On the 15th of March.
A day after Best Buy announced that it would close all of its stores in China, there was still no other movement in the industry. Meanwhile, Distance had officially launched its internet finance campaign.
On this day, Far Away Finance quietly took control of Tianhong Fund.
The two did not announce the news to the public, but after being reviewed by Tianjin and the CSRC, some companies still received the news.
At that moment, everyone was guessing what Li Dong was up to.
Fund company?
Although Far Away Finance had a little to do with finance, it did not have much to do with fund companies.
Now, it suddenly took control of a small fund company. What was it for?
While they were still guessing, Far Away started to make moves one after another.
On the same day, Far Away Logistics' Far Away Express Company announced that it would take on external e-commerce business, including Taobao!
Once the news came out, the industry was in an uproar.
This was the first time a competitor's business had taken on a competitor's business.
And Li Dong's promise was to maintain the same efficiency as Far Away Mall. He would not choose to delay because it was an external business.
From now on, Taobao's third-party merchants could choose to sign contracts with Far Away Express Company.
At the same time, Far Away and SF also announced to the public that Far Away Express Company would not only take part in Far Away Express Company's business, but also SF.
SF and Far Away would enter into a deeper level of cooperation.
Far Away Mall and Wanjia Web's business, Far Away would promise to let SF take over part of it. In addition, SF left the newbie alliance and chose to take on Taobao Express Company's business as a third party, just like Far Away.
Although this might cause them to be blocked by Taobao, SF didn't care too much about it.
Even if Taobao were to be blocked, it would at most block their ports and they wouldn't be able to take on Tmall's business. As for Taobao Express Company, it was a third-party merchant and wasn't under Taobao's control.
At most, they wouldn't be able to update their status.
In reality, the online shopping platforms didn't care much about this.
If it was really blocked, Shunfeng wouldn't care about Tmall's little business.
As for express delivery status updates, they could develop their own software. It wasn't a big deal.
The cooperation between Shunfeng and Far away was beyond everyone's expectations.
…
Lin 'an.
Ma Yun was also a little lost in thought. In fact, he had already guessed that Li Dong would use this move.
However, he didn't expect that Far away, who had always insisted on operating their own logistics, would suddenly choose to cooperate with Shunfeng on a deeper level, even including their own businesses.
This was something that Ma Yun did not expect.
Far away, if they had said that they would take over their own business, other express delivery companies would have fought to join them.
Of course, Ma Yun guessed that So far, there wouldn't be too much business.
Most of them would probably be the future Wan Jia business. As for the Far Away Mall, Li Dong would probably continue to focus on self-operating logistics.
Thinking of this, Ma Yun felt a headache.
A few days ago, because they were too hasty, Taobao businesses rebelled on a large scale.
At this time, Shunfeng and Far away cooperated. If he continued to be tough and chose to block them, other express delivery companies would be in danger.
After all, one more platform to take over business was something that all express delivery companies hoped to see.
Far away now had this trend. Even if it was just the Wan Jia website that hadn't been launched yet, it was much stronger than ordinary small and medium-sized platforms.
At this time, perhaps there were express delivery companies that had gone to talk to Far away secretly.
If he chose to block Shunfeng now, everyone would be in danger. Perhaps in the end, his rookie logistics would completely collapse.
At this moment, Ma Yun could only choose to acquiesce.
Moreover, three connections and one access, after all, couldn't compare to Shunfeng. Now that Shunfeng was really eliminated, the power of Taobao would be sharply reduced again, which would benefit Li Dong.
Now Shunfeng was still on the fence. It didn't necessarily fall to Li Dong's side. It was just driven by interests.
Such an alliance was like a rookie. It wasn't stable, so he didn't have to worry too much.
Just as he was thinking that he didn't have to worry too much, Taobao's CEO Lu Zhaoxi came in and said, "Chairman, Far away was definitely premeditated!
I even suspect that they had been in contact with our merchants a long time ago, even before the establishment of the Anti- Taobao Alliance!
Today was the first day of Far away's announcement. In the end, just now on the platform, merchants had already chosen to use Far away express delivery.
Moreover, some users had specified that they wanted to use Far away express delivery.
Some merchants who hadn't discussed cooperation with Far away were probably in contact now.
