Chapter 188: Opportunity
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Qin Yong's eyes were red, his hands were typing quickly, and he was replying to more than a dozen customers at the same time.
Her wife, who was already tired and sleepy, sat next to her and couldn't get up, and snorted.
"Lao Qin, why don't we continue to do it tomorrow, it's twelve o'clock, and the account in the store hasn't been settled yet......"
"What's the hurry, do you know how much you've sold today? Tomorrow, what if there is no business tomorrow?"
"But ......"
"Oh, if you want to make money, you have to be able to endure hardships, you go and look at the next few houses, and see who goes back to sleep?
……
Qin Yong's wife froze, then worked hard to get up, and went to a few shops next door to take a look, and sure enough, everyone was fighting at night, crawling in front of the computer and not moving.
"Lao Qin, you say it's weird, usually the website doesn't have such good sales, why is the business so good today?"
"Hey, why do you care about him so much? You're not happy to have business? Hurry up, copy the order, and hurry up the delivery early tomorrow morning......"
……
So, Qin Yong and his wife began to struggle again.
1 a.m. ......
Three......
Five......
Finally, the day dawned......
Looking at the customers who were still sending messages on the computer in front of him, and looking at the steady stream of orders from his store, Qin Yong was sleepy, hungry and happy.
"Lao Qin, why don't we change our staring, you go to sleep first, I'll help you stare at the computer, anyway, just send the courier to get dark and leave, don't be in a hurry for a while, wait until you wake up and then change my ......"
His wife proposed a new method, Qin Yong thought about it, these customers don't know what medicine they have taken, and the orders have soared dozens of times since yesterday, and they are still continuing, and they don't know when it will be a head.
If I continue to do it, within three or four days, I am afraid that I will die suddenly soon.
"Okay...... You come to watch, I'll sleep first, and then I'll change you when I wake up. ”
Qin Yong finally handed over the computer to his wife, and when he got off the computer, he felt relaxed, passing by the store next door, he saw that Xiao Datou had just come down from the computer.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Good selling?"
"Hehe, yes, I don't know what went crazy about Taotao shopping yesterday, and the orders were dozens of times more than usual. How are you?"
"Make do with it, it's only seventy or eighty thousand yuan. ”
"Seventy or eighty thousand is still called improvised?"
"Hey, Ah Qiang sold more than 300,000 goods in one day yesterday, where am I going!"
"More than 300,000 yuan? My God, are you also shopping on Taotao?"
"Yes, everyone is shopping on Taotao, since yesterday, all the people who have opened stores in Taotao shopping have been sent, and now they are desperately taking orders. Other platforms still seem to be tepid......"
……
Qin Yong was already extremely hungry, and he didn't care about talking too much, and after saying a few words, he quickly quickened his pace and walked towards the rental house he rented next to him.
After he slept for a few hours, he immediately changed his wife again.
The two of them changed shifts back and forth like this for ten days, and finally they couldn't stand it anymore, they thought that this explosive sales speed was just an occasional unexpected surprise.
Unexpectedly, this surprise has been going on for ten days, and it is still going on, and there is a tendency to surprise more and more.
Taotao Shopping ......
"Mr. Ma, good news! Our platform has settled more than 100,000 merchants! Recently, it has increased by more than 10,000 per day!"
……
This week, merchants have increased the conversion rate by more than 1,200% using our recommendation mechanism!"
……
Taotao's recommendation mechanism is actually similar to the recommendation mechanism given to each writer by the starting Chinese network.
When Ma Xiaoyun created the Taotao shopping platform, he put forward the concept of free entry for merchants and no commission for buyers, in other words, sellers sell goods on the platform, buyers buy goods on the platform, and Taotao shopping does not charge any fees.
In other words, Ma Xiaoyun can't make any money in all the transaction processes of the platform.
This concept was very bold ten years ago.
After all, people die for money, and birds die for food!
You invest in the platform to monetize and make money, so everyone thinks that he will not do business at all, because although the platform has good traffic, there is no monetization channel.
The reason why Taotao shopping was not recognized by many people in the later stage, including ridicule among peers and ridicule by investors, is actually the most fundamental problem.
There was even a boss who did well on a similar platform who openly mocked him on a TV show.
"Taotao shopping?hehe, sooner or later he will close down, his most fundamental problem is that he does not have the ability to directly monetize!!"
This is not a good thing to say, but it is indeed the biggest problem faced by Taotao shopping.
At the beginning of its establishment, Taotao Shopping almost lost money and made money, and the more merchants settled in, the greater the loss he had.
But talent is divided into yin and yang, things are divided into two sides, and bad things can also become good things from a certain point of view.
Although the Taotao shopping platform lacks the ability to monetize, it also attracts countless merchants to flock to settle in because of the free gimmick!
After all, it's free, I put the store on it, and I can sell it best, and if I can't sell it, I won't lose money anyway.
So over the years, Taotao has not earned anything from shopping, that is, there are many merchants!!
As for realization, hehe, Ma Xiaoyun is naturally not a fool, he is a human being, and he also likes money, the reason why he didn't realize it before was because he felt that the time had not yet come.
And now, the time has finally come!!
Over the years, countless employees who have resigned have mentioned to him that they should learn from other platforms and charge entry fees for settled merchants, which is actually a very considerable amount of money, but Ma Xiaoyun has refused.
Ma Xiaoyun feels that if you charge users directly, then the user's resistance must be very strong, so there will be no sense of belonging to your platform.
He believes that in order to monetize, you have to find a good method, and this good method is actually the recommendation mechanism he proposed.
To put it simply, there are millions of merchants on the platform, and if there are 100,000 of them, how can customers find your store and buy from you?
When there is no recommendation mechanism, this can only depend on fate, it is possible that the customer inadvertently saw it, then there will be an order, and there is a kind of business to promote itself, which also has an effect, but not all merchants can afford the huge publicity and promotion costs, as well as so much free time.
People open online stores for convenience, and if they need to promote themselves, this is a bit of putting the cart before the horse.
Therefore, Ma Xiaoyun's final plan is to use Taotao's own platform to promote the stores of these merchants.
For example, homepage recommendation positions, targeted search, discounts, flash sales activities, and so on.
