Although the ratings of the first online shopping show were very popular and received a lot of attention during the live broadcast, in addition to adding some topics of conversation to the people of the whole country after dinner, the actual impact was always limited.

The reason is not difficult to analyze. After all, it is only 1996, and Hong Kong City has not returned yet. Computers and the Internet are still very distant things for most people, let alone buying things on computers and paying on computers. This is something in science fiction movies. Therefore, most people think they are fun after watching it, and they are powerless to continue to support it. There are even many people who have watched the live broadcast, but still don’t know what this online shopping is.

The result is a normal result, but this result has caused some trouble to Zhou Ming and his corporate interoperability platform.

Due to the lack of subsequent influence, the banks that originally strongly supported Zhou Ming became half-hearted. At the end of the live show, these banks were rushing to cooperate with Zhou Ming on the development of online banking, but after the second and third day, they began to shirk.

"Oh! We are very sorry for this matter. After all, our bank has a system and the funds we can use are very limited, so we may not be able to develop online banking in a short period of time."

Zhou Ming put down the phone. This was an executive of a bank. Zhou Ming knew that he was ruling, but Zhou Ming wanted to laugh after hearing this. What about him? You, the bank, you told me that you have limited funds? Can you make an excuse to take some snacks? You three-year-old child won’t believe you after hearing this?

"It seems that these guys have discovered them!"

Suddenly, a sigh of emotion sounded, which was sent by Zhao Gang on the sofa opposite.

When the communication with the bank was in a deadlock, Shan Zhouming must have no good idea, so he called Zhao Gang and He Ziming over to see if they had any other ways. Su Han and Du Peng were also here.

But Zhao Gang and He Ziming came over and didn't say a word, and they finally spoke until now.

"What did you say, Zhao Gang, discover what you discovered?" Du Peng asked him.

Zhao Gang shook his head: "Du Peng, can't you still see it? I just discovered the problem of online shopping."

"It is indeed very convenient to buy online and you can buy things without leaving your home. I believe that any businessman with a little vision can see his prospects, but he has a fatal problem, which is the user."

As Zhao Gang said this, Du Peng's face became a little ugly. Zhao Gang continued: "Zhou Ming is too smart. His ideas are too advanced. I believe that if it is a developed country like the United States, this will definitely be a very good project. But in China, even for people like us, there are still many people who don't have computers at home, let alone ordinary people. I'm afraid there are still many people who don't even know how to use computers."

Du Peng's face became less and less beautiful because he knew very well that what Zhao Gang was talking about was the facts. The problem facing them now was so direct and sharp.

Since there are not many computers in China now, there will only be even fewer people using them. Among such a few people, how many people are willing to accept online shopping?

After all, the business model of paying money and delivering goods has existed for thousands of years. Now one day someone tells you that you can buy things by clicking a few mouses on the computer. I'm afraid most people won't feel at ease.

Of course, perhaps one day in the future, this will become the norm, and that is what we will talk about in the future. As for now, we will stay wherever we are cool.

This kind of thinking sounds lazy, but most of the time this is the norm. As a businessman, no one is willing to invest in such things that have no market. What do you say that it has a market in the future? That's great. Let's talk about it when it has a market in the future.

Merchants are profit-seeking. For projects that can make money in a month, they will go crazy and do whatever they want; for projects that can make money in a year, they will take out part of their funds to start laying out; for projects that can make money in a five-year or ten-year period, they will put all the relevant documents of the project into the file bag and wait for them to be taken out after five years.

This is reality!

Not to mention the size of the pattern, that is something that real leaders have to think about. Most businessmen will only consider how many bonuses I can get at the end of this quarter.

These bank executives were put into the scene when they watched the first live online shopping show and might make impulsive decisions, but after they went back, they carefully analyzed the situation data and realized that online shopping was temporarily unrealistic, they returned to their senses.

Zhao Gang suddenly stood up: "Okay Comrade Zhou Ming, I think the matter today will end here. I personally admire Comrade Zhou Ming's advanced ideas. I will continue to support the normal operation of the enterprise interoperability platform, but reality is reality. Now it is not enough for your ideal e-commerce conditions. So this matter can be put aside first, and we have to find another way to convince those banks..."

Zhou Ming shook his head and interrupted Zhao Gang, saying: "No, I think the enterprise interoperability platform is enough."

Zhao Gang smiled: "I can understand your current mood very well. I am not satisfied with my talent. Why is there no one following such an obviously promising project? But we still have to face reality."

