Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 700 Invoke the teacher to question Jack Ma 【Monthly ticket】

The next day, Lu Yiming went to Yixun Technology.

Seeing Lu Yiming's appearance, Zhang Xiaolong felt very surprised, and asked, "Mr. Lu, why are you here?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I haven't been here for a long time, let's take a look. Is the progress of the recent product development okay?"

"Well, it has been going according to the original plan."

After Zhang Xiaolong finished speaking, he remembered one thing and said, "Last night, Mr. Jiang from Junzi Huyu called me and said that you had given a task to embed a web game on the QQ client."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "I told him. It seems that Mr. Jiang is very concerned about this matter. Yesterday he complained that my game sucks."

Zhang Xiaolong said bluntly: "Actually, I also think this game sucks."

"..."

You people don't understand the charm of stealing food at all!

Afterwards, Zhang Xiaolong asked again: "Mr. Lu, did you come here for this matter?"

"No."

Lu Yiming sat on the sofa and started to boil water to make tea.

"I plan to separate the virtual mall and payment software and set up a dedicated e-commerce platform."

Virtual shopping mall and payment software, now Yixun Technology has a team working on it, which is prepared for selling things like QQ show, but now Lu Yiming thinks that these things have a greater use.

But now that e-commerce is starting to rise, Lu Yiming must also come out to occupy a hole.

However, e-commerce is much more complicated than a virtual mall. Supply chains, channels, transportation, etc. all require a huge team.

It can greatly promote the employment of ordinary people in the middle and lower classes.

This is a gold medal for avoiding death.

Lu Yiming intends to imitate the model of Amazon and JD.com to engage in e-commerce. Right now, Brother Dong is still selling CDs, so it's time to cut Hu.

"I've written a plan to build a one-stop service e-commerce group. Take a look."

Lu Yiming handed the rough draft he had written to Zhang Xiaolong.

"Luming Mall?"

Zhang Xiaolong couldn't help complaining: "Are you serious?"

Lu Yiming said: "It doesn't matter what the name of the website is, the important thing is that I am happy."

The virtual shopping mall and payment software were originally for the convenience of QQ users to recharge, so Zhang Xiaolong will be heard about this matter.

E-commerce and social networking will become two independent companies in the future, so Luming Mall is not suitable to continue to be placed in the framework of Junzi Huyu.

Zhang Xiaolong doesn't like taking power, and it has nothing to do with him to operate independently in the future, so he doesn't have any dissatisfaction with Lu Yiming's decision, not to mention that Lu Yiming is the boss, so he just asked: "Who will be in charge of Luming Mall?"

Lu Yiming said, "What do you think of Lao Rong?"

Lao Rong is Wang Juntao's pseudonym. He has been on sports forums all year round and wrote a football hit article "Dalian Jinzhou Doesn't Believe in Tears".

It was also from then on that, in his exchanges with netizens, he felt that the Internet will be everywhere in the future, and the combination of the Internet and commerce is the general trend. He finally devoted himself to e-commerce and started B2C with his idol Bezos.

However, when luck was bad, the pioneer became a martyr.

Wang Juntao's reputation is not small, and Zhang Xiaolong knows him.Hearing that Lu Yiming was going to invite Wang Juntao to take charge of Luming Mall, he immediately felt a little unbelievable: "Mr. Lu, Wang Juntao is the founder of 8848. How could he come to work for you?"

His reaction is very normal, anyone would think so, Wang Juntao owns such a big company in his own hands, how could he still work for others?

However, Lu Yiming said with a smile: "It is not surprising that so many founders end up as laborers."

Beijing, 8848 headquarters.

Wang Juntao's originally smug face was full of exhaustion and unwillingness.

As the founder, he has lost power in the company he founded.

Partners, management, investors, just about everyone is against him.

In the Internet age, as long as you are alive, you will be disturbed by variables. This kind of entrepreneurial uncertainty is both arsenic and honey for entrepreneurs.

