Chapter 105 Opportunities belonging to Alipay
Although SARS is a disaster, China's business, tourism, retail and transportation industries are all hit hard by SARS,
But it is also an opportunity for many Internet companies. China's Internet and the Internet-based new economy seem to see a glimmer of lasting growth.
Because people are trapped at home for a long time, they have to seek help from the Internet to obtain information and entertainment. At the same time, due to the increase in the number of people online and the extension of online time, the traffic of each website has been rising steadily. The stock prices of the three major portals, Sina, Sohu and NetEase, have all begun to rise.
Especially NetEase's stock price has gone from less than $1, but suddenly rose to $12. Lu Lu, who is far away in the United States, also called Li Feng and told Li Feng this good news that the 3 million US dollars that year were bought at an average of 08 yuan, and now it is worth 45 million US dollars.
Lu Lu, who has always been calm, has never seen such money before, and he is a little panicked. In this regard, Li Feng comforted Lu Lu to relax, not to panic, and be patient. NetEase's stock price will definitely rise than the issue price.
Li Feng is not sure how high NetEase’s stock price rose to that year, but Li Feng’s only sure NetEase’s stock price must have exceeded the issue price by 155.
And at the end of 2003, Ding Lei, who was only 32 years old, ranked first in Hurun's mainland rich list with a wealth of 7.5 billion yuan, allowing a generation of young Internet IT elites to see the infinite future of the Internet.
It will not be too late to sell at $16, and by then these shares will be worth $60 million, which is simply more profitable than Fengrui.
Originally, Li Feng still gave Lu Lu some commission, but Lu Lu wanted to do so. He just hoped that Li Feng could invest in a fund company and let her manage it.
Li Feng also agreed readily. After all, she was just talking, and there was Lu Lu's specific trading here. With such a financial genius, Li Feng didn't want to let go. He was also very relieved about Lu Lu and Li Feng, and promised Lu Lu would at least give her $20 million to operate.
However, Li Feng required that half of the funds must be included, and specific operation plans must be formulated according to Li Feng's ideas. Lu Lu also readily agreed. After all, Li Feng has proved his vision with facts.
For Fengrui Technology, no one noticed any changes in Fengrui Technology from the moment of working from home to the end of quarantine. On the contrary, Fengrui's performance has been rising steadily, and many products have broken through historical highs.
The highest number of online users in "Miracle Mu" has reached 1.2 million at the same time, and there are tens of millions of dollars in flow every day, becoming a veritable money-making machine;
Before Renren’s registered users were fully opened, there were nearly 20 million registered users.
It has almost reached the ceiling of the number of college students. After all, there are only more than 2,000 universities in China, with an average of about 20,000 to 30,000 people in each university.
As of April 26, Li Feng officially opened Renren.com to the public, allowing everyone to register, the number of users increased by millions almost every day.
The number of posts in Tieba has also hit new highs, especially the SARS bar, which has tens of thousands of posts every day.
Renren.com's real name is a real acquaintance relationship between people, and Tieba and future application software are anonymous in front and real names in the background.
In addition, it was only promoted among college students, which cultivated user habits. After the full opening, everyone accepted this habit.
Renren's model has also been loved by users. At this point, Renren has gained a foothold in the Chinese Internet and has gradually begun to reveal its "fangs".
The overall Internet has been blessed by SARS. In addition to Internet cafes, if Internet cafes are still considered Internet.
But if we talk about search, email, games, portals, and e-commerce, who is the one that benefits the most? It is undoubtedly e-commerce.
Before SARS, people used shopping as their main means, but due to SARS, people are now reluctant to go out to shop except for essential goods, and have begun to avoid buying things in places with high traffic.
Some people have begun to try shopping online, and more and more people choose online transactions with the lowest risk of disease transmission, which has greatly developed e-commerce, which is in its infancy at the time.
2003 can be said to be the "Year of Online Public Opinion", the "Year of Portal Website", the "Year of Ding Lei", and the "Year of Internet",
Too many Internet predecessors are worth looking forward to, too many big events are worth remembering. Not only in 2003, every year since the rise of the Internet should be the "year of the Internet".
But for the Internet, 2003 should be the "year of e-commerce" or even the "year of Taobao".
The biggest function of Taobao is to change people's shopping methods and cultivate users' online shopping habits.
This is a process from 0 to 1, creating a whole new business model, rather than a simple accumulation from 1 to n.
Even if the c2c Taobao will be surpassed by b2c Tmall and JD.com in the future, it is undeniable that Taobao’s significance to e-commerce.
As for the "fakes" on Taobao, Li Feng likes to regard it as a product of social progress, "existence is reasonable", and many of them are also known to users to buy fakes, which indulges in the emergence of fakes.
Just like the current "Faoduoduo", "Pinduoduo", it captures low-income people in third-, fourth- and fifth-tier cities. Many people have not even used it and have already been listed on the iPo market, up to 30 billion US dollars.
Just like the current video copyright, music copyright is becoming more and more perfect, and more and more users are watching genuine versions on novel websites. The era of people willing to pay for "knowledge" will eventually come.
Whether to sell fakes on Taobao or not, Li Feng doesn’t care about it or not, but Li Feng knows that his “Alipay” has come.
The reason why Li Feng rated "Alipay" as "s-" is because "Alipay" needs to eat "data" and also needs to be "feeded" the "maternal body", and this "maternal body" is Alibaba's Taobao!
The reason why B2b's Alibaba launched C2c's Taobao is to fight ebay after acquiring eBay.
Li Feng didn’t know when Alibaba launched “Alipay” after launching Taobao, but it must be half a year later.
And it was launched directly as a third-party payment software, with the purpose of just a tool to enhance the trust of Taobao users.
No one knows better than himself that the future value of Alipay is now, and this is the "online bank" that can evolve into a true super financial platform!
It is estimated that even Mr. Ma, the founder of Alipay, would not have gone beyond the e-commerce itself to look at the development prospects of Alipay.
Now my Alipay is just a simple online recharge system, but it has already formed products. There are many registered users. At least the users of "Miracle Mu" recharge with Alipay. It is time to build Alipay into a third-party payment software.
And you can also use "Alipay" as a third-party payment software and use it on Alibaba's Taobao. Even if you let Alibaba use it for free, you will make a profit by yourself.
So, Li Feng found Xu Jiawei, who was specifically responsible for the promotion of "Alipay", and President Liu Zhiping, to discuss Alipay's next strategic deployment.
