Chapter 163 161 The Future and the Dark Clouds


    Liu Wanying is curious about the bet between Boss Yu and Liu Jiankai.


    After listening to the content, she felt that Vancl''s analysis was similar to her research on Vipshop.


    The two often talk about business matters. Liu Wanying still remembers the sinking market that Boss Yu talked about. Today, I didn’t talk about this, but just expressed my agreement: “Vancl’s future is indeed difficult to leave, and there are still pressure from several companies on it.”


    Yu Xing was walking on the street with Xiaoying now, and he didn''t want to talk about these things, but just smiled: "I saw that Bi Sheng heard the news of Vipshop financing that Liu Jiankai said, and it was really like he was hit hard."


    "US$30 million, if Vipshop adjusts its brand strategy, its subsequent financing will be more supported." Liu Wanying gave a small judgment and forced a change of topic, "Do you eat ice cream? Buy two."


    Yu Xing nodded: "Yes, thank you."


    Liu Wanying had to trot all the way to buy ice cream.


    Yu Xing realized after getting it: "Do you want me to buy it?"


    Liu Wanying curled her lips: "No, I just like to run around. The weather is so hot, and it''s windy to run."


    Yu Xing smiled and the ice cream was particularly sweet.


    Liu Wanying ate half of ice cream and asked casually: "I want to buy a car, what kind of thing do you think is good?"


    Yu Xing had finished the ice cream in a few seconds, looked left and right to look for the trash can, and asked back, "What''s the budget?"


    "The budget is not dead. I don''t know the car. If it were you, what car would you buy?" Liu Wanying switched angles.


    Yu Xing smiled and said, "I want to buy the Rolls-Royce Phantom!"


    Liu Wanying blinked: "How much does this cost?"


    "I read the news on Sohu two days ago, and I saw it. It said it was eight or nine million yuan, but it was a convertible." Yu Xing replied seriously.


    Liu Wanying coughed and corrected her statement: "It is still necessary to get a one-point budget."


    "If you buy it, I recommend it, I will not buy it." Yu Xing thought for a while and suggested, "You take the time to go and have some social attributes. Just look at the mainstream products of those three luxury brands. Let''s see which one you like. Well, I feel that you are not suitable for driving Audi. The current 7 Series is quite good, but Mercedes-Benz''s current S series is the W221 chassis, which I heard is good."


    Liu Wanying suppressed some sense of happiness and finally asked, "Is that so? It sounds like you have some research. Which one is better, the S or 7 series? I still like it to be better."


    Yu Xing hesitated: "I think S is good. You go and have a look. It depends on yourself if you like this kind of thing."


    Liu Wanying nodded with a smile: "Go to see it in two days, and buy it when you have money."


    "Then wait for the signal of Paulson and the others'' blessing." Yu Xing knew this wealthy time expectation, and because of Xiaoying''s choice to buy a car, two candidates from Bai Xiaosheng''s "Dialogue" column suddenly appeared, and said with a smile, "When I have time in the future, I will visit Wang Chuanfu, who visited BYD. He was interviewed by the media two years ago and said that he would be the first in China in 2015 and the first in the world in 2025. I want to see how it has been going on in the past two years."


    Liu Wanying frowned: "You are so angry? Are you going to visit or look for materials?"


    She naturally thought of the drainage of Bai Xiaosheng''s development during this period.


    "A visit, a simple visit is the small column that talks to Liu Qiangdong and Xu Xin before." Yu Xing said seriously, "Oh yes, if you have the opportunity to go to the United States, there is an electric car over there, and I want to hear his views on industrial development."


    Liu Wanying easily said the American that Boss Yu said: "Is it the Tesla that makes sports cars? That Musk?"


    Yu Xing looked at Xiaoying with surprise, just like Wang Chuanfu talking about the company''s goals would only be considered a big blow. Musk is not very famous now, and even in a few years, he will have to be ridiculed by the Lenovo president in person.


    "Hey, do I know some industry trends are very strange?" Liu Wanying read Boss Yu''s surprise and said angrily, "Do you think I''m just watching TV every day? I have to watch a lot of information and industry cutting-edge trends every day."


    Yu Xing gave a thumbs up: "I thought you were studying lipsticks every day, otherwise, why would you always look good?"


    Liu Wanying said with some amusedness: "That was a previous study."


    As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly had a natural judgment in her mind and asked, "Hmm? Are you optimistic about BYD and Tesla?"


    "Yes." Yu Xing added without hesitation, "It''s not that I am optimistic about it myself. Buffett also bought a lot of BYD stocks last year, and this industry has prospects."


    Liu Wanying nodded and said, "Then I have time to study more."


    Yu Xingheran: "Are you so listened to advice?"


    "Trust you." Liu Wanying continued, "I''m also curious about Buffett''s decision this time, which seems to be inconsistent with his past logic."


