Chapter 526: 100 billion US dollars? Forbes is too conservative! 28 US dollars, I'll buy 2 million!
In the second half of mid-December, the cooperation between Senlian Capital and Yidong became increasingly close.
Some of Dongdong’s suppliers only discovered when they were delivering goods to the warehouse that the address given by the business waiter was actually the central warehouse of Yunsu Express.
"That's right! Give the delivery note to their staff. Once they finish tallying the goods, the backend inventory will be updated."
In response to the supplier's doubts, the business management clerk explained.
Although it was not stated explicitly, the merchants were not stupid and reacted immediately.
The cooperation between Senlian Capital and Yidong is obviously much deeper than the outside world expected.
Soon, some brands discovered that their goods were supposed to be sent to Yunsu’s central warehouse and then distributed to the forward warehouse, but ended up entering Yunsu’s Asia No. 1 warehouse.
It is obvious that Senlian Capital and Yidong are sharing logistics and warehousing resources.
Of course, the effect is also very significant. More and more products are delivered on the same day or next day by Pinbei and Yidong.
Compared with Tmall Mall, the delivery speed is too fast.
Just imagine, in the past, it took two or three days to deliver goods within the province, and three to five days to deliver goods across provinces. But now, on Pinbei and Yidong, if you place an order before 11 a.m., it will be delivered on time before 9 p.m. Who can resist this?
The traffic, order volume and transaction volume of the two platforms have therefore increased significantly!
The market pie is so small that Ali's market share is naturally squeezed and shrunk.
"Yidong will definitely lose! Building its own logistics and warehouses is too stupid and too heavy!"
“E-commerce should adopt an asset-light operation model!”
At Ali's headquarters in Hangzhou, Ma Liyun sat in his office with a gloomy face, and the words he had said kept appearing in his mind.
At this moment, he had to admit that combining e-commerce and express delivery was a complete business model.
After Pinbei shared the warehousing and logistics system with Yidong, it quickly expanded its same-day and next-day delivery business coverage. With the advantage of delivery time, it snatched a lot of orders from Tmall Mall.
Ali has to take control of his own courier company!
Ma Liyun narrowed his eyes and immediately made a decision to change the control of Best Express from investment to full acquisition.
At the same time, we will also acquire a logistics company, starting from the first and second tier cities, to shorten the delivery time of Yaomao Supermarket to one day.
Ali has shortcomings in its logistics system, and it is definitely not possible to deliver within half a day, but it can start with next-day delivery.
For a time, the three major e-commerce platforms were all making efforts in the logistics track.
The other side.
Byron, former vice president of Walmart Greater China and current CEO of Orange Supermarket, and Hou Yi, former chief logistics planner of Yidong, with the assistance of the administrative and human resources departments, established the company's headquarters in Caohejing Industrial Park and began to prepare for recruitment.
In the morning, Hou Yi took the site selection specialists from the market development department to inspect the nearby commercial CBD and large communities. While conducting on-site visits, conducting business district research and collecting data, they analyzed the flow of people, consumption capacity and distribution of competitors, and made a preliminary assessment of the feasibility of alternative locations.
In the afternoon, Byron and I visited domestic suppliers, distributors and brands to prepare supplies for Orange Supermarket’s first batch of stores.
From fresh food cold chain suppliers to regional general agents of daily necessities, the two of them negotiated with each company one by one with a list of cooperation prepared in advance.
Relying on the supply chain resources accumulated during his time at Walmart, Byron was able to immediately state the terms that the other party cared about most, such as payment period, deduction rate, rebate conditions, and cost sharing.
To put it simply, there is money to be made, no risk, and smooth cooperation!
Hou Yi supplemented the details of warehousing and distribution: "We have more than 2,700 central warehouses and forward warehouses in East China, North China, and South China. We can achieve a 48-hour inventory turnover for fresh produce."
Orange Supermarket can use the warehousing, cold chain, etc. of Yunsu and Kuapao.
Of course, there is a fee to pay.
After all, Yunsu and Kuapao are not Chen Yansen’s sole proprietorships, and the interests of other investors must also be considered.
Whenever Hou Yi encounters distributors who are on the sidelines about Orange Supermarket, he always takes out a document he carries with him.
It showed a map of over 2,700 warehousing nodes, and then added, "We can directly leverage Yunsu's trunk transportation and Kuapao's last-mile delivery. Your company's products can also be sold on Kuapao and Pinbei. Sign a contract and enjoy multi-faceted sales channel resources."
