Chapter 580 The only solution
After Chen Ping said this arrogantly, Liu Qingdong almost wanted to get up and leave.
Because he had realized that there seemed to be no need to continue talking.
When we met today, Chen Ping had a problem with his mentality. This is definitely not a normal mentality. He is gradually improving the oppression he brings to himself, and he must have a plan.
In addition, Liu Qingdong was also shocked. He had learned about the express delivery companies on the market. At present, the express delivery business is still an industry that has just begun in China. Most Chinese people's letters and logistics needs are solved through postal services. The postal mail and registered mail have accounted for more than 80% of the total number of parcels and mails in the country. In addition, the postal service also has the express delivery service of Ems, so overall, the market in the private express delivery industry is not large.
In fact, although China's logistics industry is an abnormal product of excessive obesity in the future, without the rise of e-commerce, China's demand for logistics and transportation, with a population of 1.3 billion, will not be enough to give birth to so many various logistics and express companies. There is no support for e-commerce at present, and no matter how awesome a private express company is, it is just eating some residue and leftovers downstream of the postal service.
There are now four private express delivery companies in China that are considered good. Zhaiqi Express is well-deserved no.1 in terms of fame, scale and coverage area. Secondly, Shentong, YTO and SF Express. SF Express is now relatively famous in the south, but it has not yet truly operated its national business and is in the accumulation stage of accumulating strength. The remaining three companies are now one. This news makes Liu Qingdong very nervous.
Combined with the malice released by Chen Ping, Liu Qingdong suddenly felt that Taobao might have been plotted against, but he couldn't understand why the one who plotted against Taobao was a home delivery.
Liu Qingdong said to Chen Ping tentatively: "Mr. Chen has now integrated Shentong and YTO, and the carrying capacity of the entire logistics system will definitely be greatly improved. In this case, it is most appropriate to cooperate with Taobao. We will soon usher in an online sales peak. If we cooperate, we will definitely achieve a win-win situation."
Liu Qingdong has changed his tricks. He did not talk about acquisitions or mergers. He only talked about cooperation to test Chen Ping's tone.
Chen Ping smiled mysteriously and said, "Mr. Liu, in the future, we may focus on the integration of resources of the three companies, and we may not be able to cooperate with your company in this regard."
Although Liu Qingdong was surprised, he didn't feel unexpected. He subconsciously felt that Chen Ping would reject him.
Liu Qingdong changed his routine again and asked him: "Since Mr. Chen is interested in mergers and acquisitions, why not talk about your thoughts?"
Chen Ping looked at Liu Qingdong with that strange look again, smiled mysteriously, and then said: "Mr. Liu, if you really talk about the details of the merger and acquisition, then I won't talk to you, but my parent company boss will come to talk to you."
"Parent company?" Liu Qingdong felt that his mind was not enough. Isn't Zhaiqideng Shipping a private company founded by Chen Ping? It seems that it was not acquired by anyone, so why did he even bring up a parent company? And Chen Ping is really fucked. He always speaks halfway through his words, and it is not easy to hide it.
Chen Ping felt that he had laid the foundation almost the same, so he finally wanted to open the skylight and said to Liu Qingdong with a smile: "Zhaihuishang had accepted the merger and acquisition agreement of Hangzhou Alibaba Bar some time ago. Now it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alibaba. The same is true for Shentong and YTO. If Mr. Liu wants to talk about further in-depth cooperation, I can help you ask Mr. Ma from Alibaba to come and have a chat."
Ali! So that's it!
Liu Qingdong's heart skipped a beat, and all the questions and confusions suddenly opened up at this moment.
It turned out that Alibaba was behind the scenes. Alibaba's boss Ma had always wanted to meet Li Mu before, and seemed to be very interested in Taobao. However, Li Mu had been dragging him down and never met them. Unexpectedly, they had already obtained all these express delivery companies.
At present, Alibaba is definitely much larger than Taobao in terms of company and business scale, and has a valuation of at least hundreds of millions of US dollars. However, compared with Muye Technology, it is still one echelon. However, Liu Qingdong once studied the capital behind Alibaba Bar, most of which are overseas V investment banks, such as Goldman Sachs, SoftBank, Huiya Fund, etc. The helmsmen of these large investment banks are very optimistic about Mr. Ma, and naturally support Boss Ma. Therefore, as long as Boss Ma is willing to raise funds, he must not be short of cash. At present, the express delivery company is not worth much money. Boss Ma first collects the express delivery company to deploy the terminal industry of e-commerce, which is definitely a very clever trick.
Since everything is planned behind the scenes, Liu Qingdong also understood that it is no longer necessary or meaningful to talk to Chen Ping. This matter is no longer something that Chen Ping can decide, nor is it himself. Boss Ma is not good at coming, so he is going to fight against Li Mu directly.
Liu Qingdong and Chen Ping made a few polite words, then made an excuse to say goodbye and leave. When leaving, Chen Ping did not forget to remind him: "If there is a need for mergers and acquisitions, Mr. Liu can communicate directly with Mr. Ma. If there is no contact information from Mr. Ma, you can ask me for it."
