Top of the big era

The next morning, Zhou Buqi asked Meng Houkun if he wanted to bring some gifts to visit his elders in the hospital. Meng Houkun said no, there were too many people here in the hospital, including relatives, friends, colleagues and subordinates, and there was no place for them.

There are too many people and it’s hard to remember who they are, so there’s no need.

Now that Curry has no match, he may have to wait three to five days for the surgery. There is no rush. He will take leave in the morning and return to the company in the afternoon.

Zhou Buqi also doesn't like this kind of polite interaction, so it would be better not to go.

Go directly to Jingdong with Sun Wanran to meet Liu Qiangdong.

Lao Liu is very fierce now.

He has an aura that defies the sky and the earth. He is the chief business influencer on Weibo, with all kinds of high-profile and fierce actions. Last year, after Dangdang went public, JD.com launched its book business, and an e-commerce war began. This also set off an unprecedented and fierce e-commerce market fire in the domestic e-commerce field.

Especially after the beginning of spring, the real giant has come to an end - Ali!

In the current e-commerce industry, there is a very popular outlet, which is shopping guide websites. The "preferred channels" of Friends.com and Toutiao are actually also shopping guide websites.

However, unlike many shopping guide websites on the market, Ziweixing’s “Preferred Channel” is very friendly and proactively cooperates with e-commerce platforms. For example, if Suning.com's products are to be listed on the preferred channel, the link to the product will only be posted after the two parties have reached the terms of cooperation and agreed to it.

This is the business philosophy that Zhou Buqi has been advocating in recent years. He is a person who stays on the front line, participates in the development of the industry with a friendly and cooperative attitude, and strives to achieve a win-win situation.

Just because Ziweixing is an industry giant, it has the right to choose and can do it.

On other shopping guide websites, even if they have this idea of ​​making money by being friendly, they have no choice and can't do it even if they want to. For example, there is a newly started shopping guide website Diandian.com, which wants to cooperate with major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Suning...

Depend on!

I can’t beat you to death!

Who are you? Want to collaborate? Are you worthy of me?

Therefore, the operating model of the mainstream shopping guide websites on the market is the crawler method.

This is a unilateral act, that is, the shopping guide website does not notify the e-commerce platform at all, but directly uses crawler technology to grab product information and related links from many e-commerce platforms as if it were stealing.

The style is brutal and aggressive, with no rules at all.

In order to succeed in starting a business, why do you still have so many worries? Make the product a success first, and complete the primitive accumulation first! Once things are done, and the industry becomes increasingly healthy, just think of ways to clear it up.

Zhou Buqi came to Jingdong this time to see the development of the situation.

Lao Liu was very angry.

Because Alibaba has also launched its own shopping guide platform, Yitao.com, which uses this technical crawler model to capture information from all e-commerce platforms on the entire network.

In addition, Alibaba's own products such as Taobao, Taobao Mall, and Juhuasuan...and these products are cross-complementary and mutually utilized in traffic.

This is very scary.

This means that when users shop online, they don’t need so many choices and can just go directly to Alibaba’s platform. Alibaba’s e-commerce platform has all the e-commerce products on the entire network! Not only those from my own family, but also those from other people’s families!

Very user friendly.

Online shopping has become simpler, no need to search through various platforms.

However, this is a fatal blow to other e-commerce platforms.

All the traffic has gone to Alibaba, how can others survive?

The one who resisted the most fiercely was Jingdong. Liu Qiangdong started to criticize directly on Weibo. At first, he criticized without naming names... but when he found that Yi Tao.com was unmoved, he couldn't bear it anymore and started criticizing directly by naming names.

Zhou Buqi has already agreed with Boss Ma that he will go with him to Shenghe School to meet Kazuo Inamori this weekend. On the one hand, he will learn his corporate philosophy, and on the other hand, he will welcome his arrival on behalf of domestic entrepreneurs. , hoping to promote more business exchanges between the two countries, learn from each other and develop together.

As a result, Lao Liu directly used Weibo as a platform to vent his emotions, which put him in the middle, which was a bit embarrassing.

Jingtao will soon be listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and its market value may reach 1.4 trillion yen. What a successful project this is. In addition to Zhou Buqi's operation and Chen Dong's careful management, it is also related to the support from JD.com and Alibaba.

JD.com and Alibaba are two important shareholders of Jingtao.

Don't let the public declaration of war between the two sides affect Jingtao's listing. This is what Zhou Buqi cares about most. As for the life-and-death fight between JD.com and Alibaba...it doesn't matter. The number one in the industry and the number two in the industry are always fighting.

When he arrived at JD.com, Liu Qiangdong smiled happily and didn't look angry at all. As soon as they met, he praised him and said: "Weibo is really a great product. I admire you so much. You are a real Internet genius."

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "You really understand Weibo."

Liu Qiangdong was also unambiguous, "Well, I asked the marketing department to calculate that Weibo has saved JD.com at least 200 million in brand building for JD.com this year!"

