Chapter 726 Thousand Regiments Battle (5k)

"What, Jack!"

Son's voice came from the landline on the desk, with a hint of surprise in his tone, "Do you want Yipay to apply for a third-party payment license?"

"That's right, Sun. The five-year free period for Caifubao and Penguin Pay is coming soon, and there may be charges next year. Instead of giving this money to Lu, why not just use it as a subsidy to promote Yipay?" Lu Yun raised his head. He glanced at Cai Chongxin.

Cai Chongxin remained silent and listened quietly to Son Zhengyi: "I admire your courage very much, but now, online payment is already dominated by Huaxia Lu. How do you plan to make it bigger and stronger?"

“Penguin Pay relies on penguins.”

Lu Yun said seriously: "This model cannot be copied by Yipay, but we can copy the Caifubao model. In addition to subsidizing users, we also need to combine logistics and support cash on delivery. In addition to cooperating with Deppon and Zhaiji Express, Ali has focused on We have invested more than 1000 million US dollars in Xingchen Express to build an express delivery alliance based on cloud logistics technology to compete with the Feigou Kuaima Alliance."

When Sun Zhengyi heard the formula of "self-built logistics + self-operated Tmall + self-owned payment", his eyes lit up, "I think there is no problem, Jack, I support you! However, China has just issued new regulations, and foreign-funded enterprises are not allowed to engage in the third As for the third-party payment service, Yipay’s current equity structure does not meet the approval qualifications, right?”

"That's why I came to you specifically."

Lu Yun said: "We have studied it repeatedly. To successfully obtain the license, we must turn Yipay into domestic capital."

"How to become domestically owned?" Son asked.

Lu Yun said in a roundabout way that he would transfer Yipay to a purely domestic company under his own name and owned by Ali's management.

Son immediately objected: "No! Absolutely not!"

"Don't get excited yet. I know you will object, and I also know why you object. Are you worried that SoftBank will lose control of Yipay and lose Yipay's future earnings, right?"

"Correct!"

"Sun, I can tell you responsibly that you are thinking too much. Yipay's market share is now less than 2%, and its valuation is probably less than a few million US dollars. Even if I intend to grow bigger, , but who can be sure about the future? After all, we are facing Caifubao and Penguin Pay, which hold 98% of the market."

Lu Yun's few words were all about denigrating the value of Yipay.

Masayoshi Son disagrees. No matter what, Yipay also has a share of SoftBank. Millions of dollars are both dollars and dollars!

Cai Chongxin glanced at Lu Yun and then at the phone. His eyes seemed to say, "Look, I know it won't work."

But obviously, Masayoshi Son's reaction was within Lu Yun's expectation. He secretly promised that as long as his proposal is agreed to at the board meeting at the end of June, SoftBank will be given generous returns.

He vowed to guarantee the performance of June 6000th, Double Eleven, and this year, and will increase the annual platform fee and levy on merchants from the past 3 yuan to 6 and [-] yuan, giving Ali a profit Let’s fish from the lake in a sustainable way.

The stock price is high, the dividends are high, and the income is much more than a trivial payment. Is this okay?
"Just do it."

Son Zhengyi thought about it, just look at the [-] this time. If Ahri's performance satisfies him, he can consider voting for him on the board of directors. After all, he is not optimistic about the future of Yipay.

"Sun, Arigado! Thank you for your vote of confidence!"

Lu Yun hung up the phone and looked at Cai Chongxin excitedly, "Look, what did I say? Sun Zhengyi didn't take Yipay seriously at all. As long as the board of directors next week passes a resolution, our privatization will be legal. No need. I’m worried that Yahoo will settle old scores.”

"Jack, don't be too happy too soon."

Cai Chongxin shook his head helplessly, "The situation of this year's shopping festival is not optimistic, and it may not meet Son's expectations."

"What did you say?!"

When Lu Yun saw the document he handed over, his scalp went numb.

Thousands of e-commerce and group buying websites were plunged into chaos by warlords and factions, burning money until June 6.

Anyone in the Thousand Regiments War who has not spent tens of millions of dollars is not qualified to be on the card table. Even if he is, he can only sit at the child's table to eat, and the top player can spend hundreds of millions of dollars.

