Chapter 578 (2/2)
As soon as the phone was connected, Chen Ping said in an exclamatory tone, ”ah, Mr. Ma, you are so accurate. Taobao has contacted me and wants to meet me!”
At the other end of the phone, Ma, the boss of Hangzhou, smiled and asked Chen Ping, ”who wants to meet you? Which of Taobao? ”
”It's their general manager, Liu Kaidong.”
Boss Ma immediately came to the party: ”Oh? It's Liu Kaidong? It's not bad. It's Taobao's No.2, No.2. ”
Chen Ping said with a smile, ”the purpose of his coming here tomorrow should be what you said before. How can I talk to him if I want to buy the house and deliver it quickly?”
Boss Ma said with a smile: ”if he puts forward this goal tomorrow, don't tell him that homestead has been merged by Alibaba. You tell him the advantages of homestead now, several bases and several information systems. Besides these, you also tell them that homestead wants to use the advantages of logistics and transportation to build its own online mall, as I told you last time Like. ”
Chen Ping said, ”I see. I'll have a good chat with him tomorrow.”
Ma said with a smile, ”then I'll wait for your good news.”
”Don't worry.”
After putting down the phone, boss Ma was very happy. Homestead express is the best developing private express service in China, but now it has been merged by Alibaba bar. As early as Li Mu became a famous Taobao website, boss Ma realized that his future development encountered the biggest enemy. At that time, his Alibaba bar valuation had exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars, However, he immediately communicated with the capital behind him and got another round of financing in an emergency the other day.
Originally, this round of financing should be launched the year after boss Ma's taobao.com went online, but boss Ma was worried, so he raised another 30 million dollars and was ready to fight with taobao.com with a lot of cash in his hand.
Ma boss's most hope now is to be able to stake in Taobao, because Taobao's trend is too fierce now, YY has to do traffic support, and Alipay has made payment support, but it's hard for him to play. But the horse owner is Ma's boss. He has a very sharp eye. He also worries that Li Mu doesn't buy his account. So he is playing with a fundamental solution. US dollar, the private express companies that are a little bit dynamic in the market at present have been merged or acquired.
The scale of homestead express is very large now, and the boss Chen Ping is also a long-term person, so at the beginning, boss Ma's purchase proposal was directly rejected by Chen Ping. Boss Ma had to bite his teeth and use 3% of Ali's shares plus tens of millions of cash to buy homestead express into Ali.
As for not being able to achieve the nationwide scale of Shentong and Yuantong, boss Ma spent less than 30 million yuan in total, and packed both companies into his pocket.
At present, there are few private express companies that can be bought by Taobao.
The reason why boss Ma is so secretive is also very clear. Taobao has opened up traffic, sellers, buyers and payment channels. At present, Taobao has become an online integrator. The only weak link is offline. No matter how to do e-commerce, the purchase of physical objects still needs to give the last link to offline logistics, so boss Ma takes it ahead of time There are several express companies of certain scale in the world. They just recognize the bottleneck of Taobao's next development! That's exactly what he expected. Taobao.com will find a house to send you away!
With these logistics companies in hand, boss Ma can attack or retreat, or take the resources of small and medium-sized enterprises in Alibaba bar and express delivery resources in his hand to cooperate with taobao.com to generate electricity; or he can't become a comrade in arms to become an opponent. Alibaba bar will completely block the offline logistics export of taobao.com and strangle the neck of taobao.com, and then he will become a retail e-commerce company At that time, most of Taobao's traffic is useless. Postal resources alone are far from enough. Self built logistics is quite time-consuming and labor-consuming. If Taobao is going to be blocked by logistics capacity in the next year, it's not difficult to surpass it!
