Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On the way to the company the next day, Meng Qian found that the enthusiasm of the maker conference was still there, and it didn't go down much. And this month's special edition of "Maker" magazine was sold out everywhere just after it went online today.

After arriving at the company, Meng Qian first took a look at the more detailed work report for the first quarter, among which Meng Qian paid special attention to the game and Fengxin sectors.

The game launched by Dafeng Group at the end of last year is called "Cool Running Life". This is a product completely designed and developed by the game center. Meng Qian did not intervene at all. This is a rare extreme sports game with further optimized 3D effects It can give players a good feeling of challenge, and the market feedback is quite good.

In addition, "Biography of God" has been a bit weak in succession, but "Ancient Mythology" is getting more and more popular, fully reaching the influence of "World of Warcraft". As for "World of Warcraft", after repeated improvements, it still maintains a certain level However, it is almost impossible to recreate the grand occasion of Warcraft. It is true that the previous highlights of Warcraft have basically been realized in advance by "Ancient Mythology".

The game’s performance in the first quarter was not bad, but Fengxin’s performance was still average. A social software with global influence has encountered further profit difficulties, which is also quite helpless.

Halfway through the work report, Ma Yun suddenly called.

"What's the matter, Boss Ma?"

"Have you read the eBay news?"

"Ebay? Haven't read it yet, what's the matter?"

"Take a look first. If you are free, I will go to your company now."

"Okay, come here."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Qian searched eBay online, and the latest news popped up immediately. Just now, eBay officially announced the merger of Huaxia Market and Yahoo. Of course, the merger was just a step, and it was sold to Yahoo.

Also in 2006, ebay had to give up the Huaxia market, but the way of leaving was completely different. In the past, ebay Huaxia was sold to TOM, but in this life, ebay Huaxia was sold to Yahoo, and the external claim was for further cooperation.

In addition, Meng Qian noticed that the transaction between ebay and Yahoo is not limited to China, ebay also sold the neon country market to Yahoo. In the past, ebay neon country was actually in 2006 Forced to leave the neon country market, and eBay lost in the neon country to Lotte.com, known as neon country Taobao, the largest e-commerce platform in the neon country.

That is, the company that was mistakenly injured by Huaxia users because of the same name as Goryeo Lotte, and hurriedly came out to explain that he had no relationship with Goryeo Lotte.

What's more interesting is that eBay also sold the Southeast Asian market, which has been testing the water for the past two years, including the Thai market that has just started to improve, to Yahoo. As for Korea, eBay has never developed in Korea.

So whether it was 2006 in the previous life or 2006 in this life, what eBay really withdrew from was not the Chinese market, but the Asian market. It’s just that this life is more decisive and comprehensive, and Yahoo in this life accepts everything. .

After reading all kinds of speculative comments on the Internet for half an hour, Ma Yun came to Meng Qian's office, "You should understand the specific situation, right?"

Meng Qian sat on the sofa, "Well, eBay is quite decisive this time, but I really didn't expect Yahoo to do this."

"I think it's completely expected." Ma Yun made a cup of tea by himself, and he really didn't see anything wrong now.

"Oh? Why do you say that."

"Due to the pressure from your major shareholder in recent months, Taobao has been testing the waters overseas." Ma Yunban joked, "Some things are really clearer after going out."

Meng Qian pretended to be disgusted, "Don't be tricky, hurry up."

"Ebay's industry is too single, and there are no more resources to use, which limits its development in Asia.

eBay has developed in Neon Country for so many years, but it has always been constrained by the logistics of Neon Country. Before eBay wanted to introduce PayPal to China, but it couldn’t pass the audit. It’s not that we deliberately made things difficult for him, but Omi’s The financial system is fundamentally different from ours, and it is impossible for the country to open this hole for him. "

Meng Qian still agrees with Ma Yun’s point of view, just like some people in later generations wondered why mobile payment developed so slowly abroad, the United States has specially explained it, because the financial system is completely different from China’s, and they lack the environmental foundation for the development of mobile payment .

However, Meng Qian also had a question, "Since this is the case, why did Yahoo take over eBay's order? Yahoo can't understand it."

"Of course Yahoo can understand. In fact, I actually talked to Yang Zhiyuan. Yahoo is fundamentally different from eBay. EBay has a single industry, but for Yahoo, e-commerce is not even the main business at present.

So for Yahoo, it can use its advantages in other fields to replace resources to achieve the purpose of breaking through various barriers. You can take a look at the third page of the document. This is the logistics company that Yahoo has cooperated with in the neon country in the past year. bank list.

Yahoo is adopting a cooperation strategy. For logistics companies like Nihongguo, what eBay can give them is nothing more than the distribution of multiple points of interest. As an external platform, eBay cannot guarantee orders.

But Yahoo is different. You see, Yahoo has just made a set of logistics software for the logistics company of Nihong Country, and there are users of the Yahoo platform behind them. What they can get from Yahoo is far greater than what they can get from eBay. thing.

As for ebay, I guess after this time, the main focus will be on the Omi market. After all, although the United States and the European Union have fought fiercely in the past few years, they have fallen in love with each other for decades. At least they have opened up the trade channel.

So it is the same when this problem falls on Taobao. If Taobao really wants to develop in other countries, I am afraid that Dafeng Group will have to come forward. "

Meng Qian touched his chin and pondered for a while, "Then what do you think Yahoo will do next?"

As soon as the words fell, Ma Yun's expression changed a lot, because Ma Yun knew what Yahoo was going to do next, and that was cross-border e-commerce.

but.

In fact, cross-border e-commerce has just begun to develop. It was only in 1999 that there was such a relatively clear concept. Now it is in the very early stage of cross-border e-commerce.

More importantly, cross-border e-commerce and domestic e-commerce are not the same concept, but Boss Ma knows very well that it is a daydream to challenge cross-border e-commerce based on Taobao's current capabilities, unless it is a small matter , It is almost impossible to establish a cross-border e-commerce system, so if you really want to play cross-border e-commerce at this time, Meng Qian can completely build a cross-border e-commerce platform to play, and you don’t have to bring Taobao , It is reasonable not even to bring Taobao.

This is what Ma Yun is worried about.

In the business field, who has no selfishness.

But fortunately, Boss Ma is still very clear-headed, not to mention these things, and Meng Qian will also learn from other channels. Some basic things about cross-border e-commerce, now looking at China, at least in Ma Yun’s opinion, only Meng Qian still has a slight possibility to challenge.

Although this may be negligible, Ma Yun knows in his heart that if Meng Qian really succeeds, even if he drinks some soup in the future, it will be a big bowl of soup.

At the same time, Ma Yun really realized that if no one does these basic things in Huaxia, Huaxia will be stuck in the development of cross-border e-commerce for a lifetime.

So the momentary hesitation is real, and the idea of ​​hoping Meng Qian to do something is also real. This matter has something to do with selfishness, but it has righteousness.

Many things are so complicated. Ma Yun looked at Meng Qian and said slowly, "Yahoo's next step is cross-border e-commerce. When it comes to cross-border e-commerce, I think we need to face up to some problems."
