Chapter Nine Hundred and Eighty First Wings Gradually Plump

As soon as Li Dong returned to the company, Bai Su greeted him.

Just as he was about to speak out, Li Dong said, "Let Mr. Liu come to the office!"

Seeing this, Bai Su didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly nodded and went down to inform Liu Hong.

Seeing this, Shen Qian said, "Don't get angry when you come back..."

"Know."

"Then I'll go first, there is still something waiting for me to deal with at the foundation."

"Well, you go first and have dinner together tonight."

...

Less than 5 minutes after Shen Qian left, Liu Hong hurried over.

Just when he was about to speak, Li Dong said, "Sit down first, how is the recent situation of Yuanfang Technology?"

Liu Hong found a place to sit down, and quickly reported: "Everything is going well, Weibo recently launched a few small activities, the effect is not bad, the number of registered people is approaching the 150 million mark.

In addition, the English version is almost ready, and we are preparing to launch in the North American market in October.

Recently, we have developed a series of emoticons for PP, which enriched the content of the space and added personalized decoration...

There is also the game, DNF has achieved excellent results on the line, several other games are in internal testing, and the farm has also been updated...

On the side of the video site... on the side of the browser..."

Liu Hong briefly explained the situation, and half an hour had passed.

Whether Li Dongguang listened to it or not, he waited until the end and said, "Where is the mall?"

"This side of the mall..." Liu Hong paused, thought for a moment before saying: "Overall, it's not bad, Mr. Tan is worthy of being the founder of eBay and the veteran of the e-commerce industry.

During the transition period, instead of decreasing, the turnover of the mall has increased day by day.

Especially this time, after reaching an agreement with many partners, I think the mall will have a period of rapid development. "

Li Dong glanced at him, wondering if these words were his true words.

But judging by his expression, it was obvious that he was serious.

Li Dong frowned and said: "But the mall's performance has declined sharply in the past few months. In five months, even with Wanjia.com, the revenue is only 23 billion.

And Taobao has reached 34 billion. "

Now Liu Hong finally understood what Li Dong meant, and said a little bit dumbfounded: "Mr. Li, we must be far behind in this comparison.

However, performance cannot be compared to revenue alone. Taobao’s C2C accounts for a large proportion. It is not a merchant, but the joint performance of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of merchants.

We are different. Most of our performance belongs to the self-operated business of our mall.

The self-operated business of the mall, plus Wanjia.com, has a revenue of nearly 18 billion, which is less than half a year.

Including June, it will probably exceed 22 billion.

In the whole year, the revenue is close to 50 billion. In this aspect alone, our profit can reach more than 2 billion.

As for Taobao, its C2C is actually not profitable, and it can probably maintain a balance of payments.

And their B2C mall, Tmall Mall, may have a revenue of about 5 billion yuan and a net profit of about 200 million yuan in the whole year.

The two sides are not comparable. The purpose of Taobao is to expand the market first and then make profits.

They could do without us.

But now that we have competition from afar, it is not so difficult for him to expand the market just by relying on more people.

So the C2C business has actually become a tasteless piece of cake for Taobao..."

Li Dong interrupted: "No, what you said about expanding the market, C2C still has advantages, at least we can't compare in terms of price."

Liu Hong nodded and said, "That's right, but since the crackdown on counterfeiting last year, the reputation of their individual merchants is relatively poor.

As the economy develops, I don't think their business will decline sharply in a few years.

And to seize the market, sometimes it's not just about low prices.

Their logistics is not good, the merchants have different attitudes, and it is difficult to defend their rights. If there is no comparison, it’s nothing, and everyone doesn’t care.

But now we compare, that is an intolerable mistake.

As for our mall, since the merger of Wanjia.com, we have further explored and experimented with the O2O model. Although the effect is not obvious at present, what we have accumulated is word of mouth.

Mr. Li, we don't have to be in a hurry to surpass each other in terms of revenue..."

Originally Li Dong was going to get angry, but after Liu Hong said a few words, Li Dong somewhat agreed with him.

Looking at this guy again, Liu Hong has experienced a lot in the past few years, and it seems that he has indeed grown up.

On the contrary, I was a little too anxious.

In terms of total revenue alone, Yuanfang Mall is indeed inferior to Taobao. In terms of profitability, word of mouth, the laying of logistics channels, and after-sales service, Yuanfang Mall is actually better than Taobao.

