Chapter 865

Forced to come to the company, Meng Qian quickly entered the working state.

There is actually a reason for returning to China in December this time. Originally, Meng Qian still wanted to go to a few countries, but he had to come back. Because of the advance promotion of 5G in this life, in this December, the first stage of 5G will be fully developed. The function standardization work will be completed soon, and Meng Qiande will be responsible for further promoting 5G applications and China's 5G leadership.

So after returning to the office, Meng Qian took out his mobile phone and was about to contact Ren Zhengfei, Zhang Shuxin and others to ask when they would come to Hangzhou, but he saw someone in the West Lake group discussing something.

Ying Haiwei sued Taobao.

Meng Qian looked up the chat records and checked related events based on the chat records. Just yesterday, Ying Haiwei did sue Taobao, and the popularity developed faster than everyone imagined. After all, people who eat melons like Watch the big factories fight.

As for the reason for suing Taobao this time, it is because Taobao condoned intellectual property infringement.

The knowledge payment system that Ying Haiwei spent more than ten years laying out finally achieved some results, but was directly messed up by some Taobao sellers.

They packaged and sold dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of paid content on Yinghaiwei’s paid knowledge platform for one or two yuan on Taobao, which greatly affected Yinghaiwei’s income.

Ying Haiwei has sued these stores many times, and invited Taobao to jointly manage them. However, during the negotiation process, Ying Haiwei felt that Taobao's attitude was very negative, so he simply sued Taobao.

After all, for Ying Haiwei, paying for knowledge is not only one of their main profit points, but also something they want to work hard to change.

Judging from the market reaction, this time Zhanyinghaiwei and Zhantaobao are almost 50-50.

Half of the people support cracking down on piracy and infringement, while the other half criticize Dafeng Ying Haiwei for not knowing the sufferings of the world, not knowing that people have no money to watch genuine copies, and even rejecting paying for knowledge.

The two sides are tearing up on the Internet in full swing.

Meng Qian, who had just learned the news, didn't step forward to mediate immediately, and called Gu Junhui and Shao Yibo into his office.

Shao Yibo happened to be away from the meeting, so he came to Meng Qian's office first. He didn't know that Meng Qian was looking for him for this matter, but thought it was another matter. He looked at Meng Qian with a guilty face and said, "President Meng, This time, I really missed it."

Meng Qian couldn't help frowning, wondering what happened during his absence in China.

"What are you talking about?"

Shao Yibo was also taken aback for a moment, what happened? Are there many more things?

Unable to figure it out for a while, Shao Yibo said according to his own thinking, "I'm talking about shared bicycles. I really didn't expect that shared bicycles will become like this recently. In the first half of the year, the entire industry is still full of vitality."

Naturally, Meng Qian knew the outcome of the shared bicycles, but he didn't interfere with Shao Yibo's decision-making before, and his prophet has only been around for two years. There is no point in interfering too much at this time, "How much is the estimated loss this time?"

"At least 5 billion." Shao Yibo expressed remorse.

"90% of the investment failures in the investment industry are normal in the industry. You don't need to worry about the failure of a shared bicycle now. You should spend more time on the next investment." Meng Qian didn't want to blame Shao Yibo.

"Although the industry data is true, the failure of this investment in shared bicycles has too much impact, and it is also a serious blow to our investment reputation. This is my problem."

Shao Yibo was willing to take the responsibility, but Meng Qian did not protect him, "Then outside the rules, let's punish myself a little more."

"Okay." Shao Yibo nodded in recognition of the fine, then looked at Meng Qian with some hesitation, "Mr. Meng, can I ask you a question?"

"explain."

"I reviewed all the investment projects of the company some time ago, and then I discovered one thing," Shao Yibo paused unconsciously, "As Mr. Meng said, a 90% failure rate in investment banks is normal, but in Before I came to the company, the company's investment projects were basically under the leadership of Mr. Meng. In the few years when Mr. Meng was at the helm, the company's investment success rate was as high as 80%, especially in the first few years, whichever company Mr. Meng invested in was profitable.

Moreover, Mr. Meng’s investments are almost all companies that have exploded in later generations. At present, among the top 50 private companies in the domestic technology company rankings, our company holds 42 shares, of which the last 37 are invested by Mr. Meng, and almost all of them are in They just invested in the start-up stage.

Mr. Meng's investment can no longer be described as a god. "

"So what do you want to express?" Meng Qian looked at Shao Yibo with the calmest eyes.

Shao Yibo's heart was complicated, and he still didn't know how to say some words, "I just want to ask Mr. Meng for tips."

