Chapter 287 - Prepare for the establishment of an online mall
Xu Qing looked at these wolf-like eyes, and could only tell them a cruel message: none of Xu Qing's companies will be listed this year.
That's a sad message.
The reason why these people want Xu Qing's company to go public as soon as possible is also to buy a large number of them when the valuation is relatively low.
Otherwise, when the valuation of Xu Qing's companies is very high, if you want to buy it at that time, you will have to spend more money.
Of course, Xu Qing knows the thoughts of these people, except that he really wants to make the valuation of his company higher before going public.
Another reason is that it is listed too often and the limelight is too much, although Xu Qing's companies will be in the limelight no matter how long they are listed, but the limelight can be as small as possible.
Seeing off the guests, Xu Qing went to the conference room on the second floor, where he would wait until 12 noon before leaving the New York Stock Exchange.
Xu Qing wanted to see the stock price of Extraordinary Company at 12 noon, and it felt even more wonderful to see it with his own eyes.
U.S. stocks do not take a break at noon, but trading at noon is generally deserted.
The stock price at 12 noon usually fluctuates until after 2 p.m.
Of course, Xu Qing will not wait in the conference room, it is now more than 10:50, and there is still more than 1 hour before 12 noon, Xu Qing took the opportunity to have a meeting with several executives of the company.
Because several of the executives are from the Future Group, the content of the meeting is also related to the Future Group.
Now the future group mainly has three products: future community, ff instant messaging software, and extraordinary browser.
There is also future navigation, and the future music website is two websites with a relatively small number of users.
Future Group's products are not too much, not too little, compared to Microsoft, the products are less, and more than other Internet companies.
Now the Future Group can be said to be the second largest Internet company in the world, and the first is naturally Microsoft.
Originally, AOL was the second largest Internet company, but now they have been replaced by the future group.
In fact, the current Internet companies are not very large, except for Microsoft, after all, the Internet has only begun to explode in the past two years, and the number of Internet users is not very large.
Future Group's current position as the world's second largest Internet company does not mean that it will be able to sit firmly in the future.
No, Future Group's goal is not to sit on the second largest Internet company, but to become the world's largest Internet company.
But this goal is difficult to achieve, in addition to Microsoft, a big enemy, other strong enemies will be born in the next few years.
For example, Amazon will be born today in July.
Amazon's market capitalization is higher than Microsoft's, and its founder, bald uncle Jeff Bezos, has become the richest man in the world.
Then 1998 will give birth to the even more terrifying Google company.
Xu Qing never thought of strangling these companies in advance, because if they were killed, other giant-level Internet companies would be born.
The U.S. government will not allow Xu Qing's Internet company to dominate alone, and will inevitably support other Internet companies.
Just like the relationship between Intel and AMD, Intel has had countless opportunities to strangle AMD, but none of them have done it.
The reason is simple, Intel needs AMD to avoid antitrust laws.
With such a big and important market on the Internet, there are destined to be many giants, and one will never be allowed to dominate.
Therefore, it is better to kill Amazon and Google, it is better to watch them grow and compete with them.
At least Xu Qing is familiar with these companies, otherwise it will kill them, and it will be a bit troublesome for the newly born Internet giant Xu Qing to be unfamiliar.
The purpose of today's meeting is to let the top managers of the Future Group not be carried away by the glory of the listing of extraordinary companies, and continue to do a good job.
The Future Group is still far from being truly brilliant, and now the Future Group is running into a lot of problems.
Future Group is preparing to build an online mall, and developing an online mall website is simple, but getting it up and running is difficult.
Online shopping malls involve two very complex links: commodities and logistics.
Whether the future group's mall is mainly self-operated products or third-party products is a question that can be debated for a long time.
Whether logistics is self-built logistics or finding a third-party cooperative logistics is another issue that can be debated for a long time.
These two questions have not yet come to a conclusion, and Xu Qing has not been able to make up his mind for a long time.
The mall based on self-operated goods can refer to Jingdong in the original time and space, which has developed very successfully.
The mall, which is dominated by third-party goods, can refer to Taobao in the original time and space, and it has also developed successfully.
It is not possible for the Future Group to develop both types of online stores at the same time, so it has to choose one or the other.
The respective advantages and disadvantages of the two, Xu Qing and these executives are very clear,
Prior to today, Xu Qing had already held several meetings with the management of Future Group to discuss this issue.
Xu Qing held a meeting today to end this issue and choose one of the modes.
Traditionally, these managers speak their minds first, with about half of the proponents of the two online mall models.
Xu Qing thought about it for a long time and made a final decision to choose the B2C model, which is the model of JD.com.
In addition to the advantages of the B2C model itself, there is also an important reason why Amazon in the original time and space is also a B2C model.
Amazon's B2C model has been a huge success, which shows that the B2C model works in Europe, the United States and Japan.
Xu Qing made a decision, and these people stopped discussing and began to carry out Xu Qing's orders.
The B2C model will encounter many more problems in the early stage than the C2C model (Taobao model), which requires building warehouses throughout the United States to store goods and establishing its own logistics.
These are many problematic tasks, and it takes not only a lot of money but also a lot of manpower to solve them, so it will be very smooth to be able to initially establish an online mall this year.
Of course, this is also Xu Qing's high requirements, if like the early Amazon, there are only some simple goods and third-party logistics, this year's future group's online mall can be launched.
Xu Qing's requirement is that as soon as the online mall is launched, the variety of goods is not much worse than that of Wal-Mart, and the speed of logistics can reach all parts of the United States within 3 days.
Xu Qing's requirements are really high, and these people feel that the online mall may not be able to be launched next year.
Xu Qing is not in a hurry, people nowadays do not have the habit of online shopping, and physical shopping has an absolute advantage.
If you want people to have the habit of shopping online, at least in the 21st century, Xu Qing can give Future Group a few years to prepare for the establishment of an online mall.
After the meeting, the time was 11:47 a.m., and it was soon 12 noon.
Xu Qing and his entourage came to the hall on the first floor, the hall that was crowded before, now there are only a few scattered shareholders, and most of the shareholders have gone to lunch.
After waiting for a few minutes, it was 12 o'clock at noon, Xu Qing looked up at the big screen, and the stock price of the extraordinary company displayed on the big screen at this time was beyond Xu Qing's expectations.
