"Well, you think it's a good idea, don't you?"

Affirmed by Tang Zifeng, Wang Zijie suddenly felt full of joy. To say that he is now also a well-known young economist in the academic circle, he is rated as one of the "Little Four Masters of Beijing" by the market, and he is a guide on various occasions. But in front of Tang Zifeng, he just lacks self-confidence, and he has to listen to Tang Zifeng's opinion before speaking. If Tang Zifeng agreed, he felt that this matter was feasible, and if Tang Zifeng did not approve, he naturally gave up.

Regarding the matter of engaging in e-commerce, Wang Zijie pondered for a long time, and also made some arguments, and felt that it was a good idea. But when he talked about Tang Zifeng today, he was still a little apprehensive, for fear of being denied by Tang Zifeng. Now when he heard Tang Zifeng say that this was a good idea, he was immediately full of confidence, and his face finally had some self-confidence.

"Who am I, the youngest associate professor at Renmin University...... One of the projects I am optimistic about, can there be any mistakes?" Wang Zijie said proudly.

"Mm-hmm, you've been fooled once. Tang Zifeng said, "However, how do you know about e-commerce websites?"

"This ...... I really don't know. Wang Zijie said, after that, he looked at Tang Zifeng again, and asked, "You don't mean that you understand, do you?"

Tang Zifeng straightened his chest: "I understand a little." ”

Tang Zifeng said that he understands e-commerce, but he is not talking nonsense. As a time-traveler, he has a wealth of experience in online shopping and is quite familiar with the operation methods of various e-commerce websites. The business methods of these websites have been condensed after thousands of tempers, and they are used to guide the e-commerce operation in the embryonic period of the Internet, which can be described as a weight.

According to the model of various websites, combined with the current Internet situation, he began to give Wang Zijie advice, such as how to design the web page, how to manage members and orders, how to stipulate free shipping over 99 yuan, how to deal with returns and exchanges, etc.

Wang Zijie just listened at first, but after listening to it for a while, his face changed, and he hurriedly found a pen and paper, as if recording the teacher's lecture, and recorded what Tang Zifeng said one by one, and asked repeatedly about some things he didn't understand. Although he has never been in contact with e-commerce, as soon as he listens to what Tang Zifeng said, he knows that this is the secret of a thousand dollars, and any one of them can make the website have a strong competitiveness beyond its opponents.

After all, Tang Zifeng is talking about website management from the perspective of customers, and some places will inevitably have an element of imagination. In the face of Wang Zijie's questioning question, Tang Zifeng's answer also had many loopholes, but he had to scrutinize it with Wang Zijie. However, Tang Zifeng's performance also looks more real, if he really answers the same thing, Wang Zijie will have to wonder if he is a demon.

Well, in fact, Wang Zijie has long suspected that Tang Zifeng is a demon, and this speculation has given him a reasonable explanation for the knowledge gap between himself and Tang Zifeng, otherwise it would be really difficult for Professor Wang to raise his head in front of Tang Zifeng.

"I said eight, you have such a good idea, what are you doing in that Linyi machine, why don't you come back and host this website? My dad and your dad are a little unable to manage the company's business on a daily basis, and if they want to engage in e-commerce, it is better for me to design machine tools instead of your sister Xiao. ”

After remembering what Tang Zifeng said upside down, Wang Zijie took a long breath and said to Tang Zifeng.

Tang Zifeng said: "I just know some methods, if I really let me manage this website, I'm afraid it won't work." I thought about it for a while, on the website, I went to find Li Kejia and asked her to recommend me a person who understands the Internet to come over. There is also the business side, I asked Huang Liting if there was a suitable candidate, and when it came to selling things, there were more talents on Huang Liting's side. ”

Hearing Tang Zifeng talk about Li Kejia, Wang Zijie pursed his lips and said: "Eighth child, just because you are the executive vice president of Linyiji, you let the company withdraw all the shares of Xinjingwei." I heard Li Kejia say that several of their industrial design software are now selling well, and several foreign venture capital institutions want to inject capital into them, and it is said that the highest valuation has been calculated to more than 200 million. If we don't withdraw our shares, 40% of the shares are equivalent to 80 million. Think about it, a whole 80 million, your executive deputy official position, can be worth so much money?"

Tang Zifeng smiled faintly: "Old Seven, the money is endless." On the side of the new Jingwei, if it were not for the foundation of the Canglong Research Institute, it would not have been able to occupy such a large share of industrial design software so quickly. If I don't withdraw my shares, I can't help it, so the 80 million won't exist.

"In this day and age, there are many opportunities to make money. The e-commerce we just talked about, if it is done well, it is possible to achieve a market value of 100 billion in ten years, and at that time, will you still care about the equity of 80 million?"

Wang Zijie said disdainfully: "Old eight, you're blowing too hard, aren't you? Just a small platform like ours that helps people purchase teaching aids, can we estimate a market value of 100 billion?"

