Chapter 529 Breaking the Shackles of Chen Tong

The second day of Taobao online, Friday.

Chen Tong, one of the souls of Sina.com, left the company a few hours early and went to the company of his younger brother Liu Yingdong, ready to give his employees a small training as scheduled, and talk about some of his understanding of the Internet.

Last night, he also saw Taobao's jaw-dropping debut, which can be said to have left a deep impression on him.

Chen Tong has been working on the Internet for so many years, and his understanding of the Internet is indeed unparalleled by ordinary people. He understands the importance of the Internet industry model. Sina.com suffers from the model. He couldn't come to the table, and he was very recognized by a new platform with a clear model like Taobao.

However, he didn't think of Taobao and Liu Rongdong together. It wasn't because he looked down on or underestimated Liu Rongdong. The main reason was that Liu Rongdong had always been too low-key in front of him. Judging from his consistent description, he seemed to be still in the hard-working stage of starting a business. The team is also immature.

Moreover, from last night until now, Chen Tong has always been sympathetic to Liu Yingdong. He just sold all his properties and was about to start a business in the field of Internet e-commerce, but he ended up killing a powerful enemy like Taobao.

He is very clear about the background of Taobao. With the backing of YY and EasyTing.com, and the full support of Alipay, even an idiot can see the close connection between Taobao.com and Muye Technology, so he instinctively felt that Liu Yingdong might have a hard time this time. .

According to the address given by Liu Rongdong, Chen Tong drove his Shenlong Fukang to the downstairs of Taobao's office. Liu Rongdong had been waiting for him in the parking lot.

When Chen Tong got out of the car, Liu Rongdong hurried forward and said enthusiastically, "Aiya, Senior Brother Chen, you are here."

Chen Tong looked at Liu Rongdong in surprise. He always felt that in his expectation, Liu Rongdong should not behave like this. He seemed too happy. , but the fact is in front of him, and he would be extremely depressed if he were himself, how could he be so happy?

A few words of courtesy with Liu Yongdong, Chen Tong followed him to the elevator, and asked him tentatively, "Yongdong, how is your company's current situation?"

"It's pretty good." Liu Qidong said with a smile: "The company is still running very well."

Chen Tong was even more puzzled.

But Chen Tong couldn't ask for more details, so he didn't continue the topic, but said to Liu Yingdong: "I prepared a PPT today, but I've been busy with work recently, and the PPT preparation was in a hurry. If there is anything Don't mind the imperfections."

Liu Rongdong smiled and said, "Senior Brother Chen, you are very polite,

I am very honored that you can come and teach these young people how to control Internet content. Even if there is no PPT, you can just chat with them and teach them something useful, and I will be satisfied. "

Chen Tong smiled slightly: "I try my best."

Following Liu Yingdong all the way upstairs and all the way to the door of Taobao, Chen Tong was instantly speechless by the huge and eye-catching company name.

"Yanjing Taobao Network Technology Co., Ltd."

Isn't this Taobao?

Chen Tongsha stood at the door of Taobao.com, stared at Liu Yingdong in astonishment, and asked in astonishment, "Yongdong, you said that you are starting an e-commerce website, is it Taobao.com?"

Seeing his stunned look at the moment, Liu Rongdong felt a little guilty in his heart. He didn't want to hide it from him. After all, he was his senior brother. Liu Rongdong didn't have any bad thoughts about him, but he wanted to help Li Mu poach Chen Tong, so he would come out. This last resort, deliberately concealed, is to destroy his self-confidence and the arrogance of the literati to a certain extent. Only in this way can he break his shackles and give him a new life.

Therefore, Liu Yingdong smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, brother, before Taobao needs to be kept secret, so I didn't tell you too much detail. Zhisouyi set the training thing today because I and the major shareholders. There is an agreement that I can only disclose my relationship with Taobao after Taobao goes online..."

Although Chen Tong was still unable to extricate himself in shock, he nodded understandingly when he heard Liu Yingdong say this. He had worked hard all the way, and he also knew very well about confidentiality agreements and competition agreements.

However, at this time, Chen Tong no longer had the faint arrogant mentality that he had before, but unconsciously felt a sense of insecurity.

Although Sina has already been listed on Nasdaq, it is regarded as the top Internet company in China, but those who are more experienced in the Internet know that Sina has a big bottleneck in its future development. It is also difficult to increase the degree of recognition. The so-called high level is not low, and it is a company like Sina.

But Taobao is different. Taobao is a brand new platform, a platform that can shock the Internet industry overnight. On the first night of its launch, in the four hours from 8:00 to 12:00, Taobao has sold more than 500,000 orders. , sales reached nearly 70 million, this data simply stunned the Internet people in this era.