Far away's express delivery fees aren't higher than other express delivery companies, but because their distribution channels are wider than other express delivery companies, their scale is also larger, and their efficiency is much faster than other express delivery companies.
Far away is more efficient at the same price. This way, more merchants and consumers will choose Far away express delivery.
This way, our lifeline will be in their hands! "
Li Dong's move was very vicious. He didn't want to dig out your lifeline, but to directly control it.
Lu Zhaoxi saw that Ma Yun didn't say anything, so he continued, "Chairman, we need to respond immediately! Inform all third-party merchants to stop working with Far away. The platform is blocking all Far away express delivery entrances, and the other merchants are doing the same. This way, consumers won't know if you have delivered the goods, and users won't be used to it … "
Just as he said that, the secretary knocked on the door.
When Ma Yun let the secretary in, the secretary hurriedly took out her phone and said, "Chairman, the Pea Pod mobile phone distribution platform just released a new software."
"New software?"
"Logistics butler."
The secretary said as she added, "Not only can it be downloaded individually, but this software also connects to the Universal Card and some other software. Oh right, it can even connect to QQ. In the future, all logistics information can be checked through this. There's no need to input the order number, just bind it to your ID. Far away is now promoting real name authentication. In the future, all the logistics information under your ID can be clearly seen through this software. "
In 2009, there were no platforms like logistics butler in the market.
At this time, it wasn't difficult to develop this thing. The difficult part was to reach an agreement with the major delivery companies and connect to their data entrances.
Far away claimed to be able to check all the logistics under their name. Obviously, they had already negotiated with the major delivery companies to connect to their data entrances.
Ma Yun glanced at Lu Zhaoxi and said after a while, "Will blocking and banning work?"
The other party had already expected this and made preparations in advance.
Lu Zhaoxi's mouth twitched and said dryly, "It's still a little troublesome. Some users don't like to use third-party software to check their delivery records …"
Ma Yun said tiredly, "Then others will think that it's our platform's problem. Taobao actually doesn't show the delivery information.
Look at Far away, the delivery information is clear.
Users may not seem to care about these delivery updates, but in fact, if it really disappeared, they will definitely be very concerned.
They are eager to see where their deliveries are. They want to know when they can get their goods.
No matter how far away, how long it takes, they can only feel at ease when they see it.
If they can't see it, they will be waiting for the unknown.
If we choose to block it now, it will only make us more passive. "
Lu Zhaoxi was also very tired at this time. He said, "But we can't just sit and watch, right? If that's the case, Far away's data entrances will have to be connected to our platform … "
Ma Yun was also silent. It was really difficult to do something these days.
Li Dong did not discuss this matter with him, nor did he talk about the data entrances.
There was only one word to describe it: brute force!
When merchants worked with them, they did not need to connect to Taobao's data entrances to check logistics information. They had their own logistics inquiry software. As long as the third-party merchants registered on it, it would be fine.
As for whether Taobao took the initiative to connect to them or not, Far away did not care.
Although this way, some users and merchants would choose to give up Far away's delivery.
But this was also in line with Li Dong's expectations.
Actually, he did not really want to take over Taobao's express delivery system immediately. He was barely holding on on his side. It was only after he connected to Shunfeng that he would have the time to accept Taobao's orders.
It was enough for some merchants to choose to cooperate!
Anyway, with efficiency and reputation, after a long time, it would be more appropriate to wait for Far away's express delivery to slowly expand and then slowly penetrate.
These, Ma Yun could guess and speculate.
But at this time, for the first time, Ma Yun was at a loss and hesitant.
What to do?
Block?
Block?
Or take the initiative to connect to Far away's express entrance?
This thing was actually similar to the payment system. Once it was connected, some of Taobao's business data would be controlled by Far away.
Of course, it was only a part of it. After all, not all goods would use Far away's express delivery.
The more Ma Yun thought about it, the more tired and mentally tired he became. Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Let it go first. You guys discuss among yourselves. We cannot be disrupted. Continue with our rhythm. It's already the middle of March. The privatization will be completed next month. As for Yahoo, get Director Cai to make a trip to my place later … "
Ma Yun said weakly. As he spoke, Ma Yun suddenly picked up his phone and dialed a number.
