Chapter 1560 Can't Sit Still
Lin'an, Alibaba Group headquarters.
Ma Yun has become more and more restless these days.
He was aware of the movement of Xiaoyao Mall, but before that, he never thought that the model of Amazon and Lotte would have such a big impact on his Taobao.com.
Because Taobao.com itself does not have any business activities, but provides a trading platform for everyone to do business on it. The operating methods and profit models of the two are different.
But with the tip of the iceberg exposed by various newspapers, Ma Yun felt more and more that this online b2c sales model, that is, the "company to consumer" model, is likely to snatch away the shares that Taobao.com did not notice. .
Ma Yun's natural sense of smell is keen. He thought of Gome and Suning, which knocked down the electrical department of the People's Mall in one fell swoop. , but I was attracted by them!
In the shopping world of Huaguo, the young people who have the strongest desire to shop are of course young people who are just fledgling. They are keen on all kinds of shopping. The cheaper, more dazzling, more convenient and faster shopping is the best for them. The most attractive, so most of them are soaked in Taobao, and with the financial crisis in the past few years, they have learned to plan and save more, and invested more purchase funds in Taobao.
But if we say that the one with the strongest shopping ability, that is, the one with the strongest economic strength, is naturally an individual with a family as the unit.
The home appliances, daily necessities, etc. they buy are the most stable and profitable places to buy.
Usually these people are not as demanding when buying things as young people. They have to shop around, and you will be involved for a long time if it costs a dollar; what they care about is the authenticity of the product and the convenience of delivery, installation and warranty after shopping. price or something. As long as it's cheaper than the big malls, it's fine.
For other high-value electronic products, people are more willing to trust physical stores. After all, if there is a problem, you can find someone. When you buy something online, you can only cry when something goes wrong.
For example, mobile phones. Through data monitoring, Ma Yun clearly knows that the number of people who buy mobile phones on Taobao.com is only one-tenth of all the people who buy mobile phones, and more than tens of millions of mobile phones are sold in thousands of physical stores every year. sales.
Calculated in this way, if the several mobile phones in Xiaoyao Mall are really as cheap as they advertised, the sales of millions of units will be casual.
How profitable are mobile phones. Everyone knows!
In addition to mobile phones, there are also various household appliances such as laptops, rice cookers, air conditioners, etc. Once they conquer this market, the dominance of b2c will be established! I heard that Xiaoyao Mall's first batch of purchases reached a sensational 50 billion yuan. How domineering is this? There is a boss who is the richest man in the world as a backer, so the confidence is really different! for a while. Ma Yun felt a little envious of Qin Yibin, and inevitably had the thought "it's not bad to have such a big shareholder" in his heart. After all, Ma Yun is a person with a very strong desire to control. After thinking about it this way, he returned to his own right path. Softbank Group has already transferred 30% of Alibaba shares to two major funds of Xiao Qi Holdings: Qicai Investment and Mingxiang Holdings, but this news is still kept secret. It is said that Xiao Qi will wait until an appropriate time to announce it. Sun Zhenyi could only cooperate with his thoughts. In other words, from now on, Xiao Qi is actually the largest private controlling shareholder of Alibaba. Because other people's money is all their own, but 40% of Yahoo's is the entire company. At this time, Ma Yun has found out the news that Xiao Qi once wanted to spend 10 billion US dollars to buy 40% of Alibaba's shares in Yahoo's hands, which made him a little creepy. Fortunately, Yang Zhiyuan was not as soft as Sun Zhenyi, who was forced by Xiao Qi to sell his shares. From this point of view, Director Yang is also a good guy, a real man! But thinking about it, maybe it was because Xiao Qi had run into a wall with Yang Zhiyuan that he changed his strategy and tricked Sun Zhenyi, who was even more stubborn than Yang Zhiyuan? Here is a second of silence for poor teacher Sun Zhenyi. In connection with the two acquisitions, Ma Yun's fear of Xiao Qi has reached the extreme. Ma Yun doesn't know why Xiao Qi is so optimistic about his Alibaba Group, but he himself is very optimistic about his Internet empire business, so he also thinks that Xiao Qi is interested in the business opportunities inside, and wants to take advantage of this. The group gathered into its own fairy line. However, how could Ma Yun be a person willing to be inferior to others? What he aspires to be the overlord in his life, and the overlord who can do things that others can't do, how can Xiao Qi control his actions? Although he is not as rich as Xiao Qi, Ma Yun's heart is no smaller than Xiao Qi's! After seeing the news that the contracted iPhone plane landed in Xiaoyao Mall, Ma Yun finally couldn't sit still, and asked someone to book a flight ticket from Lin'an to Rongcheng in two days. He was going to meet this legendary boy who was even more talented than himself! ... Coincidentally, Lianshu, another giant in Huaguo's communications field, can't sit still. When they chose the 3g network, they still chose the cdma network as in the previous life. Although Dentsu has chosen the cdma network, because the cdma network is the most popular and best-used network in the world, and it contains the intellectual property rights of Xiao Qi's holding company, this technology has already been obtained by the government through secret channels. The department controls it, so it is basically regarded as one of its own. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has also given the green light in this regard, allowing the two major operators to operate the same network. The biggest advantage of the cdma network lies in its strong signal transmission capability. This is a network that matches smartphones and is destined to shine in the era of smart electronics. It's a pity that apart from providing some 3g services for the dream pad, the 3g network of the entire Huaguolian is in a suspended state, and there is no chance to show its strength at all. The iphone is not considered to be a contract phone at all. The only Samsung s1 smartphone was snatched by Dentsu. Like Mobile Communications, they can only watch eagerly. Now Apple's iPhone actually appeared in Dentsu's mobile contract phone business, and it is said that Fairy Company's smart phone dream stars will also be Dentsu's contract phone. After urgent consultations, Gu Weikang, the president of Huaguo Lianshu, personally led a team to Rongcheng, vowing to reverse the unfavorable situation! (to be continued..)
