Chapter 646: Connecting Horizontal and Vertical
"Actually, I also think it's not good to do logistics repeatedly, especially since we have jointly invested in international daigou. In the future, we will expand into the world, and if we have each logistics company, not to mention the dispersion of forces, there will be internal competition. However, we are building a logistics company together, and with the strength of our two enterprises, I am afraid that there is nowhere to go. Ma Yun said sincerely.
His analysis is very reasonable, in the case of common interests and goals, it is a very stupid thing to decentralize forces and compete internally. Entering the international market and logistics finance are inseparable, if these two can be integrated, then the strength of international purchasing will be strong.
At present, the integration of international purchasing agents is only a part of the capital, as well as the platform architecture technology, and a small part of the manpower. In this kind of cooperation, the strength of international purchasing agents is actually very empty, and the investment of 10 billion yuan seems to be very large, but it is far from enough to see it in the world.
"It's the same with micropayment and Alipay, and now the competition between the two of us is too fierce to benefit us and users. On the one hand, our funds are dispersed, and on the other hand, users have to use multiple payment software and cannot enjoy a wider range of services. If we integrate them, the funds of micropayment and Alipay can be accommodated together, and presumably both parties will have a big improvement. Ma Yun said.
This suggestion is undoubtedly very tempting, but Hang Yu and the three of them are very hesitant.
Hang Yu has already seen that Ma Yun's purpose is nothing more than to win head-on, so he wants to "make peace with the mud".
It is difficult for one side to completely defeat the other side of two powerful groups, and even if it wins, it will be seriously injured and let other interest groups take advantage. So and the mud is a very good idea, but this tactic rarely succeeds.
The key lies in whether the powerful party can accept this kind of "loss-making" cooperation.
At this time, an interesting situation arises, Ali and Jiang Yan are very similar to China and the United States.
Our country doesn't always emphasize that you have me and I have you, in fact, it is this approach proposed by Ma Yun. But what about the US imperialism, because it is currently on the stronger side, and it suffers somewhat from the mud, so it is very unhappy.
The goal of US imperialism is to maintain its hegemonic status, and if it makes peace with China, it is tantamount to sitting back and watching and even helping China develop. As a result, no one can kill anyone, and even China has a chance to surpass US imperialism in a peaceful situation!
Hang Yu also faced a similar choice to the US imperialists at this time, but it was not exactly the same.
On the whole, it is beneficial to have mutual financing with Ali, and the cooperation between micropayment and Alipay is almost invincible in the world. But Ali took advantage of it even more, and it was uncomfortable for anyone to change it.
At this time, it is a leader's mind that is tested, and Hang Yu is difficult to make a decision for a while.
"I know what you're hesitating about, Alipay's market share is gradually shrinking, while micropayments are expanding. In this case, you can say that you are sure to win, but don't forget that we also have a lot of options. You know, there are quite a few people who want to invest in Alipay, and I can always look for new partners. Ma Yun said.
"Are you threatening me?" asked Hang Yu.
If Ma Yun cooperates with companies such as Tencent and Baidu Shanda, Alipay still has hope of turning over. He wanted to use this to tell Hang Yu that cooperation is a win-win situation, and if he doesn't cooperate, he can only fight to the death.
"No, I just wanted to tell you a story. Ma Yun waved his hand and said: "You should know that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Su and Qin joined forces with the six countries to resist Qin, and you are now the Qin State." ”
"After the award, I don't dare to compare with the Qin State, which dominates the world. Hang Yu said.
"The reason is the same, the reason why the Qin State was able to conquer the six countries was that in addition to being good at war, it was actually very skilled in political means. Su Qin formed the Six-Power Alliance, and wore the seal of the Six Kingdoms, so that Qin did not dare to send a letter to Guan Gu for fifteen years. Later, King Qin Hui named Zhang Yi as the prime minister, and Zhang Yi sent an envoy to the six countries to break through the vertical, so that the six countries changed from fighting Qin to Lianheng Qin. Ma Yun said.
"And then?" asked Hang Yu.
"Even enemies can be used by me, and besides, we are not mortal enemies, we are just doing business. If Hang Dong blindly uses competitive means to suppress other enterprises, in order to survive, we have no choice but to join in. If you're willing to do it, I'd love to work with you. Ma Yun said.
His meaning is very simple: no matter how good your Jiangyan company is, it is impossible to fight against the entire Internet. Qin Guo is so capable of fighting, and he still has to engage in the art of connecting horizons, and Jiang Yan's company's current approach is too "unique".
Ma Yun pondered how to deal with Jiangyan Company, and finally he found that Jiangyan Company was not without weaknesses. Its weakness is that it involves too many businesses, e-commerce, games, finance, logistics, construction, etc., and each of them is so powerful.
At the same time, Jiangyan Company also suppressed many companies, such as Tencent, which was bullied badly.
Ma Yun is already thinking that if Hang Yu does not agree to cooperate, cooperating with Tencent is a good way. Although QQ has also been suppressed, the user base is still huge, which is enough to add fuel to Ali's fire.
It's really not good, and then pull some other Internet giants, Baidu NetEase 360 and the like.
Ma Yun really doesn't believe it, and he can't fight Hang Yu with several giants.
"No, the Six Kingdoms even perished in the end, so you should choose to join forces. Hang Yu said.
"It's just a metaphor, if I only think about domestic causes, I should naturally choose Hezong. But my real ideals and goals are abroad, in the world, so we think that Lianheng is more beneficial. Ma Yun said.
"Nice ideals. Hang Yu nodded.
It can be heard that Ma Yun is also a person with a sense of the overall situation, and his overall view is not limited to China.
Such an opponent, Hang Yu still admires it.
If Ma Yun joins forces with other giants and fights to the death with Jiang Yan Company, the final result is unpredictable, and there is a great possibility of losing both. Because the capital of both sides is huge, if it gets into a price war or something like that, it will be really fatal.
The previous price war was not limited to Jiangnan Mall, and the clothing field was so tense.
