Chapter 131 Opponent’s Strategy

Let me ask, who has the largest supply of goods and is most willing to consign goods?

Of course, it’s not these individual tourists, but the merchants in the market!
With a 10% price difference, if you can sell the goods through any platform, what does the 3% fee matter?
Zhongbo is obviously targeting the merchants in the market!
This can be seen from the fee structure of the trading center, which is entirely paid by the seller. In other words, it focuses on the resources consigned by the seller.

It has to be said that this move hit the bull's eye directly, hitting the needs of both buyers and sellers.

In just one hour, news about the trading center had spread throughout the market, and even the Internet was buzzing.

"No matter how good the model is, what's the point if the products can't be sold?" Lu Youxin sneered while holding a flyer in the stall.

"That's right. How many customers can he have? How many transactions does he need every month to maintain operations? It's obvious that it's just a gimmick and will close sooner or later." Yang Yuechao echoed.

"Does he think the merchants in the market are all fools? He charges 3% before the goods are even sold. Why don't they just rob them?"

I have to say that these people have sharp eyes and saw the problem right away.

If there were no actual transactions, no one would recognize Lu Feng's model.

The merchants in the market are all the kind of people who won't give up until they see the rabbit. They pay in advance and send the goods over and wait for people to buy them. Who would be so stupid?
Unless the trading center has sufficient transactions every day.

What they didn’t know was that some small merchants in the market had already started to think about it.

Would you like to try those unsold goods?
What if it’s sold?

There was a lot of discussion in the market, but the trading center was becoming increasingly busy. Even the third floor, which had not been fully decorated, was being used.

Led by Huang Doudou, dozens of "Xiamituan" members went directly to the third floor. With the help of GD's "provincial stool", everyone finally found a temporary seat.

"Thank you all for your support. There are really too many people today, and I'm sorry to have so little time to entertain you..." Huang Doudou resumed his old self demeanor. Today, he deliberately combed his hair like an adult, and he actually had a bit of the aura of a Shanxi coal boss.

It doesn't matter if it's luxurious or not, it's true that it's rustic. But the impression left by these dozens of comrades is too high.

"Mr. Dou, your model sounds plausible, but the problem is that it is difficult to actually complete the transaction. It is fine to just settle the transaction directly in the market. Why go through this process and pay more fees?"

After listening to Huang Doudou’s introduction, Wang Zilin raised his own questions.

Huang Doudou has discussed this issue with Lu Feng several times. Before large-scale transactions occur, this is the biggest flaw.

Huang Doudou slowed down, took a deep breath and said, "So, in the early stage, we can only rely on the customers we have accumulated before to maintain it. The most important thing is to establish a safe and transparent trading platform to reduce the cost of individual customers entering the market."

"This is indeed a good thing for individual customers. But doing so is equivalent to blocking the road to the retail end. If your model can really be promoted, the terminal will probably die out." Wang Zilin is young, but he always hits the nail on the head.

"That's the purpose. Today I would like to take this opportunity to inform all of you brothers and sisters, and hope to get your support. At the same time, in order to protect everyone's interests, we have made two preparations. One is that the members of the Xiami group will collect relevant fees after the consignment items are sold. If there is no transaction, no fees will be charged. The other is that we will launch a simple buying and selling quotation system to facilitate everyone to adjust prices at any time according to market conditions." Huang Doudou promised.

This is a solution that Lu Feng has thought about for a long time and proposed to deal with the current difficulties.

The post-payment model can indeed reduce the cost of consignors.

However, this approach is equivalent to putting pressure on the trading center. If there is no large number of transactions, the trading center will definitely continue to lose money.

The rent for this venue alone is over 100,000 yuan a month, not to mention employee expenses and other costs.

27th floor, Bank of America Center.

At noon...

In the conference room, Ling Dong had just finished today's market situation report, especially the specific situation of the trading center.

After the 8050 incident, all conflicts have been laid out on the table, and the situation is definitely a fight to the death.

The 8050 quadruple set was painstakingly managed by the team for nearly a year, from the beginning of its release to the present, using various public opinions and market trends to proactively cut costs, even at the expense of some end customers. However, when the harvest was about to come, someone stabbed them in the back.

According to incomplete statistics, the knife was worth about 100 million yuan. Although not all of it was taken by Lu Feng, the bill was definitely charged to him.

"According to market feedback, it won't be a big deal for now."

“The group of customers left by Jiu Zang cannot support the operation of the trading center. Without the recognition of market merchants, we can’t go far!”

