Four hundred and sixtieth IX had to obey

In Los Gatus' bar, Hastings suddenly became energetic. Oh, this guy is so brave that he even dares to provoke that famous woman who is not easy to mess with.

He glanced at Randolph, who said in a drunken state, "I don't know this either,"

But he stretched out his finger and pointed a few times at Hastings, "But I know you're gloating,"

"Is there any?" Hastings happily drank a glass of champagne.

If there is really, he didn't hide his gloom at all.

Although he admired Feng Yiping and had to bow his head to Feng Yiping next, this does not mean that he has no objection to Feng Yiping. On the contrary, he has a big opinion of this guy who drove him out of the company he founded and is very happy to see him encounter more trouble.

"I love this show so much, to Charlie," he raised his glass.

"Jing Feng," Randolph also raised his glass.

"No, I have to let Patty record this episode,"

The Charlie Ross show is different from Oprah's warmth and the funnyness of other talk shows. The target characters he interviews are relatively high-end, such as presidents and prime ministers of various countries, Nobel Prize winners, academic masters, Oscar winners and successful entrepreneurs.

So it's relatively serious, but this doesn't mean that his problem will not be sharp.

As long as it is a TV program, there are ratings requirements. The Charlie Rose Show has been broadcast in 1991 and is still very popular. It is not just professionalism.

The other side of this host who is the same age as Feng Yiping's father, looks gentle and always better at listening is that the questions he raised are sharp and unexpected.

Feng Yiping was a little stunned, "We and eBay do compete in some fields, but that is a normal business category and there is no conflict at all."

Feng Yiping spoke very well.

At this time, if you really follow his words and attack the other party, it will be hopeless.

“Ebay is a large responsible company, and Ms. Whitman is an outstanding business leader. The competition between our two companies has a positive driving force for both parties,” he said.

Hastings laughed again, "Compet with ebay? Why do I think he is lifting himself up?"

This is true. If you say one day that a giant like Microsoft treats you as an opponent, it will also indicate your company's status.

In the e-commerce field, ebay is a giant.

"They do have competition. Didn't ebay target them very much on group buying projects a while ago?" Randolph said.

"For example, we can now find that more and more individuals and families are using group buying services. Although this business model is our first,"

When you are on such a show, of course you have to highlight your own company, and that's the truth.

“But it is precisely because of the follow-up and participation of companies like Amazon and ebay that this market is getting bigger and bigger, and we welcome such beneficial competition,” he said.

He emphasized his tone on "benefit". Compared to Charlie Rose, he also understood that the competition between ebay and nextdoor on group buying a while ago was definitely not beneficial.

This is also decided by objective reasons. To be fair, Whitman is naturally an excellent company leader, but because she is a woman, some methods are inevitably feminine or stingy.

For example, when we first started competing with Taobao advertising, we put on Google and Baidu ads "Taobao, go to eBay" ads, and said on our own website, "Taobao, open a store, and enjoy life."

As a result, there was nothing to say on Taobao, and Taobao didn't say anything. Her two advertisements had to withdraw them by themselves because they caused public outrage in the industry.

As for the fact that Feng Yiping took his anger at nextdoor because of investing in Taobao, it seems normal to her, but in fact it is not professional.

"No, I'm not talking about this," Charlie Ross shook his head. "I think your biggest conflict is caused by the fierce competition between two e-commerce websites in China,"

"You took over the Alibaba shares held by Goldman Sachs, and ebay acquired a local e-commerce company in China and invested huge sums of money to launch targeted competition," he said.

“Ebay invested a full $100 million in advertising costs,” Feng Yiping added. “They signed clear exclusive agreements with all the large websites. In the absence of advertising carriers, Alibaba simply froze the advertising costs in the early seven months.”

"What's the result now?" Charlie Rose asked with his hands on his left cheek.

"Just like the growing group buying market in the United States, China's e-commerce market is also growing with the promotion of large advertising expenses. EBay acquired by eBay still occupies the largest market share, but Taobao's share is also rising,"

His words were very tactful. To put it bluntly, Taobao defeated ebay in this round.

"How do you evaluate this competition?"

"First of all, I want to make a point. I was involved. It was actually very innocent. You know, I have a good relationship with Goldman Sachs. Last year, they didn't want to hold shares in Alibaba and asked for my opinion as soon as possible. I also thought it was good. I quickly finalized this investment. I really didn't intend to intervene in such competition."

"As for this competition, I think the most important experience is that even if you have to burn money, you have to put it in the stove. Even if you still may not cook a pot of rice, you can at least heat a pot of water,"

Feng Yiping couldn't help but sarcastically, "His Queen, are you watching?" I guess you can't laugh when you see my words, but you probably can't even eat."

He guessed very accurately. When Whitman saw this scene, he not only had a pale complexion, but even the precious crystal cup in his hand almost fell to the ground. Feng Yiping's words must have sprinkled a handful of salt on her bloody wound.

Although we know that Feng Yiping's words are true, and not even all the frustrations of eBay, under the influence of Taobao's promise of "free service", the board of directors has determined to lower the fees of eBay eBay at the beginning of next month.

