Top of the big era

This Shi Jinglin is indeed a strong woman. She has provided Zhou Buqi with many ideas for cross-border e-commerce, which can be applied to Ziweiyun.

Generally speaking, teams engaged in cross-border e-commerce are all laymen.

There are professional teams in China, and some people who specialize in the Internet have opened a cross-border e-commerce company. They order and purchase domestically and sell to the world through the Internet platform.

It's different overseas.

There are not that many Internet talents, and the e-commerce industry is not that developed.

For example, the city of Madrid, although it is also a European metropolis, is not really a technological city. There are some Internet talents. When they start a business, they don’t need to make C-side products. How good is it to make B-side products? The risk is smaller, the harvest is guaranteed during droughts and floods, and it is easy and comfortable.

Just like the official websites of the Madrid teams Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, they are outsourced to local Internet companies that engage in related work. The profits and losses of the official website are borne by the club. These Internet companies are paid to provide services and help with operations.

Those who provide such official website services are generally small companies, and they are all regional companies.

For example, Manchester United's official website business is undertaken by a Manchester Internet company, and Real Madrid's official website business is operated by a Madrid Internet company.

The strength is very weak.

But the business is stable, the income is stable, the work is easy, and the pressure of competition is low.

After Zhou Buqi acquired Manchester United, he quickly saw this phenomenon.

I think these Europeans are really indolent!

Americans don't understand football, and Internet giants have not penetrated deeply into the field of football. There are huge business opportunities and profits, and there are no strong competitors, so they would rather be respectful than obey.

He founded the company Ziweixing Digital Media.

In less than two months, it will be listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Ziweixing Digital Media developed by seizing such a widespread phenomenon in the European Internet industry, and has contracted the official website business of most European teams with lower prices and better services.

At least dozens of local Internet companies that were enjoying profits and leisurely went out of business because of this.

Cross-border e-commerce is also in a similar situation.

Companies in Europe that want to do cross-border e-commerce business are often small and medium-sized enterprises, producers of goods, in order to expand the sales of their products.

But they are laymen and do not know how to operate cross-border e-commerce.

At this time, some local people who understand the Internet will open a similar company to serve these small and medium-sized enterprises. These service companies are also small in scale and regional. I don’t have any ambitions, I just want to have a stable business, a stable income, and enjoy life happily.

How can such a good thing happen?

Zi Weiyun wants to take care of these things!

The cross-border e-commerce industry must be promoted in an all-round way. While Amazon is still hesitant and unclear about the direction, it must establish a complete system for cross-border e-commerce services and become the largest cross-border e-commerce service provider. Business service provider!

Jiang Fan has already come to work in the United States. He has joined the cloud computing business group of Ziweixing International as the vice president. His first task is to start up the cross-border e-commerce business.

Zhou Buqi talked to him the next day.

Speak your thoughts.

If you want to provide cross-border e-commerce services well, you have to go through a full set of processes, from website templates, storage space, industry data and application software, to payment tools, secure payment services, traffic purchase, advertising placement, and Product selection strategies, full tracking of orders, etc., it’s best to do them all.

Jiang Fan also has ideas. He said that he has found Dimi Kohler, the vice president of the group, and will go to eBay with him to discuss cooperation. He hopes to connect customer stores that use Ziweiyun's cross-border e-commerce cloud services. On the eBay platform.

Zhou Buqi quickly stopped, "This matter is not urgent!"

Jiang Fan was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Ebay's e-commerce business development has encountered a bottleneck and is in trouble. Now at this time, we have more initiative."

Jiang Fan responded quickly, "Is there any other business?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, we need to separate PayPal from eBay."

Jiang Fan said: "I heard that this matter has been going on for several years, and eBay disagrees."

"It's okay to disagree. eBay's main business continues to be sluggish and its stock price has been falling for a long time, which has seriously reduced the value of PayPal and damaged the interests of PayPal's small shareholders."

"this……"

Jiang Fan didn't quite believe it.

eBay is the controlling shareholder of PayPal and has absolute say.

It can be said that the parent company eBay has the final say on what PayPal wants to do and what it can do.

Jiang Fan said very doubtfully: "Some small shareholders who have no say in making trouble can affect eBay's decision?"

Zhou Buqi coughed and said, "Ziweixing International invested in PayPal last year and is now a minority shareholder."

Jiang Fan was a little embarrassed, but did he think that the big boss could handle this matter? He said worriedly: "Using cross-border e-commerce cooperation to force eBay to make concessions and agree to spin off PayPal? This may be difficult. Bar?"

Normally, this kind of thing is indeed impossible.

Some small shareholders without a say have called for a spin-off, and it is almost impossible to succeed. But this time is different. Behind Zhou Buqi there is a well-known expert in safeguarding the interests of small shareholders helping.

"I'm going to meet Carl Icahn in a while, will you come with me?"

Zhou Buqi wanted to take him out to see the world.

I called him from China to the United States, and I have to cultivate him more.

Jiang Fan was slightly startled, "Carl Icahn? I know him, he is very good at breaking up companies..."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "He is also a minority shareholder of PayPal."

Jiang Fan said in a daze: "That's right, he seems to have a bad reputation."

Zhou Buqi said: "Ebay is a listed company, and its development is so poor. It also damages the interests of many small shareholders by tying up PayPal, and its reputation is even worse. It may even lead to lawsuits. Carl Icahn is very good at doing this kind of thing. , they came to me last year... If this kind of thing breaks out, eBay's stock price will definitely plummet."

Jiang Fan understood and couldn't laugh or cry, "A threat?!"

"It means a threat." Zhou Buqi nodded, "In this kind of capital society, the stock price is the biggest say of listed companies. Especially now that eBay's stock price has been depressed for a long time, this is the biggest leverage of eBay's board of directors."

Jiang Fan felt very excited.

eBay is a technology giant with a market value of US$40 billion. How can it be easily manipulated?

Not only that, PayPal is currently the largest Internet payment tool in the world.

Once Boss Zhou promotes the spin-off of PayPal, it means that he will have huge authority and voice on PayPal's board of directors.

Then Ziweiyun can launch a more convenient solution when dealing with cross-border e-commerce payment.

Immediately, Jiang Fan had another bold idea and suggested: "E-commerce cannot do without the support of elastic cloud, especially during some shopping festivals, the traffic will surge. It is impossible for eBay to find Amazon cloud services. If If possible, eBay's e-commerce business should also be brought to Ziweiyun. If Ziweiyun can serve eBay well, its visibility and credibility in overseas markets will also increase, and there will be more E-commerce websites will choose to cooperate with Ziweiyun. They should establish long-term and extensive strategic cooperation with eBay."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Okay, let's see if you can convince Yi Bei."