Tang Zifeng said: "Everything is possible. Zijie, let me tell you, this website, in the early stage, can only sell teaching aids, and then can help teachers in the school to buy other books, and then later, you can sell computer machines, accessories, peripherals, and the profit in this area is very high. ”

"So, I think you might as well come back, the industry with a market value of 1000 billion yuan is not as good as your Linyi machine?" Wang Zijie persuaded Tang Zifeng's words. He doesn't believe in such a big talk as 100 billion, but he feels that there is still hope for a market value of more than 10 or 2 billion. Even if it is more than ten or two billion, it seems to be an achievement against the sky at the moment, which is several times higher than the market value of Linyi Machine.

What's more, Linyi Machine is a national industry, and Tang Zifeng is just a senior worker. And if the e-commerce website they planned can be made, this will be the property privately owned by him and Tang Zifeng.

Tang Zifeng sighed and said, "This matter should be considered in the long run." Isn't there no shadow of the 100 billion yuan now? If e-commerce is to develop greatly, it will take five or six years, and I will see when the time comes. Maybe because I did a good job at that time, the mechanical department transferred me back and gave me a director or something, isn't it as beautiful as you as a second-rate professor?"

"Phew! I was already a first-class professor at that time. Wang Zijie spat a mouthful, and then said: "By the way, there is a news that you may not know yet, the Ministry of Machinery is about to be revoked, and your dream of being the director of the bureau is only afraid that it will not be possible." ”

Tang Zifeng was taken aback: "What, the Ministry of Machinery is going to be revoked, who did you listen to?"

"It's been decided a long time ago. Wang Zijie said, "The two sessions are about to be held, and institutional reform is the highlight of the two sessions." The country's institutional reform programme has been discussed several times, and it has been invited to participate in several seminars. The policy orientation of the state is very clear, that is, to separate the government from the enterprise. In addition to the Ministry of Machinery, the Ministry of Electronics, the Ministry of Metallurgy, and the Ministry of Chemical Industry must be abolished, and the government will not directly manage the industry in the future. ”

"I'm dizzy, how did I forget this big thing!" Tang Zifeng stroked his forehead with his hand.

The institutional reform of '98 is very vague in Tang Zifeng's memory. However, he remembered that in later generations, there was indeed no ministry of machinery, electronics and other ministries that directly managed the industry, and there was only one ministry of industry and information technology, which seemed to be in charge of the information industry more and less in charge of the industry. He couldn't remember when this change happened, but now that he heard Wang Zijie say it, he knew that it was already an imminent matter.

Recalling the rumors he heard when he went back to the Second Bureau to report on his work recently, he finally understood, it turned out that those cadres in the bureau had known about this matter for a long time, but they had not informed him yet.

"Lao Qi, if the Ministry of Machinery is abolished, what will we do with these enterprises, have you heard any rumors?" Tang Zifeng asked.

Wang Zijie said: "This issue is also the most talked about at several discussion meetings. The separation of government from enterprise is clearly required by the state, so you enterprises must be decoupled from the government. The first is to change the existing nature of ownership by the whole people to state ownership, with the state as the investor, and the State-owned Assets Management Bureau exercising the power of the investor, and the enterprise operating independently on this basis.

"The second is to decentralize to the local government, and the management method is the same as the first one, except that the investors become the state-owned assets management bureaus of the provinces and cities. As for the third type, it is to abandon the nature of sole state-owned enterprises, change the joint-stock system of operation, and attract foreign capital or private capital to become shareholders. Of course, this is not for all state-owned enterprises, but only for some state-owned enterprises to be converted into joint-stock systems.

At the meeting, there were also proposals that all state-owned enterprises should be sold, and the state would no longer control the enterprises in the future. This kind of opinion is very marketable in the academic world, but it is basically unacceptable on the part of the government. This is also understandable, officials always want to have more power in their hands. If all the state-owned enterprises are sold, no one will listen to the officials, so they will definitely not approve of this plan. ”

Tang Zifeng looked at Wang Zijie and asked, "So, what point of view do you support?"

Wang Zijie said: "I'm still hesitating. The idea of selling off all the state-owned enterprises is in line with the theory of the neoliberal school, which is now very popular internationally. If I support this view, I might win the Nobel Prize in Economics. ”

At the end, he laughed self-deprecatingly.

In fact, as a scholar majoring in planned economy, he is not in favor of the policy of selling off all state-owned enterprises. But what he told Tang Zifeng is also true, that is, if he wants to have a place in the international economic community, he needs to cater to the mainstream theory of the West, that is, to advocate a complete free market.

State-owned enterprises are subject to government intervention and are incompatible with the theory of the free market. Supporting the retention of state-owned enterprises means rejecting the theory of the free market, and at the same time means isolating oneself from the international academic community.

Nowadays, domestic academic research is based on Western evaluation, and the weight of a paper published in a foreign journal is equivalent to eight out of ten articles in China. If you want to publish a paper abroad, you must follow a foreign theoretical paradigm, and who cares if this paradigm can be in line with China's national conditions?
