All the technical staff of Letao were originally excited and high-spirited, but due to the sudden watermark logo of Taobao, earth-shaking changes took place, and they fell from the clouds into the mud in an instant.
Lu Zhaoxi was already waiting for the good news that all collections were successful, but suddenly he received the news that Taobao added a watermark logo. He was so surprised that he immediately opened Taobao, found a product at random, and opened it. As soon as he entered the details page, Lu Zhaoxi Teruki's heart immediately went cold.
This feeling is like a bunch of stupid thieves preparing to drive trucks, loaders and other equipment to the grain depot to steal grain. However, when they arrive, they find that the grain cannot be moved and loaded into the truck in whole bags, but only one grain at a time. Picked up and taken away by hand, this level of disappointment can be seen.
Lu Zhaoxi realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately got up and rushed to Boss Ma's office. He opened the door and went in. Boss Ma was in a rare good mood and made himself a pot of tea. Seeing Lu Zhaoxi come in, Boss Ma smiled slightly and said, "Zhaoxi, you You're here just in time, come and have a cup of tea."
Boss Ma greeted Lu Zhaoxi and asked him, "Has our collection work started?"
Seeing Boss Ma's relaxed look, Lu Zhaoxi suddenly couldn't bear it.
Lu Zhaoxi has seen Boss Ma's condition during this period of time and knows that he was once in a particularly low mood and that this period of time was also very difficult. Now, Letao has finally found a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation and is ready to push hard. C2C even directly poached small and medium-sized sellers from Taobao. However, he did not expect that Li Mu's method, which he thought was impossible to guard against, was actually cracked by Li Mu, and the crack was so disgusting. Lu Zhaoxi felt depressed, and at the same time I am also worried that Boss Ma’s finally calm heart will be hit again.
Seeing Lu Zhaoxi hesitate to speak, Boss Ma also sensed something amiss in his heart and asked him hurriedly: "What? What happened again?"
The word "again" sounds particularly helpless.
From the day Boss Ma became jealous of Li Mu when he got involved in the retail side of e-commerce, Boss Ma began to dig holes for Li Mu. Every time, he carefully considered and determined to win, but every time something happened, his wish was ruined.
Although this time about stealing chickens from small and medium-sized Taobao sellers, Boss Ma felt that he was sure of it. Even he couldn't think of any way for Li Mu to restrain and control so many sellers scattered around the country. However, seeing Lu Zhaoxi's slumped expression, his heart still pounded. For a moment, I thought to myself: Could it be that Li Mu found a way to break the situation again
Lu Zhaoxi sighed at this time, sat opposite Boss Ma, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Taobao suddenly used technical means to add their watermark logo to all the pictures on the product detail pages. Now every picture has half of it." The transparent white Taobao words and their website link are very disgusting.”
Boss Ma was stunned for a moment, then immediately went to his desk to open the web page and read it. At this glance, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!
Boss Ma, who was ashen-faced, felt a great power surge out of his heart, almost completely converging on his hands, leaving him with only one thought: smash the monitor!
I’m so angry! Boss Ma has provoked Li Mu so many times and been criticized by Li Mu so many times, but he has never been as angry as he is now!
Before today, what made Boss Ma the most angry was that Li Mu sniped at Letao's carefully planned big promotion, but this was because Li Mu was too strong and completely crushed him with his strength. Although he was completely defeated, he had no regrets in his heart. , but what happened today was simply too unacceptable for him!
I intended to quickly recruit a group of Taobao sellers and quickly list a group of stores and products on Letao. I naively thought that Li Mu would rack his brains to consider how to deal with poaching people and how to restrict the cross-platform sellers of his website. Regarding opening a store, what he didn’t expect was that Li Mu completely changed his approach. He didn’t think about the problem as he had speculated. He just thought of the simplest and quite effective way: You don’t want to poach me. person? Okay, I'll let you dig, but I'm going to make it not that easy for you.
Not only did Li Mu's approach completely exceed Boss Ma's thinking and worry, but it was also extremely effective. If Boss Ma was not Li Mu's opponent, if he were a bystander watching how Li Mu broke the situation, he would definitely feel enlightened when he saw this. It feels like another village has a bright future.
Unfortunately, I am not a bystander, but stand on the opposite side of Li Mu, so this absolutely crushes my IQ and makes me feel that my IQ has been greatly insulted...
Lu Zhaoxi saw Boss Ma sitting in front of the computer with a gloomy expression and deep in thought, so he also fell silent.
