On Wednesday, Li Mu and Liu Qidong arrived at Taobao. Com at 8 o'clock in the morning. Other employees arrived earlier than them. By 8 o'clock, they had all arrived.
The reason why all members arrive early is that at 9 o'clock this morning, the head of the economic and Trade Commission will come to Taobao to inspect the work. This is the first leader inspection after Taobao has been pushed down the air of public opinion, or even the first leader inspection since Taobao was founded, so the meaning is very important.
For private enterprises, leader inspection is a good thing. The inspection shows that the government's recognition of the company shows an attitude of appreciation and support.
Among the leaders who came to inspect today, five came from Huaxia economic and Trade Commission, and even two from Huaxia state post office. It should also be a special care of senior leaders to call the leaders of postal system together to inspect the work. Li Mu's current e-commerce development is severely shackled by logistics and transportation, so it will take time to prepare and build his own logistics. In the future, it will take a while Naturally, it is necessary to cooperate with the state post to arrange the leaders of the State Post, so that Li Mu can directly ask for help or raise demand.
The whole inspection work was open. CCTV sent an interview team to track the interview. When Li Mu arrived at the company, a team of CCTV reporters, related work and security personnel had arrived. Then there was a Special Coordinator to communicate with Li Mu and convey the whole process, including when the leader came, what, which departments to inspect and how to determine the interview process of CCTV, Even how to hold the closed door Symposium later.
The previous processes are relatively formalized. Basically, it's just a passing step. The key is to have a closed door Symposium. Whether there is a media presence in the symposium or not, and even the general leaders are not arranged to be present. Li Mu, including him, has two participants. The leaders are also two, one is the head of the economic and Trade Commission, and the other is the leader in charge of express business of the post office.
Hearing this arrangement, Li Mu immediately attached great importance to it.
Originally, I thought this closed door symposium was facing the whole inspection team, but what I didn't expect was that the leaders themselves made a great reduction to the inspection team participating in the symposium, leaving a real head in charge of each of the economic and trade outlets and the post outlets, which is definitely a battle to make themselves fully demand! If you don't look good, you will respond to your own needs. If that is the case, everything will turn around.
At nine o'clock sharp, the leaders accompanied by the staff of their respective departments went to Muye technology.
Li Mu and Liu Qidong are standing in order, waiting at the gate of Muye technology.
When the leaders appeared, the two staff members who were leading in the front immediately flashed to both sides, and Li Mu immediately recognized that the man in front was the head of Huaxia economic and Trade Commission, Zhen Zhiwen and Zhen minister.
Minister Zhen's face was full of smiles. Li Mu and Liu Qidong rushed to shake hands with him. In front of the camera, Minister Zhen said something encouraging. At the same time, he said that he came to Taobao for inspection. In fact, he came to understand the advanced Internet e-commerce mode with the purpose of learning. Other officials around also smiled and agreed. The atmosphere was very harmonious at the beginning.
Another very important person is a deputy director surnamed Niu of Huaxia state post office, which is in charge of all the express logistics industry nationwide, and this Director Niu is the person in charge of the direct management of the state-owned postal business of Huaxia.
Li Mu and Liu Qidong, together with Minister Zhen and his party, visited various departments of the company. When they went to each department, Liu Qidong would introduce the function of this department in Taobao to the leaders of the company.
Occasionally, Minister Zhen and his party will also interview individual employees, or ask about their salary and benefits, or about their work intensity, and the employees will answer well.
The reporter also seized the opportunity to interview minister Zhen with some questions about Taobao, such as how the economic and Trade Commission views Taobao as a new thing. Minister Zhen's answer was very pertinent, saying: "first of all, we must admit that the e-commerce model of Taobao is very new to us, and we never expected it before Taobao appeared With such rapid development, for the economic and Trade Commission, on the one hand, we affirm the huge development space of e-commerce, on the other hand, we very much hope to have a deeper understanding of this industry. If e-commerce is a necessary trend for future development, then we need to formulate strong policies to promote the rapid development of e-commerce. "
The reporter asked again, "what are your expectations for the future development of Taobao?"
Minister Zhen said: "I hope Taobao can continue to develop and enhance its sense of social responsibility. Economy is the driving force for the country to move forward. How to promote social and economic development quickly and effectively while developing itself and make necessary contributions to social and economic development is my expectation for the future development of Taobao."
Li Mu hurriedly answered, "please rest assured, Minister Zhen, Taobao will put the sense of social responsibility at the core of our corporate culture and contribute to the development of the whole social economy!"
