Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

Ning Zimo couldn't tell that Li Ying, who was only 22 years old, was still an experienced driver. At least this skill of being able to drive into a parking space was far beyond the capabilities of someone like him who couldn't even drive a car.

But Ning Zimo did not struggle with this issue. All they talked about along the way were some future plans. Although Li Ying did not agree to join, he still revealed some details in order to attract Li Ying to join.

Now that the car is parked in front of Yahoo, he naturally can't continue talking. He can only return to this inexplicable invitation, "Why did Mr. Yang think of letting me come?"

While pulling out the key, Li Ying smiled and said, "You have appeared in the New York Times. Jerry is very interested in you, a young genius who grows flowers, so he asked me to ask."

"You have been in contact with Mr. Yang?" Ning Zimo was curious.

"Of course, my team has been serving Yahoo since I was an intern. Yahoo is a competitor of eBay to a certain extent, so they will naturally pay attention to information related to eBay."

In 2000, Yahoo expanded its e-commerce business and entered a competitive relationship with eBay. However, since Yahoo started its development from a portal website and had little knowledge of the e-commerce business, it was obvious that it could not shake the foundation of eBay, so the final result was that Yahoo

ended in defeat.

At this time, Yang Zhiyuan was proud to find him through Li Ying, couldn't he?

"Does he want me to work at Yahoo?"

Li Ying nodded,

Ning Zimo suddenly became happy.

This Mr. Yang's thinking mode is indeed one that comes and goes. He has already withdrawn from the e-commerce field. Why do you still want to find him?

You can't call me back, can you?

…

"Before Paypal was listed, some news about Zimo had circulated in the public. When we met today, Zimo is indeed young and promising."

After a brief introduction, Yang Zhiyuan spoke Mandarin to Ning Zimo in a substandard Mandarin.

To be honest, the way he used Chinese to express his feelings made Ning Zi feel like he was planting flowers in a moment of silence.

But after all, he is a senior in the Internet industry. Although he failed in his previous life, after all, he brought Yahoo to glory in the early days of the Internet as a Chinese, and he was also a leader that flower growers can be proud of. Ning Zi accepted it without being humble or overbearing, and

Li Ying sat on the sofa next to her.

Looking closely at this senior who was originally from the north of the two lakes, Ning Zimo was not excited at all, but quietly waited for Yang Zhiyuan's next arrangement.

Yang Zhiyuan, who was sitting next to Ning Zimo, had been carefully observing the person he had been paying attention to for a long time since he entered the door.

Regarding Ning Zimo, Yang Zhiyuan just said that he learned about Ning Zimo through some information that was circulated in the market before Paypal was listed. In fact, Yang Zhiyuan has been following Ning Zimo for 8 or 9 months.

As a competitor of eBay, Yang Zhiyuan's team has collected a lot of information about eBay. When they saw that eBay is the largest payment platform, Paypal's team actually has a 17-year-old flower grower who also serves as a product manager.

Yang Zhiyuan began to pay attention to him.

Ning Zimo entered Paypal in May 2001 and was promoted to product manager in less than 2 months. A few months later, he was promoted to coo. At that time, he was not yet 18 years old, and he was promoted to first grade

He is a young flower farmer, but he serves as a senior executive in a Silicon Valley startup company. Even though the average age of this startup company is 25.6 years old, he is still considered a rare figure in the team.

eBay's [Store Plan] was launched with great momentum, but it didn't even survive for a day. The [Checkout Counter] was even aborted before Christmas, all because of this young man's handiwork.

At that time, Yang Zhiyuan once lamented that there are still creatures like geniuses in this world. Conditions such as age that can restrain ordinary people are meaningless to them.

Thoughts were flowing, Yang Zhiyuan was in a good mood, and he spoke openly and happily, "Zimo, although we at Yahoo have lost to eBay in the field of e-commerce, in this era when the Internet is in its early stages of development, creativity and choice can come at any time.

It can make a company stand up again, which is the main reason why I came to talk to you."

About ten minutes ago, Ning Zimo had just talked to Li Ying about the importance of choice. Now that Yang Zhiyuan talked about it again, Li Ying couldn't help but glance at Ning Zimo.

Ning Zimo didn't care about this detail. He heard Yang Zhiyuan's words as an opening statement, so he just waited quietly for Yang Zhiyuan to continue.

Seeing that Ning Zimo was silent, Yang Zhiyuan felt that this young man could keep his composure, so he continued, "We at Yahoo have paid attention to two models of e-commerce, one is eBay in Silicon Valley, and the other is in Seattle.

Amazon. I would like to talk to Zimo in detail about these two companies and their e-commerce models."

They talked about it, but Yang Zhiyuan didn't say anything further. Only then did Ning Zimo realize that this was actually a test left by Yang Zhiyuan. Ning Zimo was curious. He was called here by Yang Zhiyuan, so why did he pass the exam?

However, this thought only occurred for a moment, and Ning Zimo thought of a far-away question.

The last time he faced Meg Whitman, he laid a foreshadowing for Seattle-based Amazon in the strong woman. This time when he heard that Yang Zhiyuan was interested in the e-commerce market, Ning Zimo suddenly took action.

A new thought.

eBay and Amazon are essentially competing between c2c and b2c models. In the early days when the market and customers were immature, the openness of c2c had a great advantage. But when the market and customers mature, c2c with unstable supply will

would be at a disadvantage. This is the main reason why Amazon in its previous life could continue to grow after 2008, surpassing eBay and gradually becoming a trillion-dollar company.

It can also explain why the Ahri system in the previous life developed rapidly in the early stage, and even won consecutive victories during Double Eleven. In the later period, JD.com slowly caught up. Although it could not compete, it still ranked second. And this is because of Ali's logistics.

This is due to the objective reasons of extremely low logistics costs due to the abundant human resources for flower cultivation. Of course, Brother Dong’s face blindness and self-delivery of towers are also fatal reasons.

All in all, the current eBay can suppress Amazon in the early stage because of its model. But after the initial stage, Amazon will focus on the middle and later stages, and there will be no suitable competitors. At that time, Amazon, which has no competitors in the local market, will

You will want to embark on a speeding life like a wild horse that has escaped the reins.

But what if Yahoo is also brought into this system?

On the one hand, Yahoo has enough funds to engage in a mid-term confrontation with Amazon.

On the other hand, if Yahoo starts a b2c model project, it will inevitably not be able to invest much energy in other aspects.

For example, Teacher Ma who regretted starting Ali Baba!

Based on the principle that the enemy of the enemy can be a friend, as long as you guide this move, you will still be able to kill three birds with one stone.

Ning Zimo's calculation at this moment had a plan in mind.

Now,

It depends on how he talks about it.
