Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 371 Accepting Dongzi, and flirting with Leizi again

In 2004, the B2C shopping transaction volume in the domestic market reached 42 billion yuan.

As of June this year, it has exceeded 6 billion yuan. According to trends, the annual transaction volume can exceed 30 billion, with a growth rate of 60%.

B2C领域发展迅速，随着国内网上购物环境的进一步好转，专家预计2005-2010年复合增长率为52%，2010年全年交易规模有望达到460亿人民币。

Some media reports pointed out that Dangdang is entering the C2C market; Joyo Amazon is transforming from a boutique product line to a full product line; Babaibai is beginning to taste the sweetness from high-end jewelry sales; Sohu Mall is changing from an independent business model to Gradually transition to a business model that combines independent operations and managed joint store-in-store operations.

After reading the data from a third-party survey report on the B2C market, Chen Hao believes that it is not yet the period of exertion, so it is urgent to seize the day and develop solid internal skills. This point is strongly recognized by Liu Qiangdong, who has suffered a lot. .

What JD.com wants is not a blockbuster, but a long-term success.

Therefore, Chen Hao did not divert traffic to JD.com and allowed it to grow naturally.

Then the two made corresponding plans and goal setting for the next year.

That is, one year from now, JD.com will have its own logistics team, from cooperating with SF Express to coexisting, and finally completing its own logistics to replace it, forming a three-step strategy.

The purchase, sales, inventory, and electronic sales systems are continuously iteratively improved to save labor costs.

The electronic payment system is put into use to improve the security of online transactions and bring confidence to consumers in online consumption.

One year later, when all aspects of JD.com met the standards, Chen Hao agreed to provide all-round traffic guidance.

In just three days, Liu Qiangdong felt that half of the mountain on his body was resisted by Chen Hao, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

A little pressure, eh?He felt full of motivation.

He took a stack of the results of the discussion between the two and started the rise of JD.com.

If JD.com is acquired, Chen Hao and Liu Qiangdong are highly consistent in their development philosophy for JD.com, and have given Liu Qiangdong unlimited firing rights and huge capital flow.

When Amazon acquired Joyo in August last year, Lei Jun, the founder and chairman, was not as lucky as Liu Qiangdong.

In fact, Lei Jun has two major backers, Lenovo and Kingsoft. However, Kingsoft’s online game business is currently not up to expectations. Several games have been launched one after another to great fanfare and little success. The market is firmly occupied by century-style online games, and they have no choice but to leave Southeast Asia to seek survival.

Anti-virus software was once again crushed by Century Security Guard. With only WPS, PowerWord’s traditional business was struggling to support itself, and funds were stretched thin. Lenovo was no less generous.

On the one hand, the base camp is short of money and urgently needs financial transfusions, while on the other hand, Joyo.com has been burning money. Although it is the largest in scale, it has not yet seen profits.

Kingsoft's management also ran out of patience. The international B2C giant Amazon happened to be the financial backer to take over the deal, so they followed suit and tried to sell it at a good price.

Even if Lei Jun, the CEO of Kingsoft and the chairman of Joyo.com, disagrees, it will be a drop in the bucket. The power of individuals is undoubtedly small in the face of capital.

Kingsoft and Lenovo agreed that the outcome would be for Lei Jun to step down as chairman of Joyo.com and have no choice but to be eliminated. He could only reluctantly leave the children he had raised with his money.

From coming up with ideas and starting a business when the Internet bubble burst, to experiencing several desperate moments, Lei Jun led Joyo to the present. It was not easy, but in the end he fell short in the D round of financing. He made money but lost his career. , Lei Jun would be lying if he said he had no regrets and pain.

It was also an acquisition, but Lei Jun and Liu Qiangdong had different endings.

In the past six months, Lei Jun has become more and more reserved in Jinshan. Despite the halo of CEO, he has lost the fighting spirit of the past. He feels that he is at a crossroads in the second half of his life and does not know where to go for a while.

Just then, he received an unexpected call.

"Hello, Mr. Lei? I'm Chen Hao from Century Zongheng. Would you like to chat over instant noodles?"

"I wonder what kind of wind brings Mr. Chen here?"

"The spring breeze of reform, I have a big event, perhaps a major change that is rare in a century. I wonder if Mr. Lei is interested."

