Chapter 933 It is impossible to engage in Taobao in 1995
"I can't think of a way!" Mahua Teng gave up.
In fact, with Mahua Teng's ability, if you give him a day, maybe a night, Mahua Teng can think of a solution to the problem.
But Boss Jia only gave Mahua Teng less than half an hour. How could Mahua Teng come up with a way to get an e-commerce platform with only 3 million yuan? Of course, Mahua Teng had no choice but to have no choice.
"I thought it out!" Boss Jia knocked on the table and said with a smile.
"Chairman, you really have a solution!" Mahua Teng widened her eyes and looked at our boss Jia.
"Of course!" Boss Jia smiled slightly, and then said, "It's very simple. We don't do sellers, we just build platforms!"
"Only make a platform!" Mahua Teng was stunned for a moment.
"As I said before, those large supermarkets have never purchased goods by themselves. All the suppliers under him take the initiative to deliver the products to the supermarket for sale, and then check out the goods after they are sold. The supermarket itself does not have to invest any purchase costs. They only need to maintain the supermarket platform to have an entrance fee and can also take a commission from the sales of the products!"
"Similarly, this can also be used in our e-commerce. Our platform does not sell anything. It invites merchants from all over the country and even the world to put their products on our platform. Then the merchants are responsible for the display, sales, communication, etc. of the goods themselves. We only need to master the platform and the intermediate payment for payment, and we collect money from the buyer, and then give the money to the seller, and we can completely control the entire platform!" Boss Jia said lightly.
"Can you do this!" Mahua Teng licked his lips. Following Boss Jia's words, Mahua Teng seemed to see a smooth road appearing in front of him.
"But Chairman, in this case, how to pay, delivery of goods, and ensuring the reputation of the merchant are all a big problem!" Mahua Teng thought for a while and saw that the big problem in Boss Jia's method was revealed.
"This is indeed a problem!" Boss Jia nodded. The difficulties faced by running e-commerce in 1995 were too great. Even Boss Jia would find it difficult to solve this problem.
Because this problem cannot be solved with money, the first dilemma is the payment problem. I believe that many friends who play legends have such memories, that is, at that time, you need to use point cards to play legends, and point cards can only be purchased through various Internet cafes.
This is the biggest problem facing the Internet in this era. That is, before banks enter the Internet era, the turnover of funds online becomes extremely difficult.
You can also use the point card for recharge and payment in the game, but it is impossible for platforms like e-commerce to pass the point card.
In that wilderness, Boss Jia remembered that when Taobao was just born, shopping on Taobao was a very tedious thing, because you need to go to the bank or the post office to transfer money. After 24 hours, a payment will be reached on Taobao’s official account before Taobao will notify the seller to ship the goods.
Speaking of shipping, we face the second difficulty of e-commerce, which is logistics problems.
Although Huaxia Post claims to be able to reach all places in China, if you really rely on Huaxia Post, it is normal for a product to wait for 10 days and half a month, and the probability of losing it is very high. At the same time, according to the arrogance of Huaxia Post, you will lose it if you lose it. At most, you won’t charge your mailing fee, and you won’t even think about it.
Not to mention the postmen of Huaxia Post, their standard configuration is a bicycle full of newspapers. How big do you expect this bicycle to transport?
If the thing is too big, you will get it to the post office in person.
Finally, and the most serious point, the price of Huaxia Post is very touching. The province costs 10 yuan for postage, and it is far less than the discounts of large-scale prices of express delivery companies in later generations. A product costs ten yuan, and those merchants selling small commodities are not worth one-tenth of the postage.
In short, if you want to use the e-commerce routines in 2020 in China in 1995, you will be farting. At least it will take around 2004 to move closer to the e-commerce you remember.
"So the second suggestion I give you is not to think about building a large supermarket online. You have to specialize in online sales of large-scale raw materials and goods!" Boss Jia finally touched his nose and said, "After your mall is established, the primary goal is the enterprise. You must reach a cooperative relationship with all domestic companies, put their products in the mall, and then let other companies go beyond the middlemen and directly choose the cheapest and most affordable manufacturers among all merchants in the country to buy goods!"
"Manufacturer to manufacturer!!" Mahua Teng's eyes lit up instantly.
Yes, if it is the manufacturer to the manufacturer, then everything will not be a problem.
First of all, manufacturers often transfer money through banking. For them, transfer money through banking is a common thing. Moreover, the boss doesn’t have to do it personally. He just needs to take the finances of his subordinates. The boss only needs to click a little computer and web page in the office, which is very comfortable, which is equivalent to online payment.
At the same time, because of the procurement between enterprises, the amount of goods is very huge. You can directly take freight without the need to pass the post and ask a truck to transport the goods. The freight cost will naturally drop, and some people will deliver the goods to their doorsteps. At present, the two biggest pain points of e-commerce have been solved.
At the same time, companies also have great demand for such e-commerce websites. Nowadays, Chinese companies basically take the path of small profits but quick turnover, and winning with prices.
For private enterprises, reducing costs as much as possible, only one cent per kilogram can ultimately bring a lot of profits, so they attach great importance to cheap production raw materials.
But there are so many companies across the country, and it is not realistic to expect them to call one by one to ask about the prices. If there is really an online mall that can place the raw material prices of various manufacturers across the country directly on the Internet, and the price can be sorted from low to high with a click of the mouse. This is undoubtedly terrifying to the company's attractiveness!
In fact, many people know that the group behind Taobao is called Alibaba, but they don’t know that Alibaba was actually the name of an e-commerce platform at the beginning.
After Ma Yun failed to make the Chinese Yellow Pages, he slept on firewood and tasted gall, and then created the Alibaba website.
Although this website is also an e-commerce website, it is a website specifically targeting companies and doing business. As a result, Alibaba earned more than one billion yuan in one year by relying on commissions in transactions. In four years, the company's total assets would exceed tens of billions. Otherwise, it would not have the money to create Taobao, a platform that was extremely expensive in the early stage.
Not to mention that there is still money to talk to the bank, it has created something like Alipay that breaks the rules.
"Thank you, Chairman, for your accomplishment!" Mahua Teng said excitedly.
Chapter completed!
