Chapter 615 It Just Looks Beautiful

Generally speaking, the prerequisite for venture investors to enter an Internet company is to be able to control its controlling stake. Although generally they will not interfere too much in the operation of Internet companies, they will not get value for the money they invest. When expecting returns, they often make some actions that are not conducive to the future development of Internet companies.

For Internet companies from mainland China, American capital is basically unwilling to put in too much effort, because Internet stocks across the United States are now soaring. If you invest in any Internet company, you may get extremely generous profits. Returns, in contrast, if you want to invest money in mainland China that you don’t understand, and invest in this relatively backward mainland China market where the environment is not very suitable for developing network businesses in all aspects, investors will The confidence in my heart is not very strong.

From their point of view, it means investing a few million dollars to see what happens. If the situation is not good, they can just give up and there is no need to continue. They can still ignore the loss of several million dollars. Otherwise, if you say more, not many people will be willing to do it.

But for a big business like building a domestic portal website, investing millions of dollars can be said to have not even finished the warm-up exercise. How can we talk about sustainable development?

As for domestic portals, they are very eager to obtain venture capital, because the Chinese people have one of the biggest problems, which is that they need to rely on the affirmation of others to prove their achievements. Therefore, for many years, some people have been No one from mainland China is upset about winning the Nobel Prize.

In fact, most people are very clear that the achievements made by many domestic scientists in various aspects are very great, enough to wait for the Nobel Prize podium. However, due to some other factors, this wish has not been achieved. There is no way to achieve it. Although the person involved has no regrets about this matter, some people feel that the lack of recognition by the Nobel Prize means that our domestic academic level is still too low!

Fan Wubing feels that this idea is understandable. After all, the restoration of the Chinese people's national pride and self-confidence, which has been suppressed for hundreds of years, cannot be completed in a few years. On the one hand, he relies on the national The continuous development of the economy is also due to the cultivation of the education industry.

Once the country becomes strong, there will naturally be no market for this kind of admiration for foreign countries.

When Fan Wubing passed by these people, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. However, these returnees looked a little uncomfortable when they looked at Fan Wubing.

After all, there are a lot of rumors about Fan Wubing. Think about it. Fan Wubing came to the United States as a child and built a big business, and then returned to China to establish the Fan Investment Group, a comprehensive large-scale investment group. , and have established countless physical industries across the country, which have contributed to countless wealth, and people like myself have also returned from the United States, but they still need to rely on their own knowledge to constantly lobby others.

Asking others to provide money to support yourself, the gap is so huge, it makes people feel very disparate!

But most people think so. As long as their website is successful, they will immediately be able to get hundreds of millions of dollars in returns like America Online, Amazon, or other successful American Internet companies, overnight. Just stepping into the ranks of billionaires, there is no need to envy Fan Wubing's wealth.

But what troubles everyone the most is that Fan Wubing’s Fan Investment Group is also developing a portal website, and the scale and content are unprecedented, with a direct investment of 200 million for the initial development. The funds are staggering enough, not to mention that if Fan Wubing is willing to continue to build the largest portal website in the country regardless of the cost, the funds will really not be a problem.

Faced with such competitors, how should you win? Even if you can't win, you still have to occupy a place in your own unique field and get a space where you can survive, right?

Fan Wubing looked at these people's complicated eyes and could feel their psychological activities.

So Fan Wubing smiled and continued walking inside, arriving at his seat.

After a while, Boss Zhu and other important leaders came over. First, a leader from Shanghai made a presiding speech, and then Boss Zhu said a few words briefly, and the experts and bosses began to take turns.

The main topics this year still revolve around the Southeast Asian financial crisis, domestic stock markets, real estate construction, and the emerging and increasingly fierce Internet economy. In addition to the first three items, which are clichés, this year's much-hyped Internet economy has also begun to arouse everyone's attention. Notice.

