Chapter 749
Now that Li Mu was reborn, he felt that his biggest improvement was learning how to make the most of all kinds of resources.
This interview with reporters is the best time to report the revenge of the boss.
Long before Senior Brother Liu was interviewed, Li Mu had already agreed with him on his lines. No matter what, Li Mu thought that Senior Brother Liu, as a legal person of Taobao, had to show his generosity and integrity during the interview, so he absolutely could not. The best way to directly condemn Boss Ma's actions is to inadvertently release a little clue to the reporter, so that the reporter can catch the clues and then get to the bottom of it.
It's also because the reporter friends' sense of smell is too sensitive. The little clues in Liu's words were immediately caught by the reporter friends. Then they asked that when the Taobao Brand Day created a new miracle of the domestic economy, there were actually three private express delivery companies. Maliciously stop receiving emails and use this to hinder Taobao. This 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 host looked curiously and said to the male host next to her, "Chen Feng, are you saying this is a bit contrary to common sense, these three express delivery companies are obviously making money but not making money. What is this for?"
"Indeed." The male host smiled slightly and said, "From a normal point of view, courier companies should try their best to receive and deliver parcels. The more they are in demand for courier services such as Taobao Brand Day, the more they try their best to undertake them. It is a critical moment for the business, but these three express delivery companies obviously violate the market rules. Our reporter believes that there must be some hidden secrets, so they follow the clues, let alone, they really let them touch some clues."
At this time, the hostess said, "Let's see if our colleagues who went to the industrial and commercial investigation have gained anything."
The screen switches to an office, and a man in an industrial and commercial uniform faces the female reporter, holding a document and introducing it very carefully: "From the public information of the industrial and commercial system, it can be found that Yanjing Home Express, Shanghai Stock Exchange As well as the three express delivery companies YTO, all of which have undergone equity changes earlier this year, the absolute holding companies of these three companies are all Hangzhou Aliba.”
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 courier companies stopped receiving parcels at the same time on Taobao Brand Day, and did it intentionally at the behest of Aliba?"
The other party shrugged and smiled: "This is not something I can guess,
However, in terms of company structure, only Alibaba Bar can control these three companies at the same time. "
The reporter nodded lightly: "Understood, Alibaba is a relatively well-known e-commerce company in Hangzhou. They were also rated as the world's best B2B platform last year. It seems that there must be some kind of competition involved. ."
After a pause, the reporter added, "Thank you, Section Chief Zhang, for taking the time out of his 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 a boss behind these three express delivery companies, no wonder they stopped receiving parcels on Taobao Brand Day so uniformly, hey Chen Feng, you said it should be them Are you deliberately trying to create 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 the same boss, only that these three express delivery companies are controlled by the same company, but your reasoning behind. , I personally agree with the fact that express delivery companies stop receiving parcels, which obviously violates the laws of the market, and the purpose behind it must be unconventional, and the possibility of competition will be greater..."
When Boss Ma saw this, his patience had reached the limit, and 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 mass of white light in the center of the screen, and then disappeared in an instant. Boss Ma was extremely angry and hated, but more panicked.
Originally, he and Li Mu were just a game between the company and the company. Li Mu's Taobao.com was developing too fast and too scary, and it just happened to fully cover the "2C" level of business. For Boss Ma who is doing B2B business, B2C\ C2C is his sea of stars. He thought it was an ocean where he could roam to his heart's content. Unexpectedly, he was lying on the giant whale Taobao. He had to fight Li Mu to the death.
However, I didn’t expect Taobao to become the focus of the nation’s attention all of a sudden. The government was impressed by it, and the people also regarded it as a beautiful product that changed lives, changed consumption patterns, and improved the convenience and transparency of consumption. At this time, Aliba was suddenly exposed. Let's use the courier company in hand to stumble on Taobao. Now the reputation of Aliba will be completely wiped out!
In fact, the Zhejiang Satellite TV report that Boss Ma watched is relatively mild. After all, Alibaba is also a well-known local Internet company in Zhejiang Province, so the media in this province still has some face. At this moment, the reports of other provincial and municipal media have long been All kinds of big hats are desperately thrown at Ali.
"To disrupt the market for competition, it is fortunate that Alibaba is not engaged in the pharmaceutical industry!"
"The competition in the Internet industry has finally reached the highest level of shamelessness!"
"Business competition should not sacrifice social interests!"
"Business competition should be restrained by morality, and it is not unethical to be a business enterprise!"
"Taobao is benefiting the public, how about you?"
