Chapter 903 Channel Provider(1/2)
That day, the meeting lasted until three o'clock in the morning before they dispersed.
Unify thoughts, unify concepts.
Japanese business must be done!
Currently, there are only two ways.
The first way is to use SoftBank's relationship to reach cooperation with Yahoo Japan. Then, use Yahoo's traffic to build yikyak, a social networking site for strangers.
Take the PC Internet route.
The second way is to open up relationships with operators, provide software services, and strive to pre-install UC Browser and UC Mobile Assistant into mobile phones. Then, through the UC brand, strive to develop UC Beauty.
Take the route of combining PC and mobile phone.
Once you get through one of them, you can basically start your business in Japan steadily.
When we got back to the hotel, it was already four o'clock in the morning.
Shi Jinglin was a little sleepy, a little tired, and yawned. Zhou Buqi carried her to take a bath, planning to go to sleep quickly, but he was also a little tired.
"I have a question. When you accept SoftBank's investment, aren't you afraid of people gossiping?"
"What gossip?"
"Just like Ali, don't everyone say that he works for the Japanese?"
Shi Jinglin yawned again and didn't want to move at all. She stood there and asked Zhou Buqi to take a shower for herself.
Zhou Buqi said: "The timing is different. Alibaba accepted SoftBank's funds when it couldn't survive, and got a lot of shares. Ziweixing only started financing after it became strong. Even if the B round is over and SoftBank invests,
It’s just a dozen points, so it’s not a big problem.”
"Then if word spreads back to China that SoftBank led the two rounds of financing for MSI, there will be some people who are weird... Oh, don't come here. I'm tired and fell asleep after taking a shower... I want to go through all the trouble to find your big boss.
Secretary goes."
Shi Jinglin pushed him a few times and expressed her refusal.
Zhou Buqi said angrily: "I asked you to hold the wall because I wanted to rub your back! Where did you want to go?"
Shi Jinglin gave him a big look, "Just pretend! Tell me quickly, what do you think about SoftBank?"
Zhou Buqi snorted: "What do you think? Those who can't get money are eccentric, and those who have the chance to get money are jealous. SoftBank is the richest and offers the highest price. Of course, choose SoftBank."
Shi Jinglin shook her head repeatedly, "This is not a reason."
"What?"
"Money is no excuse, you said it."
"Did I say this?"
Zhou Buqi couldn't laugh or cry. In a capital society and a market economy environment, money is of course the biggest excuse.
After a pause, Zhou Buqi asked: "What do you think is the significance of our Japan strategy?"
Shi Jinglin answered simply, "Make money."
Zhou Buqi shook his head, "It's about making money, but you have to make big money. Accepting SoftBank's investment is part of the corporate strategy. On the one hand, SoftBank's relationship can be used to help Ziweixing integrate into the Japanese market as soon as possible. On the other hand, it can help Ziweixing integrate into the Japanese market as soon as possible.
Enter the game, lay a solid foundation, and build your own product ecology. This is no longer even a corporate strategy, it can be upgraded to a national strategy."
"Ah?" Shi Jinglin looked back at him, surprised, "Bragging."
Zhou Buqi hummed: "What is the most important thing in the Internet? Traffic! Traffic is king. If you have traffic, you have everything. Especially Japanese users are stupid and sweet. As long as there is traffic, they are afraid that product marketing will not be done well.
?Look at China, Ziweixing and Penguin are successful in almost everything they do, just because they have traffic!"
"Um……"
"So the first step of Japan's strategy is not to make money, but to attract traffic. Whether it is yikyak or uc, it is all to capture traffic. Just like Ziweixing, a traffic matrix is built. With traffic, everything will be fine. Tang
Binchen also said that Japan's IT environment...is much behind China in terms of model. Especially software. Many software technologies are very high, but the model is too backward. It is still traditional production, wholesale, and retail, so that many software
It is a niche product, and it is difficult to have a national-level product."
Shi Jinglin was moved, "You want to change the current model?"
Zhou Buqi said: "It's not that I want to change, it's the wave of the times that will push them to change. We just need to benefit from the trends of the times. The Japanese market is rich and there is no piracy. It is so easy to make money. But
Look at Kingsoft, because of the lack of channel relationships, it has to spend 50% of its revenue and distribute profits to local operators for them to sell on their behalf. But even so, Kingsoft is the only one. Not even Lenovo or Huawei can open Japan.
market."
