Zhao Ziqiu's villa in Ziyun Villa is not far from the one Li Mu bought from Wei Lan.

Li Mu's set is slightly deeper than Zhao Ziqiu's set and has a larger area.

The reason why Li Mu bought a villa in Ziyun Villa was somewhat related to the fact that Zhao Xianliang caught him here. This relationship exists more in Li Mu's subconscious mind, which has a taste of getting up wherever he falls.

However, Li Mu no longer had the same competitive mentality as before towards Zhao Xianliang. Now the relationship between the two sides has eased a lot. Li Mu respected him as an elder in his heart, and regarded him as a good teacher.

He was familiar with the car and drove into Ziyun Villa. Zhao Xianliang was worried that Li Mu's car would not enter Ziyun Villa, but he did not expect that the security guard saluted Li Mu's car and let it go. Li Mu's car just slowed down slightly in front of the door, and then stopped and drove in directly.

This surprised Zhao Xianliang. He originally thought that he had to come forward to let the car in, but he didn't expect that the security guard would put Li Mu in directly. Could it be that the security level of Ziyun Villa has been reduced?

After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Xianliang felt it was unlikely.

Ziyun Villa is the best villa area within the Fifth Ring Road of Yanjing. It is not only a good location, a good environment, and a good hardware, but more importantly, a good management. People living here are either rich or noble, and the security here will inevitably be impossible to relax.

Although Li Mu only drove in successfully, Zhao Xianliang, who was good at observing, quickly concluded that Li Mu should have bought a villa in Ziyun Villa, because in his opinion, there was only this reasonable explanation for this small detail.

The car drove to the door of the villa at Zhao Ziqiu's house and stopped. Li Mu was still hesitating whether to take them home and then go in and sit for a while, or to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, he first found an excuse to flash the person.

Just then, Master Lei called Li Mu, and Li Mu said to Zhao Xianliang: "Uncle Zhao, I'll answer the phone first."

Zhao Xianliang nodded and said, "You are busy first. I'll go down and open the door. After calling, I'll drive in and sit at home for a while."

Li Mu agreed, and after Zhao Xianliang got off the car, he answered the phone call from Master Lei.

"Hey, Mr. Lei."

Master Lei said on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Li, didn't disturb you from taking a vacation?"

Li Mu smiled slightly: "I haven't taken a vacation, just say anything if you have anything to do."

Master Lei said: "Didn't you say before that LeTao will definitely focus on small and medium-sized sellers? We have been closely monitoring the situation of small and medium-sized sellers. From yesterday to now, many ordinary clothing sellers on our platform have received private contact from the staff of Letao Marketing Department. What we currently know is that LetTao invites our sellers to open a store on their platform. They promise to provide technical support and traffic support. At the same time, they also promise to give them certain platform subsidies in the first half of the year of opening a store. It is said that many sellers are very interested. Mr. Liu and I think we must respond as soon as possible, so we call you and want to ask what you mean."

Li Mu asked: "What do you specifically say about the three aspects of technical support, traffic support, and platform subsidy?"

Lei Jiaozhu said: "In terms of technical support, the people from Letao told our ordinary sellers that as long as our sellers agree to open a store in them, their technicians are responsible for helping them register a store, and even helping them grab product information from their Taobao stores and automatically list the same products on Letao. In other words, sellers basically don't need to do any actual work. Just nod, they have a Letao online store that is exactly the same as their Taobao store."

Li Mu couldn't help but exclaim: "This is very wise. It is intended to reduce the cost of users' operating behavior as much as possible and minimize the seller's rejection and laziness."

Master Lei said: "Yes, it's really wise."

As he said that, Master Lei said again: "In terms of traffic support, Letao people promised to give shop owners who prioritize store openings a certain amount of recommendation resources, and promised to purchase traffic on other websites to increase their store exposure."

“Where is the platform subsidy?”

Lei Jiaozhu said: "The platform subsidy is more ruthless. Letao's policy is that the platform will give two subsidies in the first half of the year after opening a store. One is to use the three logistics companies under Letao to deliver goods at a cost price to all store owners. According to the quotes they give, the seller's express delivery cost can be reduced by 40%. In addition, there is another subsidy that directly gives 5% of the sales of all store owners as a subsidy for the platform."

"Fuck!" Li Mu said angrily: "Is this too cruel? First, he minimized the cost of opening a store on Letao, and gave them traffic support as an attraction, but only allowed these sellers to open a store on Letao at zero cost. These two points are enough to attract these sellers. He also gave shipping discounts and a 5% platform subsidy. This is not only to attract Taobao sellers to Letao, but also to lure sellers to guide Taobao users to Letao for transactions!"

