I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 543 Lin Xiao teaches you how to do business!
Eternal Network updated the QQ version, and then quickly attracted QQ users back. The active users of the instant messaging software of the three major companies dropped sharply. Such a situation quickly attracted the attention of the industry and the media.

The most direct manifestation is that the stock prices of the three major portal websites have fallen sharply.

The market is actually very sensitive. The three major portals launched instant messaging software in the early stage, and then grabbed many QQ users, which brought confidence to the market, and also brought the stock prices of the three major portals to rise.

At this time, the popularity of the new version of QQ, the outside world naturally reacted, and the result was a sharp drop in the stock price.

In fact, the three major portals initially chose to enter instant messaging because the most important point was to expand new businesses and raise their stock prices.

It's just one of the reasons that Eternal Network will be a portal website. Before that, which of the three major portal websites was already developing instant messaging software?
It can only be said that knowing that the ancient network may be deploying portals gave them a reason to unite.

The previous results naturally pleased the three families.

However, such a happy time lasted too short. A huge amount of money was invested here, but not many active users were brought in, but the stock price was affected and fell sharply.

Netease and Sina are the first to fail, both of which are still implementing registration prizes.

Then they discovered that the number of new registered users is really still rising, but the number of concurrent online users and active users is really still falling.

This means that many people came purely for this subsidy.

In this case, both Sina and NetEase directly took measures to stop rewards and subsidies.

Sohu is relatively better. After all, their virtual props do not have any substantial cost, and one user can be counted as one user.

The united front reached by the three portals failed shortly after it started.

The outside media naturally once again highly praised the power of the ancient network.

Lin Xiao didn't pay much attention to this.

After the crazy return of users in the first three days, he has basically judged that the three major portals are very passive.

And after Sina and Netease canceled their new user subsidy policies one after another, he knew that at this stage several companies were unwilling to compete head-on with QQ in the field of instant messaging software.

Of course, Lin Xiao believes that the major portal websites will not give up, and they will keep this product until they wait for the right opportunity, and maybe there will be some innovations in their products.

But in this regard, Lin Xiao is not particularly worried.

Communication software such as QQ has a very strong social attribute, especially after the development of functions such as QQ show and QQ group, QQ users have already begun to build social circles.

In this case, QQ's position in this field will become more and more stable, and if it is delayed, unless the three major companies have a killer, it will be difficult to shake the foundation of QQ.

One evidence of the continuous improvement of QQ's social attributes is the sales of QQ Show. After the launch of QQ Group, the number of friends of QQ users has been greatly increased, and the sales of QQ Show have also ushered in a wave of peaks.

Obviously, compared with the previous strangers, the emergence of QQ groups has made QQ more integrated into the acquaintance society, and further stimulated the desire of QQ users to show off.

It can be expected that the sales revenue of QQ Show in the first half of this year will increase compared with the previous year.

There are actions on the Eternal Network, and Eternal Technology is not ambiguous.

On April 4th, Gpod25 is officially listed!

On this day, 5 retail experience stores of Eternal Technology in the capital city of the province officially opened, and on the 5th 20 days ago, 10 stores had already officially opened.

As a result, Eternal Technology has added 15 new retail experience stores in China, bringing the total to 22.

In foreign countries, the retail experience store of Eternal Technology has also been officially established.

The bustling New York became the location of the first overseas retail experience store of Eternal Technology, and Gpod2 was launched in the United States on the same day.

At the same time, Gpod2 goods have also begun to be shipped in other countries and regions. Within about a month, Gpod2 will be able to be sold in many countries and regions around the world.

Unlike when the retail experience store first opened a year ago, Lin Xiao paid close attention to the business situation of the retail experience store on that day. Now he only looks at the data of one month or one quarter.

So on the opening day, Yang Guanbin and others may have been paying attention, while Lin Xiao left the company with a few Gpod2s after work.

Carrying Chu Xiyun back to the courtyard, Lin Xiao handed several Gpod2s to Chu Xiyun.

"I remember that a few people in your dormitory seemed to start talking about Gpod last year, and then they were reluctant to buy it. I will give each of them a Gpod2 tomorrow."

