373. Financing
Li Yifan's words made Wang Teng's expression solemn. It seemed that the company had developed too smoothly before, which really made him a little fluttered.
The Nasdaq has been so popular in the past two years, and various online concept stocks have made a lot of money in the stock market, but now the Nasdaq momentum seems to be a bit too hot.
If you go in at this time, if the Nasdaq collapses, even if your company is operating well, it will inevitably be affected by the financial market.
Moreover, compared with industry giants like Amazon and Yahoo, their 40 thieves websites are too fragile. If the stocks are really beaten to the end due to market fluctuations, then no one will give you a malicious acquisition with malicious intentions, then the money you earned from the stock market will not be enough to fill the holes yourself. It is very likely that the company that has devoted countless efforts to the company.
When he thought of this, even if the sun shines outside and the temperature is not low, Wang Teng still sweats coldly.
"Well, brother Li, I really have to thank you brother. If you hadn't been shocked, brother, I might have fallen into it now. Our company's current development momentum is good, but it's really a bit early to try it in the financial market!"
Wang Teng, who was already hesitant about whether to let the company go public, heard Li Yifeng's tricks and immediately lost the idea of letting the company go public, and planned to take a look first.
However, if the company does not go public, there is one more thing that will lead Wang Teng to a headache.
"Brother, I'll tell you about this."
Wang Teng's expression on his face was a little embarrassed. Li Yifan knew that this guy must have encountered something difficult to solve again.
"Brother Wang, what is the relationship between us and what are the difficulties we have? Just tell me."
"That's right. Our top 40 thieves have developed well, and the company has turned into a profitable state. However, because the company is facing rapid expansion, we have not paid dividends for the company's profits in the past year, but have continued to invest in the sustainable development and operation of the website. In this way, my hands are a little tight. But now our other company, Juez.com and EBay, are in full swing. Now the competition is very fierce. I guess you know that the Americans are rich and powerful and are overwhelming. If we don't fight with them, I'm afraid that the development of this Juez.com will change in the future..."
Speaking of this, Wang Teng's face looked a little embarrassed. Although he didn't say all the words afterwards, the meaning was already very obvious. He just wanted to ask Li Yifan to see if he still had spare money.
After hearing this, Li Yifan did not react in extreme results. In fact, over the past year, the battle between eBay and JueBit has been seen in the newspapers more than once.
Today he is engaged in product promotions, and tomorrow he will have a discount event. The battle between the two websites is indeed a bit booming.
Now, relying on the 30 million he invested in, he can compete with the wealthy Americans with a strong attitude, which is indeed very good.
But if we continue to fight like this, both sides will inevitably suffer losses in the end. Both sides can only continue to entangle in the market until one side falls completely and the other side takes over the market.
Compared with the forty thieves, Li Yifan is more interested in this net for picking up the bargain. More than ten years later, this net for picking up the bargain is an existence that changes the consumption model of Chinese people.
Consumers across the country can spend hundreds of trillions of dollars on the Internet throughout the year, and they still maintain a growth rate of more than ten percent or even more every year. After more than ten years, this online consumption model will account for 17 or eighteen percent of the domestic consumption quota in China, which shows the bright prospects of this Internet.
So at this time, when Wang Teng mentioned that the funds for the pick-up network might be a little difficult, Li Yifan immediately did not hesitate. If we don’t have money, we can just invest it in it.
Think about it, after E-BAY acquired eBay, it invested hundreds of millions of dollars in activate this website for several consecutive years. Two years after EBay was acquired by E-BAY, Wang Teng entered the C2C market with the 40 thieves. When entering this market and establishing the Fibernet, Wang Teng spent 100 million yuan in funds and announced that the Fibernet was free of charge.
This was how both sides fought for several years. It was not until the financial crisis broke out in the United States that eBay fell completely. Until then, both sides had been inseparable from the fight.
