Chen Bo asked Su Chenghao and Tian Peng to assist in various things in the relocation process, the procurement of what should be purchased, and the discarding of what should be discarded. Those documents and original manuscripts should be properly preserved.

These are immeasurably important assets for the future, and they are also witnesses to the history of animation.

Cartoon King magazine is also nearly 10 years old since its inception in '93, and it is also in the collection, and will be exhibited in future museums.

Just when Xingchen Meiying began the relocation work in full swing, Chen Bo took time to come to the Shangri-La Hotel in Xiaolujiazui to meet with Shao Yibo, the founder and chairman of eBay.

Ali and 8848 are both B2C, that is, transactions from merchants to customers, while eBay is derived from the concept of eBay, transactions between users and users, this model is called C2C.

eBay has developed since 99 years and has now occupied more than 90% of the C2C market and more than 7 million users. It is definitely the brightest star in the field of e-commerce.

So Chen Bo is ready to seek opportunities for cooperation, Dingdong started in 2000, and it has been more than a year now, but it has basically become four different, saying that B2C is not, C2C is not right, it is very contradictory.

Relying on the computer market in the Pearl River Delta region, the door-to-door delivery picks up a couple of jujubes, and the 2C website is there, but the whole framework is not reasonable, so the traffic is also miserable.

Passing by the Jin Mao Building, Chen Bo saw a lifeless construction site next to it, only a simple fence, and he dug a foundation, which seemed to have no traces of construction for a long time.

"Who developed this, and why is it still unfinished?" Chen Bo couldn't help but ask Su Chenghao.

"I don't know." After all, Su Chenghao is also the first time to come to Shanghai, and this question is a bit difficult for him.

The ruins the size of two football fields, it's a pity that they are vacant there, and I have to ask Secretary Liu when I go back, if there is no one, I can pull it over.

Chen Bo unconsciously has the feeling that he is addicted to the landlord, probably because the current land price is indeed too cheap, it is simply uncomfortable not to hoard land, maybe he was scared by the ultra-high housing prices in his previous life.

This is the first time I have met Shao Yibo, and I just want to talk about cooperation. The other party offered to make an appointment in Shangri-La, with Chen Bo's character, just find a place to sit down and have a cup of tea, how can you come to this kind of star hotel.

However, it is not surprising to think that he was originally from Shanghai, and then graduated from Harvard Business School MBA.

It is understandable for successful people to pursue the quality of life, with Chen Bo's current ability, it is not a problem to eat, drink and laze in Shangri-La every day, the problem is that he really does not seem to have this concept of being a local tyrant now.

Chen Bo sat in the small cafΓ© for a while, and Shao Yibo arrived. The 29-year-old wears an elegant suit, shiny leather shoes, and a well-groomed hairstyle, all of which have the temperament of a rich boy.

In comparison, Chen Bo is a casual casual jacket lined with a white V-neck T-shirt, but he looks like a young man who has nothing to do. If you stand with Shao Yibo, if you ask who is the chairman of Pangu Technology Group, no one will definitely choose him.

Although it was the first time they met, the two still recognized each other at a glance, and Chen Bo was more famous than him in the circle. Although it is not so public, it will definitely grab the headlines as soon as it comes out.

Shao Yibo is a returnee who knows the significance of exposure, and although the appearance rate is high, the eye-catching index is slightly worse.

After the two politely exchanged politeness, Chen Bo explained his intentions.

"I am very optimistic about the C2C e-commerce model, and eBay now has the largest number of users in the country, so I want to discuss the possibility of cooperation with Mr. Shao."

"Cooperation? Is Mr. Chen referring to the promotion of ant search? Shao Yibo doesn't know why, Ant Search is now promoting well, eBay is also using it, and it does contribute a lot of traffic fees to this.

"No, no, no, I mean eBay. Pangu Group has two super traffic tools, Tencent QQ and Ant Search, and if eBay can join in, it must be able to go to the next level. ”

Chen Bo pointed out directly, I want you to eBay.

"I'm sorry, but I'm still interested in promoting cooperation. But if it's to merge eBay, I'm not interested in it yet, and Haiyin won't agree. Shao Yibo took the coffee cup and took a sip of the gentleman and refused directly.

Tan Haiyin is also one of the founders of eBay, Shao's classmate at Harvard. Before Guan Xin officially became the president of Maidong Music, the youngest beautiful president was referring to her.

However, Chen Bo will definitely not believe his statement, could it be that he has other plans?

"I heard that eBay is talking to eBay about a partnership." Chen Bo probed.

"How do you know?" The coffee in Shao Yibo's hand almost spilled, and he was surprised.

"It's just hearsay, but I advise Mr. Shao that eBay's entry into the domestic market is mostly to introduce Chinese users to the United States, and it won't help eBay much."

eBay's server is also quite strange, not set up in China, but set up on the other side of the ocean, so the loading time of user login must be longer.

