Chapter 616 GG Online Launched
"Ask someone to write the company's software to a CD-ROM and send it to me.
I just bought an IBM ThinkPad and it can only install software from a disc. ”
Han Xuan had no choice but to ask Owen for a mobile phone and call Christopher.
Christopher said: "I'm on vacation in the Peraget Islands in the Mediterranean, so I'll have someone send it for you."
Han Xuan, you should really come here to take a look, the waters of the Pelager Islands are bluer than the sky!
I'm having dinner on board with my wife and children, and I've bought you some souvenirs to bring back to the U.S. on the 5th. ”
Through your mobile phone, you can hear the chirping of seagulls.
The company released yesterday that the Gossip-Girl shopping website and the email address are all managed by Mr. Charlie Frey, CEO of hope technology.
Han Xuan didn't know that Christopher had gone on vacation, and said with a smile: "Sorry to disturb you."
Don't bother, I'll just ask old Charlie and have a nice time over there. ”
"Wait, do you know the sales of GG Shopping?"
When it came to this topic, Han Xuan immediately became helpless, GG Shopping Network jumped this time, and the software was not released on time.
The programmer made a mistake when writing the program, which caused the client to not be able to link to the main server in Silicon Valley.
The shopping site, which was supposed to be launched after midnight yesterday, didn't open until 10 p.m. yesterday.
"Old Charlie hasn't told me yet, I'll go ask him......"
didn't want to affect Christopher's mood on vacation, skipping this topic, Han Xuan chatted with him a few words and hung up the phone.
Instead, he called Charley, CEO of Hope Technology, and asked him, "Good morning, sir."
How's it going on with the Gossip-Girl shopping site?"
“…… It's not too good, from 10 o'clock last night to now, the number of software installations has exceeded 190,000, but only more than 24,000 orders have been sold.
Excluding shipping, the total sales were only $410,000.
Some customers didn't understand how to do it at all, and the sales department discussed it all night, thinking that it might be because the total selling price of the product was too high. ”
"High? Isn't it down?"
Only sold more than 20,000 orders, this number and Han Xuan's expectation is too big, halfway through the words came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Freight, it's a high freight, right?"
"That's right, for ten dollars per kilogram, the average customer buys a single order, and it costs about seventeen dollars for shipping.
I've seen feedback from customers who think the price is too high, and if they want to buy something like toothbrushes and toilet paper, it's better to buy it on the street themselves.
Most of the people who bought things thought the website was interesting and wanted to spend some money to try it, and they also thought that after adding the shipping fee, the price was expensive and not cost-effective. ”
Today, there is only one official large-scale shopping website, GG.
Because logistics is not widely popular, customers can only go to SOS convenience stores to pick up their purchases, and they also collect the cost of cash on delivery.
The freight of ten dollars a kilogram, excluding the expenses of the SOS transportation company, is actually not very profitable, and it can barely lose money.
This industry has to ship a lot of goods to make money, and with the number of netizens now, it is destined that there will not be too many people shopping online.
Han Xuan didn't think that this website would be able to make money from the beginning, in order to occupy market share in advance and bind the user base.
He felt that there was something wrong with his thinking, and that this website should focus on selling high-priced goods in the early days.
Only in this way can customers feel that buying something online is cheaper than buying in a physical store, regardless of those shipping costs, so as to attract them to spend.
GG Shopping Mall's products are stored in the logistics warehouse of the SOS Group, with a complete range of products, and if you want to be cheap, you can also let customers buy them in a package, which can be counted as the same delivery.
Tell old Charlie about the idea.
Han Xuan continued: "Replace all the products that are less than 100 dollars on the homepage, and replace them with digital products, high-end luxury goods, and other products that customers usually want, but feel that the price is too high to sell."
Keep track of the sales of each item, and prioritize what sells more.
Renegotiate the purchase amount with suppliers, increase the batch, and let them reduce the ex-factory price, and in recent times, shopping websites have focused on mid-to-high-end products.
Don't take care of my family's products, be fair in the placement of advertising space.
Otherwise, attracting private merchants in the future will cause them to feel that GG Shopping Network is biased towards internal products, and customers will also be disgusted.
Well, I'll go to Los Angeles tomorrow and write you the detailed plan.
You ask someone to come and get it, hand it over to the sales department to discuss the feasibility, and tell me if there is anything that needs to be added. ”
"Okay, where can I get it, the headquarters of the Snow Mountain Investment Company?" asked Old Charley.
"Okay, just go anywhere, tell you the specific time tomorrow, copy the company's software on CD-ROM, and send it to the Snow Mountain Ranch......"
Anya listened to him quietly, most of them confused, but she was sure she could understand one of them.
Waiting for Han Xuan to hang up the phone, he asked, "Are you going to Los Angeles tomorrow?"
"Well, let's take a trip, I'll leave this afternoon, there's something going on over there.
If you want to play here, you can wait for me to come back, if you don't want to stay in the snowy mountain pasture, I'll take you to the Maldives, where my parents are there. ”
Han Xuan was still thinking about it in the morning, whether to go and see the old man and Jeremia, that cheap old man.
Now this matter has become the straw that crushes his psychological balance, and he is more inclined to go.
The importance of the GG shopping website lies in the fact that it can make a lot of money, whether it is selling advertising space or supporting the payment software that is currently under development in the future.
Not to mention how much liquidity the payment software can bring to East West Bank once it's put into use.
The failure of this market positioning came suddenly, and Han Xuan could already guess what would be written in the newspaper tomorrow.
Who asked him to boast about Haikou at the annual meeting, saying that after the listing, the sales exceeded 2 million, and he would give the company's employees 0.5% of the stock dividend rights.
Now it seems that it is already difficult to reach two million dollars in 24 hours.
Whether it's the Destiny search engine or the WOW chat software, they are menacing when they go public, and the number of users has grown by leaps and bounds.
In comparison, the GG shopping website, which invested a huge advertising fee of 5 million US dollars this time, is actually a good result, but it is also insignificant at the moment.
The media encountered him for the first time "failed", and they would never let go of this rare opportunity.
Han Xuan hadn't seen the appearance of the shopping software since it was released, and he didn't know how to plan for it, at least he had to look at user feedback and understand the situation, so he wanted to go to Los Angeles.
Anya was distressed.
She felt that although the Snow Mountain Ranch was cold, it was very fun, and the quiet environment was very suitable for her.
I feel that going to the Maldives may be more interesting, after all, I have seen the photos taken by Han Xuan last year, and I know how beautiful the sea is over there.
Choosing a patient with difficulty requires someone to pull.
Han Xuan saw Anya's tangled appearance and helped her make a decision, "Gabriel, let my private jet come to Billings, and we will leave for Los Angeles at three or four o'clock in the afternoon." ”
The bodyguards are fed up with the cold winter here, and every time they go out, they feel like they're going to die.
Hearing this, Jason looked happy: "Yes! Maldives!!"
"Don't get excited, I haven't decided whether to go or not" (To be continued.) )
