Chapter 2956 The Performance of Rich and Powerful
Huangfucai is a very low-key person. Wechat Mall started various internal tests as early as August last year, but there were not many reports from the outside world.
It is not so difficult to build an online business website, because there are good templates at home and abroad, and people put their various pages and functions there. You just need to go and have a look, and then come back and write code.
As for avoiding the problem that the pages are exactly the same, it is not difficult, as long as some fine-tuning is done, no one can say anything.
Even physical objects can have the same appearance, and the network programming language is similar, then it is not worth mentioning at all, and not many people will die with others on this.
According to the information that has been fed back one after another, the various network programming languages of the WeChat Mall are not bad for the ease of use of buyers and sellers.
Because it is an online business exclusively for mobile phones, people who are used to shopping on computers are not used to it in many aspects. However, merchants do not have such worries, because they can still operate their stores with computers through dedicated servers. .
But people are now used to using mobile phones, and it is no problem to gradually get used to WeChat Mall.
For WeChat Mall, after solving the problem of the largest number of users and warehousing and transportation, they still have another important thing, that is, the problem of suppliers.
There is nothing wrong with self-operated WeChat supermarkets, just follow the model of Xiaoyao Mall, give priority to those companies with reputation, ability and strength, and then choose those small companies and small factories that are honest and reliable, and strictly control the quality so that the WeChat supermarket can succeed.
The rest is the final price comparison.
In terms of online B2C, the only competitor of WeChat Supermarket is Xiaoyao Mall, but this does not mean that it wants to compete with Xiaoyao Mall on prices.
It is definitely not a good way for anyone to fight a price war with Xiao Qi's companies, because in terms of burning money, there is currently no company that can compare with Fairy Company, which has more than 500 billion US dollars in cash.
Besides, there is no need for Wei.xin Mall to fight to the death with Xiaoyao Mall. The two companies are husband and wife. If they fight, wouldn't it be a joke?
Just like oil, wouldn't it be great if we all formulate a rule and monopolize together?
Even if the prices are similar, as long as WeChat Mall and Xiaoyao Mall provide differentiated services, such as service, transportation, after-sales, etc., which are better than other B2C or B2B2C, there is no reason to lose money.
To put it simply, if you are better than other competitors, you can have enough opportunities to grow gradually.
Xiaoyao Mall is already strong enough, but Huaguo and Asia are so big, with so many people, it can naturally accommodate another WeChat Mall.
It is a pity that in Europe and the United States, WeChat Mall is not yet ready for business. This is not only to test their operational capabilities and various cost pressures, but also to test their relationships in various countries.
Generally speaking, Huaguo companies operating in the B2C industry in Europe and the United States will encounter a lot of difficulties, and even many inexplicable targets.
In 2013, Ma Yun was famous enough, but many European and American guys just regarded him as a "overlord built on a 200 billion fake goods platform".
People in Europe and the United States like to generalize so much. In fact, more than 90% of Taobao.com and Tmall Mall are products produced by regular manufacturers, and those counterfeit and inferior products are only a small part, especially in Tianmao. After the opening of the cat mall, these things have been reduced even more, but people in Europe and the United States just set their inherent impressions on Taobao.com, as if it will never change.
Huangfucai doesn't like the United States very much. With Xiao Qi by her side, she just wants to live in China, including her Weibo and WeChat companies.
Therefore, from the very beginning of its establishment, WeChat Mall has clearly defined its own policy of operating within Asia.
This point, more than a dozen dedicated vice presidents, heard from CEO Chen Zhonghan at the first founding meeting, and everyone also remembered it in their hearts.
Chen Zhonghan was the vice president of the former WeChat company, and now he has been transferred to the CEO of the WeChat mall. He must have been promoted, but in fact he is also under great pressure.
Chen Zhonghan was in charge of the business operation of the previous WeChat company, including personal space, cute emoji packs and other value-added services. He did a good job at first, but now he is suddenly in charge of a WeChat mall with a scale of more than 50 billion yuan. , although I am very happy, but I am also worried that I will not be able to do well.
After all, he had some experience in the field of e-commerce before, but he was definitely not a professional.
In fact, he also knows why the proprietress appointed him as the CEO of WeChat Mall. This is especially important when you have a dozen VPs.
Huangfucai was not worried that others would not be convinced by Chen Zhonghan, because during the preparation period, a vice president hired by Xiaoyao Mall felt that Chen Zhonghan's ability was much worse than that of the previous boss Qin Yibin, so he didn't follow orders very much. As a result, Huangfu Cai fired him without even thinking about it, which frightened the rest of the people.
The proprietress can even fire the senior vice president hired by Xiaoyao Mall, she has such a temper!
Thinking about it, Xiao Qi is behind the proprietress. Even if they are all fired, Xiao Qi can still find a group of professional elites from Xiaoyao Mall and Taobao.com, and still be able to do a good job in WeChat Mall.
Thinking that the world was still turning as usual without him, this group of elites immediately tightened their tails and started working hard at work instead of thinking about how to fight for power.
