Sikong Ling gave a few minutes of business in the Twitter company group and took Ai Zixuan out of the office building.

When Ai Zixuan passed by Duanmu Ming's office, she saw a sign of "DeputyCEO" hanging at the door. When she left outside, she couldn't help but say, "You dare to let Xiao Ming be CEO? Are you afraid that he will take revenge on you?"

Sikong Ling laughed: "I'm not afraid of the US President, why are you afraid of Xiao Ming doing?"

Ai Zixuan: "I think Xiao Ming is not a sinister person, but... well, you have the courage."

Sikong Ling: "Will Ying Zheng be afraid of Wang Jian, Bai Qi? Will Liu Che be afraid of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing? My current prestige is not afraid of anyone, of course, it's just in the United States. When I return to the PRC, a minion can wink me. The United States is separated by three powers, checks and balances, and there is also the supervision of news and free, which should be considered the fourth type of power. I am the king of new online media, and the position of speakers of the US president, the Supreme Court, and the Senate and the House of Representatives. Hey, I have a nickname called [Young King] on Twitter, do you know?"

Ai Zixuan gave him a blank look: "You are so beautiful! The Young King just complimented you for being brave. If you really treat yourself as a dish, be careful of being eaten! This time you lit a fire in the White House, I see how you ended up!"

They sat in the Mercedes S600, and Sikong Ling was still thinking about where to go? The most wanted to go to a place with few people, such as Baylands Nature Reserve, and so on. They got close to the heroine, but they were afraid that they were too impatient. It was not good to go to a fun place first.

Stanford is a place with a humanistic and artistic atmosphere, not just a holy place for science, engineering, medicine, and scientific research industrialization. Sikong Ling was unconsciously influenced by Stanford culture and actually knew about places like PaloAlto Art Center.

The western United States is quite influenced by Mexican culture, because several states were originally Mexico's territory. Some of them bought them and some snatched them. In short, there is still the shadow of Mexico.

The PaloAlto Art Center had a free course on teaching the production of Mexican handicrafts on that day. The clumsy siblings also pretended to be mixed with a group of adults and children to learn to observe.

Mexican handicrafts can be divided into three categories: the first is daily necessities, such as clothing, utensils, toys and containers; the second is decorations, such as paintings, jewelry, sculptures, etc.; the third is objects that can deeply reflect cultural heritage, such as masks, traditional musical instruments, special sculptures and clothing.

The main materials for making these world-famous handicrafts are: soil, wax iron, metal, wood, porcelain, talawel porcelain, glass, silk spinning, palm leaves, wax and leather, etc.

Their goal is to make an authentic, colorful ink-style dress, full of childlike fun, cute and funny.

The new immigrant teacher obviously recognized Zero and enthusiastically guided him in strange English, which made him clumsy and made a colorful dress that looked quite authentic, showing off to the children.

Sikongling likes these craftsmen very much, especially this passionate one. Although he does not say he has no desires or demands, he is truly immersed in a strange world of various shapes and colors, which makes people admire and envy.

Perhaps the aesthetics of foreigners are really different from those of Chinese people. In the eyes of Chinese people, a beautiful girl like Ai Zixuan is so horrible that she wants to roll on the ground. They just praised her and seemed to be more interested in Zero. Finally, the teacher showed her fox tail. He said that he and his friends wanted to sell handicrafts online and asked Zero how to make a website.

Looking at their expectant eyes, Zero couldn't bear to refuse. He thought for a while, and had an idea and said, "Why don't you sell it on eBay?"

Teacher Moyi listed all kinds of bad things about eBay and Amazon. Their exquisitely made handicrafts were completely buried in a bunch of vulgar objects, the classification was unreasonable, the display method was not good, the atmosphere was not appropriate, etc.

The most impressive sentence he said was: "You can imagine what a comparison is like for a website composed of knitted goods, household utensils, furniture, toys, and objects completely made by us. Ours will take away your heart and make you forget that you are buying things, welcome to the world of art! Welcome to the world of art! Welcome to be lost in the world of art!"

