Challenge the overlord suspense?
Charge, listing, a series of actions show that it seems to be preparing for the next stage of efforts.
When Yi Bei became the leader of Internet enterprises with a market value of $29 billion in early 2004, almost everyone had high hopes for the development of C2C. After that, although Yi Bei's earnings per share in 2004 were slightly different from Wall Street's expectations, Yi Bei's share price fell by 19% in one day. But in fact, the earnings per share of Yi Bei and Yi Bei are only 65,438+0 cents lower than the forecast of securities analysts. Compared with 2003, the annual income of Yi Bei and Yi Bei increased by 565,438+0% and the net income increased by 76% in 2004. In other words, it is not that Yi Bei is not good enough, but that people want it to be better.
According to statistics, the growth rate of e-commerce in China in recent years is 40%, and it may exceed 50% in the years after 2005. According to the latest report of iResearch, the online auction market in China increased by 2 178% in 2004, and the annual turnover increased from 654380+007 billion yuan in 2003 to 3.4 billion yuan. It is estimated that the average annual growth rate of domestic online auction market will reach 84% in the next three years.
Although the profitability of C2C industry in China is far less than that in Yi Bei, the high returns have been stimulating their keen nerves. Before 2003, there were few competitors in this market except Yi Bei. However, the emergence of the "new world" is still a great change. Judging from the recently released data, Asia first and China first have become the strategic goals in e-commerce websites.
From the perspective of historical development, Yi Bei eBay is much older than other companies. Once upon a time, Yi Bei was almost synonymous with C2C in China, which made people have to believe that what Yi Bei got from the accumulation of time was far from capital. As a radical latecomer, localization may be at work to surpass Yi Bei.
Different from Alibaba's famous course of "flowers blossom inside the wall and fragrance spreads outside the wall", the popularity of the Internet in China has soared rapidly. According to the change of CISI popularity list of e-commerce website of Internet lab, there was no place before 2004, but since February 2004, it has risen to the second place after eBuy Yi Bei at a rate of 76,800% per month. After the launch of 1 year, eBuy ranked first.
The appearance of Yi Bei made him a "big bully", and his shortcomings, loopholes, deficiencies and arrogance were exposed one by one, which made him tired of correcting and remedying. Therefore, apart from being free of charge, it has also improved the domestic C2C market environment because of its strong participation in competition, which has been affirmed by many people, just like the current situation of China Unicom in the telecommunications field.
Ebay is obviously not unaware of its late-comer advantage. Tang Lei, the company's public relations manager, said: In the domestic e-commerce market, many enterprises are latecomers, but they are developing rapidly. I think this is a good thing. This is discussed in two aspects. First, imitation is the best compliment. Everyone comes to do this model, which shows that everyone agrees with this model. Second, everyone has developed, which shows that the potential market of this industry is very large. It shows that this market really deserves our investment and efforts to make it better, stronger and bigger. If it doesn't develop to this point, it means that the market is not working.
