Chapter 489: Smart Man
Entering a Chinese-style reception hall, as soon as he entered the door, Li Jie saw Li Wenzheng, an old money king in his nineties, sitting in the first seat.
On his left and right sides, sat Zhang Yida and his son-in-law Weng Junmin.
Li Wenzheng is dressed in a Tang costume, and whenever a Chinese guest comes to the door, he dresses up like this.
This energetic old man got up and greeted: "Your guests have come to the door, and I hope you will forgive me!"
Li Jie naturally didn't want this old man to greet him in person, no matter his net worth and status, he was not qualified.
Li Jie and Li Wenzheng shook hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Li is polite!"
Then he shook hands with Zhang Yida and Weng Junmin and exchanged greetings.
After the four of them sat down, Li Jie didn't speak, and he couldn't speak until he figured out what medicine was sold in Zhang Yida's gourd.
Zhang Yida was the first to speak: "I asked Mr. Li to come over, mainly to talk about cooperation with J&T Express Company.
It just so happens that Lippo Group and Guoxin Group are also interested in this matter, so I will simply talk about it together, and Mr. Li should not be surprised. ”
Li Jie waved his hand again and again, "It's not strange, I've wanted to visit Mr. Li and Mr. Weng for a long time, but I haven't had the opportunity."
The opportunity to communicate with the two gentlemen today is something I can't ask for. ”
Although Li Jie has worked in Indonesia for several years and has met several Chinese chaebol owners, he has basically not had in-depth conversations.
Now listening to Zhang Yida's tone, it seems that Lippo Group and Guoxin Group also want to cooperate with J&T Express.
With this kind of snake covering, he believes that it will solve a lot of trouble.
Especially Weng Junmin, he knows that this is a celebrity next to the Indonesian president.
"I heard that J&T Express entered the Indonesian market in 2015, and spread its outlets all over 17,508 islands in Indonesia that year, providing Indonesian people with unprecedented 365 days a year and free door-to-door service?"
Seeing Li Wenzheng asking himself, Li Jie replied modestly: "In fact, it is still with the help of the resources and team support accumulated by OPPO Indonesia in the local area. ”
Li Wenzheng smiled and shook his head, "Be modest, if you ask Indonesian locals to do this thing, you can't do it well, or we Chinese are hardworking, and in two years, we have achieved the first place in the Indonesian market and the second in the Southeast Asian market." ”
Li Jie is the founder of OPPO Indonesia, so he naturally knows what the local aborigines are, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are lazy to eat.
However, when it comes to sensitive topics, he didn't answer rashly, just smiled all the time.
Weng Junmin said with a smile: "J&T Express is amazing, it should be the first express company in Indonesia that truly covers the whole country.
If you continue to operate well, you will have the opportunity to become the largest express company in Southeast Asia. ”
Then, Weng Junmin looked at Zhang Yida again and asked, "Yida, how many domestic express companies in China are listed?"
"Four links and one reach, plus Shunfeng, plus Debang Logistics, which was listed a few months ago, there are currently a total of 7, each of which has a market value of tens of billions of yuan, and the market value of Shunfeng has reached more than 300 billion yuan. ”
Weng Junmin nodded, "China has a big market, and one express delivery industry can raise 7 private express companies with such a high market value." ”
Li Wenzheng squinted slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"Shunfeng is the first to go to sea, 9 years ago began to go to sea, last year is one of the three international logistics giants UPS, hand in hand, in one fell swoop to extend the tentacles to such as the United States, the European Union, Dongying and other 53 countries;
ZTO Express reached a cooperation with Cambodia Post some time ago, and Goudong's intelligent logistics center in Thailand has been fully implemented;
Best Hub is preparing to launch business in Thailand and Vietnam, and YTO is also planning to open a number of international routes and launch the "Global Flash Delivery" business. ”
Li Jie listened to Zhang Yida's speech very seriously, and he was also paying attention to the actions of the domestic express delivery giants, and felt a lot of pressure.
Especially Goudong, this guy goes to sea, unlike Ahri and Penguin, who travel lightly, and this one has to move the logistics system over.
Zhang Yida said with a smile: "There are three reasons why domestic express companies are going to sea: the increasingly fierce domestic competition, the rapid growth of cross-border e-commerce and the escort of the "Belt and Road" policy.
Taking cross-border e-commerce as an example, China's total trade volume is expected to be 9 trillion yuan this year, with a growth rate of more than 110%.
It's a big market, but you need to do a lot of decoration to eat a big piece.
The supply chain links, including China's domestic transportation, customs entry, international transportation, etc., cannot be handed over to a third party, and must be done by themselves, so as to reduce costs and make profits.
Now is the time for China's express delivery companies to go international, seize time and seize opportunities.
Who can become China's FedEx or DHL? Perhaps some clues can be seen from the current layout. ”
Zhang Yida's words seemed to have a kind of magic, and Li Jie listened to it all over.
It took him half a day before he reacted and said: "Mr. Zhang, it's not that we don't want to enter the country, we always feel that the current time is not very ripe." ”
Zhang Yida smiled, he knew that Li Jie had lofty ambitions, a pioneer who dared to open up the Indonesian market for OPPO, and a founder who pulled out a quasi-unicorn express company in two years, how could he tend to the status quo.
"Then tell me, why is the time not ripe?"
Seeing Zhang Yida's question, Li Jie replied 1510: "First of all, the Southeast Asian market is not stable, which is our basic market.
Just now, Mr. Zhang, you also mentioned that the domestic express giants are all staring at the overseas market like wolves.
In addition, J&T Express's orders are highly dependent on major e-commerce platforms.
If someone wants to kick us out, we don't have much ability to resist.
Secondly, domestic e-commerce platforms have fixed partners, or the market has been carved up by several express delivery giants.
If we want to gain a foothold, we have to get the support of a major e-commerce platform.
Last year, we received $100 million in investment from Blackshirt Capital, but most of it was used for the construction of logistics systems such as outlets, fleets, and warehousing in Southeast Asia.
If you really want to go back to China and fight with those giants, it's not enough to see it!"
Zhang Yida nodded with a smile, "I understand all the problems you said, and it is very simple to solve." ”
Li Wenzheng, who was on the side, opened his eyes and knew that the main drama had finally appeared.
Weng Junmin also set his sights on Zhang Yida, wanting to see how he could convince Li Jie.
Li Jie also looked like he was listening, and he also wanted to hear what kind of plan Zhang Yida would throw out.
"As long as you enter the country, Pindodo, Xiaohongshu and other e-commerce platforms controlled by me, orders can be tilted towards your J&T Express.
As for Southeast Asia, you don't have to worry. Several e-commerce websites invested by Ruixiang will be further integrated in the future, and the cooperative relationship with J&T Express will only deepen, not weaken.
Funding, that's not a problem. ”
"Money is not a problem", this sentence is put in other people's mouths, Li Jie may still have some doubts, but the richest man said this, there is absolutely no exaggeration.
Although Li Jie thinks that Zhang Yida's net worth is not yet fully mature because the company has not yet been listed, there is a little bit of water.
However, the two groups of Ruixiang and Zhonghe definitely have hundreds of billions of yuan in their hands.
In terms of money, I am afraid that only Penguin and Ahri can steadily overpower one of them in China.
Li Jie knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and Zhang Yida has offered so many favorable conditions, and the plan must be very big.
In particular, the sentence of integrating the invested e-commerce platform set off a storm in his heart.
"Mr. Zhang, just say it, what do you need me to do? Or what does J&T Express need to pay?"
Zhang Yida smiled, dealing with smart people is pleasant, and there is no need to go around.