"Really?" Chu Xiyun held it in her hand, thought for a while and said, "I must find a reason, and I can't say that your last product, I will give it away."

Lin Xiao understood what Chu Xiyun meant. Sometimes being too kind to people turned into a burden.

After thinking for a while, Lin Xiao said to Chu Xiyun: "By the way, let's take it as their support for your business. Aren't they the first batch of shopkeepers on Taobao."

"Well, that's a good reason." Chu Xiyun nodded with a smile.

Lin Xiao also asked at this time: "By the way, how is Taobao doing now?"

During this period of time, Lin Xiao really didn't pay much attention to Taobao, which Chu Xiyun is currently operating. The main reason is that both Eternal Technology and Eternal Network are launching new products, and there are so many retail experience stores to open, they are too busy.

"It's developing very fast now." Chu Xiyun said with a happy face.

"At present, Taobao has been promoted in 10 schools, and there are more than 50 merchants."

"Not bad." Lin Xiao also encouraged at this time.

"First make word of mouth among college students, then promote it throughout Yanjing, and finally promote it to the whole country."

"Hmm." Chu Xiyun nodded slightly, then frowned slightly and said:

"It's still difficult to promote it on a large scale. For example, a person from another school placed an order in Xue Nan's store today. Now we don't know how to deal with it."

"If we want to send it over there, we may not have time, but if we don't send it, someone else will buy it."

"If the scope is really expanded, there must be many such things in the future, so what should we do?"

Lin Xiao laughed immediately after hearing this, "What's so difficult about it, if you can't deliver it yourself, then ask someone to deliver it!"

"Someone send it?"

"That's right." Lin Xiao said to Chu Xiyun, "Have you ever sent something? We can send it from Yanjing to Gusu Province, not to mention that it is only within the scope of Yanjing now."

"But it was sent by post. Do we also send it by post?" Chu Xiyun asked puzzled.

Lin Xiao shook his head, "Now we are in the same city, of course we won't go to the post office, but we can hire people."

"The company now hires one person to deliver things. When there are many such situations, it will set up a logistics department and hire more people. When the scale becomes larger and it needs to cross regions, a logistics company will be established."

Chu Xiyun smacked her tongue when she heard this, "This company hasn't started operating yet, yet another company is going to be established?"

Lin Xiao smiled, "I'm talking about the future, now, it's enough to hire one person, one person and one car, and send things to different schools every day, isn't it solved?"

Chu Xiyun immediately asked: "It costs money to hire someone, who will pay for it?"

"Of course it's from our company." Lin Xiao replied.

"However, we can also ask the seller or buyer to pay a certain shipping fee. For intra-city delivery like the current one, Xue Nan can tell the person who wants to buy something to send it over and pay 6 yuan for the shipping fee.

If it doesn't work, Xue Nan and that person will share equally, 3 yuan per person. I guess they will agree. "

Seeing that Chu Xiyun was about to open her mouth to speak, Lin Xiao also guessed what the other party wanted to say, so she continued: "I know what you want to say, if this is the case, the cost will definitely not be recovered, and you have to pay for it."

"Indeed, as an e-commerce platform, I didn't plan to make any money in the early stage. This thing is a money-burning thing in the early stage. Only when the scale becomes larger, and the merchants and users reach a certain scale, will there be a chance to make money. "

"The most important thing in the early stage is to provide the most convenient service to accumulate word of mouth and gather users."

After hearing this, Chu Xiyun couldn't help asking: "Then how do you make money in the later stage?"

Lin Xiao also replied: "There are many, the most common are two types, one is promotional advertising fee, set up some advertising spaces on the homepage, and merchants can advertise after paying a certain fee.

"The other is self-employment, that is, we purchase goods ourselves, and then buy them for users to make money."

As he said that, Lin Xiao said to Chu Xiyun again: "However, this is the last thing to do, and it can only be done when it reaches a certain scale. So at this stage, don't think about making money, just post money. To post money."

"Okay, then I'll hire someone tomorrow." Chu Xiyun responded.

Lin Xiao nodded. In fact, the path Taobao is taking now is completely different from Taobao in the previous life, both in terms of operation methods and foundations.

