Rebirth starts from e-commerce

Chapter 307 Choose to Stand with the Egg

In the early stage, in order to occupy the market and squeeze competitors, e-commerce platforms are willing to sell more benefits to merchants.

Two dogs fight, play off.

So we can see that the platform loses billions of dollars every year, and only merchants are making money.

Just like when the live broadcast platform competition is the most intense, the value of the anchors has risen, and each of them has signed a sky-high contract.

It is the same now. In order to win the support of the Pinru faction, Jingdong would rather give up part of its own interests and give them more support.

Luo Xiu took Guan Shiyu out of the Jingdong office building, and met a group of fellow merchants downstairs.

"Mr. Luo, what do you think of the meeting just now?"

Everyone looked at Luo Xiu expectantly.

They all want to know how the e-commerce leader chooses.

"What do you think? Isn't the meeting for listening?" Luo Xiu joked, "I admit that Miss Concierge is pretty."

"Mr. Luo, we want to hear your opinion on choosing one of the two platforms."

"Everyone is very dissatisfied with this matter, just wait for a leader to come out and speak out."

"That's right, all of us are willing to follow Mr. Luo."

……

On the surface, they were expressing their respect to Luo Xiu, but they actually wanted to show him off.

On the one hand, Luo Xiu represents hundreds of brands of the Pinru faction, and has sufficient strength; on the other hand, he is young and impulsive, and will jump out after a few words from the fire.

When the platform really starts to liquidate, it also starts with the leader.

At that time, these people who are fighting the fire will "rebel" immediately and seize the market that Pinru let out.

Luo Xiu took a look at everyone and said seriously: "Between the tall and solid wall and the egg, I will always stand by the egg."

This sentence was said by Haruki Murakami. He said, 'This wall is too high and too hard. When we don't know the truth, if we don't stand by the egg, the egg will be smashed immediately. '

"Mr. Luo, do you mean to support Jingdong? At present, Jingdong is obviously the weaker side."

"It's obviously wrong that I'm weak and I'm justified, but what I really want to say is that everyone is living a good life now because the two have not yet decided the winner. When they decide the winner, they will turn around and start thinking There is a way to dig money out of the pockets of merchants.”

Luo Xiu left these words and left with Guan Shiyu.

The rest of the people talked loudly as if they had suddenly realized:
"Mr. Luo is right, let's all follow Mr. Luo and stand in Jingdong!"

"That's right, although my family mainly sells goods on Taobao, we can't let Taobao dominate."

"Weakness does not represent justice, but eggs and stones, we have no choice but to protect the eggs, otherwise the stones will turn their heads on us after dealing with the eggs."

……

They say so, but many people think in their hearts, you all go to JD.com, I stand on Taobao, and Taobao's resources are mine.

Even though everyone knows that it is in the interests of all merchants to stand on the side of JD.com and avoid Taobao’s dominance.But how can collective interests be more important than individual interests?
Since it is impossible to guarantee that everyone is selfless, of course we must first ensure our immediate interests

Therefore, everyone talks about standing on Jingdong, but in actual actions, these bosses will still give priority to immediate interests.

Moreover, for many merchants, they actually have no choice.There is only such a little chip in hand, and giving up the immediate benefits means being eliminated directly.

……

On the way back, Guan Shiyu looked at Luo Xiu, "You are getting better at lying."

"When did I lie?"

"You said just now that there are tall and hard walls and eggs, you want to stand on the side of the eggs, didn't you mislead them and say that you want to stand on Jingdong?"

"I did mean to stand on the egg's side, but I didn't say that JD.com is an egg. Compared with JD.com and Taobao, our Pinru is an egg. I stand by myself in this wave." Luo Xiu spread his hands, "As for How they understand it is beyond my control."

"Will anyone believe what you just said?"

"It's one thing to be able to deceive one."

"And you said you didn't lie?"

Guan Shiyu smiled happily with an expression of finally catching you.

"This can't be called a lie, because what I'm telling is the truth."

"Have you evolved to deceive people with the truth?"

……

Luo Xiu and Guan Shiyu spent three days in the imperial capital. Apart from talking about JD.com's cooperation, they visited local physical shopping malls and Xiaomi's new office.

As an investor in Xiaomi, you have to care about the progress of the project.

History has not gone wrong. Luoxiu watched the demo of MIUI and saw the initial version of Michat, the chat software destined to be replaced by WeChat.

It is expected that Xiaomi's first hand warmer will be released in August this year... no, the first mobile phone M8.

That being the case, Luo Xiu can rest assured to invest more.

Of course, this time, it is no longer an exclusive investment by itself, but a joint investment of multiple capitals including Xiaoyu, Morningside, and Qiming.

After finishing the work in the imperial capital, Luo Xiu directly bought a plane ticket to Xihang.

"Aren't we going to play here for two more days?"

Guan Shiyu sat on the plane, looking at the gray scenery outside the window.

"Farewell, stay too long at Brother Dong's site, I'm afraid the old horse will misunderstand." Luo Xiu held his chin in distress, "How should I explain to the old horse, Brother Dong and I are innocent."

"Disgusting." Guan Shiyu gave him a blank look.

……

As everyone predicted.

Taobao also hinted at one thing at the mid-year business meeting, that all products participating in the 618 event must be cheaper than other platforms.

For merchants who violate the rules of the event, the platform will directly and compulsorily make up the price difference.

Merchants know that the choice between the two is inevitable.

In fact, it’s okay not to choose, but if you want to participate in activities and get more traffic on the platform, you have to follow their rules.

At the end of the meeting, Luo Xiu was also interviewed alone.

"Mr. Luo, you should have participated in JD.com's goods conference. I wonder if you can tell us about their style of play this year?"

Luo Xiu didn't expect them to be so direct, so he had no choice but to say directly: "I think you should know better than me what they plan to do this year."

"Well, we did hear something vaguely, but we didn't know much."

"They have given a lot of support to merchants this time, and they have given them a lot of support. Of course, the foundation of our Pinru has always been Taobao. No matter how good the conditions they give, our main focus will still be on Taobao."

Luo Xiu began to throw the bait.

"Serving merchants well is the purpose of our platform. What we have been doing is how to help merchants grow. What we are most proud of these years is seeing a large number of Taobao brands like Pinru grow up."

The other party gave Luo Xiu a meaningful look, and continued: "Whenever other platforms can provide merchants with resources, we will only give more."
