"It's just a mess!" Chen Baipeng angrily scolded. He thought he had already said it clearly enough, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yun would still insist on his own.

Then Chen Baipeng turned to Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, you have heard it too. Zhang Yun doesn't make any sense. I think you should have the same idea as me."

Zhou Ming nodded: "I understand everything. I still support Zhang Yun's idea. After all, no one is doing small businesses, so why don't we help him do it? After all, I know Zhang Yun. He hopes to build the Sobao enterprise, and only small businesses can grow."

Zhou Ming also explained to Chen Baipeng that although large companies make money quickly and stably, the biggest drawback of large companies is relationships.

As Zhang Yun said just now, if you want to get orders from large companies, you must have strong relationships, but how much relationship can Sobao, a newly established company, have? At most, you will just walk around Binjiang Province. If you want to leave the province, even a national team like the International E-Commerce Center cannot guarantee that all the relationships across the country will be 100%, let alone Sobao.

If Sobao's relationship is not that wide, I'm afraid that even the city of Hangzhou will not be able to leave. This will limit the future development of the company.

Chen Baipeng shook his head: "I understand what Mr. Zhou Ming, you mean. You hope that the search treasure will grow in the future. I hope so too. But the problem is that we must first consider the survival and development of the company, and then talk about the future. We cannot talk about the future and expand the country as soon as we start. This is like there are so many people in the college entrance examination every year, and everyone wants to become the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but there is only one person every year, so this is very unrealistic!"

Chen Baipeng also said: "And you know that the development prospects of small businesses are good, and I think others can see them too, so why no one does it? Have you ever considered this issue? Isn't it because it is impossible to continue to do it? Just imagine if a company can't even survive, what else can it be used to talk about the future and achieve the whole country?"

Zhang Yun also said: "Mr. Chen Baipeng, what you said makes sense, but I don't think we can retreat because others are afraid of difficulties and dare not try. This is not right!"

Chen Baipeng glared at the sight of Zhang Yun again, thinking that Zhang Yun was unreasonable. Zhou Ming stood up and made a smooth move to show that he could do it together with large and small businesses.

"After all, there is a limit for large enterprises. We can first build a wholesale website for large enterprises, first ensure that the company has certain returns, and then develop an online shopping website for small enterprises, and find ways to promote it step by step." Zhou Ming proposed a compromise plan for mutual compromise, because in Zhou Ming's impression, it seems like this was how I came through the previous life.

Although Zhang Yun didn't want to compromise on this plan, since it was proposed by Zhou Ming, he would definitely not object, and this is indeed the most suitable plan now.

But now Chen Baipeng seemed to be angry and rejected it directly and said, "No!"

Chen Baipeng didn’t object to it. He said that Sobao now has so many resources, and it is already very difficult to operate in a single-line manner. How can he still perform dual-line operations?

Chen Baipeng also said: "Let me say that, if Sobao decides to build a big company, I will help you get along with you. I am familiar with the factory directors of several state-owned enterprises in Hangzhou. It is not a problem to help Sobao earn tens of millions a year, but if you insist on building small businesses, don't blame me for letting go!"

Since Chen Baipeng and Zhang Yun were unable to reach a consensus, the meeting ended in a bad mood.

After Zhang Yun sent Chen Baipeng and other shareholders away, he returned to the conference room to sit down, looking very tired and helpless.

Zhou Ming did not leave, and was still in the conference room. He looked at Zhang Yun like this and did not disturb his thinking.

After a while, Zhang Yun raised his head again. He glanced at the clock on the wall. He took the initiative to invite Zhou Ming to dinner to welcome Zhou Ming. However, since Sobao is not rich in funds now, he found a relatively high-end hotel near the building. And Zhang Yun originally planned to bring his team, but after Zhou Ming's persuasion, they were the ones in the end.

After opening a private room and sitting down, Zhou Ming asked Zhang Yun: "Are you really blamed me? You have been back in Hangzhou for a year and have been starting a business. I have never seen you, and I even went to Nanjiang first."

Zhang Yun was stunned when he heard this, and then said a little embarrassedly that Zhou Ming must have something to do in Yanjing, and that he had his own considerations to do so.

As for him saying this, he obviously felt a little nervous. Although one of them is in Hangzhou and the other is in Nanjiang, there will always be a sequence, but when he is in Hangzhou, he always feels a little uncomfortable as the Penguin Company on Ma Weixun's side is booming and even becomes a miracle of the Internet.

Zhou Ming certainly understood this, so he picked up the bottle and poured wine for Zhang Yun: "Actually, I have considered the order of choosing you. Ma Weixun is a real-time messaging software, and the requirements for all aspects are relatively low. Simply put, as long as there is a computer, he can do it. Even the development of domestic Internet cafes allows him to support himself without so many computer users."

Zhou Ming then turned to Zhang Yun: "But it's different here. Apart from computers, you have more requirements for all aspects."

