Chapter 1325 An explanation for the people of the whole country
The shooting of the public service announcement is very simple, Li Mu went through the four lines set in four paragraphs in front of the camera, and after each one was passed, he shot a complete clip of four sentences in one whole line for the director, and then completed his task, which took less than ten minutes before and after.
However, Li Mu knew very well in his heart that Sun Junyi's next interview was the top priority for Yang Ma to invite her over this time.
Sitting opposite Sun Junyi in the studio, Sun Junyi first dictated the efforts made by Li Mu and his two companies in the process of fighting SARS, and at the same time, on behalf of Yang Ma, gave a very positive evaluation of Li Mu's actions, and then came to Sun Junyi's question session.
In the face of every question raised by Sun Junyi, Li Mu answered them one by one very naturally.
Sun Junyi asked him: "Mr. Li, what do you think of this SARS epidemic?"
Li Mu replied: "I think SARS is just a small episode in our development process, tens of thousands of years, diseases are the eternal opponents of human beings in the process of development, no matter how human beings develop, it is impossible to completely eliminate diseases, encountering a new type of disease is really not a new thing in the history of human development, and our current medical level has made great progress compared with the past few decades, so I don't think SARS will really become a large-scale epidemic disease." β
Sun Junyi asked Li Mu again: "Mr. Li, in your opinion, can this epidemic be quickly overcome?"
Li Mu nodded, and said seriously: "I believe in the strength of the country and the cohesion of the people, and at the same time I also believe in science, believe in our medical and scientific research workers, and compared with the various avian flu, mad cow disease and Ebola virus epidemic diseases that have been prevalent in recent years, the destructive power brought by SARS is obviously much weaker than these infectious diseases, so I believe that it will not take long for us to be able to defeat this epidemic, maybe three months, at most half a year, we can achieve the final victory." β
Sun Junyi then asked: "Mr. Li, some time ago, Makino Technology and Taobao jointly donated a large number of epidemic prevention materials to the health department and the transportation department, including tens of millions of high-grade protective masks, a large number of protective clothing, disinfection equipment and body temperature detection equipment.
Li Mu replied: "When the epidemic broke out, the whole society was somewhat in a panic mentality, but in my opinion, the vast majority of the people in the society did not have any real danger for the time being, and the fundamental reason to ensure that they were not in real danger for the time being was the efforts and dedication of a large number of front-line medical workers;"
After a pause, Li Mu said again: " Judging from the data we have counted, all the cities where the SARS epidemic has been found, there is no large-scale spread at present, this is because our medical staff have isolated and treated confirmed cases and suspected cases, they have exposed themselves to the most dangerous environment, and used their flesh and blood to build a strong Great Wall between the virus and the people, and my company and I have the responsibility and obligation to provide help to these medical workers within our ability, and at present, I believe that what they need most is to enhance personal protection materials, so we decided to donate these materials to themIf there is a need for related materials in the future, we will continue to donate more to them. β
Sun Junyi praised: "Mr. Li has always been one of the most socially responsible entrepreneurs among private entrepreneurs in China, we have received feedback from a large number of medical units, your donation of this batch of materials, has been given to all front-line medical workers in the shortest possible time, and provides them with a very good security guarantee, here, on behalf of the country's medical workers, thank you and your two enterprises for their care and dedication." β
Li Mu said humbly: "All of these are what we should do. β
Sun Junyi also said: "This epidemic, your Taobao has received unanimous praise from the people of the whole country, when the epidemic has just been announced, the price of materials related to epidemic prevention has skyrocketed, and many ill-intentioned businessmen have increased the price of goods that were originally only worth a few yuan to dozens of yuan or even hundreds of yuan for sale, while your Taobao network can stabilize prices in the shortest possible time, which also makes many people in China who do not know Taobao, or do not understand online shopping, know more about Taobao, Knowing about the Internet and e-commerce, I would like to ask you, in your opinion, what kind of changes will the Internet and e-commerce bring to consumers in the future, and why they can bring about the changes you expected. β
This question is a question in the true sense of the word.
This is also why Li Muhui has always been full of gratitude to Yang Ma in his heart, from the moment he was exposed, Yang Ma took good care of herself, and has been reporting on herself and her entrepreneurial projects from an absolutely positive angle, laying a strong mass foundation for herself.
In order to seize this good opportunity, Li Mu replied very seriously: "I think that in the near future, e-commerce will become the mainstream consumption channel of the urban population, and in ten years, it will cover the vast majority of the township and rural population, and at the same time, e-commerce will also expand from the current national scope to the global scope in the future!"
