466 Not Just Cloud Shopping
“The shopping mall’s activities even reached your school?” Mr. Chu asked Chu Ning in surprise.
“There are a lot of people at Runfa Shopping Mall today. I heard from my colleagues that there’s an event there. They said that if you download a shopping app and place an order, you can get free eggs and meat,” Mrs. Chu chuckled.
“I heard people discussing it on the way here. I didn’t expect it to be true.” Chu Ning made a surprised expression.
“There are a lot of people at Runfa Shopping Mall. Your dad and I bought some groceries and daily necessities. They said that it would be delivered within 24 hours because there were too many people. Normally, it can be delivered within an hour, but I don’t know if it’s true or not. However, Runfa Shopping Mall is so big, so I don’t think they’re trying to cheat people,” Mrs. Chu explained.
“It’s like this,” Chu Ning’s heart started to pound when she heard her mother’s words.
This meant that many people were starting to place orders on the Cloud Shopping platform.
“Dad, Mom, you guys rest. I’ll go cook.” Chu Ning felt that she had to find something to do to distract herself.
The couple didn’t know that their daughter was the one behind all this. If they had known, they would have been shocked.
They couldn’t understand this kind of extravagant behavior, because the economic benefits produced were not very intuitive.
After dinner, Chu Ning started to tidy up the house.
At 9 pm, Chu Ning took out her phone again.
She couldn’t take it anymore. From the afternoon until now, she hadn’t checked the real-time data of Cloud Shopping’s back-end.
She could have a look now.
24,555, 24,561, 24,570…
The real-time number of orders was rapidly increasing.
The 200 couriers were also very hardworking. When having orders along the same route, they could deliver five to ten orders in one trip. So far, they had completed more than 4,000 orders. At this rate, it would not be a problem to complete the deliveries before the next night.
Looking at the data on the phone, Chu Ning’s lips finally curved upwards.
She could finally let go of the suspense she had been feeling.
The number of orders from Runfa Shopping Mall alone that night was estimated to be around 50,000 yuan. Based on the low standard delivery fee of 4 yuan per trip, Chu Ning could earn an initial profit of 200,000 yuan merely within a few hours that evening.
“Don’t get too excited, this is just the beginning.” Chu Ning kept telling herself that she must not get carried away.
Looking at the small room, Chu Ning suddenly remembered the first time she came to the Chu residence.
At that time, she could be described as penniless. She didn’t have money to eat, take a taxi, or purchase daily necessities.
Time flew by, and a few months had passed.
Soaring Clouds Group’s company account still had more than 100 million in disposable cash.
In the end, she had opened up the market in M City.
It was foreseeable that it wouldn’t take long for customers of Runfa Shopping Mall to gradually become familiar with the Cloud Shopping software and progressively become inseparable from this convenient and practical tool.
Other than the delivery fee of more than 200,000 yuan, just Cloud Shopping alone had contributed nearly 4 million in sales to Runfa Shopping Mall that night!
“After Cloud Shopping is fully promoted in M City, the volume of sales will definitely rise to another level. In addition to the people in the city who can enjoy the convenience services, the suburbs and remote villages and towns can also use it. To be conservative, even if I only have five times the amount tonight, I’ll still have a profit of more than one million. After deducting the cost of 80%, I’ll still have about 300,000 yuan left. In other words, just M City alone can bring me about a hundred million in income a year…” Chu Ning sat in front of the table, writing and drawing on a piece of draft paper as she mumbled to herself.
After a rough calculation, she finally understood why the person before her transmigration had been able to become the world’s richest man with a shopping app.
Chu Ning clearly remembered that the world’s richest man’s personal wealth had exceeded one trillion yuan at his peak. This was even higher than the total annual GDP of some small and medium-sized countries.
Chu Ning unknowingly grinned again.
She covered her mouth and put down the pen in her hand, trying not to laugh out loud.
Chu Ning really wanted to calm down, but her heart was in turmoil.
She understood that she was not just providing a shopping platform!
