Chapter 529: Breaking Chen Tong's Shackles
The second day after Taobao went live, Friday. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Tong, one of the souls of Sina.com, left the company a few hours early and went to his younger brother Liu Qiaodong's company, ready to give his employees a small training as promised and talk about his understanding of the Internet.
Last night, he also saw Taobao's jaw-dropping debut, which can be said to be extremely impressive.
Chen Tong has been doing the Internet for so many years, and his understanding of the Internet is indeed not comparable to ordinary people, he understands the importance of the Internet industry model, Sina.com is to eat the loss of the model, the profit model of the portal network is too single, and the income of wireless operation is somewhat not on the table, such as Taobao, a new platform with a clear model positioning makes him very recognized.
However, he didn't think of Taobao and Liu Qiaodong together, not that he looked down on or looked down on Liu Qiaodong, mainly because Liu Qidong has been too low-key in front of him, according to his usual description, he seems to be still in the difficult entrepreneurial stage, and the team is not mature.
Moreover, from last night to now, Chen Tong has always sympathized with Liu Qiaodong, just sold all his industries, and was ready to start a business in the field of Internet e-commerce, and as a result, he killed such a powerful enemy as Taobao.
He is very aware of the background of Taobao, with the support of YY and Yiting.com, and the full support of Alipay, a fool can see the close connection between Taobao and Muye Technology, so he instinctively feels that Liu Qidong may have a hard time this time.
According to the address given by Liu Qiaodong, Chen Tong drove his Shenlong Fukang to the downstairs of the Taobao office, and Liu Qidong was already waiting for him in the parking lot.
Chen Tong got out of the car, and Liu Qidong hurriedly stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "Oh, Senior Brother Chen, you can be regarded as here." ”
Chen Tong looked at Liu Qidong with some surprise, and always felt that in his own expectations, Liu Qidong should not be this kind of performance, he seemed too happy, not at all the kind of sighing and melancholy and low that he expected, not that he wanted to see his jokes, but the facts were in front of him, and he would be extremely depressed if he was himself, how could he be so happy?
After a few polite words to Liu Qidong, Chen Tong followed him to the elevator room and asked him tentatively: "Qidong, how is the current situation of your company?"
"That's good. Liu Qidong said with a smile: "The company's operation is still very good. ”
Chen Tong was even more puzzled.
But Chen Tong didn't want to ask in detail, so he didn't continue the topic, but said to Liu Qidong: "I prepared a PPT today, but I've been busy at work recently, and the PPT preparation is in a hurry, don't mind if there is anything imperfect." ”
Liu Qidong said with a smile: "Senior Brother Chen, you are polite, I am already very honored that you can come over to train these young people in the control of Internet content, even if there is no PPT, you just chat with them and teach them some useful things, I will be satisfied." ”
Chen Tong smiled slightly: "I will do my best." ”
Following Liu Qidong all the way upstairs, and after coming all the way to the door of Taobao, Chen Tong was instantly speechless by the huge and eye-catching company name.
"Yanjing Taobao Network Technology Co., Ltd."
Isn't this Taobao?
Chen Tongsilly stood at the door of Taobao.com, looked at Liu Qidong dumbfounded, and asked in surprise: "Qidong, you said that you are starting an e-commerce website, is it Taobao?"
Seeing him stunned at the moment, Liu Qidong felt a little guilty in his heart, he didn't want to hide it from him, after all, he was his senior brother, Liu Qidong didn't have any ill thoughts about him, but he wanted to help Li Mu poach Chen Tong, so he made this decision and deliberately concealed it, wanting to destroy his self-confidence and the arrogance of the literati to a certain extent, only in this way could he break his shackles and let him get a new life.
So, Liu Qidong smiled apologetically and said: "I'm sorry brother, the matter of Taobao needs to be kept secret before, so I didn't tell you too much detail, and the matter of training is set for today, and it is also because I have an agreement with the major shareholder, and I will be able to disclose my relationship with Taobao after Taobao is launched......"
Although Chen Tong was still in shock, he also nodded in understanding when he heard Liu Qidong say this, they all worked hard all the way, and he also knew the confidentiality agreement and the non-compete agreement very well.
However, Chen Tong no longer had the faint arrogance he had before, but unconsciously had a sense of unconfidence.
Although Sina has already been listed on the NASDAQ and is considered to be the top Internet company in China, people who have a more senior understanding of the Internet know that the bottleneck of Sina's future development is very large, and there is no clear business and profit model, and it is difficult to improve its recognition in the capital market.