"I'm not a person who likes to give up, especially giving up halfway," said Zhou Ming.

"But sometimes you have to learn to give up!" Zhao Gang emphasized.

"I know, the problem facing us now is that there is no market, so why don't we create a market but choose to give up?" Zhou Ming asked back.

"Creating market demand? Mr. Zhou Ming is indeed a big deal!"

Zhao Gang gave Zhou Ming a thumbs up, but his tone was a little mocked: "It's just Mr. Zhou Ming, do you know what this means? You have to help those computer companies sell expensive personal computers to everyone's homes, and then teach them how to use computers, and instill the concept of online shopping in them."

"Not only that, you have to help the Telecommunications Bureau build more network cables and add more switches so that the network can be delivered to everyone's home more conveniently."

Zhao Gang said to Zhou Ming little by little: "In the end, you must improve the express logistics network and build a more efficient express industry. You need more cars for transporting goods, you need more intensive manpower, and more warehouses."

"Since that's the case, then just do it." Zhou Ming shrugged and said for granted.

Zhao Gang is really going to be defeated by Zhou Ming, and he is even a little annoyed: "Zhou Ming, are you listening to what I'm talking about?"

"You didn't listen to what I was saying."

Zhou Ming responded in a tit-for-tat way: "First of all, it's a problem with personal computers. In fact, this problem is not a big problem, because we discussed e-commerce at the beginning of e-commerce, so we only need to focus on cultivating the e-commerce habits of enterprises. Of course, if we can promote personal online shopping, it will be a good development. After all, I believe that in the future, personal online shopping will be the mainstream."

"Innocent!"

Zhao Gang only used two words to evaluate Zhou Ming: "You are very lightweight in promoting companies and individuals, but have you ever thought about why they have to spend money to buy computers and why they have to spend money to learn to use computers? In the end, I have to spend money on computers. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"

“That’s what I’m going to talk about next.”

Zhou Ming then raised a question to Zhao Gang: "What do you think is the biggest obstacle for everyone to use computers now?"

Although Zhao Gang didn't understand Zhou Ming's thinking, he still answered Zhou Ming seriously: "Price, now, whether it is a computer or learning to use a computer, the cost is very expensive, which has caused most people to be discouraged by computers. I even heard that in many companies, those who understand computers can be called high-tech talents."

"Since that's the case, we can design a marketing plan to help everyone reduce the price of computers and learning costs. Wouldn't it be possible to cultivate the customer base?" Zhou Ming said.

Zhao Gang widened his eyes. He looked at Zhou Ming who wanted to say but didn't know what to say.

At this time, He Ziming, who had always been accustomed to silence, suddenly spoke: "Zhou Ming, do you know what you are talking about? Computers are so expensive. Those computer companies will not follow your arrangements to reduce prices. Of course, you can buy these computer companies and use equity to force them to reduce prices, but doing so will definitely cause huge losses. No companies will accept it. They will only drive you out of the board of directors."

“Simply put, unless you are willing to pay enough subsidies, no computer company will be willing to do this for you.”

He Ziming continued: "In addition to computers, there are also telecommunications bureaus and road and bridge companies. Their construction is planned every year, and the central government's allocation is limited. They cannot do their work specifically for you unless you can invest."

Listening to He Ziming's words, Zhou Ming calmed down: "So it's a matter of money in the final analysis. As long as the money can be in place, everything will be fine, right?"

He Ziming frowned and looked at Zhou Ming. He obviously became unable to understand Zhou Ming.

"This problem is easy to solve? Can you find investors?" He Ziming asked.

"Zhou Ming, don't look at me. I am a businessman and not a philanthropist who accumulates merits. I will not pay a penny to do such unrewarded things." Zhao Gang learned to answer quickly.

"I can promote Doll Xiao to sponsor this project." Su Han said, without giving Zhao Gang any face.

Du Peng then stated: "Jinpeng Company can also invest in this project."

Zhao Gang and He Ziming sneered: "You have done a great job, but I'm afraid you are the only ones, right? You can use the money to support this project."

"That's not necessarily." Zhou Ming suddenly said, "Maybe someone is willing to invest?"

Zhao Gang and He Ziming laughed: "I said you are joking? Which stupid B would be willing to invest in such a project that is obviously a loss?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on Zhou Ming’s desk suddenly rang without warning. Zhou Ming picked up and answered, and then said to Zhao Gang and He Ziming with a smile: "You guys are here to call you."
