Chapter 969 E-commerce Logistics
Since the acquisition of GLOBALFOUNDRIES, Chartered Semiconductor has a stake in Mubadala Investments, which means that the UAE has joined in, accounting for less than 30% of the shares, and he will not let anyone but himself have a veto.
With outsiders joining, licensed semiconductors are more eye-catching, although the gap between technology and TSMC is more obvious, but in addition to TSMC and Intel, there are no other opponents in the world. This kind of market position is very powerful, and if there is a price war with TSMC, it will naturally greatly reduce the profits of both sides. If everyone has restraint, then it will be easy to speak. It is precisely because of this tacit understanding that the Liang Mengsong incident did not bring much loss to the licensed semiconductor in the end.
TSMC did not have much impact on the franchise, but the rapid increase in the income of employees in the domestic high-tech industry still brought a lot of trouble to the franchise. The income level of semiconductor elites in the magic capital and Singapore's income is approaching, and even beginning to surpass, coupled with the fact that the two places attach different importance to this industry, there is a big gap in policy treatment. In other words, Singapore's advantages are gradually disappearing......
Even so, Singapore is still very important to him, not that his investment in companies such as GrabTaxi has become important, but because Singapore is the world's fourth foreign exchange trading center outside New York, London, Tokyo, and the fifth is Xiangjiang. There are also convenient tax incentives and a talent market, and it is also a trade center and financial center in Asia......
To explain, at the end of 2015, Singapore managed US$1.8 trillion in assets, 80% of which came from abroad. It can also be understood as mainly the wealth of neighboring Southeast Asian countries.
Singapore is protected by a lighthouse state, and neighboring countries dare not easily offend, let alone occupy it, and even cut off water and electricity. The Lighthouse Nation's Seventh Fleet is docked here!
You must know that corruption and coups are emerging one after another in Southeast Asia, and all kinds of forces are singing and disappearing, and putting money in a place where politics is stable, the rule of law, and personal property is protected. Singapore is one of the most suitable places to be around. However, society is developing, and the demand for money and the like will be much lower.
Singapore is only a temporary habitat and it is difficult to maintain a long-term advantage. It can only be said that the initial development of this city is inseparable from the friendship and "support" of the brothers of the surrounding countries!
Galaxy Capital's licensed semiconductors are for Huaxia, and if the international situation is eased in the future, it is likely to move to mainland China. Avago is also unreliable, and after the acquisition and integration of Broadcom, it is likely to move the registration location to the lighthouse country. It's not that I'm afraid of the court here, but the business needs are different. For example, the international headquarters of the Four Elephants Fund is oriented to Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Middle East, so it is necessary to continue to stay in Singapore.
He is not very clear about how to grasp the balance between guarding against possible risks and not blocking his progress because of the existence of risks. Fortunately, the mouth cannon of the Lion City, which is making waves, can do it, but it does not dare to face the anger of the big country. Zhu Yunlai and others are quite relieved here, after all, as long as the laws here do not conflict with the interests of the lighthouse countries, they are very fair to most countries.
Walking through Singapore's high-tech industrial park, Zhou Shi and Zhu Yunlai chatted about the advantages and disadvantages of the place. Standard Chartered's affairs are not very urgent, TNT Express is the most important. Said to be a courier company, TNT's logistics are also strong. For him, logistics is more important than the express company, because it involves a logistics supply chain management problem.
For example, Guoke has established Guoke flagship stores in hundreds of first-tier cities around the world, and the sales situation of each store or each country and region is different, which involves complex logistics management problems on the road.
The importance of modern supply chain management to logistics enterprises is reflected in five aspects: reducing inventory storage, strengthening the link of logistics system, shortening unit order processing time, increasing the response speed of logistics system, and improving logistics service level.
The comprehensive cost of transporting the same commodity by itself may be fifteen yuan, and the logistics company will only charge you ten yuan, and the speed is fast and the service is good.
In an important industry, it has its own strength, which is similar to Apple's selection of several companies to spare in order to ensure the security of the iPhone supply chain. It's just that Apple is for a company, and Zhou Shi has to think about the whole group. Logistics express delivery in the same city is a key part of the combination of online and offline, virtual and reality, and their value will be higher and higher while human beings are becoming more and more inseparable from logistics and express delivery companies.
The previous Sitong Yida was almost completely prostrate under Ali's clutches, and there was almost no possibility of resistance. However, the emergence of Ping Duoduo has changed this status quo, and the emergence of an omnipotent Taobao is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing, although the cost of opening a store is very small, but the operating cost of e-commerce has been rising. The biggest contributor to Ali's revenue seems to be advertising revenue, which is the cost of e-commerce.
The emergence of Ping Duoduo has changed the pattern of Taobao's dominance in a very short period of time and has achieved great success. So that Sitong Yida and other express delivery companies have the possibility of saying no to Ali. In addition, Pingduoduo takes single products as the core and attaches importance to products, while Ali Taobao takes store products as the core and attaches importance to sellers. Coupled with low-cost traffic acquisition, it finally achieved the glory of Pingduoduo.
Similarly, there is more room for growth, as well as options other than Ali. TNT does not need to worry about no room for growth, although the platform is good, logistics express is the foundation.
In this life, Ping Duoduo also appeared, but Huang Zheng had nothing to do with him, and his mentor Duan had nothing to do with Zhou Shi. So it was blocked by the WeChat of time.,Friends has its own e-commerce platform.,And expanded the category.,So there is no cooperation with Ping Duoduo;So Ping Duoduo cooperated with Penguin QQ,But QQ users are basically gamers now,Ping Duoduo wants to copy the legend of the previous life,It's almost impossible to achieve。 Of course, the current Huang Zheng has no way of knowing the miracles he created in his previous life, so there is nothing to complain about.
Zhou Shi didn't have much affection for Ping Duoduo, and he didn't know the logic of his success, so naturally he couldn't materialize their success. However, if you have money, you can naturally toss, and he asked Wang Feng to do digital transformation in Carrefour at the same time, and also set up an e-commerce department. Through the purchasing experience of traditional retail enterprises, we have discovered those high-quality and low-cost products at home and abroad, and made an Internet version of Costco Supermarket!
