Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 323 Pinxixi goes online
September is the golden autumn, which symbolizes a good harvest. The first seed sown by Zhou Dongsheng with great effort has begun to take root and sprout. The long-awaited Pinxixi e-commerce platform has finally made its debut.
In the minds of most people, the domestic e-commerce field has long been a "settled" winner-takes-all situation. However, the Pinxixi platform is like a young man who refuses to believe in evil and rushes in headfirst.
At this moment, obviously no one thinks that an e-commerce project incubated by a game company can have much impact on the "impregnable" e-commerce field.
Even the two traditional e-commerce giants were not aware of this new e-commerce platform. After all, people at the top of the mountain and people at the foot of the mountain are equally small and difficult to notice in each other's eyes.
However, the launch of Pinxixi will surely be recorded in the history of domestic e-commerce in the future and become a milestone.
Of course, apart from Zhou Dongsheng, no one would be so sure of it, and even Huang Zheng did not dare to say it was 100% certain.
Therefore, when the Pinxixi platform was about to go online, Huang Zheng made a special call to Zhou Dongsheng, informing Zhou Dongsheng of the good news that he was currently the second largest individual shareholder of the company.
In fact, Huang Zheng was feeling a little uneasy, so he went to Zhou Dongsheng to talk and seek comfort.
After all, before this, Zhou Dongsheng's various unique insights (ignorance) and solutions (leisure), as well as the concept of "new social e-commerce" that he pointed out like the finishing touch, all gave Huang Zheng great inspiration.
For Huang Zheng, who has the support of Duan Yongping and is on good terms with bigwigs like Ding Sanshi, if he needs financing, he does have a unique advantage in capital and does not need to accept Zhou Dongsheng's investment.
However, for entrepreneur Huang Zheng, money is secondary. The most important thing is Zhou Dongsheng's like-minded ideas, which won Huang Zheng's resonance.
After all, when Huang Zheng was exploring a new e-commerce model with the "promoting good products" model, even his teacher Duan Yongping had bluntly stated that he was not optimistic about it, but he just continued to support him as always.
The appearance of Zhou Dongsheng and his unique insights were like a guiding light that pierced the fog. His firm recognition made Huang Zheng determined to work with him to explore new e-commerce.
Rather than calling them “investors,” Huang Zheng prefers to call them “fellow travelers,” friends who share the same philosophy as him.
Zhou Dongsheng was extremely excited when he received Huang Zheng’s call. "Promoting good products" can only be regarded as an appetizer. The launch of the Pinxixi platform is just the beginning of the full banquet.
Zhou Dongsheng also successfully entered the game at the right time and got a seat in this Manchu-Han banquet, and the position was very forward.
Although this investment has not yet brought Zhou Dongsheng any returns or profits on paper, the potential profits brought by both Duan Yongping and Ding Sanshi have already benefited Zhou Dongsheng greatly.
What’s more, this is just the beginning, disruptors in the domestic e-commerce field have entered the market!
Zhou Dongsheng took a deep breath to calm his excitement, and then said excitedly: "As soon as Pinxixi goes online, I will definitely be the first to download and experience it."
"Why bother? I'll just send you a link so that you, as a shareholder, can experience it first . You can also give us some suggestions." Huang Zheng said with a smile.
"I was so excited that I forgot this is my own product." Zhou Dongsheng smiled.
Through internal channels, Zhou Dongsheng was the first to download the V1.0 version of Pinduoduo, which makes him the first user of Pinduoduo in a sense. Can this be considered as witnessing history?
At present, the Pinxixi platform is just an empty shell. There are no merchants and naturally no products. Zhou Dongsheng casually browsed the software layout, compared it with his memory, and casually made a few insignificant suggestions.
After satisfying my craving, I closed the interface and sighed, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This road is long and arduous ."
"But as a challenger, we always have to have a legitimate reason. How about just positioning ourselves as the 'leader of social e-commerce' and taking the first step?" Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
“Isn’t the reputation too big? Jingdong, backed by Tenda, and Alibaba, which owns Laiwang, these two e-commerce giants have never given up on the social business.” Huang Zheng said with a smile.
"However, they did not notice the huge lower-tier markets and only wanted to attract users from lower-tier markets by relying on their existing models. We have seized the opportunity based on this alone."
"Once we have completely occupied the lower-tier markets and completed our strategy of 'surrounding the cities from the countryside', the title of leader in social e-commerce will belong to us. We are just calling it out first, and we will naturally deserve the title when the time comes."
Zhou Dongsheng was in high spirits and spoke with great confidence, with a bit of the spirit of "The only heroes in the world are you and me".
Huang Zheng was suddenly refreshed, and his slightly depressed mood was swept away. After drinking this mouthful of chicken soup for the soul, he felt really refreshed.
"I didn't expect that you, an investor, are more confident than me, a founder. So there's no reason for me not to have confidence. It's just that this is about to go online, and I feel a little conflicted..."
Huang Zheng sighed. After all, this was already his third ship exploring the e-commerce field, so it was normal to feel a little hesitant on the eve of the launch.
Sure enough, no matter how powerful a person is, he is still a human being and cannot escape the scope of the seven emotions and six desires, Zhou Dongsheng smiled knowingly and said jokingly.
"I understand. It's like a bride on her wedding night, looking forward to her husband but also afraid that he will mess around, right? Shouldn't Huang understand this better than I do?"
As soon as the joke started, Huang Zheng couldn't help but laugh and scold: "I'm not the bride, how would I know?"
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I still have to do the final confirmation."
"Okay, then let's wish our new social e-commerce Pinxixi a great success. I'll celebrate in advance, but don't slap me in the face when the time comes." Zhou Dongsheng said finally.
After hanging up the phone, Huang Zheng held the phone in thought for a moment, revealed a sincere smile, swept away his dejected look, and then walked out of the office with firm steps.
At the same time, I sighed in my heart, am I getting old? There is no young person who can think positively. I am getting old.
If Zhou Dongsheng knew Huang Zheng's thoughts, he would definitely just laugh it off. No matter how powerful you are, a person like me who hangs on the wall will remain unmoved.
After all, Pinxixi would have been a huge success even without my own app, so if I add my own app to the mix, wouldn’t it be 1+1>2?
This self-confidence gives me the feeling that the two Mas and I together are the richest people in the world.
Of course, Zhou Dongsheng is very familiar with Pinxixi's killer weapons. Although they are disgusting, they are very useful.
This anti-dilution regulation also requires full proof of the value of being a shareholder. Zhou Dongsheng naturally had a plan in mind for this, which was to return Pinxixi's trump card to its original owner.