Zhang Yun had a confused expression, obviously not understanding what Zhou Ming said. Zhou Ming thought about it and asked him: "Do you know Yi Bei?"

Zhang Yun nodded and replied that he knew that even his idea of ​​doing e-commerce was only after seeing the Yibei company model in the United States.

"It's good that you know," said Zhou Ming, "Then you should know Yibei's trading model, right?"

Of course, Zhang Yun knew that Yibei was an e-commerce website established two years ago. It was different from Amazon and Sobao in later generations. His trading model was to take the form of auction. Any product was posted online and whoever had the highest bid within a certain period of time could get the product. Of course, if no one bought it within the limited auction time, the seller could choose to fail, or extend the auction time, and take the method of bidders first.

"Actually, these Americans still have some ideas. Although I don't like the auction method, I still think that the basic model of online retail is basically like this."

Then Zhou Ming's words changed: "Then there is a problem here, that is, after the transaction."

After the transaction?

Zhang Yun was stunned for a moment, but he was smart and quickly understood: "Mr. Zhou Ming, you mean how the goods are delivered from the seller to the buyer after the buyer buys the goods, right?"

Zhou Ming nodded and said that this is the case. After all, sellers and buyers will definitely not be together. It is even possible that online shopping is apart from offline transactions. So how to deliver the goods to the buyers is a problem.

"I know there are post offices in China, but the freight at the post office is currently quite messy. Not only is the time slow, but there is also a certain loss rate. If you want to ensure that the goods are delivered, you need to register additionally. So my idea is whether a new type of express delivery industry should appear in China to help online shopping solve this problem." Zhou Ming said.

Zhang Yun twists

He thought for a while: "I heard that Wang Shenglong, the young master of Posts and Telecommunications Group, is now in the express delivery industry."

Zhou Ming nodded and told him: "I asked him to do it. After all, the development of the post office has reached a bottleneck, and they need to make other plans."

Zhang Yun immediately figured out something, and he said happily: "So Mr. Zhou Ming, you are supporting me in small business e-commerce, right?"

Zhou Ming smiled and raised his glass: "You finally understand."

Of course, Zhou Ming supports Zhang Yun in small business e-commerce. Zhou Ming does not understand the situation of later international e-commerce centers and bulk wholesales such as 168, but Sobao online shopping is almost a sound of calluses, especially the sales that have been rising year by year on Double 11, which is probably a primary school student knows. More importantly, Zhou Ming invests in Zhang Yun, that is, online shopping, how could he not support it?

However, Zhang Yun didn't know this. He was surprised to thank Zhou Ming and was very moved by Zhou Ming's support.

Zhou Ming waved his hand and told him not to worry: "Don't rush to thank me first. If you really want to thank me, just make the online shopping for me first. But I have to remind you that this road is not easy to walk, and it may take ten years to achieve results."

Zhang Yun firmly told Zhou Ming that as long as Zhou Ming’s support is supported, he will definitely do it no matter what!

Zhou Ming actually tried Zhang Yun's determination. He then told Zhang Yun: "Actually, the big and small enterprises you had argued with Chen Baipeng before, is to put it bluntly, the difference between wholesale and retail. The International E-commerce Center and the Enterprise Intercommunication Platform already have similar wholesale functions. No matter how big we are, we don't have much intention to build a big company, we are now going to make retail."

"For online retail, I think a model like Yibei is good. Of course, I don't refer to wholesale, but to simple payment transactions."

Zhou Ming then emphasized to Zhang Yun: "If Zhang Yun, you are really determined to do online retail, there is a problem you must understand, that is, the positioning of Sobao, what kind of platform should it be."

Zhang Yun had considered this. He replied that Sobao should be just a platform, just like an online department store, just providing exclusive online stores and will not participate in any form of sales transactions.

Although Zhang Yun's explanation is still very general, it is obviously the prototype of treasure search in later generations.

So Zhou Ming asked again: "The second question we are talking about now is transaction security, which is also the core of online shopping. Now online shopping is cash on delivery, which is not a problem in the wholesale industry. Large companies pay attention to credibility, and even if large companies want to pay, we can ask a lawyer to sue him. But what about small companies or even individuals? How can you guarantee that these people will pay after receiving the goods? What if they really plan to cheat on you? Will you ask a lawyer to sue them? First of all, let’s not talk about whether you can find someone, even if you can find it, how much time will it take to sue this kind of lawsuit, and whether it will be worth it?"

Zhang Yun frowned and thought that this was indeed the case. Now for small businesses and individuals, he has never seen such scoundrels. Many times, even the courts have no choice, let alone them. If they encounter each other, don’t say too much, just a few cases will be enough to destroy the credibility that Sobao has worked hard to build.

"What about asking the buyer to pay first?" Zhang Yun proposed the idea.

"Then the same problem is the same. The seller is not necessarily a company, but may also be an individual. They run away when they receive the money. Who can you find?" Zhou Ming said, "So what you need at this time is an absolutely safe online wallet!"
