"Are you sure about this?" Tang Tianyu asked after hesitation.
No wonder Tang Tianyu has doubts. After all, Amazon is too huge, and its face value of tens of billions of dollars cannot be copied by copying.
"Certain? To tell you the truth, uncle, I'm less than 30% sure, but how can I know if I don't try it? Not to mention 30% sure, even if I'm only half sure, I'll give it a try." Tang Yu smiled.
In fact, Tang Yu said that this 30% certainty is only the lowest standard in his mind, because the government will definitely give him a lot of policy support for Blackwater International. With the help of the government, this 30% certainty can increase to 50% in an instant. 50% certainty, nearly half of the success rate is enough. Tang Yu believes that by relying on some other powerful gang leaders and his own thinking beyond this era, replicating the Amazon miracle is not empty talk.
In fact, whether it is 30% or 50%, it is already considered a great certainty. After all, once successful, you will earn tens of billions of dollars in profits, more than 100 billion yuan, and all you need to pay is just one Tang Yu felt that there was no need to mention the financial investment he had made over the years. Compared with the return on investment, that amount of effort was really too little. Therefore, even if he was only 10% sure, it would not be a loss to give it a try. He regretted it now. Why didn't he invest in Amazon before it developed? If he had invested in Amazon when it was first established, it wouldn't be much more , just 30% of the shares are now worth at least 10 billion US dollars, which is much better than what he is now. Therefore, Tang Yu regrets it very much, if he did not focus on Blackwater International
"However, people always have misunderstandings. Even if they knew about Amazon's business miracle in their previous lives, they just couldn't think of going there. It was no use. Anyway, there were more opportunities to make a fortune in the 1990s. All roads lead to Rome.
"Uncle, you should know something about e-commerce, right?"
Tang Tianyu nodded. Although the term e-commerce is still very new in China, they are in the computer industry and they still know a lot about it. "The Amazon you just mentioned is the leader in e-commerce, isn't it?" ."
Tang Yu also smiled, "Uncle, I feel that e-commerce is definitely the future trend. The development of Amazon has already represented this trend. This trend has begun to become popular in Europe and the United States. The domestic development conditions are poor and there are not enough Internet users. But sooner or later E-commerce can provide full-process services such as online transactions and management, so it has various functions such as advertising, consultation and negotiation, online ordering, online payment, electronic accounts, service delivery, opinion consultation, transaction management, etc. These functions cannot be provided by traditional businesses. We are copying the Amazon model, but we are just making e-commerce popular in China in advance. Even if it is not popular, it doesn¡¯t matter. Our purpose is to go to Nasdaq to make money. .¡±
Tang Tianyu is not interested in making money. He is a scholar, so naturally he is not interested in things that smell like copper. However, he is still very interested in e-commerce.
"I know a little about the functions of e-commerce. E-commerce can use the company's web server and customers' browsing to publish various business information on the Internet. Customers can quickly find the products they need with the help of online search tools. Information, and merchants can use online homepages and e-mails to advertise globally. Compared with previous types of advertising, online advertising costs are the lowest, but the amount of information given to customers is The most abundant. E-commerce can use non-real-time email (e-mail), newsgroups (newsgroups) and real-time discussion groups (chat) to understand market and product information and negotiate transactions. If there are further needs, you can also use Online whiteboard conferences to exchange real-time graphical information."
"Moreover, online consultation and negotiation can transcend the limitations of face-to-face negotiation and provide a variety of convenient forms of long-distance conversation. E-commerce can realize online ordering through the interactive transmission of emails on the web. Online ordering is usually done in the product introduction. The page provides very friendly order prompt information and order interactive format box. When the customer fills out the order form, the system usually replies with a confirmation information form to ensure that the order information is received. The order information can also be encrypted to allow customers and merchants to business information will not be leaked."
