Chapter 445 (1/2)
After getting the design drawings, Li Mu asks Lin Qingya to arrange someone to help him find some manufacturers that can produce MP3. It's better to be a relatively large OEM enterprise. If it's in China, it's better.
Lin Qingya immediately arranged three business contacts to take charge of this matter, looking for a suitable OEM for MP3 production.
Li Mu attached great importance to this matter. In addition, he asked Lin Qingya to send people to Taiwan, Japan and South Korea to investigate and understand the OEM resources of MP3 industry. He was not very relieved about the electronic industry in mainland China in 2002. These days, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are the most powerful ones in the electronic industry. It is also very intentional to send people to investigate the industry After all, Li Mu knows that he can't only make this hardware.
Li Mu's goal is to customize and sell 500000 MP3 players at the end of this year, but the first batch will first customize 100000 to 200000. After Taobao goes online, try to push a wave.
Li Mu is now an electric business, and is much more mature than Ali did when he was doing that. Not only because he had turned Alipay into a payment channel for millions of users, but also because he had gathered a large number of users through post bar, happy farm and YY, which is rising rapidly. YY
For Li Mu, he has taken both the early rising Tengxun and the early rising Ali into his hands. These two big Internet companies with assets of more than 200 billion US dollars each have been in love for many years and have no choice but to kill each other. Tengxun has huge viscosity users but no e-commerce gene. He has not been able to make any action in the field of e-commerce by spending money and resources. In the end, he can only Alibaba is full of e-commerce genes and wants to make use of its huge online shopping user base to socialize. However, it is also born with a lack of genes in social aspects. It is the same with money and resources. Finally, it fails to socialize.
Now, we have a firm foothold in the field of social communication. The number of registered users of YY keeps rising, approaching the 80 million mark. In terms of the number of registered users, we have only a little distance from QQ, and will soon catch up with each other. In terms of user viscosity, YY has far surpassed QQ by virtue of its powerful product functions, as well as the cooperation of post bar, space and happy farm, and left it behind Behind the head.
Now QQ has begun to decline. Although they have cancelled all commercial advertisements, it is still incomparable with YY, because YY itself has no advertisement, and the product UI design is stronger than QQ for an era. Everyone makes pure and advertising free chat software, and YY's experience still exceeds QQ by dozens of streets.
As for QQ's member price reduction activities, the results of so many days show that this method has not achieved much effect in fact. For those users who have completely abandoned QQ and transferred to YY, they have got everything they want on YY, and their contacts have also migrated completely, and even integrated with the contacts of tieba and Kaixin farm, even if QQ member services Free delivery, they will not go back to use at all. The reason is very simple. Users rely on social software with strong exclusiveness. After focusing on one of them, they will not use other similar products.
The only thing that worries Li Mu a little is whether Tengxun will have a magic touch in the next product development. If so, Tengxun will be able to pull back a city temporarily; if not, YY will soon eat up its market share.
In Li Mu's opinion, it's a matter of certainty for YY to crush QQ and even drive QQ away from the historical stage. Now, what I have to consider is not how to compete with QQ, but how to effectively transfer the huge users of YY product group to Taobao in the future. So there are two most important things. One is MP3 player One is to urge Taobao to go online as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Fang Xudong came back in time.
By the time Fang Xudong returned, Liu had already rented an office building in Zhongguancun and started to set up a basic operation team. The front and back platform program development of taobao.com, in the R & D center of Muye science and technology, was advancing in an orderly manner, and Fang Xudong was not disappointed. The core framework he wrote for taobao.com had been completed by more than half.
Fang Dongxu came back at this time, and directly gave Li Mu a signal: the e-commerce section can be fully launched!
Therefore, Li Mu invited Fang Xudong and his senior brother Liu to come out for dinner and introduce him to Fang Xudong as soon as he came back.
Liu Qidong and Fang Xudong, both of them are top-notch figures in their fields of expertise in the last life, so although they met for the first time, they were very recognized before each other, which can be said to be the same at first sight.
The three chatted for a while. After Liu Qidong and Fang Xudong got familiar with each other, Li Mu said all his plans for the next stage of Taobao on the dinner table.
