In August 1999, eBay was founded in Shanghai, China by two Harvard Business School graduates, Shao Yibo and Tan Haiyin.

In January 2000, according to the results of CNNIC's fifth "Statistical Survey on China's Internet Development Status": eBay ranked first among domestic auction websites in terms of votes, making eBay the most popular auction website in China.

In July 2000, eBay launched a personal online store service.

This is not the information in Lin Feng's mind, but the information found on the Internet. After reviewing several offices found by Cheng Peijia, Lin Feng, who had nothing to do, decided on one of the 120 square meters of residential houses. After commissioning the decoration

After the company was renovated and supervised by Cheng Peijia, Lin Feng sat in front of the computer for the first time in half a year.

As soon as I went online, I discovered the information that eBay had launched a personal online store service.

eBay was once the No. 1 online commerce company in China. Unfortunately, it was later surpassed by Taobao due to scandals such as leaking customer information and falsifying credibility. The latter eventually became the No. 1 online commerce company in China, accounting for 10% of China’s online transactions.

80% of the trading market share. It is said that there are millions of transactions every day, and the cumulative amount is 400 million yuan.

By the way, I can open a personal online store to promote my upcoming Chinese version of "CS Counter-Strike". - Lin Feng snapped his fingers.

Apply for an account, create a username, upload a copy of your ID card, and then wait for review.

However, eBay only provides a trading platform at this time. After the two parties reach a preliminary transaction online, they still need to contact each other offline to determine the payment methods of both parties. This is a test of character. Good character can buy Wumart.

Cheap goods; if your character is not good, it’s still a good idea to give you a defective product, and sometimes the money will be wasted.

In online transactions at this time, since third-party transaction credit platforms such as Alipay have not yet been launched, there is no guarantee in terms of integrity system and security.

Maybe I can also build an online trading platform now. Based on the future trend of eBay, it will definitely surpass it and become the No. 1 online trading platform in China - Lin Feng silently calculated the feasibility of it.

In the initial stage, you only need one server, open a 10m optical fiber, hire a website maintenance staff, and a data management staff. As it develops in the future and the number of users increases, you can naturally expand the server and bandwidth.

After careful consideration, Lin Feng decided that this plan was feasible, but it would require registering an Internet company.

Hey! This is...

When Lin Feng was about to log off the Internet, he accidentally caught a glimpse of another financial news.

In April 2000, China National Petroleum Corporation was listed overseas and signed a joint venture agreement with major Western oil companies such as Shell, Exxon and BP Amoco to operate 2,000 gas stations in exchange for its role as a strategic investor.

Contribution.

Lin Feng remembered that Sinopec Corp. would also be listed overseas at the end of the year. The two most profitable oil companies in China were listed overseas one after another in the same year, and then launched plans to acquire gas stations across the country. Many people thought of this.

Made a small profit.

But even if the acquisition seems to have happened in 2004, it is still early, and there is no rush now. After Sinopec and PetroChina start their nationwide acquisition plan, they will take a heavy hit from it. The two monopolies have made so much money from the common people.

Money, it is not an exaggeration to seek some justice on behalf of the people of the country.

After finalizing his plan, Lin Feng found Accountant Zhang and calculated the company's current fund balance.

750,000. After establishing Lin's Catering and Entertainment Co., Ltd., six "murder clubs" and buying a house for his mother with 200,000 yuan, Lin Feng still had 750,000 yuan in cash.

Among them, 150,000 yuan of the budget will be reserved for the first barbecue city in Lan District; 100,000 yuan will be reserved for the scented tea processing factory. Counting the 100,000 yuan of working capital, Lin Fengke’s actual funds will be around 400,000 yuan. But for his future

For the catering plan, you need to set aside 300,000 yuan in start-up capital, so that the maximum amount of funds you can use is 100,000 yuan.

In Chu City in August 2000, the telecommunications department had begun to plan broadband services, and adsl had begun to appear in the telecommunications department's advertisements. However, at this time, home installation of 512k bandwidth also required an initial installation fee of 308 yuan, and a caller ID phone was included.

With a cat, the annual network usage fee is 600 yuan, and the time limit is 200 hours per month.

As for the optical fiber in Internet cafes, due to line problems, except for a few Internet cafes near the urban telecommunications equipment rooms, most of the other Internet cafes still have a wait-and-see attitude. After all, at this time, LAN games are still the world. Although online games have become popular in the future,

"Stone Age" for a while, but it has not yet become popular in Chu City.

"Age of Empires" and "StarCraft" are the absolute mainstream now. The real explosion period of online games was after the Korean kimchi game "Legend" appeared. But that was only a year later.

In order to facilitate the opening of optical fiber, Lin Feng spent 800 yuan to rent a 100-square-meter residential house in the city center near the telecommunications equipment room. After simple decoration, Lin Feng's first Internet company was born here.

Lin Feng recruited a fresh graduate majoring in network information and a file administrator, and he was temporarily responsible for daily management. After all, the Internet company had just been established, and there was almost nothing to be busy with in the early stage.

Later, I hired an Internet company to help design the web page, and then spent 20,000 yuan to purchase a server. The installation fee for activating 10m exclusive optical fiber was 20,000 yuan, and the annual fiber usage fee was 60,000 yuan.

Lin Feng knew that this would definitely lose money in the early days, but with Lin Feng's current assets and company size, he could still afford to lose more than 100,000 yuan a year. As long as he persisted until a certain number of registered members reached a certain number, he would definitely make a lot of money.

.Not only can he make a lot of money from advertising revenue, but also the cash retention from daily transactions can bring a large amount of capital turnover to Lin Feng.

Of course, it is impossible now. The country has not yet launched online banking services. Only after launching online banking services and purchasing third-party credit platforms such as Alipay, this will no longer be a dream. This money trapping method, although there is no

Listed companies make so much money, but they are better because they are safe and fair.

As for the company name, Lin Feng directly stole the name and domain name of Taobao, which was launched three years later. This is the international domain name of Lin Feng Network Company. However, although the website has been established, no merchants have joined it yet. Let his subordinates

While the two went to major forums to post advertisements, Lin Feng became the first member to open a store on his online trading platform.

Pre-sale of the world's number one online battle first-person perspective shooting game - "CS Counter-Strike", which will be released on September 15th. Pre-order as soon as possible. - In the most conspicuous position on Taobao, Lin Feng marked his products
Chapter completed!
