Chapter 3098 Wooden Man

This is the thing that Zhou Buqi can't tolerate the most.

Wechat business is an acquaintance e-commerce based on trust, but many people rely on this trust to produce and sell counterfeit goods. If it were ordinary shoes, hats, clothes, etc., it would be fine, but the user structure of Wechat business determines that the most popular products in Wechat business are facial masks, maternal and child products, health care products, infant formula and the like.

These things are directly related to health.

It even affects infants and young children.

Zhang Xiaolong argued: "WeChat business has just started, and there are indeed many unreasonable aspects. But this is a business full of imagination. If we are given time, we can find a way to supervise the business of WeChat business, and this may become one of our most important business directions."

"E-commerce?" Zhou Buqi shook his head, "I don't think that's possible."

Zhang Xiaolong asked: "Social e-commerce is not possible?"

Zhou Buqi said: "The model of social e-commerce does exist, but it is definitely not the form of WeChat and Wechat merchants. The existence of Wechat merchants will not create any added value for WeChat. On the contrary, Wechat merchants will destroy the ecology of WeChat and even the reputation of WeChat and Ziweixing!"

In his previous life, Zhang Xiaolong made WeChat very successful.

Looking around the world, there is no app more successful than WeChat.

But this doesn't mean that everything he did was right.

The biggest mistake he made was to misjudge WeChat business. He had an e-commerce dream in his mind and wanted to get a share of the huge e-commerce market by relying on WeChat, a super app. Because of his connivance, WeChat business became rampant in WeChat, and the direct consequence was the "ineffectiveness" of the circle of friends.

No one likes to see a screen full of ads.

Wechat business almost ruined the WeChat Moments product.

If Pinduoduo and Xiaohongshu had not appeared later, the two platforms would have destroyed the foundation of WeChat business. In addition, WeChat business had too many counterfeit goods and had a bad reputation that consumers spurned. The WeChat Moments product might not have declined, but might have been directly destroyed by WeChat business. The WeChat Moments was no longer a sharing of friends' dynamics, but completely turned into an advertising platform for WeChat business.

Luo Wenjing is a woman and a mother. She is so scared. "Many WeChat merchants are actually scammers. Many of the products on them are even pyramid schemes. They are all using WeChat's acquaintance network to develop offline sales among relatives and friends! This is terrible! WeChat is the hard work of all of us, but the WeChat acquaintance circle we created has become a tool for pyramid schemes!"

Fu Hongliang said: "I have also heard that some WeChat business leaders are not clean! There are even a series of gray industries in the industry that teach others how to use WeChat acquaintances to split and recruit people and set up organizations!"

Zhou Buqi said solemnly: "We must cut this line!"

Zhang Xiaolong couldn't bear it, "That doesn't mean that WeChat business will be killed with one blow."

Guo Pengfei pondered and said: "That's right. The existence of WeChat merchants will indeed have an impact on the ecology of the circle of friends."

Zhang Xiaolong said: "I don't think this is a reason. If WeChat business is successful, it can bring tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of profits. E-commerce is a fast-growing and imaginative market. China is not like Europe and the United States. Domestic advertising fees are low and conversion rates are low. Relying only on the advertising income from WeChat Moments is actually not much money."

Zhang Yiming nodded. "If WeChat business really takes off, has economies of scale, and does a good job of supervising both buyers and sellers, even if the existing ecosystem of WeChat Moments is completely destroyed and becomes an advertising platform for WeChat business, it would be a case of losing sesame seeds and picking up watermelons."

Zhou Buqi sighed, "You are too optimistic. Boss Ma has been eyeing it for a long time."

"I'm not afraid even if they target me."

Zhang Xiaolong is very persistent.

He joined from another company and was parachuted into a high position, serving as the vice president of the WeChat business group, the second most important person after Guo Pengfei. It is said that if Guo Pengfei is to step down from this business, he will become the person in charge of WeChat.

So he was very anxious.

He needs results.

  He needs to lead the current WeChat to create something even more brilliant!

Micro-business is the opportunity he discovered.

  Ziweixing's e-commerce business is very weak, and e-commerce can be said to be the most profitable industry in the domestic Internet industry! WeChat can't make much money just by relying on social advertising. As long as WeChat business is established, he will not only be a hero of WeChat, but also a great hero of Ziweixing!

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "I don't agree! Many of the micro-business behaviors have violated the company's bottom line and must be banned!"

How could Zhang Xiaolong be willing to accept this?

In fact, he didn't have much dealings with Boss Zhou. He had only spoken to Boss Zhou a few times in the more than one year since he started working there.

This is completely different from the mentality of other executives of Ziweixing. Seeing that Boss Zhou is going to act arbitrarily and willfully, how can this be allowed?

Zhang Xiaolong quickly said, "WeChat business has many shortcomings, but also many advantages, and there is huge room for imagination in the future. How about this, let's vote, and the minority will obey the majority."

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was slightly startled, then smiled, "Okay, then let's vote, the minority obeys the majority."

Zhang Xiaolong was overjoyed.

  I felt like the opportunity had come!

There were 13 people present, the lowest of whom was the vice president of M6 Group.

Among them, only Zhou Buqi, Fu Hongliang and Luo Wenjing were against micro-business.

  Won’t this vote keep micro-businesses?

He Yang saw Zhang Xiaolong's excitement and shook his head slightly, thinking that this paratrooper was different. He was not integrated into the company enough and lacked awareness of the prestige of Boss Zhou. He cleared his throat and took the initiative to take control of the situation, saying, "Okay, let's vote on whether to ban WeChat businesses. Raising your hand means you agree, not raising your hand means you oppose, and abstaining from voting requires you to speak. Now, is there anyone abstaining?"

Take a look around.

Everyone was silent.

No one abstained.

Zhang Xiaolong became even more excited.

The opportunity is coming!

There was not even a person who abstained from voting, which was enough to show that the executives present were not afraid of the threat from the big boss and did not flee from the battlefield.

He Yang said: "Next, let's vote. Those who agree to keep WeChat business, please raise your hands."

Zhang Xiaolong was the first to raise his hand, his face flushed and he looked around.

Immediately stunned.

Everyone sat there like wooden figures, not moving a muscle.

Among the 13 executives with voting rights, not counting the two secretaries who were taking minutes, he was the only one who raised his hand.

Zhang Xiaolong was stunned and opened his eyes wide.

Not sure what happened.

A little bit shy.

At this time, He Yang spoke again, smiling and said, "Those who agree to ban WeChat businesses, please raise your hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden people all moved.

All raised their hands.

One, two, three, four... from beginning to end, without missing a single one. Even Zhang Yiming, Guo Pengfei, He Yang, and Meng Houkun, who supported Zhang Xiaolong's business the most, raised their hands one after another! Of the 13 people present, except for himself, the other 12 people all raised their hands.

  Everyone supports the abolition of micro-business!

Zhang Xiaolong was stunned.

He didn't understand.

Especially I don’t understand Meng Houkun.

Before the meeting, Meng Houkun even discussed with him privately, saying that Boss Zhou was a bit hypocritical and would definitely be very dissatisfied with some of the ugly phenomena in the current WeChat business. Therefore, during the meeting, we must grasp the key points. First, we must emphasize that we will strengthen the supervision of WeChat business, and second, we must look to the future and explain the importance of WeChat business to WeChat and even Ziweixing. Only in this way can we have a chance to deal with Boss Zhou and make him change his mind.

It can be said that Meng Houkun’s attitude on this matter is very clear!

  He supports retaining Wechat business, and he believes that Wechat business has great potential!

But the current situation...

Zhang Xiaolong was so puzzled that he turned into a wooden man.
