Chapter 237 The rich first lead the rich later [Subscription required]
Starting at around 2011:1 p.m. on January 2, , the Chinese Internet world was once again hit by a wave of hot news. Countless netizens were originally quietly browsing Weibo or playing various games.
The updates from Brother Gaizi’s official Weibo account were pushed to the homepage. At first, many netizens clicked on it and saw the updates in English, including Brother Gaizi’s profile picture which was also his own photo.
I can't understand English, but I occasionally feel that this white guy looks familiar... I seem to have seen him somewhere before? The first batch of netizens were still confused, and when they refreshed the page, they found that there were hundreds of replies to Brother Gai's post? When they refreshed the page again, there were thousands of replies and comments? ?
Oh my god, when I clicked it, I was stunned.
"Fuck, Brother Gaizi has a Weibo account? He opened a mainland China Weibo account and it's officially certified? Is this true?"
"Is this really Brother Gaizi? Even though Mr. Wang revealed that he was a second-generation superstar, he was still the second richest man in the world in 2010 with a fortune of 530 billion US dollars."
"Brother Gaizi is using a Spark phone? Look at the little tail, it's really a Spark phone, am I seeing things?"
"Reply to the above post. Are you seeing things? Brother Gaizi not only uses a Spark 1 phone, he also personally said that the Spark phone is pretty good. Is this advertising for Mr. Wang?"
"How much does this advertisement cost? I want to invite Brother Gaizi, who has been in business for more than ten years and was the second richest man in the world last year, to do the advertisement. How much would it cost?"
…………
Countless netizens responded, commented, and interacted with each other in amusement. Finally, someone who was good at English translated Brother Gaizi's full text, and then...
Hot search exploded!
The first was that Brother Gaizi opened the Xinghuo Weibo certification, followed by Brother Gaizi’s attempt to buy 30% of Weibo for 10 billion US dollars but was rejected. Isn’t this equivalent to certifying that the market value of Xinghuo Weibo is more than 2000 billion yuan?
Spark WeChat has more than 2000 billion RMB, and this one has another billion? The second most searched question is how much money does Wang Chengguang have? !
Next up is Spark Group. How much assets does he have? Is he the richest Chinese? In the 2010 Forbes list, Hong Kong's Li was only worth US$210 billion and ranked as the richest Chinese.
Many netizens thought it was ridiculous to say that it was only 210 billion US dollars. When did a wage earner with a monthly salary of one or two thousand dollars use the word "only" to describe 210 billion US dollars? But based on Brother Gai's Weibo post, it is clear that Wang Chengguang's Spark Group seems to be much richer than Lao Li's Cheung Kong Group?
The hot search list was detonated one by one.
Gu Jingjing @盖哥互動's Weibo post came, briefly listing the 15 employees of Zhengzhou Xinghuo Mobile Phone Factory. Their annual base salary alone is over 50 billion RMB, and they get double the salary for various overtime shifts, as well as five insurances and one housing fund...
Xinghuo mobile phones are also being sold at a loss. It is unknown when this platform will be able to stop the losses and recover.
The various emotions that were brewing among countless netizens suddenly stopped, and countless people began to complain again, saying, "Is the Spark Mobile Phone Factory really doing this? Paying a salary of 50 billion yuan a year? This is too outrageous."
However, this is a very simple math problem. There are 15 people, and the minimum base salary is 2000 yuan per person, which means 3 million yuan a month, and 12 billion yuan in 36 months. But for those who work night shifts for a long time, your base salary for a month on night shifts is 4000 yuan, plus five insurances and one fund.
Gu Jingjing posted again the official statistics of the average wage in Beijing in 2010, which was 50415 yuan. Those who work the eight-hour night shift at the Zhengzhou mobile phone factory can easily break this average wage in a year. On non-weekends and holidays, the base salary is 4000 yuan, and 12 yuan in 48000 months. However, if you work on holidays and important festivals, you can get three to five times the daily salary.
According to official statistics, the average annual salary of employees in non-private enterprises in Zhengzhou is only over 35000 yuan.
This is a rotation job involving tens of thousands of people... and if you can become a squad leader or a group leader, you will receive special treatment.
If this is the case for a worker at the Xinghuo mobile phone factory, what about the Xinghuo Weibo, payment, WeChat and other platforms headquartered in Beijing? This includes investments in various R&D centers.
Countless netizens were dizzy, but they had to admit that Wang Chengguang, who became rich first, was really leading many people to become rich together, and he was really willing to spend money.
If he is willing to spend money like this, then there will be no problem even if it is revealed at the beginning of the year that Wang Chengguang may be the undisputed richest man in mainland China in 2011.
The richest man is making a loss of 800 yuan for each mobile phone, subsidizing the entire network and the people. He himself is willing to take the lead in losing this money. What else can he say? Wait to buy the Spark mobile phone!
