Chapter 1670 Guess
delivery point.
Even though it was very cold at the distribution point, many journalists could not stand the cold overnight.
But at this time, no one felt cold. Some words of Li Dong made their imaginations run wild.
This is also the first time Li Dong has bluntly stated that Yuanfang wants to guide this industry.
In addition, although Li Dong said something simple, if it was spread, it would cause an uproar.
Eliminate middlemen and agents, reduce intermediate costs, Li Dong just said a few words, but these words will make many companies worry when they are heard.
The reporters wanted to ask questions, but Li Dong looked at the time and said, "In fact, I still have a lot to say, but today's time is too late, let's talk later.
Tomorrow I have to continue delivering and take some time off.
However, Double Eleven is not a pure e-commerce competition, and many things will be decided in the future.
If you can hold on, you might as well stay in Bincheng for a few more days. "
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the reporters lit up!
Something else is coming!
Sure enough, there is big news after Brother Pao, what news will it be next?
Enter the big business?
Acquisition of treasure?
Or something else?
At this time, the reporters were no longer sleepy or tired, and they all felt like cats scratching their heads, eager to ask immediately, what is going to happen?
But they were not sleepy, but Li Dong was really sleepy.
What's more, he doesn't want to talk about it now, so let them guess by throwing out some introductions first.
...
On the morning of the 11th, Li Dong was still sleeping.
But on the Internet, there are news about distant places everywhere.
As of 8 o'clock in the morning, the total transaction volume of Yuanfang Mall exceeded 42 billion!
And several other platforms,
Small platforms have not released data, including JD.com has not released data.
Ketao, however, released the data.
As of 8:00 in the morning, the total transaction volume of Dibao reached 700 million.
With Yuanfang seizing so much market share, Dibao can still achieve a score of 700 million, which is definitely not bad.
But compared with Yuanfang, it's not even a fraction of the other party.
For a while, the discussion about the decline of Treasure also became the center of discussion.
And some words of Li Dong's interview last night were also reported by the media.
One of them, although Li Dong didn't say it directly, was still pointed out by the media.
In the early days of e-commerce development, Ali contributed to China's e-commerce development, an undeniable contribution.
But now, Su Lin accuses Yuanfang of being a cancer, but Li Dong is saying that Treasure is a cancer for the C2C field.
Because of the laissez-faire and weak supervision of Taobao, this field has been questioned by the public, its credibility has declined, and the industry's overall environment has been damaged.
Faced with these accusations, as well as the overtaking of Dibao's performance, and the overtaking of the entire C2C by B2C, many people feel that Dibao has to bear the responsibility.
If it is a small and medium-sized platform, then everyone will not talk about it.
Ketabao is the leader in the industry, from 2005 to 2008, it has always been!
In the past few years, the online shopping market has officially entered the public eye. At this time, as a leader, I enjoy more and more responsibilities.
The environment has been damaged, and the C2C platform has been questioned. Dibao cannot shirk these responsibilities.
...
Faced with accusations on the Internet, many people in Ali were indignant.
Lin'an.
Ali headquarters.
Early in the morning, a denunciation war broke out in the conference room.
An Ali executive scolded angrily: "Li Dong is talking nonsense!
Who can achieve perfection in the early stage of industry development?
Online shopping appeared in China for a very short time. There were indeed many problems in the early days, but is this the responsibility of a company?
We are also crossing the river by feeling the stones, and there are some problems in the development process, which is very normal!
And Ali has been changing, hasn't he seen the efforts we have made for it?
It's a loss of style to chase after a little bit!
Chairman, this matter must not be let go, once a storm of public opinion forms, the situation of digging treasures will be even more difficult!
Li Dong was talking nonsense in front of the media. Since he said that he should bear the responsibility, he should also bear the responsibility for slandering Ali and Tiaobao!
We can accept the failure of enterprises to compete legitimately.
But we can slander us out of thin air and let us bear responsibilities that we shouldn't bear. I can't accept this! "
"Yes, Chairman, this has nothing to do with commercial competition.
It is unfair for Li Dong to blame Ali for the problems in the C2C field!
After the decline of eBay, digging out treasures is the leader, but being a pioneer also means that the blind man feels the elephant. We can only go forward step by step and walk out a road that no one else has taken.
