Become the richest man in the world starting from the rebirth of college entrance examination

At present, a lot of information exchange between different industries is not smooth. For example, although eBay noticed that a competitor was contacting merchants on its platform everywhere and knew that the other party was called Taobao, they did not take it seriously.

Because no business model is exclusive, especially e-commerce websites that do not require too much technical reserves. There are dozens of e-commerce websites of all sizes in China. Some are rivals to eBay, while others are not to be feared. Many platforms ran out of money and traffic after they went online and soon closed down. They also didn't know the details of Taobao, what team it was made of, and what resources Taobao had.

For the MP3 industry, they knew that Wangwa.com had cooperated with a brand called Lychee to produce an MP3 with shockingly low prices, but they didn't know what channels Lychee used to sell it, and they didn't know that it was ready to go online with an e-commerce website called Taobao.

If there is someone here who understands the e-commerce industry, the MP3 industry, and Haobo Technology, he may be able to unravel the various pieces of information and sort out the context behind them, but Zhou Hao protects his privacy very well, so at the moment, apart from his own people, no one can integrate so much information from various industries together.

Boss Ma, who lives far away in Zhejiang Province, has been involved in e-commerce for several years, but he has always provided services between businesses and has not been involved in online transactions.

After several years of development and with a large investment from SoftBank, Alibaba is now a large and powerful Internet company. Boss Ma is keenly aware that Alibaba, which is rooted in small and medium-sized enterprises, is finding it increasingly difficult to develop. He feels that the real core of e-commerce is by no means to integrate with small and medium-sized enterprises, nor to provide them with an information exchange platform. With the continuous development of social productivity, national GDP and the world's large-scale commodity circulation, the core of e-commerce must sink to the terminal retail link.

Boss Ma's Internet thinking and e-commerce thinking all come from the United States. He is very clear about the business models of AY and AAZON, and also understands the significance of PayPal's existence. In fact, he is now thinking about the feasibility of operating retail e-commerce in China, and he also understands the B2B, B2C, and C2C models. Alibaba is currently doing B2B, but the ceiling for B2B in China is too low, and he can easily see the top. For him, he is not satisfied with the status quo. He has been thinking about the feasibility of B2C and even C2C in China since last year. After continuous deliberation, he has decided that Alibaba's next development direction is to do C2C.

Similar to Zhou Hao, Boss Ma also thinks long-term and has a strong ability to connect resources. He is now doing b2b, and is also laying the foundation for future c2c. If the time is right, he will convert the b part of b2b into the c part of c2c, thereby smoothly converting resources and building a new e-commerce platform rooted in retail.

In this concept, Boss Ma had long thought about first improving the eBay model in the domestic market, and then imitating PayPal to create an online payment channel based on RMB settlement, but he never waited for the right opportunity, so these ideas have not been implemented.

When Zhou Hao created Alipay, Boss Ma was nervous for a while. The core concepts of Alipay and PayPal were exactly the same, and this was also the product model he was planning to imitate in the future. Suddenly, it was created by someone else, and he was worried that the other party would target the e-commerce market like him.

But the birth of Alipay is very special. It is a companion product of the completely public welfare platform Light of Hope. This made Boss Ma feel a little relieved. In his view, Alipay is a tool created by Zhou Hao for Light of Hope. Although Zhou Hao later opened Alipay to third parties, this should be an unintentional achievement. As long as Zhou Hao does not enter e-commerce, he does not have to worry.

But recently, Boss Ma has heard some news from various sources and smelled something wrong.

What puzzled him first was the sensation that Lychee caused in the MP3 industry.

When he first heard that Lychee was customized by Wangwa.com, he thought it was interesting, because Internet companies and hardware companies are now clearly distinguished. He has never heard of an Internet company that stopped playing with software and started playing with hardware. Wangwa.com is the first one to do this.

As a person who has a deep understanding of the Internet, Boss Ma has a new respect for Wangwa.com. He thinks that an Internet company dares to touch hardware and can cause a stir in the hardware industry, which is remarkable in itself. It also proves that Internet companies have great room for development and diverse development directions.

But as he got to know more about lychee and the MP3 industry, Boss Ma found one thing that was particularly difficult to understand: the cost of lychee.

