In August 1999, two Harvard Business School graduates, Shao Yibo and Tan Haiyin, founded eBay in Shanghai, China.

In January 2000, according to the results of the fifth "Statistical Survey on the Development of China's Internet" of CNnic: eBay ranked first among domestic auction websites with votes, and eBay became the most popular auction website in China.

In July 2000, eBay launched a personal online store opening service.

This is not the information in Lin Feng's mind, but the information found online. After reviewing several offices found by Cheng Peijia, Lin Feng made a decision on one of the 120-square-meter houses. After entrusting the decoration company to decorate, Cheng Peijia supervised it, Lin Feng sat in front of the computer for the first time in half a year.

As soon as I accessed the Internet, I discovered the information about eBay launching a personal online store service.

eBay, the no.1, which was once a Chinese online transaction, was unfortunately surpassed by Taobao due to scandals such as leaking customer information and fraudulent credit. The latter eventually became the no.1, which accounted for 80% of China's online transaction market share. It is said that the transactions per day are over millions, with a cumulative amount of 400 million yuan.

By the way, I can open a personal online store to promote my upcoming Chinese version of "CS Counter-Strike". - Lin Feng snapped his fingers.

Apply for an account, create a user name, upload a copy of your ID card, and then wait for review.

However, at this time, eBay only provides a trading platform. After the two parties reach a preliminary transaction online, they also need to contact offline to determine the payment method between each other. This tests the character of the character. If you have a good character, you can buy good and cheap goods. If you have a bad character, you will be considered good for you. If you have a bad character, you will be fine. Some people will directly get money and get rid of the people.

At this time, online transactions have not yet been launched with third-party transaction credit platforms such as Alipay, and there is no guarantee of integrity system and security.

Perhaps I can also build an online trading platform now, and with the future trend of eBay, it will definitely surpass it to become a Chinese online trading platform no.1. - Lin Feng silently calculates the feasibility.

In the early stage, you only need one server, open 10m fiber, just ask for a website maintenance staff and a data management staff. After the development and the number of users increases, the server and bandwidth can naturally be expanded.

After careful consideration, Lin Feng decided that this plan would work, but he needed to register another online company.

Hey! This is...

While Lin Feng was about to get off the Internet, he accidentally glanced at another important financial news.

In April 2000, China National Petroleum Corporation was listed overseas and signed a joint venture agreement with major Western oil companies such as Shell, Exxon and BP Amoko to operate 2,000 gas stations in exchange for its investment as a strategic investor.

Lin Feng remembers that at the end of the year, Sinopec Co., Ltd. would also be listed overseas. These two most profitable oil companies in China were listed overseas in the same year, and then launched a plan to acquire gas stations across the country. Many people made a small profit because of this.

However, even the acquisition seems to be in 2004, and it is still early, so there is no hurry now. After Sinopec and PetroChina start the national acquisition plan, they will make a big profit from it. The two monopoly companies have made so much money from the people, and it is not an exaggeration to seek some justice on behalf of the Chinese people.

After finalizing his plan, Lin Feng found Accountant Zhang and calculated the company's current fund balance.

750,000. After establishing Lin's Catering and Entertainment Co., Ltd., six "kill clubs" and buying a house for his mother of 200,000 yuan, Lin Feng still had 750,000 yuan in cash.

Among them, the budget of 150,000 will be left to the first barbecue city in the Blue Special Zone; 100,000 will be left to the flower tea processing factory, including 100,000 yuan of working capital, Lin Fengke actually used about 400,000 yuan. However, for his future catering plan, he will also have to set aside 300,000 yuan to start-up capital, so that the maximum amount of funds he can use is 100,000 yuan.

In Chu City in August 2000, the telecommunications department had already begun to prepare broadband services, and adsl had begun to appear in the telecommunications department's advertising. However, at this time, the 512k bandwidth home installation fee would cost 308 yuan in initial installation fee, and a caller ID phone and a cat were sent. The annual network usage fee was 600 yuan, with a limited time of 200 hours per month.

As for the fiber optics of Internet cafes, due to line problems, except for several Internet cafes near the city telecommunications computer room, most of the other Internet cafes are still waiting and see. After all, at this time, it is still the world of local area network games. Although online games have already appeared in the Stone Age, which is popular in the future, they have not yet been popular in Chu City.

"Age of Empires" and "Starcraft" are the absolute mainstream now. The real online game explosion period was after the Korean kimchi game "Legend" appeared. But that was a year later.

In order to facilitate the opening of optical fiber, Lin Feng spent 800 yuan to rent a 100-square-meter house in the city center near the telecommunications computer room. After simple decoration, Lin Feng's first Internet company was born here.

Lin Feng recruited a fresh graduate in the Internet information major and an archivist, and he was temporarily responsible for daily management. After all, the Internet company was established, and there was almost nothing worth busy in the early stage.

Later, he hired an Internet company to help design web pages, and then spent 20,000 yuan to purchase a server, and activated a 10m exclusive fiber installation fee of 20,000 yuan, and an annual fiber usage fee of 60,000 yuan.

Lin Feng knew that this was a sure loss in the early stage, but with Lin Feng’s current assets and company size, he could still bear the loss of more than 100,000 yuan a year. As long as he persisted until the number of registered members reached a certain number, he would definitely make a fortune. Not only could he make a lot of money by advertising revenue, but he could also bring Lin Feng a large amount of cash retention in the daily transaction volume.

Of course, it is impossible now. The country has not launched online banking services. After launching online banking services, and then purchasing third-party credit platforms such as Alipay, all this is no longer a dream. Although this method of raising money is not as much as listed companies, it is better to be safe and open.

As for the company name, Lin Feng directly stole the name and domain name of Taobao, which was released three years later. This is the international domain name of Lin Feng Network Company. However, although the website has been established, no merchants have joined the company for the time being. While asking his two men to go to major forums to post advertisements, Lin Feng became the first store member on his online trading platform.

The world's number one online battle first-person shooting game - "CS Counter-Strike", will be released on September 15. Pre-order is available for quick reservation. - In the most conspicuous position on Taobao, Lin Feng has put the most conspicuous advertisements on his products.
