Chapter 374: The King of E-Commerce: Jack Ma
"Xiao Ning, are you still in Shanghai?"
"Here, Sister Qing, is there something?"
"Well, I received news that eBay on the American side already has plans to enter the Chinese market."
"I'll be right back."
Putting down the phone, Zhang Ning said goodbye to Bao Jianfeng and others, saying that he had important things to do and left Shanghai.
"Sister Qing, when is the news?"
rushed back by plane non-stop, and Zhang Ning found Chen Qingqing as soon as possible.
"It's the news I just received, and I'll tell you as soon as possible."
eBay is an e-commerce company, and Penguin Tech is not involved in e-commerce. However, in Zhang Ning's plan, he has long regarded instant messaging, e-commerce, and search engines as a must-develop business. Moreover, Zhang Ning also instructed Chen Qingqing to tell him any important information in these three industries as soon as possible.
"I'll see."
Taking the information handed over by Chen Qingqing, Zhang Ning frowned while looking at it.
The board of directors of eBay has passed the resolution to enter the Chinese market, and it is believed that in half a year, it will enter the Chinese market.
Such a news also made Zhang Ning not even care much about Blizzard, even novels and the like.
Compared to the e-commerce behemoth, gaming is a relatively small market.
Even if Zhang Ning is willing to lose the game, he is not willing to lose e-commerce.
Previously, Zhang Ning had always felt that e-commerce was not particularly good in the domestic environment, and he never wanted to enter so quickly.
It's just that if you don't enter at this time, everyone else will enter.
In particular, there is also an international e-commerce giant that wants to enter the domestic market - eBay.
No, you must be ahead of eBay and launch your own e-commerce website in China first.
eBay is the world's largest e-commerce giant, and in later life, he also acquired eBay in China.
Before the rise of domestic e-commerce, Zhang Ning believes that no company will be a rival to eBay.
Damn, how did eBay want to enter the Chinese market so early.
This is not in line with the progress of eBay in later generations.
Judging from later generations, eBay also opened up the Chinese market after acquiring eBay in 2003.
However, it was only 2001 that eBay came in.
Before Zhang Ning thought about the plan to fight with the domestic e-commerce giants for a while, and then fight with the foreign giants, it seems that this is going to be in vain.
The frowns became tighter and tighter, and Zhang Ning seemed a little anxious.
"Sister Qing, sort out the information of major domestic e-commerce platforms, I want to take a look."
"I have prepared it for you a long time ago, this is the information of 8848 and Alibaba, the two largest e-commerce platforms in China."
8848 is the earliest B2C e-commerce website in China.
The so-called B2C means that the enterprise is oriented to individuals, which means that the enterprise sells products to individual users.
However, compared with B2C, Jack Ma Alibaba follows the B2B model, and it has also developed rapidly.
Zhang Ning has no opinion on B2C and B2B, both models can be successful.
The success of B2C in later generations is JD.com and Tmall.
B2B, Alibaba is the representative.
While checking the information, Zhang Ning kept recalling.
For these two companies, there is no doubt that Zhang Ning prefers Alibaba.
In addition to Alibaba's success, more importantly, Alibaba also has a bull - Jack Ma.
This king of Chinese e-commerce, his charm has fascinated many people.
As for 8848.
Although 8848 is the earliest e-commerce platform in China, his failure did not allow many people to remember him.
Even, in later generations, there are many people who don't even know what 8848 is.
Almost subconsciously, Zhang Ning thought of acquiring Alibaba.
Yes, the acquisition of Alibaba.
At the beginning, Zhang Ning had no idea of acquiring Alibaba, and he always wanted to make an e-commerce platform by himself. But because of the time constraints, and the fact that I have been working on Penguin Technology, and at the same time, because I have no money, I have to make games. After coming and going, although Zhang Ning attaches great importance to e-commerce, he has never entered.
Of course, there is another reason why I didn't enter, that is, e-commerce is too huge, and he can't build a product like instant messaging and search engines. E-commerce, in addition to building his own e-commerce platform, he involves a lot of content. Like logistics, it is a very headache. In addition to logistics, you have to deal with many enterprises. Moreover, there is another important reason, e-commerce is also not profitable in the early stage. Not only does he not make money, but the intensity of his spending is even more bullish than instant messaging.
It's just that in the face of eBay, which will enter the Chinese market in the next six months, Zhang Ning can only buy it first.
It just so happens that the current Alibaba is also short of funds.
This increased the probability of Zhang Ning's acquisition by several percent.
Without thinking too much about it, time was running out now, and Zhang Ning immediately went to Hangzhou.
