Fang zhe kept smiling. Because of the system, Hong Kong media reporters have always dared to write and speak more than mainland media reporters.
It would be fine if the reporter said such things casually in Hong Kong, but on the mainland, on today's occasion, the reporter's question is a bit divisive and inappropriate.
"This beautiful reporter from South China Morning Post, please speak carefully. Huizhong and Alibaba have many businesses, including competition and cooperation.
As for the communication and wechat competition you mentioned, it is a normal business competition behavior. Good competition can promote the common progress of both sides, and it is common to seek common ground while reserving differences and cooperate with each other in the competition.
The cooperation between tmall and wechat is based on the huge common interests of both of us. There is no secession and peace you said. Ali is a large company with broad prospects and does not need to secession and peace from any company! "
Fang Zhe's answer won a lot of applause at the scene. On Ali's side, President Ma's face eased slightly, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. Even though Huizhong is ahead of Alibaba in hbat, Alibaba, supported by its core e-commerce business, does not need to look at Huizhong's face, let alone seek peace.
The reporter of the South China Morning Post asked such a bad question in order to sell his own newspaper and attract attention. In his heart, President Ma has put the South China Morning Post on the blacklist of Ali public relations, and even plans to find a chance to beat it.
Fang zhe looked at President Ma with a slightly relaxed face. He was relieved. It was very important to gather people to buy shares in tmall. He didn't want to affect the relationship between the two companies because the reporter of the South China Morning Post was a clown. At the bottom of his heart, Fang zhe also pulled the South China Morning Post into the blacklist.
In the twinkling of an eye, Fang zhe thought that Alibaba had invested in and acquired a number of media companies such as newspapers because of its weak public opinion and public relations ability in the media industry in the previous life. The South China Morning Post is one of them. I don't know whether Alibaba will buy the South China Morning Post in this life and the current episode.
Some thoughtful reporters at the scene have cast compassionate eyes on Chen Wen, and even several reporters standing around her have deliberately distanced themselves from her.
Many experienced old reporters know that in their business, they are not afraid to offend celebrities or stars. They are afraid to offend some large enterprises with capital and strength. Although Hong Kong has a different constitution from the mainland, I'm afraid there are no big bosses in Hong Kong. They are willing to offend Huizhong and Alibaba for a small reporter.
After the applause returned to calm, Fang zhe lit up a blonde foreign media reporter. This is also the last question Fang zhe intends to answer at today's signing ceremony.
The male reporter of foreign media is handsome and has a magnetic voice. He comes from CNN. After being selected by Fang Zhe, he first thanked Fang Zhe and then said slowly in English:
"Hello, Mr. Fang Zhe, does wechat intend to open a similar secondary entrance outside China? If so, will it choose to access Amazon, eBay and other overseas platforms, or only Chinese e-commerce companies?"
Fang zhe had long expected such a question. He answered with confidence:
"I can definitely tell you that we have such plans. If the cooperation conditions are mature, we are very willing to cooperate with any overseas e-commerce platform such as Amazon and eBay.
However, at this stage, due to the policy environment, user experience, payment channels and other issues, we can only try to cooperate with domestic e-commerce enterprises in China.
After finding out the right experience and the overseas opportunities and conditions are ripe, we will also add a similar secondary entrance to the wechat overseas edition, so that overseas wechat users can more conveniently enjoy e-commerce shopping services. "
After the reporter got Fang Zhe's satisfactory answer, he sat down quietly. Fang zhe looked at Ma Zong under the stage, and they knew it.
For this problem just now, in addition to the reasons mentioned by Fang Zhe, there is another reason, that is, to give Alibaba enough time to go to sea. The later the wechat overseas version is launched, the more fully Alibaba's plan to go to sea will be prepared. This is also one of the conditions for tmall to accept Huizhong investment.
After Fang zhe stepped down, President Arima also came to the stage, gave a short speech and accepted questions from reporters present.
"Many people tell me why you Alibaba, a big company, are willing to accept Huizhong's investment in the domestic e-commerce industry (Mr. Ma holds out his thumb), No. 1, which accounts for such a large market.
Alibaba was founded in 1999. Today, it is a large enterprise with a history of 14 years. Huizhong was founded in 2008. It has been less than 5 years since its establishment, nearly 10 years younger than us.
They said, aren't you ashamed to be invested by such a start-up company that has only been established for a few years?
Is Alibaba dying? What percentage growth of Gmv every year is an illusion.
Even the reporter of the South China Morning Post said just now that we are seeking peace by ceding territory.
ha-ha!
What I want to say to these people is that you are too simple, too naive and too old-fashioned!
Alibaba is the leader of the e-commerce industry in China (Mr. Ma gives his thumb). No.1, globally and internationally? Amazon and eBay, we still have many competitors abroad, as well as many markets and opportunities.
Although Alibaba was founded in 1999, if calculated according to the age of mankind, it is just a 14-year-old boy. If Alibaba can really become a 102 year old enterprise in the future, 14 is just the beginning.
Huizhong, I sometimes really think that the current situation is a terrible thing. Although the Internet entered China more than a decade ago, Baidu, Tencent and Alibaba were all born at that time.
But at the beginning, we were ignorant, had no clue, and didn't know what the current situation was. Like headless flies, we estimated which direction might be right, and then worked hard in that direction and flew in that direction.
It was not until more than ten years later that we grew to today's scale and height.
However, since its birth in 2008, Huizhong has controlled the current situation just like the open book examination. Not only the domestic current situation, but also the foreign current situation have been well stepped on by Huizhong, so it has grown to today in only five years, far exceeding the scale and height of our other three companies.
Earlier or later, Huizhong can't have today's achievements. Therefore, I think Huizhong company came into being. The fate of the whole era stands behind it and pushes it forward. If we cooperate with it, we may also feel that rowing does not need oars and depends on the waves!
Feel the rocket speed of Huizhong development! "
