Chapter 728 Teaching Jack Ma to Make Money
Seeing Jack stand on the spot in a daze, Lu Yiming quickly said: "You don't have to be too happy, this matter about me..."

Jack Ma almost cried: "Mr. Lu, look at my expression, do you seem happy?"

The current market value of eBay is nearly 300 billion US dollars, and Ali's current valuation is not as high as others!

For Ma Jack, this battle can no longer be said to be an adult beating a child. The two sides are simply the difference between an elephant and an ant.

Lu Yiming laughed loudly, and jokingly said, "What? Are you going to raise your hands and surrender?"

Jack Ma said: "That's not possible. I was just thinking, if it's like what you said, how can I survive and defeat them?"

Now, eBay has already caused him a lot of trouble. If a more powerful eBay comes, even if he doesn't raise his hands and surrender, he will probably only be able to survive.

Jack Ma is not a person who gives up lightly. He can lose and die, but he cannot surrender.

As the major shareholder of Ali, Lu Yiming certainly does not want Ali to die.He said: "I have carefully studied eBay's trading model, and found that they have a fatal flaw, and that flaw is the biggest weakness of eBay, and also our only chance to win."

Jack Ma hurriedly asked, "What defect?"

Lu Yiming said with a righteous face: "This product actually collects money from sellers who open stores on their platform!"

"what?"

Jack Ma thought he had heard wrong.

"Is this considered a defect?"

At this time, he has not yet completed his own Longchang Enlightenment, and he does not know the terrible tactic of "free".

Lu Yiming said with righteous indignation: "Of course forget it! I came to your platform to open a store to give you face, think highly of you, and bring you traffic. If you don't give me money, it's fine, but you still ask me to charge you! You say it's reasonable ?"

Jack Ma: "..."

He took a deep breath, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"so?"

"So I think that as an e-commerce platform, we should not charge transaction fees, whether it is a buyer or a seller. This will definitely be very attractive to sellers, and if the seller earns more, the goods will naturally It becomes cheaper, which attracts more buyers."

Jack Ma finally knew what was wrong.He spread his hands and said, "Then how do we make money?"

Neither buyers nor sellers are charged, so whose money does the website charge?

The construction, operation, and maintenance of the platform all require investment.

Lu Yiming said: "You can make profits by relying on value-added services such as 'store promotion' and 'credit card payment'. Compared with directly charging transaction fees, this method is obviously more recognized by merchants. Credit card services have service fees. Well, basically one in a thousand, don’t think it’s small, as long as the scale is up, this is a very objective number. There are so many display windows on the homepage of the website, right? This is the same as the display screens of large shopping malls. Is it reasonable to pay to display the products in your store?"

The more Lu Yiming talked, the brighter Jack Ma's eyes became.After Lu Yiming finished speaking, he couldn't help applauding: "Wonderful, it's really wonderful! If you open a store for free, it will definitely attract many, many people to come to us to open a store, which greatly enriches the products on our website. Type and quantity. If the seller opens a store with zero cost, the price of the product can also be lowered. There are more stores opened, and the prices of things are cheaper, and there will be more people shopping on Taobao!"

Lu Yiming nodded slightly, and said: "That's the reason. As long as there are more people visiting Taobao, more people will come to Taobao to open stores, and the competition will be fiercer. They will fight price wars among themselves to keep the price down. The price will come down." In order to benefit consumers, more people shop on Taobao. As long as all online shoppers are drawn to Taobao, won’t eBay die immediately?”

Jack Ma laughed loudly: "That's right, that's the truth!"

Seeing that Jack Ma finally opened the door of evil, the corners of Lu Yiming's mouth rose slightly.Said: "It is free for individual sellers to open a store. Can we charge for brand merchants? For example, we can set up a signboard for them, label it as an official presence, and open up a little more operating authority, so they don't have to obediently pay?"

Jack Ma worried: "If the brand merchants settle in, won't the customers of the individual sellers who open the store be pulled away by the brand merchants?"

For the same product, one is sold in the canteen and the other is sold in the specialty store next door, so where will the buyer choose?It must be more secure in a specialty store.

Lu Yiming said lightly: "What does this have to do with you? They will figure out their own way. You can give individual sellers a year, and brand stores will open a year later. Now is the best time for Taobao, give them a year If they can't make it out of the encirclement in time, they can't blame anyone for being eliminated."

"hiss……"

Jack Ma took a deep breath.

He felt Lu Yiming's fear again.

This Lu Yiming has played the catfish effect perfectly!
Later, Lu Yiming said: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to talk to you about, which is the payment software. You know, I got Alipay before. I want to cooperate with Ali to make Alipay and Taobao can communicate with each other."

At this time, Ma Jack has realized the importance of payment software.

However, Lu Yiming himself is the major shareholder of Ali, and under the operation of Lu Yiming, Alipay has a high reputation and is accepted by many Internet users, which makes him completely unable to refuse.

After thinking about it for a while, Ma Jieke finally offered his conditions: "It's okay to let Alipay be embedded in Taobao, but I don't accept monopoly, that is, we can't force users to use Alipay as the only payment method."