Ali's contribution in the field of e-commerce can be denied by Li Dong alone? "
Ma Yun said lightly: "He didn't deny this."
"Yes, he didn't deny it, but he weakened his contribution and magnified his flaws. This is a fact!"
Ma Yun gently rubbed his temples, and after a while he said: "Is there any point in saying this now?
How can we pursue it?
In the past two years, the C2C platform has indeed experienced many disadvantages, which, I have to say, we are also responsible for.
In the later period, in order to expand the group of settled merchants, there were indeed many problems in the review.
Any merchant can settle in Taobao, including some brand-name products.
In fact, these, we can still do supervision.
Brand products, who are the agents, and what are the direct sales stores, can't we find out?
can be found!
But have we checked?
No!
The lax supervision of the platform has led to a large number of counterfeit and shoddy products flowing into the market. Can this responsibility be shirked? "
Ma Yun said, and said: "In the past few years, the major brand manufacturers have been very dissatisfied with us.
It's okay for one family to dominate, everyone has no choice.
When the distant place appeared, everyone had another choice, didn't you see it yourself?
Because these problems were laissez-faire in the early stage, a large number of brand manufacturers would rather give up profits and cooperate with distant parties than cooperate with us.
Some brand owners even publicly declared that all their brands on Taobao are fakes, but there are still a large number of these brands on Taobao. Can you accuse the other party of not cooperating with us and giving up on us?
There must be a cause and an effect, and there are some things, once done, there is no need to lie to yourself. "
Today's Ma Yun looks very calm, and he is not afraid to speak directly.
It is precisely because Dibao does not deal with these problems and does not supervise them that Yuanfang grows bigger and bigger.
But it was actually very difficult to stop the treasure hunting at that time.
In order to defeat eBay in 2005, Treasure had to be done.
In 2007, in order to go public and achieve performance, I had to do it.
Yuanfang became bigger in 2008, and people were motivated. At this time, Dibao was almost forced to continue to expand its scale and appease merchants. It was too late and impossible to do these things.
It's the same now!
Now dig out treasures to reform and do it, and it will be the same as in the distance.
It is no different from the distance, why do merchants and consumers choose to pay for treasure?
Compared with the credibility of the two companies, at least Yuanfang is stronger and its various systems are more complete, so it is naturally best to choose Yuanfang.
At this time, it's not that the treasure will not change, but that it can't be changed at all.
If there is no distance at this time, then Treasure can be changed slowly, but now it cannot be changed.
When Ma Yun said that, the others became a little quieter.
After a while, someone said helplessly, "Then what should we do now?
This time Double Eleven invested so much, the result was not as good as 7.18.
In addition, there are many follow-up actions in Yuanfang Mall. If this continues, Dibao will definitely be seized by Yuanfang in terms of market share.
Now, if we want to continue to fight, we have to spend a lot of money, be willing to spend money, and vigorously transform and dig treasures.
Including our after-sales service, credit system establishment, logistics laying...
We have to do all of these, so as not to be left behind by the distance.
Otherwise, this distance will become larger and larger. "
Ma Yun looked at him and said, "We all know this, but how much should we invest?"
Everyone was speechless.
Cai Chongxin, who didn't say much, glanced at Lu Zhaoxi, who said softly: "If you want to keep up with the pace of Yuanfang, an investment of 3 billion is the starting point, and more than 5 billion can be competitive.
If you want to go beyond, you need to invest more.
Moreover, it is very difficult to go beyond simply relying on the transformation of treasures, including the cooperation of other fields, which also requires more investment..."
"5 billion!"
Many people took a deep breath. For Ali, the annual profit is less than 2 billion. This investment has been profitable for several years.
Is it really cost-effective to catch up with the pace of the distance now?
Lu Zhaoxi continued: "The speed of development of the online shopping market is obvious to all, even if most of the market has been seized by Yuanfang, it is still very promising.
Li Dong also said last night that this market will continue to expand, there is no doubt about it.
The emergence of 3G network has led to the rise of the mobile Internet and a large increase in consumer groups.
In the past, the user group of online shopping was only tens of millions, but in the next few years, this group will expand ten times, or even dozens of times.
