What if I didn t do it at the beginning, but concentrated on shopping searches?

Because their time to enter the entire shopping market is too slow. At that time, ** had basically invested a lot of capital into it, so if they entered the shopping search market at that time, it would not have been possible.

In this regard, I think Jack Ma's vision at that time was indeed very big. He already saw the future of the market in 2003. And he invested a lot of money, which was actually a very strategic plan, and he leveraged a huge market with very little money at that time.

But I think it's actually doing a pretty good job in this area. For them, what they do best is not shopping searches. Although this kind of mining and sorting of information can also solve many of the needs of customers.

But if these products in this area are not done well, it will affect their core products, which is actually a very fatal thing.

And for what has already happened,We're talking about this now.

Discuss. In fact, it is useless。I didn't do this at the time because of many reasons, so it wasn't because they were in the wrong strategic direction, but because they didn't see the market at the beginning.

It's a tactical failure, but it's not something to be fuss about in business.

Summary Therefore, history cannot be assumed, if we want to assume that we did shopping searches at the beginning, then the situation of the entire market may change, but it may still be Jack Ma's current dominance. None of this is clear.

As we all know, it is now the largest search engine in the country, and it ranks among the best in the same type of search engine in terms of both clicks and views. In today's Internet age, it also plays a pivotal role. <>

But have you ever thought about what would happen if it was shopping software at the beginning, in that era when the Internet was just emerging, and fighting against the **.

When I chose to do C2C instead of shopping search, I was indeed a bit limited to the market at that time. Yes, it was launched in October 2008, and it has been 5 and a half years later than **, and there is no investment of several times or even dozens of times that of **, and it is basically impossible to have a chance. **In 2003, I dared to invest strategically in a promising direction to leverage a huge market, and for many years afterward, I did not see the second one so bold.

History sometimes cannot be assumed. If you didn't do C2C at the beginning, but did shopping search, firstly, the relationship with Alibaba would not be as stiff as it is today, and secondly, the advantages would have been better played. But even when I decided to do a shopping search, I still doubt that I had the courage and patience to put in it.

You may feel that a large part of the marketing expenses of B2C companies will go into your own pockets, regardless of whether you do shopping searches or not. And the performance growth that continues to exceed expectations seems to prove that there is nothing wrong with the decision-making. <>

Therefore, in today's society, it is still necessary to seize the opportunity to find the most suitable path for our own development.