In addition, Taobao's background and resources are very strong. The industry is very optimistic about Taobao's future. Now he wants to train members of this team on the Internet, which makes him somewhat worried. If others understand the Internet better than himself Spirit, didn't you get the axe?

At this time, Liu Yingdong also saw Chen Tong's worry and couldn't help saying: "Brother, to be honest, most of the members of Taobao's operation team are newcomers, and their understanding of the Internet really needs to be deepened, and we and Muye Technology You should be able to guess the relationship between the two. Our technical team is indeed very strong because of its strong Muye genes. In this way, the gap between the operation team under me is too large, and it is inevitable that the chain will be lost. This time I The main thing is to want you to train our operations team."

Hearing this, Chen Tong's heart was a little calmer, not because he was vain, but mainly because he didn't want to make a joke or make a fool of himself, and Liu Yingdong said this, he also understood his current situation, the company's various departments The level ratio is indeed very important. If the operation team is strong and the technical team is weak, or the technical team is strong and the operation team is weak, there will be more and more differences in the future development of the company. If the company's leadership is not enough Decisive, the company may end up in endless internal friction, and if the leadership is decisive, it will immediately cut off the relatively weak team and replace it with a stronger team.

So Chen Tong took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then let's go as planned. I'll try my best to explain my understanding."

Liu Yingdong quickly thanked him and said, "I told everyone that we will have training in the large conference room at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. There is still some time. Would you like to sit in my office for a while?"

Chen Tong nodded, he did have a lot of questions he wanted to ask Liu Rongdong, but he had to find a relatively private environment.

The two came to Liu Qidong's office, and Chen Tongcai discovered that Liu Qidong's title on Taobao turned out to be the general manager.

Entering the office, Chen Tong couldn't help but ask him, "Yongdong, why did you cooperate with Muye Technology?"

Liu Rongdong scratched his head and smiled: "Senior brother, to tell you the truth, brother, I am hugging my thighs."

After speaking, Liu Qidong asked him, "Do you know the founder of Muye Technology?"

Chen Tong nodded: "I know, Li Mu, the guy who founded 3321."

"That's right." Liu Yingdong said, "Li Mu is still studying at our National People's University, not a sophomore. I met him at the end of last year, and inspired and stimulated by him, I felt that selling opto-magnetism in Zhongguancun was too hopeless. , so I was going to try to find some projects on the Internet to work on. Li Mu found me and said that he was willing to cooperate with me to do something. You said, I have no money and no experience. People are willing to cooperate with me. I am not quite Did you get hit by a pie that fell from the sky?"

After Chen Tong heard this, he nodded again and again, and Li Mu took the initiative to find Liu Rongdong to cooperate. For Liu Rongdong, it was not just a pie that fell from the sky, but a gold ingot that fell from the sky.

The strength gap between Li Mu and Liu Qidong is still very large in this life, but the main difference is that the former is too strong. Li Mu is willing to cooperate with Liu Qidong, which is almost equivalent to Schumacher taking the initiative to find Lin Zhiying to form a team to play a copy of F1.

Liu Yongdong continued: "Li Mu said at the time that he wanted to do e-commerce, but I don't know anything about e-commerce. After making up for it all winter, I'm still a layman. To be honest, Li Mu is making decisions at the big level right now. Although I am a general manager, I am still actively learning and improving myself."

Chen Tong asked curiously, "You partnered with Li Mu to build Taobao.com, how many shares did he give you?"

Liu Yongdong said frankly: "The investment ratio is 9:1, the share ratio is 8:2, and I account for 20%."

Chen Tongjing's eyes almost fell.

20%? What is this concept? Did Li Mu get kicked in the head by a donkey? Even if you want to recruit Liu Rongdong, you don't need to take out such a high percentage of shares, right? After all, Liu Rongdong was only a self-employed person in Zhongguancun before. Even if Li Mu was very optimistic about him, there was no need to do so.

It's not that Chen Tong looks down on Liu Yingdong, but he considers the problem based on the reality at hand. Liu Yingdong has not had the opportunity to show his strong strength. In terms of the objective judgment standard of the Internet, Liu Yingdong is definitely not worthy of Li Mu's giving so much. share ratio.

Looking at the share structure of Sina's core layer, Chen Tong's own share is so small that it can't even be calculated as a percentage, only how many shares can be used as a count mark, and there are strict restrictions on cash out, even almost harsh. Comparing his treatment with Liu Yingdong, it is like Lin Zhiying and Schumacher's driving skills. How can I compare it better? How can it be more embarrassing...
