Chapter 189: Nothing is allowed
September is the school season.
Yu Xing suddenly realized this when he saw someone mentioned the internship on his website. Then, he recalled that the last time he talked about the school season was because it would have a significant impact on Guiai.com''s business.
From the last school season to this one, Bai Xiaosheng has been established for almost a year.
As a workplace platform, Bai Xiaosheng is actually quite friendly to college students. On the one hand, the community has regular graduation season activities. On the other hand, those newcomers who have received help and the seniors in the workplace who have seen this scene have become a relatively active user group in this regard.
Of course, Bai Xiaosheng is the most active people.
Thanks to the several outbreaks of the website mechanism, everyone is accustomed to discussing their own issues with their friends in the community, and communicating with various situations including but not limited to business, salary, etc. However, in mid-September, Bai Xiaosheng welcomed the second lawsuit from Vanke after Jiahan Forestry''s lawsuit, which has become an important topic in the past few days.
Everyone can eat any melon, and this time it is Bai Xiaosheng''s turn to eat it himself.
"Bai Xiaosheng is now a small website. I heard that it has exceeded 1 million users, but the news has not been released. Are you just worried about this?"
"In principle, Vanke sued the price comparison website under Baixiaosheng, which has nothing to do with the paparazzi community."
"There are too many users, so it can''t be hidden. Why did Qimei Electronics'' post on a large-scale job-hopping trip suddenly sink last week? It still feels under pressure from the outside world."
Vanke sued Bai Xiaosheng on September 14, on the grounds that the price comparison network it operated used crawlers to capture data and information on its own website, infringing on Fanke''s legal rights and interests such as commercial secrets, causing economic losses and reputation damage, resulting in reduced traffic and loss of users, and requiring Bai Xiaosheng to immediately stop the relevant behavior, publicly apologize and claim 2 million yuan.
Bai Xiaosheng gave a public response one day later. First, he believed that "the price of e-commerce products is public information", second, he emphasized that "his own has complied with the robots agreement on Fanke''s website", third, "Vanke''s user loss and traffic reduction have nothing to do with Bai Xiaosheng, and more should consider their own business operations."
The robots agreement, also known as the crawler agreement, means that the website stipulates which pages can be crawled and cannot be crawled, but it does not have the ability to enforce it and is a conventional rule.
In short, Bai Xiaosheng and Fanke had a small interaction.
Vancl is the second company to sue Bai Xiaosheng, and it is also the second e-commerce company to criticize commodity price comparison after Dangdang.com. It is worth mentioning that Liu Hao, who recorded "You''re the One" instead of Yu Xing, had a fierce quarrel with Vancl''s Chen Nian on the show.
Whether it is prosecution or quarrel, the most important reason why Vancl is so angry this time is that Bai Xiaosheng''s price comparison network has gradually achieved its effect.
Price Network actually does not receive much publicity budget. Although the financing is successful, Bai Xiaosheng mainly does the two promotions of his own platform and recruitment business, and only allocates part of the advertising revenue. After all, the main site is the core.
However, Vancl''s popular products are low-priced products represented by T-shirts, and the target group is young people or young people active on the Internet. However, the price comparison of Vancl, Letao.com is the price of similar products similar to Vancl, Letao.com and Vipshop.
Vanke was founded in 2008 and its brand power is not strong. The final products handled by Letao.com and Vipshop still have a certain brand power, such as PPG.
Vanke made revenue of 100 million last year and aimed at 1 billion this year. It is impacting the market of PPG for the industry''s predecessors.
PPG is a clothing brand established in 2005, and it is based on the online direct sales path of high quality and low price.
However, there were problems with PPG''s business strategy and supply chain management also made great mistakes. It has been gradually overtaken by Vanke from last year to this year, and there have also been news that suppliers publicly demanded payments for the goods.
The capital chain is tight, the inventory backlog is severe, and the market share has been declining. PPG has been surpassed by Vanke, a rising star.
What is the solution?
Letao.com, which transformed from selling shoes to handling the final products, came to the door at this time.
Serious backlog?
What you are looking for is that you have serious backlogs!
Difficult to recover money?
My account period is the fastest on the Internet!
PPG hit it off with Letao.com. The former provides discounted supply, the latter claims undiscounted quality, the former has no funds for advertising, and the latter is in the investment stage of promoting the website.
In addition, there are also young people living in Baixiao next to you who noticed the prices of similar products from the Price Comparison Network. Letao.com sold this for a while, and even the legendary PPG boss who had run away appeared again.
Did the PPG boss run away?
It seemed like he ran away, and even the executives resigned one after another.
But he is now showing up again and actively appeases the supplier, and seems to have the urge to do another fight.
It is precisely because of the PPG boss''s appearance that Vanke, who is imitating this brand, is naturally extremely unhappy. His competitors are obviously dying, but the resource diversion of PPG+Letao.com+Bibao.com+Bai Xiaosheng has brought it back to blood.
Chen Nian was completely unable to bear it at this point and directly initiated a lawsuit, with the main purpose of cutting off the resurrection of his direct competitors.
