I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 456 The e-commerce platform project starts!

Lin Xiao was not in a hurry to announce to the company the matter of actually starting the operation of the Eternal Group and then building the headquarters, except after communicating with several high-level officials.

The time has come close to the end of November, simply wait until the end of 11, and then officially start in 2000.

Because at that time, there will definitely be a wave of personnel adjustments, and there will be a complete year, which will also facilitate the transition between the two companies.

Moreover, this matter is really not that urgent.

Lin Xiao at Huaxin Technology was going to wait for Lan Yumo to come back, and he could still take it easy. Lin Xiao didn't want to move for the time being, so Lin Xiao immediately turned his attention to the preparation of e-commerce.

Because Chu Xiyun first brought up this matter, Lin Xiao was also ready to have a chat with her.

After class in the afternoon, Hui Liping was asked to drive to pick up Chu Xiyun and head for the courtyard.

In the car, Lin Xiao could vaguely see that Chu Xiyun was unhappy, and immediately asked Chu Xiyun, "What's wrong?"

"I talked to my dad on the phone today, and he said that the sales of our Guyun series products have not been satisfactory in the past two months..."

Chu Xiyun replied, then turned her gaze to Lin Xiao, and muttered: "Didn't you say that if you develop such a product, it will definitely be very popular in the market? Now it's like this, you should give it a shot."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao immediately asked, "Then what methods does your father use for sales now?"

"My dad has been in this business for so many years, and he is also related to some sales channels, so he entrusted agents in various provinces to distribute the goods, and even placed advertisements on several satellite TVs."

Chu Xiyun obviously paid more attention to the family business, so when Lin Xiao asked, she answered immediately.

"But the effect is not good."

Chu Xiyun said with a frowning face: "The popularity of the entire product is not comparable to that of Rejoice, Pantene, and Head & Shoulders. After the first purchase, all the products are backlogged, and there is no subsequent shipment."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao said indifferently: "Since the goods cannot be sold, then don't sell them, and take them all back."

"What?" Chu Xiyun was confused.

"Since offline traditional retailing doesn't work, let's go online and sell on the Internet."

After Lin Xiao explained, Chu Xiyun immediately asked, "Selling on the Internet? You mean e-commerce?"

Chu Xiyun has been paying attention to e-commerce for a long time, and because Lin Xiao told her before that this is one of the largest industries in the Chinese Internet market, she has always been thinking about it.

At this time, after hearing what Lin Xiao said, Chu Xiyun immediately said with some expectation: "Are you going to build an e-commerce website?"

Lin Xiao nodded, "I'm preparing to start the project recently."

"What type is that?" Chu Xiyun asked immediately.

"B2C is the main focus, but C2C is also available." Lin Xiao replied without hesitation.

B2C has high comprehensive profits, and C2C drives users obviously. These two modes are the mainstream of e-commerce, and there is no need to distinguish them.

After answering Chu Xiyun, Lin Xiao immediately continued: "At that time, my Gpod will launch new products to cooperate with the launch of the e-commerce mall. My suggestion is that your Guyun series products should simply release slogans, and the online special for!"

"The gimmick is the fusion of traditional ancient recipes and modern Internet sales."

Hearing this, Chu Xiyun's beautiful eyes began to glow again, she blinked twice, and she asked expectantly: "Do you think it's feasible?"

"I can't say whether it will become a hit, but it will definitely sell better than it is now!" Lin Xiao said confidently.

Although it is indeed a cold winter for most Internet companies at present, it is only because everyone cannot raise money and make money to develop.

In fact, Chinese people's attention and acceptance of the Internet has been on the rise in the past two years.

E-commerce, a new thing, will also begin to usher in a greater period of development in the next few years.

And a model like online exclusive supply has never appeared at all.

The first person to eat crabs, as long as the road is right, the profit will not be less.

When Lin Xiao said this, Chu Xiyun immediately became interested, and she called Chu Xiong that night to share her idea.

However, Chu Xiong was still a little hesitant. He had already laid down so much cost to develop these new products. To withdraw from the traditional sales channels, in his opinion, it was undoubtedly a bargaining chip on the table.

