"Although this data is not worth mentioning in front of mature e-commerce platforms, it only took us 3 months to achieve it." Huang Zheng said proudly.
"Oh? The total annual transaction volume of the e-commerce website we built back then in 2003 was only 34 million." Upon hearing this, Sun Tongyu added a number of data from that year.
Although time has passed, times have changed, and this data no longer has reference value, as a veteran of Taobao, Sun Tongyu still remembers this number.
After all, this was their first success, and Alibaba started to take off from that time, becoming the number one in Asia in just two years, and at the same time becoming an unstoppable domestic e-commerce giant...
It is a pity that Sun Tongyu, as a veteran, had a dismal exit after becoming famous.
Even though seven years have passed, Sun Tongyu still feels unwilling in his heart.
"Yes, although times are different and the number of Internet users is no longer the same, but due to the huge inertia of user habits, the challenges faced by latecomers are also more difficult." Huang Zheng added.
Sun Tongyu also nodded deeply and agreed.
Although they faced threats and competition from overseas e-commerce when they first started their e-commerce website, it was still not on the same level as it is now.
This also made Sun Tongyu very interested in Huang Zheng's project. At the same time, Sun Tongyu had also realized the purpose of this family dinner.
Wang Wei and Ding Sanshi were both successful and famous people, and they had already regretted it, but they still listened with interest to their juniors' talk about their entrepreneurial vision.
After all, they came through this way back then. Looking at the younger generation is like seeing themselves back then, which makes people smile knowingly.
At the same time, Huang Zheng and Zhou Dongsheng talked about the rhetoric they had said before, the prospects of mobile Internet, and the potential of sinking into the market, and then concluded that the social e-commerce project has great potential.
For Zhou Dongsheng, this rhetoric has been said several times, and now it is still used occasionally, and some new insights can even be added to it.
After all, for Zhou Dongsheng, he started from a perspective that was bound to succeed and then worked backwards, so it was not difficult to say something meaningful.
After all, in Zhou Dongsheng's eyes, this is a piece of "history" that has passed, and can be left to future generations to comment on, and anyone who picks it up can give a convincing insight.
But for now, this is a "future" that has not yet arrived. In the eyes of others, the future is still an elusive unknown.
This contains a huge information gap, which is Zhou Dongsheng's unique advantage, and at different altitudes, the role this information gap can play is naturally very different.
And now Zhou Dongsheng has gradually expanded the value brought by this information gap...
Under the narration of Huang Zheng and Zhou Dongsheng, a completely feasible and promising e-commerce project blueprint was vividly displayed in front of the bosses.
Especially after hearing this, Sun Tongyu couldn't help but exclaim, "What a social e-commerce, it's such a refreshing new concept."
"The summary of traditional e-commerce's 'More, Faster, Better and Save' is very accurate, and the innovative concepts of 'social' and 'fun' are very novel and may really open up a new track."
"Oh no, judging from the results you have achieved, this new track has been recognized by users, and it indeed has great potential."
As a veteran of e-commerce, Sun Tongyu is naturally very familiar with traditional e-commerce, and Huang Zheng and Zhou Dongsheng's descriptions really made him feel a whole new world.
But this world is something that traditional e-commerce companies ignore or don’t even care about. After all, as the old saying goes, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places.
The inertia of human thinking is to develop upward. Just like a climber, his eyes are always looking upward, and he only cares about how high he can climb and what achievements he can achieve.
On this traditional track of competing to climb higher, the natural advantage held by the pioneer is enough to keep his position unshakable.
Just like everyone always only remembers the first place, under this rule, the pioneer is the first place.
However, in the descriptions of Huang Zheng and Zhou Dongsheng, they are pioneers in achieving "downward development". They are not competing with who can climb higher, but who can sink faster!
Since I can't beat you under the original rules, I won't play with you. I will create new rules. In the new rules, I am the pioneer of "number one".
Of course, if it is under normal circumstances, this is undoubtedly a kind of "Ah Q spirit" similar to the spiritual victory method.
It's like being the last in the class and proudly saying to the first: "So what if you are the first? Relatively speaking, I am also the first."
There is only one sentence for such an absurd spiritual victory method: Good guy, it is true that you have understood the theory of relativity.
Normally this doesn't work, but under certain circumstances, it works!
This feeling of "subverting the norm" can be imagined as a shock to Sun Tongyu. To describe it as "refreshing" is a bit understated.
"I also understand. This year our pig factory is also trying to open up a new track in the field of e-commerce, but compared with Huang Zheng and yours, it seems a bit insignificant." Ding Sanshi sighed with emotion.
Zhuchang Kaola, which was officially launched in public beta at the beginning of the year, is also a possibility for Zhuchang, an Internet giant, to seek diversified development, and the cross-border e-commerce direction it has explored has indeed achieved impressive results.
Despite this, it was still difficult to break through the "80/20 rule" in the e-commerce field. In the end, the pig factory sold the fat and white koala to Alibaba for US$2 billion.
Let alone a pig factory, even Internet giants like Tenda, which is on par with Alibaba, are still unable to shake the other's dominance.
Just like Ali resorting to military force, on the contrary, he tried to shake Tengda's social field.
Facts have proven that giants are invincible in their respective fields, otherwise they would not be able to become giants.
At present, although Zhuchang's cross-border e-commerce project has just started, Ding Sanshi does not believe that this project can achieve much in the field of e-commerce.
The original intention was just to supplement the diversified layout of the pig factory. As for being a brave man who challenged the dragon, that was not what Ding Sanshi considered.
After all, to a certain extent, he is also one of the "evil dragons".
But this did not prevent him from appreciating an ambitious brave man who wanted to challenge the evil dragon. Anyway, he was not the one to be killed!
And Ding Sanshi is not stupid. Duan Yongping's intention in saving this game is already obvious, which is to let them join forces to build a set of luxurious equipment for this brave man, so as to make it easier to accomplish this goal.
Wang Wei, the well-deserved leader in logistics in China, how can an e-commerce company do without logistics?
Sun Tongyu, in the domestic e-commerce field, if we talk about the people with the highest achievements and the most experience, even if he is not ranked in the top three, he is still enough to be ranked in the top five.
However, he is the one who is most suitable for Huang Zheng. After all, it is impossible to ask a competitor for business advice, right?
As for Duan Yongping and Ding Sanshi, needless to say, both at the capital level and Pig Factory's accomplishments in the game industry, they can provide great help.
Only then did Zhou Dongsheng realize that apart from model innovation, this luxurious team could at least account for half of Pin Xixi’s brilliant achievements!
Sure enough, the so-called "accident" of success is the accumulation of a series of inevitable factors.