Zero was thinking about how to help these craftsmen. Ai Zixuan interrupted: "Don't you have an iSoft project that specializes in making commercial software for people? It's best to let people from this department do this kind of project. I like these weird handicrafts very much. With them, life is much richer and more exciting."

Zero smiled and said, "This is what you understand iSoft, so SaaS plan is made into commercial software by you and the Monk. But I don't care. Anyway, commercial software can cultivate a large number of talents who use Ujs. In fact, iSoft is a good general software, and then sells it to commercial users through service methods, charging monthly and annual fees. It is a general platform, like a customer relationship management CRM, not a customized software for others. Another reason I don't care about you is that I think maybe the time to do SaaS in China is not yet ripe. People like Murong Chuan are not used to putting data in our computer room, and they must put it in their own company."

He turned to the artist teacher: "Do you want to build an online store that sells your own goods, or do you want to build a large platform that sells handicrafts?"

Artist: "It's a platform, like eBay, but it's just based on crafts. I'm learning Ujs. I heard it's the best to learn the most powerful language. I've learned it for a while and I don't have the confidence. It would be great if Zero could give me some guidance."

Zero listened carefully to their ideas about making a website and felt that it was a bit good, so he asked them to have time to go to Twitter's headquarters for details.

The e-commerce platform for handicrafts is a branch of e-commerce. Zero originally didn't want to develop in the direction of e-commerce because it already has a lot of investment in SNS and search. If you enter the big market of e-commerce, you may not be able to do it. Amazon's Bezos is very vigilant about vertical e-commerce. He will acquire one if he grows bigger. He is also very vigilant about the user of books, film and television to generate content system websites. He would rather spend a lot of money than let any change in his e-commerce empire. This method is comparable to Google. No matter how strong and confident Zero is, he is not willing to attract Go at the same time.

The powerful firepower of ogle and Amazon. Google is currently quite alert to BING, which has Twitter’s largest customer. Zero is still holding Overture’s click-through patent stick. Page has been willing to take out a considerable portion of Google’s equity to obtain Overture’s patent authority more than once, and it is almost catching up with the founder’s share. If Zero is willing to accept Google’s acquisition of Overture, it will probably become one of the three giants in Google. This is the result that Page wants most.

Unfortunately, search is too profitable and strategic. Zero wants to dominate the supreme business of the Internet, and the scary prospect of making a net profit of 10 billion yuan every year. How many human dreams can be realized? It is best not to even go public, so that the whole world knows that Zero has made a lot of money, but I don’t tell you how much it has made.

As for Bezos's e-commerce empire, it looks very awesome. In fact, after many years of operation, it still often shows ridiculous financial reports of negative revenue, and is even worse than China's Alibaba. The essence of General E-commerce is to desperately reduce costs and sell bargains. In Bezos' business philosophy, e-commerce business is not only like Walmart, but almost like specialty supermarkets opened in the suburbs.

Amazon itself is already uncomfortable enough, why bother Bei Ye?

However, the artwork eBay is something that Sikong Zero is interested in, and there are not many things that make him purely interested rather than interested in his profits.

To do e-commerce, you have to do it well. It is also a sense of accomplishment to let Bei Ye look at it. Sikong Ling has several thoughts in his mind, and the first is payment. Alipay’s products that play the role of “intermediary guarantee” are not the most important in the United States. In the integrity society, credit cards are widely used, but not most merchants are qualified to become credit card merchants. This has a certain threshold. If these small merchants use the payment platform, they can charge about 2%. Facts have proved that there are a large number of small e-commerce and network businesses that require a third-party payment tool like PayPal. Facts have also proved that eB

ay has never gained a position like Taobao in China in the United States. eBay's transactions are mainly second-hand transactions between individuals, and Taobao has become the trading platform for most Chinese online merchants. eBay has not yet acquired PayPal, which accounts for about half of their transaction payments. They have not yet figured out why third-party payment is a big business. They also did a very stupid thing, and after acquiring Billpoint, a third-party payment, it immediately closed its service to small merchants. If the e-commerce platform is done well, it will be a mouth-watering big business.

