Chapter 714 Group buying is the biggest threat to Alibaba
Chapter 714: Pintuan is the biggest threat to Alibaba
”Your boyfriend died? When?”
”Just a few days ago.”
”You came to the conference after he died a few days ago?!”
”What’s the big deal? Pintuan employees have always been focused on work.”
After listening to this, Jia Yueting swallowed his saliva and thought to himself that Pintuan is the real wolf-like enterprise, no wonder you are invincible.
Jiang Qin ignored his shock, greeted several guests around him, and walked inside.
His presence seemed to bring a hint of inexplicable meaning to the scene. Although Pintuan had the least number of people present, it seemed to have the strongest presence, and the attention it received vaguely exceeded that of Alibaba and Tencent.
So much attention was not because of anything else, but because the several delegations present seemed to have been beaten by them, especially Bibi, Kuaidi and Uber, and the wounds were still hot.
But Jiang Qin was not a violent person who beat anyone he saw. The strange thing was that Pintuan had the most complete ecological chain, from supply to group buying, to takeout, delivery, maps, information and social networking, so that every company could not avoid this name.
At this time, Yu Yongjie led the Gaode delegation out of the crowd and stood with Pintuan.
Gaode is controlled by Pintuan, and can be regarded as a company under Pintuan. It was labeled as a Pintuan company as early as the group buying era.
So when Pintuan didn’t come, Yu Yongjie, who arrived first, really felt a sense of panic that he saw enemies everywhere but no friends, so he kept a low profile throughout the whole process.
But with the arrival of Jiang Qin, that sense of panic disappeared, and it turned into the pride of our two families who had once surrounded all of you – who dares to mess with us!
At this time, the scene seemed to be divided into three camps: Alibaba, Pintuan and Tencent, standing and facing each other. As for the Baidu camp, it seemed a little scattered.
However, although Jiang Qin was like a flood monster in the eyes of others, he was still quite kind and did not have that kind of arrogant attitude. As long as someone came to say hello, he would respond politely.
”Mr. Jiang, I have heard of your name for a long time.”
”How did you know that my daughter is about to be born? Do you want to come for a drink?”
”???????”
After a round of twists and turns, Jiang Qin reserved all the money for the next business war in the name of Jiang Ainan.
Sunai, Wei Lanlan and Dong Wenhao looked at each other in bewilderment, all a little embarrassed to get too close.
Seeing that the guests in the room had finished talking, Jiang Qin walked up to Travis and shook his hand.
”Old Travis, when are you going back to the United States? I’ll take you there.”
Jiang Qin’s English was poor, so he spoke in Chinese. Travis only understood half of what he heard and couldn’t help but look at Kang Jingtao behind him.
Kang Jingtao didn’t say anything, but thought to himself that this sentence might not mean sending you to the airport, but it seemed to mean kicking you out of the market…
The two delegations that arrived later made the presence of Pintuan even stronger, because both delegations had been fought by Pintuan, and they happened to be shareholders of each other before.
”Mr. Zhang, please come this way.”
”Okay.”
Under the bright sunlight and the bright red carpet, Zhang Xuhao of the Ele.Bu delegation and Zhang Tao of Dianping were invited by CCTV reporters to the camera. In
the 2013 payment war, Ele.Bu connected to Alipay and planned to encircle Pintuan, but was suppressed by Pintuan. Now its market share is only 31%.
Among the 31%, 13% were retained by group buying to feed their own supply chain.
It was that time that Ele.com seemed to have its foundation broken, and it failed to make any splashes after several attempts.
But nominally, Ele.com is still the second in the food delivery industry, and it is reasonable to be invited. Dianping is in a
similar situation to him. After the group buying war, Zhang Tao was hospitalized twice, and the staff was almost lost. Compared with group buying websites, Dianping is now more like a food review area.
In addition, Chen Jiaxin and Yang Xueyu also came with them.
Seeing these two people, Kang Jingtao, who was following Travis, couldn’t help but walk over and greeted them.
Kang Jingtao was a tough guy of Lashou.com, and Chen Jiaxin was the iron lady of Volkswagen. The two sides were originally competitors, but after many years, they met again and felt the joy of reuniting with old friends.
To be honest, when group buying rose to prominence as a group buying platform, it shattered the career dreams of many people. Only a few of them stayed in the Internet industry.
”Mr. Chen, Mr. Yang, long time no see.”
”Mr. Kang? You’re here too?”
Kang Jingtao smiled slightly: “Yes, I’m the operating officer of Uber now.”
Chen Jiaxin and Yang Xueyu were stunned for a moment, holding their breath, showing a slightly distressed expression.
They didn’t expect that there were old friends who were so stubborn and followed the footsteps of group buying. Let’s just say, do we have to do this in the Internet industry?
At this time, Cheng Wei and Chen Chuanxing were watching this scene, and they couldn’t help feeling a little heavy.
They knew that these three people were the legacy of the group buying war, and Ele.me was not in harmony with Dianping, and was also the last loser who was let off by group buying because of the Anti-Monopoly Law.
The two looked at their expressions of reunion after a long time, and suddenly felt a subtle sense of substitution.
”If group buying starts to sink into the market in an all-round way, in a few years, we may meet again in other industries like them.”
”Have you heard the news?” Chen Chuanxing couldn’t help but be stunned.
