Chapter 1325 An Explanation for the People of the Whole Country

The shooting of the public service advertisement was very simple. Li Mu went through the set four lines in four paragraphs in front of the camera. After each line was passed, he shot another four lines for the director and put them in a whole line. The complete clip, and then completed his task, which only took less than ten minutes before and after.

However, Li Mu knew very well that the next interview with Sun Junyi was the top priority for Yang's mother to invite him over this time.

Sitting opposite Sun Junyi in the studio, Sun Junyi first narrated the various efforts made by Li Mu and his two companies in the process of fighting SARS. After a very positive evaluation, it was Sun Junyi's questioning session.

Faced with every question raised by Sun Junyi, Li Mu answered one by one very naturally.

Sun Junyi asked him, "Mr. Li, what do you think of this SARS epidemic?"

Li Mu replied: "I think SARS is just an unintended episode in our development process. For tens of thousands of years, diseases have been the eternal opponents of human beings in the process of development. No matter how human beings develop, it is impossible to completely eliminate diseases. , Encountering a new type of disease is nothing new in the history of human development, and our current medical level has made great progress compared with the past few decades, so I don’t think SARS will really become a kind of disease. pandemic disease."

Sun Junyi asked Li Mu again: "Mr. Li, in your opinion, can this epidemic be overcome quickly?"

Li Mu nodded and said seriously: "I believe in the strength of the country and the cohesion of the people. At the same time, I also believe in science, and in our medical and scientific research workers. Compared with the popular avian flu, mad cow disease and Egyptian The destructive power of SARS such as bola virus is obviously much weaker than that of these infectious diseases, so I believe that it will not be long before we can overcome this epidemic, maybe three months, at most six months, we final victory.”

Sun Junyi then asked: "Mr. Li, some time ago, Muye Technology and Taobao jointly donated a large amount of anti-epidemic materials to the health department and the transportation department, including tens of millions of high-grade protective masks, a large number of protective clothing, disinfection equipment and Temperature detection equipment, I would like to ask you, what made you make such a big decision to donate?"

Li Mu replied: "When the epidemic broke out, the whole society was in a state of panic, but in my opinion, the vast majority of the people in society are not in any substantial danger for the time being, and it is important to ensure that they are not temporarily in danger. The root cause of the actual danger is the efforts and dedication of a large number of front-line medical workers;"

After a pause, Li Mu added: "According to the data we have collected, all the cities where the SARS epidemic has been found have not spread widely. This is because our medical staff have already identified confirmed and suspected cases. For isolation and treatment, they exposed themselves to the most dangerous environment, and used their flesh and blood to build a strong wall between the virus and the people, and my company and I have the responsibility and obligation to serve These medical staff provide assistance within their ability, and right now, I believe that what they need most is materials that can enhance personal protection, so we decided to donate this batch of materials to them. If there is a need for related materials in the future, we will continue to Donate more for them."

Sun Junyi praised: "Mr. Li has always been one of the most socially responsible entrepreneurs in domestic private enterprises. We have received a large number of feedbacks from medical institutions. The materials you donated have been given to all the people in the shortest possible time. In the hands of front-line medical workers, and provide them with very good security, here, on behalf of medical workers across the country, I would like to thank you and your two companies for their care and dedication to them."

Li Mu said humbly, "All of these are what we should do."

Sun Junyi added: "In this epidemic, your Taobao.com has received unanimous praise from people all over the country.

When the epidemic was just announced, the prices of materials related to epidemic prevention in various places had skyrocketed. Many merchants with ulterior motives increased the price of goods that were originally worth only a few yuan to tens of yuan or even hundreds of yuan. Your Taobao.com can stabilize prices in the shortest time. This also makes many people in China who do not know Taobao or do not understand online shopping know more about Taobao.com and the Internet and e-commerce. Then I would like to ask you, In your opinion, what changes will the Internet and e-commerce bring to consumers in the future, and why will they bring about the changes you envision. "

This question is a real question of giving points.

This is why Li Mu will always be grateful to Yang Ma. From the moment he was exposed, Yang Ma took good care of him, and has been reporting on himself and his entrepreneurial projects from an absolutely positive perspective, laying a solid foundation for himself. With a strong mass base, now, Yang Ma deliberately arranged such a question in the interview, which is simply giving herself an opportunity to advertise on Taobao. This advertisement is more effective than any hard advertising.

In order to seize this good opportunity, Li Mu replied seriously: "I believe that in the near future, e-commerce will become the mainstream consumption channel of the urban population, and will cover the vast majority of the township and rural population in ten years. At the same time, e-commerce will expand from the current national scope to the future global scope!"

