Chapter 747: Longevity, Jack Horse Eats the Lord
After the news was broadcast, Luming Mall became famous.
Many people were surprised to find that they could also order appliances online. Not only were the prices cheaper, but they also had door-to-door installation services. They didn’t even have to worry about encountering fake and shoddy products because Luming Mall was self-operated and had the richest man personally doing the work.
guarantee!
The richest man is so rich, so he can’t still sell fake goods to deceive people, right?
As a result, for three days in a row, the number of new registered users of Luming Mall increased sharply. Many elderly people who did not know how to use computers would ask their sons or daughters to help them buy.
There are no middlemen to make the price difference for electrical appliances, so the prices are naturally ridiculously cheap, and the competitiveness cannot be compared with those stores.
Originally, Luming Mall had always maintained a low profile and developed secretly, so it was not well-known. Now that Lu Yiming has personally stepped out to endorse and advertise, how influential is it?
Luming Mall immediately became popular, and the transaction volume was changing every minute and second, which made both Gome and Suning confused, because Luming Mall was actually robbing them of their meat.
After all, we all sell home appliances. If users spend money with me, they will not spend money with you. What we are playing is actually a zero-sum game.
Gome and Suning were immediately furious. They had been in love with each other for so many years, and finally managed to overthrow all other competitors and became the channel dealers that monopolized the entire home appliance market. However, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway and even the stores
No need to open it, it just stunned them all.
At the Suning Mall headquarters, a group of heads gathered urgently and began to discuss how to deal with Luming Mall.
"This Lu Yiming Mall is really hateful. It actually sells household appliances on the website. Users only need to move their fingers to place an order, and it will be delivered to their doorstep and installed. Isn't this taking away our business?"
"Yes, the key point is that the prices of things in Luming Mall are lower than the prices of things in our mall. We really have no advantage."
"Let me tell you, we still have some advantages, right? After all, when people come to our stores, they can see the goods with their own eyes, but they can't see this when placing orders online."
"What do you mean? Luming Mall provides seven days of no-questions-asked returns and a fourteen-day guarantee of replacement. If you don't like the items you buy, they will just call you and take them away. It is no different from the service we provide."
"Are we just going to have to watch Luming Mall conquer the city and usurp our trial production?"
Everyone discussed and discussed, but found that the more they discussed, the more desperate they became. After all, Luming Mall can provide all the services they can provide, but the price Luming Mall offers is something that none of them can afford.
Luming Mall does not need to spend expensive rent in a storefront mall. It only needs a warehouse to store goods, which leaves a lot of money here. Then orders can be completed online, so there is no need to spend money on sales to deceive customers.
, and you can save a lot of money. If you save a little here and there, the cost will beat all the peers, and you can set the selling price very low.
Suning Gome also wanted to start a price war, but according to the total price of Luming Mall, if they really wanted to compete with Luming Mall, they would probably soon become the first in the country to lose money.
The key point is that Luming Mall can still get full discounts, where can you explain this?
The two giants in the Xianxia electrical appliance industry suddenly felt that the world had changed. The advantages they were proud of before were gone in the blink of an eye. Perhaps the only advantage was to buy from their malls.
Things can be purchased and used immediately, and they will be delivered to your home immediately. However, if you buy something at Luming Mall, you may have to wait three or four days to get it.
But what does it matter? Things in Luming Mall are cheap.
Ordinary people's time is not valuable, and this does not waste any time. It is just the simplest form of delayed gratification. Making money is a real hard work. You can buy something at Luming Mall for hundreds of dollars cheaper.
Although it takes three or four days to wait, how many people work hard for three or four days and still cannot earn these hundreds of dollars.
What's more, shopping at Luming Mall will not delay work and study.
Some people are willing to exchange time for money, but most people's time is worthless and cannot be exchanged for money.
As the saying goes, watching the excitement is not too big a deal, and soon people on the Internet began to brag about Luming Mall, posting on the forum, arresting the two chain entities and whipping their corpses like crazy.
In physical stores, the shopping experience varies greatly due to differences in the quality of employees. If you encounter someone with poor quality, the shopping experience will be a disaster.
With so many stores and so many employees in two offline supermarkets, there must be some with outstanding personalities. Those who have encountered unpleasant shopping experiences in physical stores have all commented on their experiences.
There is no doubt that the Internet is an amplifier, just like the wrong question set. You may get a score of 99 in every exam and just get one question wrong, but in the wrong question set, all the questions are wrong.
ah.
The same is true on the Internet. Praising good and correct things requires guidance, but complaining about failures and mistakes is spontaneous. When the posts complaining about the two physical stores are piled up higher and higher, you will feel that the world is at a glance.
How could there be such a heartless company in the world that has not yet closed down?
Suning Gome was stunned by the sudden denunciation, and hurriedly went up to defend itself. It turned out that it was okay not to mention it. As soon as everyone saw the company representative bubbling, it was like a cannonball that had found the bullseye.
Crazy output. In just half a day, these users were directly sprayed and their accounts were deleted.
The power of netizens is evident.
Helpless, Suning Gome could only announce that all stores will conduct employee training and quality improvement.
The key is that it costs a lot of money.
