374. Between Men

Compared with the glory created by later generations of bargaining nets, what is the current investment?

As a veteran, Li Yifan knows that the reputation of this website after more than ten years is not comparable to that of foreign countries, but in China, the annual transaction volume of this website can easily exceed one trillion yuan.

Although the bargaining network at that time was adopting a no-charge model, such a transaction scale was formed. Just the cooperation with banks every year and the advertising placement of advertisers on this website could easily exceed 10 billion yuan in annual inputs.

So now, let alone investing 50 million, even if you invest 500 million, Li Yifan will recognize it.

And now only a few people realize the power of e-commerce, and many people don’t even value it, or they don’t understand what e-commerce is.

Ten years have been enough for e-commerce to bring a revolutionary change to the current business operation model.

The current domestic Internet model is not yet mature, and private computers are still high-end products, and have not yet truly entered thousands of households.

In three years, with the development of electronic technology, private computers are no longer expensive products. When it began to enter thousands of households, it was time for the real C2C model to develop vigorously.

After entering that era, the net from the c2c model will see several or even dozens of times each year, and that is the time to truly gain both fame and fortune.

So as long as you endure for a few years and wait for a bumper harvest, compared with the sky-high profits at that time, any investment is worth it now.

However, if you want to usher in a great harvest in a few years, there is another very important premise, that is, you must continue to fight the current eBay website. Only by putting it down can you find a bargain in the future.

EBay is not so active now. Now it is the pioneer of e-bay, the overlord of the international c2c industry, and the Americans are rich and powerful. They have money in their hands. At this stage, it is the most critical time for both parties to compete for funds and internal consumption.

Whoever can stand up in the early stage and force the other party out of this market will be able to obtain the biggest part of the victory in a few years.

In my previous life, when c2c e-commerce was developing in China. If Li Yifan remembered correctly, in the first few years, EBay was actually suppressing the bargaining network founded by Wang Teng.

Even in 2003, Wang Teng took out 100 million yuan in high-profile manner and announced that he had entered the c2c industry and established a bargaining network, they failed to get any advantage from eBay.

After all, eBay is the first c2c website in China. And with the financial support of Americans, they have been operating in this field for many years and laid a very solid foundation. There are many registered merchants and fixed consumers, which are all the results of their cultivation in the early stage of the market.

Although Juebain and YiBay were once bayonet-like and fought happily, the two sides had been entangled for many years before they decided to win.

There are two factors that are the most critical. One of them is the policy of free merchants adopted by Jumping.com, that is, we will not charge any fees whenever we open a store on our website.

EBay, on the other hand, adopted a charging system, which was exactly this seemingly inconspicuous policy that eventually became the key to the outcome of both sides.

The Americans were too greedy and prepared to eat mutton before they could fatten the sheep. Another thing was that they were really muttering about the sensitivity of Chinese people to cost prices.

The second factor is that Americans should be in trouble. Who made their financial giants cause the financial crisis a few years later?

This led to the tightening of e-bay's capital chain at that time and its assets also shrank sharply. In the end, eBay's competition with the domestic bargaining network had already reached a disadvantage. In the end, the Americans had to kill Ma Su in tears and sell eBay.

After that, the c2c commercial websites in China became the dominant pattern of picking up the net.

When Li Yifan thought of the ever-changing shopping mall and battlefield more than ten years later, he was excited. The more he invested now, the more he would get in the future. So when Wang Teng and his friends wanted to invest another 50 million, he agreed without hesitation.

But when he asked Wang Teng how much he planned to invest this time, Wang Teng was a little embarrassed.

It turns out that although Wang Teng has made a lot of money in the past two years, all of this money has been invested in the expansion of the Forty Thieves websites. Now he wants to invest additional investment in the net, but he really doesn’t have much money in his hands. The total total is only more than 10 million. Compared with the 50 million that Li Yifan has to invest, it is really a witch.

"What's wrong? Brother Wang, you are not very convenient at hand?"