But Taobao is different, Taobao is a brand new platform, a platform that can shock the Internet industry overnight, the first night of the launch, from eight o'clock to 12 o'clock in four hours, Taobao has traded more than 500,000 orders, sales reached nearly 70 million, this data is simply jaw-dropping Internet people in this era.
In addition, Taobao's background and resources are very strong, and the industry is very optimistic about the future of Taobao, and now he wants to train the Internet for the members of this team, which makes him a little worried.
At this time, Liu Qidong also saw Chen Tongxin's worry, and couldn't help but say: "Senior brother, to tell the truth, most of the members of the Taobao operation team are newcomers, and their understanding of the Internet really needs to be deepened, and you should be able to guess our relationship with Makino Technology, our technical team is indeed very outstanding because of its strong Makino genes, so the strength is indeed outstanding, so that the gap between the operation team under my hand is too big, and it is inevitable that some chains will be dropped. ”
Hearing this, Chen Tong's heart calmed down a little, not that he admired vanity, but mainly because he didn't want to make jokes about getting axes or misleading people's children, and Liu Qidong said this, he also understood his current situation, the level ratio between various departments of the company is indeed very important, if the operation team is strong, the technical team is weak, or the technical team is strong, If the company's leadership is not decisive enough, the company may eventually fall into endless internal friction, and if the leadership is decisive, it will immediately cut off the relatively weak team and replace it with a stronger team.
So Chen Tong took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then let's go according to the plan, and I'll try to say some of my own understanding." ”
Liu Qidong hurriedly thanked him and said, "I told you, I trained in the big conference room at four o'clock in the afternoon, and now I still have some time, why don't you sit in my office for a while?"
Chen Tong nodded, he did have a lot of questions to ask Liu Qidong, but he also had to find a relatively private environment.
The two came to Liu Qiaodong's office, and Chen Tong found out that Liu Qiaodong's title in Taobao turned out to be the general manager.
When he entered the company, Chen Tong couldn't help but ask him: "Dongdong, how can you cooperate with Makino Technology?"
Liu Qidong scratched his head and smiled: "Senior brother, I won't tell you, brother, I am also hugging my thighs." ”
As he spoke, Liu Qidong asked him: "Do you know the founder of Makino Technology?"
Chen Tong nodded: "I know, Li Muma, the young man who founded 3321." ”
"That's right. Liu Qidong said: "Li Mu is still studying in our National People's Congress, not yet a sophomore, I met him at the end of last year, inspired and stimulated by him, I feel that selling optical magnetism in Zhongguancun is too unpromising, so I am ready to try to find some projects on the Internet, Li Mu found me, said that he is willing to cooperate with me to do something, you say, I have no money and no experience, people are willing to cooperate with me, I am not equivalent to being hit by a pie falling from the sky?"
Chen Tong nodded again and again after listening, Li Mu took the initiative to cooperate with Liu Qidong, so for Liu Qidong, it was not only hit by a pie falling from the sky, but also being hit by a gold ingot falling from the sky.
The gap between Li Mu and Liu Qiaodong's strength in this life is still very large, but the gap is mainly because the former is too strong, and Li Mu is willing to cooperate with Liu Qiaodong, which is equivalent to Schumacher taking the initiative to find Lin Zhiying to team up to brush the F1 copy.
Liu Qidong continued: "Li Mu said at the time to do e-commerce, I don't know anything about e-commerce, and I am still a layman after a winter. ”
Chen Tong asked curiously: "You partner with Li Mu to make Taobao, how many shares does he give you?"
Liu Qidong said frankly: "The investment ratio is 9:1, the share ratio is 8:2, and I account for 20%. ”
Chen Tong's eyes almost fell off.
20%? What kind of concept is this? Was Li Mu kicked in the head by a donkey? Even if he wanted to recruit Liu Qiaodong, he didn't need to come up with such a high proportion of shares, right? After all, Liu Qidong was just a self-employed person in Zhongguancun before, and even if Li Mu was very optimistic about him, there was no need to do so.
It's not that Chen Tong looks down on Liu Qiaodong, it's just that he thinks about the problem based on the reality in front of him, Liu Qiaodong really hasn't had the opportunity to show his strong strength, and in terms of the objective judgment standard of the Internet, Liu Qidong is definitely not worthy of Li Mu's share ratio.
Looking at the share structure of Sina's core layer, Chen Tong's own share proportion is pitiful, and he can't even use percentages to calculate, only how many shares can be used as a counting marker, and there are strict restrictions on cashing out, even almost harsh, compared with Liu Qiaodong, his own treatment is simply compared to Lin Zhiying and Schumacher's driving skills, how to compare it well? How to compare it is full of embarrassment......
