Chapter 1881: Alliance

"Mr. Nie, welcome, welcome," "Mr. Lai, I can tell from your look that you must have had a good year," "Mr. Chen, come in,"

Zhang Bixing stood at the door of the top floor suite of the Holiday Inn with a smile on his face, like a small boss soliciting customers for his own restaurant, and enthusiastically welcomed these express delivery bosses who all came from the Fuchun River into the house belonging to Feng Yiping.

"Mr. Zhang, why are you smiling so happily, but I am a little nervous?" Mr. Chen shook Zhang Bixing's hand and said as they walked.

"Don't say it, sometimes I am also annoyed by this problem. Why do I smile so ugly? But there is no way, Mr. Chen, I look like this, and it's too late to go back to the furnace and retrain," Zhang Bixing responded humorously to Mr. Chen's words.

"Why didn't Mr. Zhang go with Mr. Feng when he went to South Korea two days ago?" Mr. Chen's sister, who was later hailed as the woman behind the express delivery boss, the real boss of the express delivery industry, also made a joke.

In Korea, the plastic surgery industry is well developed, and everyone knows this now.

"Haha, I didn't expect it this time, but next time, I will definitely go with you,"

"Then don't forget to call me, if you, Mr. Zhang, have to go to Korea, I have to go even more,"

Women are always more delicate, and even when joking, they are worried that people will feel unhappy, so they followed and made fun of themselves.

"Mr. Chen, if you go, you can only be used as a template," Zhang Bixing immediately complimented a little, "Boss, please sit down,"

The girl in uniform next to them quickly served everyone a variety of drinks.

"I heard that this is Mr. Feng's home here?" Mr. Zhan looked at the layout of the room with some curiosity.

"Yes, Mr. Feng lived here when he came to the east," Zhang Bixing said.

"Haha, we are really honored today," Mr. Nie was also very interested.

"It can be regarded as entering the house," Mr. Lai said.

Here, these big guys who have deep ties with each other, but whose relationship is really not very harmonious, still showed the appropriate temperament.

"Thank you for your kindness. It's the first month of the year. I'm lucky to have you all together. We have to find a place that's worthy of you all," Zhang Bixing said. "Thank you all for your support to our Jiasheng these days."

"Where?" "I dare not," several people said modestly.

"Mr. Zhang, you may not know that these days, the brothers below are very angry after reading the nonsense on the Internet. Many of our colleagues spontaneously went online to curse those guys. You must tell Mr. Feng that we all support him," Mr. Chen talked about the hot events of the past two days.

"Don't take it to heart, Mr. Feng. Really, I think those fabricated words are not worth taking to heart at all," said the female Ms. Chen.

"Yes, our country is like this. If you do something and have some fame, you will always be hated. Don't take it to heart, Mr. Feng,"

The others also expressed their opinions on this matter, and naturally expressed their support for Feng Yiping.

"Thank you, thank you for your concern and support. Mr. Feng has already come up with a solution for this matter. Just wait and see. Every time we are slandered, every time we are defamed, it is our opportunity and will take us to the next level," Zhang Bixing said.

This sounded a bit domineering, and the expressions of those people were different.

Zhang Bixing has always been very low-key when dealing with them, and never boasted. Since he said so this time, then next, things will definitely be like what he said.

Be low-key when you should be low-key, and don't shrink when you should be high-profile. This is the foundation.

"Yes, of course it is so," "It should be so," said several people who once again felt the strength of Jiasheng.

After a few more pleasantries, Mr. Nie took the lead in asking Zhang Bixing's intention, "Mr. Zhang, this time you invited us here, and also invited us to Mr. Feng's house. Could it be that Mr. Feng has something good to help us?"

"Could it be that Mr. Feng is here today?" Mr. Chen said, and everyone immediately looked back at the closed doors around them, and they were all a little excited.

At this time, although they have achieved some success, the gap between them and Feng Yiping is naturally not reasonable. It is really an honor to meet Feng Yiping.

"Mr. Feng originally wanted to sit down with you guys, but unfortunately, I received a notice that a leader was going to inspect the industrial park in his hometown," Zhang Bixing explained, "He asked me to apologize to everyone,"

"Not really, Mr. Feng is so busy, we can understand that he thinks of us,"

"Which leader is going to Wuli'ao for inspection?" Mr. Zhan asked.

"Mr. Feng's provincial leaders,"

"Oh," the others understood a little, provincial leaders, naturally it is not good to neglect.

Zhang Bixing saw their little emotions and added, "Mr. Feng's provincial secretaries and senior officials will come to our industrial park in Wuli'ao together tomorrow to inspect,"

"The top two leaders? Together?" Now, no one was still leaning on the sofa, and everyone sat up straight at once.

It must be said that domestic entrepreneurs are absolutely sensitive in this regard.

Just now Zhang Bixing directly mentioned the provincial leaders, and they still had no idea, or rather, they might have some small opinions, and might feel somewhat slighted. It was just a provincial leader over there - probably not a full-time position like secretary or senior official, otherwise they wouldn't have mentioned the provincial leader in general.

And here, the heads of our families were all gathered together.

But now after listening to Zhang Bixing's explanation, I was shocked. The reason why he said that was just because of Jiasheng's usual low-key style. This provincial leader was actually the top leader and the second-in-command of a province.

It is possible that the top leader and the second-in-command of a province went to inspect a place together, but it is definitely rare.

What does this mean? This naturally means their support for Feng Yiping.

While being shocked, these people were inevitably quite envious at this time. Feng Yiping, as expected, was Feng Yiping. He was just a little wronged, and a leader of that level comforted him like that.

