Chapter 0536: E-commerce Wars
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone is still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year, and the subordinate groups of Youzu have begun to go to work one after another, and some people even have no holiday at all.
In just a few days, apples sold like crazy, batches of goods were sent out from Youzu Industrial Park, and SF Express's planes could be said to be non-stop day and night.
In the first two months of the year, Youzu Industrial Park exceeded the performance of the first two months of last year, and Huangshi happily called Lu You to report this matter.
"Mr. Lu, this year's industrial park is definitely making a lot of money, and we have distanced ourselves from competitors in Europe and the United States!"
"It's expected, it's mainly up to you this year, and the electronics are enough, I think. This year, I will leave the affairs of the research institute to you first, and it is convenient for you to directly mobilize funds if there is anything, after all, it is a gold cave. ”
The biggest opponent of the industrial park is Foxconn, and Hon Hai does not rely on foundry to go to the world, but on chips, and this piece of Youzu is blank.
"Okay, don't worry, as long as there is no problem with the order, it is no problem to supply a research institute, have you recently heard that there is an e-commerce war?"
E-commerce wars?
Lu You frowned, as if e-commerce had been playing with a brain since the beginning of this year.
"I don't know, what's wrong?"
"Last year, the entire e-commerce transaction volume reached 600 billion, more than five times, a snow disaster at the beginning of this year made Dibao go to the forefront, and the remaining few have been playing hot these days, many people have asked me, saying which one we support, and the online news is a mess. ”
After chatting for a few minutes, Lu You hung up the phone and took a look at the tablet. It's really chaotic, Gome, JD.com, and Suning are fighting.
All kinds of news are flying around, accusing each other of splashing dirty water, advertisements are overwhelming, as if they all hope to kill each other, and the three have one thing in common, that is, electrical appliances.
Electronic product sales are the big head, big profits, whoever controls electronic products, who is the next Gome, and it is not impossible to become the richest man.
Under the financial crisis, everyone is vulnerable, and this year is Dongge's rich year, because Mr. Huang was investigated.
Behind Jingdong is the old horse, the remaining two seem to have overseas capital, neither of them is easy to mess with, as for Ma Yun, now it is now transcendent, it is definitely the big head in the field of e-commerce, digging treasure, Tmall, wholesale, overseas shopping are all layout, you just need to stabilize your pace, no one can move him.
E-commerce melee, Lu You has no redundant layout in this area, but has in-depth cooperation with a few, not to mention the cruelty of e-commerce, but the market determines the existence of a few.
Rash entry will only kill the sky, and in the end he will not get much market share, especially the difficulty of overseas market expansion, after two Internet winters, he has been a little daunted by this industry.
was looking at the news, the assistant came over and said, "Mr. Lu, there is your call, it was Mr. Huang calling." ”
"Which Mr. Huang?"
"Mr. Huang of the United States. ”
Lu You took the phone and said, "Hello, I'm Lu You." ”
"Mr. Lu has a good New Year!" the voice on the other end of the phone had a southern accent.
"You also have a good New Year, Huangshi called me just now and talked about you, but I didn't expect you to call. ”
"It's been very unpleasant recently, it's all some fights in the business world, of course, in the eyes of Mr. Lu, these are all pediatrics, is Mr. Lu still resting now?
"No, on the plane, we will be in Shenzhen immediately. Lu You secretly thought in his heart that he didn't know him very well, and he was just a one-sided relationship, and he spoke so politely, I was afraid that he would ask for help.
Sure enough, without saying a few words, the other party spoke: "Mr. Lu, I heard that Youzu Finance has obtained a license, and when you were in Hong Kong before, you lent money to enterprises?"
"It's all small businesses, and I don't have that much money to support a large business like yours. There is a shortage of money everywhere this year, and you should know what Youzu will face next. ”
"Business competition, it's all about money, I have a shortage of funds here, I want to borrow a little from you, not much, just fifteen billion. ”
Fifteen billion?
Not much?
Lu You's face changed, and he smashed his mouth, how can these people be so rich these years, and when they open their mouths, they are fifteen billion.
"I don't participate in e-commerce, so it stands to reason that you don't lack money. ”
"I'm not going to hide it from you. There was a little problem within the group, and this year it was even worse, and the shareholders also had an accident. ”
Lu You still knows a little bit about China, and the loneliness is completely an internal seizure of power, a huge board of directors, and management problems, coupled with the financial crisis and the e-commerce war, which have become the last straw.
It's a bit similar to the inside of the You Clan before, except that Lu You asked Bai Kolon to get out of the way directly.
"I really can't help you, now I have to guard not only at home, but also internationally, and the situation is even more difficult than yours. Lu You smiled bitterly.
