Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 2143 Advanced Commercial Project
"I have a very big plan, and this plan not only involves Shanghai, but also covers the whole country." Duan Yun glanced at Zhou Yupeng, and then said: "In this plan, SH City is a very important node. The southern and northern cities of China are also a window to the outside world, so I came to Shanghai this time to implement this plan."

"Then what exactly is this plan for?" Zhou Yupeng suddenly became interested and asked Duan Yun.

"Director Zhou, have you heard of the term e-commerce?" Duan Yun asked with a smile.

"E-commerce? A businessman who sells electricity? Isn't this the power bureau? Don't you want to work in the power supply industry?" Zhou Yupeng asked a little puzzled.

It’s no wonder that Zhou Yupeng is ignorant, because in this era, e-commerce is a new term. Because China has not yet popularized the Internet, there is no so-called e-commerce. It is normal for Zhou Yupeng not to know this term.

"In fact, the so-called e-commerce is e-commerce, which refers to electronic transactions on the Internet, intranets and value-added networks. The related service activities of transaction activities make all aspects of traditional commercial activities electronic and grid-based." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "To put it simply and bluntly, it is to sell products through technical means such as the Internet, extranet, and mobile phones, and even deliver them to your door."

"Selling things through the Internet and the phone?" Zhou Yupeng was taken aback when he heard this, and then asked, "How is this possible? Can you tell me in detail what's going on?"

Zhou Yupeng has now heard that Duan Yun's plan is a bit unusual. If someone else told him about this business plan, then Zhou Yupeng would definitely dismiss it, thinking that it was completely fantasy, but if this Speaking from Duan Yun's mouth, it is different, because Duan Yun is currently the richest man in China, the largest private enterprise owner in the country, and a recognized business genius. He almost never misses any project or business he does. The situation, so if he says it can be done, then the project is likely to be feasible.

But with his knowledge and thinking, it is still difficult to imagine how the so-called e-commerce will be realized, because the current Internet has indeed appeared in China, including their ordinary new districts, and some departments have already connected to it. The Internet, but that thing can only look at the webpage at present, as for how to realize selling things online, it is simply unimaginable.

In fact, it is normal for Zhou Yupeng to wonder about this matter, because until the end of the 1997s, there was only a rudimentary form of the commercial industry in China. In 1999, the first two e-commerce companies appeared in China. In 2, 8848, the first domestic c[-]c e-commerce company, was formally established. In August of the same year, eBay.com was established, followed by Dangdang.com and China Merchants Bank's cartoon online banking service, becoming the first domestic network to realize nationwide networking Internet Banking for Commercial Banking.

But at that time, China's e-commerce was still in its infancy, the real Internet application market had not yet taken shape, the e-commerce environment was far from mature, and online retailing had just begun.

And to be honest, China's e-commerce was still in the exploratory stage at that time, and it was still very immature in terms of how to realize online payment, item delivery, and product after-sales, which made it impossible for the Internet e-commerce network to be popularized on a large scale.

After 2000, the Internet bubble burst in the international scope, which led to a huge impact on my country's e-commerce. 8848 gradually declined, eBay was acquired by eBay, and a large number of emerging e-commerce websites were closed. However, due to the coexistence of challenges, in 2003 In [-], Taobao and Jingdong, the two most important companies in the history of China's e-commerce development, were established one after another, which made China's e-commerce industry enter the initial stage of competition.

Therefore, when the matter of e-commerce was brought forward in 1995, almost no one could understand it. This commercial project is too avant-garde and completely beyond the current understanding of Chinese people.

However, if Duan Yun wants to implement this project in Shanghai, he must explain clearly to the local government leaders that only by letting them know the feasibility of this project and the future rate of return can they provide themselves with more benefits. More resources and policy preference.

"Now there are more and more Internet users in our country. Since the past two months, several major cities in China have begun to accept the installation and use of civilian Internet. I believe that by the end of this year, our domestic Internet users will be It is very possible to break through 5 households.” Duan Yun pondered for a moment, and then said: “As far as the current usage of the Internet is concerned, people mainly use it to view web pages or send emails. Establishing an e-commerce website can display various products through the webpage, including the style pictures of the products, product performance parameters, and selling prices, etc. After the user finds the product he likes, he can place an order directly from the Internet, and then through The logistics system we have established will deliver it to his home, and the payment for the goods can be made by wire transfer or cash on delivery, which will be considered as a complete electronic transaction.”

"Uh." Hearing what Duan Yun said, Zhou Yupeng seemed to understand a little bit, and asked after thinking for a while: "This method of doing business sounds feasible, but the problem is that there are not many Internet users in China right now. ? In addition, the goods have to be delivered to the door? What about the transportation fee?"

"Although there are few Internet users in our country, the families who can afford the Internet are definitely rich people, so these people's spending power is definitely not low. Can you admit this?" Duan Yun said.

"That's for sure. I heard that the online fee is at least a few hundred yuan a month. This is really not something ordinary people can afford." Zhou Yupeng nodded and said.

In fact, in 1995, the domestic network had just developed. At that time, the main form of Internet access was dial-up Internet access through telephone lines, and the network speed was only a few tens of K.

There are two modes of Internet access fee, charging according to the online time or according to the flow rate. If you pay a monthly subscription, the monthly Internet fee is about 200~300 yuan, which is almost equivalent to a month’s salary of an ordinary worker. Of course, if you charge according to the flow rate , if the control point is used, it will cost tens of dollars a month, which is not a small expenditure for ordinary families.

But the problem is that at that time, if you want to surf the Internet, you must have a phone. The installation cost of a phone is more than 2000 yuan. In addition, the cost of the computer is also about 3000 yuan, so families who really have the conditions to access the Internet can be called rich.
