Chapter 557: Pretending to be in front of the future billionaire
"Mr. Yu, Mr. Zhou, hello."
Compared to President Yu, whom he had met twice, Liu Xijian couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the young President Zhou for the first time.
Young, too young in fact.
He looks like he is less than 30 years old, but the other party already owns an Internet company worth tens of billions. In comparison, Liu Xijian, who is now 35 or 36, feels that the company he has worked hard for many years to create a market value of 300 million is not worth being proud of at all.
Even, a little ashamed.
Of course, Liu Xijian, who knew a little about the background of President Yu, who was also young but already controlled the billion-dollar Meimei.com, was too lazy to even compete with him.
"Mr. Liu, you're too polite."
When Zhou Anan met face to face for the first time the man who had arm wrestled with Ali in the field of online shopping, he felt that he was not as fat as he appeared in the online news in the following years. Instead, he had a similar body shape to when he was reborn in his previous life.
The most important thing is that he can see a spirit of struggle and goal in the other person.
If a man is doing well in his career, his wife may still be in elementary school, junior high school or kindergarten.
He is the pride of otakus, an inspirational role model, and a role model for entrepreneurs.
After both parties sat down, they looked at each other and then got down to business. Everyone's time was precious.
"I want to meet with Mr. Zhou this time, not only to explore the cooperation between our Jindong Mall and Mingliu Weike, but also to ask Mr. Zhou some questions."
Having already agreed to the other party's investment, Liu Xijian had no intention of going back on his word, but he had more in-depth ideas.
In today's online shopping, Ali, with a market value of over 10 billion, is already far ahead. They can only find another way this winter to catch up.
However, he and the entire company team were still somewhat confused.
After all, Ahri did too much comprehensively and had too great an advantage.
In every industry, the leading company basically occupies 60% to 70% of the resources, the second place can only get 20% to 30%, and the remaining 10 to 20 points are the bread and butter of other small peers.
Liu Xijian doesn't want to be the eternal second. His dream is to share the world with Ali.
Well, it’s a bit of an exaggeration to say that we share the world equally. We only share half of the online shopping market.
At this time, Liu Xijian wanted to give it a try and learn from this Internet upstart.
Advertising alone is not enough for this winter mall to stand out among many e-commerce companies.
To develop an unknown Internet company into a giant with a market value of tens of billions in half a year is quite a miracle in this industry. The person at the helm must have his strengths.
"Mr. Liu, if we want to highlight the advantages of Jindong Mall, I think we can start from three aspects."
Unexpectedly, JD, a big boss whose market value is close to TB in the future e-commerce industry, would come to him for advice. Zhou Anan, who had obtained the other party's shares, naturally couldn't keep it to himself, so he pointed out the development advantages of Jindong in the next few years.
In fact, there are only three aspects: self-operated brands, logistics, and the combination of online and offline.
Although he had never killed a pig, Zhou Anan had seen a pig run.
In his previous life, he often accompanied his girlfriend to buy things from TB and JD malls. Most of the large household appliances were purchased from JD, so the quality was reassuring.
In addition, overseas shopping, which is a big piece of fat, and strict control over the quality of products of non-self-operated brands are also a powerful tool to quickly break through the siege among many e-commerce companies.
Zhou Anan talked about all the future advantages she knew about, and even drank a whole cup of coffee because she was thirsty.
When Zhou Anan was halfway through her speech, Liu Xijian had already asked the waiter to bring paper and pen. He was carefully writing down the other party's suggestions, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
On the contrary, Yu Xianer, who was calm and composed, watched his younger brother showing off as if it was normal.
This situation is too common.
She knew that the company that her younger brother valued must be correct.
If she achieves the goal that I mentioned, her investment this time will definitely be a huge profit.
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Mr. Zhou, if you celebrities get involved in online business, there will be nothing for us to do."
After recording the other party's opinions, Liu Xijian couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
He discovered that it was a wise decision for him to accept investment from these two domestic Internet giants instead of overseas capital.
No, it should be the wisest decision he has made in his life.
If Mingliu Group develops to a certain scale and looks for new profit growth points in the e-commerce industry, it will definitely be an extremely powerful rival.
Now, one potential rival has been eliminated and I have also received some advice from him.
In a short period of time, Liu Xijian has found his goal and discovered the development direction of this small boat growing into a giant ship this winter.
There was no moment when he was so confident of surpassing TB.
No, he should set his sights on TB's top laner Ahri. TB alone could no longer satisfy his inflated ambitions.
"Haha, Mr. Liu, you are too kind. I can only talk about it on paper. The specific development still depends on professionals like you. I hope that in ten years, Jindong can become the first choice for online shopping for people all over the country."
"I definitely will. I won't let Mr. Zhou down."
Zhou Anan accepted the compliment without hesitation and gestured to the other party with a smile that he could eat.
The prices here are not cheap, and the food is cold, which is not worth it.
Even if you have money, you can't waste it.
"Mr. Zhou, I don't know the large logistics system you are talking about."
“I don’t know much about this, but I think logistics needs to achieve the following points to be successful.”
