Chapter 221: Strive to Complete the Beidou Phase Two Project Within Six Months! (Part 4/4)

He was holding a cigarette in his mouth but had yet to light it.

Seeing Tang Feng come in, he quickly came up to him, eyes shining as if he had seen a savior.

“What are you doing?” Tang Feng asked as he sat down on the sofa.

“I’m thinking of strategies,” Zhu Zihang answered.

“Have you come up with anything?” Tang Feng continued.

“Not yet,” Zhu Zihang shook his head.

“Look at you, getting scared over fifty million dollars! If Yiwugo had received five hundred million dollars, would you have peed your pants?” Tang Feng couldn’t help but tease him.

“Boss, what time is it! And you’re still in the mood for jokes!” Zhu Zihang felt quite helpless.

“If Yiwugo really uses fifty million dollars to snatch users, how would you respond?” Tang Feng got serious again.

“The only solution I can think of is to go for another round of financing. Then use the money from the financing to compete with them,” Zhu Zihang honestly replied.

“Too much financing will dilute the shares a lot! Of course, if you can win this war, then it’s worth it. But it’s terrible if you end up losing to the competitor,” Tang Feng said lightly.

“That’s true,” Zhu Zihang nodded.

“Mainly, facing Yiwugo as a competitor, getting financing is not easy. After all, investing is risky. And from the current situation, Jianbao Network’s chances of winning this war seem very slim. If you were an investor, what would you do?” Tang Feng posed a sharp question.

Zhu Zihang didn’t say anything.

He understood what Tang Feng meant.

For him, this moment was painful.

He had been ready to devote all his thoughts to running the website, but the cruelty of business competition was something he found hard to adapt to.

“Zihang, starting a business is like this. As the saying goes, for one to succeed, thousands must fail. Most entrepreneurs are doomed to fail. But you don’t need to be discouraged; you still have me,” Tang Feng patted his shoulder, speaking earnestly.

“Boss, if you have any great ideas, please tell me quickly!” Zhu Zihang was getting anxious.

“Meet force with strategy, counter land with earth. Since they’re preparing to compete with Jianbao Network, then you don’t have to take their moves,” Tang Feng replied.

“Boss, did I hear you right? Are you asking me to avoid them?” Zhu Zihang was clearly stunned.

“Do you really want to clash head-on with them? I don’t think it’s necessary! What you need to do now is not to fight them to death but to conserve your strength and avoid their edge! Wait until their initial assault is over, then it’s not too late to counterattack,” Tang Feng said, his mouth curving into a bitter smile.

“But wouldn’t all our users run to Yiwugo?” Zhu Zihang worried.

“Not all of them. But surely, some users will switch to Yiwugo. However, compared to the new users later, these users are negligible,” Tang Feng paused, then continued, “I will help you attract more new users.”

“Attract new users? How?” Zhu Zihang was puzzled.

“Pre-installation,” Tang Feng uttered two words.

“Pre-installation? What’s that?” Zhu Zihang, intrigued by this novel term, perked up.

“It means that before a computer leaves the factory, while installing the system, the website of Jianbao Network is preloaded onto the desktop! This way, when consumers start up their new computers, they will naturally see it,” Tang Feng explained briefly.

“That’s brilliant!” Zhu Zihang’s eyes lit up.

“Nowadays, most people in China don’t own a personal computer yet! Although the number of internet users has reached nearly three hundred million, a significant portion of these users access the internet from internet cafes. This group is basically not going to shop online. After all, the risk of account theft is high when surfing outside. Only when they have their own computers might they become interested in online shopping,” Tang Feng continued to share his vision.

“Boss, I have to say, what you said makes a lot of sense! Looking at it now, the number of online shopping users is indeed very low! It will take several years to cultivate this market,” Zhu Zihang’s eyes were filled with admiration.

In his eyes, Tang Feng was always a god!

“Two years should be about right. By then, many households will have computers. Not just desktops, but laptops as well. Online shopping will be much more convenient,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“Did I hear you right? You’re talking about laptops? Those are expensive! A laptop costs about twenty thousand yuan! Ordinary families can’t afford that!” Zhu Zihang was very surprised.

“The reason it costs twenty thousand yuan now is mainly because of low production volume! The yield rate of chips used in laptops is miserably low! Once the yield rate improves and production scales up, the price will definitely come down,” Tang Feng was very confident.

“Chips, isn’t that your forte? It seems, what you just said might indeed become a reality!” Zhu Zihang noted.

“What do you mean ‘might’? I guarantee it will come true! Of course, to get more users online, relying solely on laptops is not enough. Ultimately, the smartphone needs to be smart,” Tang Feng said, his eyes gleaming.

“Smartphone? Can I understand that as turning the phone into a mini-computer?” Zhu Zihang guessed.

“Pretty much,” Tang Feng nodded, “It means enabling phones to access the internet! This way, people can surf the web anytime, anywhere.”

“Boss, your imagination is really rich! I truly admire you!” Zhu Zihang couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.

“Enough with the flattery! Did you understand what I said?” Tang Feng was somewhat impatient.

“Understood! Very clear! I will follow your advice and not engage in direct competition with Yiwugo,” Zhu Zihang responded.

“That’s the way to do it! Never follow the competitor’s pace! Stick to your own rhythm! Only by doing so, can you remain unbeaten,” Tang Feng appeared very pleased.

The two talked for a while longer, then Tang Feng stood up, bid farewell, and went home.