"As for why I expected this, there are many reasons: in the early days of the Internet, in the field of information interaction, it created a virtual world without distance and barriers for all human beings. However, the Internet can do far more than the virtual world. Business is an organic combination of the Internet and the real society;

In real life, consumers have long feet and legs, so the distance they can walk every day for shopping is very limited. The daily consumption range of most people cannot exceed the five-kilometer radius around home For people living in first-tier cities, the daily consumption range may reach 15 kilometers, but this is already the extreme of daily consumption in real life. If a person’s daily consumption needs to be 15 kilometers or even more than 20 kilometers away from home , then it is certain that this person's consumption experience is very tired;

However, in the field of e-commerce, consumers' feet and legs have been completely liberated. They can enjoy a consumption area of ​​9.6 million square kilometers at home without leaving home. We have placed all the products in the country. In front of him, let him sit in front of the computer and choose the products he likes at will. Through online selection, online payment, and offline delivery, users can buy products from all over the country or even the world while sitting at home. This change in consumption methods and experience is absolutely revolutionary. I believe that any consumer who has experienced online shopping will completely fall in love with this new shopping method. I also believe that in the near future, e-commerce will be completely subverted. Consumer habits across the country. "

Sun Junyi nodded and said: "We interviewed many consumers on Taobao, and their comments on the online shopping experience are exactly as you said, this is an unprecedented and subversive new experience, the previous shopping method, It is to arrange the time in advance, clean yourself up, go to the shopping place, and then shuttle to various stores, and spend a long time to select the products you like, but now, everyone just needs to sit at home and move the mouse, you can enjoy Browse products from all over the country, including Vientiane, and see what you like. As long as you place an order and pay, and wait a day or two, the products will be delivered to your door. This experience change is indeed revolutionary. I believe that this SARS epidemic will also Let more consumers fully feel the different consumption mode of e-commerce."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Taobao.com and Taobao Logistics will definitely work harder in the future to provide consumers across the country with a more secure, affordable and convenient shopping experience."

Afterwards, Sun Junyi asked a fifth question: "Mr. Li, whether it is Taobao's use of a large amount of inventory to stabilize prices this time, or your large donation to health and transportation-related departments, behind these measures, It represents a huge reserve of materials. In recent days, many netizens are curious on the Internet. SARS has only just broken out. Before, it only appeared in a small area in Guangdong Province, and at that time, various departments had not done enough to deal with SARS. Seriously, why did you start preparing for this large amount of supplies a few months ago? Is it really like what those netizens said on the Internet, do you have the ability to predict?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said indifferently, "I'm a human being, not a god, so I definitely don't have the ability to foretell prophets. As for why the preparation of this batch of supplies started two or three months in advance, this question is a long story, but since Many netizens are very interested, so let me talk about it.”

"A few months ago, Muye Technology launched the Muying ticketing system for online movie ticket sales. After this product was launched, the director and founder of American DreamWorks, Mr. Spielberg, very much hoped to cooperate with Muye Technology to bring Muying The ticketing system developed to the United States, and it happened that we were also communicating about the script of "Flying Tigers", so he brought a well-known American actress, Anne Hesser, one of our "Flying Tigers" heroines. Wei comes to China together;

It happened that I was busy with the distribution center project of Taobao Logistics in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province at that time. You should also have the impression that we launched the first automatic sorting system of Taobao Logistics there. I attached great importance to this matter, so during that time I have been in the Shenzhen market all the time, and Spielberg and Anne Hathaway also went to the Shenzhen market to meet with me to discuss the specific details of the cooperation;

At that time, there were already some rumors in the Shenzhen market that there was a relatively serious infectious disease in the local area. Although the rumors were unconfirmed, many people were rushing to buy masks and disinfectants. The disease also has a very good curb effect, so there was a situation where some people were driving up prices at that time, but it was far less outrageous than later;

I was in Shenzhen at the time, and I didn’t pay much attention to these rumors. However, a few days later, Miss Anne suddenly developed a high fever and was hospitalized. An unconfirmed new infectious disease. Miss Anne was hospitalized with a high fever for several days. The situation was very critical. Although it was later confirmed that her high fever was not an infection of an infectious disease, this incident still touched me a lot. Some rumors in the local market and the situation of price gouging, I feel that it is necessary to prepare for the worst. If this infectious disease is really serious and spreading, my company and I can help the society. What can be done to mitigate the harm caused by this infectious disease. "

