Chapter 728 Teach Jack Ma to make money

Seeing Jack Ma standing dumbfounded on the spot, Lu Yiming quickly said: "You don't have to be too happy, this matter about me..."

Jack Ma almost cried: "Mr. Lu, look at my expression, do I look happy?"

eBay’s current market value is nearly 30 billion U.S. dollars, while Alibaba’s current valuation is a fraction of others!

For Majek, this battle cannot be said to be an adult beating a child. The gap between the two sides is simply an elephant and an ant.

Lu Yiming laughed and said jokingly: "What? Are you ready to surrender?"

Jackma said: "That's not the case. I'm just thinking, if it's like what you said, how can I survive and defeat them?"

Now, eBay has already made him miserable. If a more powerful eBay comes along, even if he doesn't raise his hands and surrender, he will probably be able to survive.

Jack Ma is not a person who gives up easily. He can lose and die, but he cannot surrender.

As Alibaba's major shareholder, Lu Yiming certainly doesn't want Alibaba to die. He said: "I carefully studied eBay's trading model and found that they have a fatal flaw, and that flaw is eBay's biggest weakness.

It’s also our only chance to win.”

Jack Ma hurriedly asked: "What defect?"

Lu Yiming said with a fair face: "This guy actually collects money from sellers who open stores on their platform!"

"ha?"

Jack Ma thought he heard wrongly.

"Is this considered a flaw?"

At this time, he had not yet completed his own Dragon Field Enlightenment, and he did not yet know the terrible tactic of "free".

Lu Yiming said angrily: "Of course forget it! I came to your platform to open a store to give you face, to think highly of you, and to bring you traffic. Even if you don't give me money, you actually ask me to charge you! You think this is reasonable

?”

Jack Ma: "..."

He took a deep breath, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"so?"

"So I think that as an e-commerce platform, no matter whether it is a buyer or a seller, we should not charge transaction fees. This will definitely be very attractive to sellers, and if the seller makes more money, the goods will naturally

It becomes cheaper, attracting more buyers.”

Jack Ma finally realized what was wrong. He spread his hands and said, "Then how do we make money?"

If it doesn’t charge buyers or sellers, then whose money does the website charge?

The construction, operation, and maintenance of the platform all require investment.

Lu Yiming said: "You can make profits by relying on value-added services such as 'store promotion' and 'credit card payment'. Compared with directly charging transaction fees, this method is obviously more recognized by merchants. Credit card services have service fees.

Well, basically one in a thousand, don’t think it’s small. As long as it scales up, this is a very objective number. There are so many display windows on the homepage of the website, right? It’s just like the display screen in a large shopping mall. If you want to be on it

Is it reasonable to pay money to display the products of your own store?”

The more Lu Yiming spoke, the brighter Jackma's eyes became. When Lu Yiming finished speaking, he couldn't help but applaud: "Wonderful, it's really wonderful! If we open the store for free, we will definitely attract many, many people to come to us.

Opening a store here has greatly enriched the product types and quantity of our website. If the seller has zero cost to open a store, the price of the goods can also be lowered. The more stores are opened, the cheaper the goods are, the more people will visit Taobao.

!”

Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said: "That's the truth. As long as there are more people visiting Taobao, more people will come to Taobao to open stores, and the competition will be more intense. They will start a price war among themselves to keep the price down. The price will drop.

In order to benefit consumers, more people will visit Taobao. As long as all online shoppers are attracted to Taobao, won’t eBay die suddenly?”

Jackma laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, that's the truth!"

Seeing that Jack Ma finally opened the door to sin, Lu Yiming raised his lips slightly and said, "It's free for individual sellers to open a store. We can charge brand merchants. For example, we can open a special logo section for them and mark it as official.

label, if they open up their operating rights a little more, they can’t just obediently pay for it?”

Jackma worried: "If brand merchants move in, wouldn't the customers of individual sellers who open stores be taken away by the brand merchants?"

For the same product, if one is sold in a canteen and the other is sold in a specialty store next door, which one will the buyer choose? The specialty store must be more secure.

Lu Yiming said calmly: "What does this have to do with you? They will figure it out on their own. You can give individual sellers one year, and the brand store will open after one year. Now is the best era for Taobao, give them one year

If they can't break out of the tight siege in time, they will have no one to blame if they are eliminated."

"hiss……"

Jack Ma took a deep breath.

He once again felt how terrifying Lu Yiming was.

This Lu Yiming really mastered the catfish effect!