    Yu Xing pondered: "If you can make a lot of profits from Jiahan Forestry this time, you can really consider investing more, which is a forehand way to do too much."


    Liu Wanying said with a smile: "People, the standards are always different. You see, you show strong disgust when facing the influence of today''s capital. This time, you always talk about vertical e-commerce, and want to exert a stronger influence on Bisheng''s Letao.com."


    "This is called human subjectivity exists objectively." Yu Xing pondered his thoughts for a while and sighed, "I don''t have to see Bi Sheng''s success or failure. I just want to make this market more exciting."


    Liu Wanying pointed out the following words: "More exciting? No, more cruel."


    Yu Xing shook his head, he was not that bad, of course, maybe not that good either.


    As for the cruelty of market competition...


    In fact, compared with the entrepreneurial moment last year, Bi Sheng has deeply realized its truth and cruelty in the past month.


    30 million US dollars...


    Vipshop was actually only established last year, and it was even three months later than Letao.com and was founded in August.


    It takes less than a year to complete the whole game, and Vipshop’s development seems to be extremely amazing.


    Bi Sheng changed his banner three times, and his mentality has always been relatively leisurely, but after learning about the competitor''s financing actions from Liu Jiankai, he really suffered from insomnia.


    Of course the special sale model is good, otherwise I wouldn’t have made this choice.


    But, Vipshop, why are you so good?


    Bi Sheng was confused and woke up the next morning. Then he learned about a less favorable news that a new Jushang.com, which also wanted to do a special sale model, was established in Shencheng.com. Its boss has a similar background as the founder of Vipshop, and has done international trade, especially clothing trade.


    New players have also poured into the special sales track?


    Bi Sheng suddenly felt angry, and after washing up, he went straight to Bai Xiaosheng''s headquarters.


    As a result, he didn''t say hello in advance, and there was no blockage after arriving at the company.


    "The doctor went to talk about advertising." Kong Huilin knew that Mr. Bi and Mr. Yu had a good relationship and informed him of his whereabouts.


    "When will I come back? Then I''ll wait for him here." Bi Sheng did not call to disturb him.


    Kong Huilin estimated, "You have to finish lunch, Mr. Bi, please go downstairs to have dinner first. When the doctor comes back, I will call you."


    Bi Sheng shook his head: "I just ate it before I came, I won''t eat it anymore, you guys go."


    Seeing that this person was not up to the point, Kong Huilin had to smile and said, "Okay, Mr. Bi, then you go to the conference room first, and the doctor''s office is waiting for someone to come and clean it."


    Bi Sheng then suddenly realized that uh, he didn''t let himself stay in the president''s office.


    He glanced at Yu Xing''s computer, guessing that it was full of Bai Xiaosheng''s information, and silently stood up and went to the next door.


    Bi Sheng waited for a long time before coming to Yu Xing.


    "Why didn''t Mr. Bi go back to the capital?" Yu Xing was a little puzzled, "Wipshop has raised funds, shouldn''t you hurry to make a purchase? If others don''t invest for you, can Baidu not invest for you?"


    Bi Sheng shook his head slightly: "I have been away from Baidu for several years. No one is willing to invest. I directly want to invest with Robin, and I can''t hold that face." Robin is the English name of Baidu Robin.


    "How can you be shameless when starting a business?" Yu Xing smiled, "First bring in the money, then see how to do it. Go to Chen Nian and ask Lei Jun, what''s wrong with me when you come again."


    Bi Sheng reminded: "You are the independent director of Letao.com."


    Yu Xing really forgot about this.


    He stopped his hand that he wanted to get the documents and advised: "Mr. Bi, I advise you to do some solid results before talking about it."


    Bi Sheng asked, "Is this the truth?"


    Yu Xing shook his head: "It''s not the truth."


    Bi Sheng: “…”


    Yu Xing was surprised: "Why do you all like to ask me more now?"


    Bi Sheng said sincerely: "It''s probably because he suffers a loss and has a long memory."


    He mentioned the industry news he noticed today that there is a Jushang.com that sells specials in Shanghai, which seems to be learning from Vipshop.


    "It''s a bit unexpected, but it''s not too surprising." Yu Xing changed his mind, "I seemed to say before that since this direction is right, well, it makes sense if I don''t say it, then there will naturally be others joining the competition."


    Bi Sheng also thought of what Yu Xing said in the morning, so he rushed over.


    Dr. Yu''s words are being verified. Is this considered good news?


    Bi Sheng said sincerely: "Mr. Yu, I reflected on it all night yesterday. I admit that I don''t understand e-commerce, but I admit that I admit that I don''t know e-commerce, but I admit that I don''t think I will fail. This is a conceit."


    "It''s right for Kestrel to not vote for me, and Chen Nian said that I was right for half a bottle of water."


    "Yesterday, I heard Mr. Liu talk about the brand choice, and now I think it''s right."


    "Mr. Yu, give me a sincere judgment. Does Letao still have room?"