Compared with the difficulties and twists and turns of the contemporary Ahri in the early stage, the development of 8848 can be described as smooth.

It has only been eight months since it went online, and not only has it recovered all the costs since the establishment of the business department, but it has also made a net profit of several thousand yuan.This is much stronger than Ma Jieke founded Taobao a few years later and ended up losing money for three consecutive years.

Of course, the success of 8848's e-commerce model is due to the support of Lianbang Company.

On the one hand, 8848 has solved the three insurmountable problems that plagued e-commerce—the number of netizens, online settlement, and distribution system.

On the other hand, 8848’s target customers were highly compatible with netizens. Although there were not many netizens at the time, most of them were computer players and industry professionals, and most of them were Lianbang users. It was easy to transfer from offline to online.

8848 has been pursued by many capitalists. IDG, Yahoo and other capitals have injected 200 million US dollars successively to obtain 55% of the equity, Lianbang accounted for 33%, and Wang Juntao accounted for even less.

Behind the glamour, a crisis is quietly brewing.

The prosperity of the world is all about profit. From the day IDG and other venture capital institutions invested in 8848, they began to plan for 8848's listing and cashing out. Within 2 years, three domestic portals have landed on Nasdaq one after another, making venture capitalists jealous.

Therefore, 9, which has been in operation for only 8848 months, is also preparing to start the process of listing on NASDAQ.

In order to comply with the listing policy of the beautiful country at that time, the capitalists went through a complicated capital operation. IDG owns 70% of the shares and becomes the first shareholder, while Wang Juntao's shares are diluted to less than 3%.

That is, since then, Wang Juntao has lost the right to speak of 8848.

失去王军涛掌控的8848很快出现了问题，8848的优势是B2C，但资本方非得把8848包装成B2B，而且还要砍掉B2C业务。

Because of the cold winter of the Internet, even Wall Street is madly saying that Amazon is about to die, but in fact Amazon’s stock has almost fallen to the bottom, so that financial vampires think that the B2C model will not work in the capital market at all.

Wang Juntao still remembers that on the day 8848 went public, the dot-com bubble burst and the Nasdaq index plummeted. IDG shareholders were arguing endlessly about whether to go public or wait for the index to recover.

Wang Juntao, who has only 3% of the shares in his hand, has no right to speak, and can only watch helplessly as the B2C business is spun off and turned into another company - my8848.

In fact, at this time, 8848 still holds a solid capital of 7000 million U.S. dollars and sufficient ammunition. If it is not in a hurry to land on NASDAQ, it can survive for more than ten years.

Wait until after the Internet bubble passes, and then plan to go public. Maybe there will be no such thing as Taobao and JD.com in the future.

It's a pity that the idiots like IDG Capital are not good at it. What they think about is not how to run the company, but how to divide the money so that everyone can break up!
For this matter, Wang Juntao has been arguing with reason, but unfortunately no one listened to him, and he was very angry.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the office door.

When Wang Juntao heard the knock on the door, he stretched out his hand to smooth the messy hair on the top of his head, and said, "Come in."

It was his female secretary who came in. Like all bosses who made a lot of money in a short period of time, he couldn't avoid his demands on the female secretary.

When he looked over the desk in front of him, followed the black pointed-toe high-heeled shoes on the secretary's feet, walked up through the long sleeves wrapped in black stockings, browsed through two majestic mountain peaks, and stared at the beautiful face. When she turned her face, the secretary said: "I just received a call from Mr. Lu Yiming, and it is estimated that he will arrive at our company in half an hour."

"The richest man in Lu?"

Wang Juntao raised his eyebrows, and there was a strange look in his eyes.

"Hurry up and get ready, take someone to clean up the living room, and brew the tea I bought at the auction a few days ago for Lu Shoufu!"

The opposite is the richest man in Asia, Wang Juntao dare not neglect.Moreover, Lu Yiming's speed is miraculous, and he often speaks surprisingly, which makes people suddenly enlightened.Now that Wang Juntao is in distress, it is a great blessing to be able to communicate with Lu Yiming.