Think about this group of people. Let alone getting such a high-level leader and such rare support, it is difficult for them to admit it now.

Because of the relevant legal issues, the not-so-small businesses under their names still have no identity at this time, which is equivalent to being an illegal household.

Look at Feng Yiping again.

Tsk, comparing the two, it is really true that people will die if compared with people, and goods will be thrown away if compared with goods.

"Yes, so Mr. Feng hurried back. He also told me that he was very happy to meet with everyone. Of course, this mainly depends on whether everyone can spare the time,"

"You must be able to spare the time," said Mr. Lai.

"I would like to thank you all on behalf of Mr. Feng. However, although Mr. Feng is not here today, there is still an old friend who will come with me to entertain all the bosses," Zhang Bixing looked at his watch, "He should be here soon,"

"Old friend?"

"Yes, speaking of it, he is also your fellow countryman,"

"Oh,"

After Zhang Bixing said this, it was immediately clear who that person was.

Just at this time, someone pushed the door in, it was Lao Ma.

He has gradually stopped wearing a suit, wearing a sweater, and rolled up his sleeves, as if he was at home here, "Happy New Year, bosses!"

"Mr. Ma, Happy New Year,"

Although they guessed it was him, everyone was a little surprised at this time.

It stands to reason that although Jiasheng and Alibaba have cooperation, they should also be in a competitive relationship. Why do Lao Ma and Zhang Bixing look like outsiders today?

Is it really the same as everyone thinks?

"Mr. Ma, you guys?" Mr. Nie pointed at Lao Ma and Zhang Bixing.

"Yes, we, Alibaba and Jiasheng, are going to unite," Lao Ma said without hesitation.

This was not too unexpected news, and it made the bosses feel a little, how should I put it, a little uncomfortable.

They are in the same industry, and we are also in the same industry, but, do you see what they are doing?

They are joining forces, and we are undermining...

"This news will not be made public until a few days later, and please keep it secret for us for the time being," Lao Ma said.

"Of course, congratulations on your strong union," "Great plans," the others congratulated.

"Thank you, but we invited several CEOs here today to talk about another union," Lao Ma rolled up his sleeves again, put the folder in his hand on the coffee table, and did not sit down himself, walking around the sofas and talking.

"What we want to talk about today is the union with everyone present," he said.

There was a bit of a cold moment.

Since the beginning of their establishment, these CEOs have been facing fierce competition from their fellow townsmen and peers, or relatives and friends, so they are quite sensitive to what Lao Ma said.

The cooperation between Jiasheng and your Alibaba should be Jiasheng's acquisition of Alibaba. So do you think your cooperation with us is to recruit us?

"The reason why we invited everyone here is because we all know that our e-commerce cannot do without express delivery. The previous Alibaba and Jiasheng could not do without your support. The merged Alibaba and Jiasheng cannot do without your support even more,"

"We are mutually dependent, and express delivery is the brother of our e-commerce," Lao Ma said.

Those people by the Fuchun River relaxed at this time. This does not sound like an acquisition, which is good.

"Yiping and I both think that e-commerce will be the future," Lao Ma's face was filled with a strange glow at this time, and it looked like he was preaching.

"This future does not only mean that e-commerce will be our main shopping channel in the future, but also that e-commerce will provide all-round services to all aspects of our daily lives,"

"All aspects, not only food, clothing, housing, transportation, but also education, work, entrepreneurship, financial management..., we will be involved in everything that everyone needs in life,"

He pointed at himself with one hand and at the bigwigs in the express delivery industry with the other hand, "Based on the relationship between e-commerce and express delivery, from this perspective, the future is also the future of the express delivery industry,"

"You are all experts, can you roughly predict how big our express delivery market will be this year?" Lao Ma suddenly stopped and asked a question.

"Last year, it was close to 700 million pieces, and the total market was close to 20 billion, an increase of nearly 21% compared to the previous year," General Manager Nie reported a series of data very smoothly.

Then he took a rare look at his current colleagues, relatives and friends in the past, and fellow townsmen, obviously asking for opinions.

"Given the big move of Alibaba and Forex, and given the ambitions of Mr. Feng and Mr. Ma in the e-commerce field, we believe that it is not a problem to grow at least 25% this year compared to last year, that is, at least more than 850 million,"

"No, we believe that this year, conservatively estimated, the volume of the express delivery market will be more than 1 billion pieces. Mr. Chen, I promise to make up for the 150 million pieces you mentioned," said Lao Ma proudly.

But what he mainly said was not this. Looking at the CEOs who were somewhat unconvinced, he said, "Why, is 1 billion pieces a year a lot? What if I say that there will be 100 million packages or even 1 billion packages in the future?"

Well, Lao Ma is always a bit of a big mouth.

The men and women over there were shaking their heads at this time. Let alone 1 billion pieces a day, even if they said 100 million pieces a day, it would exceed 36 billion pieces a year. How is that possible?

On average, each person in the country will send and receive nearly 30 packages a year?

"Believe me, these goals will definitely be achieved. The future we are talking about is our future in the world."

It seems that it is not impossible to say so?

In recent years, international business has always accounted for nearly 30% of our total express delivery business.

If we develop more corporate businesses for external sales, it is really hard to say how much growth there will be.

"This is the future that Yiping and I will guarantee," Lao Ma continued.

Well, he endorsed Feng Yiping without Feng Yiping's knowledge.

"Of course, this future is based on many prerequisites. The most direct and urgent ones are two: one is speeding up, and the other is price reduction." Old Ma put his hands on the sofa and looked at the CEOs opposite him with a sharp gaze. "So everyone, let's discuss this?"