Obviously, Ma Jieke has not given up on the payment software, he still wants to wrestle with Lu Yiming.

"Of course, how could I force users? Do you think I am that kind of person?"

Regarding fair competition, Lu Yiming is not hypocritical at all.

After all, with the successful experience of developing and operating PayPal, it is extremely difficult for Ma Jack to make a breakthrough in payment software.

Under his operation, Alipay can now completely open up e-commerce, games, social networking and other fields, realizing "one-key intercommunication" and "one-key payment" in the true sense, so that his users no longer need to download a A lot of payment software, register four or five accounts.

In the previous life, this was something that no Internet giant had ever done, but now Lu Yiming has easily done it.

After all, Lu Yiming at this time had already acquired QQ, invested in Ali, and used various financial means through Future Capital to allow his influence to penetrate into every corner of the Internet.

The next day, Ma Jack announced the "strong alliance" between Taobao and Alipay.

With the entry of Alipay users, the number of registered users of Taobao has also achieved an astonishing increase. This incident finally made Ma Jieke feel a lot better.

The services provided by Alipay are still very attractive to Taobao buyers. After all, they have been worried about what to do if they can’t get the goods after paying.

Now there is no need to worry. According to the solution provided by Alipay, the buyer transfers the payment to the third-party account provided by Taobao, and pays the seller after confirming receipt of the goods.

Both parties are very satisfied!

After the cooperation signing ceremony, a reporter asked: "Mr. Lu, you traveled to North America in July. After you sold PayPal to eBay, your assets increased by another 100 billion. Is this true?"

Jack Ma next to him heard the acid water and ran away.I'm so envious. 100 billion, when can I earn so much money?
Lu Yiming corrected modestly: "Where is the 100 billion? It's not that exaggerated, it's just rumors. In fact, it's only more than [-] billion. It's just the money to buy a few private jets. It's nothing."

"Mr. Lu, it is said that you only invested 3000 million US dollars at the beginning. In less than two years, the value of this asset has increased by dozens of times. How do you feel about this?"

"For me, this result is just so-so. I have nothing to be proud of, so I have no feelings at all."

reporter:"……"

Jack Ma: "..."

As soon as the report came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

Zhong Hai, Zhao Bin and Luo Yongjie looked at the news published in the newspaper, and they were out of breath.

Seeing Lu Yiming, an "enemy" make money, is even more uncomfortable than losing money.

Zhao Bin said very displeasedly: "Why is it so easy for this man surnamed Lu to make money? Every now and then he puts billions and tens of billions in his pocket. Even if his family runs a banknote printing factory, it's not so fast."

The Zhao family is one of the top rich families, making money is actually not difficult for Zhao Bin.

After all, as long as he likes the business, few people dare to compete with him, earning three to five billion a year, that's easy.

In the past, Zhao Bin felt that this was success, and it would be very cool to do so.

Lovely, I'm afraid of comparison.

Compared with Lu Yiming's income of billions or tens of billions, his annual profit of three to five billion yuan suddenly doesn't look good.

Luo Yongjie thought about it for a while, and then he suddenly realized, and took the opportunity to suggest: "Don't say anything else, Lu Yiming has a really good investment vision, so we just follow him to invest, and we will invest in whatever he likes! I heard that he recently I've taken a fancy to the Delong family, but I haven't reached an agreement with the Tang brothers on the price, I think we can step in and take a stake in the Delong Group first."

Zhao Bin's eyes also brightened: "Yes, since he is so good at making money, we can invest in whatever he is optimistic about. It is always okay for him to make big money and we make small money? It is not a problem for him to make 100 billion and we make billions. But, are you sure it's safe to do so?"

Luo Yongjie said without hesitation: "It is absolutely reliable. Tang Wanli is someone who can directly participate in the discussion of local economic decision-making. How many people in the business world are his opponents? What's more, the development of the Delong family in these years That is also obvious to all, and it is actually too late for us to get on the bus now."

Zhao Bin was a little tempted, but after all, investing in the Delong series required a lot of money, so he didn't dare to make a decision lightly for a while.

Seeing that Zhao Bin was still looking forward and backward, Luo Yongjie urged again: "This opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come again. If Tang Wanli makes concessions to Lu Yiming, or Lu Yiming agrees to Tang Wanli's conditions, then we have nothing to do. "

Hearing what Luo Yongjie said, Zhao Bin gritted his teeth and said, "Since it is a company that even Lu Yiming is optimistic about, then I will go all out."

On the other hand, Lu Yiming, who walked around Zhonghai and inspected the progress of various companies, was about to go home, but suddenly received a call, inviting him to a high-end business dinner, saying that there were many wealthy people in Zhonghai and investors.

Originally, Lu Yiming didn't like this kind of dinner, but the reason why he had to attend was that this call was from Wang Hongsheng.

Although he has already graduated from Furi University with a bachelor's degree, after all, he has cooperated with Furi University a lot, and the old principal still has to give him face.