According to his original judgment, the big brother in the PPG industry will disappear completely by the end of the year at most.
Unfortunately, Bai Xiaosheng would rather respond than stop.
What’s even more troublesome is that PPG seems to have to learn from lessons, but instead learns operational ideas from Vanke.
Chen Nian never expected that this would happen in the second half of the year, nor did he expect that the Bai Xiaosheng website would have a wide range of radiation.
On September 21, while Chen Nian was thinking about market changes in the office, his assistant took the opportunity of sending documents to provide evidence of the impact of Bai Xiaosheng''s website.
"Mr. Chen, Yu Xing has more than 200,000 followers on Weibo. Do you want to register one too?"
Chen Nian was stunned and asked, "What is Weibo?"
"What Sina did is a platform that shortened the content of the blog. It was just launched last month." Assistant Hui reported, "Yu Xing was an account registered at the beginning of this month. Now he has 200,000 fans in half a month."
Chen Nian frowned and shook his head and refused, "What a fancy thing? Yu Xing likes to do these messy things, and Bi Sheng, he also follows him!"
Old friend Bi Sheng helped his competitors, which made Chen Nian feel very uncomfortable.
Although commercial competition belongs to commercial competition, Bisheng’s Letao.com is still using its original office address!
The assistant stopped talking, and the boss really didn''t like these.
Unlike Chen Nian, Yu Xing''s fans exceeded 200,000 this day, and he attached great importance to it and mentioned this matter specifically at the company meeting.
"My Weibo account was registered before and I just posted two random messages. I didn''t expect that there will be so many growing fans these days, so the company should pay attention to this promotion."
"Kong Huilin, look at what the resource docking of the Weibo platform is like, and invest when necessary."
"In addition, we also register an account for our price comparison network and the evaluations to be conducted at the end of the month to see if we can use the iPhone to attract the attention of potential users of smartphones."
Bai Xiaosheng''s evaluation team has been preparing for a while. The first evaluation product is China Unicom''s iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G that was announced last month by China Unicom, and its official launch date is October 30.
Because you can''t get the mainland version for the time being, Bai Xiaosheng will present the overseas version of iPhone 3G at the end of the month. When it is officially released, it will be made into the mainland version of iPhone 3GS.
Liu Hao, the vice president of recruitment attending the meeting, listened to these contents and asked curiously: "Is Mr. Yu very optimistic about the iPhone?"
"It''s not that I''m optimistic, it''s that it''s actually popular in the foreign market." Yu Xing shook his head, "Compared to Nokia, the experience brought by smartphones like iPhones is indeed different."
He said this again: "Weibo has streamlined the content of the blog, the introduction of iPhone smartphones into the mainland, and the 3G license issued in China this year. No matter how I look at it, I feel that the wave of mobile is very close. This is an opportunity we need to seize."
Lu Haiying said at this time: "Mr. Yu, I think this Sina Weibo seems to be using celebrities to attract users."
Yu Xing smiled and said, "So, am I a celebrity?"
"Yes, look at your Weibo, there are many users who hope that you will continue to record "You''re the ones"." Lu Haiying said seriously.
She browsed her senior brother’s Weibo and found that most of them were young viewers of "You''re the One", and some were famous for Bai Xiaosheng''s website, but the latter was obviously weaker than the former.
Yu Xing looked at Liu Hao: "Mr. Liu just quarreled with Chen Nian a few days ago. I have to quarrel again when I go."
Liu Hao laughed: "It likes this program." Yu Xing nodded slightly, it was indeed the case.
He thought for a few seconds: "This week won''t work. This week is an event for young entrepreneurs in Shanghai. Next week, it will be beneficial to the website."
Yu Xing had previously submitted a "Rural Commercial Cup" selection of young economic figures, sponsored by the Youth Entrepreneurs Association in Shencheng and Wenhui Daily, First Financial Daily and other media, and the way is the resource of today''s capital.
He was not sure whether the notice was due to the easing of the relationship caused by the establishment of the parents'' team, but it did appear after Liu Jiankai called himself again.
It seems that Mr. Xu''s anger seems to have loosened.
Anyway, Yu Xing is here, if there is no, there is nothing. If there is no, go. If there is no, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
After the meeting, everyone dispersed, and those who were busy recruiting were busy recruiting, those who were operating, and those who were promoting were promoting.
Yu Xing spared a lot before returning to the office.
A few seconds later, Secretary Zhang Yangxu put the hot tea on his desk.
Yu Xing smiled at him, feeling that he liked this two-faced person more and more.
He took a few sips, was a little distracted, and asked subconsciously: "How is Paulson doing recently?"
As soon as I said that, I suddenly realized that something was wrong and seemed not to ask myself.
Zhang Yangxu was not too surprised. He just felt that the boss was worried about his situation. Instead, he replied a little gratefully: "Paulson lost a lot of money due to the fraud of Jiahan Forestry. I saw his news the day before yesterday and had a statement optimistic about the price of gold. Bloomberg also reported that Paulson''s fund was long for gold."
