At the beginning of the venture, they have no experience to follow in the face of a blank market. But they seized a rare opportunity, when the newly established FAW-Toyota announced the introduction of a 100,000-yuan price of the Granville, the first to enter the 100,000-yuan range of the family car caused widespread concern. In order to gather popularity, Eckar will be the main push for the current model.

Deng Fulang: Used Cars abacus

From the bank director, lawyers to second-hand car operators, Fujian Deng Fulang has not been to the harvest season, although he and Zhangjingqiu entrepreneurial almost at the same time, but is still in a lot of capital investment stage.

"I am optimistic about e-commerce in this field, more bullish on China's huge second-hand car market." In recent years, the second-hand car market has increased by more than 40%, even more than the speed of new cars. "Deng Fulang's entrepreneurial goals are clear.

Unlike the Eckar final shift to auto media, Deng Fulang's plan is to make a 2,732 handcart network into a second-hand car business entity with its own brand. "For a long time, the sales of second-hand cars will be profitable, and the subsequent service profits will be greater, this is not a site to provide information simply to earn advertising costs can match." "Deng Fulang thinks.

It is based on this idea that China's largest second-hand car trading platform known as the 273 Chinese second-hand car trading network, creating a new trading model, both fast and efficient accumulation of information on both parties, but also combined with the online second-hand car evaluation and trading stores, to solve the current situation of second-hand car transactions through the Internet is difficult to directly realize the status quo- Online under the organic combination of the way to let 273 brands quickly spread, while allowing second-hand car trading and the Internet to exchange the advantages of real interaction.

Now Deng Fulang is gradually liberalized second-hand car business, created a "273" second-hand car chain brand, to encourage the conditions of the second-hand car dealers to join together to carry out chain operations.

According to statistics, 273 landing trading service Network has nearly 40, distributed in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, Xiamen and other fields. Chain to rely on the site, while the integration of second-hand car appraisal and evaluation, acquisition and sales, second-hand car replacement, spare parts supply, maintenance, auto credit, leasing, auction as a whole, united nearly hundred cities of second-hand vehicle dealers, and jointly developed into a domestic professional engaged in second-hand car operating Network service brand. This is the line that makes Zhangjingqiu greatly emotion.

Now, the problem that Deng Fulang needs to face is the whole situation of the second-hand car market--seemingly huge space, but by the influence of money, service, policy and so on, the competitor has not really prospered yet, but the competitors are rushing in.

"The future of the second-hand market cake can reach tens of billions of dollars, a few percentage points, not to mention we may become a giant, after all, we are prepared early." "For the future, Deng Fulang confidence firmly."