Cheng Wei glanced at Travis behind him and said, “Uber can’t hold on any longer. Didi will catch up soon.”
Chen Chuanxing pinched his fingers and said, “Let’s take it one step at a time.”
”Currently, Didi has two first-tier cities and five second-tier cities. I have six second-tier cities. You have one first-tier city and three second-tier cities. Do you think we can compete if we merge?”
”?”
Hearing Cheng Wei’s words, Chen Chuanxing couldn’t help but have an idea in his mind, but soon gave up.
Alibaba and Tencent have been incompatible for many years, so it is simply a pipe dream to merge Bibi and Kuaidi.
In fact, Cheng Wei also came up with this idea inadvertently, but after this idea came up, it has been hanging in his mind for a long time.
On the first day of the Internet Conference, after lunch, the opening ceremony officially began at three o’clock in the afternoon.
The invited guests arrived one after another. Jiang Qin walked to the front position, gently unbuttoned the top button of his suit, and sat on the left hand side of Ma Yun, which caused a lot of discussion on the scene.
To be honest, they have only seen such a young scene sitting in the front row at such a top national business exchange meeting in idol dramas.
Afterwards, representatives from various industries had to speak on stage.
Pang Rui spoke on the payment industry, and the second was Sunai.
In the new media industry, Dong Wenhao took the stage…
In the group buying industry, Wei Lanlan took the stage…
In the takeaway industry, Wei Lanlan took the stage…
In the logistics and supply chain industry, Dong Wenhao took the stage
… In the big data industry, Sunai took the stage…
In the afternoon, in addition to Jiang Qin, three people from Pintuan took turns to take the stage and made many appearances, which made many people fall into silence.
This is not an ordinary meeting. Those who can make speeches as representatives are all top players in the industry. Every time the Pintuan delegation appears more frequently, it is equivalent to Pintuan having one more field to dominate.
In the entire representative speech session, except for the e-commerce industry, which has nothing to do with the Pintuan delegation, Pintuan seems to be related to all the key development industries recognized by the country.
Uncle Ma sat on the right hand side of Jiang Qin, and communicated with Jiang Qin from time to time, but in fact he felt very heavy in his heart.
Pintuan has developed too rapidly, and the growth rate is unmatched. If it continues like this, the three BAT companies will really be led by P.
And Tencent’s CEO Ma felt the same way.
As for the Baidu delegation, they had a cold face throughout the whole session.
”In fact, group buying has probably already entered the ranks of BAT, but many people are unwilling to admit it.”
”Yes, except for e-commerce, they almost occupy all these major industries.”
”E-commerce? Do you think group buying can’t do e-commerce? Group buying supply chain now has logistics parks across the country. Whether to do it is just a matter of Jiang Qin’s words.”
During the intermission of the opening ceremony, Uncle Ma listened to the discussions around him and couldn’t help but feel a little restless.
From the perspective of passers-by, he was leaning against the wine table, holding a glass of water, and frowning.
Group buying has been unstoppable in recent years, but it has never touched e-commerce. But in fact, has he been idle in these years?
No.
Group buying supply chain has been continuously expanding, not to mention the Wanzhong Malls across the country, and as the most important foundation of e-commerce, group buying also has Cloud Flash Payment.
Uncle Ma really felt the threat from group buying, and the feeling of having a sword hanging over his head made him uneasy.
He has always regarded Tencent as his opponent, but one thing he has to admit is that, judging from the current development situation, the threat of group buying to Alibaba has far exceeded Tencent.
If Alibaba continues to fight with Tencent and ignores group buying, it may suffer a heavy blow in the future.
At this moment, Cheng Wei walked around the table for a while, looking around, as if wandering aimlessly, but after a while he suddenly changed direction and walked straight to Ma Yun.
”Hello, Mr. Ma.”
”Cheng Wei, your bleeping is good. I heard from Chen Chuanxing that you are a very courageous opponent. You are worthy of being an excellent talent that Alibaba has sent to society.”
Ma Yun patted his shoulder and pretended to be familiar.
But in fact, Cheng Wei’s previous position in Alibaba was not high, and Ma Yun did not have a deep impression of him.
Seeing that the other party was interested in chatting, Cheng Wei smiled and said, “Kuaidi is the one that Bibi needs to learn from, but unfortunately, we are still not as good as Didi.”
Mr. Ma’s smile gradually disappeared: “Pintuan’s current achievements are achieved bit by bit in the business war. It’s normal that you can’t win.”
”That’s true. I just talked to Chen Chuanxing. The little princess of Mr. Jiang’s family is about to be born. It is estimated that the focus will return to the family. We Bibi and Kuaidi merge at this time. Maybe there will be some opportunities.”
After listening to this, Ma Yun laughed, picked up the water cup and took a sip, and did not respond.
Cheng Wei’s idea is indeed good. Two against one always have some chance of winning, but the premise is that Tencent and Alibaba have made up their minds.
If this premise can be achieved, there will be no other voices in the entire Internet business circle.
For example, WeChat can support Taobao link jumps, Alipay and WeChat Pay share payment scenarios, how can Pintuan continue to grow.
But the two companies have been fighting for five or six years, and now WeChat Pay is closely following Alipay. It seems that this is not possible in this world.
