Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 489 Little Ma wants to engage in e-commerce

"E-commerce?"

Chen Li looked at Brother Ma on the opposite side, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

When it comes to e-commerce, people will be familiar with it 20 years later.

But in China in [-], this thing... is actually a relatively new vocabulary.

In fact, at this time, some people in China have started to start e-commerce business one after another, but the scale is basically not large.

Moreover, e-commerce these days is still in the initial stage of exploration, and most of them are still implementing the B2C model.

The so-called B2C refers to the retail model in which enterprises sell products and services directly to consumers.

So in the early days, most e-commerce websites were built by the enterprises themselves.

For example, the well-known 8848 website, an e-commerce website that has written a lot in the domestic e-commerce industry, was actually just to expand the software market operated by its own company in the early days.

At that time, the founder of ~8848, the reason why he built this 8848 website was actually just to try to see if he could sell the software he operated on the Internet.

At the beginning, almost everyone was not optimistic about this so-called 8848.
Because at that time, domestic e-commerce could be said to be barren, and there were no conditions for developing e-commerce at all.

There are less than 200 million netizens, and no one buys or sells online, and there is no bank card for online payment. There is even no word "e-commerce" in the domestic industrial and commercial registration industry.

But at this moment, 8848, founded by the founder, opened the curtain of domestic e-commerce with a development speed beyond everyone's imagination.

The first self-developed and used a set of technical platforms suitable for the domestic e-commerce environment.

The first e-commerce platform that fully adapts to dozens of online settlement methods.

The first company to implement cash on delivery in more than 50 cities.

The first company to successfully implement the remote third-party logistics management system.

The first company opened and successfully operated the first open online shopping mall system in China.

8848 website~ In terms of e-commerce, it has almost achieved the meaning covered by its name!
8848~The altitude of Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world.

The reason why the founder took this name at the beginning probably had this idea.

It's just~ It's a pity that the founder may be a good entrepreneur, but he knows almost nothing about the power of capital.

Originally, 8848 was expected to become the "Amazon" in China, but in the end it disappeared in the long river of Internet development.

So~ Chen Li was a little disdainful of the words that Rebus said in his previous life, "Even a pig can fly as long as you stand on the wind."

If it is really like what he said, then in the early days of the domestic Internet development, there were quite a few pigs standing on the wind, but in the end there were not many pigs in total.

It's like Yinshan Software, where Rebs originally worked, whether it's the software industry of its old business, or the game industry that its subsidiaries have entered, both of which are one of the hot spots.

But in fact, Yinshan didn't catch any of them.

So ~ what some people say is basically just listening to it for fun, don't take it seriously.

This is also the reason why Chen Li was reborn, and he didn't go into stocks~he didn't go into real estate.

Because he knows that he is not that material!
Not to mention these industries, Chen Li didn't dare to go too deep even in the Internet, which he knew better.

Just like e-commerce, Chen Li knew that this industry would become an important part of the domestic Internet in the future, but he dared not touch it.

why?Just look at how miserable the founders of domestic e-commerce were in the early days.

Don't look at these people who will be industry leaders and business elites in 20 years.

But in the early days~ this group of people had a worse life than the other.

The reason is also very simple~ engage in the Internet~ engage in e-commerce. This thing costs money, or it costs a lot of money.

So if you look at the Internet bigwigs in the early stage, they were basically either looking for money~ or on the way to find money.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Li begged his grandpa to sue his grandma all day long to solicit investment, so he couldn't do such a thing!
The best way is to invest some money in the early stage, and then watch those future Internet bigwigs work for themselves, and sit on the Diaoyutai by themselves~just wait for the harvest.

Of course~ Chen Li doesn't mean that he doesn't get involved at all, for example, he directly engages in hao123.

But that's because hao123 is different from other Internet industries. The biggest difference is that this website does not require too much investment at all.

A computer and a few small employees can completely develop hao123 even better than in the previous life.

Chen Li naturally wants to take down this kind of website with low investment and high income, and he doesn't have to worry about it.

But Chen Li, an e-commerce company, didn't think much about it.

Especially now that Ma Xiaoyun has been fooled into the Internet security industry by himself~ Chen Li doesn't even think about e-commerce.