Sitting on the plane, Zhang Ning closed his eyes and kept thinking about Ma Yun.
Alibaba, or Taobao in later generations, the most important person is only one person, Ma Yun.
Speaking of his legend, there are too many.
At that time, Jack Ma was still an English teacher, and he didn't know what a computer was or what a website was.
However, when he first came into contact with computers and websites abroad, he resolutely decided that he was going to resign and he wanted to do Internet business. At that time, almost no one believed in Jack Ma, but Jack Ma still relied on this kind of crazy hard work to create China's first yellow pages.
Of course, Jack Ma's brilliance is not in the China Yellow Pages, but in e-commerce.
After selling China Yellow Pages to a telecommunications company, Jack Ma has a new project.
Well, or rather, what exactly is the name of this new project, he himself does not know.
However, he still told a team of 18 people who followed him, "The Chinese Yellow Pages are gone, and I have already sold them." In the future, you decide whether you want to leave or stay. You have been with me for so many years, and you know the Internet and the Internet very well. Now Sina has to recruit a large number of people, and I can recommend you to pass the cloud, with a monthly salary of no less than 10,000. If you want to stay, then stay with me with a monthly salary of 500. As a result, none of these 18 people left, and they followed Ma Yun all the time. Moreover, these 18 people followed Jack Ma until he built Alibaba into a Chinese e-commerce empire, and none of them left.
That's the charm of Jack Ma.
He is not tall, he is not handsome, and sometimes he has some disadvantages when he speaks, but he makes these people follow him with all his heart.
When the plane arrived in Hangzhou, Zhang Ning opened his eyes.
Zhang Ning seemed a little worried, such a genius, where would he be willing to be acquired by himself.
is like Tencent's Ma Huateng, even if he defeats Ma Huateng again and again, Ma Huateng has always rejected himself.
By the way, Pony recently said that he was leaving Microsoft, but there has been no news recently.
Shaking his head, Zhang Ning didn't think about Ma Huateng, and concentrated on preparing for the acquisition of Alibaba.
It's just a pity that after meeting Ma Yun and Zhang Ning proposed his own acquisition plan, Zhang Ning's worries were confirmed.
How could such a charismatic genius be willing to be bought by someone else.
Of course, if you are willing to invest and only take a small stake, he is still willing.
However, even if Ma Yun rejected Zhang Ning's acquisition, he still held Zhang Ning.
It seems that the two are like good friends who haven't seen each other for many years, constantly talking.
Passionately, Ma Yun described to Zhang Ning a beautiful scene of the future of e-commerce. He said that in the future, the e-commerce model will become the main mode of cooperation between enterprises. People no longer need to go to the Canton Fair alone, nor do they need to go to the business center, people only need a computer, a network cable, log in to Alibaba, and all the business can be negotiated.
In addition, Ma Yun also uniquely analyzed the B2C business model, and he also believes that in the future, e-shopping will become people's main consumption and shopping mode, not only the current e-commerce platform only sells some software, books, electronic products, clothes...... Wait. In the future, on e-commerce sites, he can sell any product in reality, even a car, online. Speaking of which, Ma Yun immediately said that the founder of the 8848 website has left, and 8848 is likely to enter a recession in the future, and now is the best opportunity to enter the B2C model. They are very willing to cooperate with Penguin Technology, they contribute people and technology, Penguin Technology only needs to contribute funds, and the shares are half of each.
"Oh my God."
Zhang Ning was greatly admired by Ma Yun's brainwashing theory.
This Jack Ma is really a genius.
If it were someone else, I am afraid that I was really brainwashed by Ma Yun.
What they only need to contribute people and technology, they only need to contribute funds.
It seems like a fair deal, but in this world, the most important thing is people, and the most lacking is capital.
If you don't take a penny and want to occupy 50% of the shares, isn't this an empty glove white wolf, where to find this kind of lantern thing?
"What, Brother Zhang Ning, do you think my idea is not good?"
"No, it's not, I think it's great."
Honestly, such an idea is certainly great.
At the same time, Zhang Ning also secretly admired Ma Yun's vision.
It's just that this is for Jack Ma.
Jack Ma is reluctant to be acquired, and it is impossible for him to come up with the funds to work with him.
E-commerce is like instant messaging, how can such a big killer be left to others.
"Haha, I knew that Brother Zhang Ning must be interested in this project, let's go, I'll treat you today and let you taste authentic Hangzhou cuisine."
"Mr. Ma, wait, your idea is so creative, I have to think about it."
After speaking, Zhang Ning hurriedly left the Huaxing Building, where Alibaba was located.
He was afraid that if he went one step too late, he would definitely be brainwashed by Ma Yun successfully.
