Chapter 435 Resistance (Second Change)

"It's not good, Mr. Sun, Mr. Li, just got the news that SF Express Company no longer accepts the express delivery business of eBay Dangdang Company!!!" A young and beautiful female secretary ran into the conference room and said in a panic.

This female secretary was wearing a very sexy dress, with a short black skirt covering her hips, and a pair of beautiful fair legs were very eye-catching.It's just that everyone has no interest in watching the "scenery" at all.At this moment, upon hearing the news, Sun Zhengyi, President Li and the others were all dizzy for a while.

More than 70% of eBay Dangdang's express business is undertaken by SF Express. Once SF Express is lost, no one can believe what will happen!

It is only 2003 now, and the express delivery industry is far less developed than in 2016 in the previous life. Companies such as Yuantong, Shentong, Huitong, etc. have not developed yet, and they are even suppressed by SF Express. The scale is not as large as in the previous life.

Obviously, China's e-commerce is basically controlled by Li Zetian. In line with the principle of "do not let the rich water flow to outsiders", it is difficult for other express delivery companies to get orders from Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba.However, SF Express is developing extremely fast, not much to say about e-commerce express delivery, and it has also received a lot of traditional express delivery business.

So it is not difficult to imagine that the existence of SF Express has oppressed the living space of other express companies.

Once eBay Dangdang loses the support of SF Express, it will be impossible to find a suitable express company to deliver goods for them in a short period of time, especially for cross-regional and cross-provincial express.

Sun Zhengyi asked calmly: "Why doesn't SF Express pick up our company's express delivery?"

Female secretary: "They said they have too much business to handle!"

"Hmph, what a ridiculous excuse! Presumably SF Express is also Chronos Li's business..." Sun Zhengyi sneered.

Li Guoqing frowned, nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Sun. As early as eight or nine years ago, Chronos Li acquired SF Express, and then developed into the largest express company in Asia! Before the merger of eBay and Dangdang. Part of the express delivery business is handed over to SF Express.”

"Do you think this will stop the rise of eBay Dangdang? Don't you think there are no express companies in China?" Sun Zhengyi said disdainfully. He didn't think eBay Dangdang would not be able to develop without SF Express, and SF Express would not accept orders. , Naturally, other courier companies will make up for it.

Li Guoqing is not so optimistic. He has established Dangdang.com for several years, and he is familiar with all kinds of e-commerce websites, especially express delivery.

At present, there are very few courier companies that can cover the whole country. They are usually regional courier companies, and many courier companies cooperate with SF Express. For example, YTO Express transports from Guangzhou to BJ, but SF Express It is done by express delivery, and many express companies have warehouses using SF Express for their goods.If SF Express does not accept orders from eBay Dangdang, it will naturally not agree to cooperate with these express companies.Well, these courier companies have encountered many problems in transporting packages from Guangzhou to BJ by themselves.

If the package cannot be delivered to the consumer in time, the consumer will have a lot of resentment.

"Mr. Sun, this matter should not be underestimated. Even if eBay Dangdang cooperates with other express companies, it will cause many problems such as long delivery time and undeliverable goods in a short period of time!" Li Guoqing said, and gave Sun Zhengyi introduced the situation of China's express delivery industry in detail.

After hearing this, Sun Zhengyi couldn't help but his face darkened, his body shrank on the sofa, his head was lowered, and he fell into deep thought.

After a while, Sun Zhengyi said with a serious face: "This is a tough battle! As long as eBay Dangdang survives, it will be able to gain a foothold in the Chinese e-commerce market! PayPal terminated the cooperation, and we will speed up the development of third-party payment software. SF Express The courier company has terminated the cooperation, so we will unite with other courier companies in China to create a courier alliance, fund the development of these courier companies, and build large warehouses!!!”

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover. No matter how strong Chronos Li is, we have a way to deal with it!"

Sun Zhengyi paused and said loudly: "It seems that eBay Dangdang needs to raise funds again! Moreover, as long as we put forward the idea of ​​building our own warehouse, many venture capital companies will definitely support it!"

Li Guoqing was shocked. If he built his own warehouse, many weak express companies could rely on the warehouse and cooperate with each other. If I can’t deliver the goods, you can deliver them for me. If I can’t deliver them, you can deliver them for me. , In this way, a nationwide courier network can be established!
A trace of worry flashed across Li Guoqing's eyes, "The main problem right now is that it takes time to build a warehouse, and it costs a lot of money. It will also take time to get other courier companies to work together, and whether eBay Dangdang can survive and grow... If eBay Dangdang is not popular, then, even if you build your own warehouse, it may be a waste of money..."

After thinking about it carefully, Li Guoqing couldn't help but smile inwardly. Softbank and other venture capital companies have joined the pirate ship. It is not so easy to get off the ship. If the company wants to develop, it must burn money and continue to raise funds!

Currently, eBay Dangdang is very similar to JD.com.

JD.com builds its own warehouses and burns money all the time. Even if it becomes second in the industry in China, it is still burning money, but some people are willing to spend money for it to burn.As the saying goes, "Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai - one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer".As the founder of the company, no matter whether the company eventually closed down or not, he himself has already made a lot of money, married Bai Fumei, and reached the pinnacle of life.

……

Under the leadership of Masayoshi Son, within a few days, eBay Dangdang made a big move, raising a B-round financing, and the amount of financing this time was huge, reaching 1 million US dollars.At the same time, it also announced that eBay Dangdang will build its own warehouse, build eBay Dangdang's logistics system, and invite major courier companies to cooperate.

As soon as the news came out, the industry was shocked, as if an atomic bomb had been dropped on a calm lake.Countless small and medium-sized courier companies liked the news and contacted eBay Dangdang one after another to ask more details about the cooperation.

SF Express CEO Wang Wei immediately realized the seriousness of the problem after receiving the news, and immediately called Li Zetian, telling him about eBay Dangdang's website to build eBay Dangdang's logistics system.

Li Zetian frowned when he heard this.

"What do you think should be done?" Li Zetian asked Wang Wei. After all, Wang Wei knew the express delivery industry better than him.

Wang Weidao: "eBay Dangdang has the support of Softbank Corporation, the US Tiger Fund, the US IDG Group and many other financial backers. It is not short of funds. If it is allowed to build its own logistics system, it will definitely get the support of many express companies. Then, not only I am afraid that the plan to block eBay Dangdang from the express delivery aspect will be difficult to carry out. In addition, it will also allow other express delivery companies to grow! However, as long as the eBay Dangdang website does not develop and there is not enough business volume, everything they do will be in vain! Perhaps , SF Express can also buy the warehouse of the other party at a low price..."

Li Zetian nodded, thoughtful, that is to say, as long as you kill and disable the eBay Dangdang website, no matter what you do, it will be useless, and in the end it will be cheaper for SF Express.

PS: This is the second update, at least four updates today, um... there will definitely be 5 updates.