"Furthermore, e-commerce must become a complete process. Online payment is an important link. Credit card accounts can be used for payment between customers and merchants. Direct use of electronic payment methods online will save many personnel expenses in transactions. Online Payment will require more reliable information transmission security control to prevent illegal activities such as fraud, eavesdropping, and fraudulent use. Online payment must be supported by electronic finance, that is, financial institutions such as banks or credit card companies and insurance companies must provide financial services Provide services operated online. And electronicAccount management is a fundamental part of it. A credit card number or bank account number is an indicator of an electronic account. Its credibility needs to be guaranteed by necessary technical measures. The application of means such as digital certificates, digital signatures, and encryption provides security for electronic account operations. For customers who have paid, the goods they ordered should be delivered to them as soon as possible. Some goods are local and some goods are in other places. E-mail will be able to carry out logistics deployment in the network. The most suitable goods for direct delivery online are information products. Such as software, electronic books, information services, etc. It can send goods directly from the electronic warehouse to the user terminal. E-commerce can easily use "select", "fill in the blank" and other format files on the web page to collect user feedback on sales services. This enables the company's market operations to form a closed loop. Customer feedback can not only improve the level of after-sales service, but also enable companies to obtain business opportunities to improve products and discover markets. The management of the entire transaction will involve multiple aspects of people, finance, and materials, as well as coordination and management between enterprises, enterprises and customers, and internal enterprises. Therefore, transaction management involves the management of the entire process of business activities. The development of e-commerce will provide a good network environment for transaction management and a variety of application service systems. In this way, e-commerce can be more widely used. "
"Uncle, it seems that you also know a lot about this industry. Then the next step will be easy. You are only responsible for the technical aspects and leave the rest to me. Haha, uncle, you are just waiting to see. , isn¡¯t it just a copy of Amazon? Your nephew and I, that¡¯s not something we can easily grasp.¡±
Tang Tianyu also laughed. His nephew is so confident, so he naturally has to encourage him. Besides, being able to participate in this kind of thing, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, is already a blessing in itself.
In fact, Tang Yu¡¯s goal is not to surpass Amazon. In his mind, it is enough to run the website until it can be listed on Nasdaq. Domestically, compared with the mature e-commerce markets in Europe and the United States, there are still big flaws. Although the country has a large population and a large number of potential customers, at this time, the number of domestic Internet users is still very small. Compared with more than ten For a population of 100 million, the number of Internet users is still very small. Many people don¡¯t even know what a computer is, let alone the Internet. However, if you understand the Internet, you can make people who are used to shopping in stores go shopping online. , which requires a lot of effort. In short, if domestic e-commerce wants to develop, there is still a lack of conditions and it will take a few years to develop, just like the relatively successful websites such as Taobao and JD.com that have been operating for more than ten years. , none of which were developed within the past few years.
However, this does not mean that e-commerce cannot be developed in China. Tang Yu has a way to build a perfect e-commerce website under the existing conditions, and then promote the website to the domestic market under the encouragement of the Internet technology stock bubble. Stark, as long as it goes public, it will be successful. As for subsequent failures, it can be attributed to the bursting of the Internet technology stock bubble. I will have cashed out and left by then, and there is no need to worry about those things.
What¡¯s more, Tang Yu now has the foundation to copy Amazon, that is, Fengxing Express. With the green light from the country, Fengxing Express is likely to become the largest logistics company after China Post.
With the backing of Fengxing Express, I believe that even if the scale of this website created by Tang Yu is not as big as Amazon, it will not be too bleak. After all, e-commerce requires offline warehousing and logistics to support it. In fact, in his previous life, Tang Yu had been thinking that the post office was the largest logistics system in the country. If the post office established an e-commerce website to operate reasonably, The possibility of success is still very high. There is probably no offline warehousing and logistics system in the world that can compare with China Post.
"Haha, okay, brother-in-law, I will go crazy with you. I will say goodbye to the teacher when I go back today. Your brother-in-law, I will follow you from now on." Tang Tianyu laughed and joked, following this nephew, there will always be something wrong All kinds of unexpected surprises. Besides, even if it fails, it's not a big deal. He knows that his nephew has too many stalls, and it doesn't matter if he fails one or two.
In fact, it doesn't matter even if everything goes bankrupt. Even if all businesses go bankrupt, Blackwater International cannot go bankrupt. With the military personally controlling it, Blackwater International will only become more and more prosperous in Asia. Although The control of the military will also limit Blackwater International's entry into Europe and the United States, but the business volume in Asia is enough to support such a company. This company's annual 15% dividend alone is enough for the entire Tang family After several generations of worry-free life, Tang Yu only went into business to realize his self-worth. To him, money had long been just a bunch of numbers, nothing more than a few zeros and a few zeros. To him, that was what happened at that time. Son, there's nothing to worry about.
