Chapter 34: Help Brother Dong attach his legs
"I will use these machines for a month. If there are no major problems, I will come to you to sign a purchase letter of intent after one month."
Qin Shaoyan took out five bundles of red hundred-yuan bills from his bag and put them on the table. Manager Han's face turned bitter, but it was hard to say anything at this time.
The clerk took out the accessories one by one, and Liu Qiangdong and Zhang Pingyi inspected them personally.
After confirming that there was no problem, Liu Qiangdong asked his own clerk to drive over and take away the machine together with the accessories.
When Liu Qiangdong saw Qin Shaoyan's newly rented office space, he was stunned. Looking at the location and the flow of people around, he felt that the rent was not cheap.
"Xiao Qin, your place is pretty good. Can't you come here if you don't have 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month?"
"This place is spacious and the transportation is convenient. I found out about this place with great difficulty." "Yes." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Brother Dong, please don't follow me. I will carry it up myself."
"Xiao Zhang, go find a hotel and book a private room. I will have a drink with Brother Dong tonight." ."
"Oh." Liu Qiangdong waved his hands quickly, "No need to bother, I have to go back to the store."
"Brother Dong, you must listen to me today. Forget it normally, but not today." Qin Shaoyan was not willing to let him go, so he grabbed Liu Qiangdong's arm and said, "Follow me."
Qin Shaoyan continued The pull was very enthusiastic, and Liu Qiangdong agreed when he saw that he could not refuse.
......
Entering the box, Qin Shaoyan placed Liu Qiangdong on the main seat and poured the wine before the food was served.
“The main purpose of inviting Brother Dong today is for two reasons. One is to thank Brother Dong for helping to buy a computer today.”
"The second one is that I haven't seen you for a long time, brother Dong. It's a good time to catch up on old times."
"Brother Dong, I'll toast you with these three glasses of wine first." After saying this, Qin Shaoyan drank three glasses of wine in a row, his face flushed at the time.
Liu Qiangdong immediately advised: "Drink slowly, drink slowly."
Looking at Qin Shaoyan's drinking posture, Liu Qiangdong felt that Xiao Qin was quite serious.
Putting down his wine glass, Qin Shaoyan looked at Zhang Pingyi and said very seriously: "Actually, the person I admire most is Brother Dong. Brother Dong's conditions for starting a business were worse than ours back then."
"At that time, I remember Brother Dong handing out flyers and advertisements on the street and standing for several hours a day, right."
Liu Qiangdong nodded, seeming to recall the hardships of starting a business back then.
"It didn't take long for Brother Dong to develop from one counter to more than a dozen counters. Can this be an ordinary person?" Qin Shaoyan winked at Zhang Pingyi, "We have to learn from Brother Dong, right? ”
“Ah? ”
Zhang Pingyi didn’t understand what Qin Shaoyan meant and could only vaguely agree.
"That's all in the past." Liu Qiangdong sighed and waved his hand.
"I know that Brother Dong's business has not been going well recently. The counters have been closed because of SARS." Qin Shaoyan said while pouring wine for Liu Qiangdong, "Brother Dong is determined to become a national chain store like Suning." , a lot of ambition."
Qin Shaoyan sighed, "What a pity, the leg of the offline counter was broken with this click."
Zhang Pingyi was stunned, "Ah. Broken?”
“Yes, it’s broken,” Qin Shaoyan said regretfully, “Brother Dong is going online now that he can’t open the counter.”
"What e-commerce?" Liu Qiangdong chuckled, "I just post advertisements online. If someone leaves a message and buys, I will send it to them. It's not an e-commerce."
"Brother Dong is just doing e-commerce for me. I very much agree." Qin Shaoyan gave a thumbs up, "How fast the domestic Internet industry is developing. Look, there is a Taobao website in Lin'an in the south, which is an e-commerce company. This is a blue ocean with a lot of potential." Oh?" Liu Qiangdong was a little surprised, "Xiao Qin, you are optimistic about this too."
"Of course you are optimistic about it," Qin Shaoyan said confidently.
“The number of domestic Internet users has doubled since 2000, from more than 20 million to nearly 80 million this year. In less than five years, this number will triple.”
"The reason why I returned to China for development is that I took a fancy to the domestic development potential. There are vast untapped markets everywhere. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Liu Qiangdong nodded, "I too I think the Internet is very promising, but I don’t understand this. Selling recorders now is barely enough.”
“If you sell it online, you have to have it offline,” Qin Shaoyan said with a sincere face. Brother Dong, you know I just came back from the United States.”
“As for me, I co-founded a social networking site called Facebook with my friends in the United States. The user group is mainly college students. This site has developed very well. Quickly."
As soon as Zhang Pingyi heard this, he turned to look at Liu Qiangdong and found that the other party was listening intently.
Damn it, Boss Qin started lying again.
"Students at school?"
"Yes, and the development speed is simply beyond everyone's expectations." Qin Shaoyan raised three fingers, "One month after this website was launched, the number of online users exceeded 10,000 , it exceeded 100,000 in three months, and the growth rate is still accelerating.”
“Brother Dong, you also know that the domestic Internet has always imitated the American Internet model.”
"When I come back this time, I plan to replicate this student social networking site in the United States and then promote it."
"Oh, that's a good thing." Liu Qiangdong nodded and smiled, "It will be much easier if there are successful examples in front of you."
"Brother Dong, you are not an outsider, I will tell you Let me tell you something." Qin Shaoyan moved to Liu Qiangdong's side, lowered his head and said, "Actually, I'm not just here to make a website. After all, I only make a lot of money from doing it."
"Huh?" Liu Qiangdong was a little surprised, "Then what are you doing?"
"The Internet in the United States and China was a speculation concept at the beginning. They just relied on spending money to build the website and attract users to come in. As soon as the traffic increased, it was immediately hyped and listed. Go and make money from investors.”
“In the end, this method didn’t work, and the bubble burst immediately.” Qin Shaoyan said with a solemn expression, “In the future, when investing in websites, you must first consider where to make profits.”
"These domestic websites have also put a lot of effort into constantly trying out SP business, advertising business, and even games."
"To put it bluntly, what are they trying to do? The road can be profitable, and we are still trying and making mistakes." Qin Shaoyan smiled at this time, "But I am different. I have already found a way to make money, and I have already practiced it in the United States."
This time Liu Qiang. Dong was interested, "What method?"
"It is a business model that takes students as the main consumer group and develops around their needs." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "The consumption limit of the student group is not high, but They have trendy ideas and dare to try new things, and they have a high degree of recognition of new business models.”
“And students actually have a lot of consumption needs, such as entertainment, electronic products, beverages, clothing, shoes and hats, and the overlap is considerable. The quantity is still quite large.”
"The biggest advantage is that students gather on campus most of the time, so logistics and after-sales are more convenient."
The more Liu Qiangdong listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he felt that the business model Qin Shaoyan talked about was quite Not bad, and immediately praised: "Xiao Qin, your money has no limit."
"What is money without money, that will be a matter of the future." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand nonchalantly, "I I didn’t think about anything else just now.”
“How can I connect Brother Dong’s legs?”
“Ah?” Liu Qiangdong was stunned. , why did it involve me?
