063 Outlook 2001

 As the New Year approaches, people feel refreshed when happy events occur.

I finally showed my sword and practiced a set of spirit-charging sword techniques with Gao Yuanyuan for my own entertainment. You used one move to "meet each other for the first time in the fog", and I used one move to "meet each other after the rain". The loving couple showed off their skills at each other. It was really fun.

Rejoice!

At the same time, restaurants near Zhongguancun are also ushering in a good harvest. Many companies and stores will hold annual meetings here, and Donglu is no exception.

"Have you bought the ticket? When will you leave?"

Lu Fei held a dozen red envelopes in his hand, all of the same thickness. He distributed them to employees one by one without classifying them according to their contribution or using any tricks.

"It'll be the day after tomorrow." Tao Yao took the red envelope and was happy from the bottom of his heart. "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Xu Lei saw the red envelope and said unexpectedly: "Oh, there's still one for me?"

"Everyone has a share." Lu Fei said generously, "You must have received a lot of blessings on New Year's Eve, hehe, so I wish you a happy New Year in advance."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, and I wish you a happy New Year!"

Everyone was surprised and laughed even more joyfully.

Although the private room is small, the decoration is not exquisite, and the entertainment facilities only have a TV in the corner that works fine, but the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable.

20 people sat around two tables. There were four cold dishes on the table. The wine was the puree wine that was brought with them without any blending. There were also two boxes of Five Star Beer and two boxes of Yanjing Beer at the door.

The millennium is when the drinking culture is at its most popular, and business is inseparable from drinking, so this meal is inevitable.

"cheers!"

Lu Fei raised his glass and everyone drank.

"Hey, Mr. Lu, just say a few words, say a few words." Xu Lei cheered, and everyone followed suit and applauded.

There was a roar, a wave of applause.

Lu Fei showed no stage fright, filled up his glass of wine, walked to the narrow aisle between the two tables, immediately got into the mood, and started talking.

"When I speak, I should eat and drink when I should, and don't be restrained. Today I am grateful to everyone here. Thank you all."

After that, he had a drink on his own, and then presented the various achievements of Feigou.com since the establishment of Double Eleven as if it were a report.

It has 257,000 users, second only to eBay, with 8,848, ranking third in just over 2 months. It has more than 900 stores, which is only more than 200 fewer than eBay, which was established earlier. However, with 40,000 daily active users, it ranks first.

Moreover, since the launch of Monternet, the number of "Buyer Pass" subscriptions has exceeded 37,000, and the monthly subscription fee is 185,000. After deducting the share and costs, the profit is 60,000 to 70,000, which is 70,000 to 800,000 a year.

The key now is that QQ is still attracting traffic, and that’s millions of registered users!

Taking into account the Seller Pass and booth fees, Feigou.com was able to earn its first "one million" in the first year of its establishment even if it did not rely on B2C during the Internet winter.

"Sooner or later, China will join the WTO. This is inevitable. It is just a matter of time. I think in 2001 or 2002, China's economy will develop rapidly. This is true for the state-owned economy, as well as the private economy and small and medium-sized enterprises.

But after the WTO, large foreign companies and brands enter the Chinese market, and small and medium-sized enterprises must be very disadvantaged in the competition. There is no brand, no reputation, no marketing, and no channels. We are targeting small and medium-sized enterprises..."

"Damn it, the next door is so aggressive, can it involve the WTO?"

Zhang Qi picked up the chopsticks, picked up a few peanuts, and while smacking them, he looked at Liu Yidong and Shenlong's unseen girlfriend, Gong Xiaojing.

"Ahem, I set the annual sales volume in 2000 to be 12 million. I looked at it and we did it."

Liu Edong leaned on the chair, "Of course, this number is still very small compared with other peers, so I position Jingdong as a small company, be careful in everything I do, be down-to-earth in every step, and never be exaggerated..."

It’s now 2001, what do you think of the company’s future development?”

Everyone is confused, you are the boss, you ask us?

The atmosphere at the dinner table was strange and strange, and it was silent.

"Don't be too nervous, just chat, eat, eat, drink and eat."

Liu Edong sensed something was wrong, handed the red envelope to Gong Xiaojing to distribute, changed the subject, and escaped with his own excuse.

After washing his hands, he walked out absentmindedly and accidentally bumped into someone walking shoulder to shoulder. He apologized repeatedly and looked up, "Well, Mr. Lu?"

"Boss Liu, what a coincidence?" Lu Fei was slightly surprised and kindly invited him for a drink.

Although Liu Edong evaded it verbally, he was quite eager in his heart. Isn't the guiding light for Jingdong Multimedia's future development plans coming?

The two of them returned to the box side by side. Lu Fei introduced Liu Yudong to everyone, which was also a greeting in advance. In the future, everyone including Jingdong and Jingdong would have to be named Lu.

"Mr. Lu, you haven't finished what you just said." Wang Huiwen looked like a fanboy, just like when he gave the speech.

"Where did I just talk?"

"2001 will be a critical year for the great development of Feigou.com."

"Yes, 2001 will be a very important year. Don't think that we can't develop because of the bursting of the Nasdaq bubble or the Internet winter.

On the contrary, being able to survive in the cold winter without us dying while others is development in itself, and not only will we not lose weight due to hunger, we will also gain weight, because the 8848 network has become the meat on our lips."

Lu Fei kept talking, looking at the general trend of e-commerce, predicting that 8848.com would not last long in the Internet winter.