What's more, Huangfu Cai also made it clear to them that as long as they do a good job, there is no problem with promotion and salary increase, everything depends on the performance.
These trembling people don't know that the high-level executive who was fired from Xiaoyao Mall turned around and went to Malaysia to preside over the preparations for the Malaysian branch. , and he just walked around here, and he didn't leave Xiaoyao Mall at all, so this is the general manager of the Malaysian branch.
Since the preparation will take more than a year, no one else knows his situation, and during this period of time, for WeChat Mall, it is already enough to stabilize its position and start to develop.
Chen Zhonghan was selected by Huangfu Cai to prepare the WeChat Mall, of course, not only because of his good temper and good at mediating interpersonal relationships, another outstanding characteristic of Chen Zhonghan is that he can unconditionally carry out Huangfu Cai's orders, and he is dedicated to this goal. Aspects to work hard, without the slightest discount.
Originally, the Wechat Mall didn't have much difficulty, as long as it didn't try to be unconventional, and honestly followed the path of Xiaoyao Mall and Taobaotian.Mao Mall, at least it was the third largest existence in Huaguo.
In the eyes of the outside world, WeChat Mall is not just the third.
First of all, it has a global user base of 1.5 billion, which is really too large. Huaguo alone has 500 million users, which is much more advantageous than when Xiaoyao Mall was first established.
Even though the WeChat mall has not said that it will develop the European and American markets, as long as there are so many WeChat users with user stickiness, it will be a matter of course to open a global WeChat mall in the future.
Then, with other people's successful experience, WeChat Mall can guarantee its own success by simply copying it. I believe that in their eyes, it is impossible to do stupid things that lead to self-destruction... Honest management can Success, why opportunistic?
Therefore, many large companies and investment funds are actually very interested in WeChat Mall.
As early as August, when the internal testing started, Green Pine Capital and Softbank Huaguo came to the door, hoping to each invest 10% of the shares in the WeChat mall with a valuation of 100 billion yuan.
Their handwriting is really big.
You know, the start-up capital of WeChat Mall is only 30 billion RMB, and it will be added to 50 billion RMB before the opening of the Spring Festival in 2011. They doubled the valuation in one breath, which is quite look good.
Moreover, they only bought shares in the WeChat mall and did not get involved in the WeChat company. They only wanted to send two directors to supervise the operation, and the requirements were not too high.
Huangfucai thought about it for a while, and then refused.
She is not afraid that others will control her, but she feels that firstly, she is not short of money, and secondly, why is the WeChat mall only worth 100 billion yuan?
You know, Xiaoyao Mall is now valued at more than 40 billion US dollars, 300 billion yuan!
Even if WeChat Mall is not as good as it, 200 billion RMB will be no problem in the future, right?
Besides, managing a company by myself is actually quite good, but it is really not worthwhile to be constrained after accepting other people's investment.
It was not only Green Pine Capital and Softbank Huaguo that Huang Fucai rejected.
There were several investment funds with a national name background, and then there were Goldman Sachs, Nomura Securities, Temasek Fund, etc., and she also refused.
Temasek’s highest asking price has exceeded the valuation of 170 billion yuan, and WeChat Mall still did not accept them, which made this group of people sigh.
Everyone can see how prosperous Xiaoyao Mall is now. As long as it has a good network throughout Asia, forming the integration of online commerce in Asia, the minimum valuation is more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. If it goes public , at least 200 billion US dollars.
If it wasn't for Xiao Qi's close attention to Xiaoyao Mall and the continuous supply of sufficient funds for expansion, Xiaoyao Mall would have been swallowed up by countless big investors.
Everyone is optimistic about the future development of Weixin Mall, because in addition to Weixin Supermarket, its circle of friends is also a circle of people, which is most suitable for buying and selling small things, so that more ordinary sellers can join in , to promote the development of WeChat Mall.
It's a pity that Huangfucai, like her man, is not short of money and doesn't like everyone's mutual help and mutual benefit. Such a company with a market value of at least 50 billion US dollars in the future just slipped away under the nose. I don't know how many People are very sad.
In fact, in online commerce, there are very few self-sufficient models like Xiaoyao Mall and WeChat Mall.
In the previous life, everyone was talking about why Ma Yun was so stupid. Softbank bought 30% of the shares for hundreds of millions of dollars. It would be nice to keep it for a while before selling it.
But these people don’t know that around 2003, few people were optimistic that Taobao.com could defeat the world’s largest giant EBAY. How much courage did it take for Softbank to buy their shares for only a few hundred million dollars?
And it is precisely because of these hundreds of millions of dollars that Ma Yun has been able to burn money on Taobao.com, and then cultivated the arrival of the era of online shopping.
It can be said that without Softbank's hundreds of millions of dollars, there would be no Alibaba Group in the future, so this money should be earned by the Softbank Group!
Jingxi is similar. If there is no round after round of financing, how can they burn money to the final success?
These are the normal steps of online business. Xiaoyao Mall and WeChat Mall can get tens of billions of companies from the beginning, that is called rich and powerful, and that is rare!
That's why Xiao Qi and Tang Mingxiang have the capital to reject other people's investment!
