Chapter 303 Seeking Skin from a Tiger
As a group buying website, the current group buying is indeed not enough to attract Alibaba.
Because when the issue of financial licenses is resolved, the market for group buying websites will be reshuffled. Whether it is Lashou.com, Manzuo.com, Tongcheng.com or Letao.com, in Ali’s view, the one that can survive to the end is the one that is worth it. Cooperation" partner.
Although a college student entrepreneurial project can survive well in the local market, once it reaches the national poker table, it really has no cards to play.
But when the file rewritten by Gu Ming was opened, everything changed.
They may not care about a small group buying website, but the other party claims that it has the market channels for college students across the country and is also a representative of Jinan's business district, which makes them a little surprised.
The person who has been in contact with Sun Zhi is called Wang Qianji, a business manager of the Alipay project.
She was quite puzzled when she received Sun Zhi's email. She didn't expect that even after she clearly expressed her rejection, the other party still refused to give up.
But when she opened the email and saw the name in the attachment, she knew she was wrong. If what was said in the plan was true, then this cooperation meeting would have exceeded her decision-making authority.
So she submitted the document to her superior, waited patiently, and ended up waiting for a dinner.
"Mr. Pang, Douyin controls the university city market across the country. With our two institutions becoming strategic partners, everything in the future will become very smooth."
"But I did a little research and found that Mr. Gu's Zhihu only promotes 1 cities, which is far from the so-called nationwide. It's a bit bragging."
"Really? It's already 2, damn, the news I received here is the 1th one."
Gu Ming looked at the woman opposite and smiled: "But it's not a big problem. It will be a matter of time before Douyin enters colleges and universities across the country. By then, I hope to work with your company to create a new future."
The woman sitting opposite Boss Gu is called Pang Rui. She has just been transferred to the Alipay project. Although her position has not been determined yet, everyone knows that the chairman is going to arrange for her to be the CEO.
Pang Rui was a very kind woman. She listened to Gu Ming's words while eating, but she was not angry because of his bragging. Instead, she was smiling all the time.
Gu Ming understands that the more such a person is, the more difficult it is to deal with it, because you don't know which of his words she is interested in.
"Then, what do you mean when you say you have mastered the most popular market brand in the future?" Pang Rui suddenly asked.
"The plan briefly mentioned a strategic cooperation project called Jinan First Station Plan. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to use the Internet to market Jinan's local brands. They haven't become popular yet, but they will become popular soon. ”
"Another cake painted on the wall?" Pang Rui was a little confused.
Gu Ming coughed: "Just like Douyin will enter universities across the country, it is certain that they will take over the national market. I think the results should be seen in the second half of the year. After Alipay obtains the financial license, the most important thing is To attract users and develop public consumption habits, I think you may need some chain-operated offline stores to promote the process of Alipay replacing traditional payments."
"We haven't even gotten the permit yet, but Mr. Gu has already thought about the follow-up matters for us?"
"Of course, I smile when I think about it. Mr. Pang, think about it. You can enter the university city market across the country through the channel of Douyin, and suddenly you will have a large number of registered users. It is still the easiest to accept." For college students who shop online, on the other hand, all our chain companies in Jinan Shangbang will also give priority to recommending them to use Alipay for offline payment."
Pang Rui stopped her chopsticks: "What is Alipay offline payment? I don't seem to understand."
Gu Ming made a square gesture: "It's like having something, electronic, just like a barcode. Once you scan it, it will drop the user's money into the hands of the merchant."
""
"Where did you know this?"
"My guess."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into silence, Pang Rui suddenly stopped smiling, and Gu Ming lost his exaggeration.
There was silence for a while, and Wang Xinji kept his head down while eating. He didn't know which of Gu Ming's words hit Mr. Pang's heart.
"I really guessed it. Am I right?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. It sounds a bit fanciful."
Gu Ming pursed his lips: "If Alipay is left to me, I will definitely do it."
Mr. Pang was silent for a moment: "Mr. Gu, I have always had a question for you. Can you answer it for me?"
"Mr. Pang, please tell me."
"I read your information before coming here. You started doing Douyin in 14, and suddenly stopped during the hottest period. You spent all your money on group buying. After it became popular in Jinan, you stopped again and continued to do Zhiyin. Huh, actually many people don’t understand why, because it takes a lot of courage to retreat from the rapids, what are you waiting for?"
Gu Ming nodded: "As you have discovered, I have indeed been slowing down and waiting for Alipay."
