131 A huge shock in the industry, fighting between dragons and tigers (please subscribe)
The meeting between eBay and Feigou.com was already attracting attention both inside and outside the industry. IT elites, the media, and even people in the yamen, but under the spotlight, such a dramatic scene occurred.
The news that eBay CEO Meg Whitman fell down was like a wildfire igniting the prairie, instantly starting a prairie fire, spreading from north to south, with noses and eyes. No one wanted to know why the fall happened, they just wanted to know what was discussed.
But the person involved got into the car angrily and ran away. Lu Fei, who was suspected to be the instigator, refused to be interviewed. Just like Yang Guo's defeat of Jinlun Dharma King, another legend was added to the world.
The media was miserable and did not dare to make wild guesses, but the tabloids were bold. A newspaper published "Ebay CEO Meg's fall: Accident? Coincidence?" was placed on the desk of the eBay CEO.
"Haha, hahaha~"
Shao Yibo looked at it once and laughed once. The noises filled the office one after another. It was not until a woman knocked on the door that he restrained himself.
"Haiying, come and see, you did a good job!"
Tan Haiying was a classmate of his MBA at Peking University and was also a founding partner of eBay. She shook her head helplessly: "At least he may be our future ally, so give him some face."
"When they met us, they didn't give us face. They were very arrogant."
Shao Yibo looked at the photo repeatedly, and the picture was frozen in the moment when Meg fell and was frightened in the earth-red sand mist, grinning.
"The only flaw is that we caught up with the sandstorm and the photo was not clear enough, and the expression on the face was not captured clearly."
Tan Haiying cleared her throat, "This fall is equivalent to helping us. eBay's negotiation with Feigou has completely failed, and there is no way to recover it. Meg will definitely come back to talk about an alliance. We need to discuss her offer carefully."
condition."
"It's no problem to change 'ebay' to 'ebay', and it's no problem to send Matt to the company."
Shao Yibo crossed his arms and said, "If you take 35% of our equity for 30 million U.S. dollars, you have to change it. It's too much."
"Meg may not agree." Tan Haiying frowned.
“We are eBay’s only option now.”
Shao Yibo felt a little less resentful towards Lu Fei, who had been running against eBay for more than a year. Without him, eBay and eBay would have been like the Northern Han Dynasty and Daliao, forming a father-son alliance, no matter how good it was, it would still be an uncle-nephew alliance.
Now, we can actively strive for a brotherly alliance.
"Relying on external forces is not enough. We must regain the lost share."
Tan Haiying said calmly: "I discussed with you before that eBay is as free as Feigou. What do you think?"
"No!"
Shao Yibo shook his head and always believed that only by charging a fee would sellers seriously put their items on the shelves and not raise prices all over the place. The transaction rate would be greatly improved, and there would be more and more buyers, forming a virtuous cycle.
"For this virtuous cycle, we have used the free period for more than two years to cultivate enough popularity, and then give up in vain?"
Tan Haiying was moved and wavered.
Shao Yibo said categorically: "Charging is our advantage, eBay also charges!"
………
“Free is our advantage!”
Lu Fei summoned all the leaders of Feigou.com to hold a mobilization meeting before the war.
In the previous life, eBay and Taobao started the first e-commerce war. Now one of the protagonists is Feigou.
In fact, it is a dispute between the foreigners and the locals. For example, 8848 imitates Amazon and eBay imitates eBay. They all refer to the mature business model of the United States. Lu Fei is completely wild, self-taught in the Dugu Nine Swords and Beiming Shen Gong.
"Mr. Lu, do we really want to go to war with Yibei?"
Wang Huiwen and others are more reluctant than unconfident. The elites of Beijing University and Shuimu inevitably admire and yearn for Silicon Valley.
"That's right, but it's not that I'm wary, I have to fight. eBay is ambitious. It's different from venture capital. Venture capital wants money, but eBay not only wants money, but also wants the Chinese market."
Lu Fei analyzed the battle situation and asked his subordinates to give up their illusions and prepare to fight.
"Mr. Lu, can we win?" Ding Peng hesitated.
"Win? You shouldn't ask that, but how much you win!"
Lu Fei analyzed eBay's charging model, analyzed the limitations of buyer restrictions, and analyzed the shortcomings of Huaxia's credit card payment. The analysis came and went. In short, Feigou will win and eBay will lose.
"We can definitely beat eBay!"
Liu Edong has the deepest experience, "Because eBay is too petty and only focuses on 5 yuan, and Mr. Lu often teaches us that customers make money, and online shopping makes money."
"Don't just focus on the 5 yuan in the customer's pocket. You must find a way to help him turn that 5 yuan into 50 yuan or 500 yuan, and then earn his 5 yuan or 50 yuan."
"What Gaodong said is right."
Lu Fei sneered, "Don't look at them two against one, double teaming us, tens of billions versus 100 million, but the advantage lies with us."
