Age of Dreams

Vol 2 Chapter 2956: Financial performance

Huangfu Cai was originally a very low-key person. Wechat Mall started various internal tests as early as August last year, but there were not many reports from the outside world.

It is not that difficult to build an online commerce website, because there are good templates at home and abroad, and people put their various pages and functions there, you just have to check it out, and then come back and write the code.

As for the problem of avoiding the exact same page, it is not difficult. As long as some fine-tuning is done, no one can say anything.

Even physical objects can have similar appearances, and network programming languages ​​are similar, so it's not worth mentioning, and not many people will die with others on this.

According to the information received one after another, the various online programming languages ​​of Wechat Mall are quite good for the convenience of buyers and sellers.

Because it is a mobile-only online commerce, people who are accustomed to shopping with computers are not used in many aspects, but merchants have no such worries, because they can still operate their stores through dedicated servers and computers. .

But people are now accustomed to using mobile phones, and gradually getting used to WeChat Mall is no problem.

In the case of WeChat Mall, after solving the largest number of users and warehousing and transportation issues, they have another important thing, that is, the supplier issue.

There is nothing wrong with the self-operated WeChat supermarket. Just follow the model of Xiaoyao Mall. Priority will be given to companies with good reputation, ability and strength, and then choose those honest and reliable small companies and factories, and strictly control the quality. In this way, WeChat Supermarket can succeed.

The rest is the final price comparison.

In terms of network b2, the only rival of WeChat Supermarket is Xiaoyao Mall, but this does not mean that it wants to fight the price with Xiaoyao Mall.

It is definitely not a good way for anyone to fight a price war with Xiao Qi's company, because in terms of burning money, there is no company that can match the fairy company with more than 500 billion US dollars in cash.

Besides, there is no need for WeChat Mall to fight against Xiaoyao Mall. The two companies are husband and wife. If they fight, isn't it a joke?

Just like oil, wouldn’t it be good if we make a rule together and monopolize it together?

Even if the prices are similar, as long as WeChat Mall and Xiaoyao Mall provide differentiated services, such as services, transportation, after-sales, etc., which are better than other b2 or b2b2, there is no reason to lose money.

Simply put, if you are better than other competitors, you have enough opportunities to grow stronger.

Xiaoyao Mall is already powerful enough, but China and Asia are so big and there are so many people, so naturally there is more room for a WeChat Mall.

It is a pity that in Europe and the United States, WeChat malls are not ready for business. This is not only to test their operational capabilities and various cost pressures, but also to study their relations in various countries.

Generally speaking, Chinese companies operating in the b2 industry in Europe and the United States will encounter a lot of difficulties, and even many inexplicable targets.

In 2013, Ma Yun was famous enough, but many European and American guys just regarded him as a "overlord built on a platform of 200 billion counterfeit goods."

People in Europe and the United States like to make generalizations so much. In fact, more than 90% of Taobao.com and Tmall.com are products produced by regular manufacturers. Those counterfeit and shoddy products are only a small part, especially in Tian. After the opening of the Cat Mall, these have been reduced even more, but people in Europe and the United States have put their inherent impression on Taobao.com, as if it will never change.

Huangfu Cai doesn't like the United States very much. With Xiao Qi by her side, she just wants to live in China, including her Weibo and Weixin companies.

Therefore, from the very beginning of its establishment, WeChat Mall has clearly defined its policy of operating within Asia.

This point, more than a dozen dedicated vice presidents, heard eo Chen Zhonghan talk about it at the first inauguration meeting, and everyone also remembered it in their hearts.

Chen Zhonghan is the former vice president of WeChat Company, and now he is transferred to WeChat Mall eo, which must have been promoted, but in fact, he is also under great pressure.

Chen Zhonghan was responsible for the commercial operations of the former WeChat company, including personal space, cute emojis and other value-added services. He did a good job at first, but now suddenly he has control of a WeChat mall with a scale of more than 50 billion yuan. Although I am very happy, I am also worried that I can't do well.

After all, he used to have something to do with the e-commerce field, but he is definitely not a professional.

In fact, he also knows why the proprietress appointed him as the eo of WeChat Mall. It does not mean that he is very capable, but that Chen Zhonghan has a good temper and is very good at reconciling all aspects of the relationship. This is especially important when you have more than a dozen vice presidents.

Huangfu Cai did not worry that others would be dissatisfied with Chen Zhonghan, because during the preparation period, there was a vice president who was dug up by Xiaoyao Mall. He felt that Chen Zhonghan's ability was much worse than that of the previous boss Qin Yibin, so he did not listen to the command very much. As a result, Huangfu Cai fired him without even thinking about it, and this frightened the rest of the people.

The proprietress can even fire the senior vice president dug from the Xiaoyao Mall. This temper is really big!

Think about it, Xiao Qi is behind the proprietress. Even if they are all fired, Xiao Qi can find her a group of professional elites from Xiaoyao Mall and Taobao.com, and they can still do a good job in WeChat Mall.

The thought of the world leaving itself or turning as usual, these elites immediately clamped their tails, and began to exert effort in their work, instead of thinking about how to fight for power.

What's more, Huangfu Cai also made it clear to them that as long as they do well, there is no problem with promotion and salary increase. Everything depends on the results.

