Rebirth of the Wild Age

After pouring Ma Xiaoyun a glass of wine, Song Weiyang asked, Did you do a good job at People's Daily?

It's really boring, Ma Xiaoyun said, I'm still confused now, why did I come to the capital to build a website for someone? And the price was not discussed at the time, and now I have no other hope, this business can be done without losing money. good.

Hahaha! Song Weiyang laughed.

When Ma Xiaoyun fooled the leadership of People's Daily, he also fooled himself.

Song Weiyang asked: I heard that you met Ying Haiwei's Zhang Shuxin some time ago?

See, this Boss Zhang is too famous, Ma Xiaoyun shook her head again and again, She set up a bunch of servers and let people pay to go online, and she regarded herself as a telecommunications bureau in the Internet industry. When I communicated with her on the Internet, I was like a fool It’s not right, you can’t talk about it at all.”

Song Weiyang felt that the scene must be very interesting.

Both came into contact with the Internet by accident in the United States. One returned to China to create China's first Internet company, and the other returned to China to create China's first Yellow Pages website. But their understanding of the Internet is half-clinking, and they only see a certain partial function of the Internet, and they can't convince each other when they talk about it.

Come on, let's go, Ma Xiaoyun clinked glasses between cigarettes, I heard that you invested in Jinshan Company?

You know all of this? Song Weiyang asked, sipping his white wine.

China's Internet is so big, it has spread all over the world long ago, Ma Xiaoyun said, Can Kingsoft make money now?

Song Weiyang shook his head and said, I've been losing money all the time.

Then you still invest? Ma Xiaoyun asked.

There are not many who still insist on independent research and development of software, so they have to give it a shot, Song Weiyang said with a smile, Software is better than health care products.

Ma Xiaoyun said: Speaking of health care products, it seems that the giant group's capital chain has gone wrong. The news that the giant is about to collapse is everywhere these days.

The strides are too big, it's a mess. Song Weiyang said.

Hahahaha! Ma Xiaoyun was amused, he thought it was too funny.

The two chatted for a while, Song Weiyang said: I came to Beijing this time to investigate e-commerce.

Is that what 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 commerce, and several ministries and commissions took the lead in setting up a cgos. The publicity was very lively, but I haven't heard of any achievements.

Are you interested? Song Weiyang asked.

I'm interested. I'll talk about it after I finish People.com. Ma Xiaoyun said.

Do you want to go take a look with me? Song Weiyang said.

Yes. Ma Xiaoyun nodded immediately.

...

The next day, Song Weiyang and Ma Xiaoyun came to Jingcheng Shangyou Business Company, and the boss of the company came to receive them in person.

Song Weiyang was very disappointed. At this time, cgos only developed a system framework, and many functions were not complete, and it was in the internal trial operation stage. But with such a semi-finished product, there are major media to help promote it, making Song Weiyang think that the other party has succeeded.

The boss of Shangyou Company didn't understand technology, so he asked a consultant to explain to Song Weiyang.

The consultant's name was Li Qi, who had the same name and surname as the subordinate Ma Xiaoyun introduced yesterday. This person will become China's first e-commerce research doctor next year, publish China's first business e-commerce monograph, establish China's first e-commerce research institute, and obtain China's first e-commerce professional professor title.

From a theoretical point of view, Li Qi is the founder of China's e-commerce. Later, many students majoring in e-commerce came into contact with the first professional textbook written by Li Qi himself.

Boss Song, although China's online business is in its infancy, its development prospects are very promising, Li Qi introduced eloquently, We will establish a nationwide computer network and a large-scale distribution center, and build a network between enterprises, owners and business owners. The bridge of personal opinion realizes the network and informatization of the first-level commodity market! Last year, there were more than 13 million commercial retail enterprises in the country, and there were more than 200,000 in the capital area alone. Taking Beijing as an example, the national annual sales There are more than 200 large shopping malls worth over 100 million yuan, a quarter of which are in Beijing, and there are even more small and medium-sized sales enterprises. What a vast market this is? Although Xifeng Company has fixed sales channels, it is difficult to There are more than 200,000 retail companies in Beijing, and our electronic ordering system can make up for this gap!

Ma Xiaoyun originally came to visit with Song Weiyang, but at this moment his 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 formal operation?

Uh... Li Qi replied with some embarrassment, next summer at the latest, of course, it may be earlier.

Is the system ready? Song Weiyang asked.

Li Qi said: It has been completed, but there are still some minor problems, which are gradually being adjusted and improved.

Song Weiyang found out that he had been fooled. Cgos was hyped up in the media, but in fact, it was just a framework that was just set up to cheat superiors of funds and companies for investment.