When the call connected, Ma Yun cursed, "B * stard, did I offend you? You're always making life difficult for me! I have so many things to do now that I can't even finish them. You're still finding trouble for me! Back then, you were shameless and used my reputation to open up the shopping mall. Now, you're actually playing the blame game. Ungrateful … "
Ma Yun cursed and hung up the phone after he finished cursing.
At this time, Ma Yun recovered his smile and said in high spirits, "This b * stard deserves a scolding. After scolding him, I feel much better.
Alright, the express delivery matter is not a problem for now.
He's just trying to scare us and disrupt our plans.
Far away's logistics scale is huge, and it's split into two logistics and express delivery systems. Far away's express delivery alone can't even satisfy their own business. How many Taobao orders can they handle?
It's nothing more than making a name for themselves first. I know what he's thinking.
However, the efficiency of Far away's express delivery is already known by the public. Now, all the express delivery companies are speeding up the layout of their outlets to increase efficiency. It's not much slower than Far away's.
Our rookie is also setting up his own system.
When the time comes, we will use our own logistics system. When Li Dong develops, will we not develop?
It's ultimately our platform. If he wants to surpass us on our platform, there's still a long way to go. "
Hearing this, Lu Zhaoxi felt a little more at ease. However, he was still in a daze over what had just happened.
Old Ma was too awesome!
He called to scold others without saying a word. Was this still Old Ma?
Ma Yun didn't explain. There was nothing for him to explain.
Li Dong was now recognized as a thick-skinned person. Everyone in the business world knew about his thick skin.
Others didn't dare to scold him, but he dared!
Anyway, Li Dong was riding on his neck and taking a dump. What was there for him to be afraid of? That bastard, would he not cause trouble for himself because of this?
If Li Dong was willing to let things go, he could even apologize to Li Dong.
However, it was obvious that Li Dong saw that they had a lot of things to do. That was why he was causing trouble for him at this time.
Ma Yun didn't explain. The secretary and Lu Zhaoxi didn't ask further. They reported a few more things before leaving together.
Just as they left, Ma Yun's phone rang.
After looking at the number, Ma Yun directly rejected the call.
I've already scolded him. You want to scold me back? Is that even possible?
…
Pingchuan.
Far away from the building.
Li Dong's face was as black as iron. He threw his phone to the side and said angrily, "Is he still an entrepreneur?
I'm doing legitimate business, but he, an alien, actually called to scold me. He's out of control!
Since when did the competitive atmosphere in the business world become like this?
This bastard. Did he forget how I helped him a few days ago?!
Ungrateful and shameless to the extreme!
He can't beat me in business, so he's attacking me personally. He's too shameless. The business world doesn't need such people. He's dragging down the quality and class of the entire business world! "
In the conference room, everyone turned a deaf ear.
Yes, the conference room.
Just now, while Li Dong was in a meeting, Ma Yun's call came.
Li Dong probably didn't expect Ma Yun's actions. He was thinking of provoking Ma Yun and making him vomit blood when he answered the call.
In the end, before he could open his mouth to provoke, Ma Yun was like a machine gun, beeping a long string of words.
His voice wasn't soft. When Li Dong answered the call, everyone in the conference room kept quiet.
This time, almost everyone in the conference room heard Ma Yun scolding Li Dong.
Moreover, he scolded Li Dong to the point where he couldn't retaliate at all. After scolding, he quickly hung up. This made everyone feel that they had learned something new.
Ma Yun, well done!
If he continued, he would definitely be turned around by Li Dong. He would be angered to death. This was almost certain.
Now, Li Dong didn't even have a chance to retaliate. How could he turn the tables?
Everyone held back their laughter. They all lowered their heads and didn't say anything. No one responded.
Although Li Dong had high authority Far away, the targets of Li Dong's venomous words included his own people Far away.
Everyone was also extremely venomous. Now that he was at a disadvantage, they didn't gloat because he was the boss.
Li Dong glanced at them and snorted. "Why are you lowering your heads? Is there something delicious or fun on the table? Continue the meeting! All of you are listless during the meeting. You don't give your all when it comes to work. You dilly-dally when it comes to small matters … "
Li Dong started his venomous tongue mode. Everyone was helpless. They really hoped that Ma Yun would call again and scold him.
But clearly, Ma Yun couldn't hide now. There was no possibility of that.