Later, Lu Yiming said: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to talk to you about, which is payment software. You know, didn't I get Alipay before? I want to cooperate with Alibaba to make Alipay and Taobao

They can communicate with each other.”

At this time, Majek had realized the importance of payment software.

However, Lu Yiming himself is the major shareholder of Alibaba, and under Lu Yiming's operation, Alipay has gained a high reputation and has been accepted by many Internet users, making him completely unable to refuse.

After thinking about it, Majek finally set out his conditions: "It's okay to embed Alipay into Taobao, but I don't accept exclusivity, which means I can't force users to use Alipay as the only means of payment."

Obviously, Jack Ma has not given up yet when it comes to payment software. He still wants to compete with Lu Yiming.

"Of course, how could I force the user? Do you think I look like that kind of person?"

Regarding fair competition, Lu Yiming is not hypocritical at all.

After all, with his successful experience in developing and operating Paypal, it would be extremely difficult for Jack Ma to make a breakthrough in payment software.

Under his operation, Alipay can now completely connect e-commerce, games, social networking and other fields, achieving true "one-click interoperability" and "one-click payment", so that its users no longer need to download a

There are a lot of payment software and you need to register four or five accounts.

In the previous life, this was something that no Internet tycoon had ever done, but now Lu Yiming has done it easily.

After all, at this time, Lu Yiming had already acquired QQ and invested in Alibaba. Through Future Capital and various financial means, his influence continued to penetrate into every corner of the Internet.

The next day, Majek announced the “strong alliance” between Taobao and Alipay.

With the addition of Alipay users, the number of registered Taobao users has also experienced an astonishing increase. This incident finally made Ma Jack feel a lot better.

The services provided by Alipay are still very attractive to Taobao buyers. After all, they have been worried about what to do if they cannot get the goods after paying.

There is no need to worry now. According to the solution provided by Alipay, the buyer transfers the payment to the third-party account provided by Taobao, and then pays the payment to the seller after confirming receipt of the goods.

Both parties are very satisfied!

After the cooperation signing ceremony, a reporter asked: "Mr. Lu, you traveled to North America in July and after selling your PayPal to eBay, your assets increased by another 10 billion. Is this true?"

Jack Ma next to him was so jealous that he ran away. He was extremely envious. Ten billion, when will he earn so much money?

Lu Yiming corrected him humbly: "Where is the 10 billion? It's not that exaggerated. It's all rumors. In fact, it's only more than 9 billion. It's just the money to buy a few private jets. It's nothing."

"Mr. Lu, it is said that you only invested 30 million US dollars at the beginning. In less than two years, the value of this asset has increased dozens of times. How do you feel about this?"

"To me, this result is just average. There is nothing to be proud of, so I have no feelings at all."

reporter:"……"

Jack Ma: "..."

As soon as the report came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

Zhong Hai, Zhao Bin and Luo Yongjie were furious when they saw the news published in the newspaper.

Watching "the enemy" Lu Yiming make money is even more uncomfortable than them losing money.

Zhao Bin said very unhappily: "Why is it so easy for this guy named Lu to make money? He always puts billions or tens of billions into his pockets. Even if his family runs a banknote printing factory, they can't do it that fast."

After all, the Zhao family is one of the top wealthy families, and making money is actually not difficult for Zhao Bin.

After all, as long as he is interested in a business, few people dare to compete with him. It is easy to make three to five billion yuan a year.

In the past, Zhao Bin thought that this was success, and people who did this would be very popular.

Keren, I'm just afraid of comparison.

Compared with Lu Yiming's annual income of several billions to tens of billions, his annual profits of three to five billion suddenly don't sound good.

Luo Yongjie thought for a while, suddenly enlightened, and took the opportunity to suggest: "If nothing else, Lu Yiming's investment vision is really good, so let's invest directly with him, and we will invest in whatever he likes! I heard that he recently

I am interested in the Delong series, but I have not yet reached an agreement on the price with the Tang brothers. I think we can join forces and become the first to invest in the Delong Group."

Zhao Bin's eyes also lit up: "Yes, since he is so good at making money, then we will invest in whatever he is optimistic about. It is always okay for him to make big money and we to make small money, right? If he makes ten billion, it will not be a problem for us to make several billion."

.But are you sure this is reliable?"

Luo Yongjie said without hesitation: "Absolutely reliable. Tang Wanli is a person who can directly participate in local economic decision-making discussions. Relationships are more important than connections. How many people in the business world are his opponents? Not to mention the development of the Delong Group in recent years.

That is obvious to all, and it is actually too late for us to get on the bus now."