Especially the issue of e-commerce, many large domestic companies have also paid enough attention to it, but everyone still doesn’t know much about what this e-commerce can do. Generally speaking, they think that since Americans can rely on There are countless funds in this circle, so if your company reaches this point, you will definitely be one step ahead of everyone.

Therefore, at this summit, many CEOs of large domestic companies began to talk about the great changes that the arrival of the Internet economy era will bring to the lives of Chinese people. After their companies got involved in e-commerce, they also What changes will it bring to the market?

After Fan Wubing listened for a while, he frowned slightly.

The impact of domestic companies moving closer to e-commerce is still in the preparatory stage. Many people dream of using e-commerce as a panacea to improve their company's performance, especially some companies related to the electronics industry. , for example, companies like L are even more eager to integrate e-commerce.

The myth that Wu Shihong went against the wind when he joined Company L was actually a "star" movement in this era of e-commerce being talked about all over the country. Due to the IT environment and various factors at that time, Wu Shihong was artificially covered by the outside world. The dazzling aura makes it difficult for people to see the real Wu Shihong clearly. What's even more frightening is that even Wu Shihong himself is intoxicated.

Objectively speaking, after Wu Shihong joined L, he indeed increased L's expansion into informatization. But this time she was born at the wrong time. It was during the Great Depression of the IT industry. When formulating L information industry strategy and product strategic planning, her character and ability flaws that had been ignored because she had always been smooth sailing were completely eliminated. exposed.

At that time, the entire home appliance industry was making exploratory attempts at how to transform the information industry. However, because of the psychological shadow of inferiority at that time, he had to be superior to others in everything, which made Wu Shihong, who was eager to be recognized, make the choice to devote all his efforts to one battle. He hoped to use several IT products to elevate the entire enterprise from a high position, so that information products could replace home appliance manufacturing. Becoming bsp; But she ignored that L is ultimately a company with traditional home appliance origins, and the home appliance industry is the lifeblood of L. Therefore, the strategic layout she formulated is a revolution rather than a reform to the original strategy, and it will inevitably involve The reorganization of interests is destined to be a sign of success for the information industry sector in the short term.

At that time, L's "Heaven, Earth, People" plan, which seemed beautiful, actually completely ignored the actual market demand and actual consumer choices, and was also completely divorced from the market demand and the development situation of the Internet at that time. Its prospects can be imagined.

When the annual financial report showed that the profit contribution of the information industry to the group's business was negative, for L, the dream of integrating e-commerce that he had been promoting was shattered at the same time.

In China, during this period of time, many companies have dreamed of resurrecting their companies by relying on e-commerce as a life-saving straw, but only a handful of them have succeeded. The main reason is that the time has not yet come, and domestic consumers have not yet Being able to adapt to this new thing and cultivate the market will take a long time.

Fan Wubing sat here pouting, and someone immediately noticed him, especially a senior counselor sitting next to Boss Zhu. He poked Boss Zhu's arm, tilted his lips at him, and signaled him to pay attention to Fan Wubing. Sick expression.

After Boss Zhu saw Fan Wubing's disapproving expression, he told Gao Shen, who was sitting next to him, to change seats with Fan Wubing so that he could exchange opinions with Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing sat down as he was told, and then started talking to Boss Zhu in a low voice.

"You don't seem to be very interested in this e-commerce?" Boss Zhu asked directly without saying any polite words.

"How should I put it?" Fan Wubing scratched his head and then said, "E-commerce is an inevitable trend in future development, but the current market cultivation work is still in its early stages. We want it to bear fruit now. , It’s a bit too hasty. Under such circumstances, the idea of ​​making money through e-commerce is obviously not feasible.”

Boss Zhu touched his chin, thought about it thoughtfully, and then asked, "But this is very popular in the United States."

"The United States has its own national conditions, and we have our own national conditions. Nowadays, the entire media is full of overseas returnees trying to deceive people, which will naturally make many people feel lost. Speaking of which, this is just a reflection of most people's mentality of getting rich overnight. Fan Wubing said to Boss Zhu, "At least at this stage, e-commerce just looks beautiful."