Shi Jinglin repeated, "You want to change?"
Zhou Buqi said: "We can't penetrate the traditional local channels in Japan. Japan's business is very traditional. Products enter the hands of consumers through channel dealers, and the consumption model is conservative and backward. The Internet is point-to-point... or in other words,
An Internet platform with extremely high traffic can become an emerging channel provider."
Just like Friends.com, in a sense, it is a channel provider.
Dangdang, Taobao, Baofeng Video, Xunlei and other products all put their products on friends' websites in the form of advertisements, allowing users to choose.
Japan's market environment is too conservative, rigid and lacks flexibility. Foreigners will definitely not have the opportunity to intervene with traditional channel vendors. But silly people often understand products through channels.
They buy what others sell.
It's easy to be fooled.
Just like junk phones like Sharp, NEC, and Panasonic have the best sales in the country, they are not as good as South Korea's Samsung and LG. They cannot be sold abroad at all, and they can only rely on monopoly channel relationships in China to sell them to the people of the country.
There is a saying that for Japanese products, first-rate products are sold to the local people, while only second-rate and third-rate products are exported abroad. Many people believe it to be true.
How is it possible?
In the capitalist market, of course, products will be sold wherever there is more money. Products that cannot be sold are deceived to consumers who can afford to be stupid.
This rhetoric is actually the country's channel dealers deceiving ordinary people, encouraging them to buy local products and safeguard the survival of local enterprises. As a result, many foreigners who are not very informed are also deceived.
Under this business model, channel providers can face users directly, so they have great influence.
This is true for mobile phones, and so is luxury goods.
Luxury goods are huge profits, and channel dealers are very keen on them. They have changed their propaganda, saying that girls must carry LV and Hermès bags to show their own taste. If you don’t carry famous brand bags, you are low, and you are a village girl.
Fashion.
The result is that young girls all over the street are carrying luxury bags. The proportion is the highest in the world, and luxury is prevalent. But how can young girls have the money to buy luxury goods? They can only find old men.
Ask for help.
This kind of market environment must have been severely rectified in the country.
Capital has hijacked the national ethos.
Zhou Buqi is not interested in these things. The worse the atmosphere is, the happier he will be.
The greater the influence of channel dealers and the more deformed the market, the better. For Ziweixing, traditional channels have no chance, but emerging channels are full of opportunities!
The emerging channel is the Internet!
Zhou Buqi said: "Let's talk about Kingsoft Antivirus. If you come to Japan to sell, you have to give half of the revenue to the channel dealers and let them help promote it. If we can develop the Internet industry in Japan and build a large-traffic online channel platform
...Hmph, when the time comes, won’t it be easy for those excellent domestic products to enter the Japanese market? Will they still need to go through the trouble of begging grandpa and grandma like Jinshan?”
Shi Jinglin's beautiful eyes sparkled, "No wonder you say this is a great power strategy!"
Zhou Buqi said calmly: "The software industry in China is still not that good, but in the Internet direction, China is not much worse than Silicon Valley. As long as there are channels, it will be enough to form a dimensionality reduction attack and complete the crushing of Japanese Internet companies."
Shi Jinglin murmured: "If Ziweixing can drive a group of domestic Internet companies to develop in Japan, then you will be doing great things."
Zhou Buqi sighed: "So, the first step is to establish a relationship with SoftBank. This is the first step of the big plan."
"Others may not recognize it, and... you can't explain it. If you explain it, it will make the Japanese side wary."
"Yes, it doesn't matter if I sacrifice a little bit personally for the sake of national strategy."
"hehe."
Shi Jinglin sneered twice.
Zhou Buqi glanced at her, surprised, "Did I say something wrong? Is your tone wrong?"
Shi Jinglin hummed: "Yes, after participating in the national strategy, you will be a key protection target. By then, small mistakes will not matter, and the affairs of so many women of yours will not be worth mentioning."
Zhou Buqi said angrily: "With my current status, even if I don't participate in the national strategy, if there are more women, it will be a problem? Public order and good customs are to restrain the people at the bottom, can they be controlled by me?"
"At least you can get some insurance."
"I don't need insurance."
"Let's buy it."
"Um?"
Shi Jinglin said with a smile: "Why are you staring at me? I am the best to you. If you like any girl, just bring her back. I will support you."
"Well……"
Zhou Buqi's expression froze.
I cursed in my heart, you old witch!