The second idea is to do logistics. E-commerce is an emerging thing. Logistics companies have not yet realized the service of e-commerce, so the ultimate fate of a good e-commerce company always has to do logistics by themselves. To build a large e-commerce platform, you must have supporting logistics, and even the logistics of the platform can be more wonderful than Amazon, so that you can have the opportunity to achieve e-commerce hegemony. How to create a high-quality logistics system in the fastest time? There are two solutions. The first is to cooperate with convenience stores. If you can successfully convince multinational chain convenience stores, such as 7-ELEVEN, CircleK, FamilyMart, Ministop, SPARExpress, etc., not only will the quantity increase, but the security

The problem has been solved and the location selection problem has also been solved. Convenience stores are always open in transportation passenger flow hubs such as gas stations, subways, commercial centers, and residential centers. Moreover, the multinational chain is well-known and has good service, which complements high-quality e-commerce brands. The second solution is to make smart self-pickup express boxes, which are a bit like the luggage storage box that is often seen in large supermarkets. You can store and retrieve items by just entering the PIN code. This solution can greatly reduce the number of grassroots employees hired, and can also serve 24 hours a day, and even send them from small businesses and individuals. The design of the box itself is very important, and it is most appropriate to let the slutty skilled man who does TwitterCafe be responsible.

The third idea is the e-commerce platform itself. This does not require any creativity. For small e-commerce companies, just give them some templates to open stores on the platform. Sikongling really wants to call this platform iStore, but this style of naming makes him a little aesthetically tired. If he does too much and Jobs is unwilling to use it, then his iPhone and iOS will be ruined. Large and medium-sized e-commerce companies only need to provide them with payment and logistics solutions. By the way, they can also add marketing solutions to attract some customers to Twitter and BING.

Ai Zixuan looked at Sikong Ling absent-mindedly, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning, sometimes blinking, and sometimes remembering Murong Bingxue's comments on him: When he gets busy, he won't remember anyone. Yes, even if he walks by his side, he can be forgotten by him. She also a little convinced that Sikong Ling may have really not betrayed GF for so long. It's not that he is so noble, but that he has a strong career and has inadvertently forgotten the "small things" of falling in love.

But he did not forget her after all. After thinking through the ideas, he told Ai Zixuan his great plan with great enthusiasm.

Big search, big social networking, cloud platforms, and e-commerce platforms are really great geniuses in the Internet era.

Ai Zixuan praised: "The prospects are so beautiful. I didn't expect that the slight stimulation of a handicraft website will inspire you to be so enthusiastic about e-commerce. If you don't have to go to jail, you will have the opportunity to show your skills."

Sikong Ling: "...I love to splash cold water so much. The only bad thing about this plan is that I may not be busy. Twitter is fine, and there are no opponents. Google is a very cruel opponent in terms of search. According to inside reports, they are planning to socialize. They are currently stronger than my little BING, both VCs and talents. My little BING relies on Overture to absorb Google's blood and barely fight."

Ai Zixuan: "Can I... help you?"

Sikong Ling said suspiciously: "You? You are my woman, not my employee, and it will be no fun if you become my subordinate."

Ai Zixuan was furious: "Who is your woman? Do you think I am just a vase that can't do anything? I want to be Wei Qing, Huo Qubing!"

Sikong Ling: "You should be my Wei Zifu..."

Ai Zixuan would not give up easily what she wanted to do and said, "You ask me to try it! How can I know that I am great if you haven't tried it?"

Sikong Ling smiled evilly and said, "I'll try your awesomeness tonight!"

Ai Zixuan kicked him and said, "Get out, beast, I have to do something too. In fact, I always think that my IQ is not bad, but I just don't have a chance. Give me a chance!"

