Chapter 639: Ants and Elephants
The two cousins came to talk, and first they had to settle for a place to live.
At present, Baike already has more than 800 houses in the capital.
As the saying goes, running water does not rot and the hub does not beetle.
The same is true of the house, it cannot be idle, it must be maintained from time to time, otherwise it will be easy to break.
Except for more than a dozen sets of standard courtyards with three entrances, four entrances, and five entrances, which are regularly cleaned and guarded, the others are all rented.
The annual rent alone is more than 10 million.
These more than 800 houses are white, and they can't tell which is which.
Thanks to the help of the old hat father and son.
A ledger was also set up.
How many square meters of which house, in what location, the current rental status, how much rent and so on.
It's all vivid.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about this matter.
Let the little hat lead the sisters to choose.
β¦β¦
At the end of 2003, on the Laba Festival, Zhuojie.com and Taobei.com launched a secret war.
Several other shopping websites, such as Dangdang, 8848, eBay, etc., have become eye-catching.
On the surface, it looks like Zhuojie has won.
From Laba Festival to Xiao Nian'er.
Zhuojie.com's sales were 26 billion, and Taobei's sales were 7.5 billion.
But the volume of the two is not at the same level at all.
Taobei is like a newborn baby.
Zhuojie.com is already a mature teenager.
Or boxing.
Zhuojie.com is heavyweight.
Taobei is barely a flyweight.
And valuation.
Zhuojie.com's current valuation has reached $40 billion.
Taobei can't even reach $5 billion.
If the sales of Zhuojie.com cannot exceed 10 times that of Taobei.com.
Even if it's a loss.
Gao Yang, Jevons, and Su Xiaohua were very annoyed.
The white guest is secretly cool.
That's so boring.
There must be competition, and only with competition can there be development.
As a born-again.
Of course, Baike knows that Taobei will become more and more popular, and will even become the largest shopping network in the Celestial Empire.
But in this life, Bai Ke has made up his mind.
Zhuojie.com, which he personally leads, is bound to compete with Taobei.com.
Although Baike is the majority shareholder of Taobei.com.
Taobei won, and Baike also won.
Emotionally speaking, Baike is more inclined to Zhuojie.com.
Because Zhuojie.com is dominated by white customers.
It's like a seedling planted with your own hands, watching it grow over the years.
Of course I want to see him win.
As long as it's not a lie win or a sitting win.
For the success of Taobei.
The white guest chalked him down to opportunity and ability.
The timing of Taobei's launch is just right.
During the SARS period, people's enthusiasm for online shopping was fully mobilized.
Taobei happened to step in.
At the same time, the rise of Taobei.com, Jack Ma has made great contributions.
Jackma is indeed one of the talented people who has both the talent and the amount of tolerance.
In ancient times, it can also be called a generation of heroes.
But think about it now.
Taobei.com can develop, and those ant-like merchants have contributed even more.
They have greatly exerted their ingenuity in their business activities.
For example, the title "pro" was invented by the small merchants of Taobei.com.
Later, it was promoted to various shopping websites.
There are also a lot of people-friendly services, discount promotions, and so on.
It was also invented by small merchants.
It can be said that Taobei is a brainstorming website.
Jack Horse grows a lot of leeks, and the ultimatum is harvested.
Keep those ideas, those little ideas for themselves.
How can an elephant beat a group of hardworking and intelligent ants?
"I have a suggestion. β
At the conference, Gao Yang said.
"Tell me about it," Bai Ke nodded.
"I suggest that we bring in external businesses for our website as well. β
"Like Taobei?" asked Su Xiaohua.
"When we introduce high-quality merchants, they must be brand stores. β
Jevons agrees: "I think it's good, because it can quickly increase traffic." β
"But how do you charge?"
"I suggest that there be no charge for the time being. β
"Isn't that cheap for them?"
There was a lot of talk.
But the white guest smiled.
"Great idea! What we need most right now is traffic. We have to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to expand our own products. Wouldn't it be better to let the manufacturers expand their products themselves?"
Gao Yang continued: "And we basically don't have to pay for them to come to our website to open a store." Of course, if they use our logistics, warehousing or something, we still have to charge them. β
Jevons nodded: "When our traffic stabilizes in the future, it's not too late to charge them." β
Everyone talked excitedly.
Baike said: "Traffic is indeed our top priority at the moment. Bringing in merchants in stores is indeed a good idea, which will greatly increase traffic and attract consumers. Do you have any other ideas?"
Everyone discussed it for a while.
Jevons said, "I think our website has done a good job of stabilizing regular customers. But there's also something you need to do to attract new customers. β
"Well, that makes sense, can we have a first order reduction or something?"
"I think so!"
"It's really okay, let's get out of the way, and we will take it as propaganda. β
"Now prepare, when we wait for Women's Day, let's have the first order reduction!"
"Yes, yes, on Women's Day, women comrades have a high status. β
"Haha, yes, yes, it's 38 after Laba. β
Bai Ke sighed: "Isn't it a bit unpleasant? Women? The main force of online shopping is young women. They don't seem to like being called women. β
"That's called Girls' Day......"
"Isn't that a little too naΓ―ve?"
"What about Women's Day?"
"It doesn't feel good either. β
"Let's call it Goddess Day. β
"Well, tentatively this. β
After the policy was determined, Gao Yang led the executives to start implementing it.
First of all, the introduction of manufacturers.
Zhuojie.com has a huge influence at the moment.
Far beyond the average mall department store.
So, as soon as the news came out.
Various well-known brand manufacturers are competing to apply.
Gao Yang led his subordinates to examine it in detail.
Manufacturers imported from outside are bound to have some problems.
Because if there is a quality problem with the products of the outside manufacturer, or if there is a consumer dispute.
Consumers can only blame Zhuojie.com.
Zhuojie.com doesn't earn a penny, and it makes a fuss.
Doesn't that make a big loss?
Jevons said: "Simply, the payment for consumer shopping is put into our account first, and we call the manufacturer regularly. β
Su Xiaohua shook his head: "What's the difference between that and our own business?
Someone else suggested: "It's good to deduct a little deposit from the manufacturer." β
Another person said: "How much buckle is better? It's better to charge them store fees if you deduct too much. β
Gao Yang sighed: "Let's learn Taobei, the money will be paid to our account first, as long as the consumer agrees to pay, and then call the manufacturer." β
"What if the consumer doesn't want to give?"
"Don't be afraid, let's set a deadline. There is no other reason for the consumer to fail to pay after the deadline. Let's pay the money directly to the manufacturer. β
"Let's establish a credit system to score both consumers and manufacturers. β
"Well, just learn the methods of Taobei.com. β