For a time, reports of such headlines flooded TV, newspapers, and the Internet. Alibaba suddenly became the target of public criticism, and there was a lot of scolding on the Internet.
The government websites of Yanjing and the Shanghai Stock Exchange issued an announcement overnight that the local postal administration will order the three express delivery companies to submit written materials to the relevant departments within 48 hours, explaining why they stopped receiving parcels nationwide on Taobao Brand Day. A special investigation team will be established 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 has opened up private enterprises to engage in this industry, the relevant enterprises are subject to the management of 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 on them, including but not limited to. It is not limited to ordering suspension of business for rectification, revocation of business licenses, imposition of fines, etc.
As soon as the municipal governments of the two cities announced the news, and after being reported by the media, there were cheers on the Internet. This time it was hard. Boss Ma never dreamed that he would shoot himself in the foot with a rock. Ali Bar is in public. All of a sudden it became a rat crossing the street, everyone shouted, and even their capitalists called and questioned them all night, asking themselves to deal with this reputation crisis.
Boss Ma felt as if he had fallen into a swamp. Not only was he unable to move, but he also fell deeper and deeper. For the first time in many years of business, he felt a little hopeless.
Too much trouble right now! The huge impact on the reputation is only one aspect. What kind of penalties will the three express companies face and the subsequent impact are the big issues.
These problems ultimately affect Letao's launch plan. The biggest advantage of Letao is originally its three supporting logistics companies. If the three logistics companies are punished, the advantages of Letao will be greatly affected. The greatly weakened Le Tao appears in the public's scolding, and I am afraid that it will directly shatter the 2C dream of Ma Boss! If 2C cannot be carried out, Ali's future development space will be greatly reduced!
Boss Ma, who was in despair, really hated Li Mu to the bottom of his heart. He gritted his teeth and scolded Li Mu for doing things too badly. The courier company's strategy of stepping on Taobao is much more vicious than Li Mu's trick!
All business competitions can be summed up in four words: success or failure.
Just when Boss Ma hated Li Mu deeply, Li Mu was at home watching TV with his parents relaxedly.
Parents also know the shocking news of Taobao's sales of 2.683 billion a day. Fortunately, they have witnessed and learned too many shocking things in recent days, and their nerves have long been tempered to be less sensitive.
At this time, Wu Haijun, who was in the hotel, was holding a meeting with the shareholders who had just arrived in Yanjing. Everyone's opinions on getting on Li Mu's car were not uniform. The main reason was that Li Mu's conditions were too harsh. It was too high for shareholders who didn't have enough shares. If they agreed to let Li Mu become a shareholder, their shares would be diluted too much.
Wu Haijun himself supported Li Mu's shareholding, otherwise it would be impossible to call this group of people over overnight, and he would have to reject Li Mu directly. The key is to hope that he can hug Li Mu's thigh, as the PC market blowout is about to take place. Before that, be prepared to profit from it as much as possible.
The opposing faction also has their own theoretical support. They feel 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 be able to profit from it. Moreover, Shenzhou has its own price advantage in the market. When the industry dividends come, they can get huge gains even if they are not in Li Mu's car. Based on this theory, they only promise to let Li Mu invest 20% of the shares at most, and at least they need to match them. With 70% of the cash, the resources and channels in his hand can only cover 30%.
Wu Haijun met with Li Mu once. Li Mu's strength is something these shareholders have never seen before. If he really sells 20% of his shares and asks for 70% in cash to talk to Li Mu, he will probably offend Li Mu directly. .
The negotiation was a stalemate for a while, until Wu Haijun's assistant received the news and whispered Wu Haijun, Wu Haijun suspended the meeting and turned on the TV.
Almost all evening news programs broadcast news related to Taobao, and they all reported the affairs of the three logistics companies in Alibaba, and even included the decisions made by the governments of the two places on the three express companies.
Everyone present was surprised. I didn't expect that Li Mu didn't have to go out. Liu Qidong's few understatements forced Aliba to this point. The response speed of the municipal governments in the two places was also amazing, which shows the influence of Taobao at this stage. How much power.
The predecessor of Shenzhou started as a hardware company. Everyone is familiar with Aliba's B2B business, and even users of its B2B platform. They understand the strength of Aliba, but they did not expect them to be so vulnerable in front of Taobao. .
The atmosphere suddenly became a little dignified.
Wu Haijun was surprisingly relaxed.
He felt that the shareholders present seemed to have begun to re-examine the cooperation with Li Mu in their hearts.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a shareholder said, "I take back what I just said. If President Wu decides to cooperate with Li Mu, I have no opinion."
Immediately, someone responded: "I didn't either..."