¡°It¡¯s very promising to hang out with me¡ª¡± Tang Yu said in a weird voice.
"Haha, you said you were fat and you were breathless. You kid, how about I call the eldest and second brothers?"
For a while, the uncle and nephew started teasing each other. They were only a few years apart in age, and they had a lot in common. Now that they were planning to engage in e-commerce, they naturally had to communicate well.
In fact, in this era, it is not that there is no e-commerce in China.
1990-1993 was the initial stage of China¡¯s e-commerce in the era of electronic data exchange. From 1993 to 1997, government leaders organized and carried out the "Three Gold Projects" stage to lay a solid foundation for the development period of e-commerce, which was regarded as the embryonic stage of domestic electronics. In 1993, the National Economic Informatization Joint Conference and its office, chaired by the then Vice Premier of the State Council, were established. They successively organized the "Three Gold Projects" such as the Golden Customs, the Golden Card, and the Golden Tax, and made significant progress. In January 1996, the State Council¡¯s National Informatization Work Leading Group was established, with the Vice Premier as the leader and more than 20 ministries and commissions participating, to provide unified leadership and organization for China¡¯s informatization construction. In 1996, the full bridge network and the Internet were officially opened. In 1997, the Information Office organized relevant departments to draft and compile China's informatization plan. In 1997, China's first vertical Internet company was born, Zhejiang Wangsheng Technology Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Wangsheng Business Bao Co., Ltd.). In April 1997, a national informatization work conference was held in Shenzhen, and various provinces, cities and regions successively established informatization leading groups and their offices. Each province began to formulate its own informatization construction plan including e-commerce. In 1997, advertisers began to use online advertising. Since April 1997, the China Commodity Ordering System (cgos) has been operational. 1998-2000, which is the current period, is the development stage of domestic Internet e-commerce.
In fact, just two months ago, in March 1998, China¡¯s first Internet online transaction was successful, marking the real start of domestic exploration in this area.
Tang Yu understands these things very clearly. In fact, he also understands the future development of domestic e-commerce very clearly. Only then can he be sure to run a successful e-commerce website and then list it on the Nasdaq before the stock market crashes. of.
In October 1998, the State Economic and Trade Commission and the Ministry of Information Industry jointly announced the launch of the "Golden Trade Project" with electronic trade as the main content. It is a large-scale pilot project to promote network applications and develop e-commerce in the field of economic and trade circulation. In March 1999, b2c websites such as 8848 were officially launched, and online shopping entered the practical application stage. In 1999, government Internet access and enterprise Internet access emerged, and generalized e-commerce such as e-government (Government Internet Project), online tax payment, online education (Hunan University, Zhejiang University Online University), and remote diagnosis (large hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai) were launched, and It has been piloted and has entered the actual trial stage. From 2000 to 2009, e-commerce gradually shifted from traditional industry B2B as the mainstay, marking that e-commerce has entered a stable period of sustainable development. After 2009, the vigorous development of 3G prompted the formation of the v5 era of e-commerce throughout the entire network, which can be regarded as entering a mature stage.
He has a very clear understanding of future policies and trends of the times. Of course, he does not need to know that clearly. After the Nasdaq stock market crashed in 2000, it is still unclear whether he will want to do this business. He needs to do a good job first. Say it again.
Tang Yu stayed in Beijing for two days. He originally planned to go back the same day he came. The return ticket was booked, but Tang Tianyu wanted to go back with Tang Yu, so he didn't make it on the same day.
It wasn¡¯t until the third day that Tang Tianyu finished packing and boarded the plane back to Liaohai with his girlfriend Lin Shan and Tang Yu.
"Sister Shan, this time" On the plane, the three of them were seated next to each other. Not long after the plane took off, Tang Yu started chatting.
"Xiao Yu, why are you still calling me Sister Shan? I think you should change your name." Tang Tianyu interrupted Tang Yu with a smile.
"Change? Ah, could it be that you" Tang Yu had always called Lin Shan Sister Shan before. Because they were about the same age, there was nothing wrong with calling her that way. But now Tang Tianyu asked Tang Yu to change her name, which means that The relationship between the two is about to take another big step.
"We got the certificate when we went back this time, and Shan'er's family also agreed. So, your identity as Sister Shan is about to change. Do you think you should change your story?" Tang Tianyu explained with a smile. road.
