Chapter 677: Ten Billion Goal
Speaking of which, Lao Ma is still a little arrogant.
It can be seen from the last time WeChat Pay was rejected to open up Alibaba's payment channel.
That time, it was really Yu Wenfei who was a little inauthentic, and directly let his senior brother cut Alipay, which Alibaba had done himself, at the China Banking Regulatory Commission.
Lao Ma is not stupid, after inquiring, he roughly knew some information, it is said that a senior executive of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank reflected the situation at the meeting of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, standardized financial management, and standardized his Alipay.
But with the same business model, why can people pay on WeChat......
Therefore, when Taobao is connected to the online payment channel, China Merchants online banking can, and Pudong Development online banking is also OK, although Lao Ma doesn't want to let Pudong Development online banking access his company's payment channels, but he can't afford to offend, behind Pudong Development is a magic city.
However, Lao Ma is still a little grumpy, and he refused to pay WeChat payment!
At that time, after Yuwenfei received the news, he was still a little surprised, but he didn't take it to heart, because WeChat payment was not yet the time when it really made efforts.
............
"What, Mr. Fei wants to come to our Alibaba?"
Hangcheng, Ali Company, Lao Ma held his mobile phone with a surprised face.
It was Cai Congxin who called him directly.
"Yes, Mr. Fei is full of praise for Alibaba and Taobao, and he has long said that he will take a look and talk to you when he has the opportunity. This time, I happened to have something to cooperate with Taobao, so I planned to go over. Cai Congxin explained on the phone.
What he said is not an exaggeration, Yu Wenfei did say that in the domestic e-commerce industry, he is most optimistic about Taobao.
Moreover, Yuwenfei's Facebook series company has no intention of entering the e-commerce industry, and there is no competition.
Lao Ma's mind was in a hurry, and he was thinking about what Yu Wenfei would do to cooperate with him?
However, he did not hesitate, but agreed: "That's great! Who doesn't know the name of Mr. Fei, I have long wanted to visit and study on Facebook, but I didn't expect Mr. Fei to come to our Ali first, welcome." Please be sure to tell Mr. Fei and all the employees of Ali that he is welcome at any time!"
............
Yu Wenfei did not go to the headquarters of Ali in Hangzhou alone, in addition to his secretary Pei'er, he was accompanied by Shen Nanpeng, Cai Congxin and Xue Chunhe!
At the last board meeting, Yu Wenfei had already made a decision and appointed Shen Nanpeng to concurrently serve as the president of the newly established "Facebook Internet Financial Services Company".
For Shen Nanpeng, this is also a professional counterpart, he was originally from a financial background, and now he is also the vice president of finance of Facebook Holdings.
Handed over Facebook Mutual Finance to him, all shareholders are relieved.
This time I came to Ali to talk about the cooperation between Facebook Mutual Finance Company and Alibaba, and of course he, the president, will come along.
As for Cai Congxin, he is also an old man of Alibaba, this time he is "going back to his parents' home".
And with someone like him who knows both sides, there is room for maneuver when talking about things, and he won't be too nervous.
Xue Chunhe is the representative of SoftBank Capital in China, and he was originally a shareholder of both Alibaba and Facebook, and at the same time. Of course, this year, he has spent more time with the face spectrum. This is not difficult to understand, because SoftBank Capital has invested more money on Yu Wenfei.
In formal business activities, Yu Wenfei didn't drive his swaggering supercar anymore, and the distance from the magic capital to Hangzhou was not too close, and it was not suitable to drive a supercar.
The company's newly purchased black Daben S600 is still a black card!
The convoy of four Daben cars parked directly under Alibaba's newly leased office building, where Lao Ma and the company's executives were already waiting, and when they saw the car stopped, they greeted it with a smile on their faces.
"Welcome to Mr. Fei, our Alibaba is really shining today!"
"Hey, Mr. Cai is here too?"
"Mr. Xue, you haven't been here to inspect the work for a while. ”
"This is Mr. Shen, I've admired it for a long time, Ctrip's mouse and cement mode is really amazing!"
After a round of greetings, everyone got to know each other.
Yu Wenfei was naturally the central focus, and the stars surrounded him and walked into Ali's office building.
Now Alibaba has shifted its focus to Taobao, which can be seen from the staffing of employees.
The building has seven floors, four of which belong to the Taobao department, two floors belong to the original Alibaba platform, and the top floor is the executive office.
After taking everyone around, Lao Ma came to the large conference room on the top floor.
Of course, the conditions on their side are not comparable to those in the Star Science and Technology Park, and both the space and the decoration are much shabby.
But this is the status quo of normal startups, Yu Wenfei's Facebook company has long been out of the ranks of ordinary startups, and one is more wealthy than the other......
"Mr. Fei, is there anything to take care of this time?" the old horse looked at Yu Wenfei with blazing eyes.
Yu Wenfei had a smile on his face and said unhurriedly: "I heard that since Taobao was launched, it has performed quite well, come and learn." ”
Lao Ma's face was tight, could it be that Yu Wenfei fell in love with the e-commerce industry and was ready to enter the e-commerce industry?
It's no wonder that he is afraid, Yu Wenfei now has a title that has been circulated in the circle, that is, "industry killer"!
It means to describe that every time Yu Wenfei enters an industry, he will make subversive changes to the entire industry, and the company that was alive and well will survive or even die directly under his blow.
"Don't worry, at least in the near future, I won't be considering entering the e-commerce industry. Yu Wenfei said with a smile.
Lao Ma breathed a sigh of relief and introduced: "Taobao began trial operation in April, and was officially opened to the public in May, and up to now, it is half a year, and there are more than 12,000 merchants on Taobao platform, with more than 4.3 million registered users! ”
When talking about these data, Lao Ma's face was full of pride.
Taobao is indeed something to be proud of, it can do this step in half a year, and it has surpassed many competitors in the same period.
According to Xue Chunhe, SoftBank is already planning to invest a large amount of money in Taobao again, because Son is very optimistic about the e-commerce industry.
Yu Wenfei nodded, these data are great in the eyes of Lao Ma, but in Yu Wenfei's eyes, they are a little worthless.
He opened his mouth and said: "So, does Mr. Ma want Taobao to reach more than 100 million users and more than 10 billion transactions within a year?"
The people on Ali's side, including Lao Ma, were all dumbfounded.
Because what Yu Wenfei said is too exaggerated!
E-commerce platforms are different from social platforms like Facebook.
Perhaps Yuwenfei's Facebook, Facebook games, WeChat, etc., can reach more than 100 million users in just a few days, but it does not mean that Yuwenfei can also achieve this achievement if he does e-commerce.
Because of e-commerce, in 2003, the user base was not large, and many people would not consider shopping on the Internet at all.
Payment is troublesome, the quality of the items is not guaranteed, the shipping time is relatively long, and the shopping experience is not as good as that of offline physical stores.
And the transaction amount of more than 10 billion is even more outrageous!
According to Yu Wenfei, that means that there must be 100 million real active users, and each person has to spend 100 yuan on Taobao to reach this transaction amount.
Taobao's management team, including Lao Ma, never expected Taobao to achieve that scale in three or five years!
That's just their long-term goal, the next eight or ten years!
But now, in Yu Wenfei's mouth, it seems that it is very easy to achieve this goal......
