Chapter 574: I'm the Lord
There are many things that are true, but when you think about it, they are very wrong.
For example, Wen Xiaoguang should be more innovative and not so stable.
Some people think it's right, but Wen Xiaoguang himself doesn't think it's right.
In fact, it is natural for this situation to occur, because 2012 was the time when the concept was just beginning to become popular, from group buying to takeout, an app connecting online and offline has already made some people taste the sweetness.
At this time, when it comes to braking, there must be some objections. There are still many people waiting to taste the sweetness.
So this didn't surprise Wen Xiaoguang, he just kept smiling, no matter what the man said, I didn't move. Sitting in his place, there are too many voices to hear, and there are many smart people who say black as white and white as black, all of which make sense, so being able to be firm in yourself without being guided by those voices is actually a very powerful ability.
Mr. Liu summarized the speeches of others, and then talked to Wen Xiaoguang: "Mr. Wen, you also heard the point just now that O2O can improve efficiency, online orders give users convenience, give merchants more opportunities, a platform with tens of millions of users, in corporate language, this is also called reducing the cost of information exchange and transaction costs, what do you think?"
Wen Xiaoguang didn't have a new expression, nor was he provoked by other people's criticism, there was no need, and so many people looked at it, he just replied: "These advantages do exist." But it's not really new to me, because I've heard all kinds of people say it countless times before. ”
Wow, that's what I said.
Now the other party smiled politely.
People also heard that there was indeed a hint of-for-tat in the faint sense.
"So you ask me what I think, and I think there's nothing to change from what I said before, just a little addition. He lowered the speed of his speech, "I am not completely against the O2O model, in general I still support it, but I support it cautiously, my purpose is not to discourage entrepreneurial passion, but to hope that capital will calm down." From a societal point of view, it must improve efficiency, and rightly so. I don't recommend being overly bullish on ......"
“...... The reason is here, now everyone is looking for opportunities, there are thousands of companies in the same subdivision are doing, but once there are two or more platform companies in each field, because the content of the service is the same, then what methods will be used to attract merchants to enter and users to download?"
"It's simple, subsidies. As a result, the two competitors will neither dare to increase the commission nor stop the user subsidy, otherwise the rival company will steal everything. So what I think in my mind is now: first, only a few subdivisions will give birth to relatively large companies, and most of them have no way out; second, companies in the same field will fall into a money-burning war to subsidize users and engage in vicious competition; third, when one party can't support it, it will either shake hands and merge, or sell to big financiers, such as big companies like Ahri. Fourth, even if a surviving company is doing so, it is very difficult to make a profit on its books. All these difficulties were overcome, and that family could survive. ”
Although this prophecy that is not a prophecy can be logically distinguished, just as Wen Xiaoguang will not be easily fooled by others, other successful people will not abandon O2O as if they were to follow his remarks.
In fact, as long as it doesn't happen, no matter what you say, there will be controversy.
What he said today naturally caused controversy.
Although he hasn't seen it yet, there must be various opinions on the Internet.
Wen Xiaoguang is not in a hurry, maybe this kind of remarks will heat up more in the future with the heat of this industry, and even the prime minister mentioned this thing in 2015.
But in 2016, what he said will come true, the merger in the online car-hailing field has appeared, subsidies in the food delivery field are inevitable, and the huge losses of companies such as Meituan and Didi cannot be changed by a few awesome people.
Of course, as a businessman, it is not far-sighted enough to simply look at losses, the Internet represents the future, and many capitals even threaten to lose some money, it doesn't matter, the future must have a future!
Businesses are also losing money while valuing tens of billions of dollars.
However, those who pat their chests and say that it doesn't matter still hope in the end: the future must have a future.
There are even people who analyze that the future Internet is based on mobile phones, and each mobile phone has a life circle with the owner, so the concept of service based on geographical location has been sought after.
The technical term is LBS, which stands for Location Based Services.
That's what Meituan is trying.
......
......
Those controversies don't affect anything, the biggest impact is how you guide your company as a leader.
Just like Ma Huateng and Li Yanhong publicly said that cloud computing is useless and does not affect others, but their own companies are a little uncomfortable after a few years.
Wen Xiaoguang is sure that what kind of path Weituo wants to take, this is enough.
The people who caused the controversy didn't feel anything, and the people who ate melons had already quarreled.
Not long after he left Wuhan, all kinds of articles have come out on the Internet.
There are critics, there are supporters, and there are people on both sides who don't rely on saying nonsense that is right left and right.
The bells and whistles of the article, as well as the so-called media that stayed out of the matter, wrote that no matter what the incident itself was, it would seem reckless and rash to draw conclusions with such a stubborn attitude.
Wen Xiaoguang doesn't know what stubbornness is, and it's not unassertive to easily change his opinion.
Regardless of these, I went back to Beijin to get busy with work.
The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is approaching, and WeChat, as an important platform for information dissemination, must first start self-examination.
A company still has to follow the direction of national development in order not to have a major event.
This, sloppy.
And the controversy in Wuhan was not mentioned until two months later by Ma's father, who dared to brag about anything, and he talked about it in his public speech, and he also meant that O2O was a false proposition, which coincided with Wen Xiaoguang on this point.
However, this is not important, what matters is the B round of financing of Weituo itself, as well as the arrangement of where the funds go.
When you get a lot of money, you have to spend it more reasonably.
Once you make a mistake, the price is extremely heavy.
Under the chairmanship of Wen Xiaoguang, Weituo has been discussing this aspect.
What he means is to invest at least 8-10 billion yuan in the field of cloud computing and big data, and it will be invested year after year.
However, it is not so easy.
Because the concept of cloud computing is relatively complex, some people don't even understand it, but everyone can understand it at that cost.
Although Wen Xiaoguang can force it, he has this power, but when the people below don't trust you, it will always be half the effort, and the key to this lies in Chen Bei and Zhang Yiyi, who is working with him.
"According to Zhang Yiyi's suggestion, I agreed to set up a relatively independent business department, named X, with a capital X. Sitting in front of Wen Xiaoguang was Chen Bei.
"I got the suggestion, I just want to ask if your product can be launched as scheduled. I'm going to prove the potential of computing and data with this data mining-based product, it's been 2012, and we can't put it off any longer. ”
Chen Bei assured, "We will definitely be able to complete the development before June 30th, the question is, do you really want to bet heavily on this place?"
Wen Xiaoguang is naturally very sure, "WeChat's changes will not be too big, and the required promotion costs will be greatly reduced, although the cost of paying for the server will be more expensive after the expansion of the user scale, but it will not be as much money as the B round of financing, so in a sense, one of the main purposes of obtaining funds this time is to deploy in this direction." ”
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Fu Youxuan to make a big move. Without a strong enough technical foundation and the digitization of every user on the Internet, this Internet-based bank will not be able to do so.
