"No, Mr. Sun, Mr. Li, just came the news that SF Express will no longer accept eBay Dangdang's courier business!!!" A young and beautiful female secretary ran into the conference room and said in a panic.
This female secretary is very sexy, with a short black skirt covering her hips, and a pair of fair and beautiful legs that are very eye-catching. However, everyone has no interest in watching the "scenery" at all. At this moment, when they heard the news, Sun Zhengyi, President Li and others all felt dizzy.
More than 70% of eBay Dangdang's express delivery business is undertaken by SF Express. Once SF Express is lost, everyone can't believe what the result will be!
It is only 2003 now, and the express delivery industry is far less developed than in 2016 in the previous life. Companies such as Yuantong, Shentong, and Huitong have not yet developed, and they have even been suppressed by SF Express, and their scale is not as large as that in the previous life.
Obviously, China's e-commerce is basically controlled by Li Zetian. Based on the principle of "fertile water does not flow to outsiders' fields", it is difficult for other express companies to get orders from Amazon, eBay and Alibaba. On the other hand, SF Express is developing very fast, not to mention the e-commerce express, but also received a lot of traditional express services.
Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that the existence of SF Express has oppressed the living space of other express companies.
Once eBay Dangdang lost the support of SF Express, in a short period of time, it was impossible to find a suitable express company to deliver goods for them, especially for cross-regional and cross-provincial express delivery.
Sun Zhengyi asked calmly, "Why doesn't SF Express accept our company's express?"
Female secretary: "They say it's too much business to be busy!"
"Hmph, what a ridiculous excuse! Presumably SF Express is also Chronos Li's business..." Masayoshi Son mocked.
Li Guoqing frowned, nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Sun. As early as eight or nine years ago, Chronos·Li acquired SF Express and later developed into Asia's largest express company! Before the merger of eBay and Dangdang, the Part of the express business is handed over to SF Express."
"Do you think this can stop the rise of eBay Dangdang? Is there no express company in China?" Sun Zhengyi disdainfully said that he did not think that without SF Express, eBay Dangdang would not be able to develop, and SF Express would not accept orders. , naturally there are other courier companies to make up.
Li Guoqing is not so optimistic. He has established Dangdang for several years. He knows all kinds of things in e-commerce websites, especially express delivery, and he has personal experience.
At present, there are very few express companies that can cover the whole country, and they are usually regional express companies, and many express companies cooperate with SF Express. Express delivery is done, and many express companies have warehouses that use SF Express for their goods. If SF Express does not accept orders from eBay Dangdang, it will naturally not agree to cooperate with these express companies. Well, these courier companies have encountered a lot of problems by transporting packages from Guangzhou to Beijing by themselves.
If the package cannot be delivered to consumers in time, consumers will have a lot of resentment.
"Mr. Sun, this matter should not be underestimated. Even if eBay Dangdang cooperates with other courier companies, it will cause many problems such as long delivery time and unreachable goods in a short period of time!" Li Guoqing said, and gave Sun Zhengyi introduced the situation of China's express delivery industry in detail.
After Sun Zhengyi heard this, his face sank, his body slumped on the sofa, his head bowed, and he fell into contemplation.
After a while, Sun Zhengyi said with a serious face: "This is a tough battle! As long as eBay Dangdang survives, it will be able to gain a foothold in the Chinese e-commerce market! PayPal terminates the cooperation, and we will speed up the development of third-party payment software. SF Express If express terminates the cooperation, we will unite with other express companies in China to create an express alliance, and invest to help these express companies develop and build large warehouses!!!”
"Soldiers come to block, water to earth. No matter how strong Chronos Li is, we have a way to deal with it!"
Sun Zhengyi paused and said loudly: "It seems that eBay Dangdang needs to raise funds again! Moreover, as long as we put forward the idea of building our own warehouse, many venture capital companies will definitely support it!"
Li Guoqing looked surprised. If they built their own warehouses, many weak express companies could rely on the warehouses and cooperate with each other. If I can't deliver the goods, you can help me deliver them. If I can't deliver the goods, you can help me deliver them. , In this way, a nationwide express delivery network can be established!
Li Guoqing's eyes flashed with concern, "The main problem at the moment is that it takes time to build a warehouse, and it costs a lot of money. It also takes time for other express companies to cooperate, and whether eBay Dangdang can survive and grow... If eBay Dangdang If it doesn’t fire, then, even if you build your own warehouse, I’m afraid it will be a waste of money…”
After thinking about it carefully, Li Guoqing couldn't help but smirk in his heart. Softbank and other venture capital companies are on the thief ship. It is not so easy to get off the ship. If the company wants to develop, it must burn money and continue to raise money!
At the moment, eBay Dangdang is very similar to JD.
JD.com has built its own warehouse, and it has been burning money. Even if it ranks second in the industry in China, it is still burning money, but some people are willing to spend money for it to burn. As the so-called "Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai - one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer". As the founder of the company, no matter whether the company eventually collapses or not, he himself has made a lot of money, married Bai Fumei, and reached the pinnacle of life.
…
Under the leadership of Sun Zhengyi, within a few days, eBay Dangdang made a big move and conducted a B round of financing, and this time the financing amount was huge, reaching 100 million US dollars. At the same time, it was also announced that eBay Dangdang would build its own warehouse, create an eBay Dangdang logistics system, and invite major express delivery companies to cooperate.
As soon as the news came out, the industry shook, as if an atomic bomb had been dropped on a calm lake. Countless small and medium-sized express companies are delighted to hear about it, and have contacted eBay Dangdang to ask more details about cooperation.
After receiving the news, Wang Wei, CEO of SF Express, immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately called Li Zetian to tell the eBay Dangdang website to build an eBay Dangdang logistics system.
Li Zetian frowned when he heard this.
"What do you think should be done?" Li Zetian asked Wang Wei. After all, Wang Wei knew more about the express delivery industry than him.
Wang Weidao: "Ebay Dangdang has the support of many funders such as Softbank, American Tiger Fund, American IDG Group, etc., and there is no shortage of funds. If it is allowed to build its own logistics system, it will definitely get the support of many express companies. So, not only The plan to block eBay Dangdang from express delivery is probably very difficult to carry out. In addition, it also allows other express delivery companies to grow and develop! However, as long as the eBay Dangdang website cannot develop and there is not enough business volume, everything they do is in vain! Maybe , SF Express can also buy the other party’s warehouse at a low price…”
Li Zetian nodded, thoughtfully, that is to say, as long as you kill or disable the eBay Dangdang website, no matter what you do, it will be useless, and in the end, it will be cheaper for SF Express.