For Lu Yiming's visit, the whole company attached great importance to it. After a few minutes, everyone knew it. Many people spontaneously ran outside the company to wait - not to welcome Lu Yiming, but just to have a look at Lu Yiming in reality.After all, he is the richest man in Asia. There are not many opportunities for ordinary people to see such a big man.

Half an hour later, an Audi car appeared at the door of the company, and Lu Yiming got out of the car under the protection of Zhao Tiezhu.

Wang Juntao, who was in the team, hurried up to greet him, and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Lu, I have admired your name for a long time! I came to our company today, and our company is full of glory."

Lu Yiming waved his hand and said with a smile: "President Wang, you are being polite. I came here today just to chat with President Wang. There is no other purpose."

"I have long planned to visit Mr. Lu, but unfortunately Mr. Lu has a lot of opportunities. I am afraid that Mr. Lu's work will be delayed. Please."

"Please."

When he arrived at the living room, Wang Juntao said with emotion: "Although I have heard many deeds of Mr. Lu, but at first glance, Mr. Lu's youth still makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Mr. Lu is young and promising."

There are mainly two images of Lu Yiming in the circle: young and frivolous, and a big dog.

Recently, on many Internet forums, you can see him slandering people every day. This kind of character makes everyone dumbfounded.

Originally, everyone thought that, as the richest man in Asia, he should be mature, prudent and resourceful, and he would go mad at people on forums, which is not something that the richest man in Asia can do.But when they thought that Lu Yiming was only a young man in his early 20s, everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with Lu Yiming's actions.

After Lu Yiming sat down, he said bluntly, "Mr. Wang, I came here today to invite you to join my company."

Wang Juntao was stunned for a moment, because he really didn't expect that Lu Yiming came here for this matter.Then he said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I have my own company, how can I work for others."

Hearing Wang Juntao's words, Lu Yiming showed a rather disdainful look on his face, and said slowly: "You only have [-]% of the shares in your hands. Is this still your company? Of course, less shares and more voting rights are also counted. , but do you have decision-making power? How many people in the company are willing to listen to you?"

These few questions, the violent blows of swords and knives, directly pierced Wang Juntao's heart and made him feel cold.

The smile on Wang Juntao's face disappeared, and his expression gradually became serious.

Although what Lu Yiming said was too blunt, every word was true.

This made him full of helplessness in anger.

Lu Yiming continued: "The reason why I came to you today is because I have comprehensively reviewed the problems you have encountered in starting your business in recent years, and I think you should not waste your precious time in such a smoky environment. There is an old saying , called "mud cannot support a wall", I think you should have a deep understanding of this sentence now. Don't be afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs. You give up struggling, those people in your company, you can't bring them together. moveable."

Wang Juntao was stunned, and then smiled wryly: "Mr. Lu, you are really direct when you speak."

Lu Yiming accepted Wang Juntao's evaluation of him with a calm face, and said bluntly: "I don't want to deal with those vain people. You come here. You don't need to pay a penny. I will directly give you 20.00% of the shares, and I will not interfere. For your operation and management, you can at most make some suggestions.”

Wang Juntao had heard about Lu Yiming's generosity before, but when he heard Lu Yiming offer such a condition with his own eyes, he still felt very dreamlike: "Mr. Lu, is what you said true?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Pearls are not so real."

Wang Juntao was moved by the conditions offered by Lu Yiming.

8848 was in constant turmoil, the management and investors had their own ulterior motives, and he, the founder, was completely marginalized.

The big ship was about to sink, and it was impossible for him to be buried with him, so he could only choose to retreat in advance.

In the last life, after he resigned from MY8848, he directly joined Xidan E-Commerce Company.

A year later, he entered the e-commerce field again and founded 6688. Unfortunately, he missed the opportunity and never regained its former glory. In the end, 6688 became a platform specializing in selling agricultural products.

