President Ma's pragmatic and generous answer won a round of applause at the scene.
Most people who know the current situation of the domestic Internet know that in recent years, with the sudden rise of Huizhong company, old bat, Sina, Sohu and other companies have been gradually overtaken.
The rise of Huizhong has absorbed their blood. The life of each family is not as easy as before.
However, the Internet industry has always worshipped the strong and subversive. People will only laugh at the decline of Nokia and Yahoo. Tencent can't keep up with the times. It won't blame Apple's innovation and the sudden rise of Huizhong.
On the contrary, the smartphone era created by Apple has attracted countless fruit fans all over the world. Huizhong wechat has gone abroad and made countless Chinese proud. Fang Zhe's high reputation in China even far exceeds that of Steve Jobs, who founded apple.
After President Ma answered three questions from the reporter, the scene entered the formal signing process. Fang Zhe and President Ma stood in the middle, Huizhong and other executives of Ali stood on both sides, and everyone stood in a row as the background. In front of them, Zheng Siwen, the signing representative of Huizhong, and Zhang Yong, the signing representative of tmall, signed and exchanged contracts with each other.
Shake hands and take photos. In the sound of photos taken by dozens of media, the signing ceremony of Huizhong investment in tmall was officially completed. Fang Zhe's happy smile became the biggest highlight of today's signing ceremony!
After the signing ceremony, Zhang Yong and other Ali executives returned to Hangzhou after attending the celebration banquet, but President Ma didn't go back together. He was invited by Fang Zhe to stay in Yanjing for another two days and talk about something else.
President Ma secretly guessed that he didn't know what medicine Fang zhe sold in his gourd. He didn't reveal the answer until that night when President Ma met Fang zhe waiting for him alone in a private club in the suburbs of Beijing.
"Logistics!" Fang zhe didn't say a few words to President Ma, so he frankly said his purpose of leaving him.
President Ma was shocked when he heard Fang zhe mention the word logistics. He was really worried and scared by Fang Zhe and Huizhong. From cloud computing to online payment to today's tmall, all Alibaba's family assets have Huizhong tentacles.
Now, he even cares about logistics!
Mr. Ma showed a fake smile on his face, but he was thinking about how to deal with it. Although he boasted earlier that Alibaba would never do logistics in his life, in the past two years, with its old rival Jingdong attracting many users with its own logistics warehousing and distribution as its selling point, Alibaba has to pay attention to logistics distribution.
Since the middle of last year, Alibaba has been in frequent contact with express companies in the logistics industry, such as three links and one arrival, SF and so on, to discuss the establishment of a joint venture logistics network. Now, this matter has been discussed for more than half a year. President Ma estimates that the joint venture should be established in two or three months.
But who could have thought that at this juncture, Fang zhe mentioned it in front of him.
Mr. Ma can guess even if he doesn't use his head. Fang zhechai won't chat with him casually. Since he mentioned it, he probably wants to participate in it.
play dumb? Filling Leng? Mr. Ma turned his eyes and pretended to be confused and asked:
"Logistics? Doesn't Fang always think express delivery is slow? Ali doesn't carry this pot. You have to ask boss Wang and boss Lai to go."
Hehe, it seems that President Ma doesn't have the talent to pretend to be stupid, but Fang zhe still said according to his words:
"Yes, I just don't think their express delivery is too slow. I'm going to rectify them. I don't know if you are interested in Ma?"
The smile on President Ma's face disappeared in an instant. It seems that he can't hide it. Listening to Fang Zhe's tone, he obviously knows something.
"Integration is good. You Huizhong are rich and powerful now. You can buy what you want and invest what you want. However, president Fang, I would like to advise you that not every company is willing to be invested and acquired. If Huizhong's business is too complex and listed in the future, I'm afraid many investors and shareholders can't understand and dare not invest money!"
Mr. Ma seemed to be comforting. In fact, he fought back. In his heart, he still didn't want Huizhong to intervene in the logistics industry closely related to the e-commerce industry.
Fang zhe smiled calmly and said as he continued his tea to the teacup with blue and white porcelain stripes in front of President Ma:
"Now the season hasn't come yet. We can't drink Longjing before tomorrow. Let's make do with it before the rain."
Mr. Ma sneered. As far as he knew, Fang Zhe in front of him was not a person who knew tea. He even showed off in front of him, an old Hangzhou man.
"Can you tell the difference between them?" Mr. Ma joked.
Fang zhe shook his head. The tea he drank was prepared by Li Wen or his private secretary, but he didn't care much about the doorway.
Mr. Ma shrugged. Obviously, he had nothing in common with Fang zhe about tea. In the twinkling of an eye, Fang zhe returned to the subject and said:
"There are specialties in the technology industry. In fact, I don't know much about the logistics industry than tea. I just feel that in the mobile Internet era, express companies fight their own battles, and the express logistics information is chaotic and opaque. Many times, I don't know where the express goes.
There is also fast delivery and slow delivery. Your Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai parcel post areas are OK, but in other parts of China, especially in the fourth and fifth tier cities and even villages and towns, an express can't be delivered in a week, so don't you think, President Ma, this situation should be improved? "
President Ma smiled and thought you were right, but improving logistics is the business of the express company. Is it none of your business?
In his mouth, President Ma said perfunctorily: "improvement should be improved. Fang always has such a sense of social responsibility. I'll thank you for the hundreds of millions of hand choppers on Taobao first.
To be honest, recently, we Ali also discussed this matter with several logistics companies such as Shunfeng, three links and one da in the United Nations. We Taobao and tmall have tens of millions of Express items to deliver every day. It is our duty for the United Express Company to improve the domestic logistics environment.
I believe that in two years, president Fang, you can feel the change and don't have to complain any more! "
President Ma directly admitted that Ali was studying the establishment of a logistics company, but the subtext of his words was that he was reluctant to join the crowd.
"Don't you want me not to intervene?" Fang zhe thought. At Fang Zhe's level, a few words can't measure the thickness of his face.
"Mr. Ma, don't you think that as soon as the three links reach these express companies, they only send you the express of Taobao and tmall?
Jingdong has built its own logistics, but the e-commerce platforms such as honey bud, Jumei premium products, vipshop and Aimei also need them to deliver express! "
Fang zhe clearly argued that you Ma always don't want me and Huizhong to intervene, but with so many e-commerce platforms behind Huizhong, can you agree to three links and one access?
