Chapter 573 Year-end Summary

"Boss, you are so rich that you accepted the investment from the group."

"It's another group fight..."

When the news came that Hangcheng, the headquarters of Alibaba, was so high that it accepted the group's shareholding, accounting for 28%, Boss Ma's expression instantly turned ugly.

From Lashou.com to UC.

Each of the companies I invested in suffered losses at the hands of Pin Tuan. Now that the target company has been robbed again, I am definitely feeling angry.

Ali has been famous for a long time, has reaped the dividends of the times, and has developed extremely rapidly.

But I never expected that the rising star would be so fierce, which made Mr. Ma increasingly vigilant.

You know, group buying was really nothing two years ago, but two years later, this website has dominated the entire industry.

In particular, the group supply chain is gradually established, allowing all physical merchants to become their own processors, and their ability to attract money is really getting stronger and stronger.

He is the one selling the vegetables, and the merchants who buy the vegetables and go back to do business still have to pay a share to the platform.

In this mode, the strength of the group will become stronger and stronger.

What worries Mr. Ma the most is not the supply chain + platform eating-from-both-ends model, but its self-operated brands, which are carefully selected in groups.

To be honest, group-buying and strict selection have already entered the e-commerce field that has been banned by Alibaba.

After all, it operates its own business online and also delivers goods, especially the delivery route that cooperates with community group purchases. The delivery within the same city is already very mature.

When it comes to building an e-commerce platform, Mr. Ma is not afraid of anyone, not even Jingdong.

But if Tuan Tuan really wants to delve into the e-commerce field in the future, it will indeed be a problem for Mr. Ma.

Why?

Because what the Internet ecosystem has done has always been to use high frequency to defeat low frequency.

High frequency refers to functions with high user usage. Using the traffic of high-frequency functions to drive the development of industries with low usage frequency is the so-called high frequency to beat low frequency.

Today's Internet users have gone further and further on the road to get group tickets when going out for dinner parties.

Coupled with daily special community group buying projects, more and more users will join group buying, and consumers will use group buying more and more frequently.

If one day, there is a software that can deliver food to your doorstep and buy everything online. The key is that everyone really believes that it is genuine and it can deliver it on the same day. That would be very dangerous.

However, it seems that the group-building group has no plans to fully develop the group-building group selection...

Mr. Ma always feels like "I can't allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed", but that person named Jiang really dares to sleep there!

"Now, we really can't break up."

"Alipay is the current development priority. Without group buying, there will be no application scenarios for offline payment."

Mr. Ma was silent for a long time: "There needs to be a product that can restrain group grouping. Otherwise, it will be too passive. How can we break the monopoly of group grouping in the field of life services?"

To be honest, Alibaba has grown to a certain level and needs resources and funds.

If they support any company, it should be prosperous.

Ma always likes people who are in control of everything and is very proud, but this feeling of being powerless makes him very uncomfortable.

The life service field has always been a sector that Mr. Ma attaches great importance to. Even if Lashou completely collapsed, he is still eyeing this field.

But the problem is that every step of the group-building process, from the supply chain to the platform, is strictly guarded.

At the same time, in Alibaba’s investment department, the newly appointed manager Li Changming sat on Lu Zhichuan’s original desk and repeatedly looked at a pile of startup company information.

In recent years, there has been a boom in Internet entrepreneurship. Everyone knows that this field is a gold mine, and they think that they can defraud investors of their money by just digging into it.

This means that investment managers must have a keen eye to find truly valuable entrepreneurial projects among a bunch of gimmicks.

Li Changming was flipping through the pages and saw a project asking for funding, which said "Don't Order Meals When You're Hungry".

He opened it, took a look, and threw it aside.

It’s another project that has no limit to burning money. It’s my first investment since I took office. It’s too risky to bet on such a project.

"..."

In the blink of an eye, time has arrived on New Year's Day, 2011 is completely over, and a brand new 2012 is approaching.

At this time, Linda ushered in another snowfall.

The biting cold wind was raging in the campus, like a whistle, and the snowflakes were flying all over the sky, getting bigger and bigger.

The pine trees standing to the left and right of the cafeteria were bent slightly by the thick snow.