It is almost impossible for the Yuanfang family to completely monopolize this field.
If we continue to do so, there is still a prospect for Dibao.
After all, our foundation is still there, and if we make some reforms, even if we can't keep up with the distance, we will surpass other platforms..."
Cai Chongxin frowned slightly and said: "It seems that you have now positioned Dibao as a platform in the second-tier field."
Lu Zhaoxi said bitterly: "It's not counted as the second line, it's just that we can't continue to compete with Yuanfang.
It's not that we don't want to fight, but the development of any enterprise or industry cannot do without resources such as capital, technology, and talents.
Today, there is not enough funds for digging treasures, and the technical reserves have surpassed us after Yuanfang took down Teng Xun.
In terms of talents, Yuanfang has recruited a large number of cutting-edge talents in recent years. Li Dong attaches great importance to these high-tech talents and pays them better than us.
Moreover, he also cooperates with the army. Some technical talents retired from the military, after retirement, many choose to go to distant places. "
In China, top IT talents are not limited to a few big companies.
In fact, the talents of enterprises are definitely not as many as the government reserves.
On the military side, there are more cutting-edge talents concentrated!
Usually these people may not be well-known, but everyone in the industry knows that these people are no worse than people in any company.
There are more cooperations between distant places and the military, including receiving a large number of veterans into distant places.
There is cooperation between the two parties, and Yuanfang is not a small business. Now some elites who have retired from the army, including some retired veterans, many of them have chosen to join Yuanfang and continue to work.
In this regard, Ali is not as good as Yuanfang.
This also led to Dibao being weaker than Yuanfang in almost all aspects.
This is in terms of hard power. If an enterprise wants to grow bigger, it must have innovation and creativity.
Ali actually did a good job at first, but the far side did better, and rarely took detours, which suddenly put Ali away from the distance.
In this case, even if they don't want to admit it, everyone knows that it is too difficult to catch up with the distance.
Now it has been overtaken by so many, even though it is a promotion day, it will usher in a development period in the future, so it is not necessarily the case for Treasure.
The number one position may never be regained after this time, and everyone is mentally prepared for this.
After Lu Zhaoxi finished speaking, Ma Yun said indifferently: "Li Dapao said, whether to surrender or kill all the treasures, are you sure he will give us time and opportunity?"
"Too much deceit!"
Someone couldn't help shouting: "Li Dongzhen regards himself as an emperor?
Those who obey will prosper, those who rebel will perish, how can there be such a reason!
We do ours, he does his, insisting on staring at us all the time, how overbearing! "
Lu Zhaoxi's words were actually close to admitting defeat and surrendering.
Not to compete with Yuanfang for supremacy, but to keep the second place, Ali still has this strength.
Everyone was unwilling to return, but many people also recognized his words. In this way, the competition will be much smaller.
But what Ma Yun now means is that Li Dong will either include Tbao, or continue to suppress it, which has aroused the indignation of countless people in an instant.
Too much deception!
Yuanfang continues to suppress Taobao, Ali loses, but Yuanfang has no loss?
This method of losing both sides is not the norm in business.
Ma Yun smiled when he heard the words, pressed his hands to signal him to sit down, and continued: "It's not the first day that he is domineering, and those who obey will prosper and those who oppose will perish, and it's not just today.
He has had the idea of digging out treasures for a long time, and after such a long time, it has almost become his obsession.
Although Wanjiawang played well today, its background is much worse than that of Dibao.
He himself said that he does not want to see shortcomings in the e-commerce field. C2C is much weaker than B2C, which is not the result he wants.
He is also determined to win the treasure.
Whether we are willing or not, as long as the treasure is in our hands, he will not give up.
Unless, when Wanjia.com grows so big that it doesn't need to pay for treasure, then Li Dong probably won't target us.
Otherwise, being targeted is inevitable..."
"Chairman, what do you mean..."
Someone had heard something, couldn't help but looked at Ma Yun and asked.
Ma Yun leaned on the chair, tapped on the table lightly, and said after a while: "Keep waiting, doesn't he still have something to say?
I'll make a decision when he's done talking.
He said before that this is a unified war, a retail unified war. I waited all night last night, but I didn't see how to unify.
Even if he was invincible online, what about offline?