This is Ling Dong’s final summary of today’s report.

Kong Xiangyu crossed his legs, folded his arms across his chest, and said with a smile: "Now it seems that this guy named Lu Feng is nothing special."

If the sixteen exhibition halls were not closed and there was terminal consumption, perhaps the merchants in the market would still be interested in its purchasing capabilities.

But now, it is equivalent to cutting off one of your legs before learning to walk.

"Will he do something weird again?" Liu Nan had a psychological trauma that made him afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once.

It's not that he was cautious, but he was the most seriously injured this time, and even his relationship with Jibi was severed. People blamed him for the decline of Jibi during this period.

"What can he achieve? The only exhibition hall we can rely on is gone." Kong Xiangyu looked confident of victory.

Among those who had fought against Lv Feng, she was the only one who had the upper hand temporarily. At least, she had achieved her goal. She had cut off one of Lv Feng's legs.

Everyone expressed their opinions, and the final conclusion was highly consistent with the ending of Ling Dong's report.

Finally, they turned their attention to the man on the wheel.

He remained silent until everyone finished talking, then he slowly spoke.

"He's a talented person. What a pity!"

Everyone didn't understand what it meant and could only wait.

“You only see the difficulties. Isn’t anyone thinking about what if it succeeds?” The man looked at the team he had put together.

These people may be very strong in their respective fields, but when they leave their specialized fields, they all lack overall thinking and vision.

The five of them fell silent.

Ling Dong is the one closest to the market, and his expression changed drastically within a few breaths.

Yes, what if it succeeds? If this model succeeds, how high will the ceiling be?
In fact, it is not. It is equivalent to treating all merchants in the country as a large warehouse. It is no longer limited to any one product, any one city, or time.

Once successful, all retail businesses will be killed, and all merchants will gradually lose interest in directly connecting with retail investors? This is equivalent to compressing the market and squeezing out all the moisture. And this moisture is the income of the trading center.

This is an astronomical figure! It is many times higher than the profit of operating a boutique in the traditional way.

What’s even more terrifying is its sustainability!
But, is this possible?
In Ling Dong's opinion, of course it is impossible. Unless there is a sufficiently professional appraisal team, strong enough channels, market appeal and millions or tens of millions of terminal collectors, it is absolutely impossible to do it.

And these three are indispensable.

"They don't even have a decent appraisal team, let alone channels and market appeal. There's no way they can succeed!"

Ling Dong still insists on his judgment.

The four people next to him listened to his analysis and nodded as well.

Why has Lu Feng still limited his operations to conjoined commemorative banknotes?

Because they are emerging sectors, there are almost no fakes, and there is no circulation history involved, so there is no need for a strong authentication team.

But other sections are different. Not to mention the overwhelming counterfeits of fine stamps, just the old coins, first, second and third editions, without a pair of eyes like a money detector, will be a quagmire if you step into them casually.

"Adong!" the man suddenly spoke again.

"exist!"

"Follow their model, and build an identical one inside the market." The man suddenly smiled.

After being injured by someone who used his opponent's force to his advantage, the man now just wants to get back at them in the same way.

And this is undoubtedly the best way.

No need to think, just adjust in time according to your opponent's strategy. Even if you can't kill him, you can at least disgust him to death!
All five of them were shocked by this decision.

Ling Dong was even more surprised and asked: "Boss, do you think he has a chance of success?"

For this model to work, even with their current energy, there are still many gaps in conditions.

It can be said that it is a thankless task and is even destined to lose money.

He really couldn't figure out the meaning of this move.

Faced with the surprise of the five people, the man did not explain much, but simply gave a reason that none of them could refute.

"I just want to ensure that if there is a possibility of success one day, the successful party can only be us."

The five of them stood in awe again.

If there is really a possibility of success, judging from their current strength, they are more likely to succeed.

What's the easiest way to defeat your opponent?
Just use the same moves as a strong man and simply crush them.

"Adong, set up the identification team first. This is the snake's Achilles' heel, and we can't let them take the lead." The man continued to give orders.

As the older generation gradually withdraws from the stage, there are not many people skilled in identification in the market, and most of them have been poached by professional institutions.

It can be said that this is an extremely scarce resource and is also the most important foundation to ensure that this skyscraper can be built.

Lu Feng and his team don’t have this ability, but they have innate advantages!
"Ayu, find a way to connect with the terminal market and let the merchants in the market see our sincerity."

Instructions were issued one after another, each one was like a sharp sword pointing directly at the heart of the new trading model!