The two said a few polite words and hung up the phone.
Shen Qian looked at him and asked, "There are too many things this year." It's just the Chinese New Year, and the e-commerce war has begun. ”
"It's just the beginning, wait, the show is ahead, the more difficult it is, the more fierce the competition, everyone wants to swallow each other and make their stomachs feel better!"
"In fact, we have not been involved in the field of e-commerce, and this is the best time to enter the game. Jiang Siya pondered for a while and said, "Are you sure you don't want to do it?"
"Don't want to make money when you see it, the layout of Youzu is big enough, the management ability is limited, e-commerce is not like a traditional industry, this is the future industry, this industry will only come in more and more people, and it is not too late to come in at any time." Lu You leaned back in his chair and stopped talking.
As the industry becomes more and more mature, as long as the capital joins, it can create a shopping website at any time.
For Lu You, after carrying this time, as long as it is something that money can do, it will not be a problem.
When I got off the plane, the first thing was to hold the annual meeting, this year is a very severe year, we must stabilize the hearts of the executives, if there is a problem in the hearts of the people, it is a big problem. At the critical moment, Lu You does not want to fire any executives.
There are no tables, chairs and benches in the large conference room, and there are a hundred people standing full, even the last row is worth tens of millions, and the first row is worth more than 100 million.
The door to the conference room opened, and applause rang out. Lu You walked in with a calm face, glanced at everyone present, and said, "First of all, I wish everyone a happy New Year here, but don't be happy too early, it's only been a few days this year, and everyone knows how much has happened." To let you stand here just after the New Year is to tell you that this year is very uncomfortable. ”
"The major groups must increase their combat effectiveness, when I came, I learned the news of the e-commerce war on the plane, under the financial crisis, the market is shrinking, this year, all companies are dogs, grab those few bones, kill the opponent, you may not live well, but if you don't kill the opponent, you must die very miserably." ”
"I'll just say a word. Whether it is the group business, the lower business, or the terminal market, no matter what the other party is Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, or international capital, I will sharpen my teeth this year and eat people in the market. ”
"To make every subordinate enterprise become a wolf, howling wolf, forever maintain market competitiveness, this year is not a rise in wages, but combat effectiveness to rise, maintain corporate culture, maintain wolf competition, in the current market environment, either eaten by others, or eat others, do not think that you become an international large enterprise, you can lie down. ”
"This year, the personnel department, audit team, finance and other departments of the group headquarters will have a more firm control of the subordinate enterprises, if you can't get out, external competition, internal competition, the introduction of a team system, to team to team, especially product research and development, in the face of the market to be ruthless, you are not ruthless to yourself, others will be more ruthless to you. ”
"Next, please invite the CEOs of the major groups. Sign a military order, this year's annual task is a hard indicator, not only to confirm the task to the month, but the day, layer by layer, not to achieve it and go. ”
"Don't talk about you, you can't do it. The board of directors will put pressure on me, maybe I, the founder, will have to get out, just say so much, no nonsense!"
The group of people below looked serious and felt the pressure, it was the first time in so many years that Lu You had said such harsh words. It can be seen how severe the situation is this year, and living has become the first goal of the company, and the higher goal is to live a little more moisturizing.
Everyone signed, and Lu You looked at Yang Chenguang and said, "Mr. Yang will go to the office with me." ”
In the office, Yang Chenguang sat in the front seat.
"How's the development of the Youzu financial program?"
"It has been completed, the third round of vulnerability testing is underway, and the risk control team has also completed, and you need to sign it before it is officially unveiled. ”
"How much money is there?"
"28 billion yuan, most of this money is obtained from banks, and some of it is subsidized, and the sinking funds are with the arrival of the financial crisis. Most of them have been siphoned off, and they are basically gone, and the incubation of small and medium-sized enterprises has also stopped. ”
"Develop the enterprise version first, and for the development of enterprises in the mainland, we must strictly control the qualifications and repayment ability of enterprises, and first target small and medium-sized enterprises. In the face of the market also to be opened, the payment side can be connected with the three of them, you know?"
"Got it, Mr. Lu, what about Wall Street?"
Yang Chenguang's meaning is very clear, Lu You and Apple gave the two families a heavy blow, but there was no response there, so he was afraid of holding back.
You can't help but guard against it!
With the impact of the market, the losses of the two companies are about 100 billion, and the market slump continues, not only in the Chinese market, but also in the international market.
"Let's deal with the domestic affairs first, you take care of these things, and I'll take care of the rest. Lu You pondered for a while and said, "In terms of industrial ecological construction, I think it would be better to merge and acquire Youzu Video back?"
"Yes, is it okay?"
It's not a matter of Lu You's words to disagree?