After a while, Boss Ma said solemnly: "Li Mu is buying time for himself. He used this method to greatly delay our advancement, and then he would have more time to think about countermeasures. Li Mu knew that if If we want to put these products on Letao, the first thing we can be sure of is that we must not keep Taobao’s logo. In this case, there are only two options: one is to process the logo manually, and the other is to give up putting it on the shelves for sellers in batches and let them instead We have to do it ourselves. In short, no matter which method we use, we have lost a fast and efficient way! This guy Li Mu is really too shrewd!"
Having said this, Boss Ma took a deep breath and said: "You see, they are indeed too smart. The position of the logo in each picture is random. Not only is it not uniform, but there is no pattern. In this way, It is impossible for us to block in batches. In terms of efficiency, it has simply degraded from the Internet era to before the industrial revolution... "
Lu Zhaoxi said: "There is no good solution for the logo issue for the time being. If we want to ensure execution, it is impossible to leave it all to the seller. Otherwise, we might as well hire some part-time workers to do manual blocking. Use Use the blur filter of PS software to process the entire watermark logo part.”
Boss Ma gritted his teeth and was silent for a moment, and suddenly said irritably: "I just thought of a question! If we collect product information without watermarks, we will directly put it on the shelves. It can be said that it is a spontaneous behavior of the seller. After all, the seller can sell it on Taobao By uploading one product information, you can upload the same product on Letao. This is understandable; however, if the information we put on the shelves includes blocking the Taobao logo, this means that we will not expose ourselves and make it public to everyone. People in the industry know that we collect product information from Taobao.”
Lu Zhaoxi had previously been thinking about how to deal with Taobao's watermarks, but had not thought of this aspect. When Boss Ma said this, he immediately realized the seriousness of this problem.
Although most companies will use unfair or unethical competition methods, most companies can only use them quietly. If Letao launches a large number of product information that blocks the Taobao logo, it will really slap itself in the face. !
After hesitating again and again, Boss Ma said dejectedly: "At this point, it is basically impossible for us to ensure efficiency. We can only change our approach. You can immediately sort out a group of Taobao Taobao employees with the greatest potential who are willing to cooperate with us. Sellers, and then communicate with them and ask them to provide product picture materials, we will form a part-time team, based on his Taobao store details, match the original picture materials he gave us, and upload each product manually, although it is very efficient. Low, but more people are powerful. If everyone in a part-time team of one to two hundred people can mobilize, I think it will be no problem to put on the shelves 10,000 products a day."
Lu Zhaoxi said in surprise: "Completely upload it manually? That's really going to take a lot of effort..."
"There is no way." Boss Ma said: "The reason why these Taobao sellers agreed to cooperate with us is largely because of our original rhetoric, which was to let them not take care of anything, and we will take care of everything for them. If we break our promise at this time , requiring them to upload product information manually, they will definitely have a big psychological gap. Besides, everyone is lazy. Even if they are willing to do it, it will be difficult for them to immerse themselves in it immediately. It is estimated that it will take ten days. Half a month, we can’t afford to wait so long!”
With that said, Boss Ma added: "So we try to simplify it for them as much as possible. They only need to stuff all the picture materials into a compressed package and send it to us. How will we select a product from many pictures?" The pictures are also done by our part-time team themselves, without adding any extra work to these sellers. Only in this way can we ensure that we will successfully sell tens of thousands of products and hundreds of stores within the next three to five days, and put them on the market. Once the scene is propped up, we will immediately divert traffic to these stores so that other sellers who are still waiting to see the benefits can see the profit potential. Once they feel that it is profitable, they will naturally be willing to take action."
Lu Zhaoxi thought for a while, nodded slightly, and sighed: "It seems that this is the only way, but in this case, all the work done by our technical department these days will basically be wasted, right? I’m afraid everyone’s enthusiasm will bring a big blow.”
Boss Ma frowned and said: "The more times like this, the more important you have to play the role of a leader. The opponent is very powerful, and the opponent also made us spend a lot of useless efforts and take many detours, but the more this happens, The less we can be decadent, the more we should form an impulse of revenge in the team's heart, share the same hatred of the enemy, mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, and let everyone unleash greater potential to compete with our opponents!"
Lu Zhaoxi immediately became serious and said continuously: "Mr. Ma, I understand. Don't worry, I will implement it well."
Boss Ma's expression became a little better, he nodded, sighed again, and said, "What I'm most worried about right now is that I don't know what other big moves Li Mu is planning to use to delay time..."
