Chapter 445

After getting the design drawings, Li Mu asks Lin Qingya to arrange someone to help him find some manufacturers that can produce MP3. It's better to be a relatively large OEM enterprise. If it's in China, it's better.

Lin Qingya immediately arranged three business contacts to take charge of this matter, looking for a suitable OEM for MP3 production.

Li Mu attached great importance to this matter. In addition, he asked Lin Qingya to send people to Taiwan, Japan and South Korea to investigate and understand the OEM resources of MP3 industry. He was not very relieved about the electronic industry in mainland China in 2002. These days, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are the most powerful ones in the electronic industry. It is also very intentional to send people to investigate the industry After all, Li Mu knows that he can't only make this hardware.

Li Mu's goal is to customize and sell 500000 MP3 players at the end of this year, but the first batch will first customize 100000 to 200000. After Taobao goes online, try to push a wave.

Li Mu is now an electric business, and is much more mature than Ali did when he was doing that. Not only because he had turned Alipay into a payment channel for millions of users, but also because he had gathered a large number of users through post bar, happy farm and YY, which is rising rapidly. YY

For Li Mu, he has taken both the early rising Tengxun and the early rising Ali into his hands. These two big Internet companies with assets of more than 200 billion US dollars each have been in love for many years and have no choice but to kill each other. Tengxun has huge viscosity users but no e-commerce gene. He has not been able to make any action in the field of e-commerce by spending money and resources. In the end, he can only Alibaba is full of e-commerce genes and wants to make use of its huge online shopping user base to socialize. However, it is also born with a lack of genes in social aspects. It is the same with money and resources. Finally, it fails to socialize.

Now, we have a firm foothold in the field of social communication. The number of registered users of YY keeps rising, approaching the 80 million mark. In terms of the number of registered users, we have only a little distance from QQ, and will soon catch up with each other. In terms of user viscosity, YY has far surpassed QQ by virtue of its powerful product functions, as well as the cooperation of post bar, space and happy farm, and left it behind Behind the head.

Now QQ has begun to decline. Although they have cancelled all commercial advertisements, it is still incomparable with YY, because YY itself has no advertisement, and the product UI design is stronger than QQ for an era. Everyone makes pure and advertising free chat software, and YY's experience still exceeds QQ by dozens of streets.

As for QQ's member price reduction activities, the results of so many days show that this method has not achieved much effect in fact. For those users who have completely abandoned QQ and transferred to YY, they have got everything they want on YY, and their contacts have also migrated completely, and even integrated with the contacts of tieba and Kaixin farm, even if QQ member services Free delivery, they will not go back to use at all. The reason is very simple. Users rely on social software with strong exclusiveness. After focusing on one of them, they will not use other similar products.

The only thing that worries Li Mu a little is whether Tengxun will have a magic touch in the next product development. If so, Tengxun will be able to pull back a city temporarily; if not, YY will soon eat up its market share.

In Li Mu's opinion, it's a matter of certainty for YY to crush QQ and even drive QQ away from the historical stage. Now, what I have to consider is not how to compete with QQ, but how to effectively transfer the huge users of YY product group to Taobao in the future. So there are two most important things. One is MP3 player One is to urge Taobao to go online as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Fang Xudong came back in time.

By the time Fang Xudong returned, Liu had already rented an office building in Zhongguancun and started to set up a basic operation team. The front and back platform program development of taobao.com, in the R & D center of Muye science and technology, was advancing in an orderly manner, and Fang Xudong was not disappointed. The core framework he wrote for taobao.com had been completed by more than half.

Fang Dongxu came back at this time, and directly gave Li Mu a signal: the e-commerce section can be fully launched!

Therefore, Li Mu invited Fang Xudong and his senior brother Liu to come out for dinner and introduce him to Fang Xudong as soon as he came back.

Liu Qidong and Fang Xudong, both of them are top-notch figures in their fields of expertise in the last life, so although they met for the first time, they were very recognized before each other, which can be said to be the same at first sight.

The three chatted for a while. After Liu Qidong and Fang Xudong got familiar with each other, Li Mu said all his plans for the next stage of Taobao on the dinner table.

