Compared with her huge business territory, this is simply a drop in the bucket, and even a bit devalued.
Wang Qiuya seemed to have expected that I would ask this, and told me a piece of news: "Do you think this is just a small outlet?"
"The parent company of Taobao will launch a plan called lightning expansion starting next month. In the first phase, an initial investment of 50 billion will be made."
"Fifty billion?" This number has no concept at all for ordinary people like me.
"Yes, 50 billion. All of it will be used for market subsidies, user acquisition and channel construction." Wang Qiuya's eyes swept across the entire commercial street.
It was like looking at a battlefield in the future. "The purpose is very simple. Use the fastest speed and the highest intensity to grab a piece of the takeout and instant retail market cake from the existing giants." This is no small fight, this is the prelude to a commercial war that will be ignited with huge amounts of money.
And she chose to push me, a delivery rider, to the forefront.
A violent storm is coming, and I seem to have no choice but to be caught in the center of the storm.
Wang Qiuya waved to the store: "Xiao Zhang, come here."
In response, a young woman trotted out of the store.
She is about 27 or 28 years old, wearing a well-fitting light gray professional skirt, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose.
The cheeks are somewhat rounded and the figure is slightly chubby, but there is a sense of neatness in his movements.
The most eye-catching thing is the medium-sized black mole above the left corner of her mouth, which gives her originally slightly serious face a unique look.
She walked quickly to Wang Qiuya with a folder in her hand and nodded slightly: "Mr. Wang."
"This is Chen Hao, the future person in charge of this website, Webmaster Chen." Wang Qiuya gestured to me.
"This is Zhang Wei, the financial officer sent by the company. From now on, he will be responsible for all accounts, capital flow and system connection of this outlet."
Zhang Wei immediately turned to me, stretched out her hand, with a standard professional smile on her face: "Hello, Webmaster Chen. Please give me more advice in the future. If you have any questions about paydays, bonus calculations, daily reimbursements, or any money-related issues in the system backend, you can contact me."
"Hello, Accountant Zhang." I nodded. I understand in my heart that this is both support and restriction.
It is impossible for Wang Qiuya to really leave a small treasury to me.
"I have already arranged the system permissions and initial funds. People from the technical department will come over in the afternoon to help you with final debugging and training." Wang Qiuya told Zhang Wei.
Then he looked at me again, "The specific operational details, rider recruitment and management are up to you. I only look at the results."
When Wang Qiuya passed by me when leaving, she whispered: "If you can take care of this network, there will be more opportunities waiting for you in the future." I turned my head and subconsciously asked: "Are you testing me?"
Wang Qiuya did not stop or answer directly.
Just showing a shallow smile is already the default.
Opportunity? There is no doubt about it. The little resources leaked from Wang Qiuya's fingers are enough to save ordinary people ten years of struggle.
Controlling an outlet, even at the most junior level, means a complete change in income, status, and vision, far beyond that of a rider who comes and goes through wind and rain.
Challenge? Even more huge. I have no management experience, and the 50 billion subsidy war sounds exciting.
But being at the forefront of outlets, you can imagine the pressure.
"Although Wang Qiuya has given me a stage to perform, I must also open my own small pharmacy." I secretly made up my mind.
Although that small pharmacy has not officially opened yet, I have invested a lot of effort and money.
"Stationmaster Chen?" Zhang Wei's voice brought me back from my thoughts.
I came back to my senses and looked at the woman in front of me again. Although her appearance is not outstanding, the V-shaped design of the few centimeters on her neckline is particularly eye-catching.
"What's the matter?"
"Add your contact information first!" Zhang Wei said and took out her mobile phone.
Indeed, add her, after all, the financial power is in Zhang Wei's hands.
After adding the contact information, I walked into the store to communicate with the decoration master about the progress, and learned that it would take about two or three days to complete the work.
Just in time to take care of the resignation procedures.
When I turned around and was about to leave, Zhang Wei stopped me and said, "Stationmaster Chen, is it convenient for you to give me a ride? This is a new development area with few bus lines, and it seems that it is not convenient to take a taxi at this time."
The yellow takeout box with the eye-catching kangaroo icon tied to the back seat of my electric car took up almost the entire back seat, leaving only a small and pitiful space.
"My car may be a bit crowded and not suitable for people."
Zhang Wei looked up at the sky, which was getting darker and darker, with dark clouds beginning to gather, as if she had made some determination: "Just squeeze in a little bit, it's better than waiting for it to rain. I think it's going to rain soon."
She said so, and I couldn't refuse anymore. After all, we will be considered colleagues from now on.
I moved the takeout box forward, barely making room for half my butt in the back seat. "Can you try and see if you can sit down?"
Zhang Wei looked at the small seat and didn't say much. She just sat down carefully sideways and held down the hem of her skirt with one hand.
I drove my new colleague out of the commercial street. Unexpectedly, the pushing feeling on my back when accelerating was stronger than that of Su Yan. It really complied with the old saying that a person cannot be judged by his appearance.
“Webmaster Chen, are you still working at Kangaroo Takeaway? This is our competitor for flash sales.” Zhang Wei’s voice came from behind.
"I just received the appointment from Mr. Wang today, and I will go through the resignation procedures tomorrow."
Wang Qiuya's move really caught me off guard.
"What is your relationship with Mr. Wang? It seems that she values you very much." Zhang Wei continued to ask tentatively.
"I used to be a driver for Mr. Wang." I can't say that I am Wang Qiuya's pretty boy.
Not long after, to my surprise, Zhang Wei and Huang Li lived in the same community.
As soon as the car stopped at the gate of the community, Zhang Wei jumped out of the car, turned around and thanked me: "Thank you, Webmaster Chen, see you at the network tomorrow."
Watching Zhang Wei’s figure disappear into the community, I thought to myself that since we are already here, I might as well stop by to see Huang Li and ask about Xiaoqing’s schooling.
Took off the take-out helmet and jacket, and walked into the community. Knock on Huang Li’s door.
Huang Li was wearing casual home clothes with a facial mask on her face.
Seeing me standing outside the door, a bit of surprise appeared in the eyes exposed outside the mask: "Why are you free to come here today?"
"I just happened to pass by here and came in to see you..."
Before I finished speaking, Huang Li hooked my neck with both hands and kissed me.
