Scholar Revolt--Xingdong with Yiwu global network impact e-commerce

In the 90 's, Xingdong, a PhD graduate of Tsinghua University, became famous as an industry critic in China's IT industry by virtue of his book "Up to challenge Microsoft hegemony". Then xingdong the spirit of "evaluation and excellent entrepreneurship" concept, and rely on the blog China to lay a "blog godfather" status, now he and with Yiwu Global network began to Bo China Commodity City E-commerce.

It's hard to say whether the xingdong is successful or not, and the blog net even has employees ' door-paying incidents. But on June 9, 2010, the Hangzhou Riverside xingdong Duty Global Network Office, Xingdong still passion not to reduce.

For the blog to become famous, the party still insists that the blog is still the mainstream media in the future, especially in the professional field. He takes himself as an example, pay attention to the Internet + first read the "Computer World" magazine, and later is IT professional website, now more is to see some of the industry's blog and thread. He even believes that the current news unit reporters will be replaced by bloggers sooner or later, because the latter has an unparalleled cost advantage. He believes there may be bloggers on the news site.

But it seems story to mention the blog Web he founded.

Blog Network, formerly known as blog China, was launched by Xingdong in August 2002. At the end of 2003, it became the first blog site in Chinese. May 2005, the rankings to the Alexa Global website traffic professional ranked top 100, and known as "China's Internet 2.0 times," the leader. But 2006 has slipped to the National blog service provider 8th place. After that, the blog network has not regained its vitality.

The reporter consulted the blog web development Process page, also by 2006 to a halt.

Xingdong seems to miss the time when he started blogging that China did not accept the VCs, "I changed the title of almost every blog post out of personal interest".

At that time, Muzimei can rely on a blog post red all over the years.

After Xingdong's personal interests began to be located in the commercial operation, VC large-scale intervention blog, September 2005, the blog Net won 4 VC total 1 0 U.S. dollars investment, which is the international venture in China's Internet 2.0 era for the largest blog site investment.

But the biggest investment also quickly burned up so that employees pay, Xingdong think the entrepreneur and the concept of investors, relationship between the bad results of the blog network is not smooth.

"VCs can make an industry or ruin an industry." "After the birthdays of the Xingdong learned to reflect," but the ultimate responsibility lies in me, after all, people are my recruit, also did not use good money. ”

Fang told reporters that at present he has put all the shares of the blog net back, the VCs have withdrawn. As for the outside world has been criticized for the blog net profit model, Xingdong word "with the scale has a profit model."

Xingdong is a Yiwu person in Zhejiang Province, "Internet + Yiwu", in his opinion Yiwu is the world's most suitable for the development of E-commerce, the world's largest small commodity wholesale market has the most complete commodity categories, developed logistics, a large number of SME entities and ample private capital, "but not a Alibaba. ”

He felt that ten years ago, Alibaba is still unknown, and China Commodity city is already the boss, but today's listed companies China commodity City market value of more than 30 billion yuan, and Alibaba's market capitalisation reached more than 40 billion U.S. dollars, almost is China commodity city 10 times times. This March, Alibaba launched 1688 online wholesalers city, known as "the world's largest network wholesale market", directed at Yiwu China Commodity City. On the day, the home page wholesale traffic 6.4 million people, more than the YIWU market 1 months of traffic, E-commerce can be seen in the explosive.

In his view, the traditional commodity city will sooner or later be subject to the encirclement and suppression of electronic commerce downhill. Now the world's businessmen to Yiwu look like orders, once the E-commerce development to a certain extent, look like orders can be achieved on the Internet, when Yiwu main profit source commodity city booth fees and foreign merchants consumption will face enormous challenges.

"If the real market in Yiwu is not developing well, it must be that the Internet is not developing well, rather than the Internet." "He felt that Yiwu should quickly seize the position of E-commerce to accelerate the transformation, as soon as possible to form Yiwu as the brand of E-commerce platform."

From 2007 onwards, Xingdong has begun to practice his "Internet + Yiwu" theory, Xingdong founded Yiwu Global Network to define the world's first commodity trade business-to-business platform, last year in Yiwu's business volume has reached 40 million yuan, is expected to double this year.

But in reality, Xingdong Yiwu Global network can not evade is the pressure of Alibaba, in addition to the direct confrontation of Yiwu concept in business-to-business, Xingdong Yiwu Global Network and Jack Ma's Alibaba with the Hangzhou Riverside, Alibaba recruit thousands of times, and the salary is often the same as the peers, This to xingdong such as small e-commerce enterprises such as the pressure can be imagined, "now Ma Yuntai money." Xingdong jokes.

For Xingdong, a-share first network Sheng Chairman Deliang think can not use "The scholar revolt ten years not" to define, sun think Xingdong Internet thought once influenced a generation, no one has. As for Internet entrepreneurship, Sun believes that success with too many contingency, and xingdong the same generation of internet entrepreneurs have been out of the river, and the party has been insisting that this fully embodies the spirit of the Internet.