After going back and forth, wouldn’t it make it even worse to keep up with Luming Mall?
Don’t forget that there is Ali watching eagerly next to you!
Countless individual sellers on Taobao are showing off their unique skills, and I don’t even dare to think about what they will be like in the future!
In the forum, in addition to those who criticized Suning and Gome, some people also focused on Luming Mall itself.
"You didn't forget to pet your cat during the interview. Is this the richest man?"
"Envy, we don't allow pets in our office."
"The cat in Lu Yiming's arms looks very similar to the Tmall shopping mall icon LOGO that Taobao is working on recently."
It is no longer a secret that Lu Yiming is a shareholder of Alibaba. Tmall Mall has now officially announced that the LOGO is an abstract orange, and the prototype is the one in Lu Yiming's arms.
For those who know more about the situation, they immediately posted the following: "This cat was originally a little stray cat. Later, the richest man's mother saw it when she was shopping for groceries, so she took her home and adopted her. Now her avatar is directly posted on Tmall.
On the homepage of the mall, it is said that Jack Ma himself requested this, and he also likes cats."
"I'm so envious, I really want to be the cat in the richest man's house."
"It's really unexpected that the richest man actually keeps such a cheap local cat."
"What a native cat, it's so cute even though it's plump. It looks a bit like the Northeast Golden Grain."
"Haha, this cat's name seems to be Fat Tiger."
For a time, the comment section directly became a gathering place for cat lovers, and the content of the discussion gradually became distorted.
Even in the following period, the prices of orange cats in pet markets across the country have generally increased by more than doubling.
At home, Lu Yiming was feeding Fat Tiger with dried small fish. Ning Xuehua came back from shopping and happened to see this scene. She immediately complained: "Stop feeding him. See for yourself. Fat Tiger is now so fat."
What's going on? Take him to the community for a run and exercise, and come back for dinner in half an hour."
Lu Yiming poked Fat Tiger's belly in disgust: "You are just over a year old, how come you are so fat?"
Fat Tiger meowed, turned around and walked outside. His dismissive look seemed to be saying: Don't you have any idea why I am so fat?
"Oh, you still dare to despise me? You are out of supper tonight!"
Lu Yiming took out the noose and tied it on Fat Tiger, and said: "Let's go, if I don't make you tired today, I, Ming Yilu, will write my name upside down."
Just as I was packing up and getting ready to go out, I saw Jack Ma walking over with a few gift bags, and the two happened to meet each other.
"Mr. Lu, what are you going to do?"
Lu Yiming shook the rope in his hand and said, "I'm just walking the cat, what else can I do? Why are you free to come here today? Aren't you in charge of the battle in Hangzhou?"
Jack Ma put down the gift bag in his hand, squatted down and picked up Fat Tiger, caressed Fat Tiger's belly, and said in a relaxed tone: "Although eBay is still launching various promotions, the overall situation has actually been decided. I am here."
It doesn’t matter if you’re not here.”
Seeing Jack Ma's state, Lu Yiming couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Thinking back to when Whitman's strong attack came, Jack Marco was so anxious that his eyebrows were almost on fire.
Nowadays, the situation is changing. eBay defeated Xia Guo, Whitman returned without success, and a large company with tens of billions of dollars was beaten to pieces by Jack Ma and a group of wild men. All I can say is this
The result is something that most people did not expect.
Even Jack Ma himself didn't expect Yibei to be so unwilling to fight at first.
Lu Yiming said: "This is called acclimatization. The European and American methods only work in Europe and the United States. It is impossible to directly replicate them in Xia Kingdom. As the saying goes, a person is nourished by the soil and water.
Only our local companies can adapt to local gameplay and rules."
Jack Ma lamented: "That's true. I was too timid before. I just thought about how powerful eBay is and how influential it is internationally, but I didn't expect that they were coming to steal our market.
.In terms of population size, we directly occupy a quarter of the world, so there is no need to be imaginary."
"That's the truth."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly, and then said: "So, if you want to come to our territory to eat and drink, then you have to let me lay down the tiger, and let me coil up the snake. If you want to come to our house to make money, you also want to be us.
Uncle, how can such a good thing happen in this world? I support you in killing Yibei."
After reminiscing about the "turbulent years of the past" together, Jackma then got down to business with Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu, I plan to spin off Tmall Mall from Taobao, develop it independently, and specialize in the B2C market in the future."
When he said this, Jack Ma had been observing Lu Yiming's expression. After all, if Tmall was engaged in the B2C market, it would be competing with Luming Mall. Not long ago, Lu Yiming said in an interview that Alibaba specializes in
C2C, not counting the repeated investment with Luming Mall, in the blink of an eye, Jack Ma said that he wanted to be B2C. From the perspective of outsiders, this may be interpreted as a slap in the face.
In any case, Lu Yiming is the major shareholder of Alibaba, and he has just helped Alibaba fight off eBay's attack. Jack Ma suddenly said this, and it seemed like he was trying to burn bridges.
Therefore, Jack Ma must wait and see Lu Yiming's reaction. If Lu Yiming firmly opposes it, Jack Ma will definitely choose to postpone the plan.
