In any case, Taobao is the most famous e-commerce platform in China. Alibaba can rely on Taobao to become the top three domestic Internet companies.

If you open a Taobao store ten years later, it will basically be in vain.

But it’s different now. Most people are cautious about online stores. Buyers are afraid of being cheated and don’t dare to buy; sellers are also afraid of being cheated. What should I do if I can’t receive the money after the goods are shipped?

Therefore, this little girl made the right choice.

Taobao stores in this era were mostly small stores in Yiwu, and most of them were intermediaries. They just went to the wholesale market to take some photos and put them on Taobao.

After the customer comes to place an order, they go to the wholesale market to buy it and have it shipped by express delivery.

This is quite friendly.

The most exaggerated thing is what Zhou Buqi said.

Taobao has 9 million visitors every day, and at least 7 million of them lack understanding of e-commerce and have no idea what Dangdang, eBay, Joyo, and JD.com exist.

There are many stores that are engaged in third-party online shopping business. They go to other websites to collect information and display it in their own stores.

Then after the user places an order, he goes to other e-commerce platforms to place an order and mails it directly to the user.

As a result, many users will see the words "Dangdang", "Excellence" and other words after receiving the goods. But they don't understand what this means, and they think these are Taobao's cooperation platforms.

The Internet these days is in its rude stage, and there is no concept of copyright at all. In order to compete, any despicable means can be used.

"By the way, why did you think of opening a Taobao store?"

Zhou Buqi is very optimistic about this little girl Ma Shangqi, who is brave and courageous. This kind of person may not be able to perform well in middle school, but is often the most popular in college.

"Because..." Ma Shangqi's face turned red.

Ma Pingshan was startled, "Are you in love? Let me tell you, your dad said..."

"Okay, stop using chicken feathers as arrows. I don't even listen to my father. How can you, a middleman, control me?" Ma Changqi snorted and gave him a look of contempt.

Zhou Buqi almost laughed.

This little pepper stunned her brother for a moment.

In comparison, Zhou Nan is pretty good.

After hesitating for a moment, Ma Changqi raised her chin slightly and said angrily: "I am over 18 years old. I decide my own affairs! Huh! The reason why I want to open a Taobao store is because I am a roommate on Taobao.

I bought a second-hand MP4.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "That should be very cheap."

"Well, it's only 120 yuan. At first we tried to persuade her not to buy it, because what if it was a scammer? But my roommate was so aggressive that she didn't even have online banking, so she went directly to the post office to transfer money to her."

"Then you received it?"

"Um."

Ma Shangqi's face turned red again, as red as blood.

Ma Pingshan looked confused.

But Zhou Buqi figured it out instantly and almost laughed. In order to attract customers, Taobao store owners often put some welfare videos in when selling storable hardware devices.

It is estimated that her roommate took back the second-hand MP4 and feasted their eyes on it throughout the dormitory.

Zhou Buqi didn't break it. After drinking all the milk tea, he wanted to leave. "Okay, I'll go then. I wish you a smooth opening of the store."

"Hey, hey, don't leave..."

Ma Shangqi stood up quickly, looking very reluctant.

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Buqi looked at her strangely.

Ma Changqi scratched her head and said with a smile: "I see that you are quite smart, and you also know how to recruit intermediaries on other online shopping platforms. How about you help me and become the deputy store manager of my Taobao store."

"Ahem..."

Ma Pingshan, who was trying to drink up the milk tea and was about to leave, almost choked to death.

"I'm just good at coming up with ideas. I'm a typical person who has high ambitions but low ambitions and can't do practical things. You can look for it in the school. Beihang is such a good school. Are you afraid that you can't find help?" Zhou Buqi smiled and declined, "However,

Let me give you a suggestion."

"What advice?"

"Don't look for partners with your good friends, don't look for people in your dormitory, and it's best not to look for classmates."

"Why?"

Ma Shangqi looked strange. She just wanted to find her roommate to help.

Ma Pingshan said angrily: "Do you think starting a business is so easy? If you fail, it's okay. If you make money, the profit distribution will be troublesome. At that time, good friends will have to become enemies. Since we are opening a store, the relationship must be pure.

, once a disagreement occurs, they should be fired and replaced.”

Even someone like Boss Zhou fired his most effective partner in the early stages of starting a business. How can you, a little girl, handle it?

Ma Changqi looked admiring, her eyes shining, "Brother, you are so awesome!"

"snort!"

Ma Pingshan couldn't hide his pride.

"Brother, it seems that my dad is right, he asked me to learn from you."

"Um."

"My dad also said that he wants you to take care of me."

"Um."

"Brother, you need a deposit of 5,000 yuan to open a Taobao store. I have no money now. Can you lend me some?"

"ah?"

Ma Pingshan was dumbfounded.

Zhou Buqi laughed twice, thinking that his sister was really clever and quite interesting.

…

With the increase in downloads of Weidian Security Guard, the number of registered users of Friends.com has exceeded 32 million.

However, many people just download the software and then leave.

There are also a large number of people who have completed registration and have become zombie users after seeing the excitement.

The number of real active users is only about 15 million.

Half are college students and half are white-collar workers.

This is already a very impressive result.

The ability to achieve such attractiveness relies on the "drift bottle" and "poke" functions launched in the new semester.

"Poke" is currently the most used function on Friends.com, with an average of no less than 20 million interactions per day.

Many times there is no verbal interaction between friends, classmates, and colleagues, and they just keep poking and poking, so that after Zhang Yiming got the data, he was baffled.

I really don’t know what the point of these men and women poking around is. Are their behaviors simulating?

In comparison, Drift Bottle is much less popular, with only about 300,000 daily active users.

But these 300,000 users have all become die-hard fans of Friends. They are the group with the highest online time and activity every day, and are also the group with the largest range of friends in the circle of friends.

However, this is not enough.

If you want to really make a light website like Friends.com sticky, you must launch more interesting social functions.

Goal: Game.

The first social web game to be launched by Friends.com focuses on the word "friend" from Friends.com and is called Friends Buying and Selling.

The game framework was designed by Zhou Buqi himself.

Even in the game, users can buy and sell their friends as slaves, and the value of the slaves will increase. Users can also earn more cash by buying and selling friends.

This friend is naturally the friend in the friend list of the friend network.

After buying a slave, you can comfort him and torture him; as a slave, you can also please the master, and you may make money from these actions. The more times you buy and sell a person, the more methods you can use to torture and comfort him.

If the master tortures the slave too hard, the slave's value will be reduced; if the slave owner doesn't like a slave, he can get rid of it at a discount.

If you don't want to become a slave, you have to log in every day and participate in various activities, or collect slaves and let them work for you to make money. Until you have 10 slaves, you will become a big slave owner and regain your freedom.

The whole game design is light and simple, but it is easy to operate and has a lot of fun, especially becoming the master of good friends. This gimmick is enough to detonate the white-collar market.

If you are criticized by your boss at work, you might as well take your boss as a slave on your friends' website, and then humiliate, torture and mistreat him!

"According to the current pace, the game should be online by December."

The technical director in charge of the game business department is named Liang Rubo. He is Zhang Yiming’s college classmate and roommate, and he was also the one who later created Douyin.

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Any questions?"

Liang Rubo thought for a moment and whispered: "During the regular meeting that day, Cheng Binghao expressed some ideas, which I think make sense. He said that trading friends as slaves is a gimmick, but it deviates from reality and may not be very attractive.