Li Yifan looked at Wang Teng's expression and guessed it. After all, Wang Teng is now just Wang Teng at the beginning of his business, and he is not the one who has changed his mind in the future and worth billions.

Now both of his websites are developing rapidly, and there are places where money is used everywhere. It is really difficult for him to take out so much at once.

"Well, Brother Li, I'm going to tell you, Brother Wang, I'm really a donkey dung egg now. I look very glorious and can be called a successful entrepreneur anywhere. But to be honest, I really don't have much money in my pocket now! All the money earned by the forty thieves was thrown into this company. I've gathered together on the side of the pick-up website, and I've only raised more than 10 million..."

Speaking of this, Wang Teng's face looked very awkward.

It turned out that when he founded this website for picking up the bargain website, at the beginning, he only produced technical strength and his team, which were considered as the company's assets. In terms of startup capital, he relied on Li Yifan's 30 million yuan, so how much money he paid for every money he paid.

At that time, the two divided the shares of the company by 50% and he felt that it was still acceptable at that time. After all, Li Yifan just came up with a few ideas and got the money, but the specific operation and execution of the company depended on his own team. Adding his own team is worth the price.

Now that the company has been developing for more than a year, although it is a little famous, it is still early to make a profit. Now it still needs to invest additional investments. I can’t afford to pay, and I still have to invest 50 million in it. If Li Yifan invests this 50 million, how should the company’s shares be divided?

To be honest, Wang Teng is also a person with a strong desire for control, otherwise he would not have been so tough when negotiating financing with investment institutions on the top 40 thieves websites.

He also handled this liability net with one stroke. He really didn't want to lose control of this company just like that. Although Xiao Li didn't come to the company or interfere in politics at all, he still didn't want to lose the shares of this company. After all, he was very optimistic about the prospects of this company.

Seeing Wang Teng's awkward expression, Li Yifan understood why he was embarrassed. To put it bluntly, this elder brother Wang wanted to pay for it himself, but he didn't want to lose his equity in the company.

It seems like he is a bit of a loss without losing money, but Li Yifan thought that since the establishment of this Internet company, he has never shown him a few times in the company, let alone the company's operation and management. And it may be like this in the future for a long time. He will not participate in the company's operations, and what he is waiting for is only future gains.

It’s like a man who sowed the seeds at the beginning, but when the child was born, he ran away. For twenty years, the mother had been raising her hands and feet. When the child grew up, the man came back to enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren and became a cheap father. This seemed a bit immoral.

So it’s nothing to invest more at this time. At least, it can make people like Wang Teng who are obsessed with the company’s management feel a little more balanced.

Thinking of this, Li Yifan smiled and said to Wang Teng.

"Brother Wang, if you have difficulties at hand, then this time it will be like this. This time, I will invest 50 million, and I will invest, so don't worry about it. Then the shareholding ratio of our two parties will remain unchanged. I think the development model of this bargaining network may not be able to make a profit in a few years, and I have to continue to invest money in it. Let's do this. By the next year, I will not invest. You will invest next year, and then our shares will continue to remain unchanged. What do you think?"

Li Yifan's generousness made Wang Teng a little surprised and moved.

Nowadays, where can you find someone who invests 50 million to spend money on you and doesn’t have a penny of interest? If it weren’t for the fact that people were sincere, then would you be a buddy or a good friend? What would you do with such good things?

And even if you are a good buddy and good friend, if it is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, you may not be skeptical about you, but this is fifty million. If you put it in the bank, you will have millions of interest per year, but this is how they took it out, and you don’t ask for more shares with yourself. This friendship... "

"Yifan, stop talking about anything, everything else is here..."

Although he was not as old-fashioned as tears in his eyes, Wang Teng's eyes were also shiny at this time, and he didn't say anything boldly, he just patted his chest...

Sometimes there is really no need for too many languages ​​among men...

"Haha, Brother Wang, if you want to thank me, then I would like to ask you to manage our website well. If you can get enough dividends for me, it will be better than anything else..."