Although it has a lofty name, the height of Everest, it is not the ceiling of the e-commerce platform, but the biggest bubble of e-commerce concept speculation. Because of the collapse of Internet concept stocks, 8848 cannot be listed, and capital cannot make money.

In just a year or two, Lu Fei, his biggest enemy, fell down before he even exerted any effort.

"Dangdang has just launched its audio and video business, and Joyo.com has not seen any movement. Ali's 1688 is engaged in foreign trade wholesale, and eBay is engaged in auctions. When 8848 fell, we are the only ones who can really eat this piece of fat.

This is called 8848 falling, Feigou is full!”

Everyone nodded frequently, with brilliant eyes, including Xu Lei, who was silent for a long time and wanted to find fault with Lu Fei's words, but found that it made sense and was speechless.

"Listening to Mr. Lu's words is better than ten years of reading."

When the speech was over, there was thunderous applause, and Liu Edong couldn't help but applaud, and then he tried hard to get him to his box.

"Boss Liu comes to my side to propose a toast. Of course I have to reciprocate the courtesy." Lu Fei picked up the wine cup and followed.

As soon as he walked through the corridor, Liu Edong couldn't help but ask ancestor Hongjun for advice, because the gross profit of recorders has dropped very seriously. It has been falling since last year, and next year it is estimated that one unit will only earn more than a dozen yuan.

In 2001, Jingdong Multimedia's sales exceeded 20 million, and it was urgent to re-determine the general direction!

After entering the box and getting to know each other, the topic circled back to the development of Jingdong Multimedia. This time, perhaps because Liu Edong sent a red envelope before going out and gave Zhang Qi and others time to think, their speeches became more proactive.

Gong Xiaojing proposed to break away from optical and magnetic products, agent more things, and become a distributor, just like Digital China.

"If Digital China is so big, how much value does it have in the industry chain?"

Lu Fei showed a disdainful smile. Digital China, whose domain name he had registered, was useless no matter how big it was. It was just a distribution and logistics platform.

"Just like Lianxiang, it doesn't have much value. If you don't provide more value, you are not qualified to make more money. You can make a profit, but it is very low."

Liu Edong was convinced that the distribution path was not within his consideration. There were only two planned routes, which were nothing more than the path pointed out by Lu Fei. Either the Gome Suning retail model and offline digital comprehensive shopping malls, or online e-commerce.

business.

Of the 12.7 million yuan in turnover this year, the physical store accounted for 10.29 million yuan, and the remaining 2.41 million yuan came from Feigou.com.

Regardless of the small amount of money, without e-commerce, the claims made last year will definitely not be cashed in. The key e-commerce opened in about 2 months!

"I am not advocating e-commerce just because I run an e-commerce platform. In fact, next year, China's e-commerce will take off strongly."

Lu Fei’s words are not without purpose, because the infrastructure issues that restrict Feigou.com and even e-commerce are being solved.

In terms of logistics, starting from 2001, China's expressway network will expand rapidly at an annual growth rate of nearly 6,000 kilometers, and private express delivery companies such as STO and SF Express will take the opportunity to develop and grow.

As for network infrastructure, China's backbone network construction has also made great progress.

The original 10 major backbone networks were operated by 7 operators, including China Unicom, China Telecom, China Mobile, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Great Wall Internet Center, International E-Commerce Center, and Saier Network Co., Ltd.

The latter four operators only provide network services to specific groups of people such as scientific research institutions, governments, high-tech enterprises, and state-owned enterprises.

Before the millennium, ordinary people had access to only China Unicom and China Telecom. However, this year the telecommunications industry was reformed for the first time and China Mobile was separated. Counting China Netcom, China Railcom, China Satcom, and Jitong, the number of Internet users in China is bound to be huge.

Double growth.

In 2000, there were only more than 16 million, but since 2001, the number has doubled to more than 33 million, and in 2002, there were more than 59 million...

Therefore, Lu Yun's Ali Baba and Lu Huateng's Penguin can succeed, and there is personal success, but still the same saying - times make heroes, even pigs can fly in the wind!

At this time, Lu Fei had already seized the two major outlets of social networking and e-commerce in advance, and Baidu, a giant in the search industry, lived opposite the company.

Yes, the sky is not his limit, his limit is the stars and the sea!

Liu Edong was enlightened and suddenly became enlightened. Everyone at Jingdong Multimedia suddenly became convinced that e-commerce is the future trend.

His face was full of gratitude, and he felt guilty about using the cup, so he poured a large bowl full of it, "Come on, Mr. Lu, I respect you!"

Gong Xiaojing looked at this ridiculously young "Mr. Lu" in surprise, and saw Lu Fei extending an olive branch to her boyfriend. The main idea was that the emperor would rather have the talent, and the strong soldiers and horses will do it. You are loyal to me now, and you will not lose the status of a prince in the future.

Bit, blah blah...

Liu Edong looked around, wavering. If he went to Feigou.com, what would Jingdong Multimedia do?

What to do with his brothers and sisters who eat with him?

"Jingdong Multimedia joined Feigou.com as an asset and became a 3C digital store on Feigou.com, and its employees also accepted it."

Lu Fei curled his lips, the digital store of Jingdong Mall, and even the electrical appliances franchise in the future, it’s all there!

"Boss Liu, you can think about it carefully. I'm not in a hurry. You have only been exposed to e-commerce for 2 months. Once you see the true potential of e-commerce, you will definitely make the right choice. The door of Feigou.com will always be open to you and we are waiting for you."