In the following time, facing some professional questions from Mr. Liu, Zhou Anan did not give direct answers, but answered the other party's doubts from the side.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, but Zhou Anan is standing on the shoulders of giants who predicted developments more than ten years in advance, so she can fool people in the opposite direction.
It's very simple. From the perspective of an online shopper, you can tell what kind of service you need by using some high-sounding terms and it won't be a problem to fool people.
Of course, Zhou Anan still bluntly refused to answer some very professional questions.
The quality appears invisibly.
"Mr. Zhou, our time is limited today. Next time, when you come to Beijing, I will treat you to a good meal and ask you for advice."
After chatting for more than two hours, Liu Xijian, who felt that he had met the new person too late, was filled with regret.
If I had met the other person earlier, well, it wouldn't have been any use.
Without reaching that level, it is impossible to realize the perfect online shopping system that the other party talks about.
You have to eat your meal one bite at a time.
"Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Liu's feast."
Although she was a little panicked by the other party's questions, Zhou Anan remained calm on the surface.
In my previous life, I worked in the training department for many years and didn't make much progress in other aspects, but being thick-skinned was not a problem for me at all.
After seeing off the satisfied CEO Liu, Zhou Anan turned around and asked the quiet Miss Yu: "Sister Xian'er, are you going back to the company?"
"I'm not going back. I've made an appointment with Xiao Xiao to go for nursing. Do you want to come with me?"
"No, I have something else to do and need to go back to the company."
"Okay, let's have dinner together tonight."
"Okay, I'll call you when I'm done."
Watching the fiery red Ferrari go away, Zhou Anan breathed a sigh of relief and felt fortunate that he might have avoided the human-shaped mobile clothes rack.
Thinking about the boasting he had made in front of a future billionaire, Zhou Anan suddenly felt very refreshed and prepared to go back and enjoy the finger massage from his beautiful secretary.
"Ms. Li, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's eat something. Don't be polite. I'll pay."
In a private room of a Blue Sky Coffee Shop, Liu Xijian, who was from the three-member interview team of Jiangxi Provincial Satellite TV, looked apologetic. He was stunned for a moment when he glanced at the fierce-looking female assistant and then shifted his gaze.
The interview was originally scheduled to start at 12:30, so he was more than an hour late.
There is no way. After listening to the class of that Internet genius CEO, I couldn’t help but forget the time.
"Mr. Liu, you're too polite."
After hearing the other party's polite words, Li Rong and others who had been waiting for nearly two hours no longer had any resentment.
This situation always occurs when interviewing entrepreneurs, after all, they are the least punctual type of interviewees.
Especially for entrepreneurs who are in the rising stage of their careers, it is common to wait for several hours.
"I just had a chat with the two CEOs who invested in our Jindong Mall, and I forgot the time."
As an ordinary entrepreneur, Liu Xijian felt that he still needed to explain the reason for his lateness, which was also a respect for the interview host.
"Oh, Mr. Liu, can you tell me what new measures your Winter Mall will take after receiving this investment?"
After hearing what the other party said, Li Rong found a good entry point and started the interview directly.
As a good interview host, you should let the other party speak freely about what she wants to interview.
"I won't talk about some business secrets. What I can say is that after receiving this investment of tens of millions of dollars, our mall will usher in a rapid development this winter, in terms of logistics system."
Liu Xijian would naturally not make public the valuable advice he heard from President Zhou so as to avoid being known to his competitors.
However, in line with the existing company's development strategy, he can brag about it, increase the confidence of existing mall shop owners, and enhance his status in the minds of potential buyers.
"Excuse me, what is the five-year goal that Mr. Liu mentioned?"
Listening to the other party's boasting with some substance, Li Rong felt very satisfied and asked about the goal he had mentioned earlier.
Liu Yanyan, who was standing by, was full of admiration as she watched Sister Rong's interviewing skills come to her at ease. She secretly took note of her manners and her skills in finding entry points, in preparation for the future.
"The best domestic e-commerce company is... However, I think the one with the most potential is TB Mall, which is also the biggest competitor in my mind. Our goal for the five-year period of Jindong Mall is to share the world with TB Mall."
After listening to Mr. Zhou’s course on future trends, Liu Xijian’s goal became clear.
TB Mall, which is backed by the Ali Group, is their biggest rival. Other seemingly flourishing e-commerce platforms are just junky things with no potential.
Of course, his words now contained some bragging, after all, their Winter Mall did not have a multi-billion-dollar backstage support.
The skill of bragging is a basic course for an entrepreneur to learn.
"Really? Then Mr. Liu means that the current ranking is..."
Unexpectedly, the other party spoke in such a loud tone. Li Rong, who never mind taking big risks during interviews, felt a little excited and started to brag as usual.
When interviewing news, what you need is highlights.
“That’s about it.”
August is coming to an end, and Zhou Anan's schedule is starting to become busy.
He doesn't have to take care of the specific affairs of Mingliu Group, Blue Whale Entertainment, and Qinglan, but the development of the training department has not yet reached the point where he can let go completely.
In Hangzhou, with the American professor Tao Qinglian and her friends hosting the event, there were no problems.
The two training departments in Lucheng have already become regular ones, so there is no need to worry about the source of students, and he doesn't need to worry too much.
Zhou Anan had to pay attention to the newly opened training department in Haizhou.