"First of all, the times are different. In the era of early 2000, with direction, courage, money, and a team, it was easy to accomplish things in the Internet industry. It was an era when private enterprises in the Chinese Internet industry started. For entrepreneurs, Well, it was a golden age, and it was also a golden age for investors, but it is difficult to encounter such an era in China.

Although the exploration of the fourth revolution has started now, the general environment is completely different, and everyone's start is completely different, which is not the same. "

Meng Qian explained very reasonably, "Secondly, investors like to talk about looking into the future. This is true in itself, but few people remember to look down more."

"Look under your feet?"

"What are the basic elements of Ali's success?"

"Essentials? Hmm. Pervasiveness of the Internet."

"What are the basic elements of Internet ubiquity?"

Shao Yibo couldn't help thinking for a while, "Equipment? Policy?"

Meng Qian shook his head and gave the answer, "It's the economy."

Shao Yibo recalled, "Yes, it's the economy."

"This is called looking down. Especially Dafeng Group is now making global investments. We must learn to look down. In recent years, the economic growth rate of developed countries has generally slowed down, and the economic growth rate of developing countries has surged. This is things underfoot.

Because many futures are actually written in history. After a country’s economy develops, the proportion of the tertiary industry will inevitably increase. This is the future and history. As long as you see the road under your feet clearly, the future will actually be obvious. "

Shao Yibo suddenly realized, but he had a question again, "Then how should we look at historical leaders like us in China and the United States? Just like this shared bicycle, we are ahead of the curve, and we have no history to learn from."

"What is the biggest topic in the entire investment community this year, apart from the sharing economy?"

"Burning money." Shao Yibo blurted out.

"Why Koubei can now become the largest group buying platform in the country, why Fengxing can become the largest online car-hailing brand in the country, and what users need most in the end, lower your head and look at your feet, it is no problem to burn money, but it must be burned to the core Point.

The core demand for users to ride a bicycle is to travel, not to take advantage of your platform’s dollar.

Just like the first example I gave when I was doing Fengxing, on a rainy day, you didn’t bring an umbrella, and you were anxious to go to the client to sign the contract. At this time, you need to pay one yuan more than going to the rain to hail a taxi Let a car drive directly in front of you to pick you up, are you willing to pay this one dollar?

The core of making products must be to meet the needs of users, and the essence of any product is service. "

When Meng Qian said this, Shao Yibo was already lost in thought.

Meng Qian didn't say much, after all, the core problem was because he was a reborn.

Soon, Gu Junhui knocked on the door after he was busy with the work at hand, and Meng Qian beckoned Gu Junhui to sit on another chair opposite him, "It just so happened that I just talked to Lao Shao about making products based on customer needs. Our products After satisfying the needs of customers, it is natural for customers to pay for our services at this time. The company makes profits and makes better products and better services. This is a virtuous circle.

But now we seem to have to face a problem. Some users want both services and free services. What should we do? "

"Boss Meng is talking about Ying Haiwei suing Taobao, right?" Gu Junhui understood immediately.

"It seems that you are very concerned about this matter."

"After all, we have spent a lot of effort on the issue of knowledge payment. Our situation is actually similar to that of Ying Haiwei. Those who do online piracy have eaten away a lot of our profits. Fortunately, our knowledge payment accounts for the proportion of the entire enterprise revenue. The ratio is not very big, so we have never made things big."

"It's true that the entire knowledge payment industry is very bad this year." Shao Yibo answered subconsciously, and suddenly realized that Meng Qian should have come here for this matter.

"How to say?"

"Last year, a lot of knowledge payment platforms were launched. Under the leadership of Ying Haiwei, everyone developed well last year, but this year, 90% of these platforms died. To put it bluntly, everyone spent a year working hard on it. There are a bunch of knowledge products, and this year the pirates released all these products for free.

However, it is time-consuming and energy-consuming to file a lawsuit in this area. Before the lawsuit is over, the company collapses. "

"In fact, it's not just people who pay for knowledge. Many people are saying that it is too difficult for Huaxia to innovate. If you just innovate today, pirated copies will come out tomorrow."

Meng Qian tapped the table with his fingers, "This matter is simple, but it is actually very complicated, and it is complicated, but it is actually very simple.

The key is that someone has to stand up and explain the problem clearly, but because it is not a qualitative topic, no one wants to speak. "

Gu Junhui and Shao Yibo couldn't help but look at each other, "Mr. Meng plans to speak up?"

"It's not really a voice, find a chance and talk to everyone."