"As for why I expected this, there are many reasons: in the early days of the Internet, in the field of information interaction, it created a virtual world without distance and barrier for all mankind, but the Internet can do much more than the virtual world, and e-commerce is an organic combination of the Internet and the real society;
In real life, consumers' feet and legs are long, so they can walk a very limited distance in order to shop every day, the vast majority of people's daily consumption range, beyond the five-kilometer radius of the home as the center, people living in first-tier cities, the daily consumption range may be able to reach fifteen kilometers, but this is already in real life, the ultimate in daily consumption, if a person's daily consumption needs to be fifteen kilometers or even more than twenty kilometers away from home, then it is certain that this person's consumption experience is very tired;
However, in the field of e-commerce, consumers' feet and legs have been completely liberated, they can enjoy the consumption range of 9.6 million square kilometers at home without leaving home, we put the country's goods in front of him, so that he can sit in front of the computer and choose his favorite goods at will. Online payment, offline delivery, so that users can sit at home to buy goods all over the country and even the world, this consumption mode and experience change, absolutely revolutionary, I believe that any consumer who has experienced online shopping, will completely fall in love with this new way of shopping, I also believe that in the near future, e-commerce will completely subvert the consumption habits of consumers across the country. β
Sun Junyi nodded and said: "We interviewed many Taobao consumers, their evaluation of the online shopping experience, indeed as you said, this is an unprecedented, subversive new experience, the previous way of shopping, is to arrange the time in advance, clean up, go to the shopping place, and then shuttle through various stores, with a long time to select their favorite goods, but now, you only need to sit at home and move the mouse, you can enjoy browsing from all over the country, Including Vientiane products, see what you like, as long as you place an order to pay, wait for a day or two, the goods will be delivered to your door, this kind of experience change, is indeed revolutionary, I believe that the SARS epidemic, but also let more consumers fully feel the e-commerce this different way of consumption. β
Li Mu nodded and said: "Taobao and Taobao Logistics will definitely work harder in the future to provide consumers across the country with a more assured, affordable and convenient shopping experience." β
Subsequently, Sun Junyi asked the fifth question: "Mr. Li, whether it is Taobao using a large amount of inventory to stabilize prices this time, or your concern about health, In recent days, there are many netizens on the Internet who are curious, SARS has just broken out, before it only appeared in a small area in Guangdong Province, and at that time various departments have not paid enough attention to SARS, why did you start to prepare for this large number of materials a few months ago? Is it really as those netizens on the Internet said, you have the ability to predict the future?"
Li Mu smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "I am a human, not a god, so the ability of the unpredictable prophet is definitely not there, as for why he started to prepare this batch of materials two or three months in advance, this question is also a long story, but since many netizens are very interested, then I will talk about it." β
"A few months ago, Makino Technology launched the Makino Movie ticketing system for online sales of movie tickets, after the launch of this product, Mr. Spielberg, the director and founder of DreamWorks in the United States, very much hopes to cooperate with Makino Technology to develop the Makino Movie ticketing system to the United States, and it just so happened that we were also communicating about the script of "Flying Tigers", so he brought a well-known actress in the United States and one of the heroines of our "Flying Tigers" Anne Hathaway to China together;
It just so happened that at that time I was busy with the distribution center project of Taobao logistics in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, and you should also have the impression that we launched the first set of automatic sorting system of Taobao Logistics there, and I attached great importance to this matter, so I have been in Shenzhen during that time, Spielberg and Anne Hathaway also went to Shenzhen to meet with me to discuss the specific details of cooperation;
At that time, there were already some rumors in Shenzhen, saying that there was a more serious infectious disease in the local area, although the rumors were unconfirmed, but many people were rushing to buy masks, disinfectants, and rumors that banlan root and white vinegar also had a very good curbing effect on infectious diseases, so there was a situation of people raising prices at that time, but it was far less outrageous than later;
I was in Shenzhen at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to these rumors after hearing about them, but a few days later, Miss Anne suddenly started a high fever hospitalization, and after having contact with the medical staff at the time, I learned that an unconfirmed new infectious disease had indeed been found in the local area, Miss Anne was hospitalized with a high fever for several days, and the situation was very critical for a while, although it was later confirmed that her high fever was not infected with an infectious disease, but this incident still brought me a great touch, combined with some rumors in the local market and the situation of price hikes, I felt that I needed to prepare for the worstIf this infectious disease is really serious and spreading, what can my business and I do for society to mitigate the harm caused by this infectious disease? β
After thinking about it carefully, I decided to start from two aspects: on the one hand, hoarding a large number of conventional epidemic prevention materials in advance, so as not to cause illegal traders to take the opportunity to raise prices if the epidemic really breaks out; on the other hand, to control the epidemic of infection, the most important thing must be to prevent healthy people from being infected, and the person in charge of this work is the majority of medical staff, so I have an idea of hoarding some medical and epidemic prevention materials and equipment in advance, I didn't expect it to really come in handy. β
Sun Junyi also heard Li Mu's positive answer for the first time, and after listening to it, the whole person was surprised, he knew that Li Mu did stay in Guangdong Province for a long time some time ago, and he also knew that Spielberg and Anne Hathaway did make a special trip to Shenzhen to meet him to discuss cooperation, but he didn't expect that there was Anne Hathaway's illness here, and he didn't doubt the authenticity of what Li Mu said, because this kind of thing can be answered as long as you ask the Shenzhen medical unit for verification. Hathaway was not infected with SARS, otherwise, if the news that an international movie star was infected with SARS in China was exposed, the impact on the international image would indeed be immeasurable.
