Rewrite the Technological Landscape

From the end of April to the beginning of May, news of cooperation between Microsoft, Yahoo, Amazon, and eBay popped up on the Internet from time to time, and netizens called them the Four Hegemons of the Empire.

Cooperation methods have also been released one after another. Microsoft provides system binding, Yahoo provides platform promotion, and Amazon ebay uses MSN and Yahoo Messenger as transaction communication software. entertainment and shopping experience.

The products of the four companies are also authorized to each other. At the same time, there are cooperative members who pay for the four companies at one time, saving users a lot of money.

More directly, the Four Hegemons of the Empire shouted slogans in China to improve the online experience of Chinese netizens.

Microsoft and Yahoo focus on product richness. From the perspective of Internet product richness, Microsoft and Yahoo have developed for so many years. From social networking to search to entertainment to daily life, the product line is indeed very rich, and can even be deepened into every professional field. go.

eBay and Amazon have played three cards of merchant qualification, after-sales service, and global purchase.

And eBay CEO Whitman came to China on May 5 and gave another high-profile speech.

Although Whitman is a woman, she has always spoken in a very high-profile and rampant manner. In 2003, she directly boasted that she would monopolize the Chinese e-commerce industry within 18 months. As a result, in November 2004, This awesomeness was beaten to pieces by Taobao.

In his speech on May 5, Whitman began to belittle domestic e-commerce platforms again. This is also eBay’s long-standing competitive strategy. He tried his best to belittle domestic e-commerce platforms and suppress the promotion of domestic e-commerce platforms. The group's thigh has been spared a lot of pressure. In the previous life, eBay directly bought off major domestic Internet companies and prevented them from promoting Taobao news.

By looking up related news from 2003 to 2005, we can see how badly Taobao was abused by eBay when it was promoting this area. Taobao was forced to post small advertisements on telephone poles.

Some people may wonder why they helped eBay suppress a domestic company. First, eBay naturally gave the money in place. Second, hey, the past ten years have been the most serious infiltration of domestic and foreign capital.

At that time, the three ancient giants, Sina, Sohu, and Netease all implemented a ban on Taobao advertisements on the entire Internet.

After Whitman belittled the entire e-commerce industry in China, he began to name and name Taobao,

Said that the free policy is actually a disaster for buyers. The after-sales service of Taobao is very poor, and the management of Taobao is not good.

Of course, after belittling Huaxia’s e-commerce companies, you must also brag about yourself, brag that eBay’s users in China have exceeded 10 million, and boast that the transaction volume in the first quarter has reached 800 million, and then introduce the global shopping service. In the future, Huaxia users can buy foreign products through eBay. Products, the first batch of global buyers online is still relatively small, but eBay said that it will continue to increase overseas merchants.

Finally, a reporter asked Whitman to talk about the vision after the cooperation of the four companies under the arrangement.

I saw the excitement on Whitman's face, "I think this cooperation is very great. We have discussed before what our cooperation can bring to the world. I think it is Huaxia that we can really bring value to. Because the Internet market like Huaxia has a foundation and potential, but lacks Internet awareness, a market like this needs someone to lead it, and what we want to do is such a thing.

To bring Huaxia netizens a better online experience, on this issue, Huaxia companies have done a very bad job.”

The Four Hegemons of the Empire are coming fiercely, and Whitman's speech has caused the media to rush to report. After all, he has attacked China's e-commerce companies 2 years ago, and now he is even more powerful. Full shot.

But how are Huaxia Enterprises doing? How big is the gap with the United States? In fact, netizens don’t know either. After all, everyone has never been on the Internet in the United States. They only know that the United States is a superpower. Perhaps, what Whitman said has some truth?

That's how things have been going on in the first place. Wait until the Four Hegemons of the Empire start to exert their strength, and then see what they can develop into. After all, foreign companies have entered China in recent years, and everyone is used to it.