At most~ When Brother Dong builds Jingbei Mall, Chen Li may take part in it, but he doesn't trust anything else.

But now~ Brother Xiao Ma, who was supposed to be the overlord of the game, suddenly told Chen Li that he was going to enter the e-commerce market.

What the hell is going on with this?

To be honest~ When Chen Li heard Brother Xiao Ma say that he was going to learn from Ma Xiaoyun about e-commerce, he immediately sweared, and then... his whole mind was in a daze.

This gave him a feeling~ even more nonsense than him fooling Ma Xiaoyun into selling the millennium bug for him.

Anyway, he fooled Ma Xiaoyun, he did it on his own initiative, so he was naturally prepared in his heart.

But now that Brother Ma has come, the excitement brought to Chen Li is a bit big.

But when Chen Li calmed down and thought about it, he suddenly found that this matter didn't seem so nonsense.

Because it really has to be counted. This matter actually has something to do with him.

Before Chen Li asked Ma Xiaoyun to help him sell Y[-]K software, Ma Xiaoyun was already doing things related to e-commerce.

At that time, this guy was even mixed into the establishment, of course ~ the establishment may actually mean nothing to Ma Xiaoyun.

After all, this guy was originally a university teacher. His ability to resign from the university and go to the sea to develop means that he doesn't value the so-called establishment so much at all.

In fact, the reason why this guy set foot in this industry is that when this guy was working as a translator and went abroad for business, he accidentally discovered that the e-commerce market in the United States has matured.

At this time, the domestic Internet industry has just started, and this is undoubtedly an opportunity for smart people like Ma Xiaoyun.

Many people think that the domestic Internet industry has just started. What kind of e-commerce is engaged in at this time? It is definitely a brain problem.

But for smart people, what they value is naturally not the one-third of an acre of land in front of them.

This is like a story that Chen Li had read before. It said that two salesmen selling shoes went to the same place, but found that the local people didn't wear shoes at all.

So a salesman directly reported to the company: "There is no market here, because people here don't wear shoes at all."

And another salesman reported to the company: "The prospect here is really good, because people here don't have shoes at all."

The same situation ~ different people have different results.

So ~ even if many people think that e-commerce is not suitable for domestic business, Ma Xiaoyun still thinks that the domestic e-commerce market is definitely promising.

So this buddy finally decided to resign from the public office and planned to bring his team back to Lin'an to start a business.

The reason why this guy was dragged by Chen Li to sell Y[-]K software for a period of time, and finally plunged into the Internet security industry, is actually the same reason.

Because this buddy has discovered the prospect of the Internet security industry, and even because the prospect of e-commerce is not so clear at present, it is the Internet security industry. It can be seen and touched.

Coupled with the team behind Chen Li, the clever Ma Xiaoyun naturally changed his plan.

Anyway, whether it is engaged in e-commerce or Internet security, the core focus is to make money.

As long as it makes money ~ it doesn't matter if it's e-commerce or internet security.

But~ Although Ma Xiaoyun changed his choice, it doesn't mean that he is not optimistic about e-commerce.

In fact~ this guy talked to Chen Li and his friends about the domestic e-commerce industry on many occasions, and Ma Xiaoyun always held a positive attitude.

He is very clear that with the popularization of domestic computers, the development of the Internet is bound to usher in a new situation.

And it was precisely because this guy talked about this topic many times that the memory of Xiao Ma, who had eaten several meals with him, was still fresh.

Now ~ Xiao Ma has just sold Fujixun and OICQ, and Fujixun Five Tigers are holding millions of dollars.

At this time ~ if you only want to squander the wealth you have earned ~ it is definitely not a smart person's approach.

Plan your next step first~ This is what Xiao Ma thinks.

So this guy came to Yanjing, in the name of coming here to see if there is any suitable project, and by the way, he invited Chen Li to have a meal to apologize.

But in fact~ this guy came to Yanjing for the purpose of pony brother and e-commerce.

"Okay~ Mr. Ma went out to talk about things today."

"Well~ let's have dinner together in the evening, and you can ask Mr. Ma in detail when the time comes!"

Chen Li looked at Brother Ma, hesitating to speak several times.