Yu Xing listened to this and didn''t know that Fang Buwei commented for a while. He is Bai Xiaosheng now.
"Mr. Yu, do you think I should buy some gold?" Zhang Yangxu asked a small question at this time.
Yu Xing thought about Paulson''s operation for a while, then pondered for a moment and said, "Simply put, the economy is not good, and the price of gold will definitely rise in the future, but how high is the level of correction, this is a problem."
"The economy is recovering now. You can see signs from the rising curve of our recruitment business. The rebound in advertising prices is also a signal, which is considered a prophet of the warm duck in spring."
He glanced at the secretary and smiled, "Of course, you can buy it, it will definitely be cost-effective in the long run. I just thought about Paulson''s dynamic issue you mentioned, his opinion on the price of gold."
Zhang Yangxu asked: "He claims to be the number one hedge fund, but it doesn''t seem to be magical. Otherwise, how could he not see through such a rough scam as Jiahan Forestry?"
He has been collecting information as required recently, and has a comprehensive understanding of Paulson''s recent situation and has already known about Jiahan Forestry''s scam, so he feels that this person''s halo seems to be a bit exaggerated.
Yu Xing smiled and shook his head: "Do you think it would be impossible for him to gain a foothold in Wall Street and have such a reputation? Uh, I actually don''t understand it. It''s good to study these when you have time."
Zhang Yangxu nodded silently, feeling that the boss is really kind.
Yu Xing took another sip of tea, stretched his waist, and smiled and said, "As soon as Mr. Liu came and started the recruitment business, I felt much less pressure on my work. Now I need to do a job of website reputation."
Zhang Yangxu was concerned: "That Qimei Electronics'' job-hopping incident has no effect, right?"
Yu Xing shook his head and replied briefly: "It''s nothing, the department says hello, so let''s do it."
The large-scale job-hopping of Qimei Electronics was still suppressed by saying hello, but this kind of phone call from the administrative department must be implemented. It is said that the reason is related to the development of the domestic panel industry.
After receiving the call, Yu Xing did not ask in detail, nor did he take stubbornness into this regard.
However, this is still a small reminder. Bai Xiaosheng and him personally need to further improve the threshold for being able to deal with emergencies.
This hidden risk was mentioned when capital first started to contact today, and it is still very targeted.
On Sunday morning, Yu Xing did not bring anyone else, but only brought Chairman Song Yufeng to attend the Youth Entrepreneurship Sharing Event. He was still talking about the shaping of corporate and personal images on the way.
"It seems that there is no part of my speech today." Yu Xing sat in the passenger seat and thoughtfully, "I called and asked, and I also talked, but I didn''t give it to you."
Song Yufeng, the chairman of the driving car, smiled and said, "Then you have to interact. When interacting, see how to grab the shots."
Yu Xing pondered: "How to steal the shot?"
"Cure Chen Nian? Cure Jiahan Forestry?" Song Yufeng had an idea, "Why, curse Xu Xin?"
Yu Xing frowned: "What are you bad ideas about this? I''m not that kind of person."
Song Yufeng complained in his heart that I would never have thought of such an idea before I met you.
Yu Xing thought about it and hinted: "You come to the scene and think of a solution."
Song Yufeng almost laughed: "Brother Xing, what can I think of?"
Yu Xing could only make it clear: "Didn''t you charge any car fees before?"
Song Yufeng: “…”
This is indeed a name I accepted before I met Brother Xing.
He thought, "Then I''ll give it a try."
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the scene.
Song Yufeng first went outside to get some budget, and then went to the hotel front desk to ask for a few red envelopes, but he still felt that this was too simple and crude.
"Brother Xing, who is here to protect him?" Song Yufeng entered the venue and found the boss.
"Director Liu, I just went to say that I wanted to go on stage to speak, but he still couldn''t do it." Yu Xing signaled to the person in front, and pointed to the host and media leader next to him.
Song Yufeng locked his target, put on the professional card, and slowly walked over to find the opportunity to be single.
About five minutes later, he saw Director Liu leave alone and quickly approaching the other party.
"Hello, Director Liu, I am Song Yufeng, Chairman of Bai Xiaosheng." Song Yufeng shook hands enthusiastically and introduced himself.
Director Liu just said "um" softly, knowing that this is here to speak again.
He had met Bai Xiaosheng''s president just now, but today''s speeches were arranged, so there was no need to make adjustments.
Director Liu remained calm and planned to reject the person in front of him after listening to a few words.
The connection has been used for a long time, what else can I say?
It may be about the significance of young people''s entrepreneurship, or it may be about the support of graduates'' entrepreneurship.
Or maybe, just pester it.
Hey, no, why did you stuff your red envelope into your pocket?
Director Liu frowned, reached out and patted the person in front of him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "No more than an example. At most, you can adjust it for two minutes. Just say a few words and let everyone know each other."
It’s not easy for young people. Forget it, let’s not take the example.
