Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

Therefore, although Ma Huateng used the e-phone to make a comeback, Chen Yu was not particularly anxious.

Let's not talk about whether Ma Huateng can eat the voice and video market.

Even if he could eat it, at most he was just the YY of his previous life.

Of course, although Chen Yu wasn't particularly anxious, Chen Yu didn't want to see Ma Huateng threatening him in any way.

"Alibaba's Taobao, brother Jian, what do you think?"

After dealing with YY, Chen Yu turned to Taobao again.

Huanyu Technology actually had an e-commerce business before, but it had been busy making games and instant messaging before, and the e-commerce business was just hanging there without focusing on development.But now, e-commerce is the time to enter.

"Alibaba recently received a financing of 5000 million US dollars and launched a new c2c business Taobao. Relying on their previous b2b business, and Taobao also launched a completely free model, many individual merchants ran away at once. Taobao, the transaction volume is rising rapidly.”

"It's free...it's estimated that the fee will be recovered elsewhere in the future."

Taobao is of course free.

You can open a store for free, you can sell things for free.

However, this is just to attract sellers.

When the Taobao platform becomes bigger and stronger, it will start to squeeze wool.

"We also think so, but free is a good model. Mr. Chen, I think we should make efforts in the e-commerce market."

"It should."

Chen Yu nodded.

Although Taobao was established first, it also launched c2c business first.

But that's okay.

It will take a long time for e-commerce to mature.

"Brother Jian, set up an e-commerce department immediately and launch a new c2c business platform. Like Taobao, we also launch a free model. In addition, build an e-commerce marketing team to allow more sellers to join our platform."

E-commerce in 2003 was still in its infancy.

For the early e-commerce, the first step is to attract more sellers.

Only with more and more sellers can there be a variety of e-commerce products.

Furthermore, with the emergence of diversified products, ordinary users are interested in online shopping experience.

……

After giving instructions to Zhang Jianming and Li Nan, Chen Yu didn't stop, and called Wang Chang over again.

"Wang Chang, is there any suitable candidate for the portal site?"

Li Nan is in charge of YY. However, Li Nan has some research on instant messaging, but he is a layman in the operation of portal websites.When Ma Huateng and Mr. Ma got together to launch a new business, Chen Yu realized the cruelty of the market.

If he's not careful, a competitor could be ahead of him.

Just like the voice and video business is the same as the e-commerce business.

Under the influence of Chen Yu, the butterfly, 2003 and 2003 in the previous life have slowly begun to change.

Although the portal business is not in a hurry, he doesn't want to wait any longer. He must make his portal as big as possible.

"Chen Tong, editor-in-chief of Xinlang, is very experienced in content construction."

"Can you dig?"

"I'll give it a try."

"Don't go, let the headhunter communicate with him quietly. They are more professional than us when it comes to poaching people."

Although the YY portal has just been launched recently, it hasn't made any big moves.

At the same time, it is temporarily unable to compete with Xinlang in terms of professionalism and IP streaming.

Even, it cannot be compared with Netease Sohu.

But after all, with YY as an instant messaging artifact, any portal would regard Huanyu Technology as a competitor.

If Wang Chang went there in person, the probability of success is not high.

"Mr. Chen, Alibaba Chairman Jack Ma invites you to participate in the Internet West Lake Discussion of Swords."

After flipping through the arrangements, his assistant Xia Zhu handed over the faxed invitation letter he had just received to Chen Yu.

"Oh, who is participating?"

"In addition to you, Ma Yun also invited Ma Huateng, Xinlang Chairman Cao Guowei, NetEase President Ding Lei, Sohu founder Zhang Chaoyang... In addition, Microsoft's Bill also invited him. By the way, there is also Mr. Jin Yong .”

"It looks like they are all here to deal with me."

Chen Yu smiled: "Reply to Ma Yun, thank you for the invitation, I will definitely participate."

Chapter 367: Six major factions besiege Guangmingding

West Lake Lunjian is a gathering of Internet bigwigs.

This party was initiated by Jack Ma in 2000.

However, at that time, Jack Ma was just a recruit on the Internet, and he didn't have much reputation.He was worried that these Internet giants would not buy his account, so he thought of Jin Yong.He invited Mr. Jin Yong from Xiangjiang to the mainland, so, relying on Jin Yong's reputation, a lot of Internet bigwigs happily attended the meeting.

For the first time, Ma Yun invited Wang Zhidong, the founder of Sina, Ding Lei of Netease, Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu, and Wang Juntao, the big brother of China's e-commerce, 8848.

The second time the West Lake Lunjian was in 2001. At this time, Wang Zhidong was kicked out by Xin Lang, and then the new CEO Wang Sing was hired to replace him.

For the third West Lake Discussion of Swords, Wang Juntao did not receive Ma Yun's invitation again, because Wang Juntao also left from 8848, and 8848 has entered into decline.The three major portals are also struggling to transform, and online games have risen suddenly this year.Therefore, Ma Yun invited Chen Tianqiao, Zhu Jun from Ninetowns, and Liang Jianzhang from the future.As for Huanyu Technology, for some reason, there was no invitation.

