Chapter 737(1/2)
Author: Linjiangxian
Facing the domineering Meg Whitman, eBay executives all remained silent.
At the beginning, when eBay was trying to paint the pie for eBay, it said that killing Taobao would be as simple as an elephant stepping on an ant. But now, the ants are living well and growing, and the elephant is a little bit unable to withstand it.
.
When Meg Whitman saw that everyone was silent, she became even more angry. She immediately shouted and asked: "Are you all mute? Is the company paying such a high salary to invite you to sit here and be a wax statue?"
?”
When Yi Bei came with a lofty attitude and swept over everything, his purpose was to copy what they had done over there, intending to give a small shock to Xia State's capitalism, which had just opened a house for more than 20 years. Therefore, Yi Bei
eBay's acquisition price of eBay is not low, and the treatment for all employees is in line with eBay's, which has improved several levels.
Seeing that Whitman was about to order his troops, Shao Yibo had no choice but to step forward: "Dear Ms. Whitman, it's not that we have nothing to do, but we have made suggestions before, but Yibei did not adopt them.
.If this is the case, then why do we still give our suggestions? Is it fun to say it?"
After hearing what Shao Yibo said, Whitman frowned even deeper and asked in a deep voice: "Is this the free thing you said?"
Shao Yibo nodded and said: "Now Taobao has attracted many small and medium-sized merchants to open stores there, which is different from our strategy of focusing on second-hand auctions, but this can actually be adjusted. After all, if Taobao can find sellers, so can we. The problem is
Taobao is free, but we charge fees, and sellers are simply unwilling to come."
In fact, Shao Yibo's mind is also very flexible and he is very familiar with Xia Guo's market. Therefore, after Taobao launched his move, he immediately learned all the "new moves" Lu Yiming made.
If you keep doing it, you still have to fight.
The only problem is that eBay headquarters refuses to give it away.
After all, sellers who run small businesses are very smart. Taobao does not charge handling fees, while eBay does, and there is no obvious advantage in terms of traffic. Anyone with a sound mind knows how to choose.
Meg Whitman was also helpless. After all, the free strategy would affect the whole body, and the headquarters would not agree to it in any case.
But she couldn't just watch her defeat at the hands of Lu Yiming again. This time she came to Xia Kingdom to personally take charge of the overall situation, which was equivalent to her being the CEO of eBay.
If everything fails, then eBay will not only lose the Xiaguo market, but even its development momentum will be cut off.
After thinking carefully, Meg Whitman told Shao Yibo: "It's impossible to be free, but I can give you greater authority and higher discounts to attract people."
Shao Yibo has been immersed in this industry for many years, and now Taobao has become a successful example, so when Shao Yibo heard Whitman's words, he immediately understood that although eBay cannot be free, Whitman means that it can be
Compare Taobao with burning money, and do Taobao's trick of losing money and making money.
No matter what, eBay is always richer than Taobao, right?
At Alibaba headquarters, seeing that all the data were rising, eBay had stopped and there had been no movement for a long time. Lu Yiming said to Jack Ma: "The situation is temporarily stable. I don't know what other moves eBay will make."
, but as long as we don’t make mistakes, it won’t be a big problem. Just keep an eye on yourself here, I’m going back to Baiyun City.”
Although Lu Yiming is the major shareholder of Alibaba, this is still Jack Ma's company in name. It is inappropriate for him to stay here all day to give advice. After all, there are so many companies in his hands. If every company is so hands-on, even if there is
Two hundred and forty hours is not enough
Jack Ma said: "Mr. Lu, thanks to your help during this period, Taobao can open up so quickly."
Lu Yiming smiled and said: "This is all thanks to everyone."
Back in Baiyun City, Lu Yiming's pace of life has slowed down. He sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day, then goes out to have morning tea and then go for a walk, which is very leisurely.
On this day, passing by the entrance of No. 1 Middle School, Lu Yiming walked in. Hearing the sound of reading loudly from inside, he felt quite emotional.
Being reborn means that he has stayed in this school for eight years and has witnessed his transformation and growth. This feeling can be said to be very deep.
Just as he was wandering around the playground, Lu Yiming suddenly heard someone calling his name. He turned around and found that it was Lin Yuzhen.
At this time, Lin Yuzhen was holding a cute child in her arms.
Lu Yiming was very surprised: "I haven't seen you for a while, and you already gave birth to a baby?"
When Lin Yuzhen heard this, she immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Lu Yiming, what's in your eyes? This is my uncle's son, he's over a year old!"
Lu Yiming couldn't help but scratch his head.
Zhu Hanwen’s son?
Don’t you remember that he gave birth to a daughter? Did you remember it wrong?
Maybe, after all, Zhu Hanwen had already graduated from high school when he gave birth to his child, and family changes at that time left him no time to take care of such trivial matters.
Later, Lin Yuzhen said angrily: "What are you doing here?"
Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and joked: "Of course I'm here to relive the wonderful school days. What? Can't I come?"
