Reborn Millennial Gamer

Chapter 181 Arms Race
Zijin Building, Joyo.com.

A dark cloud floated outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and it lasted for a long time.

Lei Jun was frowning. A few days ago, he only laughed at Microsoft's embarrassment, but now he can't laugh. It's all Lu Fei's fault.

"He avoids the big and the small with one hand, what a master!"

Chen Nian sighed. He didn't expect that after eBay took control of the top portal, Feigou would immediately infiltrate small and medium-sized websites, and it was not as domineering and exclusive as eBay.

In the agreement, only eBay is explicitly prohibited.

E-commerce companies such as Excellence, Dangdang, and Taoduoduo can still spend money to promote them, which is equivalent to putting eBay, the second child, on the opposite side.

Lei Jun said with emotion: "This is the pattern, the gap between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang."

"Should we follow? If we follow, we will have to burn money."

Chen Nian couldn't stop smiling wryly. Excellence managed to gather 30 users. Although it was only one-seventh of Feigou's, it was already the third e-commerce website in China in the Alexa ranking.

The boss and the second child fight, and it is he, the third child, who suffers.

Either follow the involution, an arms race, or completely screw it up, lie flat with the fourth to the youngest, and let the boss and the second fight.

The optimal solution is naturally the latter, just wait and see.

But every website has its own ulterior motives, like a bully who says "you don't study for naked exams", stays up late at night to study secretly, and rolls secretly, what the hell!

"Burn!" Lei Jun said firmly.

"We are only now making ends meet. We have to spend money on promotion, or move to a cheaper office building. The rent in Zijin Building is too expensive."

Chen Nian was digging around for money, saving a little is a little bit.

"Saving money is not enough, I have asked Lin Shuixing to find the money."

"The female president of Lianxiang who was airborne?"

"She said that Tiger Fund intends to give Joyorong a sum of RMB 6000 million."

…………

Hangzhou, Ah Li Baba.

"Mr. Lu, I inquired about it. The promotion fee for a small website is a few hundred yuan, for a mid-range website a few thousand, for the top one like hao123, it costs twenty to thirty thousand."

Sun Tongyu stood in the office and reported, and then handed over the list of price statistics.

Lu Yun wanted to find a cheap but high-traffic website, and all of a sudden, he locked his eyes on happysky and japanesegirl...

Sun Tongyu solemnly reminded that these are "grass liu communities", but now is the golden age when you can find a lot of green websites with sohu.

"Why are all these websites included!" Lu Yun glanced at the list, his face turning blue.

Sun Tongyu rolled his eyes, and it was only 8 nm, and it would be difficult for me to do things for you if I advertised for half a month with this amount.

"The promotion fee is really not enough."

Lu Yun coughed a few times guiltily, and was thinking of calling Cai Chongxin to come in as a staff officer, when he immediately pushed the door open and walked in hurriedly.

He hurriedly said: "EBay has made another move!"

Lu Yun and Sun Tongyu were taken aback. The offensive of traffic promotion has not subsided, and a new wave of offensive is coming so soon?

And be fast, precise and ruthless, attacking logistics and express delivery!
Lu Yun was silent for a while, "Chongxin, we have to go to Nihong immediately."

"Don't wait for Taoduoduo to produce data?" Cai Chongxin asked in surprise.

"The plan can't keep up with the changes, and if you don't change the money, Taoduoduo will not be able to develop in this life."

Lu Yun originally wanted to rely on Taoduoduo's online performance to make up a story about Biaofeigou.com and "fudge" a financing, but he can't take care of so much right now.

In war, what is fought is silver.

Cai Chongxin said: "I will arrange to meet with SoftBank immediately."

Lu Yun's heart sank, what is Lu Fei doing now?
........................

One day, two days, three days, eBay's massive offensive shocked the e-commerce circle, large and small platforms, no matter active or passive, were involved in the whirlpool of competition.

On the fourth day, Lu Fei remained in the Shanghai stock market.

After inspecting the Aurora game, he temporarily changed the itinerary and asked Liu Yidong to come by plane overnight and arrive at Qingpu together.

In this area, there can be half of Huaxia Express.

Yuantong, Shentong, Yunda, Santong and Dali are all here except Zhongtong, which has not yet been born.

The business of Feigo.com mainly relies on the postal service, the big brother of state-owned assets. Although the efficiency in East China and South China is not as good as that of SF Express and STO Express, in the central and western regions, there are more deliveries and fewer deliveries. There is no subsidy for delivery and no express delivery. , the outlets can't survive.

Unexpectedly, the second wave of eBay's attack was so fast, and they even engaged in the trick of "choosing one from the other"——

Not for merchants, but for courier companies.

The first one to go is Yunda.