In the previous life, Taobao was based on Alibaba and had a bunch of merchants, and then entered the C2C market. At that time, they were not able to do logistics simultaneously.

But my own Taobao is different now. I can walk on two legs, start with intra-city delivery, and start e-commerce and logistics together.

Thinking about it, Lin Xiao said to Chu Xiyun again: "In fact, if our company starts to do delivery, then the radiation range of users will not be limited to schools. You can also hire people to expand the scope of some companies around Zhongguancun. business."

"Okay, tomorrow I will organize a group of people at school to distribute leaflets in various places." Chu Xiyun said.

"In addition to offline, don't forget online." Lin Xiao reminded at this time.

"Although I can't import users to the platform yet, the time is not yet ripe, but I can do some proper promotion online."

Lin Xiao continued to advise Chu Xiyun, "For example, some campus networks of the school, and the local forums in Yanjing, these can be used to post links and advertisements."

After hearing this, Chu Xiyun blinked and asked, "Just like when you were promoting hao123?"

"You can refer to it." Lin Xiao nodded and said.

After listening to it, Chu Xiyun was thoughtful. When Lin Xiao promoted hao123, she followed the whole process, so she also knew Lin Xiao's routines.

That night, after communicating with Lin Xiao, Chu Xiyun began to write and draw on the table. She didn't ask more questions, and Lin Xiao didn't get involved too much.

Running Taobao, Lin Xiao belongs to teach Chu Xiyun how to do business.

On the one hand, it is true that Taobao is too small now, and Lin Xiao has no way to take care of it. On the other hand, Chu Xiyun has indeed shown a certain interest.

Of course, it is still up to Chu Xiyun to practice by herself.

Therefore, it would be beneficial for Lin Xiao to come up with an idea in the general direction, and then Chu Xiyun would think more about it on her own.

Anyway, the website is small at this stage, and nothing can be lost.

And judging from what Chu Xiyun did in the early stage, she actually did a good job. This may be due to the fact that her family has a lot of contact with the company, and Chu Xiyun has always been interested in e-commerce.

Of course, it also has something to do with Lin Xiao's nurturing and training. After all, Chu Xiyun and Lin Xiao have been together for the past two years. I dare not say anything else, at least in the Internet, where I have more contact.

As for how to promote Chu Xiyun, after Lin Xiao came up with his idea, he didn't ask about it in detail, but in terms of recruitment, Lin Xiao chose to help take the pulse.

Taobao started to develop cross-campus business, so now it needs to recruit people from at least two aspects.

One is for distribution and the other is for business development.

In terms of candidates, Lin Xiaodu chose a senior who is about to graduate, and the requirements for ability and quality are not low.

This is because the next two departments are actually very important departments. Since they want to recruit, they must recruit those with training value.

After getting the staff out, Lin Xiao once again acted as the hands-off shopkeeper, and handed over the company to Chu Xiyun for operation.

And Lin Xiao himself was not at leisure.

Before the May Day holiday, Lin Xiaofei made a trip to Guangdong Province.

Guoguang Wanjia officially took the first step of expansion and opened the first store outside Pengcheng in Zhucheng.

At the opening ceremony, Lin Xiao also attended directly, serving as a platform for Guoguang Wanjia.

During the May Day holiday, he went back to his hometown in Jiangyou Province to spend a few days with his parents. After the May Day holiday, Lin Xiao flew to Mingzhu again.

Under the condition that Lin Xiao's side has sufficient funds, Huaxin Technology's side is making rapid progress. The decoration of the first main factory building has been completed, and equipment from ASML has begun to enter the site.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Xiao specially invited the top executives of ASML to come to Mingzhu together.

If it is an ordinary customer who orders hundreds of millions of equipment, ASML will indeed send someone over, but it is mainly responsible for technical guidance, and the high-level executives may not necessarily come.

But Lin Xiao is obviously not an ordinary guest room. His future investment holds more than 20.00% of ASML's shares, and he is a well-deserved major shareholder. At his invitation, ASML arranged for a vice president to lead the team.

Lin Xiao went to Mingzhu just to get in touch with the other party.

Lin Xiaoke didn't just want to buy the other party's equipment when he bought ASML's shares.

There are some things that can be contacted first to find out.