In addition, Sun Junyi was also amazed by Li Mu's courage in his heart, he was able to deduce from some clues or some uncertain clues that there was a possible outbreak of the epidemic, and invested more than one billion yuan to hoard various materials, not worried that these materials would be smashed in his hands because of his own wrong inference.
Thinking of this, Sun Junyi couldn't help but ask a question that was not within the scope of prior communication: "Mr. Li, just by relying on these clues, you have the courage to invest one billion or even two billion yuan for prevention, aren't you worried about the huge losses you will face if you make a mistake?"
Li Mu smiled confidently, and said with an indifferent expression: "I'm not worried about my inference error at all, there are two reasons, first, if my inference is wrong and there is no epidemic, this is a good thing for society, why should I worry?" Secondly, Taobao already has a very large volume at that time, this batch of materials I can digest a large part or even all of them through Taobao normally, even if there is a loss, it is impossible to lose all of them, at most a loss of hundreds of millions of yuan, I as a businessman, I naturally have the preparation to face losses, a few hundred million yuan, it is nothing for me and my business, take hundreds of millions of potential losses to the whole society for an insurance, I think it is worth it. β
Saying that, Li Mu looked at Sun Junyi and said to him with a smile: "Having said that, anyone who starts a business has courage, and I just have more courage than ordinary people, and this matter is far from the most courageous thing I have ever done." β
Sun Junyi was quickly diverted by Li Mu, and curiously asked the second question that was not within the scope of communication: "Then Mr. Li, what is the most courageous thing you have done so far?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Makino Technology's C round of financing, I took in 3.3 billion US dollars in cash, and after this money arrived, I allocated more than 2 billion US dollars, converted into even more than 20 billion yuan, and used it for one thing, do you know what it is?"
Sun Junyi's eyes widened and he shook his head.
Li Mu said: "I have used more than 20 billion yuan of funds to establish a number of data processing centers around the world, and now, the first phase of this plan has been realized, so Makino Technology can support tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people around the world to log in to YY, through YY text chat, video calls, transfer data, send and receive emails, browse YY portals, and we can also support tens of millions of people to play "Paradise Town" and "Plants vs. Zombies Online" at the same time;
In the future, our data processing center will also be able to support millions of people to play large-scale online games, watch high-definition videos, and To make high-quality video and voice calls, and even in the further future, we not only have to provide such support for ourselves, but also for countless Internet companies around the world to provide the same support, this is our data service business, and this business itself, in the next few years, will not be profitable, but I infer that it will not only be worth the money in the future but also promising, so we will throw 20 billion into it, do you guess I will worry about the 20 billion in the water?"
Sun Junyi came back to his senses and sighed: "After listening to what you said, I believe you shouldn't be worried." β
Li Mu nodded: " I'm not worried, and not worried at all, this is not only because of the trust in my own judgment, but also my consistent style of doing things, as long as I think it is necessary to do something, no matter how high the capital investment I will not worry about, 20 billion investment in the data processing center, and 2 billion hoarding of epidemic prevention materials, in my opinion are the same, not to mention that 2 billion may be lost, even 20 billion will not be lost, in the future, Makino Technology or Taobao may invest 50 billion or even 100 billion projects, if I don't even dare to make the decision of 2 billion, why make these two companies become the top in the industryοΌβ
