Chapter 2506 You Can't Play without Me

He has two concerns. First, he has been living in Hangzhou before. He is not familiar with the capital, so he will always hesitate to go to a new place. Second, he still remembers the Internet that he talked about with Shen Long back then. As for the trading platform, this is a big business, but don't miss it because you went to the capital, so he had to come to Shen Long to ask for clarification.

"Go, the Internet atmosphere in Beijing is better than Hangzhou now, you can learn more when you stay there for a while! More importantly, you can meet more useful people!" Look at what he did in Beijing , and made a series of websites such as the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, the online Chinese commodity trading market, the online China Technology Export Fair, China Merchants, the online Canton Fair, and China Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. In the process, he was confused by his excellent ability to fool A large group of people.

These are the backbone cadres of the national ministries and commissions and important departments of the country. They must have played a lot of help in the future development of Alibaba. , Make a phone call and find someone to ask, and explain to him over there, he will definitely know what to do. Sometimes, one sentence is enough.

"I asked you to study the EBAY in the United States. How is your research going?" Shen Long asked again. Although he didn't care much about the Chinese Yellow Pages in the past two years, as long as he came to Hangzhou and had enough time, He would always ask him to come out for a chat and talk about the latest developments in the US Internet industry. He had already told Ma Yun about EBAY.

EBAY was founded in 1995, but it was not called this name at first, but it was called Auction Network; this was originally an auction website established by Omidyar for his girlfriend to collect candy boxes. It was welcomed by netizens, so they began to try to use this website for auctions and online shopping.

The development speed of Internet companies is far from that of traditional industries. For more than a year, newly established companies in traditional industries may still be struggling, but Omidyar, a company used to please girlfriends, has received countless winds He also took advantage of the favor of investment companies, carefully selected suitable venture capital companies, and used the funds provided by them to recruit employees and professional managers, and changed the name of the website to EBAY by the way.

In fact, he originally wanted to call this website EchoBay, but unfortunately when he registered, he found that the website had been registered by Echo Bay Mining, so he changed EchoBay to his second record: EBAY; this is exactly in line with the development of the Internet Trend, you must know that short screen names are always easier to remember than long screen names.

When Sean Parker was the first president of Facebook, the first thing he did when he took office was to change THE FACEBOOK to FACEBOOK.

"I often pay attention to this website, as long as they have new actions, I will pay attention in time. Generally speaking, this website may have captured some of the essence of online shopping, but it seems that it is not suitable to move directly to China!" Ma Yun Frowning slightly, he said, "For example, the auction model may be well known in the United States, but it is not easy to be accepted in China."

At the turn of the century, many highly educated sea turtles tried to return to China to start a business, using what they learned in American universities and what they had learned while working in Silicon Valley to start a big business. Unfortunately, most of them failed and eventually led China’s Internet business The natives such as Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, Ding Lei, and Liu Qiangdong are still developing.

Oh, maybe Li Yanhong is one of the few successful ones among them, but everyone has seen the development of Baidu in the later period; in the final analysis,

These people are the same as the foreign students Shen Long met in the world of "The Mansion Gate". They are not down-to-earth, they just float on the surface, and they have never had a deep understanding of what the people of this country really need.

So after Ma Yun and the others became familiar with the Internet, these people were beaten to pieces. eBay, which imitated EBAY, was very popular at the beginning, but after Alibaba got up, they were nothing, whether it was with EABY or not. Cooperation, or cooperation with Sina is useless.

"Well, you are very accurate. Our country is very different from the United States. It is not easy to succeed by completely copying the United States. However, some good things from others are still worth learning. In the past two years, you should continue to pay attention to these American things. Let’s go to the website! Let’s have a good chat when we are ready to build an online shopping mall!” Shen Long said.

"What about the shares? I'm already planning to withdraw the shares, but Telecom's price is too low, why don't you continue to keep the shares?" Ma Yun said in embarrassment. He felt a little sorry for Shen Long. .

"It doesn't matter, anyway, it's more money than I invested before, even if inflation is counted, I have made a lot of money. Anyway, I invested it for you. If you withdraw the shares, I don't need to keep them. When the time comes, I will Let the company's legal affairs go through the formalities with you!" Shen Long said nonchalantly, how much is the Chinese Yellow Pages worth?

Ma Yun took the group of people who trusted him and left, and the rest followed He Yibing to continue to engage in the Chinese Yellow Pages. I don’t know if those who stayed at the beginning would regret it after many years. If they followed Ma Yun, Surely your life will be very different, right? However, fate is so helpless, sometimes an inadvertent choice may lead to a gap of thousands of times.

When he arrived in Beijing, Ma Yun started to set up and manage the China International E-Commerce Center with the backing of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. His team accounted for 30% of the shares and participated in the development of the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and later the online Chinese commodity trading market.

During this process, he constantly compared his work with what Shen Long said at the beginning of using e-commerce to serve small and medium-sized enterprises, that is, the B2B model; and then found that the China International E-commerce Center is more of a symbol of the government. The website is not the e-commerce platform he wants to be, and there is no so-called B2B model conception.

So after the idea gradually matured, he gave up this opportunity and the olive branch extended by Yahoo and Sina, and prepared to bring the team back to Hangzhou to start a business.

After returning to Hangzhou, he was the first to visit Shen Long. After all, to start an e-commerce platform requires a lot of money, and his savings are far from enough.

Only this time, Ma Yun does not intend to sell too many shares. Previously, the potential of China Yellow Pages was limited, but now the development of EBAY has made him see the bright future of this business model.

Although he didn't say it clearly, his words still revealed some meaning in this regard. Shen Long didn't get angry when he heard it, but just smiled slightly, thinking that if you want to do this, you really can't do it without me!
