Views:

As soon as "Double 11" is over, Taobao announced the transaction volume of "Double 11" at 0:00 on November 12.

Taobao Homepage.

"In 2002, the annual sales of Suning Appliances was more than 6 billion yuan, and the total annual sales of eBay and Dangdang was 4.1 billion yuan, adding up to more than 10 billion yuan. However, on the day of 'Double 11', Taobao only used The daily sales of 12 billion yuan broke the combined annual sales of these two companies in 2002!

This is a miracle, a myth that cannot be replicated!

Taobao has established its own position in China's e-commerce field with its own strength! ! ! "

As soon as this sales data came out, the entire e-commerce world was shocked.

In the hotel, Sun Zhengyi stared blankly at the computer screen, his heart was full of bitterness and powerlessness.

In the middle of the night, the cold surged.

Sun Zhengyi picked up the mobile phone on the table and dialed Li Guoqing's number.

"Mr. Li, I'm so disappointed with the eBay Dangdang website! I've decided, I'm going to divest!"

When Li Guoqing heard this, he was instantly stunned, and he was covered in cold sweat.

"Mr. Sun, now is the most difficult time for eBay Dangdang. You must not withdraw your funds!" Li Guoqing pleaded. Once SoftBank, represented by Masayoshi Son, withdraws its capital, the eBay Dangdang website will not be far from bankruptcy.

"Mr. Li, I have given you many opportunities, but what about the result?" Sun Zhengyi said very dissatisfiedly, "The result is that the website is not getting better every day, and users go to Taobao. Just now, Taobao announced the daily sales of 'Double 11', hehe, you must have seen this news, Mr. Li! On this day alone, Taobao's sales reached 12 billion yuan, almost as much as eBay Dangdang. 3 times the annual sales of the website.”

Sun Zhengyi paused and asked indifferently: "You tell me, what else can you do to make me believe in you!!!"

When Li Guoqing heard the words, he was at a loss for words.

"dudududu..."

At this time, Sun Zhengyi had hung up the phone.

Snapped! ! !

Li Guoqing's mobile phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Li Guoqing himself fell on the sofa, staring at the white ceiling in a daze, murmuring and repeating a sentence: "The eBay Dangdang website is over..."

At 9 a.m. the next day, at the entrance of the Holiday Inn, SoftBank held a press conference. Sun Zhengyi was shiny, dressed in a black suit, and publicized to the media reporters with an expression on his face, "After careful consideration, SoftBank The company has decided to withdraw from the eBay Dangdang website and completely abandon the Chinese e-commerce market!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar!

"Oh, isn't SoftBank very powerful? When I came to China to invest in eBay Dangdang, I swore that I wanted to make eBay Dangdang a Chinese e-commerce giant. How could I be a tortoise?"

"It's no wonder that SoftBank and Masayoshi Son are going to be the tortoises. Who makes Taobao so awesome? The daily sales of 'Double 11' is as high as 12 billion US dollars, which is terrifying!"

"This Japanese businessman is really indifferent. The eBay Dangdang website is useless and immediately abandoned!"

"Well, who said it wasn't..."

"Piao customers are ruthless, and bitches are unjust! No matter how rich the Japanese are, they will not be sincere to Chinese companies. Chinese companies should learn from it!"

"Although businessmen are looking for profits, I still feel very sad to see the eBay Dangdang website being abandoned like this."

"yes."

Sun Zhengyi stood on the stage. He was not tall and his head was a little bald, but his ears were very good. Hearing the voices of the following people, his expression changed, and he suppressed the anger in his heart and ignored the reporters. Their questions, turned around and walked into the hotel.

The eBay Dangdang website has already received an official letter from SoftBank, and the company is bleak, and everyone knows that SoftBank is about to withdraw.

With the withdrawal of SoftBank's investment, other investment companies naturally followed suit, and the eBay Dangdang website was about to go bankrupt.

Li Zetian, who was far away in the United States, had a smile on his face when he heard the news, and immediately said to himself: "Although SoftBank has given up on the eBay Dangdang website, from what I know about Masayoshi Son, the huge Chinese market makes him coveted. Three feet, he will definitely not give up. Hehe, why does the Chinese market need Japanese investment and development? No matter what Masayoshi Son and his SoftBank want to do, they are angry! It is better for Japanese companies to earn money than me. to earn…”

Jingle, Jingle, Jingle!

At this time, the phone rang.

Li Zetian looked at it, and it was the call from Mike Mohan, CEO of Blizzard.

Last year, South Korea's "Legend" swept China's online games, leaving Flamingo in the face. Li Zetian thought about asking Blizzard to develop "World of Warcraft".

"World of Warcraft" is the first online game produced by Blizzard Entertainment. With the plot of the real-time strategy game "Warcraft" produced by the company as the historical background, relying on the historical events and heroes of Warcraft, World of Warcraft has a complete history In the background timeline, players take risks in World of Warcraft, complete quests, new adventures, explore unknown worlds, conquer monsters, and more.

There are more than 11.5 million paid users of World of Warcraft in the world, and it has successfully entered the Guinness Book of World Records. The total number of accounts created in the world has exceeded 100 million, and the number of characters has reached 500 million. A total of 244 countries and regions are playing "Warcraft". The World, and even Antarctica, the Bahamas, Christmas Island, and Tokelau.

In terms of influence and ability to collect money, "Legend" and "World of Warcraft" are not the same!

At this time, Mike Mohan suddenly called, thinking that the world-class online game "World of Warcraft" had been developed.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm Mike Mohan, CEO of Blizzard."

"Hello, Mike Mohan," Li Zetian asked with a smile, "the development of "World of Warcraft" was successful?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, it will be publicly tested in North America at the end of this month."

"Very good, I'm really looking forward to this game! Oh, by the way, pay attention to the development of the Chinese version! And... "

Speaking of this, Li Zetian suddenly thought that in 2016, "World of Warcraft" was adapted into a movie and released, but the box office results were not satisfactory, not to mention the filming problems, only that the movie was postponed until 2016, the popularity of "World of Warcraft" Sharply decreased already. The game is adapted into a movie, and it should also be when the game is the most popular! "World of Warcraft" can completely become a world-class super IP, but the result is unbearable!

From this, Li Zetian suddenly thought of "StarCraft". "StarCraft" was still super popular in 2003. If you want to launch a movie and create a super IP, you must do it as soon as possible. In a few years, the popularity will be gone.

The "life" of a game is actually not long. Generally speaking, it is easier for a movie to become a super IP. The super IPs who have watched the past lives are basically popular all over the world because of movies.

"World of Warcraft" and "StarCraft" are both super classic games. First of all, they already have the basic conditions for becoming a super IP. What's more worth mentioning is that these two games have rich novel stories as the background, IP development Great potential!
