Chapter 324 Hello, Senior Brother Liu

With Zhao Kang and Muye Technology, Li Mu registered a new company called Storm Entertainment with a 6:2:2 equity model. Li Mu accounted for 60%. The reason for such a name was not because Li Mu wanted to imitate Storm Video. Instead, pay tribute to Blizzard in its own way.

Li Mu has high respect and belief in this company that has created top games such as Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo, and World of Warcraft. It is inappropriate to directly call Blizzard, then call it Blizzard, maybe it will be true in the future. Can do the combination of storm and blizzard.

Lin Qingya and Korea Netchan quickly got on the line. The two parties agreed to hold a formal business meeting at the end of the month. Lin Qingya took the team to South Korea and talked with Netzen about the agency rights of "Miracle Mu". Before leaving, Lin Qingya also helped Li Mu lead another line. She and Li Mu's common senior brother, Liu Yingdong, who was still in the CD business, took the initiative to find Lin Qingya and wanted to meet Li Mu.

Lin Qingya conveyed to Li Mu the intention of Senior Brother Liu to meet. Judging from the tone of her voice, it seemed that Senior Brother Liu was looking forward to meeting her.

Naturally, Li Mu couldn't miss such a good opportunity to get to know the great man, especially when the great man hadn't really grown up, so he readily agreed.

So, just one day before Lin Qingya set off for South Korea, Li Mu and Senior Brother Liu sat face to face for the first time under her arrangement.

In Li Mu's impression, he had met Brother Liu at least three or four times. Except for the last time at the party, everything else was from a previous life. When he came to Yanjing to work as a code farmer, he once worshipped him for a period of time. , I went to listen to his two lectures. Later, because of work, I was invited to participate in a Jingdong supplier conference. Brother Liu also gave a speech at the conference.

However, it was indeed an unprecedented first time for the two of them to sit face to face at a dining table.

Moreover, what surprised Li Mu was that he had been restraining himself so that he would not show excitement in front of Senior Brother Liu, but Senior Brother Liu couldn't hide his excitement and excitement in front of him. From his eyes, I saw a bit of respect.

Although Senior Brother Liu is several years older than Li Mu and several years older than him, his mentality is really extremely humble in this meeting. There is no other reason. Li Mu's current achievements are far ahead of him, and his future achievements are his. He didn't know it at all, so in his eyes, the junior brother in front of him didn't know how many times more powerful than him, and in front of him, he asked for advice humbly.

With Lin Qingya introducing each other in the middle, Li Mu and Senior Brother Liu quickly got to know each other. Li Mu took a glass of beer and said to him, "Brother Qiang, I'll give you a toast."

Brother Liu hurriedly picked up his wine glass with one hand and the bottom of Li Mu's glass with the other hand, and said modestly, "Don't dare to dare, I respect you!"

said,

Senior Brother Liu held Li Mu's wine glass high, his own wine glass was lowered, tilted the top of the glass to clink with Li Mu, and the top of the glass was always one or two centimeters lower than Li Mu's.

Li Mu said, "Brother Qiang, you are my senior brother. If you still see things like this with me, then you can't justify it. I'm so much younger than you, aren't you killing me?"

Senior Brother Liu hurriedly said, "I should have done it. I have heard of your outstanding performance in the Internet field. I asked Qingya to help you eat dinner today. I also want to learn from you and gain some relevant experience."

In Li Mu's memory, Brother Liu used his programming skills to earn his first pot of gold when he was in school. It can be said that he was the first group of people in China who had access to the technical level of the Internet. Alima, who understands what the Internet is all about, entered the industry early, and the first time he entered the industry is technical, so it can be said that the foundation is quite good.

Therefore, as soon as he said that he wanted to learn from himself, Li Mu was quite ashamed, and he said humbly that his understanding of the Internet was not very good, but Brother Liu had already started when he was in college. Using the Internet to make money, entry is much earlier than yourself.

Brother Liu shook his head again and again and sighed: "I was just out of personal hobby, so I taught myself a little programming technology, but later I found that relying on technology to mix in the Internet field, there has not been much development, so I changed careers. To make recorders and discs, it is still mediocre.”

Li Mu smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Qiang, you have opened several stores now, so the revenue should already have a certain scale, right?"

Senior Brother Liu said with a wry smile: "You better stop calling me Brother Qiang. If you don't have any objections, just call me Senior Brother, it sounds kind."