So keep watching, maybe he'll make another move today.
By the way, keeping an eye on Dashang, if you want to talk about big moves, the possibility of becoming the master of Dashang is the greatest.
If Yuanfang has completed the feat of becoming a major merchant, the offline retail market in the central and northern regions will be occupied by Yuanfang for 80%.
Only the southern coastal areas are left. At that time, even if we continue to do it, the future prospects are not very clear.
These days, I have been thinking about the future of online shopping?
The combination of online and offline should be a major trend.
But now the distance has blocked the offline road and didn't give us this chance.
If it is really taken over by Dashang from afar..."
Ma Yun rubbed his temples again, pondered for a moment and said: "Let's wait and see, now, I can't predict."
When he said that, Cai Chongxin said: "Do I need to remind Boss Niu?"
Ma Yun shook his head and said: "It's not that Niu Gang doesn't know, it doesn't matter if you remind him or not, Li Dong really needs to have a backup, and it's too late to remind him now.
Once the big business falls into the hands of Yuanfang, who else can compete with Yuanfang as an offline retail enterprise?
Unless...unless the distance itself collapses. "
Cai Chongxin thought for a while and said: "The distance swallows up the world, and swallows so many companies in one go, it may not be really digestible.
Today, although the internal conflicts in the distance are not manifested, they are actually extremely serious.
Now, it is all suppressed by Li Dong's personal prestige.
Once Li Dong is gone, the troubles that erupt will be more serious than all enterprises.
It is not impossible to collapse in the distance.
If Li Dong can continue to suppress for three to five years, and then slowly solve the integration, the problem can still be solved.
But recently, I don’t know if you have discovered it, Li Dong seems to be a little anxious...he is still so young..."
Cai Chongxin's eyes flickered for a moment, the faces of the others changed slightly, and someone whispered: "No way?"
"Hard to say."
"Li Dong is the pillar of Yuanfang's soul. Once something happens to him, even if Yuanfang doesn't completely collapse, it won't have the deterrent power it has now."
None of the executives present were fools, and everyone understood what Cai Chongxin meant.
Li Dong is so young, but he is so anxious to let Yuanfang complete the unification, which is not necessarily a good thing.
With Yuanfang's strength and Li Dong's age, it's better to slow down.
Ma Yun frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said after a while: "It shouldn't be so?"
Although he felt that it was inappropriate to hope that Yuanfang himself would collapse, but some of Li Dong's recent actions seemed a little anxious even to him.
In the past, Li Dong was in a hurry, but not this time, he wanted to complete all the plans in one go.
After thinking for a while, Ma Yun got up and said, "I'll make a phone call later, this guy, don't be real..."
As he said that, Ma Yun didn't care about the meeting, and went straight out of the office.
As soon as he left, someone whispered, "Is Dapao Li really terminally ill?"
"It's hard to say, it's just a guess."
"I think there may still be some, I don't know if you have noticed, but recently Li Dong has started to arrange for himself, including his family.
Another private fund company, another share transfer...
He is not very old, not even thirty, so there is no need to be so anxious, right? "
"..."
Many people started discussing in low voices, Cai Chongxin coughed lightly and interrupted: "Stop discussing, that's what I said, there is no other meaning.
What's more, as a corporate management, it's not what we should do to consider using these to defeat our opponents.
Don't spread the topic to the outside world, everyone knows Mr. Li's character, if it spreads to his ears, we will all be in trouble. "
Cai Chongxin felt a little regretful at this time, he just answered a sentence in passing, and he lost his composure.
At the Ali management meeting, what is the difference between saying these words and gossiping women on the side of the road?
It can be said that it has been said, and now these people are talking about it, and he can't stop it.
Cai Chongxin had a headache, but he really thought so. After all, some of Li Dong's recent behaviors, in his opinion, were inconsistent with Li Dong in his prime.
Anyway, now we can only wait and see.
Moreover, if there is any problem with Li Dongzhen, Cai Chongxin would feel that it is a pity when he thinks about it. Li Dong's personal imprint in the distance is too strong.
It was so strong that if something happened to him, Yuanfang's internal problems could make Yuanfang collapse in half.
Shaking his head, Cai Chongxin didn't think about it anymore, this was just his own guess.
