1115 Prospects of the E-commerce Industry
Sometimes Zheng Yao was thinking about what kind of life she would be living now if she hadn't met Zhao Fusheng.
Perhaps, I will go abroad.
Whenever she thinks of this, Zheng Yao sighs a little and sighs, saying that life will always give people surprises, there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, but she didn't expect that the change would come so quickly.
Perhaps, this is the impermanence of life.
"What do you want?" Zhao Fusheng saw that Zheng Yao was a little distracted, knocked on the table, and asked her.
"Ah, nothing. ”
His thoughts were interrupted, Zheng Yao glanced at Zhao Fusheng, and just wanted to say a few words of thanks, when he heard him casually complain there, "Do you have no boyfriend, and you are so bored that you can empty yourself all day long?"
"What?" At that moment, Zheng Yao was stunned, and saw Zhao Fusheng say in a serious manner, "Let me tell you, I am not telling you as a boss and boss now, but as a former student and now a friend of yours, although you are a strong woman, but after all, you must have a home, don't worry, I will definitely prepare a big dowry for you......"
The corners of his mouth twitched, Zheng Yao knew that Zhao Fusheng's words were for his own good, but he was not happy to hear it.
What the hell is this old father's bitter tone for his daughter!
"I ......" Seeing that Zhao Fusheng was there and wanted to continue, Zheng Yao simply interrupted him neatly, "Do you still want to listen to my report?"
"Huh?" Zhao Fusheng was stunned for a moment, seeing that Zheng Yao's face was not very good, he blinked, and wisely chose to follow his heart, "Okay, you say, you say." ”
"I think the development of the Internet has become an inevitable trend. Zheng Yao controlled his emotions, organized his language, and said to Zhao Fusheng seriously, "Judging from the growth of netizens in the past two years and the popularity of home computers, we can conclude that the era of the Internet has arrived. ”
Zhao Fusheng nodded, "No problem, continue." ”
Zheng Yao went on to say, "The main applications of the Internet now, in my opinion, can be divided into two categories, one is social and the other is browsing. The former is mainly based on social networking sites and instant messengers, including the few websites you have invested in and created before, or the penguins on the Tengxun side, all of which belong to this kind. In fact, I think, even online games are an extension of social virtual communities. ”
Zhao Fusheng's expression changed slightly, and he had to admit that these things analyzed by Zheng Yao sounded like that were really the case, and it was obvious that in this matter, she had put in the effort to investigate, otherwise it would be impossible to get such a conclusion.
"In the case of browsing, it is mainly to browse web websites. Zheng Yao continued, "But with the rise of online shopping in the United States, I think that domestic Internet commerce will eventually rise." ”
"It's an inevitable trend. Zhao Fusheng nodded, and gave affirmative support to Zheng Yao's statement, "When I went to the United States before, I also learned about this information, and indeed as you said, the craze of Internet shopping is forming." ”
After a pause, he looked at Zheng Yao, "However, according to what you said, is it difficult for us to start an e-commerce website by ourselves?"
He was ready, if Zheng Yao said yes, then Zhao Fusheng would mercilessly reject her suggestion.
What are you kidding, it's a money-burning thing, and he won't do it if he is killed.
Not to mention anything else, whether it is online shopping or video sharing sites, to put it bluntly in the early stage, it is to throw money and spend money, keep throwing money, and if you want to see the benefits, you have to wait.
The return here is certainly not low, but Zhao Fusheng can make the same or even more money in other ways, why should he throw his own funds into that bottomless pit?
"Why do you want to make your own website?"
When Zheng Yao heard Zhao Fusheng's words, her face was full of surprise, and she looked at him and said a little incomprehensibly, "We can obviously invest through the Future Investment Fund, what are we doing with our own website?"
Zhao Fusheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, but he still didn't expect that he was actually shaken by Zheng Yao.
"Tell me, what specific thoughts do you have?" Zhao Fusheng asked Zheng Yao.
Since she can say it to herself, it seems that she should already have a goal.
