Chapter 326 - Mention the founder of Yiche

"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai?"

Xiao Jun's voice woke up General Bai Ningyuan from his contemplation just now.

Bai Ningyuan subconsciously raised his head, looking at Li Bin, who was staring at him at this time, and suddenly showed a somewhat apologetic look on his face: "I'm sorry, I was thinking about things just now, you go on!"

The first day of the summit forum has ended, and in the evening, in a restaurant next to the Peninsula Hotel, Bai Ningyuan, Xiao Jun and Li Bin of Yiche.com sat face to face.

Li Bin and Xiao Jun are both alumni of Beijing University, so they are quite familiar with each other, and it is precisely because of this relationship that I heard that Xiao Jun's company has been acquired by Bai Ningyuan, and Xiao Jun's inadvertently revealed about Bai Ningyuan's purpose of participating in this summit forum, Li Bin thought about it and offered to invite Bai Ningyuan and Xiao Jun to dinner.

However, it seems that from the beginning, Bai Ningyuan has always looked contemplative, although he also said a few words to himself from time to time, but most of the time he was silent, especially when he was talking about the situation of Yiche, which couldn't help but make Li Bin a little dissatisfied.

Even if you are an investor, you should respect me!

However, after hearing Bai Ningyuan's apologetic words, Li Bin put aside the annoyance in his heart for the time being, after all, Bai Ningyuan in front of him may be the future investor, not to mention Bai Ningyuan's heartfelt apology just now, which can be regarded as giving him face, so after seeing Bai Ningyuan make a serious listening appearance, he explained again.

Since March 00, the NASDAQ index, represented by technology stocks, has fallen from a high level, plummeted, and the dot-com bubble burst. The global Internet industry has entered a cold winter, and the "domino" effect has driven the overall decline of the IT industry, and the market is in a downturn. Under the circumstances, the major shareholder of Yiche.com did not want to continue to burn money and proposed to withdraw its capital. At the end of 2001, Li Bintong took out a personal loan and returned all the money to the investor, obtaining 100% ownership of the company.

By '02, the number of employees in the company had dropped sharply from 80 to a minimum of 7. Li Bin and his few remaining partners moved the company to a civilian apartment without an elevator. I finally survived for a year, and there was no money to pay wages for half of the year.

Until now, Li Bin is still holding on, but at this time, Yiche has deviated from the track planned at the beginning of the business, and what to make money and do has become the concept that Li Bin has struggled to support in recent years.

If it weren't for the tenacity of not admitting defeat, Li Bin would have given up a long time ago.

A large part of the business done between Chinese people is done at the wine table, which is why Li Bin has to invite Bai Ningyuan and Xiao Jun to dinner regardless of the fact that he is financially constrained, although the environment of the restaurant is relatively ordinary, but for Li Bin, who is shy in his pocket, it is already a very luxurious thing.

"The main reason for the company's problems before was that the company was established too early and did not step on the point, because at that time, the car had not really entered the Chinese family. In 2001, Huaxia sold about 800,000 cars, which were still dominated by public vehicles. Owning a private car is a dream for most Chinese people, so seeing this market does not mean that it will be able to grow immediately, it will take time to ......"

"However, in my opinion, it will not take too long, that is, a year or two, with the development of the economy and the progress of science and technology and industry, Huaxia will really enter the era of 'private car consumption', according to my prediction, in the next one to two years, the proportion of private consumption in the annual sales of Huaxia automobiles will increase from about 30% in 2001 to about 70%...... Li Bin continued to talk eloquently to Bai Ningyuan, constantly throwing out his own views one after another, trying to explain how broad the future automobile market is, and how bright the future prospects of investing in his website will be!

Bai Ningyuan was distracted before, completely because he was thinking about the layout of the mobile phone industry, which involves a large market and layout in the future, so he couldn't help but think about it seriously, but after Xiao Jun's reminder, he still temporarily pressed his thoughts and turned his attention to Li Bin in front of him.

Speaking from the heart, Bai Ningyuan is actually not very interested in Yiche's investment, after all, the connection between this website and his future layout is really limited, at most, it can guide some public opinion in the future of Aimp electric vehicles.

"Okay, having said so much, I already know what Mr. Li means......" After Li Bin finished speaking, Bai Ningyuan finally found an opportunity and spoke.

Although Bai Ningyuan is not very old, even Xiao Jun looks polite to him, Li Bin naturally does not dare to have any contempt for him, not to mention, Bai Ningyuan, who is serious at this time, still has a bit of momentum with a calm face.

"To tell you the truth, I'm not very interested in Mr. Li's website, but you and Brother Xiao are also old acquaintances, and you're right, the future auto market will indeed flourish at a very high rate, so it's not impossible to invest......" Bai Ningyuan glanced at Li Bin, who was looking at him with blank eyes, and then said slowly.

began to hear Bai Ningyuan's words, Li Bin's eyes couldn't help but bring a little disappointed, but at the end, he couldn't help but speed up his heartbeat, and his eager eyes stared at Bai Ningyuan.

Facing Li Bin's eager gaze, Bai Ningyuan paused slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "But Mr. Li, don't have too much hope, even if it is an investment, the scale will not be too big, and I think you need to figure out a few questions......

Hearing this, Li Bin was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Bai Ningyuan with a puzzled expression, it was obvious that he, a middle-aged man in his 30s, was actually instructed by a young man who was less than 20 years old, and he personally felt a little angry.

However, Bai Ningyuan didn't pay attention to his disbelief at all, but asked Li Bin by himself: "In order to repay foreign debts and survive the Internet winter, you can say that you have done everything, just like you said, what to make money and do what, but in my opinion, this is the biggest mistake, that is, what is the website you want to make yourself, what is its positioning!" If you can't determine the positioning, you can't determine the core business and characteristics of the website, without these, the website wants to develop, it's just a fantasy!"

When he said this, Bai Ningyuan paused for a moment and turned his gaze to Li Bin's face: "For a vertical website like Yiche, there will be three major trends in the future, first, compete for valuable users, second, platformization, and third, localization......!

Hearing what Bai Ningyuan had just said, the disbelief on Li Bin's face gradually disappeared, and the whole person was silent, looking thoughtful......
