Chapter 2244: Rushing
Lao Ma was a little embarrassed, "I really didn't expect this to happen. I didn't expect them to be so positive all of a sudden."
"But Yiping, this is a good thing, right?"
"Of course I know this is a good thing," Feng Yiping took out the things that had just been stuffed into the box, "But, could you tell me earlier, even a few minutes ago?"
If you don't keep your promise the first time, the little girl can still forgive you, then when you apologize for breaking your promise the first time, you can't do what you promised to do the second time, then it will be really difficult for her to forgive you.
But Feng Yiping knows the difference between the important and the unimportant. So many bosses of the express company came to the door, but you were not there, just because you wanted to go home to play with your daughter, otherwise she might not forgive you?
Such a plot may appear in movies and TV dramas, but it is impossible to happen in reality.
After listening to Feng Yiping's words, Lao Ma laughed, "What can I do, it's just too coincidental,"
Feng Yiping rolled his eyes at him, I believed you.
"I'll call Jingping first," he said.
"Do you want me to help explain a few words?" Lao Ma said.
Feng Yiping easily saw the gloating that Lao Ma couldn't hide, "No, I have a good credit," he had already called Huang Jingping, "Jingping, this is it..."
A few minutes later, Lao Ma smiled and asked Feng Yiping, who had changed his clothes, "Have you explained it?"
"Yes," Feng Yiping didn't want to talk to him about it.
Whimsing and whining, that's a bit like a woman, in the future, find a good opportunity to trick Lao Ma again, that's the right way.
"I think it's best for us to explain to them once and for all, so that they know why we set up Cainiao, why we hope they will invest in Cainiao, and more importantly, explain to them why we hope to invest in their company," Feng Yiping said.
Those express delivery companies, who were obviously reluctant to accept investment a few days ago, are now so eager. Feng Yiping doesn't know what kind of mental journey they have gone through between these two opposite performances.
But he roughly understood that they changed from negative to very positive so quickly, and most of them still had doubts, that is, if they did not accept the investment, it might affect the future cooperation with e-commerce, that is, affect the business.
But the partners of e-commerce are not only these express delivery companies, but also so many merchants who opened stores on the two platforms.
If such rumors spread, it would naturally make many merchants have bad associations, "In the future, do we have to accept investment from Jiasheng Ali, or Feng Yiping, so that the business can be guaranteed?"
Therefore, it is very necessary to dispel their concerns.
If they want to accept investment, it is best to be happy, not under the situation of feeling threatened.
Speaking of business, Lao Ma immediately became serious, "Although I believe that the reason why they are so positive is mainly because their alliance, which seems to be very tacit, has already cracked, and some partners have accepted our proposal,"
"But you are right, we should reiterate our original intention again. I think it is best to do this. The two of us separate, I talk once, and you reiterate it again, okay?"
"This is very appropriate," Feng Yiping said immediately.
…………
Facts have proved that Feng Yiping and his team's guess was very accurate. The reason why these CEOs came one after another after General Manager Yu was that they were really worried that in the future, Jiasheng Ali would be different in terms of closeness and distance.
Although Feng Yiping and his team had repeatedly reiterated that this would not happen, they also repeatedly affirmed that they completely "believed" that Feng Yiping and his team would not do this.
But as the saying goes, we usually say something when we lack something, so when everyone is full of "belief", in fact, no one really believes it.
This is not that they don't believe Feng Yiping, but there are too many intrigues in the business world. If they rely on such "belief" to make decisions, then none of them would be able to get to where they are today.
When talking to Mr. Nie, Feng Yiping reiterated, "Mr. Nie, I don't mean anything by saying this, but I ask you to believe that both I and my company have no shortage of investment opportunities,"
"And I personally hate trouble the most. To be honest, I am really not interested in that kind of insincere cooperation,"
"I also understand the concerns of you and other CEOs, but I can solemnly assure you that we will do what we say,"
"I also understand that there are too many intrigues in the business world, but I can say responsibly that is what your previous partners would do. We will never say one thing in front of you and another behind your back. The latter set,"
"If I have that mind and energy, why don't I use it to develop some new projects?"
Mr. Nie smiled, but his smile was somewhat bitter, "Mr. Feng, even if I still had some doubts before, after listening to what you said, I absolutely believe your promise,"
"Sorry, we may have been a little mean-spirited..."
Feng Yiping waved his hand to interrupt him, "No, I understand, in the business world, we must always be cautious, I understand,"
Not everyone, let alone all companies, can be as tough as him, so with the changing times, it is inevitable that some people and some companies will abandon their original promises without hesitation.
"It's good that you can understand. We won't talk about the past. Now I feel that it is very necessary to introduce strategic investment like Mr. Feng. In fact, I believed from the beginning that Mr. Feng's investment in my company would definitely bring many positive changes to me and the company."
"The reason why I hesitated at that time was because, to be honest, when I accepted a strong partner to join my company that I had built up by myself..."
"I completely understand," Feng Yiping interrupted him again, "We also grew up slowly from a small company."
Faced with such a situation, many people's first reaction is to worry whether it will take over the main business in the future?
"After having a deep conversation with Mr. Ma and now Mr. Feng, I am very happy to accept the investment. I want to give 10% of my company's shares. I wonder what Mr. Feng thinks?"
To be honest, if Mr. Yu hadn't acted so quickly, they might have hesitated for a longer period of time.
No matter how Feng Yiping and others reiterated, it was the safest operation for them to follow up in time when someone took action.
Feng Yiping held out his hand, "Of course we are happy to do so,"
"Also, Mr. Feng," Mr. Nie also smiled, "We have noticed that the overseas channels of Jiasheng Mall have been well built, so we hope that in the future, we can also contribute to our e-commerce in terms of international express delivery,"
Sure enough, everyone saw this piece of cake.
This is actually not surprising.
In 2003 and 2004, international express delivery even accounted for more than 55% of the entire express delivery market, which is more than half of the share.
In the past two years, with the sharp increase in domestic express delivery business volume, the proportion of international express delivery has dropped significantly, but compared with the past, the total volume has also increased. Moreover, the profits of international express delivery have always been controlled by international express delivery giants, so it is a piece of cake with thick cream.
"No problem," Feng Yiping said with a smile.
…………
"Three days ago, a press conference was just held, and today it is held again. Three days ago, one company invested in the press conference, and today's press conference, five companies invested. Will this give the outside world an impression that we do things without any rules?" When checking the preparations for the press conference with Feng Yiping, Lao Ma said with some emotion.
Although the intention to invest in various companies has been reached, that work cannot be completed quickly. The assets of each company must be valued first, so the first conference held is still the press conference of the other five investment rookies.
"It's a bit unfair to say that," Feng Yiping said.
Lao Ma looked around, "I mainly think that when we took the initiative to invest, they were not happy. Now that we are not active, they are rushing to let us invest. To be honest, this really makes me want to laugh,"
Feng Yiping shook his head, Lao Ma's mouth.
At this time, the phone rang, and he gestured to Lao Ma, "Teacher Zhou,"
"Yiping, I have a news for you. Based on your prediction, the above finally denied the investment that the Foreign Exchange Investment Company (i.e. China Investment Corporation) was planning,"
"It doesn't matter if I tell you specifically. Huitou originally planned to invest $3 billion in Blackstone before its IPO next month,"
"I hope this news will make you happy,"
