Boss Zhou and Boss Ma have known each other for a long time, and it can be said that they understand each other tacitly.

It's all a big lie!

Whoever believes what the other party says is a fool.

Too much moisture!

It also subsidizes 3 billion to develop social software. This kind of empty cannon sounds really depressing.

Then, Boss Ma sighed secretly.

Depend on!

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!

In the world of cheating, you have met your match.

Zhou Buqi knew that Boss Ma knew that he was fooling him, but he didn't mind. A conversation between smart people doesn't need to be too clear. He said without changing his face: "Old Ma, these three projects will be completed in the next month."

, we will notify investors in batches. It may cause some controversy, and I need your support."

Boss Ma sneered twice, "Controversy? I think someone is rebelling! Are you not afraid of using investors' money as money?"

"Rebellion? Whose rebellion?"

"Um……"

"Softbank, can you help me breathe?"

"You're moving too much."

Boss Ma sighed, feeling strange in his heart, already smelling a bit of conspiracy.

If things go the other way, there must be a monster!

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "This is a strategy. It is the best plan for Ziweixing and investors. Lao Ma, it is not easy for you to control Alibaba's board of directors, right? SoftBank is easy to say, but Masayoshi Son doesn't care about the company's operating strategy at all. But

Isn’t it difficult to deal with Yahoo? I heard that the financing agreement you signed had additional terms for Yahoo to control Alibaba?”

Boss Ma snorted and said nonchalantly: "That is an invalid clause and will never happen. Not only will it not happen, I will also look for opportunities to buy back some of Yahoo's shares."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, if you need help, just ask."

Boss Ma was amused by him.

A blatant exchange of interests.

That’s okay!

Everyone has started a company and can feel the complexity of dealing with investor relations.

It is obvious that Zhou Buqi is setting up a trap for investors.

Even if there is no exchange of interests, Boss Ma will definitely agree. Only when Ziweixing's capital relationship is stable can it focus on business development. Having a nagging investor will be a real disaster for entrepreneurs.

Boss Ma waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can handle this yourself. I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?"

"Baidu is going to be an e-commerce company, the news has been confirmed, and it has poached a lot of people from me."

"Well, you also went to my place to poach. The deputy director of group buying on campus was poached."

"Ali cannot fall behind."

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean? Poaching?"

Boss Ma snorted, "What Baidu wants to do is c2c, which is the current Taobao model. Paipai and Baidu are both following Taobao. Since they like to follow, let them not keep up!"

Zhou Buqi understood, "You want to make a big move?"

Boss Ma humbly asked for advice, "What do you think of the b2c direction?"

Zhou Buqi looked at him deeply and said, "It's hard to say."

Boss Ma frowned, "This is boring. I have been paying attention to on-campus group buying for several years, which is between b2c and b2b. You also invested in JD.com, don't you understand b2c?"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "You know that I invested in JD.com, and you still ask me about the B2C model?"

Boss Ma was surprised, with a puzzled look on his face, "JD.com and Taobao...are not contradictory, right? Taobao is doing B2C because it wants to further lead the domestic e-commerce market and let Baidu and Penguin catch up behind. Taobao Mall's competitors are

What are Amazon and JD.com?”

Zhou Buqi took a deep breath.

Sure enough, it’s Taobao Mall!

Later it was renamed and became Tmall.

but……

There is an opportunity here!

Taobao Mall did very poorly at first and went bankrupt within a few months. Later, Xiaoyaozi took over the business and reorganized the team.

In order to save Taobao Mall, especially the dismal performance in the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, there is the National Day, followed by Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year's Day and Spring Festival. There are many various festivals, and physical shopping malls are doing promotions and activities.

This has caused users to go to large shopping malls to buy things at this stage, and the share of online shopping has been greatly reduced.

what to do?

Xiaoyaozi was so imaginative that he imitated the American shopping festival and created the "Double Eleven Shopping Festival".

This online shopping festival saved the fourth quarter and completely revitalized Taobao Mall.

This is the general trend of the industry and also Alibaba’s internal operating logic.

Zhou Buqi was keenly aware of something.

He is unable to change this general trend. The best way is of course to maximize the use of it to satisfy his own interests!

The Double Eleven Shopping Festival means that in a short period of time, countless Internet users will place orders on Taobao... which will put huge operational pressure on Alibaba's servers.

At this time, the power of cloud computing should be reflected.

In order to poach Wang Jian earlier, Zhou Buqi boasted to him that he had taken care of Alibaba and that Alibaba would become an important customer of Ziweiyun. This was a lie.

But as long as Alibaba launches its Taobao mall strategy, the boasts will have a chance to be realized.

When Boss Ma saw Zhou Buqi's eyes gleaming, he couldn't help but trembled, "What are you planning? I can tell you that Alibaba invests a lot of advertising money in Ziweixing every year! From now on!

Starting next year, Alibaba will officially give up cooperation with Baidu, block Baidu's crawlers, and designate cooperation with Weidian. How much more money do you want?"

Zhou Buqi couldn't help but laugh, "Lao Ma, you are such a big boss, but you still have such a small amount of money?"

Boss Ma was unmoved.

Zhou Buqi sighed, "Forget it, the existing cooperation model is pretty good. Hmm... b2c, I think we can do it. Alibaba is the leader in the domestic e-commerce industry, so it is natural for it to lead this era.

It’s good to do b2c.”

"real?"

Boss Ma's eyes lit up.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Well, do it, I support you."

"But what should be done specifically?"

"Well..."

"There has been a discussion recently. The board of directors has differences on the strategic positioning and operating model of B2C, and they are not sure what to do."

"If you don't know clearly, then I don't know even more."

Zhou Buqi shook his head repeatedly, pretending to be stupid.

Of course he knows the correct model of Taobao Mall. In fact, it is to move Wanda Mall to the Internet and collect advertising fees through rent collection to ensure revenue during droughts and floods.

This is an asset-light model.

In contrast, Amazon and JD.com's B2C model adopts a heavy-asset model, purchasing goods from large companies for self-operation and selling to consumers at a markup.

The former earns advertising fees and rent, while the latter earns the price difference of goods.

In terms of the advanced nature of the model, Taobao Mall is certainly better.

The operation risk of light assets is smaller, the team is smaller, the efficiency is higher, and the execution is stronger. What is earned is not the price difference of goods, there is no value-added tax and consumption tax, and these two taxes are passed on to the store. As for the store payment

If you don't pay, it has nothing to do with Taobao Mall. The corporate tax rate is lower than that of JD.com.

The disadvantage is that fakes are uncontrollable.

Zhou Buqi naturally couldn't give out such important information easily.

Wait until the critical moment and give the old horse some guidance, and maybe you can make a lot of money from Ali again.

…

The next day, Zhou Buqi returned to Beijing.

However, when getting on the plane, it was not the secretary holding the boss's arm, but the boss holding the secretary. Luo Qianli was injured, and the culprit was Zhou Buqi.