"Ah, change your words." Tang Yu shook his head excitedly, turned to look at Lin Shan, and said seriously: "Third Aunt"
Poof - Tang Yu's words made Lin Shan squirt out all the drink she just drank in her mouth. Especially when she saw Tang Yu's serious expression, including Tang Tianyu, they couldn't bear it anymore and covered their hands. Belly doubled up and laughed.
Tang Yu touched his nose: "Is it that funny? However, I don't feel as comfortable calling this third aunt as Sister Shan. Uncle, how about this? Let's have separate opinions with Sister Shan. I'll call her Shan." Sister, how about I call you uncle?"
"No, isn't this a mess? YouLet's call her third aunt. It will always be uncomfortable at first, but you will get used to it gradually. "Tang Tianyu waved his hand and said while suppressing a smile.
"Okay, third aunt." Tang Yu called out again gloomily.
"Hahahaha" The laughter that had just stopped broke out again at Tang Yu's aggrieved address, and the two of them felt their stomachs hurt from laughing. In fact, it would be better to call her Sister Shan. Third Aunt, I feel like calling her a lot older. She is only a few years older than Tang Yu.
After getting off the plane, Tang Yu called Yang Hanning: "Sister Hanning, where are you now?"
"Oh, Xiaoyu, what a coincidence. I just came back from Japan. If you had called one minute later, I would have already called you." Yang Hanning on the other end of the phone said slightly surprised.
"Oh? You're back so soon. How is the acquisition of Japanese companies and machine tools going?" Tang Yu asked with concern.
Previously, Yang Hunning was sent to Japan to carry out acquisitions, that is, to acquire Japanese companies and machine tools, etc. During the Asian financial crisis, many companies in Japan were also in danger. Tang Yu naturally wanted to take advantage of the funds in hand to go there. Japan went to take advantage of the situation. In fact, he had consulted Mr. Zhao and Mr. He before, and they both received varying degrees of support, but he didn't know how much Yang Hanning had gained.
"It's pretty smooth, because our company is registered in the UK, so the Japanese didn't have too much entanglement in the acquisition." Yang Hanning chuckled. If it is a company registered in China, if it goes to Japan to act aggressively, maybe It won't go so smoothly. As for the reason, everyone knows it, so there is no need to say it.
"That's good, that's good." Tang Yu nodded and sent Yang Hanning to Japan. He hadn't been intimate with a woman for a long time, and continued, "Sister Hanning, are you free tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? I want to Please summon the people in charge of Bai Ling, Wei Ke and Xing Yao, I have something to discuss with them."
"I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow. Even if they come here tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be in the afternoon. Let's do this, the day after tomorrow. I will ask them all to come over the day after tomorrow. By the way, where will you meet them."
"Just stay at Baijia." Tang Yu thought for a while and said.
"Okay." Yang Hunning on the other end of the phone responded.
"Sister Hanning, I miss you." After talking about business, Tang Yu started talking about personal matters.
In these years, he has been busy with Blackwater International and other things, and Yang Hanning is often not with him, so the two of them have few opportunities to get close. In fact, it was not just Yang Hunning. Women who were close to Tang Yu rarely had a good life during the time when Tang Yu was engaged in Blackwater International.
"Little husband, I miss you too." After saying this, Yang Hanning paused, and after a long time he whispered: "I'll wait for you at Youlin Homeland tonight." After saying that, before Tang Yu could speak here, She hung up the phone shyly. It was rare for Yang Hanning to take the initiative. For her, Tang Yu was everything to her. After being sent to Japan for so long, it was a lie to say that she didn't want Tang Yu. Her heart ached when she thought about it. She also knew that she had to complete her own tasks first, so she kept enduring the pain of lovesickness. Although the two often talked on the phone, they had not met each other after all. This time, she couldn't wait to talk to Tang Yu. Meet.
From what happened in April 1993 to now, the two of them have gone through ups and downs for five years. The girl who was twenty-three or four years old is now nearly thirty, but the years have not left any mark on her face. The next trace, in addition to her plump body, she became more beautiful, but she also became more and more dependent on Tang Yu. During the time she stayed in Japan, if she didn't often talk to Tang Yu on the phone, she didn't know if she would be able to do it. Stay.
For her, the boy who rescued her from the fire pit five years ago was everything in her life and her biggest reliance in the rest of her life. Without Tang Yu, she could not imagine how she should survive in this world.
