Chapter 1299 Godfather
Faced with the decision of whether to formally rely on Li Mu for survival, Elon Musk made his choice in just a few seconds.
He excitedly said to Li Mu: "Boss, I am willing to cooperate with you!"
Elon Musk is very smart. The title of boss means that he has made it clear that he regards Li Mu as his boss and that he is willing to cooperate with Li Mu. This sentence includes not only the project "Veterans Never Die-American Charity Foundation", but All his own future projects.
Elon Musk knows that after agreeing to Li Mu, he will no longer have his own project in the future. If he finds a new project, he must first report to Li Mu. If Li Mu approves, he will come with him Investment, however, Li Mu will not treat himself badly. If he has a good project, he will think of himself and let himself participate.
Thorough opening up is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity.
Li Mu was also very happy, and immediately informed Lin Qingya of this matter, and asked her to take full responsibility for coordinating with Elon Musk and land as soon as possible.
And Li Mu himself put his energy into the upcoming charity night!
...
When the "Veterans Don't Die Huaxia Internet Industry Spring City Charity Night" officially opened, domestic people spontaneously donated 3.2 billion yuan to the Veterans Don't Die Charity Foundation, and more than 80 million people participated in the donation. Alipay users donated The proportion of the number of people reached 65%.
The number of companies and institutions interested in cooperating with the foundation is also increasing, ranging from Haier, Hisense, Procter & Gamble, and Wal-Mart to hospitals, nursing homes, small supermarkets, and wholesale departments in a prefecture-level city. The total number has exceeded 10,000 Well, the veterans have indeed become a group that the whole society is concerned about. With the strength of the whole society, these veterans will surely be able to give these veterans a happy and worry-free old age.
The survival of veterans has always been a hot topic in news reports, and it is also a hot issue of social concern. Li Mu suddenly held an Internet industry charity night at this time, which attracted the attention of a large number of media reporters. The staff at the event announced Li Mu's decision to the public: the organizer will not invite any reporters to interview at the charity night, and no one will be allowed to enter the venue except the staff and invited guests.
The media was very disappointed about this, but because the major media have a very good relationship with Li Mu and Muye Technology, the media gave Li Mu enough respect. On the day the event started, they did not send reporters to squat outside the hotel, but put The reporters in front were dispatched to Chuncheng Airport.
More than 90% of China's Internet industry is concentrated in the four first-tier cities of Yanjing, Shanghai Stock Exchange, Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and Yangcheng, and Spring City is located in the southwest. The only way to get to Spring City from these four first-tier cities in a short time is by plane. The train generally takes at least one day and one night, and some are even longer.
Therefore, the heads of Internet companies who came to Spring City to participate in the charity night must land at the Spring City Airport, so reporters stopped at the airport one after another, hoping to find some celebrities in the Internet industry and conduct a simple interview with them.
This time, more than 300 Internet companies across the country received Li Mu's invitation. Without exception, every company sent a formal email reply after receiving the invitation. Among them, more than 90% of the company leaders decided to Flying to Spring City in person, most of the rest of the business leaders are because they really can't spare the time, and even those who can't spare the time have arranged for other agents to go, and the information they got from Li Ziwei Judging from the feedback, more than 370 Internet companies have all expressed their willingness to participate in this charity night event.
Temporarily holding an industry charity event can allow more than 300 companies to participate 100% without exception. This is almost unimaginable in any industry, even if the Internet enters the era of giants a few years later. In the industry, no giant has such influence. Everyone either forms their own school with their own ecology.
Either form multiple alliances based on their respective regions and subdivided industries. No one in the industry has ever been able to respond to everyone in the industry, and Li Mu is the only one.
When Li Ziwei fed back this result to Li Mu, she was still sincerely admiring: "Mr. Li, you are almost becoming the leader of martial arts in the Internet industry. As long as you say a word, the whole industry will follow you."
Li Mu shook his head and smiled, and said lightly: "Ziwei, please remember that no matter what industry you are in, as long as you are a businessman, his first goal is always to seek profit first, otherwise he is not a qualified businessman, and the Internet industry is the same, do you think , They came all the way from all over the country to Spring City to participate in the charity night we organized, are they here for charity, or are they trying to save face?"
Li Ziwei thought for a while and said: "I think there should be all of them. After all, your influence in the industry is unmatched. If other people without influence were to organize such a thing, it would definitely not be able to organize it." .”
Li Mu smiled and said: "In business, what is the real influence on businessmen? It is nothing more than benefits. For those in the industry, no matter how great my influence is, I will not give it to them." What benefits did they bring, so they may not really give me face, but having said that, I organized this charity event, which is equivalent to building an ultimate salon with contacts in the industry. With contacts and resources, it is really influential for them power thing."