All the future of Taobao is based on the three people at the table, including Li Mu himself. He is responsible for all the directions, framework and resource integration of Taobao. As the general manager, Liu Qidong is directly responsible for the operation of the whole Taobao except for the technical department. Fang Xudong is the CTO of Taobao. He leads the technical team and is responsible for all the technologies Work on.Liu Qidong and Fang Xudong, two "Dongge" in their posts, are parallel to each other and cannot interfere with each other. They can cooperate with each other when they have daily needs. If there is any difference, it is up to Li Mu to make a decision. The conclusion of Li Mu's decision must be obeyed unconditionally without any opinions.

They had no opinions on Li Mu's requirements. Liu Qidong was ready to work together under Li Mu's leadership when he decided to work with Li Mu. Fang Xudong did a good job at Google and decided to return to China to join the team because of the attraction of the development space provided by Li Mu. The natural orientation was to do well in Li Mu's subordinates.

Before Fang Xudong returned to China, he wrote the core framework of Taobao while waiting for his resignation at Google. Just in that time, he caught up with YY online. Fang Xudong downloaded YY for in-depth experience for the first time. After in-depth experience, he was not only more grateful for his decision to join Muye technology, but also more admired Li Mu.

As early as when the two met for the first time, Fang Dongxu told Li Mu about his views on Muye technology. At that time, he didn't know that Muye technology was secretly developing YY, a big killing tool. He also told Li Mu that at that time, Muye technology was like a very sharp bayonet, powerful enough in the field of cold weapons, but it should be matched with a gun, but how could he Unexpectedly, Li Mu realized this problem as early as that time. He directly bypassed the gun and developed a cannon, which is YY.

At the dinner table, Liu asked Fang Xudong how he knew Li Mu and how he was persuaded by Li Mu to join him. Fang Xudong sighed: "to be honest, I always pay for myself, but before meeting Li Anyi, I never met such a person. He knows what I know, and he knows what I don't; he thinks of what I don't think, and he knows what I don't think I also thought about it, even what I couldn't think of at all, and he thought about it. At that time, I thought that I could only join in, and I had no choice, otherwise I would regret for my whole life. "

Liu Qidong also sighed: "to tell you the truth, before I knew him, I was a small-scale vendor in Zhongguancun. To tell you the truth, I earned tens of millions a year, and I was very satisfied. I even thought I was an outstanding alumni coming out of the people's Congress, so I occasionally sponsored my younger brothers and sisters to do after-school activities in school, but I didn't care until I heard about him I realize that I am not outstanding. I can't even touch the edge of excellence when I have such a benchmark here. "

Li Mu touched his nose and asked with a smile, "is it really good that you two flatter me so openly?"

Liu Qidong waved his hand and said seriously, "I'm not flattering you. Xiaojing is not here today. If she wants to be here, she will tell you what kind of state I was when I first knew you were the founder of Muye technology."

Fang Xudong said with a smile, "I have the same feeling with you. When I finished talking with Mr. Li, I felt very delicate once. I think we should have the same feeling."

Li Mu couldn't help smiling and said: "well, I believe you for a moment. Let's talk about the project. The goal of Taobao is to go online at the end of may or the beginning of June. All the rest of our technical progress should be made according to this time node. However, whether it goes online at the end of may or the beginning of June depends on when the first mp3 can be produced. ”

Liu Kaidong said: "I have started to prepare members of the operation team now. They are trying to find ways to establish contact with eBay's sellers every day. After our platform goes online, they can directly deliver information to these sellers accurately, and try their best to attract them to our Taobao network."

Li Mu nodded. Elder martial brother Liu is really able to cut down the links and processes in detail, which is really unusual.

Speaking of eBay, Li Mu can't remember when he was acquired by eBay, so he asked Liu Qidong, "elder martial brother Liu, what is eBay now?"

"I just got $30 million from eBay in March, and now I'm doing a large-scale promotion," Liu said

Li Muruo nodded thoughtfully. There should be a certain amount of water in thirty million dollars. I'm afraid there isn't so much money in eBay's hands. What's more, he doesn't worry about eBay becoming a competitor at all. In fact, the current mode of eBay is just incubating C2C industry in China. They started to cultivate C2C as early as the end of last century. They let sellers and buyers Home contacts and knows what e-commerce and online trading are. They cultivate the earliest soil for the industry. Then they are trapped in a cocoon and always want to make profits directly from the seller, so that the seller has been complaining for a long time. Later, boss Ma came up with taobao.com and directly threw out the slogan of free for life, which robbed eBay and eBay of all their hard work.

For such a company, Li mufei will not regard it as a potential rival, but rather love it too late. The owner of Ma stole the fruit in his last life, and it's time to change into himself in this life! (to be continued. )
