Chapter 752: eBay Gathers Momentum to Attack

"I heard Sang Jie say, you're going to change your secretary?"

After dinner that night, Gao Yuanyuan sat on the sofa with his daughter in his arms and asked Li Feiteng, who was playing with his mobile phone.

After he heard it clearly, his brows tightened, and he asked rhetorically, "If I change secretaries, do you still have to take care of it?"

Gao Yuanyuan's face was a little gloomy, and she said softly: "I didn't mean that, you have nothing to do to change the secretary, I just ask." ”

"Oh, that's it. After Li Feiteng finished speaking, he got up and left the living room and went upstairs.

He asked Sang Jie to find a secretary of Lori, which means that he will no longer eat grass on the edge of the nest.

Imagine what a forty-something uncle can produce in the face of a teenage girl.

Actually, Li Feiteng has someone in his heart, such as Yang Mi girl, or Liu Yifei's little devil, these two Loli are full of youthful vitality, and they can definitely bring him real relaxation after his intense work.

It's a pity that the two Lori girls both want to enter the showbiz, they are also very busy now, and Li Feiteng doesn't want to take the initiative to find them.

Therefore, this arduous task was called for Sang Jie to do.

Back in the study, Li Feiteng opened his email as usual to check some important work reports sent back by the heads of foreign companies.

Ru Lynch's email was the first thing he read, and it was the most crucial.

She sent a total of three emails, the first of which was a financial report of the company and a detailed e-statement.

Generally, after Sang Jie sorted it out, he reviewed it first, and then he checked it. So there was no rush to open it.

The second letter. It is the company's decision-making business reporting. Now, the Ru Lynch team is mainly engaged in the acquisition of eBay's publicly traded shares.

After investigation, eBay has been established for six years, raised a total of five times, with a total capital of 75 million US dollars, and after going public last year, a total of nearly five million shares were issued on the stock market, with a total share capital of more than 20 million shares. The current price per share is only $11.36, which is one-fifth of what it was before the Internet catastrophe and financial crisis.

Ru Lynch's team, which has now completed about 18.77% of the shares, has not yet notified eBay to open the board of directors and join the board of directors.

Because eBay's founder, Pierre Omidia, is no ordinary character.

Pierre Omidia and Philip Lee had a very similar initial success story.

even said that he was more powerful than Li Feiteng.

He is also a top student majoring in computer science at a prestigious university, and has joined a subsidiary of Apple Computer as a consumer software engineer.

After the accumulated experience. Pierre Omidia started his business with the company InkDevelopment. After the company changed its name to eShop, it was acquired by Microsoft.

At the age of 30, Pierre Omidia became a millionaire.

In 1995, when Philip Lee was reborn, Pierre Omidia began to write the source code of eBay and became one of the pioneers of the global e-commerce online shopping platform.

In a way, in fact, in his previous life, he also studied Pierre Omidia's platform and studied his successful experience, including the detailed eBay shopping system.

It can be said that Pierre Omidia is another horse luck in China, and compared with horse sports, Li Feiteng respects and admires more, because horse sports only understand business, do not understand technology, behind his success, there is a group of people who are silently paying, those technical engineers, they did not stand in front, enjoy the fruits of honor brought by success.

And the reason for all this is in two words - national conditions.

That's right, Li Feiteng's companies are also like this, many things cannot be said to be founded by him, but in order to make the group more cohesive and stronger, almost all good things are instilled in him.

To put it mildly, Li Feiteng is also deifying himself, he has been deified into a god-like big man who can do everything in business, but in fact, he is just the one standing at the front, and there is not much difference from Ma Yun.

If the people behind him leave one by one, the impact on the group is very great.

However, Li Feiteng clearly understands that the group of programmers who are silently providing technology are afraid of facing the light, because in the process of creating the platform, they already feel very good.

Moreover, if the job is comfortable and the salary is stable, they are not interested at all in whether they become famous or whether they can achieve a higher social status.

The engineers of Google Group, their ideas are very simple, very simple, is to create new achievements one by one, so that the group is prosperous step by step.

To put it bluntly, it's a matter of ambition.

Li Feiteng's previous ambitions were very small and he had no ambitions, and when he didn't have this most important thing, it was impossible to achieve great success.

