Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

The newly born eBay online marketplace has faced strong rivals before it has even had time to get on the fast track.

On September 9, software engineer Pierre Omidyar founded eBay in San Jose, California.

With Amazon and eBay online bazaars at the forefront, Pierre's creative planning has been favored by many capital companies. Sequoia Capital and GGV Capital have joined eBay's entrepreneurial financing. E-commerce is becoming a sought-after investment in the Silicon Valley capital market. Object.

eBay has taken advantage of its first-mover advantage and star effect to gain a certain lead. Pierre has taken a different approach, starting from hobbies and taking a more local and civilian route, using the banner of looking for like-minded partners to snatch away countless With a small market share, there is a faint feeling that latecomers are catching up.

Li Heping didn't want to be beaten by a newly established company, so he could only actively mobilize resources and mobilize all the celebrities and artists under Qianhai Media again. All used and idle items were moved to the eBay online market. Finally managed to hold on to the lead.

In this asymmetrical competition, Pierre's business talent was brought to full play, and he continued to make a fuss about like-minded interests and hobbies, subdividing the auction area according to hobbies such as travel, movies, sports, art, music, dance, etc. Used to exchange their respective collections, just the exchange of DVDs and records has created a new record.

This shows the importance of the founder's business talent to a company.

At his wits' end, Li Heping had no choice but to run to Yang Mo's house for help...

"Peace, Mieko, why are you two free to come together today? Come in and sit down, Yang Mo will be home soon, I will add two more dishes..." Lin Yan still couldn't bear to quit his job as the dean of the department at Huaqing University, so he could only use They come to visit relatives during the winter and summer vacations, but the two of them are used to this kind of life of getting together less and being apart more.

"Lin Yan, I'm causing you trouble. Let Miezi go to the kitchen to help you..." Li Heping said politely.

When Yang Mo arrived home, he saw an open bottle of Maotai on the table, and laughed and said: "Heping, I am taking advantage of you today. I usually have strict control at home and do not allow high alcohol consumption..."

"Don't talk nonsense, and don't be afraid of people laughing at you!" Lin Yan said angrily.

"Heping, you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing? What? Are you in trouble?" Yang Mo asked while pouring wine.

"Mr. Yang, you are really right. According to the latest data, the number of eBay users is rising rapidly. According to this trend, it will be able to catch up with eBay in at most half a year!" Li Heping said with some frustration.

Yang Mo nodded and said: "There is still something worth learning from eBay's interest classification. It is also better than us in web page optimization. Your backend review is too slow! Keyword filtering needs to be optimized. They are better than us. Learn from others and don’t lose your temper. We are all start-ups and we have to cross the river by feeling the stones!”

Li Heping said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Yang, you also know that asking me to be responsible for business planning is to rush the ducks to the shelves. I will just talk about mergers and acquisitions. How about you find another CEO for eBay?"

Yang Mo smiled and said: "Then you should make eBay bigger and stronger as soon as possible and strive to acquire eBay as soon as possible. Pierre is a good CEO!"

Li Heping smiled bitterly and said: "I'm at the end of my rope now, and I can't think of any way to quickly increase the number of eBay users. If this continues, it would be great if we don't get acquired by eBay!"

Yang Mo said in a hurry: "Look at your potential, you just want to lie down when you encounter a little setback. Do you look down on startups like eBay?"

Li Heping said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Yang, money comes quickly from the capital market. This auction website feels like it has nothing to do..."

Yang Mo said disdainfully: "Money comes in and goes out quickly in the capital market. Your wealth can be wiped out overnight. Now is the initial stage of the information revolution. Social wealth and global industrial layout will all change because of information." The revolution is redistributed and we are on the cusp of a situation that could rewrite history!”

"Look at what you said, it's almost astonishing to say peace!" Lin Yan said with a smile.

"Do you think I'm joking? The era of information revolution will bring fundamental changes to many industries, and the high-end manufacturing industry chain will also shift with the development of information technology!" Yang Mo said seriously.

"Speaking of high-end manufacturing, we at Huaqing University were discussing not long ago whether our country should give up high-end manufacturing?" Lin Yan said.

"Is this even necessary to discuss? Are everyone in your school mentally retarded?" Yang Mo said disdainfully.

Lin Yan choked back: "You are retarded! The global cooperation and the theory of "two ends outside, big in and big out" preached by Professor Gao Ling of the Department of Economics and Management is very popular in Huaqing University, and it almost has an overwhelming advantage!"

"This fool who has harmed the country and the people! Under his theoretical guidance, China will forever be reduced to an OEM company! The most important raw materials and brand premium part of an industrial chain have been handed over to others, and both ends are outside. The downstream industrial chain is in the hands of others, so why don't you just wait for others to choke you?" Yang Mo scolded somewhat gaffefully.

"I think so too. Who doesn't want to have higher wages and live a better life? We are not stupider than others. Your Zhiyuan Group has higher wages than other companies. Isn't it because you are engaged in high-end manufacturing? Raw materials and The brand is all in my own hands!" Lin Yan also said angrily.

Yang Mo smiled bitterly and said: "There is a market for people like Gao Ling at Huaqing University. It shows that the modern history of suffering has caused many people to lose national and cultural self-confidence. They believe from the bottom of their hearts that their skills are inferior to others, so they should engage in low-added value jobs." Labor-intensive industries, rather than changing the unequal world business landscape!"

"By the way, Yang Mo, our school is going to invite some celebrities and scholars to give speeches at the school. Why don't you condescend to come to our school and establish a correct outlook on life, world view, and values ​​for the students?" Lin Yan said.

"I think it's okay. After school starts, I'll send Lin Yan back home!" Li Heping agreed.

"It's not impossible, but my appearance fee is not cheap..." Yang Mo said with some arrogance.

"How dare you ask our school for money! Just donate a little and that's enough!" Lin Yan said "arrogantly".

"Okay! For the sake of my wife, I will waive the appearance fee! It doesn't hurt to donate a little. How about your school help me build a bronze statue?" Yang Mo said with a playful smile.

"I think it will work! How about we stop building a temple for you and enshrine you with this tail that is going to rise to the sky? If there is no place to put it, just put it behind the temple as a flagpole!" After Lin Yan pondered for a moment, he said He said with a serious face.

"I'm Monkey Sun?" Yang Mo yelled in cooperation.

The crowd laughed...
