260【An opponent's mistake is your own success】
After pouring a glass of wine for Ma Xiaoyun, Song Weiyang asked: "I did a good job in the People's X Daily."
"It's really boring," said Ma Xiaoyun. "I'm still confused now. Why did I come to Beijing to build a website for people? And I didn't understand the price at that time, and now I have no other hopes. It's better that this business will not lose money."
"Hahaha!" Song Weiyang laughed.
Ma Xiaoyun was fooling himself while fooling the leadership of the People's Daily.
Song Weiyang asked: "I heard you met Zhang Shuxin from Yinghaiwei some time ago?"
"See, this boss Zhang is over-named," Ma Xiaoyun shook her head repeatedly. "She made a bunch of servers, asked someone to pay for money to surf the Internet, and treated herself as a telecommunications bureau in the Internet. When I communicated with her on the Internet, it was simply a bad word and I couldn't tell the whole thing."
Song Weiyang felt that the scene must be very interesting.
Both of them came into contact with the Internet by chance in the United States. One returned to China to create the first Internet company in China, and the other returned to China to create the first yellow page website in China. But their understanding of the Internet was all about half a pot of water. They only saw a certain part of the Internet function. They couldn't convince each other when they talked about it. Of course, the more they talked about it, the stranger it became.
"Come on, let's go," Ma Xiaoyun clinked his glass with a cigarette in his arms, "I heard you have invested in Kingsoft Company?"
"Do you know all this?" Song Weiyang asked while siping white wine.
"China's Internet is so big, it has been spread all over the world," said Ma Xiaoyun. "Can Kingsoft make money now?"
Song Weiyang shook his head and said, "It has been losing money."
"Then are you still investing?" Ma Xiaoyun asked.
"Not many people still insist on independently developing software, so they have to help them," Song Weiyang smiled. "Making software is better than making health products."
Ma Xiaoyun said: "When it comes to health care products, it seems that there is something wrong with the capital chain of Giant Group. There are news that Giant is about to collapse these days."
"The steps are too big, and I'm pulling the egg." Song Weiyang said.
"Hahahaha!" Ma Xiaoyun was amused, and he thought this was too interesting.
The two chatted for a while, and Song Weiyang said, "I came to Beijing this time to inspect e-commerce."
"It's that cgos?" Ma Xiaoyun said seriously.
"What do you think?" Song Weiyang asked.
Ma Xiaoyun said: "I don't know much, but I have a general understanding. The central government is promoting information trade, and several ministries and commissions took the lead in creating a CGOS. The publicity was very lively, but I didn't hear any achievements."
"Are you interested?" Song Weiyang asked.
"I'm a little interested, I'll talk about it when I finish the People's Daily." Ma Xiaoyun said.
"Do you want to go and have a look with me?" Song Weiyang said.
"Yes." Ma Xiaoyun nodded immediately.
...
The next day, Song Weiyang and Ma Xiaoyun came to the Beijing Shangyou Business Company, and the company's boss came to receive it in person.
Song Weiyang was very disappointed. Cgos only developed a system framework at this time, with many of the functions not complete, and was in the internal trial operation stage. But just like this semi-finished product, major media actually helped promote it, which made Song Weiyang think that the other party had achieved success.
The boss of Shangyou Company did not understand technology, so he asked a consultant to explain to Song Weiyang.
The consultant is Li Qi, who is the same name and surname as the subordinate introduced by Ma Xiaoyun yesterday. Next year, this person will become China's first doctoral in e-commerce research, publish China's first business electronic monograph, establish China's first e-commerce research institute, and obtain China's first professional professorship title.
From a theoretical perspective, Li Qi was the founder of China's e-commerce. Later, many e-commerce majors came into contact with the first professional textbook that Li Qi personally wrote.
"Boss Song, although my country's online business is in its infancy, its development prospects are very promising," Li Qi introduced with an eloquence. "We will establish a nationwide computer network and large distribution center, build a bridge between enterprises, enterprises, owners and individuals, and realize the networking and informatization of the primary commodity market! Last year, there were more than 13 million commercial retail enterprises nationwide, and there were more than 200,000 in Beijing alone. Take Beijing as an example. There are more than 200 large shopping malls with annual sales of over 100 million yuan in Beijing, accounting for one quarter of the capital, and there are more small and medium-sized sales enterprises. What a vast market? Although Xifeng Company has fixed sales channels, it is difficult to thoroughly implement more than 200,000 retail enterprises in Beijing. Using our electronic ordering system can make up for this gap!"
Ma Xiaoyun was originally accompanying Song Weiyang to visit, but now he heard her eyes lit up, and a huge potential market was in front of him.
Song Weiyang didn't feel anything and asked directly: "When will your cgos system be put into operation?"
"Uh..." Li Qi replied a little embarrassedly, "At the latest next summer, of course, it may also be ahead of schedule."
