Three in the afternoon.
living room.
In front of Tang Qing sat an African man, Arun Zuma. I met at the Davos reception last year. The South African Zuma family is directly related, and the incoming South African president also has Zuma in his name.
Not surprisingly.
It will remain in that position for the next ten years.
After that.
Whether the successor will continue to support the Hummingbird, Tang Qing does not care, ten years later, no one will be able to move his industry, especially in Africa, the position of the president, change the person, sit the same.
Moreover.
The Zuma family is not muddy.
now.
Alan Zuma was looking at a document, Tang Qing was drinking tea leisurely, and he could explain with the document, but he didn't like to use his mouth. This time, there were too many cooperating partners, and he said one thing a hundred times.
Silly!
"Hummingbird South Africa Branch."
"The parent company is holding."
"The Zuma family invested $200 million, accounting for 45 percent of the company's shares, in addition to taking on local compliance legal issues and helping the company obtain loans."
"land."
"policy."
"Enjoy the most favoured treatment."
"Cooperation to develop large-scale e-commerce."

Just two pages, all key information.
read it.
Alan Zuma rewatched it again,
to hummingbirds.
He was very interested. Same-day delivery, next-day delivery, is an almost impossible thing in South Africa, so it is definitely promising, and it is still possible to cooperate with people like Tang Qing.
rich.
Talented.
There is Huaxia behind it, and there is no blemish personally.
"I take the liberty to ask, how many countries do you plan to establish Hummingbirds in?" Putting down the document, Arun Zuma asked curiously, knowing that currently Hummingbirds are only found in one country in China.
Suddenly.
It's going to go to Africa, it's a bit of a "jump".
"I hope that hummingbirds can serve most of the world's population. As long as hummingbirds are welcomed, we will be happy to enter. South Africa, as the first power in Africa, I am very optimistic about its future."
this.
It does make Aaron Zuma very useful.
in Africa.
In terms of comprehensive strength, South Africa has always played the role of the first brother in Africa. As for Egypt and Algeria in the north, I'm sorry, they are countries in the Arab world.
"thanks."
"I will report to the family as soon as possible. As soon as there is news, I will notify you immediately."
"it is good."
Sit for a while.
Arun Zuma left the villa. Today, Tang Qing's guests will definitely not be the only one. There is no need to waste other people's time.
truth.
He really wanted to sit a little longer.
Even he can't get the single-family villa here. During the forum, cafes, restaurants, and other places where people can gather are almost full. How can there be a lakeside villa clean.
Not to mention dinner parties.
It's okay to have a party.
. . .
Aaron Zuma is gone.
living room.
"How likely is it?" Ma Yun hurriedly asked. He didn't know Alan Zuma before. After all, the other party was mining, and he was doing the Internet, so the two would hardly have any intersection.
What do you think.
Tang Qing looked very familiar.
"Fifty percent."
"Ali's reason?" Ma Yun asked again.
Just now.
Before leaving, Arun Zuma talked about Ali, and vaguely revealed that he personally prefers Amazon's model rather than Ali's pure platform, and the reason is very clear.
——
profit.
The profit of the platform is too low.
this point.
Ma Yun admitted.
Compared with Amazon's model, Ali's profit is indeed not high. If Amazon's model, the same platform sales, the income can be many times more, not a little bit.
"Do not."
Tang Qing shook his head.
"Just leave some leeway."
Ali and Amazon compete for profit.
Complete defeat.
But.
In the end, Zuma will definitely agree to the Ali model, because that person is about to take office. After he takes office, he must consider the scope of South Africa to make more people rich. Therefore, the result is already doomed.
Ali model, they are willing to cooperate.
Amazon model, they probably do it themselves.
"..."
All right.
Ma Yun does not know whether to praise this cautious attitude. If the other party really insists on the self-operated + platform model, will Ali also make changes? At this moment, he was a little confused.
Do.
Against the original intention.
Don't do it.
Don't people do it themselves?
This time, Tang Qing worked so hard to pull Ali, but because Ali insisted on being a platform, he gave up the opportunity to enter South Africa. If he missed it, he might have no chance.
tangled.
At this time.
"What do you want?" Tang Qing asked.
immediately.
Ma Yun said what she thought.
After listening.
Tang Qing laughed.
"Mr. Ma, don't worry, these two models do not conflict. One is widely used for small and medium-sized sellers, and the other is self-operated. Commercially, the latter is obviously more profitable."
"But."
"Our cooperation partners are not completely mercenary businessmen, families, and countries. When their interests are the same, the choices are not the same, and the platform will not be abandoned."
then.
Another analysis of the Zuma family.
moment.
Ma Yun suddenly became enlightened. Yes, many of these families have the power to influence the political situation in the country. They care about money, but they don't care about money completely. At least most of them have the need to do practical things.
otherwise.
Light sucks blood.
Do not feed back.
The voice of the people has long been stinky, and it will not be on that list.
"high."
Ma Yun gave a thumbs up.
"The profit of the platform is not as good as that of the self-operated business. It is a fact. In the past, the logistics could not keep up, but once it is compensated, the self-operated e-commerce will definitely develop rapidly, and they will not lose sight of the opportunity."
"therefore."
"Maybe more than 70% of our partners have the urge to build self-operated e-commerce. I can't dispel their idea, so you have a new problem, whether to expand the business."
After listening.
Ma Yun was silent.
join in.
Avoid.
What a conundrum.
moment.
He glanced at Tang Qing, with that young face, and suddenly grinned, "Mr. Tang, you are Ali's largest shareholder. I will listen to you this time. I support your decision."
At that moment, he realized that he was really stupid.
On vision.
On financial resources.
There is a great god in front of him. With Tang Qing's shares in Ali, he will definitely not harm Ali. If you have time to worry, why not listen to Tang Qing. On the opposite side, hearing this, Tang Qing smiled.
"Ha ha."
"Mr. Ma, it's yours."
"Row."
"I'm overpowering once."
"Ali is a good platform, but it does not prevent investment in self-operated e-commerce. If it really cooperates, Ali is not necessarily the largest shareholder. Therefore, it is not called business transfer, but investment."
"Since it's an investment, it doesn't matter."
"after all."
"The money you make is real, and in the domestic e-commerce field, you can focus on being a platform." Tang Qing said, ten years later, Ma Yun will find out how wise this decision is.
Now.
Many plans have not been fully implemented, and the road ahead is confused.
But.
Tang Qing knew how big a cake this was. As the person who divided the cake, he didn't care how much he shared, and there was no shortage of money. What he wanted was the ability to control the world's commodity circulation.
