Chapter 414: Preparations for the Olympics (3)
Zhang Bin of the Yanjing Club has not been here for a while.
In the agreed reception room, Zhang Bin met Ma Wenteng.
The two exchanged a few words and went to the restaurant for lunch.
For lunch, I ate Chinese food, which is a typical southern cuisine, and Zhang Bin also ordered a few signature dishes from southern Sichuan Province.
"I've lived here for so long, I'm still not used to eating this food, and when I'm alone, I occasionally go to the hotel to eat," Zhang Bin said with a smile, holding his cup and touching it with Ma Wenteng.
"Actually, I'm pretty much the same, but my taste is lighter, but I think it's okay," Ma Wenteng said with a smile.
"Well, Mr. Ma shouldn't be leaving recently, when will he go camping?" Zhang Bin suddenly became interested, taking advantage of the fact that he had time now, and Zhao Min and they didn't have a job, so he could take them out camping.
Ma Wenteng smiled: "Okay, it just so happens that I brought my wife over this time, when?" ”
"In a few days, when the opening ceremony is over, I will arrange it as soon as possible," Zhang said.
In fact, for people like Ma Wenteng, life is a bit of a rut, and they are still very interested in going out camping to relax occasionally.
"Tesco was acquired by you?" Ma Wenteng asked.
Zhang Bin nodded and admitted, "That's right, it's the incident you asked me last time, my purpose is to acquire Tesco.com, and teach them a lesson by the way."
"It seems that you are a cautious person," Ma Wenteng said.
"It depends on who is right," Mr. Zhang said.
"So you think you're bullish on e-commerce platforms?" Ma Wenteng looked at Zhang Bin and asked.
Zhang Bin took a bite of the dish, put down his chopsticks, took out the paper and wiped his mouth.
"There's no denying that it's a huge market," says Zhang.
"How big do you think, Ali's Taobao is developing well, and Li Youhong is also developing an e-commerce platform, it seems that you are very optimistic about this industry," Ma Wenteng said.
Tencent's focus is now on the penguin and game business, and although it has also focused on other developments, it is obviously not distracted enough.
"It depends on what you do," Mr. Zhang said.
Online transactions here mainly refer to online electronic payment transactions, which are mainly used for B2B, B2C, and C2C businesses.
The development of B2B business has been very limited until now, and the electronic platform has begun to slowly dilute this business, that is to say, B2B has encountered a certain bottleneck.
B2B business is mainly aimed at business-to-business transactions, which are often some large transactions, so the transaction volume is often large, and the transaction volume in this area reached 1.25 trillion last year, and this number is still increasing.
This kind of transaction, because the amount involved is large, the process transaction is complex, and the cumbersome process makes many people shout headaches, so it is not realistic to want to completely electronic transactions, and it will definitely not form market competition to lead to cheap online transactions, which leads to a considerable number of people who are more reluctant to trade online.
Some people propose online negotiation and offline trading, which are somewhat similar to the current 020 business, but for enterprises, it is not realistic enough, and there are many problems involved, the most important thing is how much profit the platform can earn.
With a series of problems becoming more prominent and competition intensifying, more and more platforms have shifted their attention to the B2C business, which is also the electronic business that Taobao is currently undertaking.
He is mainly for enterprises and individuals, such transactions, more free, more convenient, and can generate larger profit margins, can directly face the consumer group, clearly know the market demand.
It is a win-win situation for both enterprises and electronic platforms.
Last year, the domestic B2C business turnover was about 50 billion, and Taobao accounted for almost 80%.
However, with the development of B2C business, C2C business has also begun to appear.
C2C is mainly aimed at online transactions of individuals and individuals, such transaction price liberalization, transaction liberalization, and more convenient, but the disadvantages are also very large, that is, the competition is great, which will cause the price to go all the way down, and fake goods are flooding the market, resulting in a large number of events that deceive consumers.
And this is also an inevitable problem that Ma Dayun discovered, so this year he began to separate an e-commerce mall, which was officially named Tmall in 2012.
Whether it is B2C, C2C, or even 020 later, there are conveniences and disadvantages, and each business has room for development and limitations, which depends on the main strategy of the operator.
"What do you think is the future direction?" Ma Wenteng asked.
"The current market should be B2C and C2C, so Tesco is ready to run two businesses," Zhang said.
"Do you think you have the confidence to compete with Taobao, or defeat Li Youhong?" Ma Wenteng asked.
"Confidence has always been established in the competition of continuous victories, before this, we can only say to fight, moreover, the domestic consumer market is far from being tapped, the Internet era is far from entering the most powerful time, when we really realize that everyone can access the Internet anytime and anywhere, the e-commerce platform will also usher in the most brilliant time", Zhang Bin said, "business competition does not necessarily have to be who beats whom, who can get more markets even if it is successful."
"The real Internet age?" Ma Wenteng seemed to be a little interested in Zhang Bin's words, "Mr. Zhang thinks the real Internet era is like like ”
Zhang Bin hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't dare to describe it, but at least I think that everyone can access the Internet at any time and by any means, that is, the Internet is our life."
"Is the same true for Providence's smart phone project? A step towards the future of the Internet? Ma Wenteng said with a smile.
The largest shareholder of Providence Technology is Zhang Bin, this is not a secret, if you have the heart to investigate, you will know, after all, the last leak incident was very big.
"The smart machine can only be said to lead people to better understand the Internet, it is a tool to connect ordinary people and the Internet, of course, it is also a kind of progress," Zhang Bin said calmly.
"Do you always think that the future of mobile phones will also be the future of smart phones?" Ma Wenteng said.
"In fact, not only mobile phones, but also the progress of society is largely due to the progress of science and technology, and any kind of technology will enter a smart step in the future, and mobile phones are no exception," Zhang Bin said.
"So Mr. Zhang thinks that mobile phones in the next few years will inevitably enter the era of smart phones, just like Apple's Steve Jobs described?" Ma Wenteng said with a smile.
"I don't dare to say this, but I hope it is", Zhang Bin haha and sold a pass.
Eating and talking about things is just a stop.
In order to enhance mutual trust and understanding, after eating, Zhang Bin took Ma Wenteng to a place.
It's the Game Development Division.
Relatively speaking, the two have competition in this regard, but at present, Ma Wenteng does not feel too much threat.
Bringing him here, Zhang Bin wants to be more sincere, and I am also optimistic about the development of the game in the future, which shows that our vision has a certain commonality, so in other aspects, Zhang Bin also hopes that Ma Wenteng can show some support.
Entering the community, seeing this open-air café and some employees who came very early were drinking tea, Ma Wenteng's eyes suddenly lit up, is this the characteristic of leisure office, office and leisure are integrated, leisure is everywhere, but work is not delayed.
