Chapter 491: Express 1 and 2 horses join forces

The people below were not very happy about cooperating with SF Express, because the business of the Tongda Group and JD.com was an additional supplement to Fengniao, while SF Express had a mature framework and a large number of employees.

Not only will it fail to bring additional growth to Hummingbird, but it will also eat into Hummingbird's same-city delivery business.

"We didn't have enough food to begin with, and now there's another guy trying to steal food from the beggars' den. Our wages will definitely be reduced in the future. We protest and refuse to cooperate with SF Express."

“That’s right. Look at the Shentong delivery team in Pengcheng District 60, which has only people and only delivers high-quality items. Other companies are similar, with only a dozen people specializing in large items.

Now SF Express has thousands of people coming in all of a sudden, and it seems like they don’t intend to give us any business. Why?”

There was a lot of discussion below, and in fact, just as they thought, the lower-level management of SF Express wanted to steal the business from Hummingbird.

But from a global perspective, SF Express's joining in to fill the last gap in Qingyun's intelligent logistics network means that, in addition to ZTO Express in the North and EMI in the South, there will be companies in the express delivery industry with revenue exceeding 1 billion.

All of them have joined the Qingyun system. Moreover, ZTO Express is on the decline in the field of traditional express delivery and same-city delivery. Having missed out on online shopping, the biggest opportunity in the history of express delivery, it will be difficult for ZTO Express to rise again.

The former pattern of ZTO Express in the north and SF Express in the south no longer exists. Any single company of the Tongda Group has better performance than ZTO Express, but Jack Ma is willing to contact ZTO Express.

Unfortunately, when Chen Ping left, it was the critical time for Qingyun and Ali to win over the Tongda Group. Jack Ma's Rookie was defeated by Li Zehua's Hummingbird.

Jack Ma was forced to invest in a number of small and medium-sized logistics and express delivery companies, preparing to use the number of Taotao packages to support a new batch of Tongda Group, but he forgot that Taotao also made express delivery companies glorious.

The increasingly powerful express delivery companies have also relied on Taotao to complete their nationwide business layout. The core of the express delivery industry lies in scale, efficiency, cost, and nationwide enterprises.

Compared with emerging express delivery companies, the advantages are too obvious. Even for the most popular transportation line from Qiantang to Shanghai, the Tongda Group can rely on other businesses to supplement it and reduce the unit price to two yuan per ticket.

And only lost one dollar.

When new companies enter the market, they have no team, system, technology, or anything else, and they don’t even have a reputation. Taotao doesn’t even dare to give them dedicated line treatment, otherwise Tongda will be angry.

The entire Taotao distribution system is about to collapse. It is impossible to eliminate one of them and support one of their own, because the largest individual shareholder of the Tongda Group has a seat at Qingyun.

Under Qingyun's coordination, new express delivery companies face the fiercest competition from the Qingyun Tongda Group from the very beginning, competing on price, efficiency, service attitude, and praise rate.

There were all kinds of secret means to fight for the lines. In the end, all the emerging companies, including Xingchensong founded by Chen Ping, were almost wiped out because no one dared to invest money in the bottomless pit.

Even EMI, a long-established express delivery company that relied on the support of Foxconn Industries, is unable to cope with the competition, let alone a new company.

Originally, failure was not a big deal, as it would at most cost Ali hundreds of millions of working capital. However, the problem was with Xingchensong. There was no need to elaborate on the grudge between Chen Ping and ZTO Express, so Ali and Xingchensong cooperated.

This means going against ZTO Express, especially when ZTO Express started to cooperate with international giants such as KFC and McDonald's, the differences between the two sides became more serious.

The international fast food giant abandoned Hummingbird and chose ZTO Express because Qingyun’s secret moves were discovered and Li Zehua was ambitiously preparing to build an oriental fast food chain.

Currently, they are actively building a supply chain for raw materials such as breeder chickens and ducks, potatoes and tomatoes, and are also trying to open stores in first-tier cities in the form of subsidies to explore their own business strategies...

"Too many enemies is not necessarily a good thing. In fact, we can give part of Chaoxu's transportation business to EMI or Pinxixi. As long as Taotao can give, Qingyun can give."

Fu Yujie, who was playing with Li Zehua's big hands, never forgot to talk about work even at home, "When the time is right, we will bring in EMI. Taotao's logistics and express delivery layout will be completely bankrupt.

