Reborn in 08, Public Enemy of Competitors

The home appliance trade-in program is in full swing, with daily sales stabilizing at 3000 to 4000 million yuan.

Nearly 60% of the orders were placed through YiTaoGO's sharing links and promotional channels.

Su Ning and Gome, who had previously been ambiguous in their attitude, finally couldn't sit still any longer and started making calls one after another.

They proactively offer discounts and actively connect with customers, practically trying to cram the entire home appliance category into YiTaoGO's promotional pool.

Shen Mo deliberately left them hanging for a few days, then renegotiated the cooperation terms, managing to squeeze out a few more percentage points of commission.

On March 22, Shen Mo, Zhong Xue, Lin Qingyan and their group arrived at the Hangzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center, carrying with them a great victory.

The venue was covered with orange Alibaba flags, and the banners read "Online Goods Trade Fair: Making it easy to do business anywhere in the world".

The line of exhibitors and Taobao merchants at the entrance stretched as far as the eye could see.

Zhong Xue lowered her voice and asked, "Boss, are those data in the PPT really okay?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Shen Mo said, "These days, nobody cares whether the data from internet companies is real or fake; they only care if the data is big enough."

"But……"

Yuan Hua was nervous and uneasy.

The total number of users of YiTao GO was clearly only 2716 million, but Shen Mo casually changed it to 3000 million on the PPT.

The daily active users were originally 224 million, and the daily sales during the event were more than 3800 million, which was also exaggerated.

Shen Mo glanced at them: "Tell me if it's rounded up or down."

Zhong Xue's lips twitched slightly as she walked into the exhibition hall. There, she saw rows and rows of booths, filling the entire venue to the brim.

"Wow, so many people." Lin Qingyan couldn't help but exclaim.

"After all, it was specially prepared by Ahri."

As soon as Shen Mo finished speaking, several familiar figures stepped out from the crowd ahead.

Cai Chongxin walked at the front, his face beaming with enthusiasm, followed by Zhang Yong, Wu Yongming, and others.

"I presume this is Mr. Shen from YiTao GO? It's a pleasure to meet you here today."

"Mr. Cai, I've long admired your name."

Shen Mo held his hand, neither humble nor arrogant.

Let me introduce myself.

Cai Chongxin said, "This is Zhang Yong, CEO of Taobao Mall, and that is Wu Yongming, manager of YiTao.com."

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

Shen Mo narrowed his eyes and lingered on Wu Yongming for a few more seconds.

"President Shen is young and promising."

Cai Chongxin said, "If I remember correctly, you should still be a student at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, right?"

Shen Mo said frankly, "Yes, thanks to this era and the support of my alma mater, I was able to start my own business at a young age. Of course, I also owe a debt of gratitude to Ali for providing the platform; otherwise, YiTao GO wouldn't be where it is today."

"Haha, Mr. Shen, you're too kind."

Cai Chongxin waved his hand, "We'll be neighbors from now on, so let's visit each other more often when we have the chance."

"Neighbor?"

Shen Mo was puzzled.

Cai Chongxin nodded and said, "The main structure of the Xixi Park has been completed, and the B2B business group has already moved in. Before long, the entire Ali will move there. It's quite close to your Jiangsu University of Science and Technology and YiTao GO."

"A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. I will rely on Mr. Cai's help in the future."

Shen Mo narrowed his eyes; the newcomer was clearly up to no good!

"I wonder what Mr. Shen's plans are after graduation?"

Zhang Yong abruptly interjected, "Are you going to continue with YiTao GO, or move to a higher stage, like joining our Ali team?"

Shen Mo laughed and said, "If it weren't for YiTao GO, I would definitely choose Ali without hesitation after graduation."

"To be honest, Jack greatly admires you and thinks your talent is no less than Liu Qiangdong's."

Cai Chongxin continued, "If you're willing, I can make the decision right now: you can become the vice president of Taobao Mall, and I can even entrust you with the entire Ali Mama section. As for the annual salary..."

"It's a pity, I'm used to being lazy and don't like being managed."

Shen Mo smiled and said, "Besides, I'm not fighting alone now. I have to be responsible to the investors and to all the employees."