Now E-BAY has seen the consumption potential of the Chinese market. After Jumping.com joined the C2C competition, they have also increased their investment. The scale of eBay's advertising terminals is much larger than in their previous life.
They can see their ubiquitous advertising offensives on TV, newspapers, the Internet, various news media, subway stations, buses and other places, so many of the first experts who tried online shopping know the existence of eBay.
After the birth of the Liverpool Network, it was also very powerful, especially Wang Teng adopted the same strategy as in his previous life, that is, Liverpool Network implemented a policy of free and open to small and medium-sized businesses. In this way, although they did not invest as much in advertising as eBay, the effect was very good.
After all, merchants are profit-seeking, and those who are in such online shopping business are generally not particularly rich people. They have to be careful about costs. Therefore, there are more merchants on the Internet now than eBay. This is the advantage of the Internet.
But compared with eBay, Wang Teng is not as rich as his future generations. The forty thieves are still expanding rapidly. He has just lost the idea of listing the company. In this way, if he wants to continue to fight with eBay, the funds will become a problem.
Although eBay invests a lot in advertising, they still adopt this fee system in terms of business management models. Although Americans have given them a lot of shells, they themselves have certain hematopoietic functions.
But the website of Juebao is not so optimistic. First of all, they do not charge merchants. Secondly, the website has only been established for a year and is still working hard to expand. The level of expansion of the army is not strong. If they continue to fight with EBay like this, they will definitely not be able to fight.
So he had to try to raise funds from outside. Speaking of financing, Wang Teng was much more cautious this time. Compared with those greedy foreign financial institutions, he was obviously more willing to believe Li Yifan, his old friend.
Moreover, the reason why he visited Bincheng this time was that he had a purpose of inspecting the Li family, which was to see if their family's capital was so strong.
After two days of quick visits, he saw the tip of the iceberg of the Li family's strength. As for how great the potential this family has, he really can't figure it out.
Of course, Li Yifan spared no effort to help the net to overcome difficulties. The future future of net to be able to be described as unlimited, so now he is selling his own money, so he has to help the net to survive.
As long as the domestic private computers become popular after 2005, the success of this bargaining network will be just around the corner.
"Haha, what do I think is it? Just tell me how much money Brother Wang is missing?"
Li Yifan didn't care about such a thing at all. Now he has nearly 300 million yuan in working money. By the end of this month, it would be no problem to exceed 300 million yuan.
Although it may cost tens of millions to go to the capital to pave the way for the relationship between the imperial court and finally place an advertisement, and the eldest sister may have to invest another tens of millions or two in the store expansion, but there is still a lot of money left on hand.
Although he has other plans and may also pay back the money, it is definitely an unshirkable obligation for him to use the money to fund the net to pick up the net.
What's more, from last year to now, the nearly 100 million US dollars he had deposited in the Swiss bank, but he didn't move at all. Now that the money is exchanged for RMB, it's more than 800 million. After being left for so long, it's time to think about the way forward.
Seeing Li Yifan agreeing so happily, Wang Teng was happy, but when he thought of the number he wanted, he felt a little nervous again.
"Yifan, there is something I have to let you know that the battle between us and EBay cannot be achieved in a day or two. And judging from the current situation of the Americans, they have made up their minds. This year, I heard that their investment in advertising will continue to increase, and it is very likely to reach 50 million. On our side, the 30 million you gave last year has been almost spent. If we want to fight against the Americans this year, at least we cannot be lower than this number. You know that we started later than EBay, which is our disadvantage..."
In this idea of 50 million, it is really not a small amount. In the era when currency has not been over-issued, this amount can be at least equivalent to 500 million in later generations.
"Is it 50 million? No problem? Brother Wang, how much can you take out? How much are we missing?"
It turned out to be only 50 million, Li Yifan felt relieved. Looking at Wang Teng's expression just now, he thought that he would need at least 300 million to 500 million per mouth.
Wang Teng felt relieved when he saw Li Yifan's indifferent expression. This kid really had the idea!