Chen Yansen made it very clear to them that once Orange Supermarket’s product categories were complete, it would join Pinbei and Kuaipao as a third-party merchant, thereby gaining hundreds of millions of exposures.
Almost no business can resist the temptation of such a large amount of traffic!
Byron and Hou Yi's work went extremely smoothly.
At the same time, the three projects of Orange Automobile, Orange Supermarket and Orange Garment are all progressing in an orderly manner.
The number of new employees joining the company every day is like a snowball, increasing day by day.
…
…
"Xucheng doesn't have an airport?"
Before leaving, Zhang Weili discovered that the destination on the plane ticket handed to him by his assistant was Pengcheng.
"Mr. Zhang, Xucheng is a fifth-tier city. Compared to Yanjing, there are still several levels between them."
While explaining, the assistant handed over a printed itinerary with the flight times from Yanjing to Pengcheng and the subsequent high-speed rail services marked with a highlighter.
"Damn! I only heard that the headquarters of Senlian Capital was located in a remote area before, but I never had any idea. Now I understand."
Zhang Weili said with a wry smile.
He had only met Zuo Hongyu and Cao Dahua before, and had never dealt with the helmsman of Senlian Capital.
After getting on the plane, Zhang Weili leaned back in his seat, pondering the information about Chen Yansen over and over again in his mind.
At the age of 21, his net worth exceeded 100 billion US dollars. He was the new richest man in the world according to Forbes in 2013. He owns the second largest e-commerce company in China, the largest express delivery company in China, and the third largest mobile phone company in the world.
In addition, remarkable achievements have been made in food delivery, group buying, online ride-hailing, electronic navigation, short videos, information, mobile browsers, search engines, lithium-sulfur batteries and electronic payment tools.
Overseas media called him a stronger version of Bill Gates, and some compared Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg to the "Lighthouse Country version of Chen Yansen."
Even in Taiwan, Chen Yansen has a large group of fans.
The admiration for the strong exists regardless of gender.
Chen Yansen's strength has reached the level of transcending nationality.
This is also the main reason why Chen Yansen has such high popularity and topic on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
100 billion US dollars?
Zhang Weili sneered. He thought that Forbes magazine's calculation method was too conservative. Just based on the Pinbei mall, Chen Yansen was about to gain a net worth of 60 billion US dollars in North America.
Could it be that more than a dozen subsidiaries such as Yunsu Express, Orange Technology, and Deep Blue Technology are only worth 40 billion US dollars?
How is that possible!
Even if you use your toes to think about it, you know it’s impossible!
150 billion US dollars?
Or 200 billion US dollars?
abnormal!
The more Zhang Weili thought about it, the more frightened he became.
He traveled all the way to Xucheng this time mainly to get the supply order for mid-to-high-end chips for Orange Mobile Phones.
Although MediaTek's technical strength in the field of high-end mobile processors is not as good as Qualcomm's, it should not be underestimated.
As the king of the copycat phone era, MediaTek started with low-end processors. In the past three years, with the boom of Chinese smartphones, its market value has soared and has now exceeded US$20 billion.
Orange Technology occupies a pivotal position in China's mobile phone industry. Only by deepening cooperation with the other party can MediaTek increase its market share in the mobile phone chip industry.
As for Qualcomm, who cares!
Next, he truly witnessed the development gap between Chinese cities.
After landing, he first took the high-speed rail and then took a taxi to Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park.
Along the way, apart from the birch trees on both sides of the road, the rest are farmlands and streams, and occasionally you can catch a glimpse of a few small industrial areas.
There are no skyscrapers and no exquisite commercial districts.
Zhang Weili was even more shocked by this. He didn't understand how the world's top instruction set rules, CPU and GPU architecture were born on this land.
As far as he knows, Nvidia's latest Tegra 4H uses Tiangong Technology's Orange Z1 instruction set, Xuanshu GPU architecture and some core patents of baseband modules.
abnormal!
Zhang Weili commented for the second time.
Ten minutes later, a medium-sized software park came into view. Without the driver's introduction, Zhang Weili knew that they had arrived at the headquarters of Senlian Capital.
Because the brand logos of various projects are hung on the exterior walls of more than a dozen office buildings.
"Mr. Zhang, this place is quite unique."
MediaTek's marketing director Huang Xianxiang laughed dryly.
Zhang Weili smiled lightly, opened the car door and walked down, straightened his tie and sleeves, and looked at the cluster of tall buildings in front of him with burning eyes.