He and the people in the mp3 industry have different perspectives on the issue. The mp3 industry thinks that Lychee wants to enter the mp3 industry to steal jobs, but Boss Ma thinks that Lychee looks more like a tool of Wangwa.com. Since Wangwa.com is backed by Haobo Technology, he is even more curious about this matter. Haobo Technology is developing rapidly, so how could it be interested in the small amount of money from mp3? What is its real purpose?

The selling price of Lychee is close to the cost, which makes people even more curious. The channel cost of hardware sales is high, and laying out the channels requires huge manpower and material resources, while maintaining the channels requires a lot of profit. This is also the reason why the price of hardware remains high. What ability do Wangwa.com and Haobo Technology have to save this cost?

The entire MP3 industry has not heard of Lychee or Wangwa.com opening exclusive stores or counters yet. The advertised sales date is getting closer and closer, but there are no offline channels. How are they going to sell Lychee units by then?

Combining the above three questions with his own understanding of e-commerce, Boss Ma vaguely felt that Lychee should adopt an online sales model, as only online sales could solve the problems of cost and sales channels.

But there is still one question that remains unsolved. What is the motive for doing this? Just to sell MP3s? Impossible. Even if you kill me, Mr. Ma will never believe it.

Is it for e-commerce? This is a very possible possibility!

After much thought, Boss Ma felt that Haobo Technology should want to use Wangwa.com to build a music-related B2C platform, and at the same time create a music-related hardware brand, so that an ecological chain can be formed. However, he did not expect that he was looking at Bay and PayPal, while Zhou Hao was looking at Taobao and Alipay. Everyone copied him and I copied you, which is itself a fusion of you in him and me in you. No matter who came up with the idea first, whoever wins in this creative field will be the best.

Boss Ma has recently asked a team to pay special attention to Wangwa.com, Haobo Technology and Lychee. Today is the day when Lychee goes on sale, and Boss Ma is very curious about what Haobo Technology is up to. So he plans to work overtime with this team to see what secrets the launch of Lychee today contains that he has not guessed.

Zhou Hao stayed at Taobao until around five o'clock and then left.

On the way back to school, he first called Zhao Yueying and made an appointment to pick her up at the school gate, and then go to get the cake together. Then he called his roommates to inform them to prepare to meet at the restaurant. In addition to the five roommates, Zhou Hao also invited Yu Yanhui and his girlfriend to take this opportunity for everyone to get together.

Since the hotel was not far from the school, Zhou Hao did not drive. He parked the car and walked to the school gate to wait for Zhao Yueying to come out.

Zhao Yueying deliberately slipped out early, and when she saw Zhou Hao, she said, "Let's go get the cake first, then go to the restaurant to order the dishes and notify everyone to come over."

Zhou Hao said: "Then I'll ask them to leave later and wait for my call."

Zhao Yueying took Zhou Hao's arm and came to a cake shop not far from the school. Zhao Yueying ordered the largest fruit cake for Zhou Hao and even had someone write "Happy Birthday, dear Zhou Hao" in the middle of the cake with chocolate sauce. The signature was a single word: Ying.

The two of them came to the restaurant together and ordered a table of dishes. After the cold dishes were served, Zhou Hao called everyone to come over.

Everyone who had been prepared arrived soon. Li Chong, Su Zhao and Cheng Jiayuan were the only ones there, Jing Menghan had to take care of her mother, so Ni Gaomin was also alone. Only Qiao Boyu brought his girlfriend Yang Lingling, and Yu Yanhui brought his girlfriend.

Zhao Yueying was very used to appearing here as Zhou Hao's girlfriend. She usually didn't talk much, but today she was very enthusiastic to everyone, constantly asking everyone what they wanted to eat or drink. She was particularly concerned about a few girls, acting like a hostess.

Several men wanted to drink some beer, so they asked the waiter to bring some cold beer. As soon as the beer was served, Qiao Boyu took the initiative to stand up and open it. He opened seven bottles in one breath and gave one bottle to each man present.

Seeing him handing Zhou Hao a bottle of beer, Zhao Yueying said to Qiao Boyu, "Don't let Zhou Hao drink today. He and the other two drank too much yesterday. Let him have a drink today."

Qiao Boyu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Hao can drink a lot. I've known him for so long and I've never seen him drunk. When we left yesterday, he was fine and even sent us downstairs."

Zhou Hao's heart skipped a beat, thinking that something was wrong, he forgot to tell them, and Qiao Boyu spoke without warning, and he was immediately exposed.
