Chapter 676: The Great Fool
Boss Ma is short of money, but Jin Xiaoqiang is not short of money nowadays, the funds in his hands are extremely abundant, and at least tens of billions of funds are placed in the bank account in case of emergency.
If you can join forces with Boss Ma at this time, you will undoubtedly be able to get the biggest piece of cake in the e-commerce market in the future.
In recent years, their Autohome website has been booming, and this website has also involved a part of the e-commerce market, but the most important thing is to focus on the provision of auto parts, or some small commodities dedicated to automobiles, and the sales of some modified parts.
Although in these areas, under the guidance of Jin Xiaoqiang and Zhang Chi's organization, the share of e-commerce marketing of Autohome.com has increased every year, but in his opinion, this share is still not enough.
You must know that after a few years, with the increase of Boss Ma's publicity for his treasure hunting network, and the acceptance of many consumers on Treasure Hunting Network, more and more consumer groups have begun to concentrate on Treasure Hunting for consumption, so the potential of this website in the future is undoubtedly huge.
Don't look at the current Autohome website, which has tens of millions of views every day, but compared with the daily clicks rate of more than 100 million on the later generations of Zhaobao.com, it is really a small thing.
Jin Xiaoqiang suddenly realized that this is also a very good business opportunity, if he can grasp it, then he may become a predator in the e-commerce industry in the future, maybe it's not true.
"What? Boss Ma, haven't you been busy lately? Why didn't you rush back to the head office? ”
After Jin Xiaoqiang had a plan in his heart, he deliberately found a topic to ask Boss Ma. Boss Ma's current headquarters of the forty thieves is set up on the shore of West Lake, but it is not in the capital, but in the recent past. He did not stay in his old nest, but frequently appeared in some social places in the capital, which is enough to show that this boss Ma has a plan in the capital.
Boss Ma heard Jin Xiaoqiang ask. couldn't help but glance at Jin Xiaoqiang with very playful eyes, and then replied.
"Yes! Recently, there are some things in the capital, and I have to be busy before I can meet the headquarters? ”
"Oh? Boss Ma, is there any trouble that is difficult to solve? You might as well tell my little brother to see if I can help, don't dare to say anything else, my little brother still has a lot of friends in the capital. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang deliberately asked tentatively, and when Boss Ma heard Jin Xiaoqiang say this, he glanced at Jin Xiaoqiang with very strange eyes. Then after thinking about it, he said.
"I don't know Mr. Jin, what do you think about the future of the e-commerce industry?"
Mr. Ma's expression was very serious at this time, and when Jin Xiaoqiang saw such a situation, he knew that there was a play, so he also said to Mr. Ma.
"I won't tell you Mr. Ma, you have also seen my Autohome website, which is honestly at the beginning of its preparation. I'm just going to have him as a peripheral company dedicated to our company's car exhibits. Originally, I didn't plan to rely on him to make money, I thought that I might have to put a lot of money into it every year, but after a few years, this company not only did not let me lose money, but also made me a lot of money. This makes me feel the charm of this e-commerce, in my opinion, China's e-commerce, is still in a period of vigorous development, his market is far from reaching the limit. In the future, with the rise of land, real estate and other businesses, it will inevitably affect the prices on the market, and in this way, many consumers will be discouraged from shopping malls, so the e-commerce sector that does not need counter fees in the future will usher in his glorious period, after all, his shop does not need cost, and in this way, the price of the products sold in it will naturally decrease, and I have been doing cars for so long, and I have a good understanding of the consumption habits of consumers in our Celestial Empire. In my opinion, the consumers of our Celestial Empire are the most price-sensitive, so where are the cheap products, they will flock to? So in my opinion, the future of the e-commerce industry can be said to be unlimited. ”…,
Jin Xiaoqiang's righteous words made Boss Ma feel very surprised, and his favor immediately improved a lot.
It turns out that this boss Ma also agrees that this Jin Xiaoqiang is a genius, but in his opinion, this Jin Xiaoqiang's genius is limited to the automobile design, manufacturing and sales industry he is engaged in, but it is not necessarily applicable to other industries.
But now, after hearing Jin Xiaoqiang's views on e-commerce, he can't help but be impressed by Jin Xiaoqiang, because there are many places where his views on e-commerce are the same as his own.