Pang Rui smiled: "We don't even have the confidence to push the bank to make changes. Where did Mr. Gu get the confidence?"
"I don't have confidence in you, I have confidence in this prosperous era."
Pang Rui felt an indescribable strange feeling in her heart.
This young man used his future as a bargaining chip to gamble on the future direction of Alipay.
What's the meaning?
Douyin has not yet become popular across the country, and the brands he mentioned that are about to become popular across the country have just left Jinan, and Alipay is also now unable to bypass banks at all.
He takes something he doesn't have yet and exchanges it for something Alipay doesn't have.
This is the first time Pang Rui has seen this kind of cooperation talk. Do you want to bet your awesomeness on your awesomeness?
"You, a 1-year-old college student, are already very good at being able to cover an entire city with your project, but I don't quite understand. You rely on gambling every step of the way?"
"I admit that every step I took was a gamble, but the facts proved that I was right in every step."
Pang Rui picked up the tablecloth and wiped her mouth, lost in thought.
As for the national college student market mentioned by Gu Ming, she thinks there is no problem, because according to the information Wang Qianqian submitted previously, Zhihu has spread to 1 cities in just one month. It is really only a matter of time before entering universities across the country. The problem.
The group of college students is the most important target user for Alipay.
If Alipay needs to be promoted later, Douyin is indeed a good choice.
In addition, regarding the brand he said will be popular all over the country in the future, this sentence seems like nonsense, but Pang Rui feels that this may not be just nonsense.
There is a marketing plan for herbal tea drinks mentioned in the plan. From her perspective of being in the market for many years, as long as the owner of this brand is not stupid, it will definitely be famous throughout the country in the future.
What does Alipay need to pay? You only need to give a first-tier cooperation quota, and then pay a symbolic promotion fee.
The most important thing is that there is no other capital behind group buying. If it is raised and then acquired, Alibaba will be able to take the lead in both community group buying and Internet e-commerce.
What's more, campus social networking sites with extremely high verticality are also a big fortune.
As a candidate for CEO, Pang Rui came to meet a little-known college student entrepreneur. Of course, she wanted more than what was in the plan.
Of course, Gu Ming was also a talent in her heart, and if she could digest him, that would be a very good choice.
"It's really interesting to chat with Mr. Gu, but let's not get too deep into the conversation. Let's talk about the price. How much do you expect for the promotion fee?"
"I have no interest in money. My goal is to make Group Buying and Alipay the first-tier strategic partners. If I give you a certain amount, Mr. Pang will take care of it."
"Okay, let's first wish this cooperation a success." Pang Rui picked up the wine glass.
Gu Ming picked up the wine glass, drank it down, took out his chopsticks, and picked up the only thing he ate at the banquet, tiger skin and chicken feet.
At 6 o'clock in the evening on the 8th, in the Hilton Hotel in Qingdao, Sun Zhi opened his mouth wide and did not speak for a long time after listening to his boss recounting the process of last night's discussion.
It turns out that the real game is to exchange something that you don’t have for something that others don’t have? How cool, this is too cool.
"But boss, why did you only eat one tiger skin and chicken feet, and why do you have to emphasize it so much?"
"Because I am seeking skin from a tiger."
Gu Ming held a can of beer, leaned against the window sill, and took two sips, his eyes illuminated by the neon lights outside the window.
Why did Alibaba 1 directly reject Gu Mingfang’s request for cooperation in the first place?
In fact, it is because they feel that it is not necessary to intervene in the group buying market too early. What if they support a junk product and eventually die in the market competition?
I'll wait and wait until everyone has almost finished competing, and then I'll just buy the best one.
Now, this cooperation agreement uses the college student market as a weight, allowing Ali to make early choices and intervene in the group buying market. In fact, Gu Ming personally exposed himself to the crisis.
However, he had no other choice.
Group buying was restricted to Jinan for a whole year and he was waiting for Alipay. At this stage, he had no choice because among all third-party payment software, only Alipay and WeChat Pay were the future.
However, the emergence of WeChat Pay will have to wait for another 3 years. Gu Ming cannot afford to wait, and the market will not leave him 3 years, so the only option he can choose is Alipay.
However, group buying websites and e-commerce websites are in a competitive relationship to a certain extent. Once they gain momentum, some people will definitely be happy to say that the pigs raised by themselves have finally become fat, so celebrate the New Year!
However, if you want to kill me, you have to ask me if the nine-tooth nail rake in my old pig's hand will answer.
