Chapter 669: Competition
"Taobao's recent situation is actually not good, and it can even be said that the situation is very bad."
Listening to Sun Tongyu's words, Gu Xiu smiled.
Yes.
Laughed.
He actually doesn't dislike this kind of good news and not bad news, in fact, this is a common problem for many people, and even Gu Xiu himself in his previous life.
I often do this.
When I first started indie games, I carried the banner everywhere to find investors to invest money.
And once the investor gives investment, but when he asks about the progress, Gu Xiu basically picks up the good aspects.
"We've broken through another technology."
"We completed a very difficult problem."
"We've fixed all the bugs!"
"The game will be released soon!"
“……”
Well......
This is the same as meeting the head teacher during the winter vacation and the other party asks if he has written his homework.
No matter what the real situation is, at least you have to pick up the good words first and fool the head teacher before you speak.
It can't be.
When I met the head teacher, not only did I not panic at all, but I also told him in a grand manner that I didn't write a word during the whole holiday, right?
If there is.
Gu Xiu is willing to call him a warrior!
Because he has done this, naturally, for this kind of good news and not bad news, Gu Xiu will not hate it.
And now, expressing his attitude and listening to Sun Tongyu talk about the predicament, Gu Xiu said that he was very satisfied.
He wasn't afraid of project problems.
In this world, there is no project that is not a problem.
What is the saying?
The most terrible thing is not failure, but failure without knowing what is wrong.
"In fact, in recent times, we have launched a lot of publicity methods, and we have taken out a lot of additional funds from the company for market expansion."
"But ......"
"The money is not enough, at least compared to the eBay mall, which has already cooperated with eBay and is about to connect with the eBay platform."
"In terms of publicity, we almost lost out."
"The publicity works badly."
After understanding that the small investor in front of him was not a foolish master, Sun Tong was also able to do so and did not continue to hide it:
"And because of the poor publicity effect, the growth of new users is very slow, according to our estimates, the number of users in the last three months, should be a blowout expansion."
"But in fact, the number of new users hasn't skyrocketed during this time, and even occasionally declined slightly."
"This has naturally brought about a decline in trading volume and transaction value."
"Even recently, many businesses have begun to change their attitudes towards us, and they seem to be a little ignorant of our Taobao."
"Even ......"
"There are even merchants who plan to withdraw from our Taobao."
"Of course, not all of these people who want to quit want to join eBay, in fact, many of them still find this thing troublesome and not profitable."
"People still prefer the traditional shopping and sales model."
Gu Xiu nodded.
I couldn't see the emotion on my face, and asked lightly: "Then what do you think, what is the problem?" ”
"Let's be shopping conscious." Sun Tongyu.
"What else?" Gu Xiu asked again, without waiting for Sun Tongyu to say, and added: "Some of the reasons you said before, you don't need to continue to say it now, say something that you haven't said." ”
This......
Sun Tongyu thought about it.
On the side, always as a background board, talking about Peng Tear, who didn't say a word, spoke at this time:
"In fact, I think that although shopping habits, express logistics, and convenience are all big problems, in fact, for us now, the biggest problem is not this."
"Oh?" Gu Xiu became interested: "Then what does Manager Peng think?" ”
"eBay!" Peng said with tears.
Taking his opponent as the biggest problem, Sun Tong's heart began to jump wildly, isn't this just admitting that his skills are not as good as others?
But unexpectedly, Gu Xiu not only didn't get angry, but asked interestingly:
"Tell me more?"
"eBay Mall has always been our biggest competitor, and even since our project was officially announced, eBay Mall has continued to suppress us."
"Not only did they poach our merchants, but they even targeted us everywhere when we entered the publicity stage."
"Even Baidu's search terms, they have maliciously bought our Taobao's keywords, as long as they are searching for Taobao, there will immediately be an advertisement of 'want Taobao, to eBay'."
"Moreover, eBay has signed contracts with several major portals, and if you work with us, you have to pay a hefty fine."
"Even, I don't know if Mr. Gu noticed before you came to the company, opposite our company, you can even see eBay advertisements, they are clearly targeting us."
"Beat our morale."
"What's even more infuriating is that no matter which site we advertise on, eBay will take our ads down at a higher price."
"Their unfair business competition has a very great impact on us, and it is extremely hateful for such a large company to use such indiscriminate means against us!"
When he said this, Peng tears and his face were full of resentment.
Apparently.
She is full of resentment towards eBay.
I have to admit that what eBay did to Taobao is indeed a little disgusting.
Gu Xiu didn't think it was funny, and if he really cared about his project, he would be angry.
"Do you have a solution?" Gu Xiu asked.
"Yes!"
"Oh?" Gu Xiu became interested: "Then tell me, what is your solution." ”
"Throw money!"
"Throwing money?" Gu Xiu was a little disappointed.
But soon, Gu Xiu's eyes lit up again.
Because Gu Xiu originally thought that Peng Tear would say that he would compare funds and publicity costs with the other party, but unexpectedly, Peng Tear actually said:
"Throw money at the user!"
"Tell me, what's the smashing method?" Gu Xiu narrowed his eyes.
"We can give some users subsidies, such as choosing some well-known big brands and negotiating a good discounted price."
"Normally, as long as we take enough goods, it is definitely not a problem to get a good discount."
"We use a low-price strategy to invade the market!"
"As long as the low-price strategy can be brought into play, users will definitely be willing to wait for logistics."
"If they find out that the quality of the products they bought in the past is also very good, then they will be more willing to continue shopping on our platform from now on."
"Over time, it will make them feel more like they belong to our platform."
"In the same way, we can win by word of mouth, even if we don't have any extensive publicity, the number of our users will increase rapidly!"