    Yu Xing looked at Bi Sheng in surprise: "Actually, Kestrel really wanted to invest in LeTao.com."


    Bi Sheng reflected: "We didn''t do very well."


    "Yes." Yu Xing wondered, "I didn''t expect that you, as a Baidu general assistant, would follow you to go public and ring the bell, and you have financial freedom. How do you do things like this."


    He was still a little amused and amused: "It''s not that I dare not talk about my judgment, but I''m afraid that you will be too scared. You suddenly change the company model after listening to the words. If you want to listen to my judgment and make decisions, the company will collapse in the future, don''t you drive to hit me?"


    Bi Sheng raised his right hand: "Absolutely no collision!"


    "The trouble of being a teacher is to be a teacher." Yu Xing reflected on it and stood up and walked, "Mr. Bi, I think the future window of Letao.com is gradually narrowing, unless you make a quick decision to get money into the company, and then immediately turn to second-tier and third-tier brands, and maybe you can compete with Vipshop."


    Bi Sheng stood up suddenly: "Okay! I''ll smash all my wealth now!"


    Yu Xing was frightened: "Hey, don''t, don''t..."


    Bi Sheng sat down again: "Hehe, kidding."


    "You are a person who sells toys, shoes and clothes like this... can do such a thing." Yu Xing shook his head.


    "Reference, I am a reference." Bi Sheng emphasized, "My brain can think by itself."


    Yu Xing took two steps and suddenly asked, "There is a store celebration event on JD.com, which is June 18th. Do you know?"


    Bi Sheng nodded: "I know there is something going on."


    "JD.com''s store celebration 618 has been around for several years, but its monthly performance in June of this year''s store celebration event is close to its annual revenue." Yu Xing asked again, "Do you know?"


    Bi Sheng shook his head.


    Yu Xing said again: "I have news that Taobao will also have a promotion in the second half of the year. Do you know what this means?"


    Bi Sheng hesitated for two seconds: "Their development speed is accelerating?"


    "Yes, in the acceleration, Taobao and JD.com are like snowballs finding wet and long ramps, getting faster and bigger." Yu Xing talked about the industry situation, "During this time, we talked about Vipshop, we talked about Lefeng.com, we talked about Vancl, we talked about your Letao.com, we talked about different models and situations of these vertical e-commerce, but they all have an implicit background."


    "Everyone''s destiny is not very much in his own hands."


    "The e-commerce market is gradually a bit like a battle royale. If it is slow, you have to die. If it is in the wrong direction, you have to die."


    "There are already dark clouds covering the head of vertical e-commerce."


    "Taobao is the largest, JD.com is the fastest growing flower, and there is also the Penguin, the largest traffic giant in China. Penguin has not been successful in doing Paipai.com in the past, but it will not give up on the e-commerce piece, and at least it will have to exert influence. Its traffic can have an impact."


    "So, Liu Jiankai and I bet that by 2011, Vanke will have fundamental changes."


    "You don''t burn your boat at this time, and you won''t fight a **** road. Bi Sheng, I advise you. I sincerely advise you to stop, take advantage of your wealth and enjoy your life. If you have nothing to do, find celebrities to have a meal and sing. Isn''t that easy?"


    Yu Xing turned around and looked at Bi Sheng.


    Bi Sheng frowned and said, "It has been several years since I left Baidu for such a life. If I do this, I will have no passion for life."


    "Yes, starting a business is passionate, and failing to start a business is even more passionate. When you have no money, you have to slap yourself." Yu Xing sat down and smiled.


    "Mr. Yu, you always make sense." Bi Sheng thought for a while and said this.


    Yu Xing said frankly: "I look from behind, it''s not worth mentioning."


    Bi Sheng felt that this was a kind of boast. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "You mentioned Alibaba and Penguin just now, where is Baidu?"


    Yu Xing shook his head: "I can''t understand it, I won''t comment."


    Bi Sheng frowned, feeling that he was considering his own feelings, but Yu Xing didn''t look like someone who considered other people''s feelings.


    If you don’t comment, it seems to have commented again.


    "Vippines'' financing has indeed shocked me a lot. I will ask Director Xu for a leave next weekend. I will also visit brands with different positionings, and then look at Vipshop and our users." Bi Sheng made a decision, "I will weigh the trade-offs."


    Yu Xing said with some concern: "Investigation and thinking, this is OK. Don''t be so scared that you can throw your money into it."


    Bi Sheng shook his head: "Don''t worry, I won''t."


    He stood up and said seriously: "I''ll go and precipitate first."


    Yu Xing emphasized again: "Don''t don''t invest, you''ll spend all your money."


    "What do you think?" Bi Sheng sneered, "Do you really think you have seen through me? You''re leaving, I won''t go back to the capital, I''ll go to Yangcheng first."


    He said goodbye and left, standing in the downward elevator thinking, Yu Xing was so accurate.


    However, I don’t have only my net worth, I can still leverage.