In fact, it is a marketing routine.

Weibo is a very popular mass media product nowadays, with great influence and wide coverage, covering almost all e-commerce user groups.

If we spend money to build JD.com’s brand using traditional methods, spending hundreds of millions would be like wasting money.

Weibo is different.

As long as it becomes a hot topic and is on the hot search... hum, that would be great. It will become the focus of news on the entire Internet. Various portals and financial networks will report it extensively, and even traditional media will follow suit.

Get countless free promotional resources in one go.

Jingdong became popular.

From working with Dangdang last year, then with Suning, and now with Ali...Liu Qiangdong is like an "Angry Bird" here, constantly spitting out his anger, using spicy and rude words.

Not only did he become an Internet celebrity, but it also made JD.com famous.

In the previous life, JD.com actually had a very weak foundation. Liu Qiangdong’s self-built logistics strategy also burned up all the money raised, making the company very dangerous and on the verge of bankruptcy with cash flow cut off several times.

In the fierce and fierce competition in the e-commerce industry, many people say that JD.com will be finished soon.

One of the important reasons why he survived was that Liu Qiangdong seized the dividends of social networks gifted by the times and immediately detonated the market.

After several Internet wars, JD.com's brand was directly established, and then it took off against the trend.

Dangdang’s Li Guoqing had ridiculed him several times, saying that JD.com would soon go bankrupt... It turned out that JD.com was not only not dead, but was also constantly cannibalizing his book business, getting better and better. Lao Li immediately panicked and hurriedly learned his strategy. He also started to be a big talker on Weibo, constantly creating hot topics to attract attention, including breaking cups, official seals, etc. when he started his own business again after his divorce. In court, similar tactics apply.

But it's too late.

The logic of the Internet is like this. As long as the first entrant does not make mistakes, he often has the power to take all. Dangdang was originally the first e-commerce platform to enter the market, but unfortunately it continued to make mistakes, giving JD.com opportunities. JD.com has seized the opportunity of the social network era. As long as it does not make mistakes, it will be difficult for Dangdang to turn around.

Zhou Buqi, as a senior Internet tycoon, has a clear background and said with a smile: "Is it really okay for you to touch Ci Ali like this? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"Porcelain?" Liu Qiangdong's eyes widened, "You don't know the cause and effect, do you?"

"Tell me?"

"Yitao.com used a crawler to crawl JD.com's product information. I asked JD.com to reject their crawler and criticized them on Weibo. How do you think Yitao responded?"

Zhou Buqi didn't guess, "How to respond?"

Liu Qiangdong said: "Yitao said that JD.com does not have the technical strength to block Yitao.com's crawling."

"Haha!" Zhou Buqi couldn't help laughing, "Then what? Did they capture it successfully?"

"Successful, JD.com's technical team..." Liu Qiangdong was very embarrassed and a little ashamed, "Compared with Alibaba's, it is indeed worse."

Zhou Buqi was angry and funny, "I told you a long time ago that I need to put more thought into the technical field. At the critical moment, it won't be useful anymore, right?"

Liu Qiangdong smiled and said: "That's why I asked you for help. For easy things, Ziweixing Engineering Institute has a ready-made plan."

"Yeah?"

Zhou Buqi didn't understand the situation.

Liu Qiangdong said: "Suning.com was also captured by Yitao's crawler. Later, Suning blocked Yitao. But Yitao did not respect business ethics and continued to forcibly capture information. Suning has introduced new protections. program, technically resisting their crawlers."

After IBM's technology was exposed, Suning.com gave up cooperating with them and signed an outsourcing agreement with Ziweixing Engineering Institute. Suning was able to handle Yi Tao. It was certainly not the level of Suning’s technical team, but the team from Ziweixing Engineering Institute that was behind it.

That's easy.

The Academy of Engineering has found a solution to deal with Yitao crawlers through the Suning platform, and it can be directly switched to JD.com.

Zhou Buqi glanced at Sun Wanran, "You contact the Engineering Academy and send the solution to JD.com."

Liu Qiangdong was very happy, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Zhou Buqi said: "Jingtao is about to go public. In the past few years, the cooperation between the three of us on this project has been very pleasant. How about... I come forward to help you coordinate? This is something Yitao.com has done wrong. Forced Crawling is against business ethics, and Baidu doesn’t even dare to force crawlers to crawl information from Toutiao and Weizhi.”

"Coordination?" Liu Qiangdong opened his eyes wide, "You must not! I still want to ferment this matter for a few more months to gain greater reputation for JD.com. I had a head-on confrontation with Ali, and then successfully resisted. Their technical crawler, how inspiring is this? It will also make netizens recognize the value of JD.com more."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Then control the intensity and don't go too far and affect Jingtao's listing."

"That won't happen!"

Liu Qiangdong made a guarantee.

Zhou Buqi then asked: "What else is going on? Are you going to study in the United States?"
