Giant of the times

Without the support of STO Express, eBay Dangdang's website suddenly became unstable. At the same time, it had to worry about Li Zetian's acquisition of other express companies, so he was in panic all day long.

In the end, Son Zhengyi had to support Li Guoqing's suggestion to invest in some express delivery companies and continue to penetrate and control them. This would also enable these express delivery companies to expand rapidly. However, this costs a lot of money. Even so, the problem of logistics collapse cannot be solved in a short time.

At this time, Son didn't realize that he and SoftBank were in a quagmire. He was now a gambler, constantly investing money on the eBay Dangdang website. If you win, you will get huge gains, if you lose, you will suffer heavy losses.

…

July is full of fire and the heat is unbearable.

Users of the eBay Dangdang website complained a lot, and Taobao launched Alipay, which attracted attention.

In order to promote Alipay, Taobao announced that by binding Alipay to online banking, you can get shopping coupons ranging from 10 yuan to 1,000 yuan, which are determined by the user's own draw.

In addition, on the most conspicuous place on the homepage of the Yahoo website, Taobao posted an advertisement: "During the event from July to August, users who register on Taobao for the first time will receive a 50 yuan shopping voucher! Identity verification name Certification, everyone only has one chance, so hurry up and register!!!”

Tencent QQ software also popped up a promotional advertisement: "Tao, I like it so much!!!"

On the homepage of the NetEase website, Taobao advertises: "It's really tiring to go shopping with a woman, why not go to Taobao!"

Suddenly, various Taobao advertisements appeared on the Internet, which surprised people.

“Damn it, Taobao is so rich, they advertise everywhere!!!”

"Yeah, damn it, I can see Taobao ads everywhere, it's really awesome!"

"Damn it, you can get 50 yuan for registering a Taobao user. Mad, you'd be a fool not to go! If 10 million people registered as users, wouldn't Taobao have to spend 500 million yuan? Well, plus registering for Alipay You can draw a lottery by binding to online banking. Let me tell you, is Taobao a tycoon company? Is it so awesome?!"

“Taobao is so generous!”

"..."

Taobao spread wildly in QQ groups, blogs (Weibo has not yet been launched), forums, universities, and companies. The number of newly registered users is astonishing!

Hangzhou, Alibaba Company.

"Mr. Ma, there are too many visits to the website, and the server can't bear it!" The technician in the background said with a wry smile.

Ma Yun said: "Holy crap, I've prepared ten more servers in advance, but it's still not enough! Contact Google immediately and rent their data center!"

"yes!"

On the monitor, the data of registered users keeps rising, with dozens or hundreds jumping every second, sometimes more.

Ma Yun and others looked at the monitor without blinking, with abnormal excitement in their eyes!

You will receive 50 yuan when you sign up, which seems like a lot. In fact, not all of the money will be paid by Taobao, and the participating stores will also bear a lot of it. The eBay Dangdang website reduces the price of goods, and Taobao gives away shopping coupons, but obviously Taobao's methods are more sophisticated.

Although you have lowered the price, you still have to spend money, right?

However, giving away shopping coupons is different, it is simply a waste of money!

In comparison, consumers are of course more inclined to the latter.

However, as everyone knows, once users start shopping, they are completely unable to stop the car. After spending 50 yuan, they will continue shopping.

For Taobao, taking this opportunity to gain a large number of users is the greatest success!

That night, everyone at Alibaba couldn't sleep. Jack Ma and a large number of company executives stayed at the company, watching the numbers on the LCD screen change rapidly. In the early hours of the night, Taobao's registered users exceeded the 3 million mark!

boom! ! !

Jack Ma opened a bottle of champagne and said with great excitement: "It took four or five years for the eBay Dangdang website to accumulate 3 million users, but it only took us more than three months! To be precise, today alone, we have Nearly two million registered users have been acquired! And this is just the beginning... Now, let’s celebrate this wonderful moment together!!!”

Ma Yun and others held a celebration banquet in the company that night.

"cheers!!"

"cheers!!"

"cheers!!"

…

All the employees of the eBay Dangdang website were dumbfounded. Taobao's promotion efforts were so powerful that they simply didn't use money as money. And there are so many Internet giants promoting it. Damn it, the difference in treatment is too big!

Three days later, at noon.

Alibaba held a press conference. Jack Ma took the microphone and announced energetically: "Welcome to Alibaba's press conference. Here, I will solemnly announce something to you!"

Ma Yun paused and then said loudly: "So far, Taobao has 6 million registered users!!!"

what? ! !

Taobao has only been online for a few months, and it already has 6 million registered users? !

The reporters' eyes widened and they couldn't believe it.

Taobao is so awesome, and eBay Dangdang doesn’t seem to have that many registered users, right?

There was an uproar at the press conference!

"Suddenly, a spring breeze comes overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloom."

People can't help but think that Taobao's rise is too fast, as if it happened overnight.

Countless reporters rushed to ask questions, asking why Taobao rose so quickly!

Ma Yun smiled lightly and said: "The answer is very simple. The reason why Taobao has risen so fast is just because its boss is Chronos Li!!!"

When everyone heard this, they were all convinced! !

"I see, that makes sense!"

"That's right, with Chronos Li's support, there's nothing we can't do!"

"..."

Among the crowd, the "spy" from the eBay Dangdang website had a pale face.

…

At this time, in China’s e-commerce market, Amazon’s website ranks first, eBay’s website ranks second, Taobao ranks third, and eBay’s Dangdang website ranks fourth. However, eBay Dangdang, the fourth website, is very embarrassing and has the lowest user favorability. In addition, with the rise of Taobao, many users of eBay Dangdang website have gone to Taobao. Therefore, although the eBay Dangdang website is still ranked fourth, the gap with the top three is getting wider and wider.

BJ, Chaoyang District.

The Chinese Variety Show Production Company is affiliated to the Chinese Film Industry. It was just established and has recruited a group of outstanding talents from major TV stations to produce high-quality variety shows.

"Mr. Li has designed a variety show called "Run, Brother." You guys have a look first!" The speaker was Hu Yang, CEO of a Chinese variety show production company. He comes from Asia Television in Hong Kong and has more than ten years of experience in the industry.

A secretary distributed the information to a dozen senior executives present.

A few minutes later, an old man in a black suit praised: "This show is great, I will definitely watch it and it will become popular!!!"

"Mr. Li is right, I also think this show will definitely be popular!"

"Chronos Li is indeed a genius. It is said that he designed phenomenal variety shows like "American Idol"!"

Hu Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Since everyone is optimistic about this show, then we should discuss which celebrities should be used as regular hosts of this show!"

"Andy Lau, Andy Lau!!!"

"Louis Koo, mainlanders really like his film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!"

"Zw is also good. After filming "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", she also filmed "Love in the Rain", a very popular female star!"

"Liu Yifei is also good. She first filmed "The Golden Family" and then made her mark in "Dragon". The fairy sister is very popular in China and has many young fans."

Hu Yang reminded: "There is only one female celebrity among the fixed hosts."

"Choose Xiao Yanzi zw, she is very popular!"

"Choose the fairy sister Li Yifei. She is full of fairy spirit and will attract young people even more!!!"

"..."

"Ahem," Hu Yang coughed twice and said, "Okay, let's not discuss the female host. In fact, this candidate has already been decided..."

"Has it been decided? Mr. Hu, who is this person?"

Everyone was curious. Obviously, this decision must be made by Li Zetian. Naturally, everyone was curious about which female star got Li Zetian's favor!