On the front foot, Tuanbao.com announced a 2.5 million investment plan.

On the back foot, relying on IDG and Sequoia's Dianping, it raised US$1.6 million and invested 4 million US dollars.

Nuomi.com, backed by Baidu, LaShou.com backed by Sohu, Carlyle and other capital investors, Manzuo.com supported by Shanda, and forces supported by the second echelon of the Internet such as Renren, Kaixin.com and 360, have become one. The group turned into a mess.

Traffic, subsidies, building community advertisements, and even subway and bus advertisements are all included. Most of the playing methods have no logic and routines.

By the end of the fight, it was dog-eat-dog with no limits.

There is a group buying website, and I was shocked to find that the company's network was cut off every three or five times. I hired countless network experts, but they couldn't figure out the attack methods of the other party's hackers.

After some investigation, I finally figured it out.

Several competing group-buying websites bribed security guards. This one unplugged the network cable every 15 minutes, and the other one every half an hour.

In addition to paying off security guards, they also pay huge sums of money to poach people.

You use 3 times to poach away, I use 5 times to poach back. The people poaching are just some useless regional managers, but there is no way. They have local resources and control the group buying pattern of a city.

False business wars, intrigues and strategizing.

In real business wars, report false propaganda. Any content that is beneficial to peer websites should be reported to Sanlian.

He plots and conspires and uses all possible means.

It can be called the first war of the century in the history of China’s Internet.

Under heavy artillery fire, Feigou.com was led by Liu Gedong, and the army remained motionless. Lu Fei, the supreme commander, went to Meituan in person.

A brief mobilization meeting was held to boost morale.

After the meeting, Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen followed Lu Fei on both sides and complained wildly, "Mr. Lu, you are crazy, you are all crazy, the demons are dancing around!"

"We just don't want to dance around."

Lu Fei said with a smile: "You are burning money to seize the market regardless of cost, and you don't pay attention to the rate of return or the input-output ratio. Once the capital no longer follows up and invests, it will die soon. It's just a flash in the pan. We don't want to mess up. Just follow your own pace.”

"I understand, Mr. Lu, so we have no plans to compete with them for subsidies online." Wang Xing does not do online promotion, but focuses his resources on offline promotion to open up a new involution track.

"Why did you think of this?"

Lu Fei looked at them curiously.

“The main reason is that Feigou’s traffic system covers everything.”

Wang Huiwen calculated that no matter how much money was invested online, the effect would only increase from 90% to 95%. If it were promoted locally, it would probably increase from 60% to 90%.

"Yes, and I think subsidies for 2B business are only moderately effective. Pushing them offline will be more efficient for merchants."

Wang Xing added.

"If you can understand this, it's worth giving me Meituan to you." Lu Fei said with satisfaction, "The essence of group buying is not a pure C-end business, but to help local service merchants without promotion capabilities establish and promote to consumers. channels.”

Looking left and right, "The more merchants there are, the more orders placed, the higher the sales, and the business will have a grasp. This is more useful than local promotion, poaching, and advertising."

"We are doing the same thing, digging deeper into the supply side."

Wang Xing replied that subsidies include not only users but also merchants, and they prefer exclusive cooperation. Many Taoduoduo merchants have fled to Meituan because they can’t stand Ali’s focus on Tmall.

"We have transferred merchants, and it is said that many people from Taoduoduo are planning to take revenge on Ah Li severely on June [-]th." Wang Huiwen said with a smirk on her lips.

"How to get revenge?"

Lu Fei looked sideways.

"It's just a malicious purchase from a Tmall store, bad reviews, and then a refund." Wang Huiwen reported in detail.

"It's no use scratching your head."

Lu Fei shook his head and laughed. He had to hit the snake seven inches.

For example, traffic is no longer targeted at 51.net. 51.net no longer needs them to bother with it. This time it is targeted at Taobao customers.

It is a personal website that cooperates with Ali Baba and Taoduoduo. Through Taoduoduo’s open data interface, third-party websites can load store and product information, and take a certain commission through promotion, which is equivalent to a part-time online salesman for Ali.