In 2003, it was the fourth West Lake Discussion of Swords...

Relying on the previous three times of discussing swords in ancient lakes.

From the original Internet recruit, Jack Ma has become an Internet tycoon-level figure.

Although his business is not the best, nor is he making the most money, but he is the most popular.

This time, Jack Ma invited Chen Yu.

Although he knew that Ma Yun's invitation this time was a bit like a Hongmen banquet, Chen Yu had nothing to be afraid of.

Moreover, he also wanted to meet the legendary Mr. Jin Yong.

You know, he was a fan of Jin Yong since he was a child.

Although not the same as Teacher Ma, each of the Eighteen Arhats has to be named after Jin Yong's novels.

But for Jin Yong, Chen Yu also respected him immensely.

Of course, this can also show how awesome Teacher Ma is.

Back then, he was not well-known, but with Mr. Jin Yong's fame, he immediately broke into the circle of big shots.

Now, he seems to have become a big boss now.

Although the strength of Jack Ma is not that great, but after three sessions of the West Lake Discussion of Swords, the status of the boss has been achieved.

A few days later, Chen Yu and his assistant Xia Zhu went to Hangzhou.

Alibaba's headquarters is in Hangzhou.

Similarly, West Lake is also in Hangzhou.

Chen Yu arrived in Hangzhou one day earlier.

I didn't come to Hangzhou first to visit the West Lake, although Chen Yu also wanted to have a play.

But he is not in the mood to play now, he is to inspect the small commodities in Hangzhou.

Some people in previous lives said that Taobao's success has a lot to do with its headquarters in Hangzhou.

This is not to say that Hangzhou's economy is more developed than Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou.

As the capital of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou has always been a center of small commodities.

In e-commerce, the largest sales volume is actually small commodities.

Clothing, accessories, printing, handicrafts, cosmetics, toys... These small commodities in Zhejiang Province are almost sold all over the world.

It is precisely because there are so many small commodities here that Taobao has accumulated countless sellers in its early development.

This also enriches the source of goods for Taobao.

Although it only took one day to investigate, it is almost like watching flowers on horseback.

But even if he just took a quick look at the flowers, Chen Yu was extremely shocked by the small commodities in Hangzhou.

At that moment, Chen Yu made a decision.

After discussing swords in West Lake, he planned to move the headquarters of his e-commerce platform to Hangzhou.

……

"President Ma, Chen Yu has arrived in Hangzhou."

"He came one day earlier, did he go to West Lake?"

"No, I went to the Small Commodity City at Hangzhou East Railway Station."

"hiss……"

Ma Yun frowned: "It seems that Universal Technology is determined to engage in e-commerce."

Before Ma Yun realized that Universal Technology will enter the e-commerce market sooner or later.

As for the reason, what else?

5173 has already started doing e-commerce.

It's just that Huanyu Technology didn't have so much energy at that time, and the development of e-commerce in 5173 was not big, and it was mainly electronic products.But now that Universal Technology has eliminated QQ and accumulated a lot of funds through online games, it will be a matter of time before they enter e-commerce.

Originally, Ma Yun thought that even if Chen Yu entered the e-commerce market, it might not be able to do anything?

After all, e-commerce is neither instant messaging nor online games.

He has other ways as well.

But today when Chen Yu came here, he went straight to the Small Commodity City at Hangzhou East Railway Station, which surprised Ma Yun.

You know, Alibaba and Taobao can be introduced to the market, and these small commodities have made great contributions.

Whether it is wholesale or retail, small commodities in Zhejiang Province are deeply loved by people all over the country.

No, even the favorite of people all over the world.

If it were not for the limited funds, Jack Ma would even want to enter the global market.

"Zhao Xi, it seems we have a tough battle to fight."

……

The next day, the [-]th West Lake Lunjian was officially unveiled.

Different from Internet forums organized by the government, West Lake Lunjian is very famous, but it is private in nature.

Ma Yun does not invite everyone, after all, Ma Yun who does not have this qualification will not invite.

It can be said that everyone who can accept Jack Ma's invitation is a big boss.

Even if it is not particularly well-known, it is at least a leader in the industry.

However, although it was not open to the public, because West Lake Lunjian was so famous, even if there were only a few people attending, it was purely a chatting gathering, and countless media reporters rushed to come.

At this time, the party has not yet started, but beside the large balcony on the 8th floor of the "Langer Hotel", dozens of media reporters have already set up their positions, waiting for the guests who came to the meeting.

The reason for choosing the 8th floor instead of the top city is that Mr. Jin is old and afraid of heights.

And the reason why we chose the balcony is that this time, the discussion of swords is purely a party, just for everyone to chat.

However, whether it is a balcony or not, it doesn't look very formal. Today, the major media are already looking forward to the meeting of the Internet bigwigs, whether they can collide again and create sparks.

"Will Mr. Jin Yong come this year?"

"Come."

"Didn't Mr. Jin Yong say that his health is not very good, and he doesn't want to travel back and forth from Xiangjiang to Hangzhou?"

"It was reported that this was the case before, but Mr. Jin Yong changed his mind again."