But when they were vigorously promoting, the cooperation statement of Dafeng Group Ying Haiwei and Ali also came out, which made things more interesting.

On May 8, the three companies held a press conference at Dafeng Group to officially announce their cooperation.

At the press conference, Meng Qian's words left a deep impression on people.

A reporter asked whether the cooperation of the three companies is to resist the impact from the alliance of Microsoft, Yahoo, Amazon and eBay.

Meng Qian looked at the reporter with a serious expression, "I have made it very clear just now that the purpose of the cooperation between our three companies is to further promote the overseas development of Huaxia Internet companies.

As for the cooperation between the four companies you mentioned, I do not deny that their cooperation has a catalytic effect on our cooperation. After all, they are in a competitive relationship.

But what you said that we want to resist them is nonsense. Have you ever thought about a question? There is almost no competition between Dafeng Group Yinghaiwei and Alibaba. Our cooperation can complement each other very well. , but Microsoft and Yahoo are old rivals, and Amazon and eBay also have a direct competitive relationship. Microsoft Yahoo and Amazon eBay have also had more and more overlapping industries in recent years, so why should they cooperate?

Under what circumstances would you cooperate with your opponent? "

The reporters at the scene looked at each other, and Meng Qian gave the answer, "When you meet the same opponent, and you can't beat that opponent on your own, you will cooperate. So now it's not us who are resisting them, but they are trying to resist us.

So I will reiterate again in the end, our cooperation is to enhance international competitiveness, and we should deal with domestic competition normally. As for the four companies you mentioned, in China, they are not yet qualified to give advice. "

What Meng Qian said was crazy, especially the last sentence that went directly to Whitman, but he obviously did it on purpose. Whitman, an entrepreneur from the United States, can stand so crazy on the land of China, and Meng Qian, a Chinese So what if the local entrepreneurs went crazy, Meng Qian wondered if he had said it too euphemistically afterwards.

Meng Qian's madness immediately became the topic of the media, and the media like this kind of thing.

"Smoke fills the air, and the war between local and overseas Internet companies quietly begins. "

"Young and Frivolous or Confident? Analyze the advantages of Dafeng Group. "

The matter was messed up by Meng Qian, which attracted more attention, and more people were looking forward to the final result.

On May 10th, Whitman was about to leave Huaxia. Before she left, she reviewed the situation of Huaxia Company for the last time. On this day, Meng Qian gave her a gift.

Shao Yibo, chairman of eBay Huaxia, reported the latest situation to Whitman with an uneasy face, "A number of Internet companies in China, including Netease, Sohu, and Sina, suddenly announced today that they have banned us from advertising, because our advertisements have false propaganda. .”

"False propaganda? What false propaganda is there in our advertisement? I remember that your current advertising law in Huaxia is useless."

"This is obviously just an excuse." Shao Yibo explained, "Our domestic Internet publicity platform has three echelons in terms of influence, the first echelon is Dafeng Group, the second echelon is Yinghaiwei Sina Sohu Netease and other companies, the The third echelon is some other Internet companies, "

"Gale Group." Whitman's face changed, "Since Taobao wants to do this, then we will play with him, you go to those companies, we raise the bargaining chip, companies like Sina, Sohu and Netease are actually eager to profit from our confrontation , we just give the money."

"Things may not be so simple." Shao Yibo swallowed, "The Dafeng Group is almost the majority shareholder of these second-tier companies in China, and even the third-tier Internet companies have the shadow of the Dafeng Group behind them. , Some Dafeng Group directly buys shares, and some companies buy shares from Dafeng Group. Our Huaxia Internet is firmly taken by Dafeng Group.

So. If the Dafeng Group is willing, he can almost seal off all the propaganda outlets of a company on the Huaxia Internet. "

Whitman looked at Shao Yibo incredulously, "How is this possible?!"

In this life, Meng Qian returned to eBay the means that eBay used to suppress Taobao.

In Huaxia at this time, it is not your turn for ebay to dictate here.