Out of her absolute trust in Lin Xiao, Chu Xiyun naturally wanted to try to convince Chu Xiong immediately, but Lin Xiao told Chu Xiyun not to worry, because Bazi hadn't written off his e-commerce project yet.

It is not so easy to develop an online mall, especially Lin Xiao's requirements are not low.

As soon as he went to work the next morning, Lin Xiao approached Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Gang.

Among the group of technologists at Eternal Network, Ren Yuxin and Chen Danian are in charge of "Legend of Hot Blood", Zhang Zhidong's current main focus is on QQ, and QQ's follow-up technical support is not small, so it can't be opened for the time being.

In this way, Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Gang were relatively less busy.

In addition, the development of Alipay was also led by Zhang Xiaolong, so Lin Xiao immediately thought of Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Gang when he wanted to develop an e-commerce platform.

Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Gang came to Lin Xiao's office together, both of them were curious as to why Lin Xiao was looking for them.

However, the two were the earliest people who followed Lin Xiao in the ancient network, and they knew Lin Xiaohe's personality very well. When they entered Lin Xiao's office and saw Lin Xiao looking at the two with a smile on his face, they knew that even if it was not a good thing, it would be a good thing. At least it won't be a bad thing.

"Xiaolong, Chen Gang, how are you doing recently? Do you feel that you have no project development in your hands and are living too comfortably?"

"Stone Age" Eternal Internet Café Management System These products are very stable. After Alipay and QQ Mall are developed, there is not much need for them for the time being.

And "Legend of Blood" has Ren Yuxin and Chen Danian enough. If they don't appear in new projects, Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Gang really don't have much to show.

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Zhang Xiaolong smiled and didn't speak, while Chen Gang said with bright eyes: "Mr. Lin, do you have any new projects to offer? That's great, it's taken us so long. Suffocated."

Lin Xiao has long been familiar with Chen Gang's temperament of a typical technical nerd, and when he heard it, he laughed.

"There is indeed a job, and it is a big job in a new field."

As soon as Lin Xiao said this, not only Chen Gang's eyes lit up, but Zhang Xiaolong's eyes also flickered with excitement.

In fact, Zhang Xiaolong is also a person who is obsessed with technology and products. He chose to sell the mailbox product he developed at the beginning because he felt that there was no place worthy of challenge in this field.

After joining Eternal Network, he is constantly meeting new challenges.

First he made a sex tour website, then he made games into Chinese, and after QQ joined, he participated in the development of instant messaging software, Alipay, QQ mall, QQ show, Eternal Music...

Even when Baidu was developing and operating, Lin Xiao asked him to communicate with Li Yanhong and others.

Every time a new product is created, it is a new attempt for Zhang Xiaolong, which not only allows him to make greater progress in technology, but also allows him to always maintain a high fighting spirit.

In fact, many times, Zhang Xiaolong is also very surprised, how did Lin Xiao come up with such a rich product system, and the most important thing is that these products are so successful.

Of course, for Zhang Xiaolong, it is not important at this time, the important thing is that he is very curious about what product Lin Xiao wants to try next.

"I'm going to be an e-commerce platform!"

Under the expectant eyes of Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Gang, Lin Xiao spoke.

really!

After hearing Lin Xiao's deceit, Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Gang's first reaction was not surprise, but a little excitement and excitement.

Sure enough, this is a whole new field!

In the end, it was Zhang Xiaolong who was the first to ask: "Will Eternal Network be an e-commerce business?"

"It's not the Eternal Network, but the Eternal Group."

Lin Xiao replied: "Gengu Group will set up a subsidiary to specialize in e-commerce. What I hope you will do now is to develop an e-commerce platform."

As he said that, Lin Xiao glanced over Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Gang, and said very seriously: "I attach great importance to this platform, and the estimated amount of investment will be this..."

With that said, Lin Xiao raised a finger.

"1 million?" Chen Gang asked with light in his eyes.

At present, the company has invested more than [-] million yuan in projects, and only "Legend of Blood" is used, but that is mainly used to buy copyrights. In fact, the company does not need so much money for development and operation.

"Yes, 1 million..." After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he added, "Mi Yuan!"

Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Gang, who were originally excited, now looked full of astonishment.

"1 million rice gold? That's more than 8 million Huaxia coins!" Chen Gang's eyes widened.

