On the evening of the 16th, Li Dong and Wang Chuanfu had dinner together.
On the morning of the 17th, Li Dong secretly met with SF's Wang Wei.
This boss of the express delivery industry, who kept a low profile in the outside world, chatted with Li Dong for nearly two hours. No one knew what they talked about.
Wang Wei, who came out of the hotel, did not notice the surprise on the face of the person next to him.
The person who saw Wang Wei was none other than Cheng Ping.
Outsiders might not know Wang Wei, but how could he not?
Back when Home Express was the overlord, he had even discussed with SF about purchasing SF. Of course, it was Home Express that purchased SF.
Hence, Cheng Ping was very familiar with Wang Wei.
When he saw Wang Wei coming out of Li Dong's hotel, Cheng Ping's first thought was that Li Dong was going to make a big move!
Otherwise, with Li Dong's character and Wang Wei's low profile, the two of them would not have the chance to meet.
Cheng Ping watched Wang Wei's car leave. He stood there for a moment, then suddenly turned and left.
This time, I came in a hurry. I'll go back and think about it. Maybe a revolution in the express delivery industry is coming.
In the past few years, Li Dong had been the pioneer of the revolution in the industry.
There was no need to talk about the retail industry. In the B2C e-commerce market, Li Dong had opened up the market. In addition to Internet finance, Internet +, and the promotion of 3G …
Now, Li Dong met Wang Wei. These two private express delivery giants met. It was possible that they were going to divide the profits of the express delivery industry.
…
Cheng Ping left. Li Dong naturally did not know about it.
However, although no one knew the details of Wang Wei and Li Dong's secret conversation, many people knew that Li Dong and Wang Wei had met.
Feiyada Building.
Ma Huateng had a conflicted expression. He looked at his trusted subordinates in front of him and said, "Li Dong and Wang Wei met.
The outside world does not know what they talked about, but I can guess.
This year, since Li Dong decided to make a move against Taobao, it must be a comprehensive one.
Previously, he said that he had obtained the support of some express delivery giants. I thought it was a lie, but now it seems that it is indeed possible.
In the field of e-commerce, express delivery was the most important link between virtual and reality.
Far Away Mall was able to expand its B2C industry by relying on their own logistics.
As for Taobao, due to the problem of the third party, they had never been able to achieve absolute control in this aspect, or rather, they could not control it at all.
Currently, Taobao still relied on Shun Feng and Three Connections and One Reach.
Once these people are poached away, the collapse of Taobao will happen in an instant. "
After he finished speaking, someone immediately followed up, "Shunfeng and Three Links and One Reach won't compromise so easily.
Far away had its own logistics system. Once they defeated Taobao, not only would Taobao suffer losses, they would also suffer losses!
At that time, Far away would have no opponents and no restrictions.
Weren't they still at the mercy of the people in the distance?
Only when there was competition would there be maximization of benefits, and only then would there be room for survival. They should all understand this logic.
Therefore, I feel that the possibility of them being willing to cooperate with Far away is very low … "
Ma Huateng shook his head and said, "You are talking about the previous Far Away, the previous Li Dong.
Back then, the giants in the retail industry also thought so.
They felt that the other small and medium-sized enterprises would not compromise, even if they did, it would only be in name.
But when Li Dong gave them a big piece of cake and brought them into Far away's system, this situation changed.
The establishment of the Retail Alliance, all the big companies in the retail industry, were inexplicably shocked and in disbelief.
Do you think that if he did this again, would it be possible to rope in these express delivery giants? "
"I don't think so, right?"
Someone said uncertainly, "Far away is too strong in the retail industry, and they only rope in small and medium-sized enterprises. But this time is different. Three Links and One Reach and Shunfeng are not much weaker than Far away, and they even have a higher market share. Far away relies most on e-commerce … "
Ma Huateng's eyes flickered and said, "I am talking about e-commerce!
You must know that these few companies do not completely rely on e-commerce for their business. In fact, online shopping currently does not take up too much of their overall scale.
If Li Dong wants to create a second Rookie Alliance, do you think anyone will be tempted?
Of course, tempted is tempted, the other party will not abandon Taobao and choose to fully support Far Away.
But based on my understanding of Li Dong, this guy definitely has a backup plan.
