Chapter 478: Living in Peace, Thinking of Danger

Lin Lao Yezi doesn't understand economics; since Chen Yang doesn't care about money, he also can't be bothered to ask. After all, he also knows that this son-in-law's money-making ability far exceeds his spending ability.

And this Spring Festival's Spring Festival Gala, thanks to the sponsorship of the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform, received the unanimous attention of the Lin family. They watched from the opening all the way to the unforgettable tonight.

Chen Yang accompanied everyone in watching the Spring Festival Gala while communicating with Shen Anna, who was supervising the battle at the company. The feedback received was that the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform's visit volume directly doubled, and it also gained an additional twenty million registered users. The total number of registered users has already exceeded fifty million.

According to the data given by the National Internet Development Statistics Report, the current total number of internet users in the country has just exceeded eighty million. That is to say, more than sixty percent of internet users have registered with the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform.

This also means that the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform has become the absolute leader in the domestic e-commerce industry!

Now, as long as Chen Yang doesn't mess around, the super e-commerce giants from the previous life such as Certain Treasure, Certain East, Certain Duo Duo, etc., wanting to surpass again, would find it harder than climbing Mount Everest.

What's more surprising to Chen Yang is that Liu Jianghua, on the last day of the new year, was still paying attention to the situation of the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform and proactively sent him a message, congratulating the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform on receiving very good word-of-mouth at the Spring Festival Gala.

With the affirmation of the new governor, Chen Yang felt that this New Year's Eve was spent especially differently.

The Spring Festival arrangements remain to go to Xingcheng to pay New Year's greetings to all the elders and provincial and municipal-level leaders.

The difference is that Chen Yang's villa is also very lively this year.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Yexin, Huang BaiMing, Zhao Feiyang, Liu Shijie, Qi Yunxiang, Zhou Baolin, Chen Chong, and Hu Jiahao, these friends from the business scene, all made an appointment to come to Jiangmen Dao.

Shen Anna also brought along the senior executives of the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company who stayed in Xingcheng for the New Year to come and pay New Year's respects to Chen Yang.

However, besides Shen Anna and the company's executives, Yexin and those people, after paying New Year's respects to Chen Yang, ran over to Lin Jianguo's side to pay New Year's respects.

It is obvious that they have already received the news that Lin Jianguo is to be promoted to mayor of Qingshui City. This time they came over to pay respects in advance.

Chen Yang doesn't mind this either. Under the circumstance that he needs to avoid suspicion, these people's investments in Qingshui City are the greatest assistance for Lin Jianguo.

"Boss, the secretary of Governor Liu called me this morning, saying that on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the Provincial Party Secretary and the Governor will come to the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company for research, letting us prepare in advance." Shen Anna's voice was very excited. The Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company has only been established for a year and a half, but has already received several provincial and municipal leaders; this time it even startled the top two officials of the Provincial Party Committee.

Chen Yang was not surprised by this news. Because whether it is the Provincial Party Secretary Cheng Hua or the Governor Liu Jianghua, they are both very interested in the e-commerce industry.

With the boost of the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform's Spring Festival Gala advertising effect, they will definitely be more determined to develop e-commerce and related industries.

And their attention, for Chen Yang, is not entirely a good thing. Because he is too aware of the people's talent for involution.

"Anna Sister, you tell Luo Xue and Luo Hao to, after the year, strengthen the recruitment of technical talent for the e-commerce platform. After the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform becomes popular, the future competition in this industry will be extremely fierce. We can only remain invincible by continuously optimizing technology."

Shen Anna looked at Chen Yang with a puzzled expression and said: "Boss, we are already the e-commerce platform with the most registered users across the entire network; who else could pose a threat to us?"

Chen Yang said to her: "Anna Sister, after our e-commerce platform went on the Spring Festival Gala, the attention is not only limited to the provincial party leaders of Dongjiangsheng; leaders from other provinces will also pay attention. Once the national elite gather in this industry, competition will become extremely brutal."

"We merely occupy the advantage of first-mover; if we just lie on the laurels and live off past achievements, it won't be long before we are surpassed by latercomers."

Upon hearing this, Shen Anna's face immediately turned solemn. "Boss, are you being overly worried? To promote this e-commerce platform, we have spent hundreds of millions just on publicity and advertising fees."

Chen Yang reminded her: "In this world, it's not only us who have money. The same methods will be used by our future competitors, and they might even use them more ruthlessly."

"Therefore, we must be prepared for danger in times of safety, always ready mentally to face all kinds of competition."

Shen Anna felt that Chen Yang was a bit alarmist, but she could not refute him. Because up to now, this boss has never made a mistaken decision.

Thus, the senior executives of the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company held the first executive meeting of the new year in the living room of Chen Yang's villa.

The meeting's agenda had only one item: to strengthen the service quality of the online and offline platforms.

Because Chen Yang clearly understands that in the early stage of e-commerce platform development, consumers care more about the shopping experience.

For those newly joined members, if the webpage takes too long to open, logging into the account is too slow, and the shopping process is too complicated, they will quickly lose patience.

While old users pay more attention to product quality and after-sales service. If they buy counterfeit or substandard goods at a high price, and the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform's after-sales customer service cannot handle the problem in a timely manner, over time they will also lose a large number of customers.

As for the possible price war that may be faced later, Chen Yang is not worried instead. This kind of competition requires a very large cost; without sufficient economic foundation support, ordinary merchants simply cannot afford it.

However, just in case, at the end of the meeting Chen Yang still emphasized the need to establish good cooperative relations with domestic mainstream logistics companies.

As a Reborn Person, Chen Yang clearly understands that logistics is the key point of price wars for e-commerce platforms. For example, for the same product worth ten yuan, if one merchant's shipping fee is only one yuan, while another's is eight yuan, then the merchant with the one-yuan shipping fee can crush the other merchant in product price.

Of course, in this logistics aspect, the most cost-effective is still to establish the company's own logistics system. This not only maximizes cost reduction, but also avoids being strangled by other courier companies.

Chen Yang currently has established a stable logistics system in Dongjiangsheng and Shen City; the next step is to expand nationwide.

But this process will be very long. Not only is it a matter of funds, but it also requires opening up various local connections.

After the meeting ended, Shen Anna then led the company's executives away.

After Chen Yang saw them off, he discovered that Yexin and the others had also left early.

After making a phone call to inquire, he found out that they were all having a gathering at Shen Anna's place.

Thus, Chen Yang again brought Lin Wei along to go to Shen Anna's villa.