Then, no matter how you want to deal with Ahri, it won’t be a problem.”

"No, SF Express alone is already giving me a headache."

Not sure if it was a psychological effect, but Li Zehua felt that after she became pregnant, although she still seemed to be aggressive on the surface, she was actually much gentler.

He wanted to gently stroke the slightly bulging belly with his hand, but Fu Yujie would have opened it before. But now, she held it in her palm and refused to let go.

“Speaking of which, I guess there are a lot of people scolding me. Once SF Express came in, it took away a portion of the small and medium-sized parcels delivered in the same city, expedited parcels, and even the early morning deliveries in big cities.

However, SF Express’s high-end air cargo business cannot feed back to the original system in a short period of time. Even at the management level, most people complain, as if I have done something stupid and wrong.”

"That's because they can't see the deeper meaning."

Li Zehua looked at her, who was acting out of character, with great interest. "Why, have you changed your temper recently? Why are you so obedient?"

Fu Yujie covered her mouth and yawned, then stretched and changed to a more comfortable position to lie in his arms, occasionally nodding with her little head, "Huh, I don't want to pay attention to you."

Afterwards, he didn't need his coaxing, and said to himself: "It is too one-sided to judge success or failure from a tactical perspective. Winning over SF Express will yield gains at the strategic level.

Judging from the future development of Qingyuntongda Group, it will definitely engage in all-round competition with SF Express within two years. Considering market factors alone, it will be difficult for SF Express to withstand the impact from its peers.

Especially with the logistics resources and financial support provided by Qingyun.

However, SF Express's direct sales model and high-end brand image also mean that this will be a protracted battle, and it is inevitable that it will attract foreign aid along the way. No matter how you look at it, Ali is the first choice target.

The original purpose of the Qingyuntongda Group was to restrict the further development of Taotao. If SF Express joins in, the encirclement plan will have the biggest loophole.

"Ali plus SF Express is ten times more powerful than EMI. The funds and resources spent by then will be more than ten times that of buying off SF Express."

“It’s very exciting, but it’s still lacking something, because SF Express also has international business, which is a shortcoming that Qingyun urgently needs to make up for.”

Li Zehua smiled and his evaluation of her quietly improved. Unfortunately, it was difficult for her to go further within the company because he didn't want to cause trouble.

Fu Yujie is a smart person. Ever since she and He Li both failed to be elected as vice president of the group, she knew that as long as Yu Li was there, she would have no chance of being promoted smoothly.

Unfortunately, both Li Zehua and Yu Li underestimated her methods. If it didn’t work in China, couldn’t she find another way?

I deliberately didn't mention the group's internationalization strategy just now, just to lead Li Zehua to talk, and then I continued the conversation while Li Zehua was in high spirits.

She suddenly said, "You said, when Chaoxu Electronics successfully reaches a scale of 200 million people and an annual output value of 1000 billion according to the group's plan, can I also go abroad to be responsible for a certain region?"

"Ok?"

Li Zehua was stunned and stared at her for a long time. "Why do you have such an idea? Besides, the child will also be in China in the future. You..."

"I can take him/her with me."

Fu Yujie sat up straight, looked him in the eyes, and said word by word: "It is you who gave me a new life and allowed me to break free from the restrictions of Chaoxu. I don't care about you as a mere vice president of the group.

But I want some people to understand that the reason she was able to get to the top was not because of her ability, but simply because she joined early. "

As he spoke, his soft jade-like palm gently brushed across Li Zehua's cheek, "If you stay in the country, you may be able to try to resolve the conflict in the heyday of Spring and Autumn, but it's useless, some things are destined.

There will come a day when you can no longer hold it back. It's like the harder you hold on to quicksand, the more it will slip away through the cracks. It's better to try to let go from the beginning, at least the kite string.

It’s still in your hands, isn’t it? "

Li Zehua held his chin and thought for a moment. He had to admit that what she said made sense. "I'll think about it."

He can bribe people with money and trap people with benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, just like what he did to Zhang Tao and many more left-behind children who have no one to rely on.

Give them small favors day after day so that they can no longer leave the Qingyun system and survive alone, and then proceed to the next step of screening to pick out relatively more reliable people to achieve special purposes.