"Did you know that at the turn of the millennium, SoftBank invested in a website in China? In May last year, they spent 100 million yuan to set up an online shopping trading platform. Zheng Yao said slowly to Zhao Fusheng.
Zhao Fusheng was stunned for a moment, and always felt that what Zheng Yao said seemed to be a little familiar.
"Softbank?" looked at Zheng Yao suspiciously, and Zhao Fusheng asked, "How much did they invest?"
"About $20 million. Zheng Yao obviously did an investigation, answered Zhao Fusheng quickly, and then said, "In February this year, this company raised $82 million from several first-tier investment institutions, becoming the largest private placement financing in the domestic Internet. ”
"Their boss, you won't call Ma Xiaoyun, right?" Zhao Fusheng blinked and asked Zheng Yao.
Isn't this Ali's father!
Although Zhao Fusheng is not very familiar with the development history of Taobao, he still vaguely knows something, such as Softbank investment, later private equity, and then Ma Xiaoyun established a new Alipay company in order to get rid of SoftBank's control. It's just that he didn't expect that Zheng Yao would actually set his sights on Ma Xiaoyun at this time.
But speaking of which, Zheng Yao's vision is really good, after all, if you want to get a piece of the pie after others go public, it will not be so easy.
"Yes, Ma Xiaoyun is very capable, at least, I am very optimistic about him. Zheng Yao was not surprised that Zhao Fusheng knew Ma Xiaoyun's name, after all, this guy must have his own source channels, otherwise how could he know so many good projects. This point is the consensus of Dong Chenxi, Zheng Yao and others, and everyone has acquiesced.
"But the problem is, people have already raised so much money, how can we get in now?" Zhao Fusheng nodded, glanced at Zheng Yao and said.
That's the crux of the matter, and a lot of times, it's not that no one knows that a project is making money, it's just that there's no way to reach in.
Just like on Hong Kong Island, in 2017, the ranking of the top 10 richest people on Hong Kong Island was released, and apart from the fourth and fifth places, there was not much change from the past decade. The tycoons are monopolistic like a huge net, enveloping the entire food chain on Hong Kong Island. The Kwok brothers controlled the Kowloon Motor Bus, the fourth uncle, Lee Chiu-kei, controlled Towngas, Shark Gall Tung owned two bus companies, NWFB and Citybus, and the charter boat king bought the Star Ferry and Hong Kong Island Tramway. From '94 to 2017, there was no increase in the number of taxi licences on Hong Kong Island, and public light bus licences were frozen from 1976. Wal-Mart and Carrefour shy away from Hong Kong Island, and after the turn of the millennium, no well-known Internet companies were born on Hong Kong Island. The descendants of the tycoons no longer need to make their first pot of gold, and the real estate, port, electricity and supermarket industries on Hong Kong Island are firmly controlled by their families.
Capital is shrouded in everything, and young people basically have no chances.
Therefore, this era is Zhao Fusheng's last chance, because he knows very well that in another five years, he may not even have a chance to rise.
Because the upper space has been completely blocked.
"It's very simple, work with SoftBank. Zheng Yao looked at Zhao Fusheng and said slowly.
Zhao Fusheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You mean to let me cooperate with SoftBank Asia, which I have been cheated once before?"
You know, in the matter of the intranet, he slaughtered SoftBank Asia fiercely, and it is estimated that Masao Ono is still talking about his pit on him, after all, Ono thought that he was pulling Redmountain Capital to talk about their acquisition of the intranet, but in fact, Redsoft Capital acquired the shares of Shengda Technology in Zhao Fusheng's hand.
It is estimated that Masao Ono, who knows the news, can grit his teeth.
Money, SoftBank Asia is not without it, I knew that Zhao Fusheng even planned to sell the shares of Shengda Technology, and Masao Ono would refuse if he was crazy.
As a result, now, Zheng Yao actually let herself cooperate with SoftBank, and Zhao Fusheng felt that this woman was probably crazy.