"Then don't bother with Mr. Chen, eBay has a wealth of experience in C2C operations, and this is definitely a strong alliance. If there's nothing to do, I'll take my leave! Shao Yibo didn't care about Chen Bo's persuasion, and it was not a good character to say bad things about people if he couldn't cooperate, so he directly despised Chen Bo.

The meeting ended hastily, and if the acquisition was directly discussed, Pangu's book capital would only be $50 million, which was not enough to acquire eBay, which had a market value of nearly $100 million.

If you merge, although you have Tencent QQ and Ant Search, Shao Yibo doesn't think it can help eBay go further in the market, he prefers the C2C giant eBay, so he can only do it.

Although Chen Bo hit a wall, he didn't feel anything, eBay has a lot of life, but he is more greedy for its millions of ready-made users. If you can accelerate the development of Dingdong, why not do it when saving time and effort?

Coming out of the Shangri-La Hotel, Chen Bo and Su Chenghao walked near Lujiazui, where in addition to the two super high-rise buildings of Jin Mao Tower and the Oriental Pearl, there are also relatively low-rise buildings such as the Aurora Building, the International Conference Center, and the General Administration of Customs Building.

The modern buildings are interspersed with many low-rise old buildings in the middle, which is a unique mark of the times.

"The one that's under construction is the Super Brand Mall, right?" Chen Bo pointed to a building that had been basically completed and said to Su Chenghao.

"Yes, the newspapers advertise every day, and it is said that we want to build the first shopping mall in Asia."

Su Chenghao also dragged a sentence in English, which changed a lot, Chen Bo groaned and said, "Go back and help me make an appointment with their person in charge, in the name of Xingchen Culture." ”

"Okay, Secretary Liu called and said that the textile factory had been contacted, so let's take some time to go over."

"Then tomorrow, I'll just go with Pan Yue."

Chen Bo's daily work is not only to review various internal emails in front of the computer, but also to talk to people one by one. Either it's about cooperation, or it's about work.

The boss is actually a job of managing people, it doesn't matter whether you have the ability or not, but you must know people, use people, and let others create value for you.

He's only been in business for a few years now? If the stall is spread wide, the talent gap will always be unable to keep up. Su Chenghao was stocked for a while, and now he is pulled back and raised in captivity, and he will be released after he is mature, so that he can be independent.

The Jing'an Kerry Center suddenly became lively, and the entire five floors of the space were crammed with several companies.

There is also an eye-catching billboard hanging on the roof of the building, with ant search on one side and Tenxun.com on the other. Even the elevator hall and the lobby on the first floor are covered with print advertisements of the two companies, declaring their presence to others.

Xingchen Culture occupies two of the floors, Ant Search and Tengxun.com occupy the top floor, and the remaining two floors belong to Dingdong.com. The space of 7,500 square meters is more than enough to meet the use of the next two or three years.

Chen Bo and Pan Yue, the new president of Xingchen Culture, came to the old textile factory together, and Secretary Liu had already arranged everything.

"You go talk about it, Brother Liu and I are here to talk about something, as long as it doesn't exceed 40 million, it's acceptable."

Chen Bo said to Pan Yue, it is time to show his own ability, this place is really not big, only 41 acres, so Chen Bo has prepared 40 million yuan of funds, according to the normal market price, almost 35 million can be traded.

Chen Bo and Secretary Liu found a leisurely place nearby, and it was very comfortable to have afternoon tea.

"Brother Liu, I'll ask you about something."

"You're probably fine, just say it."

Chen Bo told the unfinished construction site in Lujiazui and asked him if he had a chance to turn around.

"The history of this land is long, and the problem is more complicated, which is also a problem for Mayor Liang." Secretary Liu frowned and said, "That piece of land was developed by Japan Mori Building Co., Ltd., and the project is called the World Financial Building. It is planned to build the world's tallest building, and the land has been obtained since the Oriental Pearl was not completed in 94. ”

World Financial Tower? Isn't that the famous bottle driver? It was actually developed by the Japanese.

"Then why is it not finished?"

"In the '98 financial crisis, the yen fluctuated sharply and depreciated sharply. Then the construction was stopped, and dozens of companies gathered behind the Mori Building, planning to invest $1 billion, and the result has been left to this day. ”

"What do you think I'll turn this land down?" Chen Bo said again.

"Brother, your ideal is very full, the Japanese took land to build the world's tallest building in Shanghai, what do you think you want to do? We all know that. However, the city government needs this foreign capital to promote development, and although it is now unfinished, it does not mean that it will not be rebuilt, and the Japanese will certainly not let it go easily. ”

Secretary Liu didn't approve of Chen Bo taking the initiative to take over that place, this kid is really stubborn, why can't he get along with Lu Jiazui. You are not a real estate developer, and you are not the richest man, and if you want to build such a tall building, you can't even think about it for hundreds of millions of dollars.