Chen Ping's look of being arrogant and mastered by all means made Liu Qingdong feel quite dissatisfied, but his professional qualities still made him nod very politely and said, "If you need it, please contact Mr. Chen."
After saying that, he took a step away.
As soon as he left the door of the house, Liu Qingdong immediately called Li Mu and reported the situation to Li Mu in a simplified manner.
Things were not good, and it was a big problem. Liu Qingdong just pretended to be calm, but he was already a little panicked. Boss Ma took the few express delivery resources now. If he took them to threaten Taobao, then Taobao would immediately encounter a bottleneck in its future development. And what he was most worried about was not being stuck by Boss Ma. If the other party just blocked and blocked rather than attacking on the initiative, Taobao would definitely find a way to break through to solve the problem. He was afraid that Boss Ma would not only block the block, but also launch a frontal attack. If he used the terminal resources to turn around and do a 2 e-commerce platform like Taobao, then Taobao would be in trouble!
Boss Ma has a natural advantage in doing 2. His Alibaba Bar has been operating for many years and has a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises. After doing so many years, the corporate resources that Boss Ma has accumulated are very rich. It can be said that he has a large number of upstream resources for e-commerce, and express logistics is the downstream resources of e-commerce. Now he has also obtained it. If he cannot threaten it, he is very likely to use upstream and downstream resources to do his own e-commerce. He has both upstream and downstream industries. It is naturally like a fish in water to do the water. Taobao now has upstream and midstream, but if the downstream is not accessible, it will definitely cause disastrous consequences.
Li Mu was shocked when he heard the news on the phone. He didn't count it and did not count it. Boss Ma took action so decisively. He wanted to suppress him for a while before meeting him. Unexpectedly, he suppressed the meeting time but did not suppress his restless heart. In such a short time, he had mastered the downstream resources that could threaten him.
I always felt that it was too early to build my own logistics system now and it was too expensive. He had experienced the golden decade of development of the express delivery industry. To be honest, he might not be able to favor him when he asked him to acquire a company like Zhaiqi Express at the beginning. He really wanted to build his own SF Express or even his own FedEx, so he temporarily delayed the pace of logistics construction in Shangma. He wanted to start next year, but he didn't expect that after he hesitated, he immediately caught his weakness by Boss Ma.
Li Mu was upset. He was the same as Liu Qingdong. He knew Boss Ma's obsession with retail e-commerce. He was worried that Boss Ma would strangle his neck and threaten him to make huge concessions. He was also worried that Boss Ma would just slapped his thigh and did it himself. E-commerce is different from portal websites, and traffic is not the most important link. So even if he completely bans Boss Ma's e-commerce platform, he can still find other ways to break through. Moreover, he has upstream and downstream resources. If he really works, the starting speed will not be much slower than himself.
The ending link of e-commerce such as express delivery seems to be relatively low-end, but it is of great importance. If Taobao cannot find a way to break through and can only use postal to digest it, it will inevitably cause huge harm to the user experience. If the same purchase behavior takes one week of logistics cycle on Taobao and only takes three days on Boss Ma's platform, it won't take long before Taobao users will run away. Even if they have yy in their hands, it will be useless. Otherwise, why can't Tengxun do e-commerce in his previous life? QQ is not omnipotent, and yy is the same.
Li Mu asked Liu Qingdong to come back and talk about it. After hanging up the phone, he immediately began to speed up his thinking about the current situation. Zhaihui Delivery, Shentong, and YTO are almost the only private express companies that can be used at the moment. Except for the three of them, there is one SF Express left. Li Mu searched the news about SF Express online and found that SF Express is almost not very well-known, but it has already gained considerable fame and market share in the Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong and Macao. Now SF Express is best at short-distance express delivery, and the medium- and long-term express delivery business has not yet been truly developed.
But Li Mu of SF Express basically didn't think about it. On the one hand, SF Express has not yet begun its national layout. Wang Wei should still be actively investing in the struggle for income rights. Looking for SF Express cooperation will not relieve the near thirst. In addition, Wang Wei is also a top-notch figure in the business world. Even if he acquires SF Express himself, he may not agree. It will be a protracted battle with awesome people. With the current development speed of Taobao, the logistics industry may be in less than half a year to breathe.
If we go from the long-term perspective of e-commerce, logistics companies are destined to bloom all over the world, and Boss Ma’s blockade cannot last long. However, it takes time for both Li Mu and private capital to build logistics. I am afraid that Taobao cannot wait for the blooming flowers in the logistics industry. I am even more afraid that Boss Ma will build his own e-commerce website and hang the fruits condensed in the e-commerce field on his own branches.
Fortunately, there is also a state-owned brother of Posts who can rely on it. No matter how awesome Boss Ma is or how strong the capital relationship is, it is impossible to accept the postal service. At present, we can only develop postal resources as much as possible, and then immediately start to find a solution.
In fact, Li Mu already had the answer in his mind. In this case, there is only one real solution: do your own logistics, and if you want to do it, do the most awesome logistics in China!