Song Weiyang asked again how the system works, and Li Qi immediately replied that it seems that Shangyou Business Company is not completely lying, and they already have a relatively complete development plan.

This thing is divided into operation center and distribution center.

The business center is the business website. Those who sell things have to pay to access the network, and those who buy things have to pay to get information. The two parties can match each other online, and the system will automatically settle the price, so that the transaction intention can be reached simply, quickly and efficiently.

A distribution center is a large-scale distribution site, and warehouses must be built in various places, and even transportation equipment must be purchased. After the online transaction is completed, Shangyou Business Company will carry out logistics and distribution. The buyer will pay for the goods to Shangyou Company, and Shangyou Company will transfer the payment to the seller's account, and deduct logistics costs from it.

What the hell?

This broken company not only wants to be an e-commerce website, but also wants to be an intermediary agent, and also wants to do logistics business!

Not to mention anything else, just for the site in the capital area, the distribution center would need to invest at least 70 to 80 million yuan to build it. The ministries and commissions are definitely unwilling to invest so much money, so they can only find other companies to cooperate with, and most of them are state-owned enterprises. It will be years before the distribution center is built.

No wonder this e-commerce company, which has the background of three major ministries and commissions, various media publicity resources, and a green light on policies, was quickly eliminated by the market in history.

It is undeniable that the cgos system is beneficial to both sellers and buyers, with a large amount of information, fast communication, strong options, high transparency, and low transaction costs, breaking through middlemen and geographical constraints. If there is no competition from private e-commerce companies, it will definitely be able to grow bigger, bringing good news to countless production companies and sales companies.

It's a pity that the cgos system was established too early, before the Internet was popularized, and the profit at the beginning was not good. When the e-commerce environment began to mature, more and more similar companies rushed to grab the market and beat cgos to the ground with more flexible services.

I'm very willing to cooperate with Shangyou Business Company. After your cgos system is complete, Xifeng is willing to be the first customer. Song Weiyang expressed his attitude and let it go.

Although cgos is stupid, it is indeed a good channel, and cooperation should still be done.

Song Weiyang felt very disappointed, and asked Ma Xiaoyun halfway: What do you think?

Ma Xiaoyun said excitedly: If I were to do e-commerce, I would not be a distribution center, but would focus on website information and transaction systems. Shangyou Commerce Company is too demanding. This is an old problem of state-owned enterprises. Internet companies cannot This way.

Are you ready to enter? Song Weiyang smiled.

Ma Xiaoyun said: When People.com is finished, I will immediately clear my shares in China Yellow Pages and fully enter the e-commerce market! Lao Song, thank you very much, you let me find a business direction.

If you are engaged in e-commerce, you can come to me if you are short of money. Song Weiyang smiled happily.

For sure, you are the big money maker. Ma Xiaoyun said.

Historically, Ma Xiaoyun started e-commerce in 1997 and built several websites in one go, both domestically and abroad. It's a pity that the Internet environment is immature, and these websites make profits and losses, and are barely in a state of capital preservation. It was also very difficult to establish Alibaba later, and it would be dead until after 2000. Only when the Internet became popular can it develop and grow.

But Ma Xiaoyun didn't know this. He was already full of ambition and felt that the e-commerce market had huge potential.

In fact, the most powerful e-commerce website is 8848. B2C is doing well, but it believes in the Yankee Internet concept and changes to b2b. Over the past few years, the main business has been changed back and forth, making me dizzy, and the shareholders have various conflicts. In the end, Ma Xiaoyun was taken advantage of for nothing.

There are many situations like this, and every opponent that Xiao Ma met on his way to start a business has made mistakes of one kind or another. Every time Tencent enters a new field, no matter whether it is domestic or foreign opponents, they make mistakes in different ways, but Xiao Ma keeps improving and deepening. In the end, the opponent dies and Tencent grows stronger.

Those who say that qq copied icq must not know that after adding friends to icq, you can only log in locally. If you change to another computer, your friend list will be gone. I don't know that icq can only chat online, and you can't leave a message when your friends are not online. This situation has been going on for several years, and icq doesn't even know how to improve it, and the domestic picq, ticq, and gicq also foolishly don't improve. By the time these domestic and foreign chat software reacted, QQ had already made its way out of a bunch of peers and occupied most of the Chinese market.

Along the way, Ma Xiaoyun talked about his various ideas. Although this person has just come into contact with e-commerce, he has basically grasped the pulse of development, and the main idea is clear and definite.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, I also invested in an Internet company in the capital called Sohu. I'll take you to have a look.