Once the war really comes, if these express delivery giants choose to watch from the sidelines or remain neutral, it is very likely that they will be the last straw that crushes Taobao. "
"Tony, then you mean that Taobao will definitely lose?"
Ma Huateng did not say anything. He lit up a cigarette and started smoking. He was addicted to smoking, and he could not be bothered to worry too much in the company.
After taking a puff, Ma Huateng exhaled the smoke and said, "I dare not say that they will definitely lose, but Taobao currently does not have any advantage against Far Away.
In terms of popularity, users, and traffic, there was not much difference between the two. In fact, because of Li Dong, Distance was even more famous than Taobao, which was established earlier.
Now, comparing Taobao and Far Away is like comparing Taobao and Yi Qu.
One is an old giant, the other is a rising power.
In the end, you all saw the result!
There are many reasons for Yi Qu's failure, but internal discord and lack of funds are one of the main reasons.
Also, there is the problem of morale.
Back then, Taobao's morale was high, and Yi Qu was ousted because of Shao Yibo and lost its soul.
Taobao is not like that now, but Far Away is more like Taobao in the past. Morale is high, and Li Dong is an invincible legend.
Not only does Far Away's employees trust Li Dong unconditionally, but the people do too!
Li Dong has a high and powerful influence among the people, but Ma Yun does not have any signs of it.
When two armies face off, morale is an important factor.
Far Away is fighting against Taobao and suppressing Taobao in all aspects. Taobao will not have a chance to turn the tables.
Of course, Far Away is not a C2C player, and it is not possible for them to take down Taobao in a short period of time.
If this drags on, Taobao's counterattack might be successful … "
"Tony, what do you mean?" Someone asked confusedly. "Who do you think will win? You don't sound too sure now …"
Ma Huateng felt a headache coming on. "Yes, I'm not too sure. From the bottom of my heart, I hope that Ma Yun can win. But the truth is, Ali has a lot of problems now. Far Away also has a lot of problems, but Li Dong has covered them up, and he can still suppress them for the time being. If that's the case, the chances of Taobao losing is very high, but I don't want that to happen … "
"Then let's work with Ali!"
Someone immediately suggested. "Far Away is obviously attacking now. Of course, it is not as grand and flamboyant as before. But Far Away is even scarier than before. Far Away was completely relying on their momentum to fight blitzkrieg and surprise attacks, and they could not fight a drawn-out battle. Now it's different, they have the ability to fight a drawn-out battle. Moreover, Li Dong is also growing rapidly. If this goes on, I'm worried that after he takes down Taobao, we will be his next target in the internet industry. "
Ma Huateng frowned. "I have this thought too, but if we work with Ali, will it benefit us?"
The moment he said that, many people fell silent.
Yes, would it benefit them?
What benefits could Ali bring to Tencent?
Tencent did not need e-commerce now, and in the payment system, could Alipay and Tencent merge?
Tencent did not seem to be useful in the B2B business either.
If the industries could not complement each other, could Ali bring other benefits?
For the time being, it did not seem to be possible. The current Ali did not have the ability to bring them any substantial help.
Far Away was about the same as Ali.
But Li Dong's condition of 10% of Far Away Mall's shares was still tempting.
Compared to Taobao, Ma Huateng was more optimistic about Far Away's model. Far Away's retail ecosystem was gradually being built.
Online and offline, in addition to a huge self-run logistics system, Far Away Mall's value would definitely exceed Taobao's.
Far Away was still giving more benefits.
But helping Far Away to deal with Ali was not the outcome that Ma Huateng wanted. He was in a dilemma now.
Tencent and Ali might not be a match for Far Away.
The only possibility was to slow down Li Dong's progress.
Was it worth it to use a considerable amount of benefits in exchange for Li Dong's slow development?
Just as Ma Huateng was pondering, someone said in a low voice, "Why don't we sell Pai Pai Network and not work with Far Away? We will choose to invest in Far Away Mall.
Let them fight among themselves, and we will watch from the sidelines.
Of course, we will not just sit back and do nothing. While Li Dong is distracted, we will speed up our own development.
Make all the preparations. When the fight reaches its climax, we will attack Far Away's PP industry.
