Chapter 1330: E-Commerce: Part I
Looking at the copy of the contract sent by Dorothy Kiridale, Chen Geng breathed a sigh of relief: Yahoo, which had a market value of $128 billion at its peak, is mine now!
With his own sitting, Chen Geng believes that Yahoo will not make the mistakes it once made, and $128 billion will definitely not be Yahoo's peak market capitalization, 300 billion, 400 billion or even 500 billion...... Why is it impossible?
Looking at Chen Geng's happy appearance, Dorocey Kiridale was a little strange: "Boss, do you value this yaho very much?"
Chen Geng shook his head and said, "I don't value it very much, but I value it very much." ”
Seeing that Dorothy Kiridale was a little incomprehensible, Chen Geng thought for a while and asked, "What do you think is the future of Yaho?"
"This ......"
Dorothy Kiridale thought for a moment and said: "The Internet will inevitably become more and more popular, I think it won't be long before every computer in the world will be connected to the Internet, and every computer user has a search need, and from this point of view, the search engine will probably become something similar to a computer operating system, which is indispensable for users." ”
After listening to Dorothy Kiridale's analysis, Chen Geng wanted to applaud: being able to sit firmly in the position of CEO of a data research company, Dorocy Kiridale is indeed very capable. Thumbs up, Chen Geng praised: "You're right. ”
"But there's a question of how search companies can be profitable," said Doroucy Kiridale with a frown: "Search engines are big eaters of bandwidth and computer resources, and the more users who use search engines, the greater the demand for computing resources and bandwidth, and search companies can't survive without a stable way to make money, but so far, I haven't thought of any way to make search companies profitable." ”
Speaking of this, Dorothy Kiridale looked at Chen Geng and said: "If you can find a profit model, the future of the Internet search company is limitless, I don't think it is strange that Yaho will become a company with a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars in the future, but if you can't find a stable profit model......"
Shaking her head, Dorocy sighed and said, "Boss, what do you think will be the future search engine to rely on to make money?"
Looking at Dorothy Kilidale, Chen Geng smiled: "You...... Cunning cunning. ”
Dorothy Kiridale is indeed very cunning, although she can't think of what model search engines rely on to make money, it can't always rely on fees, right? After all, if you adopt the paid search model, there are so many search engines to choose from, why should users choose you? But if you don't pay, the sky-high cost of servers and bandwidth alone can crush the search service company.
In Dorothy Kiridale's view, Chen Geng must have a way to make the search service company profitable, otherwise he would not have been so determined to take Yaho under his command.
"I do have some ideas about the profit model of Internet search service companies," Chen Geng did not deny Dorothy Kiridale's speculation, "and I am sure that they can make money from these." ”
Dorothy Kiridale's eyes lit up: Sure enough, all this was planned by the boss.
"But there's no hurry for the time being," after a pause, Chen Geng said, "Dolucy, do you have any thoughts on online payment?"
"Online instant payment?" Dorothy Kiridale frowned, and then, her eyes lit up, "You mean ......"
Knocking on his head, Chen Geng said: "I have a lot of ideas in my head, and I am sure that these ideas are all feasible, such as online shopping, such as paying for your mobile phone through the Internet...... But all of these ideas have a premise, that is, they can make it easy for computer users to make instant payments online. ”
I'm sorry, PayPal; I'm sorry, eBay; I'm sorry, Amazon.
Dorothy Kiridale didn't speak, but her eyes were bright and scary when she looked at Chen Geng!
Although he knew that Chen Geng's vision had always been long-term, when he personally heard Chen Geng's reverie for the future, Dorothy Kiridaire was still shocked by Chen Geng's vision: Online shopping? Yes, if you can build a shopping website, doesn't it mean that a super-large shopping mall will be placed in front of Internet users all over the world?
And with the credit of the data research company, no one will doubt the credibility of this website, if combined with the online payment function......
Thinking of this layer, Dorothy Kiridale instantly got excited: "Boss, you are such a genius, the electronics of this online shopping site are amazing!"
After a pause, she continued: "And this online payment function, God, although I don't know how to do this thing yet, but as long as this thing is done, this is a subversive thing, I can't imagine how much it can do...... No, I'm going back now!"
Looking at the excited Dorothy Kiridale, Chen Geng asked, "What's the matter?"
"That's right, I'm intrigued," Dorothy Kiridale nodded without thinking, "The more I think about it, the more I think online payment and online shopping sites are a brilliant idea, maybe this thing ......"
"Don't call it 'this thing' or 'this thing'," Chen Geng said with a smile, "I think it's more appropriate to call it 'e-commerce'." ”
"E-commerce?" Dorothy Kiridale smacked her eyes, her eyes lit up again, and she nodded again and again: "That's right, sure enough, 'e-commerce' is the most suitable name...... Boss, if you have any other ideas, just tell me together. ”
Since Dorothy Kiridale is interested in this, Chen Geng does not hide it: "There are two ways to buy the kind of online shopping website just now, one is that we purchase things ourselves and sell them online, which is called B2C, from merchants to individuals;
Another is similar to a shopping mall, where we only provide a 'venue', formulate rules, manage the 'venue', and then recruit sellers to 'settle in', which is called C2C: person to person. ”
"B2C?C2C?" Dorothy Kiridale's eyes became brighter and brighter, she couldn't even control herself excitedly, and suddenly stepped forward and hugged Chen Geng tightly: "Boss, I'm really ...... There's nothing to say about your strategic vision, whether it's B2C or C2C, how did you come up with these things?"
Chen Geng smiled and didn't answer, but asked Dorothy Kiridale, "Dorothy, do you think we do B2C or C2C?"
"Whether it's B2C or C2C, we do it!" Dorothy Kiridale said without thinking: "With the strength, influence and credibility of our data research company, it would be a pity not to do B2C, but C2C can't give up, after all, there is only one Wal-Mart and one Carrefour in this world, but small stores are full of ......"
Speaking of this, Dorothy Kiridale suddenly smacked his lips: "Boss, in addition to B2C and C2C, should there be a B2B?"
