Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: September 15, 2002}

Yang Zhiyuan watched Ning Zimo sign his name on the Beibao share transfer agreement, and he smiled and nodded.

When he saw Ning Zimo raising his head after signing, Yang Zhiyuan stood up and said to Ning Zimo in Chinese, "Zimo, let them handle the legal provisions here. Let's go to my office to talk.

?”

Talk to him?

What else can we talk about?

It’s nothing more than b2c stuff.

Ning Zimo glanced at Zhang Miaoying with peace of mind. Seeing her nodding slightly, he stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll nag Mr. Yang."

"If so..."

The two of them walked out of the office after chatting, but Zhang Miaoying, who stayed in the conference room, couldn't help but shake her head.

In the two years since she was arrested and returned to the Special Administrative Region, she has gone out to socialize with her family several times no matter how reluctant she was.

Among the greetings of the older generation, there were many expressions that Ning Zimo had just talked with Mr. Yang, the mute tiger.

However, the same situation occurred between a 19-year-old young man and a Chinese-American who had been abroad for many years.

This feeling always makes people feel very strange.

Where does this young boss come from with so much experience in the world?

***+***

As Yang Zhiyuan walked, he chatted with Ning Zimo. These business nonsense that he had not used for a long time did not go through his mind at all.

As a result, other information naturally swirled in his mind.

In the second half of 2001, the dumb tiger was defeated! In a battlefield without smoke, the dumb tiger was defeated hundreds of millions of times.

Although it was in the e-commerce field that I was not good at, it was ultimately a failure.

To this end, Yang Zhiyuan has led his team to have many discussions, hoping to learn lessons from failures.

But what he couldn't imagine was that no matter how they analyzed it, a group of senior executives couldn't compare to a promising young man's words.

What did he say?

The intersection of c2c and b2c has inherent shortcomings, which has a lot to do with the mode.

The Internet is an emerging industry, and e-commerce terminal retail business is the first new business to bear the brunt.

Compared with the real economy, c2c and b2c are only slightly different in model, but they are still selling actual goods after all.

Since they are selling goods, the two platform models ultimately have to compare product quality and services.

After all, if Duhu was initially positioned as a C2C model, it would only be a problem in terms of competition for sellers’ resources.

The Internet is an emerging industry, and e-commerce terminal retail business is the first new business to bear the brunt.

Compared with the real economy, c2c and b2c are only slightly different in model, but they are still selling actual goods after all.

But if it locks its positioning in the b2c model, Yahu can organize the supply of goods in a planned way.

In this way, Duhu can bypass the threshold of sellers' competition for resources and directly invest funds in the products themselves to seek mid- to long-term competition.

Yes, that’s it!

This paragraph of words was like a word that broke the clouds and revealed the sun. At that time, it was like a famous saying that awakened the world in Yang Zhiyuan's heart. However, this paragraph of words was not understood by the entire high-level think tank of Yahu until last month. But such a forward-looking and thorough words,

It was the young man next to him who said it casually?

How deep does one need to know the Internet to understand such a deep understanding?

It can only be said that the young man next to me must have a gap in his chest and a world in his belly. Coupled with his unique insights, he can have such insights.

Hey, it’s a pity that such an insightful young man has even set his own direction very clearly and wants to be a search engine!

If he doesn't have a clear direction on his own, but can join Mute Tiger, then Mute Tiger will definitely be even more powerful!

Yang Zhiyuan's thoughts only lasted for a few minutes. When he took Ning Zimo to sit on the sofa in the reception area of ​​his office, he had already recovered his thoughts, and his eyes towards Ning Zimo became more and more full of appreciation.

"What are you busy with when Zimo returns to Changhua? Our technical department has officially let Lu Qi leave in mid-August. I don't know how your search engine is progressing. Is there anything you need help with?"

Yang Zhiyuan mentioned Lu Qi when he opened his mouth, which was a special mention of his support for Ning Zimo.

With such simple and straightforward words, Ning Zimo naturally understood what he meant very well.

After thinking about it, Ning Zimo said with a smile, "This matter really needs more support from Mr. Yang. After all, I would have no clue about my search engine dream without the help of a master like Brother Lu to help organize it."

After a pause, Ning Zimo continued, "The search engine project will be officially launched in Europe in a while. Before that, our fastest moving team is the trading team I built in Zhonghua. At present, our company has

I have negotiated orders with customers for many products. In addition, I even made a gadget and put it on the market."

Ning Zimo knew that Yang Zhiyuan's visit to him would definitely not be as simple as chatting. If he went around and around, he would definitely get back to the b2c plan. This was the main purpose of Ning Zimo's visit to Duhu this time.

But since the official curtain has not yet opened, Ning Zimo wants to bury his private goods and build some bridges for future development.

As expected, when Ning Zimo said this, Yang Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows in interest.

"Oh, Zimo moves very quickly. How long have you been back to plant flowers? The trading company has already started business?" Yang Zhiyuan laughed, but then he noticed a detail in Ning Zimo's words.

A gadget is also put on the market.

Which of the things this young man has created is not somewhat famous?

Beibao has been able to withstand hundreds of millions of attacks one after another. Isn’t it because of this young man’s “gadget”?

After a pause, Yang Zhiyuan shook his head and said with a smile, "Zimo said he made a gadget. I just want to say that your thing is probably not that small."

Ning Zimo's original intention was to arouse Yang Zhiyuan's interest. When he saw him coming to inquire, he answered, "It is an instant messaging software that has been put on the market for two months."

???

When Yang Zhiyuan heard this, he immediately leaned forward slightly and said, "Instant messaging software? Is it skrpe?"

