Chapter 439 Payment Insurance Incident

Qu Li is preparing for the Geometry of the Future press conference, and Lu Qi officially announced that Jumei has established "Tongda Network", which will build a "China Intelligent Backbone Logistics Network" domestically and provide services to all third-party platforms, attracting widespread attention from domestic and foreign media. and discussion.

The direct consequence was that Jumei's stock price fell, and within a few days it fell below the $200 billion market value.

The establishment of "Tongda Network" makes many people confused. Jumei Logistics cannot meet Jumei's needs. Why should such an open logistics company be established?Can you do whatever you want if you have money?

"We have no choice but to do this." Lu Qi gave the reason in an interview with the media. The development of Juhuasuan requires the services of social express companies, and the level of third-party express companies is uneven. The establishment of Tongda Network is the result of Jumei Information means……

"What about Jumei's open logistics services? Since Jumei Logistics cannot meet the needs of the platform, why does it need to provide services to external parties?" The reporter directly questioned Jumei's management for its success.

"Jumei Logistics specializes in 3C home appliances and fast-moving consumer goods..." Lu Qi also explained that Tongda Network also serves Jumei Logistics and social express delivery. It has a wide range of funding sources and is not an investment by Jumei alone...

"Our starting point is to improve the service level of domestic e-commerce logistics infrastructure..."

"Tongda Network is an independently operated entity..."

Jumei Logistics and Tongda Network have not yet been accepted by the public, and another "astonishing" news broke out. When Yahoo submitted its first-quarter financial report to the SEC, it disclosed a news that Ali Alipay had not been informed and approved by the Alibaba Group's board of directors and shareholders. An equity transaction was carried out to transfer the equity to a company controlled personally by Ma Yun and another founder...

It shocked the Internet at home and abroad for a while. Both Ali and Yahoo came to the forefront. Discussions about integrity were rampant. Taobao and Tmall were plunged into precarious turmoil.

The origin of this matter was Alibaba's acquisition of Yahoo China, or Yahoo's US$10 billion investment in Ali, accounting for 40% of the shares and 35% of the voting rights.However, in October last year, Ali’s founding team lost its privileges, which meant that they may lose control of Taobao Tianmao.

No one was willing to give in, so Ma Yun had to find a way. She initially wanted to buy back some shares from Yahoo, but the CEO of Yahoo was an unreasonable woman and directly rejected the Ali team.

Alipay is the only payment tool for Taobao Tianmao. More than 99% of payments on the two platforms are through Alipay. Its importance is self-evident. Without Alipay, Taobao will inevitably be hurt, so this became Ma Yun’s hand. A knife that can cut into Yahoo.

Just last year, the relevant departments issued payment regulations for non-bank institutions, and they conveniently used them as a shield. In fact, Ma Yun had transferred Alipay's shares to her personal name since 2009.As for why it didn’t break out until now, who knows?Probably at the end of March this year, Ma Yun completed the final layout and was about to issue a third-party payment license, so she gave Yahoo an ultimatum.

The behind-the-scenes of the payment insurance incident are both complex and simple, and can be analyzed clearly from the perspective of interests.The focus of domestic public opinion instantly shifted from Honor, Jumei, and "Tongda Network" to Ali Taobao Yun.

Ali Mayun has fallen into huge negative publicity, and it will be difficult to escape in the next few months. Moreover, by acting like this, how can she not let her partners feel chilled. The cooperation between "Tongda Network" and the express delivery company suddenly became smoother. What an "unexpected surprise"!

It stands to reason that "Tongda Network" is of greater value to Taobao. Ali should be prepared, such as setting up "Rookie Network", but now? Ma Yun has to deal with public doubts in China and the United States, and possible legal issues The lawsuit will also force Yahoo to make concessions to ensure the founder team’s control over Ali.

It can be said that Ali Taobao had no competitors at all in China until Jumei appeared. Lu Qi chatted with Qu Li on the phone. When talking about this matter, they really felt like a god was helping them.Some people who are paying attention to the competition in the domestic e-commerce market also talked about this: "Jumei has made a series of bad moves this year and is about to fall behind. Unexpectedly, Ahri has thrown itself into disarray..."

"Yeah, that kid is immature, but he's so lucky."

"Seven points are determined by nature, and three points depend on hard work. Just accept your fate..."

It is an open logistics platform, it is building a "Tongda Network" to serve third-party logistics, and it also needs to take into account domestic and foreign e-commerce retail business. I don't know how Lu Qi would cooperate with this kid.

There are many things that the outside world does not know. They ignore the strong profitability of Jumei itself. The domestic self-operated business itself has a gross profit of more than 15%, the foreign part is about 30%, and the Juhuasuan platform’s commission of about 4% of the transaction volume is considered Profit, revenue from external customers of Jumei Logistics, ancient song search, etc.Jumei's cash flow is higher than Ahli's, which means there is a gap in net profit.

But there is financial capital support behind Qu Li. Most non-key node warehousing centers are built at the expense of "others". Juyun Technology's data center was built at the expense of "others" and Jumei is responsible for the management.It is precisely because of this relationship that Yu’ebao, Jumeihui and Xiangjiang Fortune will cooperate.

When Ahli is in trouble, the people inside Jumei must be happy, especially Dadongzi and Xu Lei. The competitive pressure is suddenly reduced a lot, and they can dig out corners. Many people who did not want to open a store in Juhuasuan in the past have changed. Idea, if Taobao fails, at least there is a way out.

Naturally, Jumei will not attack Ali Mayun in public opinion, but if Jumei and Juhuasuan miss this rare opportunity, it will be unbearable and they will be struck by lightning.

Lu Qi asked Qu Li to go back to a meeting to preside over this poaching operation, but the press conference for What a Future is in preparation, of course Qu Li will not compete with Dadongzi and Xu Lei for credit.The two of them tried their best to talk on the phone. Although he knew that Ma Yun was in such a disaster, he didn't expect that he could take the opportunity to poach big customers.

By the way, Jumei seems to have no shortage of big customers. Jumei Logistics provides logistics services to a large number of domestic brands and already has a good foundation for cooperation.So, is Juhuasuan taking advantage this time?

It is said that the transaction volume of Juhuasuan has exceeded that of Jumei Goudong. This trend will most likely not be reversed in the future. Will Jumei change its name to Juhuasuan?Abandoning these messy thoughts, Qu Li refocused his attention on the launch of the CMGE Geometry Car.

The press conference was scheduled for May 5, and a lot of media were invited. Qu Li even wanted to invite overseas media to attend, but what if they were disappointed?If you have a good product, it will definitely sell well.It seems that no domestic car has been sold for more than 20 yuan. Can consumers accept it?

"Can you subsidize 6 yuan?" Qu Li went to Beijin City Hall to ask for money. The original price was 66 yuan, and the subsidy was 12 yuan. The selling price of 54 yuan should be very attractive, right?

"We still need to discuss this matter, and you didn't contact us earlier..."

"It's already early enough, we haven't even started building cars yet..."

“You want hunger marketing again?”

"What do you mean, we never do such shameless things..." Qu Li objected

"Then when will you have the ready-made car delivered?"

"We have to wait until the end of the year, our factory has not even started construction..."

Who said you have to have your own factory to produce cars? Can’t we build them purely by hand?

"You guys are so unreliable that it's hard for us to apply." The leader was embarrassed.

"But we are the only car company in the world that has mastered the core technologies of three electric vehicles!" Qu Li

"I'll think of a way..." The leader felt that he couldn't let the people who really do things feel cold.
