In fact, all the major capitalists and companies could see that although Huanyu Mall broke 80 million in sales that day, it was basically not profitable. It might even lose money. However, in this world, it was not that no one was willing to lose money, but that a lot of people were willing to do it.
As for why people were doing it?
That was because they saw the future of the market.
Before e-commerce was too widespread, he could exceed 80 million yuan.
What about the future?
800 million, 8 billion?
This was worth looking forward to.
On the second day, Zhuoyue announced that they would increase their investment in the B2C market.
Dangdang did not fall behind. They also said that they would focus on the home appliance e-commerce market for a period of time.
Not only them, but Gome also said that they would consider creating their own e-commerce platform.
Although Suning did not say anything explicitly, they greatly praised the B2C e-commerce market.
At this time, Ma Yun was extremely conflicted on Taobao.
"20 million."
"At most 50 million in sales by the end of the year."
Looking at Taobao's sales for the past six months, Ma Yun was a little crazy.
In fact, Ma Yun was very calm before.
He felt that even if C2C's performance was not good now, as long as they persevered, there would definitely be a market in the future.
But this world was afraid of comparisons.
Before this, no one compared. Anyway, the major e-commerce platforms were like this.
Taobao was miserable, Yiqu was miserable.
Zhuoyue and Dangdang were equally miserable.
Everyone was miserable, so there was no such thing as who was miserable.
Some people sympathized with each other and hoped to persevere to the end.
But now, it did not matter if you could persevere to the end. What was important was that a new path had appeared.
How would a year's sales of 50 million compare to a day's sales of 50 million, no, 80 million?
Which was more advantageous?
Not to mention, even elementary school students could do this number.
It was just that it was not so easy to enter the real B2C market.
If it was like Zhuoyue and Dangdang, which only operated the video and book market, it would be boring.
If they wanted to do it, they had to do it big.
If they wanted to do it, they had to do it mainstream.
Everyone, big products, big brands, these were the most important things in the B2C market.
But it was easy to say.
But to really enter the market, the funds needed were several times more than the original C2C.
They had to order goods, build warehouses, logistics, and install after-sales service.
All of these required an insane amount of financial support.
Of course, they could also learn from Huanyu Technologies and cooperate with other companies.
This solved a lot of problems at once.
Alright then.
That would depend on whether the other party was willing or not.
Look at Gomei. They had already expressed their stance. Even they wanted to do it.
Why should I work with you?
As for why Huanyu Technologies was able to cooperate with Yong Le, it was because Yong Le did not have a good grasp of the market.
Yong Le was probably feeling a little regretful now.
"Zhao Xi, inform everyone to have a meeting."
Unable to make up his mind, Jack Ma called his Eighteen Arhats.
The meeting lasted for three days.
Every day there was a heated argument.
Some said that they should continue with C2C, while others said that they should immediately enter B2C.
There were also some who said that C2C still had a lot of potential, but it just needed time.
There were also people who said that they didn't know if C2C would be able to persevere, but B2C had already given them hope.
But in the end, the meeting still decided on the direction.
Ali would focus on entering the B2C market.
As for the original C2C Taobao, they did not give up and continued to operate.
Of course, there was another problem. Where would the funds come from?
Looking for venture capital.
After a few sessions of West Lake Sword Symposium, they did not manage to do well in their e-commerce.
But at least Jack Ma's face was sold.
Many venture capital investors were interested in Ali and Jack Ma.
Especially Japan's Softbank. After Jack Ma found Softbank's chairman, Sun Zhenyi, Softbank increased their investment in Ali without any hesitation.
Yes.
They had already invested in Ali before.
Softbank wanted more shares, but Ali was only willing to offer less than 10%.
Now that they finally had the chance, Softbank showed their sincerity. They added 100 million USD for 30% of Ali's shares.
When this news reached Chen Yu, Chen Yu was overjoyed.
Mr. Ma could no longer sit still.
They must have been triggered by Huanyu Mall's sales breaking 80 million USD in a day.
It was normal.
They could not even sell 50 million USD in a year, but someone else could sell 80 million USD in a day?
No matter who it was, they would also be provoked.
Not just them, even those large home appliance stores were triggered.
However, Chen Yu wanted Mr. Ma to come in.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, the domestic e-commerce market had completely become a mess.
Although the domestic e-commerce market was not very profitable, everyone had their own direction.
Those in the video industry did video games, and those in the book industry did books.
Taobao had always been firm in C2C.
But now, everyone had entered the B2C market.
They were not the only ones. Gomei, Suning, and even Dazhong wanted to enter.
It was said that Chen Xiao's old subordinates at Yongle also suggested that they should bypass Huanyu Mall and set up their own business.
Regarding this, Chen Yu saw this in his eyes, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
He did not really want to enter B2C when he set up Huanyu Mall.
At least not for now.
Even if they broke 80 million USD in sales on the opening day, Chen Yu was not interested at all.
That would be a complete loss for him.
Moreover, 80 million USD in sales was not much.
In fact, there were only tens of thousands of orders.
Because most of them were large orders, large home appliances were more expensive, and each order cost a few thousand USD.
Although 80 million USD seemed large, there were only tens of thousands of users who placed orders.
A market of tens of thousands of users was completely disproportionate to a market of hundreds of millions of users.
Chen Yu would not give up an entire forest for these tens of thousands of users.
Besides.
It was really annoying to do B2C.
Orders, warehouses, logistics, installation … and so on. He might not be able to mature this system in five years.
What he wanted to do the most now was the C2C business like Taobao.
Even if the C2C business did not have a lot of transactions now, it did not matter. He only wanted the number of transactions.
Or rather, what he wanted to do was to let more people experience e-commerce.
Even if he only bought a few yuan of things online, or even one yuan, ten cents, or one cent.
Chen Yu was willing to pull them over.
The future market was terrifying.
As long as they placed the first order, they would cultivate a market of hundreds of millions and trillions for themselves in the future.
This was why Chen Yu was so determined to enter C2C.
Fortunately, the 80 million USD in sales in a day stimulated their eyes.
Not only was it stimulated, but it also stimulated them to the point where they could not see clearly.
Since you are so interested in the B2C market, then you can go.
If you don't want the market, then I will do it.
"Huang Zheng, send people to pull all the Taobao sellers to our Huanyu Mall to open a store."
"Oh right, don't forget about Yiqu."
"Boss Chen, what if we are discovered by them?"
"Don't worry, they don't have the energy to care about the C2C business now."
Chen Yu saw it clearly.
Even if they found out, they would not take too big of a measure.
With only tens of millions of USD in sales a year, they could not even afford to eat.
Before, they would probably take some measures to deal with it. But now that there was a more advanced offline B2C, they would at most pay attention to it and would not care too much.
"Yes, I will do it immediately."
Huang Zheng immediately formed a marketing team. They only did one thing, and that was to poach sellers.