If it is just to attract Taobao sellers to open a store on Letao, Li Mu doesn’t feel any threat, because Letao has no users and no traffic, what if Taobao sellers open a store? At the beginning, many sellers opened stores on Taobao and also opened a store on Tengxun Paipai, but they couldn’t get rid of it, and in the end they were still dead.

However, Boss Ma’s tricks are indeed fierce. He first asked Taobao sellers to open a store in Letao, and then gave shipping discounts and 5% platform subsidies. This means for sellers: if the buyer makes a transaction on Letao, his profit margin will be greater.

For example, the current primary cost of domestic express delivery is basically around 15 yuan. If Letao uses its logistics advantages to make 9 yuan for the seller, it means that for the same business of 100 yuan, if the seller induces Taobao users to Letao to place an order, he can earn an extra 6 yuan shipping fee and a 5 yuan platform subsidy. In this case, most sellers should try every means to attract users to place an order on Letao.

The most important thing is that Taobao’s current small and medium-sized sellers are not stable enough. They have not fully realized how much additional benefits they will have after Taobao accumulates enough ratings and credit. So in this case, small and medium-sized sellers must be short-sighted. LeTao’s offer of such a large discount is equivalent to opening a shortcut to make more money in the short term.

Want to make more money? Spoof all Taobao users to LeTao to place an order. You can make about 10% more. This is not the additional orders that LeTao itself brings to sellers.

For sellers, you can make more money by fooling users to place orders on a different platform. Why not do it?

For Letao, it’s nothing for a seller to do this. What if there are hundreds or thousands of sellers to do this? It is possible to add thousands or even tens of thousands of orders to Letao in a day.

Thousands or even tens of thousands of orders per day, the corresponding sales are probably tens, millions, or even more every day.

If you increase sales by millions every day, Letao will immediately undergo earth-shaking changes, and it will immediately go from dying struggle to prosperity. How much does Boss Ma need to pay? Even if he adds 10 million sales a day, he will only need to pay a subsidy of 500,000. If Letao can have tens of millions of sales every day for ten days and half a month, I'm afraid Sun Zhengyi will immediately join Amazon to invest tens of millions of dollars.

So, Boss Ma really made a wishful thinking.

Li Mu also admired Boss Ma's methods very much. This guy can always grasp the most core key point. For the first time, he realized that logistics would become his shortcomings and grasped the core key point once. For the second time, he realized that if Letao wants to win, he must abandon electronic products and specialize in fast-moving consumer goods in daily necessities, and he grasped the core key point again. This time, he focused on c2c, and had to start from his small and medium-sized sellers, and once again grasped the core key point. Moreover, the methods were so disgusting, which made people feel like swallowing a fly in their hearts.

Li Mu began to think that he could not continue to spend time with Boss Ma like this. This person was poisonous. After being entangled with him for so long, his methods were getting more and more troublesome. This time, he had to find a way to break his wishful thinking, and then he had to drag him onto the dead end that had been prepared for him as soon as possible and do his best to do it in one battle!

After thinking about it for a while, Li Mu said to Master Lei: "Let's do this, I still have two hours in the afternoon. You and Mr. Liu are waiting for me in the company. After I handle the matter at hand, I will come and meet you immediately."

Master Lei immediately said, "Okay, we are waiting for you in the company."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu immediately turned off the car and entered the yard. He met Zhao Xianliang and Xie Yun who were in the yard. Zhao Ziqiu said: "Uncle and Aunt, Ziqiu, I have to rush over as soon as possible, so I won't go in and sit in. Tomorrow I will try to handle the matter in advance and come here early."

Zhao Xianliang nodded: "Since there is something urgent, let's go and do the important business first. We'll almost go out after we go in and rest. Let's talk to you tomorrow night."

Xie Yun also said: "Li Mu, please be careful when driving later and come here early tomorrow night."

Li Mu nodded quickly and said, "Okay, then I'll go there first."

After saying that, Li Mu winked at Zhao Ziqiu and said in his mouth: "I'll leave first."

Zhao Ziqiu nodded and said, "My parents, I'll send Li Mu out. You guys go in and rest first."

Zhao Xianliang and Xie Yun didn't say much, and after saying goodbye to Li Mu, they entered the villa. Zhao Ziqiu accompanied Li Mu out of the gate. Before Li Mu got into the car, he said to Li Mu in a coquettish manner: "You come early tomorrow night, don't let pigeons go."

Li Mu reached out and touched her face, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I must come here early."

Zhao Ziqiu gently grabbed Li Mu and stroked his hand, kissed Li Mu's palm gently, and then said softly: "Drive slowly."

Li Mu drove out of Ziyun Villa, then immediately kicked the accelerator and said to himself: "My surname is Ma, you really have the will to die. If you don't kill you this time, it will be inconsistent!"