Although he was very excited about the conditions offered by Lu Yiming, Wang Juntao was also afraid of the company's infighting, and asked again seriously: "Mr. Lu, do you really not interfere with the company's daily operations?"

Lu Yiming curled his lips and said, "I have so many companies in my hands. If I have to participate in the daily operation of each company, ten clones are not enough."

Although this statement is very Versailles, it is true for Lu Yiming.

Reminiscing about Lu Yiming's brilliant achievements before, Wang Juntao just thought for a moment and said, "Okay, deal."

In this way, the father of Xiaguo E-commerce officially joined Luming Mall!
When they returned to Baiyun City, Zhang Xiaolong and the others were all stunned by Lu Yiming's coquettish operation--digging someone else's founder?
A month later, Luming Mall was officially listed, and the website was launched simultaneously.With the financial support of Lu Yiming, all kinds of advertisements were spread all over the world. Slogans such as subverting the traditional shopping experience, saying that only one phone call is needed, and the goods are delivered to the home, have become familiar to more and more people, and their influence has spread rapidly across the country. Let countless colleagues who also have the same layout of e-commerce look sideways.

Among them, the one with the greatest pressure was naturally Ma Jack.

Because Lu Ming's patron's father is Lu Yiming, and Ali's patron's father is also Lu Yiming.

Although they are both sons, there are differences.

Compared with Luming Mall's own son, Ali is more like an adopted one.

Jack Ma, who was already wondering what path to take in the future, was stunned by Lu Yiming's surprise attack on the spot.

He directly bought a plane ticket from Hangzhou and flew to Zhonghai, where he found Lu Yiming.

"Mr. Lu!"

Seeing Jack Ma appearing in person, Lu Yiming got up and said enthusiastically, "Oh, Mr. Ma is here. This is a rare visitor. What kind of wind brought you to Zhonghai?"

Jack Ma said depressingly: "Boss Lu is really fast. He created the Luming Mall without making a sound, and the movement is not small."

Lu Yiming immediately understood the purpose of Jack Ma's visit this time, but the smile on his face remained undiminished: "Oh, business is a matter of speed. If you think about it, you have to do it, otherwise it will be bad if someone else takes the lead .”

Jack Ma's already ugly face became even uglier after hearing this, as if Xin Jifei had been poisoned by eating too much condiment.

"President Lu, are you dissatisfied with me?"

Lu Yiming patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely: "What are you talking about? I still have full confidence in Ali!"

Jack Ma felt that Lu Yiming's words were not even credible with punctuation marks.He said directly: "Since there is Ali, then you still have a Luming Mall?"

Lu Yiming's attitude became more and more sincere: "Friendship is friendship, business is business. I invested in the establishment of Luming Mall because I am optimistic about the future of e-commerce, not deliberately targeting Ali."

Having said that, Ma Jieke was still flustered, and at the same time he also had opinions in his heart.

After all, the e-commerce cake is so big, and one more person to share it means that there will be a lot less in your own bowl.

Lu Yiming knew that Jack Ma must have objections, but he still had to eat the meat that should be eaten, and he couldn't give up such a big benefit just because of a little friendship.

That's too uncapitalistic.

Lu Yiming confidently said to Jack Ma: "The domestic economy continues to develop. In a few years, computers will enter thousands of households. By then, the cake in the field of e-commerce will become very large. It is impossible for Ali to dominate the entire market. It is absolutely impossible for the country to allow such a thing to happen. Since this is the case, it is better for the two of us to carve up the market share together. Even if there is a fight, at least it can be resolved through private negotiations."

Jack Ma kept his head silent, but he was weighing the gains and losses in his heart.

Lu Yiming then said: "The current Xiaguo e-commerce is still in a state of separatism. What we have to do is to join forces to fight against the enemy. As for competition, Luming Mall is targeting Amazon, while your Taobao is targeting Ebay, our development models are different, there is no need to divide your life and death now."

Having said so much, Jack Ma has no choice but to accept the reality.