But money is not omnipotent after all. He can't raise a poison on his woman. There are thousands of beautiful faces in the world, and fate is the most important.

Seeing that he was moved, Fu Yujie sighed slightly in her heart, and then said: "I will take my aunt abroad with me. When the child is born in the future, let her help take care of it. You are free.

Humph, if you have no conscience, don't come to see your own child." "How is it possible!"

Li Zehua complained about it, almost swearing, but in reality he was complaining bitterly, thinking to himself, "You still let Lin Wan take care of your child. When you find out the truth, won't you tear me to pieces?"

After all, he still had to have some nerve. He coughed to adjust his state and coaxed her a few words, saying that the child was still young and should wait until she was at least three or four years old and settled down before considering other things. Besides, it would take time for Chaoxu Electronics to develop.

After a lot of coaxing and deception, I finally dispelled her urgency to escape, and took the opportunity to change the subject, "Speaking of going overseas, 13/14 is definitely the best opportunity.

At that time, Qingyun, JD.com, and SF Express were the three leading companies in the Tongda Group. Well, there were four of them, which was too many. They took the opportunity to compete internally. I don't think Chen Dejun and his sister were interested in this.

Perhaps in the future Shentong may become the first company to be eliminated internally, and the remaining resources will be divided among the last few companies."

"Shouldn't it be Zhongtong Lai Hairong?"

Fu Yujie expects that when she goes abroad in the future, she will either be responsible for Qingyun Electronics' global business or Qingyun's smart logistics network, which will always be closely related to logistics and express delivery.

When talking about the future, he couldn't help but frown and said: "Zhongtong is the only company in the Qingyun system that still uses the agency model. Compared with other companies, its foundation is the shallowest.

If we have to eliminate him, he has the highest chance.”

“That may not be the case. Don’t look at the growth rate, but look at the network construction and planning. Zhongtong’s trend of catching up is obvious, while others are busy buying vehicles to join Yunyunbang.

While making extra profits, Lai Hairong can only continue to expand his basic business. The delivery network of express delivery companies is the foundation. If they deviate from this framework, the future will be out of control.

Yu Weilong and Nie Tengyun are fine, as they each have their own balance to balance. Even if they rely on the group's development, they still retain some self-generating capabilities.

Only Shentong seems to have completely lost its development direction. It is only focused on making quick money and is not even paying attention to the construction, renovation and upgrading of smart warehousing.

In a few years, when the delivery business, sorting and distribution are all controlled by the group, the Chen family will basically bid farewell to the industry.

But it doesn't matter, I will reserve a career for them, to ensure that they have enough bargaining chips when they break up, and there will be no conflicts. "

Fu Yujie couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "I really don't understand. When other people run their businesses, they insist on a winner-takes-all approach, but you, on the other hand, always consider others, fearing that they will suffer losses."

"Let's put things in perspective. If they are enemies, you should be as decisive as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. But when it comes to allies and friends, you are taking away their future. You might as well kill them all and leave a bad reputation for yourself in the future.

Why bother?
In ancient times, a thousand gold coins were used to buy horse bones. A good reputation can avoid countless troubles."

Li Zehua shook his head and said, "You have seen the end of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang hot money and comprador groups. Even now, there are still people looking for opportunities to get close to me and want to kill me.

There is no need to worry, they are just a bunch of jumping clowns, but you have to understand that our enemies are getting stronger and stronger. In the production of power batteries, those few enemies will definitely fight to the death in the future.

If it is purely commercial competition, it would be fine, but it cannot withstand the war between new energy and traditional fuel car companies, as there are so many bigwigs coming out of these car companies and their connections are spread all over the world.

It's another battle for the general trend, with an abyss behind it. Whoever retreats will die.

Therefore, we must make friends with all the forces we can. Even if they withdraw from their original industry, we should help them whenever possible and continue the previous good cooperative relationship.

Maybe they can achieve better results in the new industry and help us in the future.”

On the surface, he was talking about new energy, but in fact he was talking about the battle for public opinion between WeChat and Douyin Interactive Entertainment.

It is about the competition among micropayments, Minsheng Bank, and Ant Financial for international finance.

It is about the competition with the Five Military Commanderies Headquarters, 361, and a number of related state-owned enterprises to develop PC and mobile phone operating systems.