After speaking, Li Mu said again: "Of course, it cannot be denied that some of these hundreds of colleagues must be really moved by this charity project and hope to contribute; but there must also be some who are not interested in charity projects People who have a cold and don’t have a cold for me, the reason why they want to come here is nothing more than to take advantage of this opportunity to come to the scene to expand their contacts and resources. Among other things, they just need to prepare a box of hundreds of business cards and send them around , and take back hundreds of business cards, the contacts contained in these business cards are enough for any industry insider to stay in this industry for a lifetime."
Li Ziwei said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I think most people are here for charity. Our industry itself is an advanced industry, and everyone's thinking should be relatively more progressive."
Li Mu laughed and waved his hands again and again: "Ziwei, don't think so, this industry is only technologically advanced, and character and human nature may not be better than other industries. I can even say that there are quite a few people in this industry. , is a bastard with a high IQ, a bastard with a high IQ is more hateful than a bastard with a low IQ."
Li Ziwei was very surprised and asked him: "President Li, why do you say that?"
Li Mu smiled lightly. He was an Internet person in his previous life, so he knows what people in this industry are thinking about. Every Internet entrepreneur has one thing in mind: making money, racking his brains to make money, so he There will be many marginal, dishonorable, immoral and even illegal business models in the industry.
Some products sell bright colors, some products sell pirated copies, some products hide gambling, some products sell fake products, some people lend usury on the Internet, some play Ponzi schemes on the Internet, and some even sneak up on business models , For example, shared bicycles that specifically cheat consumers’ deposits and run away with money at every turn, such as the seemingly fair but dangerous one-dollar snatching of treasures, and even some charity crowdfunding products are sold as dog meat. Sometimes, Li Mu felt that at least half of the people in this industry were already bad, but he relied on his high-tech industry label to pack himself into five people and six people.
A certain boss who was manufacturing counterfeit sports shoes and sold them all over the country, and the amount involved in the case was over 100 million yuan was arrested. Advertisement, some e-commerce platforms helped him sell fakes all over the country.
For a pair of fake shoes, the manufacturing cost is 50 yuan, and the shipping cost may only be 70 or 80 yuan. After deducting the construction cost, equipment cost, labor cost and risk cost, the owner of a pair of shoes may only earn 5 yuan.
Originally, this business owner could only sell 100,000 pairs of fake shoes a year offline, and most of these fake shoes flowed into the low-end market in third- and fifth-tier cities for offline sales. Now, he sells 100,000 pairs of fake shoes a year. 10,000 pairs, 900,000 pairs are sold online, but one pair still earns 5 yuan.
The biggest difference between offline and online sales of counterfeit goods is that offline counterfeit goods are generally sold in places dedicated to selling counterfeit goods at the price they should be, while online counterfeit goods are Pretend to be the real thing and sell it for real price.
The fake shoes produced by this business owner were sold in large quantities to the online store owner at a price of 7 or 80 yuan. The online store owner put the pair of shoes on the e-commerce platform and sold them to consumers across the country at an average price of 300 yuan. , Among them, the shopkeepers of the online stores seem to have earned a gross profit of more than 200 yuan, but there may be a cost of more than 100 yuan, which was given to the e-commerce platform by purchasing keywords, recommended positions, and through trains. The platform then gave RMB 10-20 to the participating platform of the alliance advertisement, and RMB 5-10 to the logistics and express delivery company. In the remaining tens of RMB profit, there is also its own labor cost and risk cost. Net profit is far less impressive than gross profit.
There are one million pairs of shoes a year, and the amount involved is 300 million yuan. In fact, the boss only earned 5 million yuan;
Dozens of hundreds of online store owners have earned a total of tens of millions of yuan, but on average, each owner only earns hundreds of thousands;
However, the platform collected a total of more than 100 million yuan in various promotion fees from dozens or hundreds of online store owners, of which 80-90% was reserved for itself, and 10-20% was given to the alliance advertising platform.
With such a gray industrial structure, the biggest legal risk is borne by the business owner, followed by the online store owner. If Li Mu hadn’t promoted the legislation on e-commerce sales of counterfeit goods, then the e-commerce platform would basically not have to bear the responsibility, and even if it did, it would be very little. The platform that advertises the alliance is not responsible, nor is the express logistics company responsible for the administrative penalty.
This is the unscrupulous means played by Internet people composed of high-end talents. They use this method to intercept the maximum profit and pass on the maximum risk. What else can it be if it is not a bastard with high IQ?
Only by sorting out this industrial chain, people will understand who is the worst here, not the business owner, nor the online store owner, but the one who created, promoted, and protected this industrial chain. They recruited a bunch of scapegoats , Take the risk of violating the criminal law to play a new mode, and then lie down and make a profit without any risk. This is the most hateful thing.
Therefore, Li Mu often feels that this industry is like Guo Degang talking about the cross talk circle, there are really too few good people.
However, such a situation was slowly brought about after years of unhealthy development. If there is a correct "godfather" in this industry, it will be enough to guide this industry to gradually become healthy!