Apple phone fans were speechless at this time. The publicly certified world's second richest man, Brother Gaizi, held the Spark phone and said it was easy to use. Yes, Brother Gaizi's net worth is more than 3000 billion yuan.
Such a person said that Xinghuo is good. Who are you and how much money do you have to show off an iPhone 4? ?
From September last year to now, Apple mobile phones have sold nearly one million units in the mainland. At the price of 9 per unit, the sales volume is 4999 billion. But compared with the interaction between Brother Gaizi and Xinghuo, this thing has no value or significance.
The topic was heated up until the evening, and a new top search came out on the Internet, which was how many people had become rich since Wang Chengguang's rise.
Shi Xiaomeng took the lead, smiling and posting a family photo of his family of three on Weibo. His daughter Shi Lin is almost eight months old. "Since I met Mr. Wang in the summer of 07, it has definitely been the biggest opportunity and chance of my life."
"My daughter and I are just an ordinary couple from Yunnan Province. We moved to Beijing and became billionaires after more than three years with the help of Mr. Wang. There's really not much to say. Mr. Wang is the adopted parent of our family of three."
Starting with Shi Xiaomeng, the earliest Internet celebrities such as Wu Di, Fei Si, Yang Tao, Lin Xia, Yang Zixi, etc., also stated one by one that they are all becoming billionaires, or multi-millionaires, etc.
Don’t worry about how many houses these earliest Internet celebrities bought during the real estate winter, and how many tens of millions are they worth now? They just bought Microsoft stocks, Penguin stocks, and even copied Moutai...
After one opportunity after another, there is no one whose net worth is less than tens of millions. Their resumes are too clear and intuitive. They are basically college graduates or those who are about to graduate and join Xinghuo. In just a few years, they earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, start a family and realize the pinnacle of their dreams.
When the vice presidents of the Xinghuo Weibo department came out, they expressed their desire to get 10% of the shares in the option pool. That was certified by Brother Gaizi, and 10% was equal to 200 billion RMB worth of shares!
If you can get 1% of the shares, you will be a billionaire! ! 20% is still million!
Add Spark Payment and Spark WeChat, how many billionaires can this series of enterprise architectures create? Dozens, hundreds? ? Thousands?
grass……
It's only the New Year's Day holiday, and I don't know how many managers and key personnel in large companies want to change jobs. In terms of the concept of the rich leading the poor to become rich, Wang Chengguang can be regarded as a god in early 2011.
Shi Xiaomeng was not the only one who looked at Mr. Wang with the attitude of a second parent. The entire network wanted to fight for the opportunity like this at this moment.
………………
At about 2: p.m. on the nd, at the Shanghai headquarters of Ele.me, Jack Ma walked into an office and waved to his supervisor, "Have you figured out the statistics?"
The supervisor nodded immediately, "There is a result, but..."
Jack Ma waited without saying anything. The other party said awkwardly, "According to statistics, in December 2010, more than 12% of our 2000 million Ele.me consumers used the Spark Payment APP to place orders, including supermarket purchases." "I feel that this trend may expand. Many netizens are bringing about a trend of shopping around. At least on the Weibo platform, it still has a certain momentum."
Jack Ma almost vomited blood. He started to move to new platforms and new fields after the Spring Festival in 10 and worked hard for a year. 2000 million users is really a very large group.
Taking 2000% of the 600 million as an example, there are 15 million users who frequently use Ele.me to order food, with each person spending an average of yuan every two days, and a total consumption of to billion yuan per month.
Adding the accumulated number of other less frequent consumer users, the total scale could reach 20 billion.
About 20 billion RMB is flowing in a month, to billion RMB a year? ? This is definitely a huge gold mine. The problem is that Ele.me is now held hostage by Spark Payment.
Xinghuo Payment, Ele.me, JD Running and JD Mall all have their own app clients, and the download volume on mobile phones is also good.
According to official statistics obtained by Jack Ma, by the end of 10, there will be more than 3 million users who have purchased smartphones and activated 7000G signals.
This is not to say that Meizu M8, Spark 1 and Aipao 4 have sold a total of more than 7000 million units, which is far from that exaggerated. Meizu M8 has only sold more than 200 million units, Spark more than 90 units, and Aipao 4 is just striving for one million units.
This started in 2009, when Gionee launched small-screen and half-screen smartphones with physical key keyboards occupying a large area of the body. Gionee, OPPO, and of course Samsung also have them.
Even if you have a small-screen or half-screen smartphone, or an iPhone 3GS, you can still use your phone to order and buy food.