Jiang Qin has been investing again recently and building a headquarters in Shanghai. He always feels like he is being hollowed out, so he has been trying to make money everywhere these days, including Master Cao, Zhang Guangfa, and Song Qin.

Qingqing, Jian Chun and Jiang Tian.

But he doesn't rub against the little rich woman, because subconsciously he feels that the little rich woman belongs to him, so there is no need to rub against her.

"You spend all day eating, why are you so embarrassed?"

"I have no money."

Jiang Qin sat across from the four golden flowers in the third finance class, eating wontons bought by Jian Chun himself, and answered Zhuang Chen in a neutral tone.

Zhuang Chen gave up the postgraduate entrance examination early and planned to start a business as soon as he graduated.

In the last period of his college years, he was also determined to follow the path of aloof and handsome.

Zhuang's aloof male idol doesn't take the initiative to ask Jian Chun out for dinner, but he tries to have some "accidental encounters" every day.

He wouldn't say hello when he met her, but after dinner he would always "accidentally" sit next to Jian Chun.

He wouldn't even talk to Jian Chun when he was sitting next to her, but he would always talk to Song Qingqing, Jiang Tian or Pan Xiu.

To use Zhang Guangfa's words, this is called aloofness? How aloof are you?

Therefore, Jiang Qin came to eat at Four Golden Flowers several times, and every time he saw Zhuang Chen looking at him eagerly.

But at this moment, after hearing Jiang Qin say that he had no money, Zhuang Chen's face was full of ridicule and jealousy.

"Pretending again."

"?"

Jiang Qin turned to look at her: "Why the hell am I pretending to be cool even if I don't have money?"

Zhuang Chen glanced at Jian Chun and spoke again: "If you say you have no money now, you will definitely say you only have a few hundred million left. Is it interesting to do this every day? Do you think you are very humorous?"

"You have so many fucking things to worry about. I might as well tell you the truth, I really have no money this time."

Hearing these words, Zhuang Chen's heart trembled: "Is the group fight encountering another crisis?"

Jiang Qin sighed: "I have invested in several companies, and also bought a piece of land in Shanghai to build a headquarters building with dozens of floors. Of course I have no money after spending so much. Do you think I like to show off? Haha,

shallow."

"..."

After breakfast, Jiang Qin drove away from Linda and walked along the snow-covered streets to the group headquarters.

Under the heavy snow, the headquarters compound is completely white, and there is a snowman piled up in front of the parking area. It looks ugly, and I don’t know whose masterpiece it is.

"Boss, look at the snowman I made!"

“I saw it, it’s awesome!”

Lu Feiyu was at the door with a smile on his face: "Do you see how majestic this snowman is? This is made in your image!"

Jiang Qin: "?"

At this time, Dong Wenhao, who had just returned from Kyoto, covered his face: "I asked you to learn how to flatter people, and you learned this trick?"

"Brother Dong, am I not good at flattering you?"

"Okay, I'm home now..."

At the same time, executives who had returned from various places had gathered in the conference room.

In 2011, group building developed rapidly, so the year-end summary meeting is still necessary.

Taking out the achievements made this year and putting them on the table is not only a summary of experience, but also an incentive for the future.

The first person to report was Tan Qing, because group building is currently the most important project of the entire company and the most profitable project.

Then there are Dong Wenhao's Zhihu, Lu Feiyu's Toutiao, Wei Lanlan's Wanzhong, Hengtong, Business Gang, and Xu Yu's Jinsunan Investment...

Group-sharing has now captured all the sinking markets, including county towns.

It is no exaggeration to say that today’s group sharing users are spread all over the country.

Among the group buying businesses in small cities, KTV and cinemas attract the largest number of customers.

In first-tier cities, food is king in attracting customers, which also reflects the differences brought about by economic development.

In addition, Hengtong Freight's transportation routes and warehousing construction for the four major first-tier cities have come to an end, and an efficient supply chain has been built.

This plan is the top priority for the later development of the group, and it certainly cannot be limited to the four first-tier cities.

In 2012, the group-joining supply chain business will also begin to move towards target cities based on the volume of group-buying orders.
To be continued...
