Dare to ask Professor Wang, what are the new research results recently? ”

As he spoke, Tang Zifeng stepped forward, dragged Wang Zijie up from the office swivel chair, sat down by himself, and then skillfully picked up the mouse, clicked on a browser on the computer, watched the Internet news, and asked at the same time.

Wang Zijie pointed to the screen and said, "This is what I studied recently!"

"This?" Tang Zifeng just opened a piece of news, and when he heard Wang Zijie's words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "The celebrity was caught and raped by the main house for cheating...... , how can you be a dignified economics professor to study such a vulgar thing!"

"You're vulgar! You've been vulgar since you were a child!" Wang Zijie was furious, "Who told you the content of the news, I mean, I recently studied the Internet economy. ”

Tang Zifeng turned his head, looked at Wang Zijie with a mixture of surprise and appreciation, and said, "Internet economy?

"What do you know!" Wang Zijie walked away from the desk, came to the edge of the sofa, sat down and said leisurely: "Do you know, the 21st century is the information century, and the most promising industry is the Internet. What kind of machine tool you are engaged in, it is a sunset industry, and it won't last for a few days. Let me tell you, you better stop being the executive deputy as soon as possible, come back and pick up the company, let's go to the Internet. ”

Tang Zifeng smiled: "It doesn't matter if I don't want to be the executive deputy or not, doesn't Professor Wang want to be a professor either?"

"Why?" Wang Zijie said, "On the Internet, content is king. Without me, a professor, writing articles for you, what are you going to fool netizens?"

"So, are you planning to set up an academic website?" Tang Zifeng asked.

"Not really. Wang Zijie's tone softened a little, and he said: "Old eight, I'm not joking with you, I really think the Internet is a bit of a mess." At present, the domestic Internet has just started, and you may not see the prospects of this industry yet, let me tell you......"

"Don't, you don't need to popularize science. Tang Zifeng couldn't laugh or cry, a turtle in 1998, and his future of the Internet with a traverser who came over in the 5G era, this is really ridiculous.

"Old Seven, just say, what are you going to do? Now the most popular thing in China is to make a web portal, don't you want to set up one? Tang Zifeng said with a smile.

Wang Zijie said: "I have analyzed this problem, the portal is indeed a good direction, I have seen a prediction, when it comes to 2000, the income of information services on the Internet will reach 32 billion US dollars, and then it will double every two years." Now Yahoo, Excite, Netscape, and Lycos are not sparing a lot of money to grab this market, and the domestic China Bit, Oriental Netscape, Yinghaiwei, and China Big Yellow Pages are also squeezing into this door, and I heard that the valuation of our domestic websites has reached hundreds of millions of dollars.

"But, you're right, these websites have all received foreign venture capital, and now they are burning money like crazy, and the advertisements are overwhelming, and I feel sorry for them. I asked my students to calculate the accounts for them, and there are a few of the most popular websites, and the advertising fee burned in a month is five or six million, and our money is not enough to burn for half a year. ”

"That's it. Tang Zifeng said, "In the final analysis, these people are playing a capital game, relying on burning money to attract venture capital, getting venture capital, and then burning to attract more venture capital." When the capital chain can't keep up, when will it be yellow. We're in business, don't mess around with these karate players. ”

Tang Zifeng in the previous life did not experience the Internet boom in China at the end of the 90s, but he knew that by 2020, the best Internet companies in China were not the ones that were in the limelight at the end of the 90s. The early Internet business model proved to be unsustainable in the new century, but BAT came from behind and made a difference.

It is precisely because of this that Tang Zifeng has not paid much attention to the current Internet, but unexpectedly, Wang Zijie has set his sights on this emerging industry.

"It's too much money to do a portal. You say, how about we make an e-commerce website?" asked Wang Zijie.

"E-commerce sites...... Tang Zifeng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's a bit early, and it will take a few more years to do it." ”

"Why?" Wang Zijie asked.