Although I haven't been here for a few years, the changes in No. 1 Middle School are not big. The staff dormitories are still the same, the playground is still the same, and there is no such thing as renovating the school as soon as you graduate, which makes people have myocardial infarction.
.
Lin Yuzhen curled her lips and said, "Love will come or not."
Lu Yiming teased the child in Lin Yuzhen's arms and asked, "How come you have time to go back to Baiyun City? What have you been doing recently?"
Lin Yuzhen said: "I am filming a costume drama in the film and television city, but it was completed yesterday and I accepted another clothing advertisement. It is a local brand called Beauty, which was introduced to me by my aunt."
After Lin Yuzhen's narration, Lu Yiming learned that the founder of Liren, a women's clothing brand, was an old classmate of Sun Jiatong, and the two had a very good relationship. Liren used to mainly do foreign trade orders, but now she has accumulated some technology and channels, so she wanted to
In order to run his own clothing brand, he relied on Sun Jiatong's connections to find Lin Yuzhen as an advertising spokesperson.
Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Hey, this is a constant announcement? He is a big star that everyone loves."
Lin Yuzhen was a little proud and said, "Of course, I am a naturally beautiful girl."
While the two were talking, Sun Jiatong came over with a vegetable basket. When he saw Lu Yiming, he immediately said enthusiastically: "Hey, Lu Yiming, are you free to come to the school today? You ate at my place at noon. You, Teacher Zhu,
I always talk about you and say you are a busy man, and I haven’t seen you in person for several years.”
Lu Yiming followed suit and said, "Okay, I haven't tasted Teacher Sun's craftsmanship for a long time."
Lin Yuzhen couldn't help but rolled her eyes and complained: "My aunt is being polite and you still take her seriously. How shameless."
Sun Jiatong said quickly: "Hey, Xiao Zhenzhen, why do you say that? Now that Lu Yiming has his own career, it's not easy to meet him. Of course he has to stay here for dinner today. Then you guys chat first, and I'll go buy some.
Here you go. Xiao Zhenzhen, you should have called me just now and told me that Lu Yiming was here and I would buy some more food."
Lin Yuzhen said: "He is not a cow, how much can he eat?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Teacher Sun, please don't be so polite. Just eat whatever you want, otherwise I won't dare to come now."
"Okay, you guys chat first, I'll go up to cook, and you'll come up to eat in a moment."
Sun Jiatong went upstairs with the vegetable basket and said to Zhu Hanwen who was writing lesson plans in the living room: "Lu Yiming is here."
Zhu Hanwen suddenly raised his head, glanced around, and asked, "Where is it?"
Sun Jiatong said: "I'm having fun down there with little Zhenzhen."
"oh."
Sun Jiatong put on an apron and started working in the kitchen.
"We just chatted for a while. Why do I feel that Xiao Zhenzhen is resentful towards this Lu Yiming? It was like a quarrel."
Zhu Hanwen said: "When did the two of them not talk like they were bickering?"
Sun Jiatong thought for a moment and said, "Yes, these two are happy enemies. Tell me, what do they think? Xiao Zhenzhen really likes Lu Yiming?"
"How do I know? I hope she doesn't like it, then nothing will happen. Alas, I really don't understand the world of young people. It's hard for us to talk about this kind of thing. If it's all our wishful thinking here
, Groundless speculation, how embarrassing that would be.”
"Too."
Half an hour later, Sun Jiatong shouted from the balcony: "It's time to eat!"
Lu Yiming and Lin Yuzhen came up with their children. As soon as they entered the door, Lu Yiming took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good. It's still a familiar smell. My mouth is watering."
Hearing this, Sun Jiatong felt very touched and said, "I didn't know you were coming before. There are no dishes, so you can just eat some."
Lu Yiming said: "Where, there are so many, thank you for your hard work, Teacher Sun"
Zhu Hanwen couldn't wait to start picking up the vegetables: "Okay, let's eat quickly."
Sun Jiatong asked: "Would you like some wine?"
Lu Yiming waved his hand and said, "No need, I never drink."
Zhu Hanwen said: "Why don't you drink when you go out to socialize with a bottle of phone?"
Lin Yuzhen complained: "Uncle, now he only has other people to socialize with him, how can anyone dare to let him socialize?"
After saying that, he specially glared at Lu Yiming, his eyes were fierce and cute at the same time.
Lu Yiming laughed: "That's right. Drinking and socializing with customers are usually handled by dedicated employees. I don't need to do it myself."
Sun Jiatong smiled and said: "Oh, so that's it. But again, you are the richest man in Asia, so there shouldn't be many people you can socialize with."
Later, Sun Jiatong said: "The Taobao you run is really powerful. The things in it are complete and affordable. I basically buy everything on Taobao now. It's just this discount coupon that I don't care about. Every day I buy it
You have to squat down on time to grab it."
Lu Yiming quickly said: "How can I let you grab it? I will ask the technical department to send you 10,000 coupons in a moment."
Lin Yuzhen raised her hand, pouted and said, "I want it too!"
