tolerate the fees without the income.

Of course, Xiaokang sells cigarettes. Since you can sell cigarettes, you can naturally sell e-cigarettes. What the state bans only online buying and selling e-cigarettes, and has not declared e-cigarettes illegal. However, with the expansion of the scale of Xiaokang and the increase in the intensity of competition in the offline market, it should be more beneficial to talk about such things after a while.

As for whether e-cigarettes are harmful to health, they are just as harmful as cigarettes, and there is no need to demonize them. Chu Yuanxi thought about it for a moment because of inadequate publicity and supervision, so he had to tie the reins.

The cigarette boxes all read "Smoking is harmful to health", but there is a lack of similar publicity for e-cigarettes. It is even a new thing that was once rumored to be a magic tool for quitting smoking. It is hard to say whether there are any contributions from e-cigarette companies, so it should be regulated. Since cigarettes are "sold" by the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau and have relevant laws, there is no reason for e-cigarettes, which also contain nicotine and other harmful chemicals, to allow it to grow wildly.

But the other two groups are at two extremes.

The third brand came up and sold money. Is the entrance fee of 1.5 million yuan enough? However, Chu Yuanxi quickly got Xue Jianhua's report and found that this was a pheasant brand, which was not much better than no brand.

Chu Yuanxi lost his patience at that time and politely invited the person away, but the other person was still unhappy. He had no choice but to tear his face: "I can't stand it in order to get an extra 500,000 yuan entrance fee, so you can't bear it. Hurry up and cause trouble for others!"

The problem with small brands is that although Xiaokang is just a salesperson, users should also know that the main responsibility for quality problems lies with the manufacturer. However, as a physical distributor, you must guarantee your reputation for your product selection. If you choose the national money but there is a problem, it is actually good to say that if the small brand is not selected well, it will hurt the user, and the defeat is your popularity. It is the same as when you sell goods through e-commerce live streaming, and it is also based on credit transactions.

Those e-cigarettes can cost hundreds or even hundreds of dollars, and even if they have a monthly salary of 10,000, they are not gadgets that can be thrown away without any distress. However, it is possible for small brands to run away after clearing their inventory. The quality is missing at all, let alone after-sales service. If one is broken, it basically means one or even multiple well-off users afk.

Why multiple? This is the advantage of a well-off society and a disadvantage of a well-off society. Chu Yuanxi wants to create a social atmosphere of labels. The user group is characterized by "people nearby". They will prosper and lose both. Word of mouth can be transmitted positively or negatively.

The fourth and last visitor is the head of the e-cigarette brand, and he has a certain fate with Chu Yuanxi.

Because, this entrepreneurial uncle is named Ma Yuening, who was originally a self-media, and is a very successful self-media in China. He takes a different approach to the zodiac sign, and then makes comics, content, and IP, establishing the sustainability of content updates and iterations.

In addition, he also made his own app, a hookup software. Whether socializing at home and abroad, of course, it is easy to succeed with hookup attributes. Video track seed players like Tang Bure, not doing socializing is simply a way to succeed.

In short, this constellation self-media highlight moment, which focuses on women, is the absolute top in China, with a huge influence, and is more successful than "Late Night Gallery" and "High Webmaster". However, it was not made into a matrix model and the total number of fans was slightly worse, so it was sold for only 200 million when it was acquired.

Chu Yuanxi asked himself, did he learn from others when he made plans and frameworks before he founded Baren Entertainment? The answer was yes. At that time, he was an inevitable option for doing Douyin. Then, everything needed to think about the plan by himself, so of course we had to refer to some successful precedents in memory.

Although the Ba people did not study hard, and were even more enterprising in the use of traffic, and did not blindly make apps, the essence of their entrepreneurial entrepreneurship is so dazzling and the path is so vital that Chu Yuanxi himself had to admit that the impact was very profound.

Coincidentally, the other party’s second-time entrepreneurial route is somewhat similar to Xiaokang. Although he is doing the “shake power” of the e-cigarette category, he focuses on offline and has opened 400 stores.

Xiaokang’s store is a "store". The clerks need strict training, a lot of ground promotion, and a lot of rent and plate stores. The other party’s store is mainly pop-up stores and baked cake grinding counters. There are very few flagship stores. The cost of opening a store is relatively low. Salesmen can be recruited at any time, without any ground promotion. However, although these 400 stores are not comparable to Xiaokang’s store, this is a good achievement.

However, at this time, the collapse of the electronic cigarette track is even faster than that of fresh food, which is not a parallel blow from the market but a national dimensionality reduction blow, which makes many investors have doubts about this business.

Chu Yuanxi could think of regulatory issues, and of course others could think of it. The relevant departments issued a ban order. Such a clear signal, the subsequent reasoning was natural. This made real entrepreneurs on the electronic cigarette track have to show their magical powers across the sea.

Therefore, Ma Yuening is now suffering from a severe cash crisis and cannot raise money. All his work has been done well, and he has done very well. The brand is the top of the electronic cigarettes and the quality is also first-class. In order to break through the siege, the product has been polished for a long time and has established a decent R&D team with scientific research attributes. As long as there is no problem with subsequent financing, it will be a situation where there are many soldiers and generals.

Unfortunately, when he came, the world worked together, and the heroes were not free, so he had even filled in 100 million yuan in the money he sold his account, which was similar to the personal investment he had when Chu Yuanxi started a well-off society.

However, now facing a difficult decision, is it to continue to persevere and suppress financial freedom, or to give up happily.

Of course, there is another golden option, which is to make a profit quickly. After all, e-cigarettes have always been a profit-making industry, making a fortune in silence, otherwise it would not have attracted him to cross-border and start a second business. Unfortunately, the entry time was too bad. As soon as he burned out his money, Teacher Gongsun entered the market with a bicycle, and then the industry was subverted.

However, whether it is profitable depends on sales and expenses rather than costs. The cost is not much, and the huge sales manpower and the continuous investment required to open a store are the black holes that swallow profits. This is also the reason why online is extremely important for e-cigarettes. If you can go to e-commerce, it will greatly reduce costs.

If the cash flow is enriched, there will be enough time to survive this cold winter. At that time, whether the country re-issues online sales policies, or simply focuses on offline and become the king in offline battles. Even if the relevant departments really kill this industry, they will understand it.

But the ideal is full, and the cruel reality is that after the country issued an online ban, it was spread by rumors, the entire industry was demonized, and offline became deserted. One store could not sell ten orders a day, making profits was simply a dream. Ironically, even so, the counters in the shopping mall were still fiercely snatched by their peers, so no one could think of living well.

In fact, shopping malls are not the best scenes for selling e-cigarettes. The best scenes are and only convenience stores.
