In August 2009, for China's Internet industry, the biggest limelight of the month was not the establishment of Sina Weibo, nor the third round of financing held by JD.com, as for Tencent's acquisition of YY, it had to be pushed to last month. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In August, the most limelight was undoubtedly the Yuzu second-hand car website launched by Yuzu Technology Company.

Jointly with a number of portals, video sites, social forums, and even traditional TV advertisements, newspapers and magazines, a vigorous propaganda war was launched.

Under this overwhelming publicity, everyone understands that Yuzu Technology is menacing and may open up a new industry.

Investors with Xu Xin as an example have also paid attention to the Yuzu second-hand car website.

Although Yuzu is also engaged in Internet cars, it is obvious that his business model is completely different from that of today's leading boss - Autohome.

One is mainly based on content provision, and the other is a complete combination of content and offline products.

The latter can be regarded as an alternative Taobao and Jingdong.

The achievements of Taobao are obvious to all, and the potential of JD.com has also been reflected in the third round of huge financing.

If the Yuzu second-hand car website does well and reaches more than half of the level of Taobao and Jingdong, then the investment in it will get an unimaginable return!

This is from the perspective of an investor, but from the perspective of an entrepreneur.

There are already many bigwigs who have funds in hand but can't find entrepreneurial projects, and they have set their sights on the field of second-hand cars.

The president of Sina.com approached Peng Shaobing and asked for details about Yuzu Technology, because Peng Shaobing was the first person in Sina Group to cooperate with Yuzu Technology.

"President, is the group planning to attack the automotive industry?"

"There is such an idea, after all, this market seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is still very blank, and there are no people who really do it, Autohome's achievements are limited, their offline channels are too weak, and their annual profits are too small. ”

"It takes a lot of money, right?"

"Money is not the problem, the problem is how to spend the money, if this time the pomelo is successful, then it means that this path is feasible. With our strength, it's easy to crush them. ”

Peng Shaobing said hesitantly: "Actually, I am also short of money on Weibo, why don't you give me some more?"

The president of Sina glanced at him, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Wait for three months, let's see how Weibo develops!"

Peng Shaobing sat depressedly in the office, the president had already left, but he was a little absent-minded.

Weibo was born out of Sina Blog, in the final analysis, it is still not taken seriously by the top!

Thinking of this, he clicked on Weibo again, and subconsciously entered the Weibo personal homepage of the CEO of Hengcheng Group.

However, when he saw the dense comments and comments under the video reposted by that person, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"In just one day, so many people poured in!"

Autohome, Qin Zhiyuan, who served as the general manager, knocked on the door of the office of President Li Xiang with an angry face.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with Mr. Qin?"

The once familiar title of Brother Qin is gone, and only the impersonal Mr. Qin remains.

Qin Zhiyuan's cheeks twitched, but he didn't think much about it.

He understood that since he revealed that he wanted to replace Li Xiang's position, Li Xiang would not have the same respect for himself as before.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Zhiyuan asked, "Did you agree to let the video of Yuzu be hung on the homepage of our website?"

Li Xiang smiled playfully, spread his hands, and sat on the boss's chair with a big grin.

"yes, is there a problem?"

"Of course there is a problem!" Qin Zhiyuan was furious, "They are all making cars, although they are making second-hand car content, but they are also in competition with us, and they will be diverted from our website!"

"Competition?"

Li Xiang shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "You have to figure it out, Yuzu Technology also has a stake in our company, and their boss is still a shareholder of Autohome." Therefore, this should be more of a partnership, how can it be called competition. ”

Qin Zhiyuan looked stunned, and then he reacted, when Lu Heng agreed to let Autohome take a stake in Yuzu Technology, he may have this idea.

Drain the traffic from the Auto House!

At that time, he hadn't thought about it so much, but at this moment, in Li Xiang's banter, he suddenly woke up.

That young man, what a deep scheming, such a long-term plan!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Qin Zhiyuan took a deep breath and said the true purpose of his coming.

"Li Xiang, do you think it is a good idea to rely on the advantages of our website to build an affiliated second-hand car website?"

Although the relationship has deteriorated, Li Xiang still agrees with Qin Zhiyuan's work ability.

Hearing his proposal at this time, Li Xiang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "It's a bit of a trick!"

Qin Zhiyuan's spirit perked up, "Why don't you set up the project directly, anyway, we have technology, talents, and more resources than the pomelo company, and it won't take much time to build a website." When the time comes, we can catch up with them and overtake!"

Li Xiang looked at him deeply, then shook his head.

"What, can't you?" Qin Zhiyuan asked anxiously.

Li Xiang sneered, "As long as you make that website, you will be a competitor of the Yuzu second-hand car website, and I can't explain it to Lu Heng if you do this!"

As soon as he heard Li Xiang's answer full of private emotions, Qin Zhiyuan was completely stunned.

After a while, he lost his voice in disbelief: "Just because of this, are you from the perspective of our website, or from Lu Heng's point of view?"

Li Xiang's expression darkened, and then he looked at Qin Zhiyuan without timidity.

Lu Heng is my friend, and Yuzu Technology is a partner of Autohome, and when we saw that they showed signs of fire, we immediately followed suit, this is not moral, do you understand!"

Qin Zhiyuan laughed angrily, "I think you should be more from the perspective of the CEO of Autohome! The company's development is more important than everything, and now that there is a good breakthrough, you actually refused because of your personal relationship." Forgive me for not agreeing with you, I'll tell the big shareholder about this and let him decide!"

When the words fell, Qin Zhiyuan shook his hand and left.

Li Xiang sat on the soft boss's chair with a gloomy expression.

With Telstra's absolute control of Autohome, although he successfully retained the position of CEO at the last shareholders' meeting, all aspects of power were still invisibly weakened.

Once upon a time, Qin Zhiyuan dared to speak to himself like this?

Ten fingers clenched, nails pierced into the flesh, Li Xiang looked up at the ceiling.

"Just hold on for a while!"

.......

The existence of Internet leaders such as Sina.com and Autohome will more or less pay attention to the second-hand car field operated by Yuzu Technology, and they will be excited.

After all, in foreign countries, used cars are already a mature market, which proves his viability.

However, the domestic market is barren, and Yuzu Technology is just a pioneer.

But that doesn't mean he's going to be the winner.

There are already countless people who are gearing up to follow the example of the grapefruit second-hand car website and set up their own second-hand car website.

In this regard, Lu Heng, who seems to be ignorant and ignorant, is in Chongqing, if he is let know, he will never show the fear and worry that others think.

Competition, he is never afraid!

Especially when he has already taken the lead, he has the confidence to defeat as much as he comes.

Perhaps, only the following trend of Autohome will make him feel a little flustered, after all, it has always been a good partner.

At this moment, Lu Heng looked at Xue Mingxing's excited, but tired face on the video call, and frowned.

"Didn't you stop working overtime last night?"
