Lightly said, a few words, and two projects came out of it.

The first is Taobao Preferred, which cooperates with merchants to launch products, strictly controlling all aspects from production to after-sales service.

The second is Taobao's self-operated new domestic brand, which mainly sells products in the form of self-production and self-sales. If it does well, it can also open up the offline market.

Don't ask why the decision was made so hastily, the answer is that he has the strength.

He took Mr. Ma upstairs to drink tea and talk in the tea room. The two discussed the general framework of the new project to ensure that it could be successfully promoted.

Su Yehao personally made tea at this moment and said with emotion:

"The world is developing too fast, especially the mainland now. When people of Mr. Ma's generation just left campus, the outside world may have been poor and white. Seeing the tall buildings and dazzling goods in Hong Kong and Europe and the United States, they would feel very prosperous."

"But the economy is developing so fast, the next generation's ideas may be different from yours, and the living environment is also very different. Maybe one day Japanese cars will no longer be popular, and mainland China will also have car companies with a market value of more than one trillion RMB, and a pair of shoes costing several hundred RMB will also become a very indifferent consumer product."

"If you can't grasp these major trends, you won't be able to keep up with the times. Business people like us should constantly keep pace with the times. I keep betting my chips on the northern market, betting on the battle for the general trend. Perhaps in another twenty or thirty years, the mainland's total economic volume will exceed that of the United States. I am very optimistic about the online shopping business. You hold a future online Walmart, and I just want to exceed its market value..."

The more he values Taobao, the more resources he will inevitably invest.

Realizing this, Mr. Ma couldn't help but smile and replied seriously:

"Don't worry, I will definitely invest two hundred percent of my energy to make this company better and better. In fact, I came here this time with some new ideas, which coincide with President Su's idea of supporting domestic products. For example, contacting merchants to order 10,000 pieces of goods to push down the price and attract tens of thousands of consumers to buy. In this way, merchants successfully sell things, with small profits but quick turnover, and buyers also get benefits. That's about the idea. The specifics need to be discussed further."

Su Yehao was slightly surprised, thinking that this is what is known as group buying.

After pouring a cup of tea for Mr. Ma, he said:

"The pros and cons depend on the perspective. The rise of the Internet economy will inevitably have an impact on the real economy. If you ask whether it is suitable to launch now... group purchases, abbreviated as tuangou, I can't give you an answer. We need to find someone to study it."

"...Isn't this very good? Tuangou, tuangou, it's really suitable."

"I didn't say it's not good, it's just that the timing of its launch is important."

Su Yehao also drank tea and added:

"The traditional business model is generally manufacturer, distributor, retail store, and then to the consumer. Under the e-commerce model, some become manufacturer, distributor, website, consumer. If now not only the retail link is eliminated, but even the stores in Taobao are eliminated, and it directly becomes manufacturer, website, consumer, the batch of people who just started their own businesses a few years ago will soon face an impact, and a large number of shops on the street may close down."

He is considering macro issues. It's not that it can't be promoted, but the timing may not be suitable at present.

Mr. Ma just wants to develop the company well at the moment. Hearing this, he smiled and said:

"We don't have that kind of influence yet. Although it will affect the income of some physical stores, it can also create many employment opportunities in the process. Moreover, since I can think of it, others will definitely think of it. Even if we don't do it, other companies will definitely do it."

Su Yehao certainly understood this, nodded, and continued:

"So I only said that an assessment should be done first. In the current situation where there are no competitors that can threaten us, there is no need to continue to offend many physical stores. Their lives are also very difficult."

After saying this, Su Yehao himself clearly realized that his mentality has indeed changed.

He doesn't want the opportunity to make big money, but instead prioritizes balancing the Internet economy and the real economy. This is equivalent to thinking that there is too much money and preferring to temporarily give up the opportunity to share more of the cake.

Having personally witnessed the power of the financial tsunami, he also understands that every round of industrial change will be accompanied by growing pains.

The simple word "growing pains" may involve the lives of countless people and countless families. Now, Su Yehao is clearly aware of how wide-ranging the impact of his simple idea can be.

For example, the suggestion to ban the import of foreign garbage some time ago, judging from the feedback received, has been adopted and detailed implementation measures are being formulated.

At that time, many people will inevitably lose their jobs, and many companies related to this will close down. This is unavoidable.

However, garbage is garbage after all. Only a fool would become a garbage dump for many developed countries for a little profit. Su Yehao would only think that it would be best to ban it as soon as possible.

Online shopping and physical shopping, however, are the difference between the palm and the back of the hand.

Mr. Ma said that someone will do this business sooner or later, and Su Yehao also thinks so. Aren't European and American shopping malls also competing with each other, and price wars are endless?

What makes him entangled now is nothing more than the difference between launching a few years earlier and a few years later.

In the short term, the number of netizens is limited, and the impact should not be too widespread. However, Taobao's current size is different from what it was in its previous life, which is equivalent to already being dominant. If the tuangou model is launched, it may become popular in just three or four years.

The boss said he wanted to study it, and Mr. Ma didn't talk about it any more, changing the subject with a smile:

"By the way, the last time I went to the Si Hai Club in Si Jiucheng (Beijing), the location of that place is really amazing. I invited someone to dinner there, and a senior executive from the Ha Beer Factory came. He drank three glasses in a row without saying a word, just to ask me to help introduce him, saying that if he can't get the funds, he may have to sell himself to foreign capital."

"Oh, Harbin Beer?"

Su Yehao beckoned to Linda Yun, and said with a smile:

"Why didn't you say so earlier when there was such a good thing? I like breweries the most. It's a good business that's sure to make money. Qing啤 (Tsingtao Beer), which was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the early years, made me very envious. Unfortunately, I didn't have the money to invest at the time, and now the stock price has risen a lot."

"..."

Mr. Ma was speechless, feeling that his boss was indeed a lover of alcohol, otherwise why would he hoard so much Maotai wine at such a young age?

Su Yehao asked Linda Yun to contact Assistant Zhuang Wei and arrange for someone to communicate with Harbin Beer Factory as soon as possible. Then he said with emotion:

"It's really hard to guard against. Those multinational companies rely on their money and like to do this kind of business of acquiring breweries and annexing the market. I'm helping to support local enterprises here, and the number of companies I'm investing in is increasing. People outside probably already think I'm crazy and want to get involved in every business."

Mr. Ma hesitated to speak, but finally told the truth:

"Some people may not understand, especially ACB sanitary napkins. There are more people discussing it online."

Su Yehao shrugged helplessly and said, "What do they know? This company has core patent technology. A female employee of KOKO Ventures strongly recommended it. I'm only responsible for the investment."
