In the conference room of Zhuojie.com, Bai Ke, Zhao Huaiyu, Gao Yang, Jevons, Su Xiaohua and other executives were in a meeting.

Everyone was fiddling with an e-paper book in their hands.

Zhao Huaiyu, Su Xiaohua and others all showed surprise on their faces.

Bai Ke frowned and looked at it: "What is the pricing?"

Gao Yang: "It's more than 800 yuan." ”

"It's a bit expensive......"

Executives are talking.

Zhao Huaiyu said: "We can send books, send e-books, and download them directly here." ”

Su Xiaohua nodded: "I think it's okay, our e-book costs 2 to 5 yuan a book." If you send dozens of books, it is still very cost-effective for readers. ”

Bai Ke said: "An old bookworm like Lao Zhao will definitely like it, and ordinary readers may not be easy to accept." ”

Jevons also said: "Yes, there are too many pirated books on the Internet now, and it is too easy to obtain resources, and everyone is not willing to spend money, let alone spend 800 yuan to buy an e-paper book." ”

Zhao Huaiyu didn't care: "Those who really like to read, they are willing to spend this money." As for those who watch pirated copies, they are not really readers. We don't have to count on them to consume either. ”

Bai Ke lowered his head and gestured twice on the screen: "Is this ten inches?"

"9.7 inches. ”

Su Xiaohua said: "It's a little older for us girls. ”

"Well, there are still 6-inch ones, and the samples haven't come out yet. ”

"There is also this screen-to-body ratio, and I will also find a way to make it bigger. This position is up and down, left and right, enough to enlarge the thumb. ”

"Okay, I'll let them study it again. ”

Zhao Huaiyu was full of ambition: "Strive for the launch of the Laba Festival in 2004." ”

"It should be fine. ”

Bai Ke thought of an important question: "How do you put those electronic books in?"

Gao Yang was a little surprised, but still patiently explained: "Use a data cable to transfer from the computer here." ”

Jevons said: "Actually, you can design a USB port, and you can also transfer it with a USB stick. ”

"Well, you can think about it. ”

Su Xiaohua said: "A USB drive costs seven or eight hundred yuan, which is about the same as the price of e-paper books, and it is estimated that there are not many people who are really willing to use it. ”

Bai Ke sighed: "It's a pity that we can't access the Internet ...... wirelessly"

The others looked at each other, not understanding what Bai Ke was saying.

Because at the moment, there are still very few people who know about wireless Internet access, which is IFI.

Jevons obviously knew, and he nodded: "Actually, IFI technology has been developed in Australia, but we still lack the hardware foundation at the moment." In addition, 3G Internet access has also been successfully developed, and there is also a lack of hardware support. So, I'm afraid we'll have to wait a few years. ”

Bai Ke remembered that Lei Jun said that pigs at the tuyere can fly.

It's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's really important to go with the flow.

Even a prophet like Bai Ke can't change the status quo on his own.

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are the same, they can't be ahead of the times.

There is another important reason why new technologies are difficult to promote.

At present, the speed of scientific and technological development of the Celestial Empire is at least 5 years slower than that of Europe and the United States.

Europe has begun to lay 3G equipment, and the Celestial Empire is still hovering at 2G.

The United States is already experimenting with IFI, and most places in the Celestial Empire still dial up the Internet.

However, in 2008, when the number of netizens in the Celestial Empire caught up with the United States, the situation began to change greatly.

The Celestial Empire will not only catch up with Europe and the United States, but even surpass them in some respects.

For example, when Europeans and Americans are still swiping credit cards.

The people of the Celestial Empire have begun to brush their mobile phones and faces.

……

After eleven, Jackma suddenly came to Zhuojie.com.

Right now, Jackma's biggest rival is eBay.

A few months ago, eBay was taken over by eBay.

Jack Ma couldn't help but panic.

"Mr. Bai, we can consider cooperating......"

"Cooperation? Our business formats are completely different, how can we cooperate?"

"For example, sharing business and customer information or something......"

"Merchants, where do we have any merchants? Our Zhuojie network is self-procuring and self-selling. As for customer information, we can't share it with others, isn't that an invasion of customer privacy?"

"This ......," Jackma looked embarrassed.

Bai Ke patted him on the shoulder: "Your biggest opponent at the moment is eBay, right?"

"That's right, I wasn't afraid of them before, but now they're joining forces......"

Bai Ke smiled: "Then what do you think are your advantages compared to them?"

"They charge and we do it free. ”

"You can't be free all the time, what do you make money on?"

"Advertising. ”

"I'll go, you little pop-up ads are just hooligans. It's not an advantage, it's a disadvantage, big brother. People eBay is clean and never pops up small windows. ”

"And ......"

Jack Ma racked his brains and thought.

"Let me ask you again, what do you think people care about most about when shopping online?"

"Of course, it's about buying cheap, good, genuine things. ”

"Can you Taobei do it?"

"This ......"

"It's either Kang Shuaifu or a doll, and it's not a big white free toffee. You're still genuine, what are you bragging about?"

"You get what you pay for, and customers know what they're buying. ”

"In fact, the current shopping netizens are not demanding, and they hope that the money for their own purchases will not be wasted. ”

"Yes, you're right. ”

"On a website like ours, netizens don't have anything to worry about, they really don't worry about it, and they can pay on delivery. You are different, you are all self-employed. They took the money and ran away, where can I find them?"

"yes, so ......"

"So, you're designing a third-party payment system right now. ”

"I can't hide it from you......"

"Hmph! This is your best weapon, and you came to me and cried poorly. ”

"It's not a good weapon, eBay has something similar, and eBay will use it sooner or later. ”

"But what is their business type? They are just a bunch of people who put their idle items up for auction, like a flea market. ”

"That's right. ”

"You're a bazaar, and you're bringing in self-employed people to sell things. So can you both have the same cash flow?"

"Well, our cash flow should be a lot bigger than theirs. But this cash is only temporarily placed with us, and we can't move it......"

"You're pretending to be confused, even if the customer's money is lying in your account for a day, you can make a profit from it. ”

"Hehe, it's just a small profit......"

Bai Ke patted Jack Ma on the shoulder: "Big brother, don't pretend, with the secret weapon of Fubao, you will definitely be able to defeat eBay, you will find ways to expand traffic now." ”

"Well, Mr. Bai Ji Yan! However, there is one more thing I want to discuss with Mr. Bai......

"Say it. ”

"In terms of logistics express, you know we don't have our own logistics express. ”

"Hehe, this is the real purpose of your visit this time. ”

"How can there be ......" Jackma was a little embarrassed.

"No problem, our current logistics express system was also established by you at the beginning. You can share what you need. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Bai. ”

"However, our couriers also have to eat, and the related costs are not less. ”

"Well! ”
