353 Meeting

Chu Ning also felt the pressure of being a boss. She had huge expenses every day, and her job was to make a profit while earning enough to cover these expenses.

“Earn money, earn money!” Chu Ning encouraged herself in the mirror.

Soaring Clouds Group’s building was still under construction. After the first floor was completed, there were nine more floors to be renovated. Chu Ning needed to use the first floor as a transit center for agricultural products, so she had to rush the progress.

The afternoon meeting was held in the living room of Chu Ning’s villa. Including Bai Hong, the Soaring Clouds Group now had six core members.

Of course, Zhang Bo was still resting in the hospital and could not attend the meeting in person…

“Next, I’ll introduce two new members. Sitting on my left is Bai Hong. You’ll know what he does in the future. Sitting on my right is Lu Chao. That’s why I went to S City yesterday.” Chu Ning looked at the three people in front of her and smiled.

“Oh? It seems like President Chu values this Mr. Lu very much.” Sun Ru was the first to speak.

She had a straightforward personality. After she had officially become the finance director of Soaring Clouds Group, her mental state had changed quite a bit.

The Soaring Clouds Group spent hundreds of thousands of yuan every day, but not a single cent entered their account. As the finance manager, she was even more anxious than Chu Ning, the boss.

“Now, I can also make it clear to everyone that agricultural products are only one of the business directions of our Soaring Clouds. However, this first step is extremely crucial. We must not make any mistakes. Everyone must pay attention to this,” Chu Ning continued.

“President Chu, the market for agricultural products in the surrounding cities is not very competitive. It’s mainly because someone has already monopolized it. The rest are just small scattered private businesses, and this is the result of those big shots deliberately splitting the profits,” Huang Fang said with a serious expression.

This situation was very similar to the current situation in M City.

Yang Feng’s family dominated the market, occupying more than 70% of the agricultural products market in M City. The remaining 30% was divided up by small merchants like Zhang Quan.

Of course, all the money was earned by Yang Feng alone. The key was that he didn’t promote the positive development of M City. On the contrary, he suppressed the vitality and production scale of other related companies.

“That’s why we’re going to break this pattern now. But we’re not going to become the second Yang Feng, and there’s no point in that. We need to lead a new industry that will benefit all the businesses in M City,” Chu Ning said confidently.

“Don’t brag. We haven’t made any money to this date. Even if you have an ideal, you have to consider reality, okay?” Sun Ru thought helplessly to herself, but she didn’t dare to voice this out.

“We must be steady in the early stages and can’t make any fundamental mistakes. Now, I’ll tell you the real reason I invited Mr. Lu Chao to join the Soaring Clouds Group.”

Chu Ning paused and then continued, “We’re going to make a software. The purpose of its existence is to make it convenient for everyone’s daily shopping. For example, agricultural products. Sun Ru, if it rained today and you ran out of vegetables at home, would you prefer to go out and buy them, or for someone deliver the goods to your door?”

“Of course I hope the seller can deliver the goods to the door, but that way, the price will be very expensive. Moreover, there are no clear charging standards for door-to-door delivery. Some businesses might only charge 20 yuan, some would charge 100 yuan, and it’s possible to charge a few hundred yuan for some high-grade ingredients. But sometimes, I only spend 20 yuan to buy vegetables. If the delivery fee is another 20 yuan, wouldn’t I be losing out?” Sun Ru spread out her hands and said helplessly.

Getting items delivered was something that only the rich would do. Most of the ordinary citizens would rather walk a little more. After all, it was not easy to make money.

“What?” Huang Fang’s eyes suddenly flashed. Chu Ning had just mentioned that she wanted to develop an app that would make shopping more convenient for everyone.

She would build an agricultural product transit center in the city center. This way, the cost of delivery would be reduced, but efficiency would be much improved!

“If I only charge you 10% for the delivery fee for 20 yuan worth of vegetables, would you buy it directly online?” Chu Ning continued with a smile.

“Of course I’d be willing. It’s such a good deal. The delivery fee of two dollars can save me an hour. It’s too good a deal,” Sun Ru nodded and spoke frankly.
