Chapter 183 Corporate Social Responsibility (Please subscribe! Please ask for a monthly pass!)
After listening to Ouyang Dehe's sincere speech, everyone couldn't help but think about whether they would continue to invest for the so-called sense of social responsibility when they were not making any money. The purpose of developing the company is simply to create more jobs and allow more people to have a stable job and a stable income.

The answer for many people is no. If you don’t make money, or even lose money, no one will be willing to stick to it, let alone continue to invest money to make the company bigger.

However, is the company really not making much money as he said?No one really believes it in their hearts.

Even if it doesn't make money, it's probably temporary. When the company grows bigger and stable, it doesn't need any investment anymore, and it's impossible to have no income in the future.

But there is one person who is still willing to believe this fact, and that is the white Li Yanhong.

After all, he is also working on a food delivery platform. Although his Baidu Food Delivery has developed more slowly than Eat What, the scale is not small. As for how much money he has earned, he may only smile bitterly in his heart.

Since it is an Internet conference, of course it is impossible for Ouyang Dehe to speak on stage alone, so everyone also came on stage and expressed their views and insights.

After Ouyang Dehe finished his speech, Ma Wen went up to express his views without hesitation.

"Our Taobao company may be the earliest pioneer in the development of the Internet economy among the companies present, but in fact, the development started relatively late. In the C2C market before that, Yiqu.com can be said to be the earliest company. , with unchallenged authority."

"In order to break the siege of Yiqu, we insisted on providing free services to merchants and consumers, and finally broke through the siege and gained a place in the C2C market."

"We looked for financing everywhere, and we almost couldn't hold on a few times. At that time, it was impossible for banks to lend us money for development."

"When I paid attention to Xinghe, I found that Xinghe seemed to be copying our Taobao development model."

"But I soon discovered that it was not the case. Xinghe took a development path that was similar to Taobao but very different."

"If our main focus is the C2C market and catering to the whole country, StarHub's main focus is the B2C market and we will go our own way step by step."

"Start from the market in Shenchuan City, and then expand to the Pearl River Delta region, accumulate managers, attract investment, and then develop rapidly across the country."

"The more I study and understand StarHub, the more I admire the founder of StarHub, Chairman Ouyang Dehe."

"It is said that the birth of StarHub Network Technology Company was just the wife of Chairman Ouyang. After listening to Chairman Ouyang's views on the Internet economy, she invested 300 million and registered a company, recruiting more than a dozen network technicians. personnel, formed an Internet technology team, and created it through fumbling."

"The situation at the time was that Chairman Ouyang's wife didn't have much money to spend on publicity, so she went online casually."

"In 200, the annual transaction volume was only about [-] million! And this transaction volume is only the transaction volume of merchandise sold by merchants on the website. StarHub provides the service for free. In itself, you will not get a penny of benefits.”

"So in the first year and the whole of 300, StarHub Network Technology Co., Ltd. didn't make a penny of profit. It also invested 500 million yuan, plus the salary paid to the technical team, and rented servers. The rent is definitely more than [-] million."

"Under such circumstances, I'm afraid I can't support it!" Marvin said self-deprecatingly.

"In 2, Xinghe Company started the B[-]C market, and it was positioned in Fukagawa City. Not only that, it was also limited to the Kannei urban area of ​​Fukagawa City. The customer group was positioned as white-collar workers in the company's office buildings, and It is convenient for households with computers and Internet access to provide instant delivery services for the main customer group.”

“Basically, when customers enter StarHub Mall on their computers, it’s like visiting a supermarket. After they’ve selected the goods and placed the order and paid for it, they basically place an order in the morning, receive the goods in the afternoon, and place an order in the afternoon. , the goods can be received in the evening at the earliest, and tomorrow morning at the latest, claiming that the goods will be delivered to the customer within 24 hours."

"It was this kind of service that finally opened up the situation and made the company start to realize profits."

"In the end, it grew bigger and bigger, and even Li Zhekai, the little superman of Xiangjiang, wanted to invest in Xinghe Company."

"I said this just to tell everyone that the Internet economy needs to be done well in the early stage of entrepreneurship. Within a few years, there will be only pay and no return, and it needs continuous investment, but it may not succeed."

"For example, Li Zhekai, the little superman of Xiangjiang, founded Zheduoduo. Although he had strong funds, due to his non-compliance with industry rules and unfair competition, he ultimately ruined Zheduoduo and lost a lot of money. He returned to Xiangjiang in embarrassment."

"If we want to survive, we need continuous innovation, and we need to unite as one, instead of viciously competing with each other, and we will only suffer losses."

"Only by supporting each other and taking the path of common development can we go further."

"So on behalf of Taobao Company, I am willing to invest 15 billion yuan in Eatme, and welcome Eateme to enter the Taobao.com platform for free, so that customers can directly order food through Taobao.com, and use Taofubao to pay. .”

Tao Bao Company wanted to invest 15 billion yuan as soon as it opened its mouth. Did you eat the investment? It can be said that it has strong financial resources, which surprised everyone.

After all, as Ouyang Dehe said just now, what to eat is not a very profitable business, and investing 15 billion yuan at once may be a bit too much.

The third person to play is Ma Huateng from Penguin Company. The recent performance of Penguin Company is obvious to all. It has achieved very good profits in game development.

At the same time, on the Xiangjiang stock market, Penguin's stock has been rising again and again, with a market value of more than 500 billion, which is not far from the market value of 3000 billion.

"Our Penguin company is mainly engaged in social software, and at the same time, we have also achieved certain development in the field of games."

"I agree with Chairman Ouyang's point of view. Internet companies should take a diversified development path. For this, our Penguin company is also actively testing the water in many fields. For example, we launched Baibai.com, which is in the C2C market. It was an attempt last time." Ma Huateng said.

"For Eat Me, our Penguin company, including myself, are very optimistic about Eat Me's future development."

"And I personally appreciate that Chairman Ouyang's words are called corporate social responsibility. For this sense of social responsibility, even if you lose a little money, you must continue to do it and make it bigger."

"So on behalf of Penguin, I am willing to invest 20 billion. Together with Chairman Ouyang, we will make Eat Me bigger and stronger and create more jobs. Even if it is not profitable, it is still worth it."