Minister Zhen smiled and said to the reporter, "you have just made an exclusive interview with President Li. I think President Li's sense of social responsibility, whether it is me or you, is obvious to all."
The reporter said with a smile, "then I'll take this opportunity to interview Mr. Li."Li Mu nodded and said generously, "OK."
The reporter then asked him, "President Li, what is the development direction of Taobao in the future?"
Li Mu said with a smile, "our next development direction is to improve the choice of online shopping, reduce the threshold of online shopping, so that more people can use Taobao online more easily and conveniently. In the near future, Taobao's products will be all inclusive and meet the vast majority of consumer demand."
Originally, Li Mu wanted to arrange leaders to have lunch out at noon, but the accompanying staff refused the arrangement when they met the public relations demand of Taobao yesterday. Instead, they asked Taobao to order a batch of boxed meals outside. At noon, the leaders had a working meal together on Taobao. Because the working meal was also part of the interview, Taobao ordered the boxes in advance according to the requirements At noon, dozens of boxed meals were delivered. Li Mu arranged reporters and leaders to eat in the large conference room. Other accompanying staff were scattered in each small conference room.
Li Mu and Liu Qidong also accompanied the leaders to have lunch in a box in the conference room. The reporter's interview was basically over. When the camera was removed, Minister Zhen said to Li Mu, "let's arrange the closed door Symposium later in your or general manager Liu's office. Irrelevant personnel should be isolated as much as possible. It's time to talk about practical matters."
Li Mu's face was awe inspiring. He nodded quickly and said in a low voice, "then please come to my office to talk later."
After dinner, Minister Zhen said to the others, "I will open a closed door symposium with Mr. Li and Mr. Liu together with Director Niu. Now let's have a rest. After the meeting, we will go back."
Others responded immediately, then Minister Zhen said to Li Mu with a smile, "let's not waste time, let's start now."
Li Mu nodded and made a gesture of invitation. He accompanied them to his office together with elder martial brother Liu.
On the reception sofa, four people are facing each other. Li Mu and Liu Qidong are sitting together. Minister Zhen and Director Niu are sitting together. After sitting down, senior brother Liu quickly takes out his tea set and tea leaves to make tea. Minister Zhen doesn't refuse, but goes straight to the point and says, "Xiao Li, I'm here today. One of the main reasons is that the boss entrusts me to have an interview with you."
Li Mu quickly sat up straight and nodded. He had heard about the "boss" from Chen Ze and knew who the "boss" in his mouth meant.
Minister Zhen paused and said: "the boss gave me two tasks today. One is to understand your current needs. The other is to ask you some questions on his behalf."
With that, Minister Zhen looked at Li Mu with great interest and asked him with a smile, "which part do you think we should start from first?"
Li Mu hurriedly said humbly, "minister Zhen, start with the question first."
Li Mu guessed that the boss and other leaders may have some doubts and uncertainties about the emerging e-commerce. Before asking for help from the leaders, he should first know what the leaders are doubting and worrying about. If he is confident in solving the problems they are worried about, he can safely and boldly ask for the needs, otherwise in case the needs are raised, It's really embarrassing that the leaders' doubts can't be solved by themselves.
As soon as minister Zhen listened to Li Mu's choice, he began with the question, nodded approvingly, and smiled, "well, I'll ask you some questions first."
After that, Mr. Zhen cleared his voice and said: "first of all, what is the future development space of domestic e-commerce? Not just Taobao, but the whole e-commerce market. "
"If the development goes well, the market size in the next five years will be about trillion yuan," Li Mu said
Said Li Mu, adding: "of course, the vast majority of these are the data that enterprises stack up by putting some daily transactions on more convenient lines. If we count 2C's retail business alone, I think it can reach 100 billion scale in five years under sufficient conditions."
"You mean to reach 100 billion retail sales per year in five years?" Mr. Zhen said with some surprise
Li Mu nodded and calmly said two words: "at least."
Minister Zhen also looked serious and asked, "what's the most optimistic estimate?"
"Hundreds of billions."
Minister Zhen said: "the annual sales of a Wangfujing Department Store Group which has developed for many years is only about 700 million or 8 billion. What is your confidence and basis of 100 billion? You can't do brand day every day, can you? Consumers will also experience aesthetic fatigue. "
Li Mu smiled and said, "I don't know the situation of other enterprises. It's not easy to estimate, but for Taobao alone, I'm sure to achieve an annual turnover of over 100 billion in five years!"