Zhang Xiaolong looked at Lin Xiao at this time, his eyes sparkling, "Boss Lin, you are so optimistic about the future of e-commerce."

"Correct!"

Lin Xiao nodded, "I think this is one of the industries with the greatest potential on the Internet, and of course, it is also one of the industries that burn the most money."

"I am optimistic about its future, but I am not optimistic about its current earning power."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, Zhang Xiaolong nodded. Anyway, Lin Xiao's words are enough to prove that he attaches great importance to this e-commerce platform.

Without further questioning, Zhang Xiaolong began to silently think about where to start.

Vaguely guessing what Zhang Xiaolong was thinking, Lin Xiao said to the two of them at this time: "Now there are some e-commerce platforms at home and abroad, such as Amazon and eBay. These are giants. You can try to understand these websites first. I have a preliminary understanding of the business platform.”

"Then, you come up with a preliminary architectural plan, and we will improve it together."

Naturally, Lin Xiao didn't expect Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaolong to make up their minds and develop an e-commerce platform that satisfied him.

These days, the best e-commerce platform is actually in Lin Xiao's mind.

However, it is also impossible for Lin Xiao to tell the two of his thoughts all at once, so the best way is for them to take a look at the current platform and come up with a preliminary structure, and then Lin Xiao will slowly work on it based on the preliminary structure. Incorporate some of his later experience and ideas, and finally polish it into a mature product.

Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Gang nodded immediately after hearing this.

In fact, most of the products of Eternal Network used this model before. Lin Xiao didn't understand the specific technology, but every time Lin Xiao made suggestions for products, the people in the company were amazed.

Lin Xiao said again at this time: "I attach great importance to the development of this platform, and the requirements are also very high..."

When Lin Xiao said this, Zhang Xiaolong immediately continued: "Mr. Lin, don't worry, we will come up with a preliminary plan as soon as possible, and then start polishing."

"Xiaolong, don't feel pressured, what I just said is the truth." Lin Xiao knew that Zhang Xiaolong had misunderstood what he meant.

"This platform is not in a hurry to be completed in a short time. The reason why I tell you now is that I hope to have a little more time to make the platform well. As long as the product can be done well, my money can afford it!"

If it was changed to two years later, Lin Xiao would definitely not say such a thing. After all, e-commerce has officially entered the stage of competitive layout at that time.

But it is still the end of 2000, the domestic B2C and C2C markets have just begun to be cultivated, and several e-commerce platforms have also just started, so it is really not particularly urgent.

You must know that Ma Yun’s Ari should still be serious about B2B at this time, and just realized the mistakes in the early layout, and is preparing a strategy of comprehensive contraction and expansion, large-scale layoffs, abandoning the international market, and then moving from Mingzhu. Back in Hangzhou, I was thinking hard about how to make a profit.

And Ma Yun had to think about the end of 2 to the beginning of 2002 to start B2003C. No matter how much he advances, it should not be more than 2 years earlier.

If you want to develop your own e-commerce platform, you still have time.

Of course, it is hard to say whether it will produce a butterfly effect and push Ali to another development track when he really enters the e-commerce field.

"Xiaolong, wait a moment and select a few from the company's technical staff to form a project development team, but the development of the e-commerce platform is still kept secret for the time being."

Lin Xiao said to Zhang Xiaolong again at this time, and Zhang Xiaolong nodded immediately.

"Chen Gang, you go back first, I will chat with Xiaolong for a while.

By the way, don't tell the outside world about this for the time being. The things you are in charge of now will be arranged in a unified manner when Xiaolong comes back. I can talk to you first. After the e-commerce platform is established, you will have to take on a lot of technical aspects burden. "

Chen Gang didn't think about Lin Xiao's words for a while, knowing that there was a new project to be done, he responded happily while leaving.

When only Zhang Xiaolong was left in the office, Lin Xiao continued to say at this time: "Xiaolong, I originally set up the Eternal Ancient Group. I have other plans for your arrangement. I plan to announce it later. Now I just take this opportunity to talk to you first. Tell me, and ask for your opinion."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaolong looked at Lin Xiao curiously.

From what Lin Xiao said just now, Chen Gang should be transferred to a new e-commerce platform company in the future. Could it be that he has other arrangements for himself?
