Chapter 2751 Landing
This evening, it was Feng Yiping's turn to greet the other two at the restaurant entrance. After all, the e-commerce project was mainly based on him.
This was a Western restaurant chosen by Marika, and it was of course very high-end.
The British palace-style building was quite old, especially the environment was particularly good, with spectacular lawns and gardens.
The waiters in white uniforms stood quietly in front of the door and under the corridor. Under the lights, everything looked very much like the scene in the aristocratic courtyard of the last century, luxurious and solemn.
However, walking a few dozen meters outside the courtyard, it was the street, with the unique noise and cross-dimensionality of India, pedestrians, bicycles, tuk-tuks, taxis that were old enough to almost enter a museum, the latest luxury cars... just moving in an orderly manner in chaos.
Of course, there were also those unscrupulous cows.
So, with such traffic conditions, express delivery will be a problem in the future.
It would be quite difficult for the courier brothers in India in the future to earn more than 10,000 or tens of thousands of yuan a month like some of our domestic courier brothers.
Due to traffic conditions, it is difficult for them to serve as many customers as our domestic counterparts.
This means that in India, if you want to improve everyone's online shopping experience, you need more couriers.
Think about the worse traffic facilities in other parts of India, and this problem is even bigger.
Will India's airspace control be looser than ours? If so, then this place may be more suitable for drones.
Just as Feng Yiping was thinking, a convoy drove in. The one who got out of the Mercedes-Benz was Ratan Tata, who looked darker under the lights. Oh, he should buy Jaguar Land Rover from General Motors next year.
Should I get involved?
Think about the madness of some Land Rover cars in China later, and even pay 200,000 or 300,000 yuan to buy one. He thinks this matter should be considered.
However, how to operate it still needs to be considered.
Because Tesla has set the flag of clean energy so high, and then invests in fuel vehicles?
I just want to make the transition from fuel vehicles to pure electric vehicles as soon as possible? This reason seems not sufficient.
Thinking this way, he greeted Bin Laden with a smile, "Welcome, welcome!"
"Feng, I have to thank you," Bin Laden hugged him heavily, "I finally finished dealing with Lehman's bonds in advance,"
"Your vision and analytical ability are even more admirable. You should know the fate of Dick Fuld's company better than he does," he smiled and looked at Feng Yiping carefully, "This is really an enviable ability,"
"Haha," Feng Yiping smiled, "That's just because I care more about these things than you do. You know, I also studied finance,"
"There are too many people studying finance, but I believe there will be no second one in the world as outstanding as you," Bin Laden praised.
At this time, another convoy drove in, and Ambani hugged Feng Yiping more enthusiastically than last time. Feng Yiping could still feel that this time, his enthusiasm was close.
This is because he has regarded him as a partner, or because he has changed his attitude towards him again after seeing Feng Yiping's strength.
In a sense, the business world is indeed like a battlefield. Even if there is a lot of information for reference, it is often difficult to clearly predict the future direction.
And those so-called experts saw a general direction, which was already very good.
But even if they saw some directions, they would definitely express it in a panacea way, "This is the most likely, of course, because...so it is not ruled out...therefore, that is also possible, and..."
There has never been a person like Feng Yiping who can see so accurately, and is so confident and determined.
A person with such vision and judgment, and such strength, can he not do anything he wants to do?
So as soon as they sat down, the three of them first toasted to become partners. They were all very happy to become Feng Yiping's business partner.
"Feng, we did a survey on the e-commerce market in India, but I want to say that this will be a market with a big gap compared to China. China's Internet users are already the world's first, but India's computer and network penetration rate is still a lot behind China," Ambani said.
He said this, probably considering whether it is the right time to launch such a project at this time.
"You two can take a look at this," Feng Yiping smiled and took out a mobile phone from his pocket.
"What is this?"
It has a similar appearance to the iPhone, but it is not an iPhone.
"This is a smartphone that will be released later this month, the first smartphone equipped with the Android system," Feng Yiping said.
Ambani and Ladan took turns to look at it and said, "Congratulations, Feng,"
They all knew that Android was a product of Feng Yiping's company.
"Starting from the second half of this year, there will be nearly ten companies that will release smartphones equipped with the Android system. It is expected that there will be more such companies next year,"
"That is, in the future, more and more mobile phone users will switch to similar smartphones,"
"In the field of communications, Ambani, you know it best. 3G is becoming more and more popular, and the arrival of the 4G era is also getting faster and faster,"
Ambani asked, "What do you mean..."
Feng Yiping nodded, "Yes, I think within a few years, the way we count Internet users will no longer be based on computer terminals and users with broadband installations, but mainly on smartphone users."
"In other words, including in India, there will be many people who will directly skip computers and broadband and become Internet users through smartphones?" Bin Laden concluded.
"Yes, this trend should be faster than we expected," Feng Yiping said. "Although eBay and Amazon are currently developing very averagely in India, if we don't enter the market now, then , will most likely become a chaser in this market,”
Ambani nodded immediately, "Then let's take action as soon as possible, but before that, Bin Laden, shouldn't we clarify the shares between us?"
If Feng Yiping's words were not verified, he would naturally object to Feng Yiping's request for a controlling stake. Now, he has no such idea at all.
Partners like Feng Yiping are irreplaceable, but he and his company are not.
"Considering Reliance Group's advantages in the telecommunications field, I think our shareholding of 30% is a very appropriate proportion,"
Bin Laden smiled and said, "I think, considering the Tata Group's foundation in India, I think we should account for at least 30%,"
The two sides argued back and forth for several rounds. Feng Yiping kept watching with a smile, and then interrupted at the right time, "I think, why don't you two share it equally?"
Bin Laden thought for a moment, smiled and spread his hands, "I have no objection."
Ambani didn't hesitate much, "I respect Feng's opinion,"
"Then let me raise a glass and wish us success," Feng Yiping suggested.
Listening to the clear clinking of glasses, he thought to himself, these two are really good people.
Because he saw the importance he attached to equity, or in other words, he saw that he was worried that the two of them would join forces to exclude him, a non-Indian, so he acted in a tacit understanding.
"I have deployed a dedicated team from my e-commerce company. As long as the conditions here are met, they can arrive within 12 hours and get to work immediately,"
The two looked at each other, and it turned out that Feng Yiping had already prepared all this.
Therefore, he should be so thorough in everything and always be in the lead.
"The advance preparations are very simple," Bin Laden said. "I think both of us have office space that can be used by the preparation team."
"Reliance can free up a building very quickly," Ambani also said.
"In that case, should I ask them to come over as soon as possible?" Feng Yiping said.
The three of them have just set the general direction, but there are still many details that require further consultation.
For example, if it is also a share, there are still many issues that need further discussion.
Even if IPO is not considered, their shares will definitely be diluted in the future, because at least options must be given to the management team.
Similarly, it is not impossible to introduce other third-party investments in the future. How the three of them will be allocated by then will need to be carefully discussed.
There are also the express delivery issues that Feng Yiping was worried about just now, and the payment market that Feng Yiping is also interested in...
There are too many specific issues that need to be negotiated by specific managers from the three parties.
"We are extremely welcome," Bin Laden said.
