Since Li Mu's rebirth, he feels that his greatest progress is to learn how to make the most of various resources.
This reporter's interview is the best time to take revenge on the horse boss.
Long before Senior Brother Liu accepted the interview, Li Mu had already prepared the lines with him. No matter what, Li Mu believed that Senior Brother Liu, as the legal person of Taobao, must show his generosity and integrity when accepting interviews, so he absolutely cannot The best way to directly condemn what Boss Ma did is to inadvertently release a few clues to reporters, so that reporters can grasp the clues and then get to the bottom of it.
It was also the reporter friends whose sense of smell was so sensitive that they immediately caught the slightest clue in Brother Liu’s words. Then they asked about the fact that there were three private express delivery companies when Taobao Brand Day created a new domestic economic miracle. Maliciously stopping receipts and using this to hinder Taobao is a huge news point. How can reporters not dig deeper
At this time, the news on the TV had just finished broadcasting Senior Brother Liu's helpless sigh. Then, the TV screen switched to the studio, and two news anchors, a man and a woman, began to expand on this topic.
The female anchor looked curious and said to the male anchor next to her: "Chen Feng, don't you think this matter is a bit contrary to common sense? These three express delivery companies are obviously making money but not making money. What is the purpose of this?"
"Indeed." The male host smiled slightly and said: "From a normal point of view, express delivery companies should do their best to collect and deliver packages. The more there is a large demand for express delivery on Taobao Brand Day, the more they work hard to take care of it. It was a critical moment for the business, but these three express delivery companies obviously went against the rules of the market. Our reporters believed that there must be some unknown secrets, so they followed the clues, not to mention, they really found some clues."
At this time, the female host answered and said: "Let's see if our colleagues who went to the industrial and commercial investigation have gained anything."
The scene switched to an office. A man wearing an industrial and commercial uniform faced the female reporter. He held a document and introduced it very carefully: "From the public information of the industrial and commercial system, we can find that Yanjing Home Express and Shanghai STO The three express delivery companies, YTO and Yuantong, all experienced equity changes earlier this year, and the absolute holding companies of these three companies are Hangzhou Alibaba."
The reporter asked in surprise: "Alibaba has fully acquired these three express delivery companies?"
The other party nodded and said firmly: "Yes, 100% acquisition. These three companies are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of Alibaba."
The reporter hurriedly asked: "Can it be understood that the three express delivery companies stopped receiving goods at the same time on Taobao Brand Day? Is this intentional under the instruction of Alibaba?"
The other party shrugged and smiled: "This is beyond my ability to speculate, but from a corporate structure perspective, only Alibaba can control these three companies at the same time."
The reporter nodded slightly: "I understand, Alibaba is a well-known e-commerce company in Hangzhou. They were rated as the best B2B platform in the world last year. It seems that there should be some kind of competition involved. .”
After a pause, the reporter added: "Thank you, Section Chief Zhang, for taking time out of your busy schedule to brief us on the situation. Thank you."
The screen switched back to the studio, and the female anchor sighed: "I didn't expect that there was one boss behind these three express delivery companies. No wonder they would stop receiving goods in unison on Taobao Brand Day. Hey Chen Feng, you said this should be them Are you deliberately trying to cause some trouble for Taobao?"
The male anchor smiled slightly: "Zhou Ling, I have to correct your statement first. It cannot be said that these three express delivery companies are all controlled by the same boss. It can only be said that these three express delivery companies are controlled by the same company. However, your subsequent inference , I personally agree with it. The purpose behind the express company's stopping of receiving goods, which is obviously against the rules of the market, must be unconventional, and the possibility of competition will be greater... "
When Boss Ma saw this, his patience had reached its limit. He couldn't continue watching, so he grabbed the remote control from the ground and immediately turned off the TV.
The TV screen instantly shrank into a ball of white light in the center of the screen, and then disappeared in an instant. Boss Ma was filled with anger and hatred, but more importantly, he was panicked.
Originally, he and Li Mu were just competing at the company level. Li Mu's Taobao development momentum was too strong and terrible, and it happened to fully cover the "2C" level of business. For Boss Ma, who is doing B2B business, B2C\ C2C is his ocean of stars. He thought it was an ocean where he could roam to his heart's content, but unexpectedly, he found a giant whale like Taobao.com, and he had to fight to the death with Li Mu.
However, unexpectedly, Taobao suddenly became the focus of national attention. The government looked at it with admiration, and the people also regarded it as a beautiful product that changes lives, changes consumption patterns, and improves consumption convenience and transparency. At this time, Alibaba was suddenly exposed. Ba Ba used the courier company in his hands to stumble Taobao. Now Ali Ba Ba's reputation has been completely ruined!
In fact, the Zhejiang Satellite TV report that Boss Ma watched was relatively mild. After all, Alibaba is also a well-known local Internet company in Zhejiang Province, so the provincial media still retained some dignity. At this moment, the reports of other provincial and municipal media have long been All kinds of big hats are thrown at Ali.
"To disrupt the market for competition, fortunately Alibaba is not engaged in the pharmaceutical industry!"
"Competition in the Internet industry has finally reached the highest level of shamelessness!"
"Business competition should not sacrifice social interests!"
"Business competition should have moral constraints, and businesses must not be unscrupulous!"
“Taobao is benefiting the public, what about you?”