These trembling people don’t know that the dismissed executive who dug from Xiaoyao Mall turned around and went to Malaysia to preside over the preparations for the Malaysian branch. This matter was originally a double-acting role, and Huangfu Cai used him to deter the heroes. He just turned around here, and never left Xiaoyao Mall at all, so he can go directly to the general manager of the Malaysian branch.

Since the preparation takes more than a year, no one else knows his situation yet, and this period of time has long been stable enough for the WeChat Mall to begin development.

Chen Zhonghan was selected by Huangfu Cai to prepare for the WeChat Mall, of course not only because of his good temper and good at reconciling interpersonal relationships, another outstanding feature of Chen Zhonghan is that he can unconditionally execute Huangfu Cai's orders, and he is committed to this. Work hard, without the slightest discount.

Originally, WeChat Mall didn't have much difficulty. As long as it didn't deliberately behave differently, and honestly follow the path of Xiaoyao Mall and Taobao Tian. Cat Mall, it is at least the third-ranked existence in China.

In the eyes of the outside world, WeChat Mall is not only third.

First of all, it has a global user base of 1.5 billion, which is really too big. China alone has 500 million users. This is much more advantageous than when Xiaoyao Mall was first established.

Even if the WeChat Mall does not say that it will develop the European and American markets, as long as there are so many WeChat users with user enthusiasm, opening a global WeChat Mall in the future will be a matter of course.

Then, with the success experience of others, WeChat Mall can guarantee its own success only by copying it. I believe that with their eyes, it is impossible to do some foolish things that can kill themselves... Success, why do you want to be opportunistic?

Therefore, many large companies and investment funds are actually very interested in WeChat Mall.

As early as August when the internal test began, Green Pine Capital and Softbank Huaguo came to the door, hoping to invest 10% of their shares in WeChat Mall at a valuation of 100 billion yuan.

They are really big.

You know, WeChat Mall’s start-up capital is only 30 billion yuan, and it will only be added to 50 billion yuan before the opening of the Spring Festival in 2011. They doubled the valuation in one go, which is quite comparable. Optimistic.

Moreover, they only invest in WeChat Mall and do not mix with WeChat Company. They only want to send two directors to supervise operations, and the requirements are not high.

Huangfu Cai considered it for a while, and then refused.

She is not afraid that others will take care of her, but she feels that she is not short of money. Secondly, why is the WeChat mall worth 100 billion yuan?

You know, Xiaoyao Mall is now valued at more than 40 billion US dollars, 300 billion yuan!

Even if the WeChat Mall is not as good as it, 200 billion yuan will be fine in the future, right?

Besides, managing a company by yourself is actually quite good. After accepting investment from others, you will be restrained, which is really not worthwhile.

It is not only Green Pine Capital and Softbank Huaguo that Huangfu Cai rejected.

There are several investment funds with a national background, and then there are Goldman Sachs, Nomura Securities, Temasek Fund, etc., she also refused.

Temasek's highest asking prices have exceeded the valuation of 170 billion yuan, but the WeChat mall still did not accept them, which made this group of people sigh.

Everyone can see how prosperous the Xiaoyao Mall is now. As long as it has completed the entire Asian network and formed the integration of Asian online commerce, the minimum valuation is more than 100 billion US dollars. If it is listed on the market , At least 200 billion U.S. dollars.

Had Xiao Qi not taken the Xiaoyao Mall too tightly, and continued to provide sufficient funds for expansion, I am afraid that the Xiaoyao Mall would have been swallowed by countless investment crocodiles.

Everyone is unanimously optimistic about the future development of Wechat Mall, because in addition to Wechat Supermarket, its Moments of Friends is also an interpersonal circle, which is most suitable for buying and selling small things, thus allowing more ordinary sellers to join in. , To promote the development of WeChat Mall.

It’s a pity that Huangfu Cai, like her man, is not short of money and doesn’t like mutual help and mutual benefit. Such a company with a market value of at least US$50 billion in the future just slipped away under the nose. I don’t know how many. People are very sad.

In fact, in online commerce, self-sufficient models such as Xiaoyao Mall and WeChat Mall are still rare.

In previous lives, everyone was saying ~www.wuxiaspot.com~How can Ma Yun be so stupid, he bought 30% of the shares by SoftBank for hundreds of millions of dollars, and it would be nice to keep it for a while before selling.

But these people don't know that around 2003, few people were optimistic that Taobao.com could defeat the world's largest eBay. How much courage did SoftBank spend to buy their shares for hundreds of millions of dollars?

And it is precisely because of these hundreds of millions of dollars that Ma Yun has been able to burn money on Taobao.com, and then cultivated the arrival of the era of online shopping.

It can be said that without SoftBank’s hundreds of millions of dollars, there would be no future Alibaba Group, so this money is what SoftBank Group should earn!

Jingxi is the same. If there is no round after round of financing, how can they burn the money to the final success?

These are the normal steps of online commerce. Xiaoyao Mall and WeChat Mall can get tens of billions of companies from the beginning. That's called rich and powerful, and that's rare!

That's why Xiao Qi and Tang Mingxiang have the capital to reject other people's investment!