"Well," Ning Zimo picked up the cup as he spoke and drank the fine coffee given by Chief Mute Tiger calmly.

emmm, it tastes much better than instant.

The title "Chief Mute Tiger" comes from the early days of Mute Tiger Company. At that time, although Yang Zhiyuan founded Mute Tiger, he did not get involved in specific business affairs in a hurry, so he gave himself the title "Chief".

), influencing the company's development from the perspective of strategy, public relations, and culture. From another perspective, Yang Zhiyuan can be said to be the spiritual leader and godfather-level figure of Duhu Company.

While spinning this information in his mind, Ning Zimo drank coffee leisurely.

However, Yang Zhiyuan was a little surprised when he heard that skrpe was made by the young man in front of him. Yang Zhiyuan knew about this software. This skrpe software is currently particularly popular in Europe and the United States, with more than 5 million users in just two months.

.Because of its convenience, not only has it become popular within Duhu, but many companies in Silicon Valley have begun to use it.

Although no one can figure out what the business model of skrpe will be, this software, which has exploded with an astonishing number of users in a short period of time, has attracted the attention of many people in the industry, and many people in the industry have even begun to discuss this software.

value.

"Zimo has done another big thing without knowing it." Yang Zhiyuan sighed in admiration.

"It's okay. In fact, I just thought instant messaging was a good entry point, so I jumped in. But the sudden increase in the number of users made me unprepared." Ning Zimo sighed and said helplessly, "I want to

It’s not that Beibao’s stocks have given me a chance to withdraw funds. I won’t be able to find other profit points for a while.”

Putting the cup in his hand back on the table, Ning Zimo smiled honestly and said to Yang Zhiyuan, "I'm still waiting for when Mr. Yang's b2c website will be launched and become a direct supplier to Yahu.

, I want to make a little money so that I can turn around my small business."

"Zimo now has nearly 40 million US dollars, and there is also a rapidly growing skrpe with 5 million users, plus a search engine that will surface at any time." Yang Zhiyuan laughed bitterly after hearing this for a while, and finally asked

Ning Zimo shook his head and said, "Zimo, you are still young. Being a little humble is a good character, but being too modest is belittling yourself."

Ning Zimo smiled and said nothing, since everything that needed to be said had already been said.

It should be Yang Zhiyuan who comes to Mute Tiger's home court to call the shots. After he laid the groundwork, the rest is waiting for Mr. Yang to take the initiative.

Seeing that Ning Zi remained silent, Yang Zhiyuan did not go any further on this issue.

After all, the topics of these small talk just now can be regarded as an understanding of the future development of this young man, and it can be regarded as an end to his desire for him to join the dumb tiger.

Being young, there is really no limit.

Finally, Yang Zhiyuan shook his head and calmed down.

As soon as Ning Zimo saw Yang Zhiyuan's momentum, he knew that this was about to get to the point.

"Okay, Zimo told me about your recent development. Now it's my turn. I will talk to Zimo about a big plan of our dumb tiger in the near future!"

"Mr. Yang, tell me."

"We, Dumb Tiger, are preparing to formally establish a b2c business unit and enter the b2c field in the United States." Yang Zhiyuan said solemnly.

Ning Zimo looked calm, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

The giant dumb tiger is about to follow a pragmatic path that it has laid foreshadowing. This will mean that a new giant will appear on the American Internet war!

Now, both Duhu and Yibi may become important chess pieces for him to hold back Mariana.

In this way, on the one hand, I can have more preparation time for the game with Mariana.

But on the other hand, we need to be prepared and pay close attention to the butterfly effect that these variables may bring.

However, Ning Zimo had made preparations from the beginning and was not worried that this variable would bring too much hindrance to him.

After all, the reason why Mariana was so powerful in its previous life was not because of the strong market share of Mr. Jeff’s B2C business. It was because the Mariana ecosystem that Mr. Jeff inadvertently created was built into a powerful ecosystem.

In this era, not many people understand how to create an ecology, just like many Internet companies cannot find a business model. Not to mention, only a very small number of people have the possibility to implement the ecology unintentionally.

So, who can beat him in building an ecosystem?

He has a golden finger!

Ning Zi calmed down and looked at Yang Zhiyuan.

"This time Zimo comes over, we have two things we want to resolve with Zimo. One is the transfer of Beibao shares, which our team has just followed up on. The other thing is that I want to talk to Zimo.

Talk about the flower supply chain.

After our Yahu establishes the b2c business department, it will have a Commerce Department and a Purchasing Department responsible for the procurement of global products. The Commerce Department will be responsible for the negotiation of brand products entering the Yahu Mall, while the Purchasing Department will be responsible for the procurement of the global supply chain."

Yang Zhiyuan paused and looked into Ning Zimo's eyes, "Zimo, your plan has given us a relatively complete direction, but in terms of the supply chain, the vast land and resources for growing flowers are important resources that are difficult for us to integrate at the moment.

So, since Zimo has a trading company that grows flowers, maybe we can ask Zimo to set up a flower planting or purchasing center in the Asia-Pacific region to see if there is any possibility of in-depth cooperation between us?"

While he was talking, there was a knock on the door of Yang Zhiyuan's office. Yang Zhiyuan answered, and a slim secretary walked in from outside the door.

A letter of intent for cooperation was placed in front of Ning Zimo in an instant. Ning Zimo only glanced at it and his eyes lit up.

He didn't expect Yang Zhiyuan to have such an expectation at all, which meant that Dumb Tiger had a big plan!

However, this is a matter of mutual benefit.

"Mr. Yang, this may be an opportunity for me and Yahu to cooperate in depth, but please let me think about it carefully." Ning Zi said silently.

Yang Zhiyuan pondered for a while and nodded silently.