They walked on the refreshing and bright streets of Palo Alto, speaking Mandarin unscrupulously, sometimes discussing big plans, sometimes flirting. It feels completely different from being with Zi Jiang and Xue Jiang. Zi Jiang has a lot of ideas, ambitiousness, and courage. Xue Jiang is a soft girl who enjoys life. All the tiring and hard things like making money are left to men to worry about. The only thing she wants to do is to dress up beautifully every day, softly autumn waves and sweet voices, so that men will completely forget the trivial matters around them.

There is cool breeze in summer and snow in winter, one is fresh summer breeze and the other is crystal clear snow, which is really hard to distinguish.

Ai Zixuan took the initiative to propose: "Isn't that 7-ELEVEN from Japanese? I can speak Japanese, just so I'll go to negotiate with him."

Sikong Ling thought this was quite difficult and said, "Okay, if you really do this, it proves that you can make a living in the mall. What resources are needed, it is still very important. Don't let me down, otherwise you will always be a vase in my eyes."

Ai Zixuan: "I need one title, not two titles."

Sikong Lingqi said: "Title? Or two?"

Ai Zixuan: "Don't think wrongly. One is this kind of box, and it should be called TwitterBox. With the popularity of Twitter, I can only get the attention of 7-ELEVEN. There is another title, which is this store platform, which should be called TwitterStore, and it also relies on Twitter's popularity. It is not in vain to be famous. My title cannot be too cold. Give me a domineering position."

Sikong Ling: "Boss, is this position domineering?"

Ai Zixuan: "Go! Are you talking about serious things."

Sikong Ling: "It's serious... TwitterStore, it sounds like a small store, isn't very good."

Ai Zixuan: "TwitterMall, isn't it domineering enough? You can put anything in the Twitter mall."

Sikong Ling: "Twitter is actually a relatively relaxed entertainment brand. TwitterBox sounds quite light and brisk. It's okay. TwitterMall is not so solemn. Xiaobird's shopping mall? It's obviously not domineering enough. The boss lady thinks about it again."

Ai Zixuan: "Then let's go to TMall, it's simple, more solemn and grand."

Sikong Ling lost his voice: "TMall?"

Ai Zixuan: "What's wrong? The reaction is so big?"

Sikong Ling laughed strangely: "It's okay, it's good, then let's go to TMall. You are the co-founder of TMall. Just open a husband-and-wife store. To be honest, I really don't like you. Look, the delicate beauty, what kind of shopping mall platform is it better to be a virtuous assistant."

Ai Zixuan: "Stop talking nonsense, I am already a co-founder, okay? I don't have money, you have to do it all, I do it all, I want half of the equity."

Sikong Ling: "...so...so overbearing. Tell me how much investment do you want."

Ai Zixuan: "Round A financing of 10 million!"

Sikong Ling: "What a powerful aura, don't talk nonsense. This needs to be investigated. We need to make a good summary."

Sikong Ling thought she was just a few days of enthusiasm, but unexpectedly, in the following days, Ai Zixuan was very dedicated to researching this project. She was responsible for discussing the chain convenience store. Sikong Ling asked Mark, a man who designed Twitter Cafe, to plan TwitterBox. This kind of box requires safety higher than that of supermarkets. In addition to being placed in a convenience store, it is also possible to put it outdoors alone if there is no agreement. It is best to have one or two cabinets that can be placed in special cases.

Don’t have expensive things to ensure the circulation of digital products. It is best to have a few small cabinets that can be made up into large cabinets, because some places are big and some places are small, and the cabinets themselves have multiple specifications, including small, large, long, and even refrigerated ones. It is best to convert flexibly. Not to mention informatization, every time you open and close the cabinet, you must have records and send them directly to the control center. This thing is so fun. Mark received the task and went to study happily and selflessly.

Three Mexican artists also settled in Twitter's office building and established the Artisan website project. This was just a joke project. Sikong Ling temporarily recruited several decent technicians from the Ujs community to cooperate with them.

Asked Paypal for the purchase price, it was as high as 800 million US dollars, and it could not be afforded. Based on the original Overture and DoubleClick, we will do a third-party payment by ourselves, and borrow Twitter's popularity, called TwitterPayment.
