As a trading website, whether it is eBay or Taobao, or Excellence and Dangdang, which have not yet been fully developed, no website dares to say that there are no fakes in front of the media, which is something that everyone knows, otherwise as long as the media is serious and really follows up the investigation and interview, there is a chance that it will get into trouble.

Just when eBay was busy dealing with public relations affairs on the Internet and the media, the heads of the marketing departments of the four major portals met Taobao Technology Company together.

Their purpose is obvious, to recoup the losses caused by the wrong decisions they made before.

After the internal collective meeting vote, the four major portals all agreed that the sooner this matter is resolved, the better, rather than being indecisive, it is better to let go of your hands and feet, directly touch Taobao technology, anyway, stretch out your head and shrink your head, sooner or later.

In the conference room of Taobao Technology, Liu Walldong warmly received the heads of the marketing departments of the four major portals.

The person in charge of the marketing department was bewildered by Liu Walldong's enthusiasm and thought that this was a very talkative master, so he made a straightforward request at the meeting, hoping to restore the previous display frame position on hao123 of the four major portals.

After listening to their request, Liu Qiandong said with a smile: "I have basically understood the purpose of your visit, and I have 120,000 sincerity for your request, but in terms of cost and mode, it may be different from before, so you should be mentally prepared." ”

One of them asked, "Can Mr. Liu elaborate on it?"

"Absolutely. ”

Liu Qiandong replied with a smile, and then continued: "First of all, the premise of our cooperation is to restore the previous model of cooperation between Taobao Technology and you, and the cost of advertising business needs to be reduced by 20% on the basis of the previous one, do you have any objections to this?"

The representatives of the four parties were a little embarrassed, looked at each other, and only one representative said loudly: "The 20% reduction in expenses is not a problem, the key is the period of recovery, which may be postponed to the middle of next year, after all, the contract has been signed, and forcibly breaching the contract is not something that a company with integrity should do." ”

Liu Walldong sneered and said: "Don't say these high-sounding words in front of me, there are some things we all know, whether to breach the contract or not is not within my consideration, if you don't want to, then you don't need to talk about it." As for how you solve the contract with the other party, it has nothing to do with Taobao Technology, I think since you dare to come, it is impossible not to consider this aspect of the problem, so it is better not to mention this point. ”

The representatives of the Quartet looked at each other, and Mr. Liu, who was still very enthusiastic just now, began to speak bluntly if he didn't say a word, can we speak tactfully and leave a little affection for each other?

Liu Walldong didn't care what their reaction was, the old god was waiting for the other party's reply, this request was specially explained by Li Zhengyi, no matter what, it was necessary to deal with the publicity channels between the four major portals and several other well-known websites before the year, if it was to be delayed until next year, then there was no need to talk to the other party, because there was no point.

In fact, Li Zhengyi himself doesn't want to fall out with the four major portals, and if he continues to make trouble, it is an act of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, Taobao Technology cut off one of their large-scale traffic entrances, but Taobao Technology can't advertise on the online portal, so it's not a huge traffic entrance.

Only cooperation is a win-win situation, confrontation, and it belongs to each other's failed behavior.

But given the hegemonic practices of the previous four major portals, then the necessary punishment is definitely there. The other party didn't know Li Zhengyi's thoughts, thinking that Taobao Technology didn't care much about the other party's advertising business, and now that he brought it up, he just thought that the other party was trying to get back face for the previous thing.

The representatives of the four parties discussed with each other for a while before agreeing to Liu Walldong's request.

Liu Walldong said with a smile: "Since the premise of cooperation has been in place, then next, let's talk about the cooperation model of hao123 navigation." ”

"I don't know if you have carefully studied the revised navigation website, but if you do, you will definitely find that there are only six positions in the picture display area at the first line of the homepage. But three of these six slots must be reserved for your own needs, so only the remaining three are left for you, and one of the four of you must be placed in the text display area below. ”

"Of course, compared with the above, the text display area will definitely be much more preferential in terms of price, which is the same as the previous charge, there is no change, but the above three positions, you can discuss it yourself, I don't care who is up and who is down, I just collect money. ”

The so-called picture display area is actually in this position, where there is not only the name of the website, but also the logo image of the website. In the text display area, there is only the name of the website and no pictures to display, which is obviously higher than the latter for the attractiveness of users.

This is a typical practice of killing three people.

After listening to this, the representatives of the Quartet couldn't help but curse in their hearts, their perception of Liu Walldong, from the previous enthusiasm to the current insidiousness, the evaluation has taken a 180° turn.

If slander could kill people, Liu Qiandong would have been riddled with holes.

The representatives of the four parties made eye contact with each other for a while, and they all had scruples and did not make a sound, and after a long time, the representative of Sina, the head of the four major portals, came forward and said: "Mr. Liu, we don't have to rush for a while, or this matter will be put aside for the time being, and how about talking about it tomorrow?"

"No problem. ”

Liu Qiandong stood up without saying a word, and then politely stretched out his hand and said, "Everyone, please don't go far, if you discuss it properly, then please come on time tomorrow." Of course, if your company disagrees or disagrees with this, then sorry, you don't have to come again. ”

Finally walked out of the conference room, Liu Walldong suddenly said again: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to explain to you, hao123 because of the change of ownership, the original contract stipulated by the webmaster is no longer suitable for the way of signing a contract in one quarter, and now it is signed once a year, in the same position in the next year, and the owner of the previous year has the right of priority to renew." ”

……

The representatives of the Quartet came out of Taobao Technology in a gloomy manner, and then condemned Liu Walldong's approach all the way, and it was clear that what Liu Walldong said at the end basically ruled out the possibility of compromise behind the scenes of the four companies.

Li Zhengyi and Liu Walldong discussed this practice is very yin, hao123 as a monopoly in the field of navigation more than 95% of the market traffic entrance, the four major portals are absolutely not allowed to give up.

Take Sina and NetEase as examples, as listed companies, the company's stock price will change at any time with the change of portal traffic. This time, because hao123 cut off 30% of their traffic sources, it directly caused the value of their listed stocks on the NASDAQ to plummet by 8-10 points.