There is also a lot of things going on, such as cooperating with SMIC on mid- and low-end chips, secretly planning a lithography machine system, the overall strategy for future drones, etc., and competing with Western capital.

There is no possibility of either side giving in, and the fight will continue until one side collapses completely.

Fu Yujie didn't know what he was thinking for the time being, she only knew that her man was playing a very big game...

Qingyun and SF Express quickly approached, dealing the greatest blow to Tengda Ali.

It was rare for Tony Ma to receive a call from Qiantang. To be honest, the conflict between the two sides was not small. Even with Qingyun as a target, it was impossible for the two families to completely trust each other.

Jack Ma’s purpose of calling was simple, “Wang Wei was pulled away by him. Chen Dongsheng (founder of ZTO Express) is obsessed with the insurance business, unlike his brother Chen Ping who is obsessed with the express delivery industry. He is very rich.

But Qingyun still has the insurance business to buy. If he takes it away, Ali's logistics and express delivery strategy will be completely bankrupt."

"Don't be so pessimistic, old friend. Isn't Ali working on the unmanned Fengchao recently? You should think about how to circumvent Qingyun's patent restrictions."

Tony Ma smiled secretly in his heart, his old rival seemed to be beaten more badly by Qingyun, “Scan the QR code, the patents for face scanning and fingerprint recognition are in his hands, even a sticker is enough.

I heard that your Fengchao relies on verification code input and requires mandatory orders to express delivery companies to execute. The single charge is quite expensive. Can it be successfully promoted? "

Jack Ma stopped pretending and said, "I have to do it whether I want to or not. I can't let Tao Tao help them."

History is so ridiculous sometimes.

In the original time and space, Ali created Cainiao, requiring major express delivery companies to transfer customers through Cainiao. This is equivalent to relying on Taotao to control the source of goods and relying on Cainiao to control the distribution terminals.

Blocking both ends, the express delivery company was completely taken into its pocket.

The Tongda Group was forced to compromise, but SF Express, which had autonomy, created Fengchao and blocked Taotao's first wave of offensive.

Now, Cainiao has been replaced by Hummingbird, Tongda Group has joined Qingyun, and SF Express has also joined the camp. Ali, who is unable to stand alone, has launched Fengchao to fight back, charging 5 cents per time to make a profit.

Qingyun naturally would not tolerate this, and immediately launched a public opinion war on WeChat, Sohu, and Wangyi platforms, directly accusing Ali of disregarding consumers' right to choose and using unfair terms.

Jack Ma doesn't care. He will continue to move forward even if he is criticized by thousands of people, otherwise Taotao will completely become a vassal of express delivery companies.

Tony Ma was helpless because Tengda had almost no foothold in the express delivery industry. He wanted to win over Wang Wei, but the latter ignored the friendship of fellow townsmen and prioritized his own interests.

He ran to Qingyun because of a disagreement. He was so angry but there was nothing he could do.

“Take it easy. Ali’s main business is e-commerce. As long as you can beat Pinxixi, there will be no trouble.

It seems that Pinxixi’s performance this year is almost half of Taotao’s?”

Jack Ma was overwhelmed when he heard this. "It's more than half. The two companies together account for more than two-thirds..."

It is impossible to say that you don't regret driving Sun Tongyu away and choosing to embrace capital. Who knew that the rural market and other consumer markets extended by the promotion team would be so strong.

It can be said that the entire Qingyun has been completely developed relying on the rural market. Without Pinxixi and the support of the rural market, Qingyun would not be able to support so many people.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now. Even if Ali catches up, it can’t pose a threat to Pinxixi. The two are not competing on the same track at all, so how can they fight?
What makes him even more headache is that SoftBank's attitude is also quietly changing. SoftBank China Venture Capital, which is registered in Hong Kong, seems to be having an affair with Qingyun in private.

The Ali board of directors wanted to promote the construction of sinking markets several times, but was rejected by Sun Zhengyi on the grounds that the time was not right. Even Jack Ma’s personal phone calls to communicate were useless.

Tony Ma obviously saw something and took the opportunity to suggest, "Are you interested in making Taotao Mall independent? You can hold the controlling stake, and Tengda can provide traffic support. You can first attack JD.com and cut off Qingyun's wings..."

Jack Ma rarely refused directly, "Let's wait and see. I will discuss it with the board of directors first." (End of this chapter)