It's not that Yuanfang is really so good, the key is that Taobao's stalls are huge and there are many people.

The concept of tens of thousands of stores means tens of thousands of owners.

If Taobao wants to do something, it must first get rid of these individual merchants.

Whether it is to hold events, engage in after-sales, or even lay out logistics channels, it must be approved by these people.

Sometimes for an event, Yuan Fang will do what he says, and Taobao needs to prepare for a month or two.

It must be said that Ma Yun came up with the idea of ​​opening a store for free, which brought many benefits and opportunities to Taobao.

But now, the economy is gradually developing, and the demand of the masses has also become higher.

In the past, people didn't care whether the product was genuine or fake, and they didn't care how fast the delivery was, as long as it could be delivered.

However, wait for Yuanfang to make promises, strictly crack down on counterfeiting, speed up logistics, and provide after-sales services...

A comparison, yes, there is a skewed bias in consumer psychology.

Unlike the rise of JD.com a few years later, there were still some twists and turns. After all, Taobao had become popular at that time, and Tmall Mall had also begun to grow.

At present, Tmall has not become big, and Taobao has not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After all, Yuanfang has been rising since 2006, and Taobao has only become popular since 2005.

It's only a year apart, and there are physical stores in the distance to help expand their reputation. It's not so mysterious to say how big the difference in popularity is between the two.

The brand failed to gain popularity, but was ambushed several times by Yuanfang. Although Taobao's performance at this time was similar to that of its previous life, its actual influence was not the same.

In addition to performance, Yuanfang has not lost to the other party.

Thinking of this, Li Dong said: "Anyway, it is a fact that their revenue is more than ours, you should pay more attention to this matter.

The gap of more than 10 billion is a weakness after all.

Others don't care how you calculate it. If Taobao grasps this point, it will be able to overshadow us in name.

Taking advantage of 7.18 is coming, this time we have to prepare for a turnaround.

Our suppliers will strongly support us this time. After all, they have also been troubled by counterfeit goods on Taobao, and they have long wanted to teach them a lesson.

The opportunity is rare, you have to learn to seize it.

In short, this year I won't force you to surpass them in terms of revenue, but the difference can't be too big! "

Liu Hong said solemnly: "I understand, Mr. Li, don't worry, we will plan well this time, and we will definitely not let you down."

"Well, this is the best way. By the way, the Olympic Games are about to start, and we have obtained the right to broadcast on the Internet anyway, and we can serve snacks. Although the video business is posting money now, it will make money sooner or later.

Don't be reluctant just because you spend a lot of money.

Equipment, network, including web pages, all give me the best, we are not short of money! "

Liu Hong laughed dryly, my lord, you say this every day, but we are really short of money.

The mall is making profits, but the investment is also huge.

With such a small profit, it will not bubble up if you put it in.

Especially with such a money eater as logistics, even the supermarket has to subsidize a large amount of money every month.

In this way, it is still stretched, which is the result of saving and saving.

Fearing that Li Dong would not understand the situation, Liu Hong hesitated before saying, "Mr. Li, the progress of the IDC data center is slowing down now."

"No money?"

"Um."

Li Dong knocked on the table and said: "Tell me, how much money is needed now, so that you can do your best without affecting the expansion."

"At least 2 billion."

"Okay, I'll inject 2 billion into the mall later!"

"ah?"

Liu Hong looked surprised, is it real or not? You still have so much money?

Li Dong is like a boy of good fortune. Every time the group runs out of money, billions and billions are taken out, as if there is no bottom.

He just said 2 billion, that's what he said, he didn't expect Li Dong to really come up with it.

After all, the last time Li Dong even sold Baidu stock, he only raised 700 million yuan.

How long has it been, where did he get 2 billion?

Seeing his surprised face, Li Dong didn't say much, the money was actually withdrawn from the stock market.

The stock market has exited one after another, and the funds of 10 billion have now reached more than 2 billion.

The money first ensures the development of Yuanfang Technology. Others think that he has no money, and he has raised money twice, but the value given cannot satisfy Li Dong.

Li Dong has seen through the black hearts of these capital institutions now, and wants to make a lot of money from them, which is almost a dream.

That being the case, he is not in a hurry to raise funds, and wait until it is fully done.

