Shenzhen, China, SF Express headquarters. (?[{[{ 〉
Sitting at his desk, Wang Wei meticulously looked through the documents on the desk.
As the president of SF Express Group, Wang Wei, as the general helmsman of SF Express, is as legendary as the company he leads. At only 22 years old, with a start-up capital of 100,000 yuan, he has grown from a start-up company with a total of 6 people to the SF Express Group with a market value of tens of billions today.
Even Jack Ma deeply admires him.
But today he was obviously a little absent-minded, which was very rare. He put the pen aside and stretched out his hand to rub his sour brow.
Think about it carefully, the last time I had this kind of anxiety was in 2002.
At that time, SF Express faced the severe test of taking over rights from franchisees. If successful, SF Express will become the first domestic logistics company to get rid of the franchise system and realize direct management from enterprises to outlets.
There is no doubt that this touches the cake of franchisees large and small. However, in the process of taking over power, Wang Wei's performance was also quite strong, and he even stated clearly that he would either sell the company's shares to him or get out of SF Express before the deadline.
It was Wang Wei's strength that brought him death. Some franchisees actually invited Xiangjiang's underworld forces to hunt down Wang Wei. This incident left a deep shadow on his daily life - to this day, he is surrounded by 4-6 bodyguards wherever he appears.
At this time, his capable subordinate Li Dongqi opened the door and walked in quickly.
Wang Wei did not blame him for not knocking, but asked quickly.
"How about it? Does the Future People Group agree?"
Hearing this, Li Dongqi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"No, the other party gave me the feeling that they have great ambitions for the logistics market."
Wang Wei didn't seem surprised by Li Dongqi's answer.
Occupying this massive virtual reality shopping platform, Future People Group even has the potential to dominate the e-commerce field. Nowadays, many people have developed the illusion and reality of shopping in the virtual world, including Wang Wei himself. Every time he puts down his helmet, he can't help but admire the designer for being a genius.
With such a unique advantage, it would be strange to say that Jiang Chen is not interested in logistics.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Wei said in a deep voice.
"Tomorrow I will go to Xinguo in person. If I can see Jiang Chen, I will personally convince him."
"No need, he will probably come to Xiangjiang tomorrow." Li Dongqi sighed.
Hearing this, Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, and his brows gradually wrinkled.
It's a bit difficult now.
…
While SF Express felt it was difficult, Jiang Chen also felt it was difficult, otherwise he would not have come to China in person.
The company chosen by Xia Shiyu was STO, and several major shareholders expressed satisfaction with the Future Man Group's 11% premium offer and the proposal to acquire 51% of STO's shares for US$1.7 billion.
Futureman Group wants to invest in STO, which is a good thing! Not to mention anything else, even if they rely on their resources in the Internet to lean a little towards STO Express, the shares in their hands will be worth more than double what they are now, not to mention that Futureman Group will acquire it at a premium of 11%!
As long as you give up a part of the stock, the remaining stocks will be worth more. Only a fool will refuse such a good thing.
But that being said, something went wrong at the final stage of the acquisition.
Just when the signing was about to be completed, several shareholders who had agreed to sell their shares temporarily changed their minds and refused to sell their shares. No matter how much the salesperson sent by the Future Man Group tried to persuade him, it was of no use.
When Future Man Group asked the reason, they found out that it was not that these shareholders did not want to take action, but that the government had begun to intervene.
This was something Jiang Chen didn't expect, but when Xia Shiyu heard the news, she showed a real expression.
Regarding mutual mergers and acquisitions between small companies, the government's attitude is often based on the standard of "according to the development laws of the market economy." However, when it comes to large companies, the government's attitude is much more cautious.
There is a typical case here, that is, Coca-Cola’s acquisition of Huiyuan Juice Group in 2009 was refused approval by the Ministry of Commerce in the name of antitrust. This situation is not unique to China. Huawei's repeated setbacks in the United States can basically be attributed to the fact that since 2008, the U.S. government has been systematically preventing the company from acquiring U.S. assets. As a result, Huawei has repeatedly suffered setbacks when it entered the U.S. telecommunications industry.
What has to be pointed out here is that if Futureman Group was registered in Shanghai instead of a small country in the Western Pacific that has no international influence and is worth wooing, perhaps the Phantom Helmet would not have had the opportunity to be launched in the United States from the beginning.
Originally, Jiang Chen hoped that the Liu family could help with this matter, but Mr. Liu's answer left him speechless.
The Liu family does have some energy at the top, but this matter cannot be decided by him alone. After all, they are not the only political power in the Republic. The government is wary of the Future Group's too much interference, and is not very interested in drone logistics.
Cutting 400,000 jobs to 50,000 may seem tempting to other companies, but from the government's perspective, aren't you lowering the employment rate
In many cases, it is not necessary to introduce you when you are advanced, unless it is impossible to live without you.
For example, quantum communication satellites have not yet opened up the Chinese market because they may have an impact on the "three telecommunications giants" that monopolize the market.
"When our Liu family held a meeting, they voted against the proposal to intervene in the acquisition. I can't help you much on this matter. However, I can tell you the bottom line of the superiors in this matter." At the end of the call, Old God Liu Xiangguo smiled.
"Oh? What is it?" Jiang Chen asked simply.
You take so much money every year, you should do something, right
"Equity," Liu Xiangguo gave an abstract word, "Future Group can open up the market, but it cannot monopolize this market. Do you understand what I mean? If you want to acquire STO, you can only hold 30% of it. This is the bottom line given by the discussion above. Or, you can start a logistics company from scratch."
At the end, the old man's tone was somewhat meaningful.
"Where are the drones?" This was Jiang Chen's biggest concern.
"Drones... Of course we still hope you can cooperate with domestic logistics companies. After all, this drone technology is very promising!"
The first half of the sentence is quite clear, and China will not make a fuss about the upcoming drone management bill, but the meaning of the second half is somewhat unclear.
But now that he had asked for the answer, Jiang Chen stopped chatting with the old guy. But before hanging up the phone, he suddenly thought of something and asked another question.
"Speaking of which, have you ever heard of an organization called Freemasonry?"
Squinting his eyes, Liu Xiangguo frowned slightly, and his tone became a little unpredictable.
"Freemasonry? How did you get involved with those people?"
"They just found me unilaterally."
"Ha, then you have met a very troublesome opponent," Liu Xiangguo smiled with some gloating, "How about it? Do you want to go back to China? They can't make any waves in China."
"It's better to skip it. I'm quite comfortable outside."
After hanging up the phone, he immediately found Xia Shiyu. The two exchanged views with each other.
And the answer is clear.
The profits of the logistics market are quite huge. Since around 10 years ago, the scale of the logistics industry has experienced a blowout growth. Based on 2o15 data, the annual business volume has exceeded 200 billion pieces, and the total industry revenue has also reached 200 billion yuan.
If it works well, the market in China alone can bring tens of billions of profits to Future People Group every year!
Although there are some policy problems, it is not impossible to solve.
If we can’t penetrate from the front, then we can go around from the side! (.)8
