At the company's roundtable, Ma Yun was explaining Taobao's future positioning and development, but several partners of Alibaba wondered why Ma Yun wanted to find Li Hui to set up a joint venture on Taobao. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Does Li Hui have a high degree of education? No.

Does Li Hui have superb computer calculations? No.

Li Hui only has two websites, one 280 has no profit points, and one real estate website is also only a real estate website, without its own entity.

"Mr. Ma, I don't understand what you think." Cai Xin stood up and said.

This is not only Cai Xin does not understand, but all the partners who are doing it do not understand. When signing the contract, seventeen people saw Li Hui rationalize privately, and felt that the contract was signed a bit hastily.

Careless? That's right. Very hasty, the establishment of Taobao Ma Yun did not convene a meeting, when the establishment of Alibaba, we established the corresponding system, and this time Ma Yun violated the system, but when the contract was signed, everyone was hindered by the face of Ma Yun did not put it forward, and now Ma Yun should give everyone a reasonable statement.

Of course, only Cai Xin is the most qualified to bring up this matter, because he gave up his annual salary of 700,000 US dollars last year to start a business with Ma Yun in Hangzhou, which is not an ordinary weight.

"Do you think we shouldn't set up Taobao, or shouldn't we cooperate with Li Hui?" Ma Yun asked.

Everyone looked at each other, Peng Lei said: "Mr. Ma, we don't understand why we set up Taobao company, isn't our Alibaba a monopoly on selling things online?" If we want to set up a Taobao company, why did we choose Li Hui, a young man? I don't think he can afford to carry such a big burden. ”

I see, Ma Yun sat on the seat and took a sip of tea, and then explained to everyone unhurriedly.

First of all, Alibaba is mainly engaged in online wholesale business, which limits Alibaba to only combine factories and large customers, but there are too few large customers in Yanguo. So we need a website to do retail, for small customers, individual to individual. Or wholesale to individuals, now eBay in Shanghai is already doing it, but they have no experience in online sales, if we do they must be inferior to us.

Because of our experience platform on Alibaba, after becoming a retail platform, merchants can directly purchase from Alibaba and sell, so that the business between the two websites can be revitalized.

As for why I was looking for Li Hui, I was willing not to call out two points, first, I found a lot of successful Internet companies to invest, but no one was willing, and second, and most importantly, the domain name Taobao was in Li Hui's hands, indicating that he had the idea of making an online shopping website, but it had not yet been implemented. You are too young, which is also true, that is, because he is young, he has the courage to cooperate with us in Alibaba to establish Taobao.

Have you forgotten the selection of the top ten websites of Yanguo? 280 Network is a subsidiary of Li Hui's Fangfang.com. The absence of profitability is only temporary, and isn't our Alibaba also unprofitable? These are not the crux of the problem, the key is that Li Hui has other people's unique places, I believe that in the future he will definitely bring creativity to our company, and the contract also said that he does not participate in the management of Taobao, and gives full authority to our Alibaba partners to manage, which is equivalent to us bringing in an investor for free, contributing money without intervening, what's wrong with this?

As soon as Ma Yun analyzed this, everyone nodded, Cai Xin stopped talking, and Peng Lei stopped interjecting.

Now the office has been shrouded by the aura of Ma Yun, and Ma Yun's words are convincing enough, and it is in this way that eighteen people will gather in Hangzhou to start Alibaba.

Of course, in this matter, I also have my faults, I didn't communicate with you in advance, but I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, it is wrong not to be unhappy when something should be fast, it is good to have collective wisdom, if your pace is too slow, then the implementation of many good ideas will be slow, so more often than not, it is necessary to make decisive decisions, so I did not take the establishment of Taobao to the meeting to discuss.

But I'm grateful to all of you for supporting me.

After Ma Yun finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to the seventeen people in the conference room.

At this time, the people in the office have calmed down, when Alibaba was established, it was indeed Ma Yun's decisive decision, and then led everyone step by step to today, although everyone thinks that Alibaba's internal partnership system is very good, so that the collective wisdom can be brought into play, but Ma Yun just explained is very reasonable, should be supported.

"Mr. Ma, you will continue to explain Taobao to us."

"Yes, Mr. Ma, you continue."

"Everyone applauded and welcomed Mr. Ma to continue ......."

“……。”

"Okay, thank you."

Ma Yun then explained the future of Taobao.

Taobao and eBay are positioned as small and medium-sized sellers, using the developed Internet to do business for people across the country, so that all people can buy what they want online, and now the initial positioning is Alibaba's wholesaler sellers, and we will find a way to introduce more sellers from eBay, those sellers have more sales experience and customer resources.

The structure is: seller to user, individual to user.

The sales category is synchronized with eBay, and even we have to be richer than them.

The most important thing is that our Taobao is free for sellers, not only for stores, but also for advertising on other websites in the later stage.

"Cai Xin, you are responsible for building the prototype of the website, and you have to write it as soon as possible, and I hope that our website will be online within three months," Ma Yun said.

"Okay, I'll go set it up right away."

"Peng Lei,"

"Mr. Ma."

"Peng Lei, you are responsible for coordinating the cooperation between Alibaba and Taobao, if Taobao needs to be promoted in Alibaba, you are responsible, first from our own website to do this advertising, the first can save a certain amount of advertising costs, the second can avoid Taobao's self-diversion, wholesalers in Alibaba and Taobao can do business twice."

"No problem, Mr. Ma."

Okay, then that's all for today's meeting, if you have any good ideas for Taobao, you can put them forward as soon as possible, and we will improve them together.

After the meeting, Ma Yun returned to the office to prepare an email to contact Taobao with the investor, because the establishment of Taobao Ma Yun not only did not mention it to the other 17 founders of the company, but also did not talk to the investor.

This can be regarded as a prelude to the first cut, intuition tells Ma Yun that this matter must be done first, Alibaba's investment agreement has Ma Yun and the management team can make their own decisions on the company's operation, so Ma Yun did not violate the rules!
