Chapter 198 Melee
Yu Xing’s idea of ??Penguin’s upper-level strategy has been revised.
He thought this was valuable, but he didn''t know if it could be used.
As for the exchanges with Bu Guangqi and Gu Sibin, although their judgments on vertical e-commerce competition are similar, the direction of solving problems is different. In particular, Gu Sibin has the blessing of Penguin and does not think that China''s B2C market must be from JD.com.
Yu Xing didn''t know everything, and he also said a lot of real ideas.
However, in the face of Gu Sibin''s recruitment...
Although there was not much consensus, Gu Sibin still mentioned the invitation again while having a meal.
"Mr. Gu, thank you so much for your approval of me." Yu Xing declined with a smile, "If possible, I still want to list the Bai Xiaosheng website."
Gu Sibin asked with bright eyes: "Mr. Yu, do you think Penguin and Yixun cannot make B2C?"
"This is not true. The e-commerce market is so big. What does it mean to fail?" Yu Xing said of his own considerations, "I just already have my own company. As an entrepreneur, I talked with Mr. Liu of JD.com last year. JD.com had difficulty in financing at that time. He said that what he feared most was that once he failed, he could not face the employees who followed him. I actually felt the same way. So, if possible, I hope to successfully start a business and give employees and myself a phased result."
Gu Sibin clinked his glasses, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, I think you just don''t believe in the ability of penguins."
Yu Xing felt that it was a bit inconsistent with the Penguin executive, so he was not so tactful and asked back, "Mr. Gu, do you believe in your company?"
Gu Sibin replied without hesitation: "Of course I believe it!"
"Yes, I believe in my company, too." Yu Xing pointed to himself, "Besides, I am also the company''s major shareholder. If Mr. Gu cannot do business well, he can resign and jump to work with the halo of Penguin. I can''t. If I abandon Bai Xiaosheng, people will say that I am the founder of Bai Xiaosheng. Our situation is different, so I can only wish Penguin and Yi Xun a successful cooperation."
Gu Sibin shook his head slightly, and finally no intention of recruiting him. It was not that there was no response, but he just felt that the other party was a little arrogant, so that would be fine.
After the dinner, Yu Xing and Liu Wanying exchanged simple greetings and said goodbye and left.
"I have absolute confidence in the future of Yixun.com." Bu Guangqi also has to express his attitude, "The in-depth cooperation between Yixun and Penguin will inevitably shock the domestic e-commerce market."
Gu Sibin smiled and patted Bu Guangqi on the shoulder, and said cheerfully, "I think so too."
He shook his head again: "Bai Xiaosheng''s Yu Xing is still relatively young, and he doesn''t know the size and resources of our penguins."
Bu Guangqi nodded with a smile: "Young people are always prone to being excited."
Gu Sibin turned around and walked back to the hotel. Although he didn''t recruit Yu Xing, he didn''t feel a pity. Well, this person has some ideas, it''s okay.
Yu Xing and Liu Wanying on the other side were walking in the evening breeze. They drank but did not drive, and planned to walk for a while before taking the subway back.
"What do you think of this Penguin elite?" Liu Wanying knew that Yu Xing was sniping at Penguin, so she was curious about how he felt when he saw the target executive.
"It''s pretty good, very confident, and very in line with Penguin''s development." Yu Xing smiled, "Penguin''s Paipai.com is doing C2C, but it was broken by Alibaba. Now it has changed to B2C to do e-commerce, and it is quite determined."
Liu Wanying commented: "Well, it must have the cost of trial and error."
Yu Xing touched Xiaoying''s hand, took a few steps and said, "I''m afraid that the penguins will not have the determination to persevere."
He said: "Our sniping next year may not be successful, so I won''t talk about this. Even so, Yixun''s development of learning JD.com''s B2C will inevitably be to make heavy assets, and it will inevitably be a long-term competition with high investment. Penguin has the funds and resources, but will it spend its energy on this long competition?"
"To do B2C, it is inevitable that the duration will be long. Once the duration is long, there will be more changes. Mobile is a trend that everyone knows, but everyone doesn''t know how mobile will change. Therefore, this kind of alliance between Penguin and Yixun is not worthy of optimism."
Yu Xing gave a summary.
Liu Wanying reviewed this logical chain, thought about it carefully for a while, and smiled and said, "It seems that this is true. I really have a little difficulty in imagining that Internet companies like Penguin will focus on B2C''s asset-heavy asset model in the next ten years of mobile."
"Yes, both sides refute each other." Yu Xing took Xiaoying''s hand and said, "It''s not like us."
Liu Wanying suggested: "It is not touching to say such things with the smell of alcohol."
Yu Xing smiled and put down his hand: "I don''t say anything anymore. I feel like holding your hand like this, blowing the autumn wind, everything will be beautiful."
He really stopped talking, just walking like this.
But Liu Wanying really thinks this is beautiful.
…
Some of the grassroots entrepreneurs’ slight objections are not worth mentioning.
In mid-October, Penguin officially announced its investment in Yixun.com, which means that Yixun.com really wants to make great strides in the B2C field, which means that the price war it launched first will continue.
The initial fuse was the comparison of electrical appliance prices of Price Bijing.com, followed by Yixun.com''s fight, JD.com''s response, Suning.com''s participation in the war, and the accompanying public opinion voices.
The situation is a bit chaotic, but BiPin.com has not forgotten its original intention and has been optimizing its information display. This move ushered in a huge increase in traffic and, as well as criticism from the parties involved.
Business competition is inevitable, but the other party who keeps jumping around to provoke trouble is even more hated.
On October 21, the scope of the price war did not narrow, but expanded further. This time, Gome, which had internal problems, also added it, and as soon as it entered the market, it was shaking the earth.
Gome’s vice president was interviewed by Sina and said that Gome will not avoid any form of price war. From 8 pm on the 21st, the entire price of Gome Electrical Appliances Online Mall will be 5% lower than JD.com. Starting from this Wednesday, more than 1,000 offline stores in Gome will maintain unified online and offline prices.
This statement shocked everyone inside and outside the circle.
Unlike Suning who played some tricks on Suning.com, Gome started a real and comprehensive war with extraordinary significance.
Not only did Suning hold an internal meeting immediately, Xu Xin, who had just flew back to Shencheng from Beijing, immediately flew to Beijing. The traffic of the price comparison network increased again, and the unified online and offline prices were unified, which facilitated its own information collection.
That night, Yu Xing was interested in analyzing Gome''s dynamics, and another small news expanded the stage of this round of price war.
Vancl''s Chennian announced that the website''s products will be reduced in price and promotion, with prices and quality reductions, and will target similar products on Letao.com.
Yu Xing was quite confused about this. What fun was Chen Nian joining in at this time?
The similar products on Letao are basically stocked up by PPG, which is a sale. The current price reduction in Vanke has not only squeezed its small profit margin, but may also damage its brand tone. It is undoubtedly a small mistake.