After thinking about it carefully, I decided to start from two aspects. On the one hand, I should hoard a lot of conventional anti-epidemic materials in advance, so that if the epidemic really breaks out, unscrupulous traders will take the opportunity to drive up prices; on the other hand, to control the epidemic, the most important thing must be to prevent the epidemic Healthy people are infected, and it is the vast number of medical staff who are responsible for this work, so I have an idea of ​​hoarding some medical and epidemic prevention materials and equipment in advance. It was just during that time that I went to the United States. I have a friend and this The manufacturer of the company is relatively familiar, so I negotiated a relatively favorable price with the manufacturer, and ordered a batch of materials and equipment in advance. "

It was also the first time that Sun Junyi heard Li Mu's positive answer. After listening to it, he was completely surprised. He knew that Li Mu had indeed stayed in Guangdong Province for a long time some time ago, and that Spielberg and Anne Hathaway had indeed made a special trip to Shenzhen. The city asked him to meet to discuss cooperation, but he didn't expect that Anne Hathaway was sick. He didn't doubt the authenticity of what Li Mu said, because this kind of thing can be verified by the Shenzhen medical unit. He was just a little scared when he got the answer. Fortunately, Anne Hathaway was not infected with SARS at that time. Otherwise, if the news of an international movie star contracting SARS in China was exposed, the impact on the international image would be immeasurable.

In addition, Sun Junyi was also amazed at Li Mu's courage. He was able to infer from some clues or some uncertain clues that there was a possibility of an outbreak, and invested more than one billion yuan to hoard various materials. Don't worry that these materials will fall into your hands because of your own wrong inferences, this kind of courage, I am afraid that no entrepreneur in China except Li Mu can do it.

Thinking of this, Sun Junyi couldn't help but ask a question that was not within the scope of prior communication: "Mr. Li, just relying on these clues, you have the courage to invest one billion or even two billion yuan to prevent problems before they happen. Don't worry, if the inference is wrong, you will face huge losses?"

Li Mu smiled confidently and said indifferently: "I'm not worried at all about my inference being wrong. There are two reasons. First, if my inference is wrong and there is no epidemic, it's a good thing for the society, so why should I worry? Secondly, Taobao already had a very large volume at that time. I can normally digest a large part or even all of this batch of materials through Taobao. Even if there is a loss, it is impossible to lose all of it. The maximum loss is several hundred million yuan. As a businessman , Naturally, there are preparations to face losses, only a few hundred million yuan, which is nothing to me and my company, and I think it is worthwhile to exchange a few hundred million yuan of potential losses for the whole society for insurance."

With that said, Li Mu looked at Sun Junyi and said to him with a smile: "By the way, anyone who starts a business has courage, but I'm just a little more courageous than the average person, and this matter is far from being the case. The most daring thing I've ever done."

Sun Junyi was quickly distracted by Li Mu, and curiously asked a second question that was not within the scope of communication: "Then Mr. Li, what is the most courageous thing you have done so far?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Muye Technology raised the C round of financing, and brought in 3.3 billion US dollars in cash. After the money arrived, I allocated more than 2 billion US dollars, or even more than 20 billion yuan of funds. In one thing, do you know what it is?"

Sun Junyi widened his eyes and shook his head.

Li Mu said: "I have used more than 20 billion yuan to build multiple data processing centers around the world. Now, the first phase of this plan has been realized, so Muye Technology can support tens of millions of people worldwide at the same time. Even hundreds of millions of people log in to YY, chat through YY text, make video calls, transfer data, send and receive emails, and browse YY portal. At the same time, we can support tens of millions of people to play "Paradise Town" and "Plants vs. Zombies Online" at the same time;

In the future, our data processing center will also be able to support hundreds of millions of people playing large-scale online games, watching high-definition videos, and making high-quality video and voice calls at the same time. Even in the further future, we will not only provide such support for ourselves , but also to provide the same support for countless Internet companies all over the world. This is our data service business, and this business itself will not be profitable in the next few years, but I infer that it will not only be worth the price in the future , so we spent 20 billion in it. Guess I will worry that the 20 billion will go to waste? "

Sun Junyi came back to his senses and sighed: "After hearing what you said, I believe you shouldn't be worried."

Li Mu nodded: "I'm not worried, and I'm not worried at all, this is not only because of my trust in my own judgment, but also because of my consistent style of doing things, as long as I think it is necessary to do things, no matter how high the investment is. I will not be worried either. 20 billion to invest in a data processing center and 2 billion to hoard anti-epidemic materials are the same in my opinion. Not to mention that 2 billion may be lost, even 20 billion is lost. I will not back down. In the future, Muye Technology or Taobao may invest 50 billion or even 100 billion in projects. If I dare not even make a decision of 2 billion, why should these two companies become industries? top notch?"