Cai Chongxin pressed further, "What if Ali were willing to acquire YiTao GO?"

"Haha, I'm looking forward to that day."

Shen Mo laughed it off, but inwardly he was cursing.

I don't believe you for a second! If you were really talking about an acquisition, why the hell would you create a competitor like YiTao?

After exchanging a few more polite words, Shen Mo made an excuse and turned to leave with his men.

As he watched his figure disappear into the crowd, Cai Chongxin's smile faded slightly.

What do you guys think of this silence?

"It's like a loach, slippery and slippery."

Zhang Yong said, "He's completely unresponsive to reason or pressure. Getting him to give up Penguin and switch to Ali would probably require a huge financial investment."

"So Jack's idea is to let YiTao undermine the value of YiTao GO."

Cai Chongxin lowered his voice, "That way, we can acquire the people, the company, and the land at a very low cost."

Zhang Yong nodded in agreement: "Wu Xie, it's up to you now."

"Rest assured, what YiTao GO can't do, YiTao can! And what YiTao GO can do, YiTao will only do better!"

Wu Yongming raised his chin, a smile on his lips revealing an undisguised arrogance.

I see YiTaoGO as a place where they sell Seoul products!

...............

Shen Mo was not in a hurry to find Huang Zheng, and the group moved around the venue.

We have successively reached cooperation agreements with garment factories from Dongguan, toy factories from Chenghai, and furniture factories from Foshan.

They also reached a preliminary consensus with brands such as Haier, Gree, and Supor, agreeing to join the home appliance trade-in program.

After walking around the area, I had a thick stack of business cards in my hand.

Lin Qingyan stood beside Shen Mo and said with a smile, "Just these things alone make this trip worthwhile."

Yuan Hua couldn't help but grin: "With so many brands and factories, we could totally form a brand group."

Shen Mo smiled without saying a word, scanned the entire room, and finally found Huang Zheng's figure in the crowd.

"Mr. Huang, you look so haggard after just a few days!"

"Sigh, it's a long story."

A slightly self-deprecating smile appeared on Huang Zheng's face. "I look so haggard, and it's all because of you!"

"But Mr. Shen, you look radiant. It seems that the collaboration between YiTao GO and Jingdong has been very successful."

"It's definitely better than I expected."

Shen Mo feigned regret and said, "Speaking of which, if Ouku.com hadn't lacked a large appliance category, YiTaoGO's first partner would have been Ouku.com, and Jingdong would never have been chosen instead."

"Mr. Shen, I've been thinking about what you said before these past few days."

Huang Zheng gave a wry smile. "The path of Ouku.com may really not be suitable for me. I may... need to switch to another track."

Shen Mo pressed further, "Which track are you switching to? Can you tell me?"

"E-commerce outsourcing is about managing the e-commerce business for large brands that want to go online but don't know how..."

Huang Zheng truthfully replied, "What does President Shen think?"

Shen Mo slowly spoke: "Does President Huang want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course it's the truth."

"Then I'll be frank, Mr. Huang. If you're going to do e-commerce outsourcing, you might as well continue with your Ouku.com."

Why?

"Although Ouku.com doesn't have a high ceiling, once it grows big and strong, it can sit at the same table as Taobao, Jingdong, and Paipai.com. While e-commerce outsourcing is a blue ocean market, how can its market size compare to that of e-commerce platforms?"

Shen Mo said bluntly, "That's like comparing a pond to the ocean."

Huang Zheng opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a moment.

"Most importantly, the upper limit of this kind of platform is very low. If the brand feels that the service is not up to standard, it can switch to another platform at any time."

"To put it bluntly, it's a business that profits quickly from the e-commerce boom. So the question is, do you need quick money?"

"If you really want to make quick money, you can just ask your older brothers Duan Yongping and Ding Lei. There's absolutely no need to do this."

Shen Mo's words were like a scalpel, precisely dissecting the true face beneath the glamorous exterior of "e-commerce outsourcing."

Huang Zheng was struck dumb, his eyes widened, and all the excitement on his face vanished.