In fact, speaking of it, he is the person who understands e-commerce best in this era.

But in the end, Chen Li did not choose to talk about e-commerce with Ma.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk, but that he needs some time to accept the current situation.

Brother Xiaoma quit gaming~ he plans to do e-commerce, how dare you believe that?
In fact, Tengxun used to do e-commerce before, but it was a mess. In the end, he simply dumped his e-commerce department to Dong Ge's Jingbei Mall, and took this opportunity to directly become the major shareholder of Jingbei.

This trick is very smart. Since I can't handle e-commerce well, I'll find someone who can do it well to invest.

Anyway, Fujixun had plenty of resources at that time, and the effect of the cooperation between the two definitely far exceeded 1+1=2!

But ~ if you want to ask Chen Li, Chen Li can't guarantee whether Xiao Ma can do e-commerce now.

It is undeniable that e-commerce will be an absolute trend in [-].

Both 8848~ and eBay were officially established in 99.

Moreover, these two ~ have achieved quite impressive results in the later development of the e-commerce industry.

The first half ~ 8848 Yiqi Juechen, the second half ~ eBay suddenly emerged.

As for the Ahri created by Ma Xiaoyun in the previous life~ at the beginning, he could only be regarded as a younger brother in front of these two families.

When 8848 is beautiful~ Ma Xiaoyun's Ali is not even considered a bubble in the industry.

When eBay rose, Ma Xiaoyun's Ari was almost lost.

If it wasn't for Ma Xiaoyun's surprising $10 billion investment from Yahu, then what would the e-commerce market be like later on? It's hard to say.

Of course~ as the saying goes, winners and losers, everything depends on the result.

In the previous life~ it was Ma Xiaoyun who finally won.

But now~ Chen Li doesn't think that brother Ma can become Ma Xiaoyun in his previous life.

Because Brother Ma is a technical guy?

Although the achievements of his previous life have proved that this guy can also manage, but Brother Xiaoma himself said in his previous life that he is actually not good at managing enterprises.

If~Brother Xiao Ma wants to start a software company now, then Chen Li feels that there should be a high probability that the other party will succeed.

But ~ e-commerce, it is not just as simple as building a website.

Just like Ari in the previous life~ If Ma Xiaoyun was just a technician, Chen Li can guarantee that Ari would have died long ago and could not die again.

If it weren't for Ma Xiaoyun's eloquence, which brought a large amount of investment to the company, it would be absolutely impossible for Ali to win the industry competition.

And this point is precisely the weakness of Xiao Ma.

So ~ Chen Li decided to stay on the sidelines for the time being, he planned to see what this little Ma brother was planning.

After all, the other party's intention to enter e-commerce is still in the "investigation" stage. If the other party confirms it, Chen Li will decide according to the situation.

If ~ yes if ~ this little ma brother insists on entering the e-commerce industry, Chen Li may provide some help to the other party.

After all~ He has a certain personal relationship with Brother Xiao Ma now, so there is a limited amount of help. It can still be given.

Chen Li may even invest. After all, Chen Li feels that if he has his own help, Ma's e-commerce business should not lose money.

After all, this is [-]~ E-commerce is the real outlet.

Although Chen Li felt that Ma Xiaoyun was unlikely to achieve the same achievements as Ma Xiaoyun in his previous life in the area of ​​e-commerce, he felt that it should not be difficult for the other party to make some money.

And e-commerce. Venture capital is much better than Instant Messenger.

As long as he pulls in a few rounds of venture capital~ and then chooses to withdraw at the right time, Chen Li believes that he should also be able to make a fortune.

Of course~ Chen Li definitely didn't want to make that little money, he just simply cared about his personal relationship with Brother Xiao Ma.

After all, if he really wants to make money, Chen Li might as well find an Internet company that he "understands" better by investing in Brother Xiao Ma.

"Hehe~ Chen Li, you are really floating!"

Thinking of this, Chen Li couldn't help cursing himself in his heart.When... he can comment on Xiao Ma like this?
And when he had the opportunity to invest in Brother Xiao Ma, he, Chen Li, still hesitated?
I have to say ~ Chen Li is a little confused now!