Far Away's attention is divided now. According to Li Dong's plan, he will most likely continue to attack Taobao and perfect his retail unification plan.
If he wins, we will profit from both sides.
If he loses, we will not suffer any losses. If he loses in the retail industry, he will not be our match in PP.
Far Away Mall's value will not suffer a huge loss just because he cannot take down Taobao. We will still profit. "
"Li Dong and Ma Yun are not stupid. Will they give us this chance?"
"They will. Li Dong wants to dominate the retail industry. Ma Yun has no choice but to accept the challenge. In fact, he can't wait for us to stab Far Away in the back. Our and Ali's industries do not overlap much. There is not much competition … "
"…"
Everyone discussed for a while before looking at Ma Huateng.
Ma Huateng extinguished his cigarette. After a while, he said, "I will talk about the specifics later.
But no matter what choice we make, there is a prerequisite. We will definitely have a major conflict with Far Away's IM business in the near future!
Everyone, when the IM industry was in full bloom, we also broke through many obstacles and finally succeeded. That is why we have Tencent today!
Far Away wants to replace us now. This is not allowed!
So, no matter what choice we make, we can only choose to accept the challenge when faced with Far Away's threat.
As for Li Dong, he has chosen the mobile industry.
He did not hide this because he is confident that we will not be able to prepare in time.
I am not sure how he prepared, but I know that the next round of IM war will definitely break out in the mobile industry!
So, from now on, the wireless department will immediately start to specialize.
In the mobile industry, we are still using the same old methods and mentality. We are not fully prepared for the arrival of the mobile internet era.
The previous version of QQ has not made any new breakthroughs in a long time.
On the original basis, I want to make better improvements to better suit the development of mobile phones.
Also, I feel that Li Dong did not just make improvements to the PP mobile phone.
He is very confident. So confident that I am a little uneasy. From now on, all departments must do their best. If there is any progress, report to me immediately.
Also, keep an eye on Far Away's movements.
Although Li Dong has not revealed his intention to start a war with us, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is using a smokescreen.
Everyone, from now on, we are in a state of preparation for war! "
After Ma Huateng finished speaking, his face was solemn.
In the meeting room, the executives were solemn and nodded solemnly.
At this moment, Ma Huateng said, "Sell Pat Pai, give up on e-commerce, and go into battle lightly.
If necessary, we can cooperate with Ali and use QQ as the traffic entrance to help Taobao buy time.
Pat Pai's existence is no longer useful to us. Instead, it is a hindrance to our development.
In addition, the mobile video service, the browser service, and a series of mobile applications have to enter the process immediately.
Nowadays, the users' requirements are getting higher and higher. They are no longer satisfied with simple chat.
They want to be able to do one-click services, idiot services.
One account can chat, play games, watch videos, browse the web, and do everything they can!
This idea has been accepted by the public Far Away after it was implemented.
Far Away users can chat with one click, watch videos with one click, shop with one click, and fulfill all their needs with one click. This is the reason why we are gradually catching up.
Currently, we can't fulfill all their needs in a decentralized manner. However, we need to be specialized in the business. The only thing we lack compared to Far Away is shopping. This is not the key to the survival of IM! "
After he said that, everyone felt the pressure increase.
In his previous life, Tencent Video appeared in 2011, QQ Mobile Browser appeared in 2009, and the predecessor of Tencent Map, Soso Map, appeared in 2012.
Now, Ma Huateng wanted to enter the wireless field, and everyone was not fully prepared. Naturally, they felt the pressure increase.
But now, under the pressure of Far Away, they had no choice but to change and improve.
Everyone agreed, and Ma Huateng announced the end of the meeting.
After they left, Ma Huateng thought for a while and gave Ma Yun a call.
Once the call was connected, Ma Huateng said, "Li Dong wants to acquire Piapai and integrate the resources of the C2C platform. I have agreed."
"Got it."
Ma Yun only said these three words because it was useless to say more.
Ma Huateng was not his subordinate, and Tencent was not his subordinate. He had his own considerations when he chose to sell Piapai.
Ma Yun was not confident that he could change Ma Huateng's decision with his glib tongue.
It was good enough for him to give him a heads-up at this time.
The moment he hung up the call, Ma Yun knew that his prediction of a challenge had come true!