This time, we must eradicate it completely and root it out!

Ahri type, don’t even think about connecting to Mr. Lu’s traffic system!
"Gollum."

Wang Xing swallowed his saliva and thought about it from his perspective. Thinking of his situation surrounded by Luyun, he wanted to die.

Fortunately, I am Mr. Lu's man and not his enemy!
"Mr. Lu, we have more important information."

Wang Huiwen lowered her voice and said, "It was the person from Ah Li who switched jobs to us who leaked the news."

“Oh, Ahri, are there many people switching jobs to come to Meituan?”

Lu Fei was very interested.

"More! Why not more! But we don't accept people easily, nor do we follow the trend of poaching people. If we want to recruit, we will accept those we can use."

Wang Xing said, "The person responsible for local promotion this time is Ali's former vice president of sales. He has improved Meituan's sales system, making the offline level more refined and operating more efficient."

"He was the first to tell us this information."

Wang Hui heard the screen and retreated to the left and right.

Wang Xing got the hint from Lu Fei's eyes and said truthfully: "The person who was in charge of Ahri's B2B business before said that many suppliers and customers were committing fraud, and there were signs that there was acquiescence and assistance from the direct sales team within the platform."

"Are you sure?" Lu Fei's eyes sparkled.

Wang Huiwen nodded: "Half a month ago, we asked an agency to investigate. It was shocking. More than 100 families were randomly checked. Calculating the proportion, I am afraid there are one to two thousand families."

"Where are the investigation reports and evidence?"

"Yes, we plan to expose it to online media such as Penguin, New Wolf, and NetEase. What do you think?"

"No, this matter needs to be exposed on Weibo."

Lu Fei whispered to the two of them.

"Yes, Mr. Lu!"

Wang Xing and Wang Hui heard the same voice, their faces full of excitement.

"God is really helping me. This time Meituan surpassed Ahri, we are more leisurely and calm."

Lu Fei patted their shoulders and walked into the office.

At midnight, the lights are bright.

On the TV screen, Xu Lei was standing in front of the starter button device. At this moment, the big screen screen instantly switched to the animation of a clock, with the second hand moving second by second.

"Now let's count down by 5."

"five four three two one!!"

Li Hong said loudly: "June [-]th has officially begun!!"

The moment the button was pressed, the display screen switched to a new screen smoothly, a cartoon machine like a slot machine, a series of 10-digit "0", and suddenly, there was a change.

21 seconds, 1 million!
4 minutes, 10 million!
The non-stop beating numbers are shining.

Suddenly, like a thunderbolt, it exploded in a silent place.

Lu Yun took a few deep breaths and held the remote control tightly in his hand. Finally, he couldn't hold it any longer and changed the channel to Blueberry.

At this time, the Tmall Taoduoduo live broadcast that Blueberry Channel cooperated with barely reached 5 million in sales in 4.5 minutes.

Immediately afterwards, it broke 12 billion in about 10 minutes.

Half an hour later, GMV had exceeded 30 billion.

Lu Yun took a deep breath. His blood pressure, stimulated by Fei's purchase of Jingdong, slowly fell back. He silently comforted himself that everything would be fine when Ahri was listed on the U.S. stock market in the future.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the middle-aged and poor!
After making some mental assumptions, I mustered up the courage to look at the real-time data released by Meituan. The 32.7 billion figure came into view.

"what!"

"How can it be almost the same! Impossible! Impossible!"

Lu Yun suddenly stood up, his eyes rounded.

At this moment, Cai Chongxin hurried over and brought bad news: "A group of people are maliciously attacking our major Tmall customers, frequently returning goods, writing negative reviews and giving low scores..."

"That's a lot!"

Lu Yun's heart skipped a beat, "Did Lu Fei, a bastard organized by the navy, do it? Was it him!"

Cai Chongxin shook his head and said: "Currently looking back from the payment account, they are all small and medium-sized merchants on our own platform."

"What? Why the hell did they do that!"

Lu Yun looked confused, one of his own people beating his own people?
Cai Chongxin smacked his lips and said, "One or two feedbacks are that we blame our June [-]th event for giving all promotional resources such as through trains to Tmall, regardless of small and medium-sized merchants like them."