"Is the system ready?" Song Weiyang asked.
Li Qi said: "It has been done, but there are still some minor problems and are gradually being adjusted and improved."
Song Weiyang found that he was fooled. Cgos was so hyped in the media. In fact, he just set up a framework to cheat superiors and deceive corporate investment.
Song Weiyang asked again how the system operated, and Li Qi immediately replied that it seemed that Shangyou Business Company was not completely a fraud, they already had a relatively complete development plan.
This thing is divided into a business center and a distribution center.
The business center is a business website. Those who sell things need to pay to join the Internet, and those who buy things need to pay to get information. Both parties can match online, and the system automatically settles the price, which is simple, fast and efficient to reach transaction intentions.
The distribution center is a large distribution station, and warehouses must be built in various places, and even transportation equipment must be purchased. Online transactions are reached, and Shangyou Business Company will carry out logistics and distribution. The buyer will pay the goods to Shangyou Company, and Shangyou Company will then transfer the goods to the seller's account, and the logistics costs will be deducted.
What the hell?
This broken company wants to do e-commerce websites, intermediate agents, and logistics business!
Not to mention anything else, just the site in the Beijing area, the distribution center will have to be invested at least 70 to 80 million yuan. The ministries and commissions are definitely unwilling to invest so much money, so they can only find other companies to cooperate. Most of them are state-owned enterprises, and it will be the year of a monkey and a month when the distribution center is built.
No wonder this e-commerce company, which has a background in three major ministries, various media publicity resources, and policies, was quickly eliminated by the market in history.
It is undeniable that the cgos system is very beneficial to sellers and buyers, with large amount of information, fast communication speed, strong selectivity, high transparency, and low transaction costs, breaking the constraints of middlemen and geographical areas. If there is no competition for private e-commerce companies, it will definitely be able to grow bigger and bring good news to countless production and sales companies.
Unfortunately, the cgos system was created too early, until the Internet was not popular yet, and the profit at the beginning was not good. When the e-commerce environment began to mature, more and more similar companies came to grab the market and knocked down Cgos with more flexible services.
"I am very willing to cooperate with Shangyou Business Company. After your Cgos system is sound, Xifeng is willing to become the first customer." Song Weiyang expressed his attitude and flicked out.
Although Cgos is a fool, it is indeed a good channel and cooperation should be done.
Song Weiyang felt very disappointed and asked Ma Xiaoyun halfway: "What do you think?"
Ma Xiaoyun said excitedly: "If I were asked to do e-commerce, I would not do a distribution center, but specialize in website information and trading systems. Shangyou Business Company is too big and complete. This is an old problem of state-owned enterprises. You can't do this in doing the Internet."
"Are you going to enter the venue?" Song Weiyang smiled.
Ma Xiaoyun said: "When I finish the People's Daily, I will immediately clear the shares of China Yellow Pages and make every effort to enter the e-commerce market! Lao Song, thank you very much, you have let me find the direction of business."
"If you do e-commerce, you can come to me if you are short of money." Song Weiyang smiled happily.
"It's certain, you are the big financial lord." Ma Xiaoyun said.
Historically, Ma Xiaoyun started e-commerce in 1997 and built several websites in one go, both domestically and foreign. Unfortunately, the Internet environment is immature, and these websites have both losses and profits, and are barely in a state of guaranteed capital. Later, it was difficult to create Alibaba, and it was not until 2000 that they would die. Only when the Internet was popularized can they grow and grow.
Ma Xiaoyun didn't know this. He was already full of confidence and felt that the e-commerce market had huge potential.
In fact, the most awesome e-commerce website is 8848. B2c is very prosperous, but it believes in the American Internet philosophy to change its career to B2b. In a few years, the main business has changed, and I have been distracted. The shareholders have also had various conflicts. In the end, Ma Xiaoyun has gained nothing.
There are many such situations. Every opponent that Xiao Ma encountered during his business trip made all kinds of mistakes. Every time Tencent entered a new field, whether it was domestic or foreign opponents, he made mistakes in a variety of ways. Xiao Ma continued to improve and deepen and thoroughly. In the end, the opponent died and Tencent grew stronger.
If you say qq is copying icq, you definitely don’t know that if you add a friend to icq, you can only log in locally. If you change to a computer, your friend list will be gone. You don’t know that icq can only chat online. When friends are not online, you can’t leave a message. This situation has lasted for several years, and icq doesn’t know how to improve it. Domestic picq, ticq, and gicq are also stupidly not improving it. By the time these domestic and foreign chat software reacted, qq has already broken through a bunch of peers and occupied most of the Chinese market.
Along the way, Ma Xiaoyun talked about his various ideas. Although this person had just come into contact with e-commerce, he had basically figured out the pulse of development and his main idea was clear and clear.
