Shen Si, who was borrowed by Excellence.com for almost a year, finally came back in the summer. She looks more calm and capable, and she is much more confident from the inside out, it seems that this year's vice president is not done for nothing.

"How does it feel to be a leader?" asked Song Weiyang with a smile.

Shen thought for a while and said, "It's okay, that's it." ”

Song Weiyang said: "Do you want to continue to be a leader, or I will invest in helping you start a business?"

"Don't," Shen Si immediately waved his hand, "It's better to be your assistant, although I'm a little tired, I don't need to think too much about things outside of work." ”

Song Weiyang asked: "Is there a fight within the excellent network again?"

Shen Si smiled: "How can there be a company that doesn't fight infighting? Excellence.com is quite normal, it's not very powerful to form gangs, but some people want to use me as a gunman, and they actually make me a faction leader." If I don't quit, I guess sooner or later I'll have to have a conflict with the CEO. ”

"Since you don't like this kind of thing, then come back and continue to be my assistant," Song Weiyang said, "When you can't be idle one day, you can go out at any time." ”

Shen Si held his cheek raiser with one hand, tilted his head and stared at Song Weiyang for a while, and said with a smile on his face: "You are so good to me?"

Song Weiyang was immediately happy and joked: "Look at it, after a year as a vice president, your courage has grown a lot, and you wouldn't ask this kind of question in person before." ”

"Hey, hey. Shen Si stuck out his tongue lightly, and actually laughed with a girlish feeling.

The two chatted for a while, and Song Weiyang finally asked seriously: "What is the current situation of Excellence.com?"

Shen Si said proudly: "Now in China's e-commerce industry, it is recognized as 'B2C looks at excellence, C2C looks at Taobao', and both of them occupy more than 50% of the market share in their respective fields. ”

Song Weiyang added with a smile: "Yes, these two also lose the most." ”

China's e-commerce field is still in the era of competition, B2C has Excellence, Dangdang, Bertelsmann, 8848, 6688, E country, cloud network, Maiwang, online shopping online, Newegg, Gome, Haier, Sanlian, IT treasure...... JD.com can't be ranked at all. There are slightly fewer C2C platforms, mainly Taobao, eBay, Sohu, NetEase, Sina, TOM, 263, Zhongshang, and Souyide.

But this year's market share is more concentrated, with Excellence and Taobao each occupying half of their fields due to their crazy money-burning.

Facts have proved that e-commerce still has to burn money, and whoever burns more money can seize more markets.

Shen Si suddenly said: "Amazon is going to enter China. ”

"When?" Song Weiyang asked.

Shen Si said: "Amazon has always wanted to explore the Chinese market, and last year's attempt to acquire Joy.com was unsuccessful, and this year it has targeted other websites. I heard that I have been talking to 8848, but 8848 is a listed company, and if Amazon wants to develop it into a branch, it must be delisted after the acquisition. According to rumors, Amazon and 8848 are already about to sign a contract, and the entire excellent network is now like a big enemy, ready to carry out promotional activities at the first time Amazon enters, and want to kill Amazon's prestige. ”

Song Weiyang nodded and said: "Since Amazon wants to enter the Chinese market, if it fails to acquire Excellence.com, it will inevitably turn to acquire 8848, and this rumor should not be false." ”

It's really 8848 too beautiful a few years ago, and it is almost synonymous with online shopping.

In 2000, ST Hongye lost money for more than two consecutive years and was about to be forced to delist. Just because of its relationship with 8848, the stock price continued to grow for 7 consecutive months in 2001, when the stock market was turbulent.

Beijing's Xidan Shopping Mall, a state-owned listed company, has also seen its share price fall all the way. After Wang Juntao was kicked out of 8848, Xidan immediately set up an e-commerce website with Wang Juntao, and the stock price rose sharply immediately after the news was released, and the market value rose by more than 200 million yuan in one fell swoop.

At that time, all the listed companies that rubbed the heat of 8848, the stock price did not rise, and it belonged to the existence that Excellence.com could only look up to. Then this website began to die, because Amazon's stock price plummeted in the Internet winter, doing B2C is not recognized by the market in the short term, and it needs to burn too much money into it, so shareholders did not hesitate to force CEO Wang Juntao away, and transformed into B2B to compete with Alibaba to grab the market. As a result, the B2B market did not grab it, and the B2C market lost a large chunk.

Now that 8848 has long since declined, its reputation is still there, and shareholders can't wait to cash out (they have already cashed out a batch), which is the best acquisition target for Amazon.

Song Weiyang took out a panda cigarette and lit it, he is used to smoking this thing, and it belongs to the only luxury that our richest man in China hobby.