For a time, reports with such headlines flooded TV, newspapers and the Internet. Alibaba suddenly became the target of public criticism and was criticized online.
The Yanjing and Shanghai government websites issued announcements overnight. The local postal management department will order the three express delivery companies to submit written materials to the relevant departments within 48 hours to explain why they will stop receiving goods nationwide on Taobao Brand Day. At the same time, they will also A special investigation team will be set up to thoroughly investigate the illegal operations of the three express delivery companies. Once verified, the companies involved will be severely punished.
The postal express business belongs to the basic field of people's livelihood. Although the state allows private enterprises to engage in this industry, the relevant enterprises need to be managed by the local postal department. Once serious violations are involved in the basic level of people's livelihood, the government has the right to impose administrative penalties, including but It is not limited to ordering to suspend business for rectification, revoking business license, imposing fines, etc.
As soon as the municipal governments of the two places announced the news and it was reported by the media, there was a burst of cheers on the Internet. Boss Ma never imagined that he would shoot himself in the foot. Alibaba was in front of the public. All of a sudden, they became a street rat, and everyone wanted to beat them up. Even their capital side called them overnight to question them, demanding that they must handle this reputation crisis.
Boss Ma suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a swamp. Not only was he unable to move, but he was sinking deeper and deeper. For the first time in many years of entrepreneurship, he felt a bit hopeless.
The trouble is too great right now! The huge impact on reputation is only one aspect. What kind of punishment and subsequent impact the three express delivery companies will face is a big problem.
These problems ultimately affect Letao's launch plan. Letao's biggest advantage is originally its three supporting logistics companies. If the three logistics companies are punished, Letao's advantage will be greatly affected. If the advantage is eliminated by then, The greatly weakened Letao made its debut amidst public criticism, which may have directly crushed Boss Ma’s 2C dream! If 2C cannot be developed, Alibaba’s future development space will be greatly reduced!
Boss Ma, who fell into despair, hated Li Mu's actions to the core. He gritted his teeth and secretly cursed Li Mu for being too good at what he did. However, he didn't think about it carefully. He wanted to force Taobao orders to explode, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to take advantage of his Letao and The courier company's strategy of slamming Taobao's business is much more vicious than Li Mu's strategy of leveraging others' strength!
All business competition can be summed up in just four words: the winner is the king and the loser is the loser.
Just when Boss Ma hated Li Mu to the core, Li Mu was at home, relaxing and watching TV with his parents.
My parents also knew the shocking news that Taobao sold 2.683 billion a day. Fortunately, they had witnessed and learned too many shocking things in the past few days, and their nerves had long been tempered and not so sensitive.
Wu Haijun, who was in the hotel at this time, was having a meeting with shareholders who had just arrived in Yanjing. Everyone's opinions on Li Mu's train were not unanimous. The main reason was that Li Mu's conditions were too harsh. The 40% share limit was not suitable for those who owned the company. It is too high for shareholders who do not have enough shares. If Li Mu is allowed to take shares, their shares will be diluted too much.
Wu Haijun himself supports Li Mu's investment, otherwise he would not be able to call these people all the way over night. He can just reject Li Mu directly. The key is to hope that he can cling to Li Mu's lap and usher in the upcoming blowout of the PC market. Beforehand, prepare yourself to get as much profit from it as possible.
The opposing faction also has its own theoretical support. They believe that the rise of Taobao is a dividend for the entire industry. Even if Shenzhou does not cooperate with Li Mu, once Li Mu drives the wheel of Internet development, Shenzhou, as a complete machine manufacturer, will naturally benefit from it. Moreover, Shenzhou has its own price advantage in the market. When the industry dividends come, they can still gain huge gains even if they are not on Li Mu's car. Based on this theory, they only agree to allow Li Mu to invest 20% of the shares at most, and at least a matching For 70% of the cash, the resources and channels in his hands can only cover 30%.
Wu Haijun met Li Mu once. Li Mu's strength was something that these shareholders had never seen before. If he really negotiated with Li Mu on the condition of selling 20% of the shares and requiring 70% cash payment, he would probably offend Li Mu directly. .
The negotiations were somewhat deadlocked for a while, until Wu Haijun's assistant received the news and whispered to Wu Haijun, Wu Haijun suspended the meeting and turned on the TV.
Several evening news programs almost all broadcast news related to Taobao, and they all reported on the three logistics companies of Alibaba, and even included the decisions made by the two governments on the three express delivery companies.
Everyone present was surprised. They didn’t expect that Li Mu didn’t even have to take action. Liu Edong’s few understatements forced Alibaba to this point. The response speed of the municipal governments of the two places was also astonishing, which shows the influence of Taobao at this stage. How powerful is it
The predecessor of Shenzhou started out as a hardware company. Everyone is familiar with Alibaba’s B2B business and are even users of its B2B platform. They know Alibaba’s strength, but they didn’t expect that they would be so vulnerable to Taobao. .
The atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn.
Wu Haijun was surprisingly relaxed.
He felt that the shareholders present seemed to be beginning to re-examine the cooperation with Li Mu.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a shareholder said: "I take back what I just said. If President Wu is determined to cooperate with Li Mu, I have no objection."
Immediately, someone responded: "Me neither..."
Sorry, Shanxiugou was too tired last night and couldn't insist on finishing the second update. I will guarantee three updates today, and may have four updates.
