Without saying a word, Da Qiangzi immediately went out to buy coffee.
On a hot day, when he returned to the office, he was already soaked and his hair was sticking to his forehead.
"Are you sweating?" Peng Bo said hypocritically. The great Qiangzi of later generations especially liked to wear tight-fitting shirts, but now the fat short-sleeved shirt stuck to his body, and he was all wet.
He blew on the air conditioner and drank a cup of coffee, but it was not enough. Da Qiangzi didn't say anything and immediately went out and bought ten more cups. Peng Bo smiled when he saw ten cups of Starbucks coffee neatly placed in front of him.
"I know that Mr. Peng's coffee is very famous in Shanghai. There is a reason why you asked me to buy coffee." Da Qiangzi always believed in Peng Bo. A person who treats himself well will not amuse himself.
of.
"There is a proverb in the United States. If you want to know the taste of chocolate, you have to taste it yourself. It doesn't matter if you have never been exposed to the Internet. I'm afraid you won't dare to accept new things." He handed Da Qiangzi a cup of coffee. "I have never drank coffee."
, it doesn’t matter, drink it now, even if you are not used to the taste at first, even if you are sweating just to buy coffee, but this is a new thing, and behind new things there are new opportunities..."
The great qiangzi was silent.
He and Ma Feng happened to have two different styles, one was flamboyant and the other was restrained. As for what happened later, that was a later matter.
"Okay, I listen to Mr. Peng, I will give the Internet a try." Da Qiangzi raised his coffee as wine, "If you have any questions, I will ask Mr. Peng again. But when you come to the capital, I have to do my duty as a landlord.
friendship……"
"No need, after all, I am a landlord," Peng Bo smiled, "In three days, Chen Fengfeng will come to pick you up and let's get together."
Wang Beihua had some disagreements with the two brothers. The two brothers were also on the outside of the Beijing circle. They all left a way to meet each other in the future. For some things, Peng Bo had to go out in person.
Not to mention Peng Bo, the advantage of Da Qiangzi is that he will do it to death if he sees something for sure. He immediately mobilized the few remaining employees and began to post it widely in the forums of major portal websites and vertical websites.
Advertising posts, and then promote products to interested customers through QQ.
"Mr. Liu, Pengbo.com and Sina.com have advertised for us." An employee who knew the Internet opened the pages of Pengbo.com and Sina.com, and Da Qiangzi was moved. The man who drank several cups of coffee here yesterday
, the image immediately became taller.
"Thank you, Mr. Peng. I will never forget it in the future." He wiped away the sweat mixed with tears, opened his hazy eyes, and entered a forum called best.
"I know Jingdong Multimedia. This is a company that sells all disks in Zhongguancun. Don't worry, there won't be any fake ones." Feeling very uneasy and without the domineering attitude of later generations, Da Qiangzi entered the forum, and immediately there was a comment from a moderator.
helped him.
On that day, they received 7 orders and gained 36 users within a week.
"Mr. Peng's words are indeed correct." After winning the first battle, Da Qiangzi was so encouraged that he simply reached an agreement with CDbest - the latter would help promote it, and he would get a commission for the other party.
The cooperation went extremely smoothly. Not only did the sales of opto-magnetic products increase significantly, but users also ordered other electronic products from JD.com, such as CPUs, hard drives and CD players.
Three days and three nights.
Da Qiangzi and several managers stayed on the forum and QQ day and night, posting and replying to posts in the early morning, and shipping goods everywhere early in the morning.
This is still a very primitive e-commerce model. Employees need to use paper to write down the customers who have made remittances. After the products are shipped, they will send text messages to inform customers of the courier number. If the customer is not far from Zhongguancun, employees will be arranged to drive the car by themselves.
Door-to-door delivery by minivan.
But it was this very rustic model that slowly restored the company's morale and cleared the inventory caused by SARS.
With business improving day by day, Da Qiangzi began to feel that this was a more promising business model than offline stores. The "Gomei Dream" in his heart was gradually replaced by the new "e-commerce dream."
"Mr. Peng, I listen to you." In Peng Bo's courtyard, under the grape trellis that blocked out the sun, Da Qiangzi almost burst into tears while drinking coffee, "I want to do e-commerce."
"Then there needs to be a website that specializes in e-commerce. Don't worry, there will be dedicated people from Sina.com and Pengbo.com to help you, but have you figured out how to do it?"
"I've thought about it, cut off the offline business, and fully transform into e-commerce. Even after SARS is over, I won't go back to the Zhongguancun Station counter..."
A tycoon is a tycoon. He knows that his resources are not enough to support the simultaneous development of online and offline channels, or to make both channels "number one". In a situation where one must choose one from the other, this former "Internet"
"Blind" is on the side of e-commerce.
Three days later, Jingdong’s multimedia website was officially launched, which can sell more than 100 products. Of course, compared with later generations, it was just a rough product web catalog, with two or three pictures for each product.
But, similarly, this website also has a sentence, which is placed in the most prominent position of the Xinsheng website - paying tribute to Mr. Peng, my most beloved brother - the father of JD.com!
Since then, JD.com has begun to write another story, a story of working hard in another world.
We all know the story behind it. Da Qiangzi made JD.com the second largest e-commerce platform in China.
I really don't want to be a father!
Peng Bo, who was sitting in the car, wildly denied that he really didn't want to occupy this title. He was just afraid that one family would become too big. There would be no tigers in the mountains and the monkey would be the overlord. He took advantage of Ma Feng's lack of success to support a second child.
.
Of course, he would not do anything for nothing. He has invested money in both companies. No matter who is first and who is second in the future, Peng Bo's investment will be indispensable.
He couldn't help but sigh. In the future, in the blink of an eye, 17 years later, China will become the world's largest Internet market. Some of the Internet companies that grew up during the SARS epidemic will become absolute giants in the market, while others will fall after their rise.
In the torrent of time.
These Internet companies did not make money during the national crisis in 2003. They just provided services and products suitable for people during the national crisis, and grew by the way.
Some controversies also fade over time, slowly disappearing into waves of new public opinions.
Whether people like it or not, history sometimes has striking similarities.
"Let's go and see Degang." Guo Degang came out from Pengbo Media and was basically left unattended, but Peng Bo was always paying attention to him and Deyun Society.
"I heard that he didn't do well." Chen Feng may have secretly visited Peng Bo, the former host of Pengbo Media, while he was busy doing business. But according to what he saw with his own eyes, the attendance rate was really not high. During the SARS period,
, maybe his yard will have to be closed.
"Mr. Peng, do you want me to call him in advance?" Chen Feng was really afraid that he would not be able to find anyone. Maybe, Guo Degang is really not in the capital now.
