Boss Chen, why do you have to make a choice between the two? "
"Is there?"
"Is there not?"
"Boss Ma, we've never made such a request. It's up to the users to choose which platform."
They were all bragging before this.
After Ma Yun finished bragging, it was Chen Yu's turn.
Of course, both of them knew that nothing could be done if they continued to brag.
So, at this time, they would not beat around the bush and go straight to the point.
"Boss Chen, there's no need to hide this kind of thing. Although you didn't make it mandatory, you used the recommendation bonus to force users to make a choice.
"Boss Ma, first of all, you have to understand one thing. The recommendation is the platform's resource and the platform's resources. The platform's resources are not given for free. Besides, we've invested so many resources. It's impossible for us to let others take advantage of us. "
Of course, he was talking about Ma Yun's recruitment.
However, Chen Yu did not say it out loud.
He was too lazy to say it.
Whatever tricks Ali had, Chen Yu naturally had his own ways to deal with them.
"I admit that Ali did not do a good job of recruiting people, but Boss Chen is going overboard."
"In that case, Boss Ma, what do you think Huanyu Technologies should do?"
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows. "If you were me, Boss Ma would just watch the other party poach your customers and you wouldn't do anything?"
"This …"
Although Ma Yun was eloquent, he was also speechless by Chen Yu's rhetorical question.
In fact, this was normal.
If it were Ma Yun, he would do the same.
Moreover, he would not necessarily use resources to exchange.
He would just give an order and see if they dared to go to another platform.
If they dared to go, they would not open a shop on our platform in the future.
That was how domineering they were. What could they do?
However, even so, Ma Yun had to fight for a way out for himself.
"Boss Chen, what's your condition?"
"What?"
"How about I make a condition? What do you think, Boss Chen?"
"Boss Ma can just say it."
Not knowing what Ma Yun was thinking, Chen Yu continued to listen.
"We're willing to give you 10% of the shares. Is Boss Chen interested?"
"I see."
He didn't expect Jack Ma's condition to be this.
"Boss Chen, I know you might not be interested. However, I want to say that the e-commerce market is huge. It's not something that Huanyu Technologies can handle alone. Rather than that, they might as well cooperate with each other. If you buy 10% of Ali's shares, no matter how Ali develops in the future, it will be good for Huanyu Technologies, right? "
"What Boss Ma said makes sense."
Chen Yu nodded.
Ma Yun's move was not bad.
Exchanging shares for space was indeed a brilliant move.
If it were Chen Yu, Chen Yu wouldn't be willing to do that.
But if he didn't do that, Ali wouldn't have much of a chance.
However, Chen Yu was not interested in Ali's shares. "Boss Ma, I'm sorry. The e-commerce market is huge. How much we can take is our own business. How much Ali could take down was also Boss Ma's method. As for the shares, why don't you talk to Sun Zhengyi? He is very interested in your shares. If you take more funds, you might be able to last longer. "
"Chen Yu, don't go overboard."
"Boss Ma, I'm innocent of what you said."
Chen Yu spread his hands.
Business competitions were like this.
It's either you die, or I live.
If Huanyu Technologies' e-commerce business had developed very well, perhaps Chen Yu would consider Teacher Ma's suggestion.
However, e-commerce in China was still in its infancy.
Being gentle to the enemy was being cruel to yourself.
Don't think that Huanyu Technologies' e-commerce business was stable and safe.
No …
In the Internet era, there were plenty of talents who could overthrow you.
Think about how Baidu declined and how Nokia died.
Even if it was Penguin, was it invincible in his previous life?
No, no, no …
The words jumped out. Penguin was also under a lot of pressure.
"It's my treat this time, Boss Ma. Goodbye."
Without saying anything else, Chen Yu paid the bill in advance and left Hotpot Beauty.
…
"Boss Ma, how was it?"
"Chen Yu from Huanyu Technologies is not easy to fool. However, it's not like we don't have a way. "
Helplessly returning to Alibaba's headquarters, Ma Yun called Lu Zhaoxi over. "It looks like we're going to fight a difficult battle. Although Huanyu Technologies made a two-choice policy for users, they didn't force it. Therefore, we still have a chance. Inform everyone that as long as a user opens a shop on Taobao, we'll reward 100 yuan. "
"Boss Ma, I'm afraid someone will pay."
"It's okay, let them. The more they pay, the better it is for us."
"But …"
Lu Zhaoxi wanted to continue but was interrupted by Ma Yun. "I've already decided."
"Yes."
Lu Zhaoxi had no choice but to do as he was told.
In fact, Lu Zhaoxi objected not only because users would pay.
Paying was a small matter.
Currently, there were only about 100,000 people who opened online shops in China.
Even if there were another 100,000 shops and each shop gave 100 yuan, the total would only be 10 million yuan.
Alibaba could afford 10 million yuan.
Even if the money was wasted, they could just treat it as an advertisement.
However, Lu Zhaoxi knew the real reason. Even if such a reward was announced, it would be useless.
That was because such a reward could only attract those who paid and did not do much online business.
Those who did business online would never open a shop on Taobao for 100 yuan.
Those who could open a shop on Taobao would also not do business on Taobao wholeheartedly.
Since they could not wholeheartedly do business on Taobao, the shopping experience would naturally not be enough for consumers.
If that was not enough, it would be strange if Taobao's business would be good.
However, even so, Lu Zhaoxi knew that Alibaba could only come up with such a move.
Although this move might not be very useful, it was better than doing nothing.
"Then, should we follow up on Huanyu Technologies's promotion?"
"Yes."
"I'm worried that our data will be ugly."
"We have to follow even if it's ugly, as long as we don't announce the sales data to the public."
Although they knew that they would be beaten if they followed.
They had no choice but to follow.
They were weaker than others and often had no choice.
They knew that this promotion had nothing to do with Alibaba, but they still had to participate.
They knew that this promotion was against Alibaba, but Jack Ma could only slap their face until it was swollen.
As for the reason, there was only one, and that was to persevere.
Although Jack Ma liked to brag, his vision was extremely sharp.
He knew very well that the e-commerce market would grow ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times in the future.
As long as they persevered, even if they were beaten to a pulp by Huanyu Technologies, it would not be a big deal.
As long as they persevered until the industry exploded, as long as they persevered until the market matured, then he would have succeeded.
However … sometimes, persevering was not an easy task.
