63. Chapter 63 Surprised for the first time(2/2)
It doesn’t matter if you can’t sell the remaining 100,000 pieces. Just donate them and you can apply for deductions on your tax return at the end of the year. Although it’s not much, mosquito legs are still meat.
"How did she do it?"
Jin Shang asked curiously, and Jin Shi replied with a complicated expression:
"I just made a few phone calls, negotiated the price with the buyer, and then prepared to ship the goods. I only found out about it at noon today. I thought you knew it already..."
In fact, to put it bluntly, it’s not complicated. Li Xuan used Jinxi Culture’s account to log into the Yellow Pages advertisements, found the contact information of several companies related to the clothing trade, and directly connected to them. She didn’t know that it was just luck, but she happened to meet them.
Party A was in need, or Li Xuan had outstanding negotiation skills, so he quickly transferred it to the sales department of the garment factory and sold it smoothly.
"It's such a child's play. I don't even know how we got here before. We worked hard to build relationships and give gifts, endured blackmail from others, drank at the table, and even sent us to the hospital for gastric effusion. The business may not be successful. But now, it's just
this?"
Lao Jin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"This world seems to have become a little strange."
"It's normal!"
Jin Shang filled his father's half-empty glass with ice-cold draft beer, and then explained,
"The way we discussed business in the past was, in the final analysis, still within the circle of contacts. After the birth of the Internet, the situation has changed. You can easily deal with companies and individuals across the country or even the world, and the barriers of space will no longer exist.
will be an obstacle.”
"Then... is the old-fashioned acquaintance society outdated?"
Jin Shang shook his head and replied in a slightly lower voice:
"It's still useful! But it's no longer the petty and petty way it used to be. Take the matter at hand as an example, do you think Li Xuan's contribution is greater, or the Yellow Pages' contribution..."
Instantly, Jin Shi remembered the first business deal he negotiated after his son started his own business, which was to spend money to cooperate with Sanshui Network for advertising.
At that time, Lao Jin didn't take it seriously. The long list of promotional slogans seemed unreliable.
"Companies need to be promoted, products need to be promoted, stores need to be promoted, and press releases need to be released. The Yellow Pages website can solve these problems for you."
Now it seems that I am the clown.
In the past, when two companies were discussing business, they had to first understand each other's origins, then find a trustee to find a relationship, hire an acquaintance as an intermediary, and only after several invitations to dinner, would they sit down together and talk about business.
Bosses who are busy all day long don't really care about a few big meals and a glass of good wine, but the process of getting to know each other is so troublesome.
You are not sure about the sincerity of the other party's cooperation, and the other party also doubts whether you are a liar.
Without capable brokers, it will be difficult to do business.
Among them, the cost of manpower, material resources and time is really too great.
Now, there is a Yellow Pages website that transcends the barriers of time and geography and brings everyone together. The intermediate process can be simplified a lot.
"Do you know why I want to work hard in the Internet industry? There are huge benefits hidden here, and it contains the power to change the current social form. Since we have this opportunity, it would be a pity not to take a share of the pie."
After listening to his son's words, Jin Shi nodded in agreement:
"Then this Yellow Pages is of great value. Others can do it, why don't you do it?"
"It's not the right time! Some people are jealous of this little benefit. Beijing Telecom just let it go and wanted to make a Yellow Pages. Sun Daqi had to sell it at a low price."
In essence, the Yellow Pages is a business-to-business (B2B) business website, which is actually only one step away from typical e-commerce.
At present, it is just an information platform for enterprises to advertise. It does not have complete information on supply, purchase, processing, agency franchise, business services, exhibitions and other information. It has to rely on each company that is interested in cooperation to negotiate on its own.
The foundation for leaping from an advertising platform to an e-commerce platform is not yet in place, so Jin Shang is not very interested in the Yellow Pages. It doesn’t matter how much Sun Daqi does, but if he has more experience in the field of foreign trade and economics, will he be able to become a cross-border business owner?
Thoughts on e-commerce platforms?
In fact, do your foreign peers who are one step ahead already have similar companies?
"Dad, don't worry, I've thought of this a long time ago. The portal website is the 'Juyi Hall' where I became famous. If I really want to dominate, I have to control at least one 'fighting ground' for Internet e-commerce.
The concept is too advanced now, whoever touches it will die, even the gold and silver mountains are not enough to waste.
Therefore, my idea is to use the portal website to compete for traffic, cover instant messaging, secretly build a "circle of friends", and once the relationship network is stable, I will be invincible.
Do you still remember what I said, that the small circles of the past cannot grasp the big era of the future? Because the online communication method will destroy the closed circles of the past.
It’s not here anymore.”