Last year, the Shanghai Tobacco Factory was in a frenzy and launched a luxury collector's edition of the Panda. The tobacco material used by this panda is far superior to that of Chinese cigarettes, and there are only slight differences from the kind smoked by the great man, with only two packs of cigarettes in each gift pack, and the external sales price is 204 US dollars, and the internal sales price is also thousands of yuan, which is equivalent to 30 yuan for a cigarette.

Such an outrageous price is actually in short supply. On the day of the limited supply every month, there will be a long queue outside the store in the middle of the night, and it will be sold out in less than half a day, and if you want to buy this kind of cigarette again, you can only wait for the next month.

Almost no one buys it and smokes it for themselves, it's all for gifts!

Public opinion strongly condemned this, and relevant departments also stood up to intervene, and the Shanghai Tobacco Factory could only reduce the price of such cigarettes, but each pack of panda cigarettes still sold for 200 yuan.

Of course, Song Weiyang doesn't need to queue up to buy cigarettes, and the Shanghai Tobacco Factory reserves 30 packs for him every month (this deluxe version of the Panda is sold regardless of the strip), and even sends cigarette factory employees to deliver them to his door.

Tasting the faint mellow smell of tobacco, Song Weiyang exhaled a puff of smoke, shook the ashes and said, "Call the excellent network and ask them to go and acquire the cloud network." ”

"What are you doing with the acquisition of the cloud network?" Shen Si said in surprise.

Song Weiyang explained: "After the acquisition, all the e-book and other businesses of the cloud network will be transferred to the excellent network. The cloud network only retains virtual game props, virtual electronic currency and other transactions, and I want to build the largest virtual trading platform in the country. ”

This idea was conceived by Song Weiyang when he played a game a few days ago, he didn't have a luxury account of "Street Basketball" in his hand at the time, and he was dazzled by a local tyrant player's special effects. The most annoying thing is that the other party also ridiculed him for playing too rubbish, wearing only a pair of pants and having no skills and no money.

Song Weiyang was unhappy at the time, so he ran to recharge, only to find that the recharge process was too cumbersome, and by the way, he searched for the largest virtual trading platform cloud network at this time.

Cloud network is currently the biggest wonder in China's e-commerce field, the main business is to sell all kinds of cards, including game point cards, phone bill recharge cards, etc., and also do online game props trading services. In last year's statistics, the number of electronic payment transactions in the cloud network accounted for more than 25% of ICBC's national transactions, more than 30% of ABC's national transactions, and also ranked among the top three in the electronic payment transactions of CCB, China Merchants and Minsheng banks.

Shen Si didn't know much about this kind of e-commerce platform, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is there a market for virtual item trading?"

"Just look at how much money you make from online games," Song Weiyang said, "but the cloud network is not perfect now, and a lot of content is inconvenient." According to my idea, in the future, the cloud-network business should be divided into two parts: B2C and C2C. The first is the consignment point card, the offline consignment commission is too high, the online game company will definitely be willing to sell it online, and the second is the transaction between players and players, which can trade game currency and game equipment. After the buyer confirms the receipt, the cloud network will transfer the money to the seller's account, and only a small service fee will be charged. ”

Shen Si doubted: "It seems that the current trading of virtual items belongs to a gray area, which is strictly illegal. ”

"But it's not illegal, isn't it?" said Song Weiyang.

Nowadays, electronic payment is very cumbersome, so many domestic online game products have not opened the recharge function on the official website, and players need to go to the Internet café to recharge to buy a card. There is also the transaction of game props and game currency, most of which are solved privately, and scammers can only consider themselves unlucky. There are also similar virtual trading platforms, but on the one hand, the background relationship is not the other hand, the third-party guarantee is not good, and the cloud network is slightly more formal.

Song Weiyang is well aware of the future scale of the online game market, and he wants to make Yunwang the most authoritative related trading platform in China. The business of consignment game point cards will definitely not last long, but the trading of equipment and game currency can always be done. Maybe ten years from now, as long as people shop online, they will think of Joy.com and Taobao. And if players want to sell accounts, equipment, and game currency, they will immediately think of cloud network.

With the resources that Song Weiyang has mastered, this thing is actually very easy to do.

Let the games of Shenjian Network, Soupai Changyou, Tencent, NetEase and other companies all make announcements in the game: "Please be cautious about offline transactions, strictly prevent fraud, and highly recommend transaction and payment on the cloud network." ”

The cloud network can also cooperate with Alibaba and use Alipay for transactions, and Ma Xiaoyun, who is eager to promote Alipay, is definitely willing. In return, of course, it is to transplant Taobao's third-party guarantee system, or even invite a Taobao senior management to come and guide you by hand.

Song Weiyang said: "Let Excellence.com talk about the acquisition first, and you go to the capital with me." I.M. Pei will come to China in a few days, and people will appreciate their faces so much, we have to give face, and I must go over and receive them in person. ”
