Rebirth of the Evil Life

In August 1999, two Harvard Business School graduates, Shao Yibo and Tan Haiyin, founded eBay in Shanghai, China.

In January 2000, according to the results of CNNIC's fifth "Statistical Survey on Internet Development in China": eBay ranked first among domestic auction sites in the number of votes, and eBay became the most popular auction site in China.

In July 2000, eBay launched a personal online shop service.

This is not the information in Lin Feng's mind, but the information found on the Internet. After reviewing several offices that Cheng Peijia found, Lin Feng, who had nothing to do, made a decision and settled on a 120-square-meter residential house. After entrusting a decoration company to carry out the decoration, under the supervision of Cheng Peijia, Lin Feng sat in front of the computer for the first time in half a year.

As soon as I went online, I found out that eBay launched a personal online store service.

eBay, once the No.1 of China's online transactions, unfortunately was later surpassed by Taobao because of scandals such as leaking customer information and fraudulent credit rating, and the latter finally became the No.1 of China's online transactions, accounting for China's online transactions. 80% of the trading market share. It is said that there are millions of transactions per day, with a cumulative amount of 400 million yuan.

By the way, I can open a personal online store to promote my upcoming Chinese version of "CS Counter-Strike". ——Lin Feng snapped his fingers.

Apply for an account, create a user name, upload a copy of the ID card, and then wait for the review.

However, eBay only provides a trading platform at this time. After the two parties reach a preliminary transaction online, they need to contact each other offline to determine the payment method of each other. This is a test of character. If you have a good character, you can buy high-quality and cheap products; if you are not good, it’s not bad to give you a defective product.

For online transactions at this time, since Alipay and other third-party transaction credit platforms have not yet been launched, there is no guarantee in terms of integrity system and security.

Perhaps I can also build an online trading platform now. With the future trend of eBay, it will definitely surpass it and become the NO.1 online trading platform in China. —— Lin Feng silently calculated the feasibility of it.

In the initial stage, only one server is needed, 10M optical fiber is activated, and a website maintenance personnel and a data management personnel are required. When it develops in the future and the number of users increases, the server and bandwidth can naturally be expanded.

After careful consideration, Lin Feng decided that this plan is feasible, but he needs to register another Internet company.

what! This is.......

Just as Lin Feng was about to get off the net, he accidentally caught another important financial news.

In April 2000, China National Petroleum Corporation was listed overseas, and signed a joint venture agreement with Shell, Exxon, BP Amoco and other major Western oil companies to operate 2,000 gas stations in exchange for its strategic investor contribute.

Lin Feng remembered that at the end of the year, Sinopec Corp. would also go public overseas. The two most profitable oil companies in China were listed overseas one after the other in the same year, and then launched plans to acquire gas stations across the country. Many people made a small fortune because of this.

But even if the acquisition seems to be a matter of 2004, it is still early, and there is no rush now. When Sinopec and PetroChina start their nationwide acquisition plan, they will make a big deal out of it. The two monopoly enterprises have earned so much money from the common people, it is not an exaggeration to seek justice on behalf of the people of the country.

After finalizing his plan, Lin Feng found accountant Zhang and calculated the company's current fund balance.

750,000. After establishing Lin's Catering and Entertainment Co., Ltd., six "killing clubs" and buying a house for his mother with 200,000 yuan, Lin Feng still had 750,000 yuan in cash left.

Among them, the budget of 150,000 yuan should be set aside for the first barbecue city in Lanzhou District; 100,000 yuan should be set aside for the flower tea processing factory. Counting 100,000 yuan of working capital, the actual capital that Lin Feng can use is about 400,000 yuan. But for my future meal plan,

You also need to set aside 300,000 yuan for start-up capital, so that the most you can use is 100,000 yuan.

In Chu City in August 2000, the telecommunications department had already begun to brew broadband services, and ADSL had begun to appear in the advertisements of the telecommunications department. But at this time, the initial installation fee of 512K bandwidth for home installation is 308 yuan, plus a caller ID phone and a modem, and the annual network usage fee is 600 yuan, with a monthly limit of 200 hours.

As for the fiber optics in Internet cafes, due to line problems, except for a few Internet cafes near the telecommunications room in the urban area, most Internet cafes still hold a wait-and-see attitude. After all, at this time, LAN games are still the world. Although "Stone Age", which will be popular in the future, has appeared in online games, it has not yet become popular in Chu City.

"Age of Empires" and "StarCraft" are the absolute mainstream now. The real explosion period of online games came after the appearance of the Korean kimchi game "Legend". But that was a year later.

For the convenience of opening the optical fiber, Lin Feng rented a 100-square-meter residential house in the city center near the telecommunications room for 800 yuan. After simple decoration, Lin Feng's first Internet company was born here.

Lin Feng recruited a fresh graduate majoring in network information and a file manager, while he was temporarily in charge of daily management. After all, the Internet company has just been established, and there is almost nothing to be busy in the early stage.

After that, I hired an internet company to help design the webpage, and then spent 20,000 yuan to buy a server, 20,000 yuan to open the 10M exclusive optical fiber installation fee, and 60,000 yuan to use the optical fiber per year.

Lin Feng knew that he would definitely lose money in the early stage, but with Lin Feng's current assets and company size, he could still bear a loss of more than 100,000 yuan a year. As long as you persist until the number of registered members reaches a certain number, it will definitely make a lot of money. Not only can he earn a lot of money from the advertising revenue, but also the cash retention of the daily transaction volume can bring Lin Feng a large amount of capital turnover.

Of course, it is impossible now. The country has not yet launched online banking services. Only after launching online banking services and then purchasing third-party credit platforms such as Alipay, all this will no longer be a dream. Although this method of misappropriating money is not as much as that of listed companies, it is better than being safe and aboveboard.

As for the company name, Lin Feng directly stole the name and domain name of Taobao, which came out three years later. , this is the international domain name of Linfeng Network Company. However, although the website has been established, there are no merchants joining for the time being. While asking his two men to post advertisements on major forums, Lin Feng became the first member of his online trading platform to open a store.

Pre-order the world's No. 1 online combat first-person perspective shooting game - "CS Counter-Strike", which will be released on September 15. Pre-Order Book now. ——In the most conspicuous position on Taobao, Lin Feng placed the most conspicuous advertisements for his products.
