With Ali's small size, eBay can win it without any effort.

In the face of absolute strength, any struggle is in vain.

Who wouldn't be afraid if a behemoth like Yibei were to enter the Xia Kingdom and start commercial competition with them?

Jack Ma, who had just returned to Hangzhou from Zhonghai, felt a little numb because what Lu Yiming had just said to him had now become a prophecy.

eBay is so powerful that eBay is powerless to resist, so how can Alibaba resist this wave?

Although Lu Yiming taught Jack Ma how Ali will make money in the future, he did not say what Ali would do to survive after eBay arrived.

To be honest, Jack Ma is in a panic right now, feeling that this time he will be completely wiped out and become a victim of eBay's domination of the world.

As a last resort, Jackma contacted Lu Yiming again.

"Mr. Lu, the female boss of eBay has come to Xia Country in person!"

After receiving the call from Jack Ma, Lu Yiming was not nervous at all. He smiled and said, "Yes, and the caller is not good. Have you ever been so scared that you wet your pants?"

Although he was really panicking inside, Jack Ma still pretended to be calm and said: "Whether you lose or win, you have to fight to know."

Lu Yiming laughed and said: "As expected of Lao Ma, he is indeed very ambitious."

Later, Lu Yiming continued: "Anyway, I am also the major shareholder of Alibaba now. How to fight this battle, you just have to do it. No matter what, I will fully support you. We are all Xia people, no matter what happens

We can’t let an old witch from abroad bully us.”

After receiving Lu Yiming's full assistance, Jack Ma felt a little relieved and spoke a lot more forcefully: "Mr. Lu is right, my country with a population of one billion is still afraid of him? But Mr. Lu, now Shao Yibo

Already moved eBay to 2.2

We were sold to eBay for US$500 million. Not only that, eBay also took advantage of its capital advantages to place provocative ads on search engines and portals saying "Go to eBay and Taobao", and implemented an online ban on our ads. It was aggressive.

ah."

Lu Yiming said: "This is indeed a problem. Have you ever thought about how to prevent this move?"

This issue is something Jack Ma has been thinking about recently. Now that Lu Yiming asked him, he immediately said: "We on Taobao plan to adopt the strategy of surrounding the city from the countryside and place ads online in subways, buses, online text messages, email, and personal websites.

Let more people know about our reputation on Taobao.”

Lu Yiming said: "Although this down-to-earth approach is good, brand reputation is also very important. Well, my cousin is the major shareholder of Qiandu, and I also have a lot of shares in 3721.com, Yi

I can help Ali crack Bei's 'online blocking' tactics."

Jack Ma also knows that the dog-skin plaster advertisement is actually a Seven Injury Boxing method. Although it makes many people remember the brand and product, it actually has no real style and is not upscale, which is a bad idea. But there is no way.

Ah, the Internet is blocked, so I can only place physical ads.

However, Lu Yiming was willing to bring out the search website Qiandu and the portal website 3721 to help Ali break the situation, which made Jack Ma very happy.

Nowadays, 3721 can be said to have become the leading portal website in China. Many people go online by first opening the 3721 website in their browser, and then use the navigation interface to find the website they want to go to.

It can be said to be a pure traffic transfer station. Qiandu goes one step further. You can find out what you want by typing in the search bar.

With the blessing of these two websites, eBay's ban on Taobao is immediately ineffective.

"Mr. Lu, if that's the case, that's great! With the help of Qiandu and 3721, we Ali can take the initiative."

Lu Yiming asked doubtfully: "Take the initiative?"

Jack Ma explained to Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu, eBay has entered Xia Guo through the acquisition of eBay. Such a large international group must have plans for Xia Guo's e-commerce market, and sooner or later it will enter our Taobao territory. The enemy is strong and we are strong.

Being weak and being beaten passively is not enough. For us, offense is the best defense."

At this moment, Lu Yiming also felt deeply as he watched the "ant" in front of him polish his sword and gun and carefully prepare to attack the "elephant".

No wonder Jack Ma in history was not the earliest to start in the field of e-commerce, did not receive the most investment, and was not the largest in its initial scale, but it was the only one among all Xia Guo e-commerce companies of the same era that survived to the end, and even

It can knock even Yibei, who is at the height of his power, to the ground.

Jack Ma definitely took the lion's share of the credit in this, even if his success was a bit of luck.

But luck is elusive, and not everyone can catch it.

In this dangerous situation, Jack Ma still wanted to take the initiative and struggle to survive. It can only be said that there is no luck behind every successful person.

Faced with Jack Ma's choice, Lu Yiming did not object. As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. With Ali's current size, he is like an egg in front of a big stone, which will break with a casual touch.

In this case, it is better to take the initiative. Maybe the eBay ship will turn around in disaster and give Ali a chance to breathe.

Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I will arrange it for you, come on!"

After the phone call with Lu Yiming, Jack Ma suddenly became very confident, rushed out of the office, and announced the good news to the people in the company.

Everyone cheered when they heard that Lu Yiming agreed to help Ali break the situation.

"Great, the richest man Lu is on our side!"

"With the richest man in China taking action, it's just Yibei, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

"I really didn't expect that the richest man Lu would help us. It's great."

"Nonsense, the richest man, Lu, is our largest shareholder of Alibaba, right?"

The aura around Lu Yiming is so bright that he has almost become a mythical figure in the circle now. Not to mention that every time he takes action, there will be a big gain. Even if he doesn't take action, he always follows his words and is regarded as a golden rule.

general existence.

Soon, a war began between Taobao and eBay with great disparity in strength.

For Taobao, this battle is a battle to found a country, and if you lose, it will be over.

But in the eyes of Meg Whitman, the president of eBay, this was clearly a business failure.