In other words, they spent such a huge price not only to prevent Taobao from disappearing, but to make it stronger. Sadly, they had to take the initiative to lower the relevant fees, which is the so-called disaster will not happen alone.

What she was thinking about now was how to make Feng Yiping sad again.

In terms of business, let’s forget it. She has no choice but to deal with Feng Yiping with the only group buying that has intersections. As for other aspects, whether it is social or video websites, let alone the company she is in charge of now that has nothing to do with those two aspects, even other social websites, have already been left behind early.

Maybe, let Barry think of a solution again?

Isn’t the report from USA Today useful?

Also, it seems that matters related to Paypal's entry into China must be stepped up.

In fact, among Feng Yiping's words, there is another layer that is hard to say to anyone, especially the meaning of not being able to say to ebay. Since they are all so big, they spend hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising that is not very effective, why not just click on Taobao for free?

EBay is also in the money burning stage. According to the current charging policy, how can it recover 100 million US dollars? Why can't it be avoided?

Don’t they know that the money spent directly on users is the best advertisement?

If ebay would be free, even if Taobao survived, it would be difficult to achieve the same kind of success later.

Why don’t those people at ebay do this? This is a problem that he has been unable to figure out after he figured out the competition between the two.

Perhaps, arrogant?

…………

"You are more optimistic about Taobao yourself?" Charlie Rose continued.

"Yes, I think Taobao is more suitable for the Chinese market than eBay, which is a pro-copy American model,"

Do you still need to hesitate about this question? How many of the shopkeepers later knew that the e-commerce company that accounts for the largest proportion in China now?

"That is, will you continue to invest in Alibaba and support Taobao?"

"I have no reason not to do this," Feng Yiping smiled brightly. Isn't it just supporting Taobao?

"Finally, let's talk about your recent moves, youtube, a website that caused a nationwide sensation as soon as it was launched, is your main preparation for Netflix?"

"Yes, we are very happy to see that the hardware level is getting better and better now, and it can fully support netizens to watch related videos smoothly on the Internet."

"Soon, Netflix will complete another merger, but this time the acquisition is Netflix, which is acquired, and it is youtube. With youtube, we will divide Netflix into two parts, traditional DXD leasing, and Netflix's streaming business,"

Feng Yiping revealed a new direction for Netflix's development in front of the public for the first time.

The representatives of Hollywood film and television companies gathered in the bar finally understood Feng Yiping’s arrangements for the first time. No wonder they had to re-discuss the matter of sharing the money.

If those films and TV dramas can be put online so that everyone can watch them on computers and other terminals at any time, such services will obviously be more attractive to many people. It can be foreseen that Netflix's registered users will usher in a significant increase.

"And you know that videos are always more three-dimensional and cooler than voice. The slogan of our website is 'broadcastyourself', which means showing yourself. We just want to give more people this opportunity so that this platform can record more details in life,"

"So, just youtube, do you expect its future development, or, in other words, what type do you want it to develop in the future?"

"It will definitely help Netflix bring more and more registered users, and I can fully expect that in the future, it will help more and more people become hosts like you. Of course, it will definitely not be comparable to you,"

"The programs they produce will no longer have to bother with the TV network. They can be broadcast directly on youtube. Through clicks from other users, they can also receive rewards,"

Charlie Rose's eyes were a little straight, and he was a little out of control over the entire interview. This was the first time he showed such an expression tonight. Can everyone become the host?

And you can also receive rewards? How is it possible?

But when you think about it carefully, isn’t that the case?

Randolph glanced at Hastings, wondering why he was so quiet now, and then he saw Hastings staring at the TV.

Humph, I know it will shock you.

In terms of grasping future trends, who can be better than Feng, who is always at the forefront?

"Are you convinced?" he asked.

The Hollywood people in another bar were also confused. Does this mean that in the future, those who have no strength and are unprofessional people can also compete for business with themselves? Because they don’t need to publish them at all, just upload their works to youtube.

This is simply inevitable, and at least one company is ready to compete for business with them.

"With the development of other related technologies, we are also doing this, such as the research on TV boxes. I think soon, our users will be able to on-demand videos on TV," he said.

Everyone knows the situation more than ten years later that the opening rate of PC and other terminals is much greater than that of TV. You may spend more than four hours a day on computers, smartphones, and tablets, and watching TV may be less than forty minutes.

But at present, it is still a period when computers and TVs are beginning to compete for users. Due to the influence of pixels, screen size, and cable programs, TVs are still the most important entertainment terminal in the family.

"From the existing technology, the integration of telecommunications networks, radio and television networks, and the Internet in high-level business applications, this is bound to happen. It won't take long, maybe we can easily see our show on the computer,"

"I think I understand why Feng you are so successful, because you can always be one step ahead of others at critical moments,"

Yes, when it comes to grasping the future development trends, I really can't find an opponent. I'm really lonely in life.

"I hope the day you said will come soon," Charlie Screw sorted out the stack of papers in front of him, "Thank you for your participation today,"

This last paragraph touched him so much that he had to think about it.

Feng Yiping smiled and signed an autograph for a staff member. Charlie Ross said with a smile, "Feng, I'm wondering if we're uploading all of our videos to your website now,"