Lu Yiming immediately called Ni Cong and Wang Dazhuang to eat and drink together. They are also dressed in neat suits and famous brands, and they look like successful people.

As soon as Ni Cong saw Lu Yiming at the entrance of the hotel, he smiled and said, "I read in the newspaper that you made more than 80 billion yuan when you went to the United States? Is this true?"

Lu Yiming said very embarrassingly: "No way, Americans are so hospitable and hospitable. I just invested tens of millions of dollars. They have to spend almost one billion dollars to buy them. If I say I won't sell them, they won't agree. I What can I do? I am innocent too."

Wang Dazhuang looked at Ni Cong: "Listen, is this a human language?"

Ni Cong said, "How about we beat this guy up?"

Lu Yiming hurriedly said, "Stop, a gentleman uses his mouth and doesn't move his hands."

I haven't seen each other for a few months, and the three of them are still talking and laughing as they did when they lived in the same dormitory in the past.

After chatting for a while, Ni Cong complained to Lu Yiming, saying: "The web ordering model you asked us to create earlier, many users have reported that it is not easy to use."

Lu Yiming frowned slightly, and asked in doubt, "How could it be?"

These are all directly copied and built according to the successful products of later generations. How can it not be easy to use?

Ni Cong explained: "Users think it is very convenient to order food by phone, but it is a little troublesome to find change. If you order food online, you have to place an order on the computer, pay the bill, and then confirm receipt. There are too many steps, and It has to go through the computer, which is too troublesome.”

Lu Yiming immediately understood that before the advent of smartphones, it might be a bit unrealistic to pay for food delivery online.

Sure enough, one step ahead is technology, two steps ahead is science fiction, and three steps ahead is useless.

Lu Yiming said: "It's okay, you mainly help me promote Alipay, and now try to cultivate users' usage habits."

Cultivate user habits at this time, and wait until the era of smart phones arrives, when Alipay can flex its muscles in the field of food delivery.

As the few people chatted, big shots arrived one after another.CITIC Pacific, who has made great achievements in the fields of aviation, infrastructure, real estate and telecommunications, and Rong Zijian, the current head of the Rong family, are all here.

There are also Xu Rongmao of the Shimao Group that owns a large amount of land and real estate in Zhonghai, Beijing, and Fuzhou; Ye Lipei, CEO of Sheng Group.

These few are all top ten business tycoons on the list, and together with Lu Yiming, the young richest man in Asia, they can be considered as the "Qiwuhai" of Xia Guo's business circle.

Brothers Liu Yonghao and Liu Yongxing had met Lu Yiming before, and they were considered acquaintances, so they were the first to come forward to say hello.

Then the other five rich men also pretended to meet by chance one after another, exchanged business cards with Lu Yiming, and greeted them with smiles.

Ni Cong and Wang Dazhuang watched Lu Yiming talking and laughing happily with these rich men, and they were also filled with emotion.After all these people had greeted Lu Yiming, Wang Dazhuang said, "When will we be able to get to your level? Rich people come here and want to make friends with you. It's too plausible."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "When you develop Zhenxiang Fast Food, there will be many business leaders who want to take the initiative to make friends with you."

Food is the paramount necessity of the people. As long as carbon-based organisms still need to eat, there will be demand in the catering industry.As for the track of fast food chains, the ultimate energy should not be underestimated.

At this time, two brothers Tang Wanli and Tang Wanxin came.

Although the assets of the two of them are not ranked high on the Top [-] Rich List, they are both directly ranked outside the [-]th place.

Ke Delong is in the business world of Xia Kingdom, but he is well-known and in the limelight.

So as soon as the two appeared on the stage, they immediately received a lot of attention. Many investors were very interested in them, and either actively or passively chatted with the Tang family brothers.

After chatting for a while, Tang Wanli saw Lu Yiming and brought Tang Wanxin over.

"Mr. Lu."

Lu Yiming nodded slightly, and responded, "Mr. Tang."

Tang Wanli suddenly raised his voice, and said loudly, "Mr. Lu, how did you think about investing in Delong when you said it earlier?"

When the people around heard Tang Wanli's words, they immediately turned their attention.

The richest man in Lu is considering investing in the Delong series?
This is important news, so hurry up and write it down!

In the investment circle, Lu Yiming is like a mythical figure. Since his debut, he has basically never missed an investment. Recently, he went to the beautiful country to make a big fortune.Many people almost wanted to replace the God of Wealth statue in their home with a photo of Lu Yiming.

The God of Wealth is all comforting, Lu Yiming is really making money.If you don't make a sound, billions of dollars will be recorded in the account. Who can resist this?
Lu Yiming couldn't help scratching his head.

He hadn't heard of this Delong before, and he did a little research on the Internet after he went back, but then he put this matter behind him. Now that Tang Wanli mentioned it, he remembered that he had indeed said to consider it. if.

Seeing Lu Yiming's silence, Tang Wanli was slightly taken aback, then lowered his voice, and asked, "Boss Lu, you won't forget about this matter, will you?"
