Chapter 101: Scared
After the dinner was over, and when we went to the tea house to take a tea break, an important conversation related to the formation of the future business empire began.
It is difficult for one person to do everything, and even God cannot control all human beings.
Zhang Zhen needs some resources to help speed up the birth of his business empire, and Liu Qiangdong is one of the options.
Liu Qiangdong has made a lot of preparations for this meeting, he doesn't know the existence of Miracle International, and he doesn't know more about Zhang Zhen, the potential of the smart rice cooker alone makes him very valuable, at present, Jingdong is just developing overseas shopping, selling overseas goods to China, and selling domestic goods to Ali is progressing faster.
So he feels the pressure and has been trying to expand the influence of JD.com, if Ali seizes the overseas market, then JD.com can only be the second forever, and may even have to turn to other industries to maintain development in the future.
"Mr. Zhang, your company's smart rice cooker now almost monopolizes the sales of similar products, and almost all the sales of other rice cookers on the platform have plummeted to more than 50%, and even the sales of the entire smart kitchenware have plummeted, and this influence continues to deepen, which is really a business miracle." Liu Qiangdong took the lead in opening the topic.
Zhang Zhen tasted a gram of famous tea of thousands of yuan and said with a faint smile: "This achievement is inseparable from Mr.'s e-commerce platform, to be honest, people like me who don't have much time to select products, I used to buy things on Jingdong." ”
Liu Qiangdong was very happy to hear Zhang Zhen complimenting him, after all, now he and Ali are two competitors, and said with a smile: "I'm not modest, the brand effect is our focus on development, every consumer buys something on Jingdong as comfortable as going to a brand store, don't worry about the quality of goods and after-sales problems." ”
Zhang Zhen smiled, of course he didn't joke about the second-hand things that were circulating in the market, Ali still has a fake treasure.
Liu Qiangdong continued: "Smart rice cooker is now gradually becoming the most influential new brand in China, and our platform is also sparing no effort to help Mr. shape the brand image, I don't know what kind of development Mr. will have in the future, what cooperation can be carried out between the two sides?" ”
Zhang Zhen found that Liu Qiangdong was unusually modest, which is really rare, and he didn't put on a score: "I will continue to improve the quality of the rice cooker, and there may be a new generation of products with richer functions in the future, of course, the sales will also focus on the e-commerce platform, and the cooperation with Jingdong has made me gain a lot, so our cooperation will not end." ”
Liu Qiangdong nodded, but this was not something he could be satisfied with, so he simply said directly: "What does Mr. think about the matter of selling overseas, and when will he be ready to start?" ”
Zhang Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "I know what Mr. meant by making an appointment with me, but I'm afraid Mr. won't accept my overseas plan." ”
Liu Qiangdong was stunned, he was puzzled: "Any conditions can be discussed." ”
Zhang Zetian, who was chatting with Soho on the side, also listened attentively, and she was curious about what kind of conditions this new-generation business genius who became famous overnight would make JD.com unacceptable.
Zhang Zhen took a sip of tea and said: "If it is not difficult to simply sell the rice cooker overseas, I can not even find overseas consignment, and only hand over the sales right to you Jingdong or Ali, even if it is very simple to cooperate with you to open a factory overseas, but this just opens a road to the overseas market, and the occupation of the overseas market is far away." ”
Liu Qiangdong was even more surprised when he heard this, and he was still puzzled: "I won't hide the fact that I want to borrow a rice cooker to open up the overseas market, but I don't understand what Mr. means, doesn't Mr. just want to sell the rice cooker overseas?" ”
Zhang Zhen nodded and said: "Even if I give you the exclusive overseas sales right, what you have opened is not a small channel, and it is difficult for Huaxia's goods to be sold to the world, and this vision may be a long-term strategic plan for ten or twenty years, which is not the best plan." ”
Zhang Zetian is a young man after all, his ideas are bold and outspoken, and he couldn't help but interject: "Mr. Zhang's intention is to conquer the overseas market faster, rather than simply selling rice cookers overseas?" ”
Zhang Zhen smiled: "Yes, that's it. ”
Liu Qiangdong was even more confused, he looked at Zhang Zhen confidently drinking tea with a hesitant face, why does a rice cooker manufacturer have a plan to occupy overseas markets, relying on a rice cooker This is really whimsical, they Jingdong has successful experience and industry in China before they want to expand overseas, Zhang Zhen also wants to do so, is he going to do an e-commerce platform?
Thinking of this, he was shocked, looking at the lady who was worried and puzzled with the same face, the two of them felt that this matter was too mysterious, no matter how successful the smart rice cooker was, it was just a product, but how did it feel like it was going to annex JD.com.
Zhang Zhen found that Soho was glaring at her, he scared the couple, put down the teacup and smiled: "Sounds a little crazy, right, but if I don't have a rice cooker behind me, but the entire new generation of intelligent industry chain, there is a batch of products that innovate human life like a rice cooker, do you think it is better to only sell overseas or build the world's largest market?" ”
Liu Qiangdong and Zhang Zetian were surprised that their mouths could be stuffed into eggs at this time, and they didn't expect the meeting they had been looking forward to, it turned out that it was not just the issue of the overseas sales right of the rice cooker that they were concerned about, the other party had greater ambitions than them.
If this ambition is placed on others, it is difficult for them to believe, and it is difficult to believe in Zhang Zhen and they have to consider the possibility, there is no way to investigate how capable this miracle company that suddenly came out of nowhere, and reason tells them that this is a bit of a fool's dream.
Liu Qiangdong's face was a little solemn and said: "Sir, I'm not kidding, expanding the market and occupying the market is not the same concept." ”
Zhang Zhen knew that the other party would not be able to accept it for a while, so he got up and said with a smile: "It's not too early, let's leave first, and I will take the initiative to talk to Mr. Liu when the time is right." ”
"Mr. Liu, goodbye Mrs. Liu." Soho hurriedly got up to say goodbye.
Liu Qiangdong and Zhang Zetian felt uncomfortable, but they still sent Zhang Zhen and Soho away from the villa with a smile.
Watching the car leave, Liu Qiangdong was still shocked and said: "Tian'er, is he trying to annex us?!" ”
Zhang Zetian also looked suspicious, but nodded and said: "Brother Dong, this young chairman is too mysterious, and his thoughts always seem to be ahead of us. ”
Liu Qiangdong went to the villa and thought straightly: "Did Ali hear any news over there?" ”
Zhang Zetian said: "I heard that Alibaba's overseas research department has been active overseas, but I haven't heard any news about what kind of project it is. ”
"Inquire more, I don't feel like this Zhang Zhen is drunk and talking big, this matter has to be taken seriously." Liu Qiangdong frowned, this long-awaited meeting did not bring any joy, but it made him feel in a deep crisis.
Over there, Soho excitedly took the car to Zhang Zhen's villa nearby, and at the same time worried: "Brother Zhen, you scared Mr. Liu and his wife, will this affect our cooperation?" ”
"Madame welcomes you to my son's private residence." Zhang Zhen came to the car and stretched out his hand to pick up Soho, and then said with a smile: "I must be scared, but it will never affect our rice cooker, Ali would love to have a single-owned rice cooker." ”