Liu Edong, Wang Huiwen and others are gearing up and have high fighting spirit. Even if they put raw rice in a pot, they will still eat it!

After Lu Fei improved his morale, he actively deployed, formulated tactics, and divided combat zones.
In addition to Yanjing with Tianyi, Zhongguancun, etc., Jiangsu and Zhejiang with wholesale markets such as Yiwu and Sijiqing, and eastern Guangdong with Chenghai, Huaqiangbei, etc., these two blocks continue to develop and lay a solid base.
"Free is not our only advantage. Experience, payment, service, trust, technology, and even the supply of goods are all put into their mouths. It's just two words, win-win."
………
On October 20, eBay took the lead in building momentum and announced with great fanfare that it was negotiating a cooperation with eBay, and the amount of financing involved would far exceed the US$15 million raised by Feigou and MIH.
The popularity of "Meg Fell" had already subsided, but suddenly it soared again. The media also invested in the series, adding fuel to the fire.
"Battle between eBay and Feigou: New stories between young talents and veterans", "Suspense in the rise of e-commerce in the C2C market", "Yang Guo from the West vs. Shao Yibo, the magical power: who wins and who loses"...
Various articles appeared frequently in newspapers and on the Internet, and the situation was even more one-sided. It was eBay that reported the progress and news of the negotiations. Shao Yibo sang a high profile in front of the media, while Lu Fei kept a low profile. Feigou stayed put and adopted a defensive posture.
Weird!
Very weird!
In the public opinion for more than half a month, eBay was so aggressive and Feigou was so defensive. Although there was no frontal fire that everyone expected, and those who joined in the fun dispersed without seeing the excitement, colleagues in the industry and the financial media persisted and stared closely.
One day——
November 11th.
On the first anniversary of Feigou.com, Lu Fei will definitely make things right.
The heavy rain was about to come, and Yanjing was gloomy at this time, with a continuous light rain falling, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were full of raindrops.
The more Lei Jun looked at it, the more he sighed. Joyo.com was too small and not qualified to enter the game. He could only eat melons while watching the two giants in the e-commerce circle fight with each other.
When I feel lonely, what I can take comfort in is that Joyo.com is finally on the mend, with the number of registered members exceeding 100,000.
Although it was very clumsy, following Lu Fei's lead marketing, Jay Chou couldn't find him, but they bet on Yuquan, and the new album released in September, "Deep Breath" and "Heart Like a Madness" from "Love" became a small hit.
Relying on public relations, he was on the "MTV Tian Lai Village" ranking list, even though half of the list was occupied by Jay Chou.
"Mr. Lei, it's a big deal, Feigou has taken action."
Chen Nian ran over quickly.
"What trick?"
Lei Junzheng was confused and saw him throwing in a few commercial and financial newspapers, and then controlled the login page of Feigou.com.
At this time, the special webpage celebrating "the national football team qualifying" has been replaced and returned to normal, but it is different from usual.
In the large frame at the top, news about Qilixiang, Mengniu, Yili and other brand companies joining Jingdong Mall are scrolling one by one. The eye-catching and thick fonts, coupled with animated pictures, are eye-catching.
"The official flagship store still has this kind of operation?"
Lei Jun was completely confused by this un-American business routine. He couldn't understand it, but he couldn't understand it at all. He was still shocked.
My eyes immediately turned to the newspapers, major newspapers and tabloids, all from this week. They were all interviews with food and beverage tycoons such as Niu Gensheng and Zheng Junhuai. The reason why I embraced e-commerce was because I was optimistic about Feigou.
In an instant, the Fei Shopping Network opened up, and everyone was riding high.
"This is such an absolutely generous move!"
Lu Yun in Hangzhou is the only one who feels the same emotion as Lei Jun.
Cai Chongxin's eyes widened when he saw it, "I've been holding back before, so you're waiting for this moment to give eBay a heavy blow?"
"With 27 brands, how did he do it?"
Lu Yun touched his chin and fell into deep thought. The official flagship store secretly learned another trick.
"No matter how it is done, now the pressure is on eBay."
Cai Chongxin narrowed his eyes, "Originally, eBay took back a little initiative from eBay, but now it is even more passive. eBay has no way to deal with Feigou, and urgently needs eBay as a foreign aid. If the negotiation with eBay
Failure will have disastrous consequences.”
"It depends on how eBay will act."
Lu Yun saw three programmers walking in, "But more importantly than this, it's time for us to take action."
While talking, he took out three confidentiality agreements in English.
Cai Jing now found it difficult to read and simply stopped reading, "Mr. Lu, it's just about typing code, right?"
Lu Yun asked: "Yes, can you create a website like Feigou.com?"
"Feigou.com?" Cai Jingxian nodded, "Mr. Lu, are we not doing b2b anymore?"
"Although b2b is our main business model, we must also look for new projects at the appropriate time."
"I understand, what is the name of our website?"
"The tentative code name is Ahli's mother." Lu Yun patted his general on the shoulder.
