Chapter 154 Send Ma Xiaoyun a word: I'm not interested in money...
“Tmall Mall and Alipay Business Plan?”
Lin Chen was stunned when he saw the title of the plan.
Tmall Mall and Alipay?
Was it these two that Ma Xiaoyun wanted him to invest in?
What makes Lin Chen a little strange is, doesn't Taobao already exist? Why does Ma Xiaoyun still want to build Tmall Mall?
There is also Alipay. Could it be said that it has not appeared in this world yet?
With doubts, Lin Chen picked up the plan and read it carefully while listening to Ma Xiaoyun's explanation.
It turns out that Lin Chen had overlooked two key aspects of e-commerce in this world.
The first point is that in this world’s e-commerce platforms, there is no such thing as free store opening.
At present, all e-commerce platforms, whether it is Taobao founded by Ma Xiaoyun or some other e-commerce platforms that Lin Chen has never heard of, all use store opening fees as the main profit model of the platform.
That is to say, if a store wants to open on the platform, it must pay a certain fee and provide a portion of the profit to the platform as a commission.
This is the most basic business model of e-commerce platforms in the world today, and is regarded by countless people as the most basic principle of e-commerce.
The second is Alipay.
In Lin Chen's world, even grocery hawkers would use Alipay, but this world didn't yet have it because Ma Xiaoyun had already sold Alibaba to someone else before she proposed the concept of Alipay.
So in this world, if you want to make a payment on the Internet, you usually use the online banking of different banks and the bank's dedicated payment software.
But now, the plan Ma Xiaoyun wants to propose to Lin Chen is to subvert the above two points.
Ma Xiaoyun's Tmall Mall plans to become a completely free e-commerce trading platform, providing all free services to merchants, and will also proactively provide certain assistance and technical guidance to merchants.
As for Alipay, Ma Xiaoyun ambitiously hopes to build it into a third-party payment platform that can replace online banks.
After Lin Chen roughly read the plan, Ma Xiaoyun had basically finished his explanation.
He looked at Lin Chen with some anxiety and said, "Director Lin, my project is roughly like this. Do you have any opinions?"
Lin Chen did not answer immediately, but looked at Liu Xing aside and asked, "What do you think?"
Liu Xing looked embarrassed and said: "Director Lin, I'm sorry, I didn't expect Mr. Ma's plan to be so...radical."
Liu Xing hesitated before using the word "radical".
After all, in his opinion, Ma Xiaoyun's plan is a bit too crazy. Nowadays, the mainstream model of online commerce is the charging model, which has become an industry rule.
After all, in the eyes of many people, an e-commerce platform is actually a shopping mall on the Internet. Since it is a shopping mall, it should collect rent from the merchants who enter it. Otherwise, how can the platform make money? Should it find customers to collect entrance fees?
Therefore, charging fees from merchants has become a consensus in the industry. Whoever does not charge fees will lose money.
However, Ma Xiaoyun's free model completely subverted this consensus, which made it difficult for Liu Xing to accept it.
As for Alipay, let alone it. If Tmall Mall fails, Alipay will be even less likely.
After expressing his concerns, Liu Xing said with regret: "So, Mr. Ma, to be honest, I personally am not optimistic about your plan."
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoyun showed regret on his face, but he didn't want to give up just yet because Lin Chen, who had the final say, had not yet spoken.
So he wanted to give it a final try.
"Director Lin, I don't agree with Mr. Liu's views. My plan is a bit risky, but if you give me six minutes, I can explain to you in detail the possibility of success of this plan."
Does Lin Chen need Ma Xiaoyun to explain?
Of course it's not necessary.
In fact, when he saw this plan, Lin Chen discovered that Ma Xiaoyun's plan was actually exactly the same as his plan in his previous life.
However, in this world, because Taobao has been launched, Ma Xiaoyun uses the name of Tmall Mall. But in fact, the model of this Tmall Mall is the Taobao of Lin Chen's previous life, but it is the Taobao that is now controlled by others.
The model is somewhat similar to Tmall Mall in another world.
Since Taobao's model was successful in Lin Chen's previous life, will Taobao, renamed Tmall Mall, fail in this world?
Lin Chen expressed doubts.
However, in order to be sure, he still used his golden finger to calculate.
The probability that Ma Xiaoyun’s Tmall Mall and Alipay will succeed is... 100%!
That’s it!
Once here, Lin Chen had already made his decision.
"You don't need to say anything."
When Ma Xiaoyun heard this, although she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't hide her disappointment.
Could it be that I, Ma Xiaoyun, fell once and could never get up again?
Shaking her head, Ma Xiaoyun bowed to Lin Chen and said, "Thank you, Director Lin, for giving me this opportunity today. Business cannot be done without mercy. I am still very happy to meet Director Lin."
After saying that, Ma Xiaoyun stretched out her hand to get her share of the plan back.
But at this moment, a hand was pressed on the plan, preventing Ma Xiaoyun from taking it away.
Ma Xiaoyun slowly raised her head and saw Lin Chen smiling at him.
"Director Lin, you..."
"Ma Xiaoyun, I'm investing in your plan."
"ah?!"
Ma Xiaoyun and Liu Xing were dumbfounded at the same time.
"Lin, Director Lin, are you telling the truth?" Ma Xiaoyun said with a look of disbelief.
"It's true." Lin Chen nodded and said.
"Director Lin!" Liu Xing said immediately: "Mr. Ma's plan is a huge investment. It is a completely free e-commerce platform. The initial investment will be an astronomical figure!"
"Astronomical numbers? How much is that?" Lin Chen asked, "One billion, two billion?"
Lin Chen glanced at Liu Xing, and then at Ma Xiaoyun who was also dumbfounded.
He smiled.
"Mr. Ma Xiaoyun, no matter how much your project costs, I will take it."
"To tell you the truth, I am not interested in money. I will give you whatever you want to spend."
Not interested in money? Ma Xiaoyun was dumbfounded. He just thought this sentence was awesome and easy to pretend!
You must write it down yourself and tell others this in the future!
Liu Xing was also stunned, wondering why he didn't realize that his boss loved to pretend so much?
This is so simple. If you are not interested in money, why would you start a company?
It's a pity that Lin Chen is his boss, so Liu Xing can only swallow these words in his own stomach.
Although both of them complained in their hearts, they coincided with each other. The future Liu Xing and Ma Xiaoyun both said the same words to the people around them on different occasions. When they said this, the two people discovered that Lin Chen had
It was so satisfying to say these words. Just saying them made me feel so happy. It was a powerful tool for showing off!
Liu Xing was even more jealous of Ma Xiaoyun because he only said this in private, but Ma Xiaoyun actually misappropriated Lin Chen's words directly in public, in front of countless people.
Although Ma Xiaoyun was already a billionaire at that time, Liu Xing still couldn't help but complain to him, stealing the words of our Director Lin, Ma Xiaoyun, you are shameless!