Isn't it just money? He raised 2 billion from others. It's rare to be like the sky. He should pay for the head office himself.

Seeing that Liu Hong still couldn't believe it, Li Dong waved his hand and said, "I'll hold a board of directors to talk about this matter later, you can just do your own thing at ease, the money will not be short, don't think about helping me save money all day long .

In addition, Wanka will also offer snacks and launch mobile payment services as soon as possible.

Alipay has been launched. It seems that I have mentioned this to you a long time ago. I haven't confirmed it yet, and I don't know how you do it! "

It's not easy to get angry in the mall, and Li Dong finally found a chance to get angry on Wankatong.

As a big boss like myself, I can't be too talkative.

He was obviously pulling people to criticize him. How could he be so anticlimactic? He was persuaded by Liu Hong. Even the development funds were prepared, which is too cheap for this guy.

Alipay launched its mobile payment service at the end of February. Li Dong actually mentioned this last year.

But in the end, Alipay still took the lead, and now it's been a few months, and Li Dong's anger is not nothing to look for.

Speaking of this, Liu Hong also felt a little helpless: "President Li, it's not that we don't launch it, the main reason is that we didn't take as long as Alipay in the preparation stage.

During this time, Mr. Cao has been contacting banks and financial institutions to discuss strategic cooperation.

There are still too few financial institutions we cooperate with now, and even if we launch mobile payment services, there are still great limitations.

Mr. Cao's side means that after contacting more institutions, we can reach an agreement with public utilities to pay for water, electricity, coal, and communication, and then we can officially launch mobile payment services.

In this way, we also have our own characteristics, so that we will not imitate others, just like Alipay. "

Li Dong's eyes moved: "Alipay hasn't opened these services yet?"

"No."

"How did Cao Jinsheng talk?"

Cao Jinsheng is the president of the financial business group. He used to be an executive in a bank, but he was recruited by a high salary from afar.

Cao Jinsheng is very familiar with the financial system and has a wide network of contacts.

Liu Hongwen said with a smile: "It's not bad for the time being. Now we have negotiated with many banks and financial institutions. We will launch it together with the international version of Weibo by October at the latest."

"That's good."

Li Dong heaved a sigh of relief, but he held his breath in his heart again.

Your sister, you agreed to get angry, but you got hit again.

It turned out that other people considered it in more detail and in place than he did.

Li Dong suddenly realized that he had underestimated the group of people under his command. In the past few years, he was used to giving orders, and he was also used to the fact that everyone couldn't do without him. Without his orders, he couldn't do great things.

But now, Li Dong suddenly discovered that everyone was growing up.

For example, when Li Dong said something before, the subordinates only knew how to do it step by step, and had no other thoughts.

But now he said one thing, the people below know how to think about it, and they will think about how to do it better, develop the functions in more detail, and do things better.

In fact, this is a good thing, but Li Dong is still not used to it.

I am used to being a god, looking down on everything, and following me, this feeling is actually quite cool.

Sometimes Li Dong would cry tired and complain that the people below him are stupid and have no brains...

But complaints are complaints, the feeling that everything is under control is still one word - cool!

Now this situation of controlling everything has undergone a slight change. While Li Dong is relieved, he is also a little disappointed.

But he understood that this should be the normal rhythm.

Cultivating subordinates and cultivating talents is what he has been doing all the time.

A person's power is always limited.

And without the opportunity to be reborn, Li Dong is actually no better than others. In this case, he needs a group of reliable talents who can give full play to their strengths.

Now, everyone is working hard in this direction.

The feeling of awkwardness gradually subsided, and Li Dong let out a long breath, but in the end he didn't show his boss' willfulness, and waved to Liu Hong: "Go and work, you've done a good job, keep up the good work."

A smile appeared on Liu Hong's face, as if this was the first time he was praised by President Li.

In other words, it was the first time after taking over as the chairman of Yuanfang Technology.

Since Shen Qian's resignation, he took over the position of chairman. It can be said that he was trembling and under great pressure. He even lost a lot of hair.

Now, Mr. Li seems to have seen his contribution.

While Liu Hong was happy, he also said modestly: "All this is under the leadership of Mr. Li..."

"Stop doing this, hurry up, you don't need to flatter me!" Li Dong cursed with a smile, and waved away people.

Liu Hong didn't take it seriously, but became happier and left the office happily. 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
