Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

After dealing with the small troubles in Glory, Qu Li came to China Film Group again, because Han Sanpin proposed an interesting idea, making Qu Li one of the "directors" of "Red Cliff", and then the specific shooting work will be handled by another The director is in charge.

Wu Baige is not good, Zhang Guoshi is not free, Xiangjiang's old monster Xu Ke Xu is also good, with unlimited energy, but he doesn't seem to be distracted.

"Director Chen, how could he agree?" Qu Li was very surprised, one of the top three directors in China, really capable.

Qu Li actually likes several of Chen Kaige's movies, not to mention "Farewell My Concubine", "Search", "Taoist Down the Mountain" and "Legend of the Demon Cat" are all good. The screens of the latter two movies look very comfortable and beautiful. It's a pity that most of the time, the little poet reciter can't tell a good story, which may have something to do with his business pursuit.

The question is, if someone is successful and famous, is it necessary for Qu Li to be famous?

What can Han Sanpin say, "The Promise" caused China Film to suffer a lot, but Director Chen is his own man. With the help of Qu Li's reputation, this great director came back, and by the way, he achieved great success through "Red Cliff", establishing his status as a great director. It can't always be questioned that his father helped him film "Farewell My Concubine".

"I only have one request, the script can't be changed, this time he can't express himself in the movie, follow the model of the producer being in charge, don't let his wife participate." Although this time it's just using Qu Li's name, he doesn't need to invest, But why let others tarnish his reputation?

"You may have misunderstood him."

"Maybe, I think Director Chen may be too successful. There is no one who tells the truth around him, and I don't know if he has reflected on "The Promise". Is the spoof of "Mantou" really worthless?"

"Why, "Steamed Bread" is too biased and unfair."

"But not a single sentence of cyber violence can cover up the failure of "The Promise"."

Director Chen's later "Search" was well shot, perhaps to refute the public's doubts about "The Promise", thinking that it was cyber violence, and he felt it, so he did it in one go.

"So you don't want Director Chen to be in charge of "Red Cliff"?"

"On the contrary, I think he is very suitable, but he needs to be restrained. He may have his own ideas about the Three Kingdoms, but this kind of commercial blockbuster needs to cater to the audience instead of expressing his philosophical thinking..."

"You're right, your script is good enough..."

Qu Li didn't have time to get involved in the creation of "Red Cliff", but he couldn't help it. He, who made a short film, unexpectedly had the opportunity to participate in a major domestic production, and his inner commotion was unbearable.

After receiving the first batch of funds, Jumei went to Beijin to set up a branch company to build a warehouse and logistics center in the north, and will start school recruitment this fall. They are qualified to reserve excellent talent resources. Because Qu Li is in Beijin, he temporarily assumes the management responsibility of Jumei Beijin Branch.

Jumei Beijin Branch is responsible for the Hatsune Miku project, and also needs to contact Beijin Yonghang to provide clothing design materials to facilitate brand promotion in the future. These are small things. Zhang Wensong came to Beijin to preside over the development of cloud computing, big data analysis and search technology.

There will not be a lot of resources invested in the early stage, at least until Jumei transforms into a B2C e-commerce platform, there will be no large-scale investment.

Why there is cloud computing and big data analysis, of course, is to do pre-research for the underlying technical support of the middle platform system. Although Qu Li does not understand cloud computing, he also knows virtualization, distributed data storage, distributed resource management, and intelligence. Manage these nouns, tell your own thoughts to Lin Bing, Zhang Wensong and others, you should be able to avoid a lot of detours.

It is not easy for Lin Bing in Yangcheng. Logistics information system, ERP information system, database, in order to realize the functions of middle office, large-scale personnel recruitment is indispensable. Qu Li doesn't care about this, he will not be in Yangcheng for a long time, he needs to find a suitable COO for Jumei, and there is already a suitable candidate, that is Xu Lei, the CEO of Allyes Advertising. This person later became the CEO of Goudong Group, and his ability and character are beyond doubt.

"Actually, I have been learning and imitating Amazon. However, the development model will naturally be different due to different life circumstances. Amazon has a well-developed capital market in the United States. Amazon can maintain its rapid development through continuous financing."

"It is definitely not possible to copy the Amazon model in China, so I chose to start with clothing e-commerce. I did not expect that the domestic e-commerce business exploded, and in order to make good financial reports, I opened up the cosmetics business, and the self-owned brand clothing business also maintained a very high profit margin. .”

"Originally, according to my plan, Jumei will achieve 200 million yuan in soft sister currency revenue this year, and increase its category by more than 1 billion next year. It will take five or six years to achieve all categories, but the scale of financing this time exceeded my expectations, and it also increased The ambition of our team has been increased, and we need an excellent COO to stay in Yangcheng to help me handle daily affairs.”

"Do investors know?"

"If you know how to do it, so what if you don't know it. Jumei belongs to our team now."

"If you want to make a full range of products, how do you deal with the relationship with Taobao?"

"This is what I want to ask you too. Jumei's self-operated business profit far exceeds that of cosmetics, but it is necessary to distribute resources to other departments. Is this unfair reward and punishment? What should I do?"

"Jumei is Jumei, and the clothing brand is a brand. It should be divided into two. The e-commerce platform operates independently, and the two parties have no affiliation..."

The two discussed the matter of Jumei, including the categories that should be expanded in the next step. It should naturally increase the men's and women's shoes of major brands, and it is best to call on merchants to open brand flagship stores. Before Taobao has no choice between the two, lay a piece of territory in advance.

Qu Li’s preparations for Ali’s monopoly are not limited to this. The supply chain management system created now can also be applied to other products in other industries in the future. Brand owners cannot open brand flagship stores in Jumei, so Jumei can purchase first and then sell. This is what Amazon does, but there is no Taobao in the United States, so Amazon is not under much pressure.

"Provide logistics services for third-party sellers?"

"It's also a way." Qu Li thought of the terrifying order volume in the future, and felt that the competitiveness of self-operated logistics services was not as great as imagined.

"How do you know I'm competent?" Xu Lei asked after the two chatted for a long time

"I don't know. Your conditions are the most suitable. Jumei's need for a COO is temporary. Focus acquisition is good. You have the possibility of resignation. You can give each other a chance. Jumei's business is actually quite complicated. Not just selling things online, I needed someone with strong execution to handle the e-commerce business.”

Xu Lei probably understood his position in Qu Li's heart, and he seemed to have the ability to execute. He still has some shares in Allyes. Can the loss of leaving now be made up in Jumei?

Qu Li did not urge Xu Lei. Jumei had just raised funds. This is the peak period of public opinion. There are a lot of good words in the online media, and Jumei is very attractive at this time.