Tang Zifeng said: "It's very simple, e-commerce mainly relies on two aspects, one is payment, the other is logistics, as long as these two problems are solved, e-commerce can develop." In terms of logistics, the current postal service can also be used, but the speed of the postal service is too slow, especially the delivery of parcels, it is not strange that it drags on for ten days and half a month, how can customers afford it? As for payment, the problem is also very big, foreign online payment is with the help of credit cards, our domestic credit cards are not popular, and we have to wait until ...... That's what to do. ”

When he said the last sentence, he almost didn't say the name of a certain treasure, and the words came to his mouth with a sudden purr, which was vague. Wang Zijie has been with Tang Zifeng for a long time, and he is used to making up for what Tang Zifeng said, so he will not care about being swallowed by Tang Zifeng. He praised: "Yes, eighth, your understanding of e-commerce is deeper than that of most professors in our school." I also pondered for a long time before I figured out these two questions, and you actually said them all at once. ”

"Meat eaters despise, what do those professors know?" Tang Zifeng unceremoniously belittled the professors, and then said: "Since you understand this, what kind of e-commerce are you in a hurry to do now, can't you do it in a few years?"

Wang Zijie said: "I was actually inspired by my father. He is now in charge of the company's sales, and some schools in Beijing want to buy our books, and I said to find the post office to send them, and he said that it would be better for him to drive a car to send them. Now he takes 3 people to be responsible for delivering books to various schools in the capital, because he delivers them in a timely manner, so many schools entrust us to help purchase teaching materials, and as a result, he now has more time to send other teaching materials than to send our own books. ”

"I'm going to, Uncle Wang, I'm planning to set up a courier company. Tang Zifeng laughed.

In fact, Wang Zijie's father Wang Chongshou sent books to various schools, Tang Zifeng also heard his father Tang Lin talk about it, but he didn't know it.

Feihai's previous main product was the "Five-Three" for senior high school candidates, and later developed some other teaching and auxiliary materials for students of other grades on this basis, which is specially designed to serve the market of primary and secondary schools.

Feihai's books are sold nationwide, and some of the sales in other places are sold directly by the company, and more are sold through the channels of Xinhua Bookstore, and in Beijing, it is completely direct sales, that is, all primary and secondary schools directly order from Feihai Company, and then the company ships goods to these schools.

The company's delivery method is to pick up the goods from the school, and the other is to send them through the post office. For the former method, many schools say that it is too troublesome, and for the latter method, there is the problem of untimely delivery by the post office, and there have even been cases of the post office losing the package.

Seeing this situation, Wang Chongshou proposed to drive himself to deliver goods to various schools. He originally learned to drive a tractor when he was farming in his hometown, and after arriving in the capital, under the instigation of Tang Zifeng, he went to take a driver's license with Tang Lin, and bought a Jetta each, and drove to and from work every day.

People who have just learned to drive have a heavy car addiction, and they can't wait for something to do with their car. Wang Chongshou proposed this plan, not so much to solve the difficulties for the company, but to find a reasonable excuse to go to the car addiction.

In this way, Wang Chongshou took 3 people and became the company's delivery man. The schools called to place orders, and Wang Chongshou would drive the goods over. At the fastest time, less than an hour after putting down the phone, the book has been delivered, which is a surprise to the customer.

After discovering the advantages of Feihai's timely delivery, some schools tried to ask if they could help them go to the bookstore in the book city to buy some other teaching aids. After all, the largest book city in the capital is on Haidian Street, and some schools in the east and south are more troublesome to run to Haidian.

Of course, Feihai will not refuse such a request, because this kind of effort helps to strengthen the customer relationship. After coming and going, Feihai Company has become a professional purchasing agent for many schools, and Wang Chongshou's logistics business has also made a lot of fame.

After Wang Zijie introduced these background situations to Tang Zifeng, he said: "Listen to my father, the matter of purchasing books on behalf of others is actually profitable. The bookstore has a large discount for wholesale, and the majority of these discounts must be reserved for the school, but if we deduct a small amount, such as 10%, the school will agree, after all, we have also paid for the labor. A 10% discount may not seem like much, but it can be very significant if it is done on a larger scale.

"In addition, some schools don't know what new teaching materials are available in the book city, and sometimes my dad will take some samples from the bookstore and show them which books they like, and then ask my dad to come back and buy them. I figured that this kind of thing would be best done through the Internet, where we could take pictures of the books in the bookstore and put them online for the schools to choose from.

"If they like it, we will help them buy it, and then send it to them, payment and the like will not be a problem, and the logistics problem will be solved. Do you think this counts as e-commerce?"

"This is really a good idea!" Tang Zifeng's eyes lit up, isn't this the business model that Brother Qiang did in later generations? Build a logistics system by yourself and speed up the delivery speed, and this alone can leave all the e-commerce websites that are budding in China behind.