"Ho, rabble!"

Lu Yun asked about the situation. It was just a small-scale rebellion and could be suppressed quickly. He felt relieved and said, "Ignore them. Don't tolerate those with serious crimes. Just call the police directly. Anyone found will be banned. They won't." There are plenty of people who can do it.”

Cai Chongxin remained motionless and opened his mouth.

"Anything else?"

Lu Yun had an ominous premonition in his heart, "I just said that today's data is wrong, why did Meituan suddenly catch up with us!"

Cai Chongxin said in a serious tone: "360, Penguin, Sogou, and Baidu have all joined forces to start a large-scale cleanup of our Taobao websites. The websites that previously contained more than 600 million items are now less than 10, which is a serious shrinkage!"

"This is definitely something Lu Fei can do."

Lu Yun quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.

Lu Fei couldn't just clean up Taobao's website. He must have a back-up plan! There must be a back-up plan!

As soon as he thought about this, he pressed the phone on the table: "Tell Wei Zhe to come to me right away! Right now!"

"Jack, right now they are only cleaning up websites with too much duplicate content. The next step may be to completely ban them."

Cai Chongxin reminded: "We must be prepared."

Just when the two of them were worried, Wei Zhe hurried over and before Lu Yun could say anything, he first brought the bad news——

Penguin took the lead, and Baidu, NetEase, New Wolf, Sogou, Shanda and other platforms blocked access to Ali on the grounds of "security".

Even words such as "Ali Baba" are strictly prohibited.

"This is unfair competition! Unfair competition!"

Lu Yun became angry with shame, "I'm going to the relevant departments to sue this bastard Lu Fei! I'm going to sue him for taking advantage of his monopoly..."

Cai Chongxin was more restrained than him, "There must be a reason, right?"

Wei Zhe swallowed his saliva, "Uh... Weibo exposed that we, our B2B business, have serious integrity issues..."

"What's the problem? Please explain it clearly."

Lu Yun's face was so gloomy that he could even drip water.

"In the past two years, we and our B2B platform suppliers may have been involved in commercial fraud, and there are many..."

Wei Zhe lowered his head, not daring to look directly.

"what!"

Lu Yun picked up the cup on the table and smashed it on the ground. Before he completely lost his mind, he ordered: "Check, find out all those involved, close them all and deal with them. Also, there is definitely an insider involved in this kind of thing, otherwise they will If you don't have the ability, pull them out, pull them out..." As he said that, his heart ached and he covered it tightly.

"Jack (Mr. Lu)!"

The two were startled when they saw him slumping down.

Lu Yun grabbed Cai Chongxin's hand tightly, "I'm fine. The most important thing now is to find these people and submit them to the judicial authorities for investigation. No matter what, we must restore our reputation!"

"Why don't you go quickly?"

Cai Chongxin urged Wei Zhe to leave, feeling confused.

Now, why should I explain it to the board of directors?
Even if the results of [-] meet expectations, I am afraid that these mistakes will be enough to make Son Zhengyi give up supporting the privatization of Yipay.

What's more...

I saw on TV that the total sales of Tmall Taoduoduo at this moment reached an astonishing 43 billion. However, on the page displayed on the computer, Meituan once again updated its data——

50 billion!
Meituan unexpectedly killed Ali Daba!
"Uh~"

Lu Yun's face turned pale, his heart twitched, and he kept screaming.

"Jack, hold on, should I take you to the hospital?"

Cai Chongxin originally wanted to call 120 for emergency treatment, but when he thought of the ambulance arriving at the headquarters building, the consequences would be unimaginable.

I can only suffer another bitter Luyun.

"It's over, it's over."

Lu Yun's lips trembled, and a tear of regret flowed from his eyes, rolling down his cheeks.

I regret so much. Maybe I shouldn’t have started e-commerce in the first place.

If we don’t engage in e-commerce, we won’t compete with Lu Fei.

If I hadn't hit the track, I wouldn't have ended up like this, tortured by him everywhere, ravaged by him again and again, Lu Fei, Lu Fei.

You are such a bully!