Such a huge user group... Damn, after a year of hard work, more than 70% of them use the Xinghuo payment app for consumption. Isn't this equivalent to being kidnapped by Xinghuo payment invisibly? Users download the Ele.me client, but don't use it much.
Not to mention that you use Spark Payment or QQ for payment transactions, even the app doesn’t use yours. How can you continue to develop happily?
Even if Ele.me seeks financing and wants to go public in the future, such user choices will have a significant impact on your market value.
I guess the outside world will suspect that Ele.me, JD Running and JD Mall are all subsidiaries of Xinghuo Payment!
Taking a deep breath, Jack Ma lit a cigarette and said, "Please help me make an appointment with Mr. Liu from JD. He should have understood it a long time ago."
But at this stage, it’s not a question of understanding or not, it’s a question of the platform! As long as they don’t have their own payment, they must use Spark and Big Penguin.
The technical director looked confused and bewildered because he didn't have Mr. Liu's contact information.
Jack Ma took another puff of his cigarette and complained, "Just ignore what I said and keep busy."
After he turned and left, a certain supervisor scratched his head in frustration and returned to the office. He really wanted to ask if he could get five times the salary for working overtime or night shift on New Year's Day. It was the same for other people in the Spark Department.
Jack Ma looked so unhappy that he was a little afraid to ask.
………………
After a while, Jack Ma was sitting in the CEO's office, thinking about something. His secretary came and said weakly, "CEO Ma, CEO Liu from JD.com said he is busy..."
Jack Ma slammed the table, "This guy is determined to be Wang and Penguin Pony's little brother."
He guessed that JD's Xiao Liu did not understand everything today, but he had been positioning himself as a younger brother since the first day he invited Xinghuo and Big Penguin to invest in JD.
But in the face of Jack's invitation, the other party was not available? ! Fuck.
Another problem is that Renda Adong has its own logistics system, its own warehousing center, etc. Among Internet stores, at least the flagship store and its own-operated store can guarantee the quality of the goods.
It can only be said that Renmin University Adong has his own independent kingdom and is backed by two giant platforms, Spark and Penguin.
After cursing, Jack said again, "Please help me make an appointment with Robin Lee from Baidu. I don't believe that he doesn't want to get involved in the payment side of such a big platform."
He now only wants to find an opportunity to make Ele.me independent, instead of being kidnapped by Xinghuo. He wants to promote the "separation of Ele.me registered merchants, registered users and JD Running Errands". Those who want to register with Ele.me dare not even mention it as they can no longer use the JD Running Errands strategy.
Only by going global can Ele.me have new opportunities to take advantage of old customers. Big algorithms and big data will gradually optimize the delivery efficiency of the riders. After forming the advantage of a large platform, Ele.me will achieve huge profits by taking advantage of restaurants, consumers, and riders.
If he fails to achieve the triple kill grand slam as a platform, it will have a significant impact on the market value of Ele.me and his personal wealth.
How can you make huge profits if you don’t learn from Foxconn and Cao Glass in real physical manufacturing? How can you become a super capital if you don’t learn the Grand Slam of Internet?
But Spark Payment bundles JD Running Errands and Ele.me together in the payment app. Any consumer can compare the two at will. In the same real restaurant, for the same dish, the price of Ele.me is one yuan higher than that of JD Running Errands?? There is something wrong with this.
………………
January 1th is the second day of the twelfth lunar month.
Wang Chengguang was still taking a morning swim in the Wang family villa when Da Miaomiao, who was wearing fashionable sportswear, came over and said, "Brother Guang, Lei Jun said he just returned to Beijing and wanted to visit you."
Wang Chengguang laughed and nodded, "Let him come. He is probably here to boost mobile phone sales and kill a large number of popular games such as Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja. Brother Gaizi's promotion for us can easily affect the morale of the troops."
At this stage, after experiencing the mutual commercial praise between Brother Gaizi and Lao Qiao's road to becoming a god, at least all the group departments of the Spark Group have higher morale than each other.
Countless people are thinking, as each group goes public, hundreds or even more billionaires will be created? Am I one of them?
Even if you are a low-level intern who dares not even dream of getting shares in the option pool, you can still get double or several times the salary for working overtime.
With the capacity to manufacture one million mobile phones per month starting in January, selling tens of millions of phones in 2011 is not a dream. With a huge platform advantage formed and the start of reaping the benefits from game developers of all sizes, Spark Mobile is also a large company with great potential.
Brother Gaizi’s post on the Xinghuo Weibo was reposted on Twitter, which also caused a sensation in Europe and the United States, and also made countless consumers aware of the Xinghuo mobile phone.
The plan is to make a profit of 2700 to 2900 yuan for each Spark phone sold overseas, so there is no loss. The total cost is yuan, and it is sold for yuan. Even if the profit is small, it can still be a small profit but a large volume of sales.
