Chapter 1277: One Month
Ma Yun created Taobao.com earlier than in his previous life. There is a reason for Feng Yu's suggestion, and another main reason is that Huaxia already has a large C2C network company at this time. If it is too late, it will make the other party develop and fall into the dilemma of catching up.
This C2C network company, called eBay eBay, was founded by two Chinese who returned from Harvard, and was then invested by eBay.
Last month, eBay just once again spent a large sum of money to acquire most of the stocks in the hands of the two founders of eBay and eBay, thus becoming the controlling shareholder.
In addition to the two founders retaining a small amount of shares, the other shareholder is Xinlang. As early as the millennium, Xinlang formed a strategic alliance with eBay. To put it bluntly, it is mutual promotion and mutual promotion.
But Wang Zhixi is very smart. He invested in eBay, but rejected eBay's proposal to exchange shares. He doesn't want his shares in Xinlang to be diluted any more, this will be his most important career in the future.
When eBay fully controlled eBay and eBay, Ma Yun was worried that the market would be occupied, so he quickly developed his own C2C online shopping mall.
Of course, Ma Yun firmly believes that with their better service, promise of free registration, and the company's financial strength, it will definitely surpass eBay eBay.
He also knew that the controlling party of eBay, eBay, was Feng Yu's good friend Kirilenko.
When eBay acquired eBay, Feng Yu didn't know about it, but even if he knew, he wouldn't stop it. One is that this is Kirilenko's business after all, so there is no need to grab it. Another one, Feng Yu also firmly believes that the model of digging treasures is the one that can have the last laugh. The model of eBay and eBay is too general.
Their fees are not low now, and the main payment software is Beibao. Of course, it is also equipped with a payment package, and Beibao is also charged.
Moreover, the main businesses of the two parties do not actually conflict. eBay and eBay focus on auctions, while Taobao.com focuses on sales. But in the future, they will of course try all modes.
Now others dare not say which model is better. eBay and eBay have achieved success abroad, while the model of Taobao.com has not yet succeeded and is too expensive.
The most competitive advantage of eBay eBay is that they can connect with overseas eBay. In this way, users of eBay eBay can trade with overseas users. Ebay is overseas, but there are already more than one billion registered users.
In China, the number of registered users of eBay and eBay has exceeded 3 million, which is a number far ahead.
It is precisely because eBay eBay has a huge number of users,
Ma Yuncai made a promise to enter Taobao.com for free. Feng Yu even remembered that in his previous life, Taobao didn't start charging until after the Tianmao Mall appeared, and of course it was to clean up those who sold A goods.
Anyway, Taobao.com does not plan to charge by rent, unless you choose the business of Taobaowangpu, the cost of this business is not low, and ordinary shops are completely free.
...
"President Ma, you have the momentum to fight to the death." Wang Zhixi joked.
"Isn't it to deal with eBay and eBay, I can't tell you these things, Xinlang seems to be a shareholder of eBay and eBay, right?" Ma Yun said deliberately.
"Hahaha, how much money can we earn a year with that little share? Now that our salary is different, have we become a strategic alliance with you Alibaba?" Wang Zhixi said indifferently.
At the beginning, it was just to give Xinlang more income channels, but I didn't expect that eBay and eBay could really develop. If he agreed to eBay's acquisition conditions last month, he could still make a lot of money.
But after thinking about it, he still kept the shares. At least he felt that eBay and eBay would be very successful if they could trade with overseas users.
"Mr. Ma, you are planning to burn money for three years. Are you really not charging any money?" Ding Lei asked curiously.
"A deposit is still required to prevent them from cheating or anything. As for the rent, it is really not charged. But in the future, when they want to do advertising and promotion, when they choose value-added services such as prosperous shops, they will still have to charge, but I promise, Value for money."
Zong Qing first pointed at the horse luck and said with a smile: "Your action has given eBay and eBay a big blow. I think most of those self-employed individuals who want to do online e-commerce in the future will choose the platform of Taobao."
For self-employed individuals, the initial capital is generally not too large, otherwise they will open a store directly. On the other hand, Taobao.com only accepts a deposit, and you can apply for a refund if you don’t open the store. Ebay and eBay still have to charge rent, and the Baibao payment software they mainly promote is also charged, which is not good at all.
Taobao.com has lowered the entry barriers for those sellers, which is the biggest advantage.
"Actually, I don't think you need to compete. How about merging directly? Isn't the major shareholder of eBay the Russian billionaire? He doesn't have a good relationship with Mr. Feng, and they jointly developed the payment package." right?" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.
"Merger? After the merger, who is the master and who is the deputy? In terms of assets, eBay must be stronger, but our Alibaba group has more potential than eBay and eBay." Ma Yun insisted.
"Potential? They now have more than three million users, and they are still growing rapidly. Your users are still zero. Besides, their website has already been built and put into use, and your website has just been completed. , is it still in the trial run stage?"
"The other one is that you have no users at all. When a new store opens, no matter how good you say it is, it is useless if no customers come. You have advantages in attracting online stores, but in terms of attracting consumers, you must be better than eBay eBay. Okay?" Ma Huateng asked.
"We have also considered this aspect, so we invite you to come here. Everyone has become a strategic partner with our Alibaba Group, so the promotion of Taobao.com depends on you. I believe that with your help, we will be able to collect treasure. The Internet will definitely develop faster.”
"And we are developing an instant messaging software, which will be installed on our webpage and initially named Aliwangwang, so that the communication between buyers and sellers will be more convenient and faster, and it will also allow sellers to provide better services to buyers."
Hearing Ma Yun's words, Ma Huateng frowned: "Why, can't Ali Baba use our OQ?"
Ding Lei also said beside him: "Or use our bubbles."
Ma Yun smiled and shook his head: "You two, there is no need to say more. We want to keep the chat content of customers confidential, so it is best to develop it ourselves. Ours is not for making friends and chatting, but purely for business communication. , so there is not much competition with your products, and those who use our products can also use your products."
"Mr. Ma, if you are so confident, how long will it take for the registered users of Taobao.com to surpass eBay and eBay?" Ding Lei asked with a smile.
Ma Yun showed strong confidence: "One month is enough!"