Li Mu nodded, and Senior Brother Liu added: "The real economy doesn't have much profit margins, whether it is in Zhongguancun or electronic cities in other cities. , I originally thought that this business is not bad, but after seeing the rise of Muye Technology with my own eyes, I found that what I am doing now is not a business at all, it is a business of buying low and selling high, so I am also very I want to try the Internet, but seriously, I only understand the basics of the Internet. I don’t know anything about the real business model, products, users, and operations, so I want to get to know you. If there is a chance in the future, I will follow You learn some lessons."

Li Mu then said, "Senior brother, if you have any ideas about the Internet, we can communicate with each other. We can't talk about learning. Maybe the business model you suddenly burst out is better than what I'm doing now."

Brother Liu smiled slightly, and his impression of Li Mu got a little better. He said with a smile, "Actually, I've been thinking about it these days. I have a rough business model, which is still very immature..."

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's alright, just tell me, and I'll help you with the staff."

Senior Brother Liu said: "Then let me talk about it, you see, what I do now is mainly optical and magnetic products, a large part of my sales are consumables, and a considerable part is from old customers, new customers' expansion capabilities It's too weak, I want to try it out, can I sell my opto-magnetic sales on the online platform? Let's start with local Yanjing. Users in Yanjing order online. After I receive the order information, I will arrange a special person to deliver the items. The goods are delivered to the door, and then the payment is received."

Li Mu was stunned, isn't this the first prototype of JD.com's B2C e-commerce business? However, the reason why JD.com transformed into B2C in the last life was actually because of **, the sharp drop in passenger flow and sales, forcing Liu Qidong to move the sales of opto-magnetic products online to make up for the ** brought about by ** Influence, it was also from that time that he gradually built JD.com. First, it was opto-magnetic, then it was the computer hardware and 3C home appliances that have been popular all the time, and then it was the fully blooming JD.com in the future.

It stands to reason that Liu Yingdong has this idea. The trigger condition must be the ** in 2003. How can it be triggered at the beginning of 2002 now?

Li Mu thought about it, the reason could only be himself.

It is also possible that Liu Yingdong was thriving and satisfied in the opto-magnetic business. If it hadn't been driven to the brink of death by the ** in 2003, he would not have started to innovate in e-commerce, but now he suddenly has a junior of his own. A boy under 20 started an Internet company and made two ace-level products that swept the country. The value was hundreds of millions in just half a year. This reality deeply touched him and made him start to abandon his own. Satisfied, let him start to seek greater breakthroughs, and finally let him think of the idea of ​​e-commerce more than a year ahead of schedule.

After thinking about this level, Li Mu excitedly wanted to pat the table.

Nothing else, Liu Rongdong's idea of ​​using the Internet in advance is because of himself, and this is a good time for him to fool him.

So, Li Mu pondered and said, "Senior brother, to be honest, your project is going in the direction of heavy assets as soon as you start your project, it's not optimistic!"

Brother Liu asked him curiously: "Heavy assets? How do you say it?"

Li Mu snapped his fingers and said item by item: "Look, you want to do online e-commerce, it's not a big problem, it's enough to invest in product development, but you also need to sell and deliver by yourself, in this case, you You have to have your own warehousing and distribution system. You are in a physical business, and you should have your own ready-made warehousing. I will not count this, but let’s talk about distribution, just in a place as big as Yanjing, you Do you have to prepare a delivery team of at least a dozen people? How much is the salary? In order to ensure speed and efficiency, the delivery team must have a motor vehicle? Is it enough to buy one truck? How many motorcycles do I need to buy? To start working, you have to invest so much money first, which is what I call the direction of heavy assets.”

When Brother Liu heard this, his expression immediately became a little bitter.

When people are in good times, there is a world of difference from the mentality of people in adversity. The problems that Li Mu said, Liu Yingdong now sounds really serious, and the risks are very high, but Liu Yingdong in 2003 had no choice. , can only sink the boat, but now he simply does not have the determination to sink the boat.

So, Senior Brother Liu asked Li Mu embarrassedly, "Then what do you say? Entrust the delivery to the post office?"

The current express delivery industry is still very backward. Whether it is Shentong or SF Express, they can only form a small-scale logistics and transportation network in a small area in China. Except for the post office, no one can achieve a national scale, so now everyone thinks of express delivery. The only thing that comes to mind is the post office.

Li Mu spoke again and said, "The cost of the post office is not cheap. Surface mail is cheap but the timeliness is too slow. Users will definitely not be able to accept it. However, the express delivery speed is increasing, and the price is higher. Money? However, the courier fee for ten CDs may be several dollars. Can users be willing to pay for these several dollars?”

Li Mu's words, if he waited for a few years to say, would be regarded as a fool, but speaking now, it is indeed a thought-provoking question.

Senior Brother Liu lowered his eyelids and sighed, "It seems that this road will not work!" (To be continued.)