In his impression, Chen Hao was handsome, enterprising, and eccentric, but he was not a talkative and boastful person. This actually aroused his curiosity.
"It's better to choose a different day. I'm going to China World Trade Center to do some errands. There happens to be a Starbucks downstairs. How about 6 o'clock today?"

"Oh, see you then."

At 5: pm, Chen Hao arrived at the Starbucks located on the ground floor of the World Trade Center.

He overestimated the traffic jam in the capital. It was smooth all the way and he came early.

I ordered a cup of cappuccino alone and sat down in a corner that was a little far away, not visible.

Lao Mozai casually sat on an empty seat nearby, while Xiaohai wandered outside the store.Since the beginning of this year, Pang Ban has strengthened the security force around Chen Hao and transferred both of them to his side. Each of their five-person team has two bodyguards, one bright and one dark.

This world is not peaceful, and someone was shot dead in his office in broad daylight.

There is no harm in sailing the boat carefully, because he is afraid of death.

It's not like Starbucks in later generations, which is full of workplace vagrants who sit there all day long with a notebook and a cup of coffee, either looking for a job or on the way to find a job.

Starbucks was not cheap at this time, and it was positioned as a mid-to-high-end store. When Chen Hao glanced at the corner, he found that the store was at least half empty.

I found that most of the people in this store were professional elites and business white-collar workers, and the rest were just bourgeois people.

There were a few urban beauties in the store with exquisite makeup sitting in front of the window drinking coffee. After seeing the handsome and elegant Chen Hao come in, their beautiful eyes lit up, and then they saw the tall and thick Lao Mo behind him, and walked over. Pick up ideas.

These days, even though there is only one person who can go out with a bodyguard, it is not at a level they can afford to seduce.

It was 6 minutes before 10 o'clock. Chen Hao saw Lei Jun coming to the store alone. He was wearing a white shirt, trousers, black leather shoes, and a briefcase under his arm. He looked quite formal. He probably just came down from talking about something upstairs.

However, Chen Hao felt that he didn't look like the CEO of a company at all, but more like an insurance salesman.

Chen Hao asked Lao Mo to bring him over.

Meet, shake hands, say long time no see.

"Sit down, what do you want to drink?"

"Let's have a latte."

Chen Hao winked, and Lao Mo went to the front desk to order.

Seeing Lei Jun sit down, Chen Hao was not in a hurry to get straight to the point, but instead talked about the current situation, "I heard that Mr. Lei has not been too happy recently?"

"I, Mr. Lei, am so virtuous and capable. I am worthy of Mr. Chen's attention. I am a little flattered. I wonder if Mr. Chen has any important matters to discuss with this invitation?" Lei Jun avoided the important matter and asked the other party's purpose.

"I wonder what you think of the current mobile phone market?"

Although I had heard before that Century Zongheng wanted to get a mobile phone, I didn't expect that he would come to find me.

"Mr. Chen really wants to enter the mobile phone field as rumored by the outside world?"

"What do you think Mr. Lei has to say?"

"Takami doesn't count, but as far as I know, the current mobile phone market is almost saturated, and major mobile phone manufacturers are seriously homogenized. They are now finding new ways to focus on vertical fields such as camera phones, music phones, and game phones. Although 3G has just begun in China, However, due to the lack of terminals and immature business, it is difficult for emerging forces to get a piece of this cake.

The blue ocean has turned into a red ocean. Against this background, Mr. Chen still wants to enter the mobile phone market, which I cannot understand. "

Chen Hao smiled slightly, "Who said I would make these traditional mobile phones?"

Lei Jun asked curiously, "If you don't make a traditional mobile phone, what will you do? It won't be a smartphone, right?"

Nowadays, major mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia and Samsung have also developed several smart phones, but they are all more gimmicks than reality and have received mediocre response.

Chen Hao calmly took out a pen and paper from his bag and wrote and drew on it.

A figure that Lei Jun had never seen before came into his eyes.

A square thing appeared, with no antenna or keyboard, and only a round button underneath. It gradually became clear under Chen Hao's outline that this was a sketch.

As Chen Hao explained, Lei Jun's face became more shocked and excited.

"Is this the phone you want to make?"

Chen Hao stretched out his finger and shook it, "NONONO."

The words are full of temptation, "This is the mobile phone we want to make!"