This shows that this person, don't look young, but he has a very advanced vision, this young man is really not simple!
In the past few days, Boss Ma has been in constant contact with various banks, private equity funds, or venture capital funds in the capital to see if he can get loans from them.
It's a pity that the energy of the Americans is too great, and the banks are forced by the pressure of the Americans, so they don't dare to give themselves too many loans, and because the current development of their own treasure network is not very smooth, the scale is not large, and the banks are afraid that investing money will cause unnecessary losses to themselves, so they do not agree to lend to themselves.
And those private equity funds and venture capital funds agreed to give themselves loans, but these guys have too much appetite, and the conditions are very harsh, and they even want to find a lot of shares in Baowang, which makes Boss Ma very unhappy, so in terms of financing, he has not made much progress during this time.
But seeing that the New Year is approaching, and the first money-burning season next year is coming again, if you can't get enough funds, then your treasure hunting network will definitely be knocked to the ground by the well-funded Yankees, which is not what Boss Ma wants to see, so he is having a headache for funds these days.
In the original history, Boss Ma finally had to agree to the harsh conditions of Japan's SoftBank and the Tiger Fund in the southeast, so that he could get enough bullets, and finally defeated the American E-BAY in one fell swoop.
And in fact, the reason why E-BAY lost so completely, the Ma boss also has to thank for the upcoming financial crisis next year, if it weren't for the fact that this financial shock was too harmful, and the Americans had to withdraw funds from the Asian market to go back to save their parent company, then even if they got the bullets of SoftBank and Tiger Fund, it was not certain who would have died at that time.
Now an unexpected encounter with Jin Xiaoqiang made Boss Ma hear the meaning of Jin Xiaoqiang's words, and he couldn't help but be a little moved.
If you want to say that the company in the Tianchao is the least bad at present, I am afraid that in addition to the Tianchao Petroleum, Tianchao Petrochemical and those giants in the monopoly industry, it is the private entrepreneur in front of him.
I heard that just this time just ended the Beijing Auto Show, his Huayang Power made a profit of billions, which is only seven or eight days of effort!
"What Mr. Jin said is true! Haha, it's really a hero out of a teenager! Mr. Jin, let me be honest, many of your views coincide with my views on e-commerce! ”
Mr. Ma didn't know if it was a performance, or if he really had the feeling of finding a soulmate, so he pulled Jin Xiaoqiang and kept talking.
Later, the two saw that this was not a good place to talk, so they simply went to the hotel's dining hall to find a private room, and then closed the door and began to talk while eating and drinking.
"Mr. Ma, in my opinion, can your Treasure Hunting Network still be diversified?"
Jin Xiaoqiang drank the third meal of wine today, and at this time he was already a little drunk. …,
"Oh? Would you like to hear more? ”
And Boss Ma is drinking more and more energetically, today from the conversation just now, he has heard a lot of good ideas from Jin Xiaoqiang's mouth, and he can't help but admire Jin Xiaoqiang more and more.
"For example, can we not only sell products, but also services? Just like in the capital Puhai, West Lake, Yangcheng there are many well-known hotels, but generally go to those places to travel people do not know which is the most authentic, where the best things to eat, we can contact these businesses, and then let them open a store in our online store, is it to launch some discounts, or group buying activities, and then consumers leave a message below, and finally let consumers see these news, after making their own choices......"
As a senior foodie, Jin Xiaoqiang has never forgotten the review network in his previous life, and with that website, it is simply the gospel of foodies.
"Oh? Interesting, Mr. Jin is a good idea, but what does group buying mean? ”
Boss Ma's eyes were shining when he heard it, but he didn't understand whether there were some new terms popping out of Mr. Jin's mouth on the other side.
"Hey! This group purchase is to let consumers form a group by themselves, and then go to the merchant to buy a large number of them, so that the merchant can give a more favorable discount on the sake of ordinary marketing, so that both parties can get the greatest benefit......"
Now is just the beginning of e-commerce, many of the later generations of vigorous e-commerce ideas, has not yet prevailed.
For example, the group buying that was popular in later generations, and what foodie review network, etc., and these concepts are undoubtedly some golden ideas for the treasure network that is now in the exploration stage and only knows how to burn money!
It's no wonder that this Boss Ma was able to patiently talk to Jin Xiaoqiang for hours, and patiently stop and listen to him...... (To be continued)