The boss, Nie Pengyun, received him personally, and directly confessed that eBay had approached him to discuss a subsidy agreement in private.

Two, one must be chosen.

"Ebay really does that?"

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect eBay to be so brave. Its grasp not only extended to the upstream promotion, but also extended to the downstream logistics.

In the previous life, Taobao and Jingdong had all kinds of "choose 2 from 1". That was also when e-commerce was no longer an "incremental" market but a "stock" market, and the two tigers competed and killed each other.

Today, e-commerce is just starting to open up wasteland.

"Yes, but I didn't agree."

Nie Pengyun is not stupid, neither side should offend.

The odd number of eBay's products can't compete with Feigou at all. Even if the subsidy is transferred, it still can't make up for the gap in quantity.

Lu Fei nodded in satisfaction, "Online shopping achieves express delivery, and express delivery promotes online shopping. Feibu and Yunda can completely complement each other. In the future, we will consider taking out some of the postal share for B2C business orders."

"President Lu, don't worry, my Yunda will definitely support you."

Nie Pengyun swore, "It's just an eBay list..."

"It should be accepted or should be accepted, eBay can do such a thing as 'choose one from the other', but Feigou will never do it."

Lu Fei received such a sentence, this trip was not in vain, he got up and left.

"It's a coincidence that my elder brother and I are 'Feiyun', and you and your elder brother are 'Yunfei'. I have to say it is a kind of fate."

Nie Pengyun saw them off all the way, and sent Lu Fei and Liu Yandong out of the company. He couldn't help but sigh: "If my elder brother is still alive without the car accident, eBay dares to mention this kind of 'choose one', he will definitely not do eBay business."

"It's a pity that heaven is jealous of talents."

Liu Yandong deeply felt the same way. Nie Pengfei is a legendary name that cannot be avoided in the Chinese express delivery industry.

He is almost the core and arrow figure of the entire Tonglu express circle, and he is also the boss of Shentong.

For example, Zhang Xiaojuan of Yuantong is his fellow villager and factory friend, who was originally Shentong's financial manager.

As for the Chen brothers and sisters who are now at the helm of Shentong, Chen Xiaoying is his wife, and Chen Dejun is his uncle.

If Nie Pengfei did not die unexpectedly, it is very likely that he will be given the title of "Godfather of Huaxia Express". The old branches of Yuantong, Yunda, and Tiantian, which were split from the Shentong department, may no longer exist.

However, from the long-term perspective of e-commerce, logistics companies are destined to flourish.

With the order volume of Feigou and Nie Tengyun's relationship, Lu Fei and Liu Yandong quickly made appointments with Yuantong and Shentong.

After all, the current private express company is just following the postal service to drink some soup, and this time Feigou throws out meat.

"Mr. Lu, Nie Pengyun is very knowledgeable about current affairs."

Sitting in the car, Liu Yandong couldn't help but praise him.

Yunda not only remained neutral and did not stand in line, but also took the initiative to reduce the price of the fee, and the small item was reduced to 6 yuan.

And for large items, more than 7 yuan and 5 yuan per kilogram, which is 1 yuan cheaper than before, that is, each order, such as eBay, costs 1 yuan more than Feigou.

"If you don't cut prices, how can you compete with the Postal Service?"

Lu Fei looked out the window, the sunset was red.

Liu Yandong understood immediately, and asked, "Well, Mr. Lu, don't we want to do logistics?"

"Of course we have to do it. The time is not yet ripe."

Lu Fei pouted, if not for eBay's sudden attack, he really didn't want to get involved in logistics so soon.

Not to mention the lack of a backbone talent, logistics alone burns money, and Feigou, which only has a second round of financing, can afford it. Express delivery is an asset-heavy industry.

More critically, the strategic focus is on c2c.

Small and medium-sized sellers are all over the country, and they operate at low or zero cost. Letting them send their goods to Feigo.com in advance to distribute the delivery means that they also have to operate with heavy assets.

The self-operated logistics system is only suitable for b2c.

Ari Baba’s mistake is that Taobao and Tmall share the rookie network, and Jingdong knows clearly that third-party merchants hand over to Jitu and Shentong.

"Too!"

Liu Weidong listened to the analysis, "What if we buy them?"

"Your appetite is really big."

Lu Fei squinted and smiled, thinking of buying all the three links, one Da and one Feng in his mind, suddenly his neck felt itchy, and he wanted to tie a rope and hang himself on the southeast branch.

"It's okay to buy, but you can invest."

After finishing speaking, the two chatted freely about the logistics blueprint of Feibu. They didn't enjoy themselves when they returned to the hotel, and they were going to have a deep chat in the room.

When Lu Fei opened the door, Tang Danian smiled and made an "ok" gesture:
"Zeng Li's 'Glamorous Man' is done."