"Hey, you haven't paid yet!" The driver saw that Zhang Weili and the other three were busy looking at Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park after getting off the car, but had no intention of paying, so he knocked on the car door to remind them.
"Excuse me, how much is it?" Zhang Weili's assistant turned around and asked.
"Eighty." The driver asked loudly.
There are fewer and fewer fat sheep like Zhang Weili who don’t take online ride-hailing services when they go out. Since he has come across one, of course he has to take advantage of him.
"How much? From the high-speed rail station to the science park, it's less than 10 kilometers in total."
The assistant was stunned for a moment, paused in taking out the money, and asked with a sullen face.
"Look at you guys in suits and ties, but I didn't expect you couldn't even afford an 80 yuan taxi fare."
The driver curled his lips in disdain.
"Forget it, I'll make a complaint first." The assistant was a native of Yanjing, so how could he not see that the driver wanted to overcharge the passengers.
If you take a taxi in Yanjing, the driver wouldn't dare charge 80 yuan for a 10-kilometer journey.
"Hey, brother, just give me fifty." The driver waved his hand and said.
"Thirty." The assistant bargained bluntly.
"Thirty? Do you think I'm doing charity?" The driver was obviously dissatisfied.
"Do you want love?" The assistant took out his cell phone and tapped a few numbers on the screen with his fingertips.
"Thirty is thirty, consider it charity." The driver shrank his neck and cursed his bad luck inwardly.
After receiving a 30 yuan transfer from his assistant, he drove away.
In fact, before leaving, the assistant had contacted the car rental company in Xucheng and rented a Mercedes-Benz S-Class and a BMW.
But the other party changed their mind at the last minute and said that the car could not be delivered until 1 pm, so I had to take a taxi for now.
What the assistant didn't know was that the employee of the rental company drove the car out to earn extra money and took a wedding job.
The schedule was originally set to be seamless, but when the bride got out of the car, she insisted on adding another 50,000 yuan in betrothal gifts and refused to get out without it.
This made the employees of the leasing company so anxious that they wanted to curse!
Zhang Weili took a deep breath and walked towards the science and technology park with big strides.
Standing in front of the French windows on the top floor, Chen Yansen couldn't help but comment, "The president of MediaTek Greater China went on a business trip and didn't even rent a car. These people are really frugal."
Zhou Shouzhi had just returned from North America, so he didn't have to personally take care of the reception.
He then turned around, took out a box of local Wandao tea from the cabinet, and slowly brewed a pot of tea.
When he finished his work, there was a crisp knock on the door.
"Come in." Chen Yansen replied.
Zhou Shouzhi walked in with Zhang Weili and others.
"Mr. Chen, I've long heard of your name! Seeing you in person is worse than hearing about you. You're even more promising and young than I thought."
Before Zhang Weili's butt even touched the sofa, he was already being flattered.
"Mr. Zhang, nice to meet you! Thank you MediaTek for your support of Orange Technology over the years. Please take a seat!"
Chen Yansen shook the other person's right hand, exchanged a few words with a smile, and then led Zhang Weili to sit down on the sofa.
He knew very well why Zhang Weili came.
"Mr. Chen, MediaTek plans to release a 4G chip to rival the Snapdragon 800 at the end of the month. The model is named MT6599, with a Cortex-A7 octa-core architecture, a main frequency of 2.3GHz, support for 1080P display and a 16-megapixel camera, and an AnTuTu score of 31,000 points..."
As soon as Zhang Weili sat down, he got straight to the point.
He came here to sell, so how could he convince Chen Yansen without telling him the selling points?
"What's the price?" Chen Yansen asked casually after he finished speaking.
MediaTek is not his first choice, Nvidia's Tegra 4H is also good.
His selection criteria are simple: he will choose whoever has better product performance and whoever can offer more favorable terms in supply price and settlement period.
"Including the MT6290 baseband, the package price is US$32 per piece."
Zhang Weili replied seriously.
The supply price of Snapdragon 800 ranges from US$35 to US$50, depending on the size of the purchase order.
With Orange Technology's shipment volume, it can naturally get the lowest price.
If MT6599 wants to win, it has to make concessions on price.
"28 US dollars each, I think. If the performance is good, I can buy 2 million."
Chen Yansen lowered the price.
Because Huang Renxun quoted him a price of US$32 for Tegra 4H, while MT6599 was obviously slightly inferior, it would be reasonable to reduce it to US$28.
Zhang Weili frowned slightly when he heard this. Chen Yansen cut the price by 10% with this one move!