He looked at Ru Lynch's email, thinking about Pierre Omidia, and felt in his heart that in fact, Pierre Omidia, like the two founders of the Google Group, Brie and Page, did not have much ambition.

Most of the time, the starting point of their success is not so material and profit, but more about making the platform bigger.

After Li Feiteng thought it through, he felt that he needed to show some sincerity.

Because buying eBay is not something that can be done with money.

In the past six years, ebay has merged Billpoint, Butterfield, Butterfield, Alando, Half, MercadoLibre, Lokau, iBazar, a total of nine American online shopping platforms, and the total capital spent has exceeded 120 million US dollars.

On top of that, eBay is ready to enter the Chinese market.

Baodao currently has an auction website called ubid, and its Chinese name is Liwang Information.

This site has been established since then. The turnover in Taiwan has skyrocketed. In addition to this year's Taobao, Feiyuan Shopping, and Alibaba have all settled in Treasure Island. smashed a lot of publicity costs, squeezing a lot of UBID's turnover, in fact, UBID has always been the largest online shopping platform on the island.

Taobao Group, it's not that it hasn't thought about acquiring or merging this website, the key is that the price is too high, and there is no guò here in Li Feiteng.

A year ago. The asking price of $120 million was opened, and the total amount of the entire online shopping market on the entire treasure island at that time was only $15.6 million.

It can be said that Li Feiteng at that time directly scolded the founder of ubid for robbing the bank.

The reason why Li Feiteng is used to calling eBay is because of the e-commerce dispute in his previous life.

Around the beginning of next year, eBay started from the online shopping market in Baodao, and after acquiring UBID, the largest platform, it turned to the huge market in mainland China.

Thereupon. eBay, the way Guò acquired eBay. Taobao with Ma Yun began a difficult competitive battle.

It's just that the result is naturally a failure, and in the end I can only choose to cooperate with the godfather of TOM e-books and establish TOM New eBay.

The horse luck of the year frustrated eBay, and now Li Feiteng naturally has great confidence to defeat this foreign wolf.

He has entered the ranks of global Internet giants through Google, and this time, he is just a small opponent.

……

eBay Corporate Headquarters, San Jose, California, USA.

Pierre Omidia and a middle-aged American woman with blonde hair sit in their office and discuss work.

"Whitman, do you think we can defeat that legendary young man?" asked Pierre Omidia, looking at some of the texts in his hand, frowning and looking up.

The text in his hand is the company's market research department, which has a variety of channels to compare China's online shopping platform, including the total sales of the market, and the performance of its largest competitor, Google Group, in e-commerce, with eBay.

According to the data, the total online shopping market value of mainland China has exceeded 6 billion US dollars, and the growth rate is even more outrageous, reaching more than 500% per year.

This means that in the next ten years, the market value of online shopping in that part of China will probably be worth trillions of dollars.

Today, Google Group, the largest online shopping platform in Huaxia, there are three largest: Feiyuan Shopping, Taobao, and Alibaba.

The second eBay, Google Mall, Amazon Books, Yahoo Mall, etc., can only survive by establishing a very close cooperative relationship with the online shopping platform of Google Group.

Therefore, Pierre Omidia feels that it is very difficult for eBay to prepare to enter the Chinese market strongly.

However, there is no way for him to give up that market.

Moreover, under the negative impact of the financial crisis in the United States this year, eBay's sales performance has been declining, and Google Group has used the Grim Reaper virus and extremely despicable means to launch the brand idea of safe online shopping, merger, and establish a new Google safe online store, which has been recognized and used by more than three million users in a short period of time.

With Google's secure online store alone already running a staggering $6.4 million in daily turnover, it's hard for Pierre Omidia to imagine how much eBay will lose and how much it will take after this month.

He does not intend to take a conservative approach to the battle with Google, that is, he is not prepared to continue to compete for money and financial resources, work on advertising, and compete for the brand of the first online shopping platform.

Instead, he wants to attack directly from Huaxia and Li Feiteng's base camp, and use all the property accumulated by eBay in the past six years to have a head-to-head competition with Taobao Co., Ltd.!

Because, the best defense is offense. (To be continued......)
