At three pm.
The living room.
In front of Tang Qing sat an African, Alan Zuma. Last year, I met the Zuma family in Davos, and the incoming president of South Africa also had Zuma in his name.
No accident.
In the next ten years, it will always be in that position.
After that.
Tang Qing doesn''t care whether the successor will support hummingbird as always. Ten years later, no one will be able to take over his industry, especially in Africa. He will be the president of another country.
Let''s talk about it.
Zuma family is not made of clay.
Right now.
Alan Zuma is looking through a document. Tang Qing is drinking tea leisurely. What he can explain with the document is that he doesn''t like to use his mouth. This time, he has too many partners. He talks about one thing a hundred times.
Silly!
"Hummingbird South Africa."
"The parent company controls."
"The Zuma family invested US $200 million, accounting for 45% of the shares of the branch. In addition, they undertook the legal issues of local compliance and helped the branch obtain loans."
"Land."
"Policy."
"Most favoured treatment."
"Cooperate to develop large-scale e-commerce."
“。。。”
Not much.
It''s just two pages. It''s key information.
That''s it.
Alan Zuma looked again,
to hummingbirds.
He was very interested. It''s almost impossible to do that in South Africa. Therefore, it must have a bright future. Besides, it''s still to cooperate with people like Tang Qing.
Money.
Talented.
There is also Huaxia behind it, and there is no personal stain.
"How many countries are you going to build hummingbirds in?" Put down the document, Alan Zuma asked curiously, you know, hummingbirds only exist in one country in China.
All of a sudden.
It''s going to Africa. It''s a bit of a jump.
"I hope that hummingbirds can serve the majority of the world''s population. As long as we welcome hummingbirds, we are willing to enter South Africa. As Africa''s first power, I am optimistic about its future."
That''s not true.
It''s good for Alan Zuma.
In Africa.
In terms of comprehensive strength, the first is South Africa, which has always played the role of Africa''s first brother. As for Egypt and Algeria in the north, sorry, they are Arab countries.
"Thank you."
"I''ll report to the family as soon as possible, and I''ll let you know as soon as I have any news."
"Good."
I sat down for a while.
Alan Zuma left the villa. Today, Tang Qing''s guests will not be the only one. There is no need to waste other people''s time. He also has other things. Many friends invite him to get together.
The truth.
He really wants to sit a little longer.
Even he can''t get the single family villas here. During the forum, cafes, restaurants and other places where people can get together are almost full. There is no lake villa.
Don''t talk about dinner.
Any party will do.
。。。
After Alan Zuma left.
The living room.
"What''s the probability?" Ma Yun asked, he did not know Alan Zuma before, after all, the other side is mining, and he does the Internet, the two almost do not have any intersection.
I don''t think so.
Tang Qing looks very familiar.
"Fifty percent."
"Why Ali?" Ma Yun asked again.
Just now.
Before he left, Alan Zuma talked about Ali and revealed that he personally preferred Amazon''s model to Ali''s pure platform. The reason is very clear.
---Profit.
The profit of platform is too low.
That''s the point.
Ma Yun admits.
Compared with Amazon''s model, Ali''s profit is really not high. If Amazon''s model, the same platform sales revenue can be more than several times, not a little bit.
"No
Tang Qing shook her head.
"Just leave some room."
Alibaba and Amazon compete for profits.
A complete defeat.
But.
In the end, Zuma will definitely agree with the Ali model, because that person is about to take office. After he takes office, he must consider the scope of South Africa and make more people rich. Therefore, the result has long been doomed.
Ali mode, they are willing to cooperate.
Amazon model, they may do it themselves.
“。。。”
All right.
Ma Yun doesn''t know whether to praise this cautious attitude. If the other party really insists on the self support + platform mode, will Ali also make a change? At this moment, he was a little confused.Do it.
It''s against the original intention.
No.
Can''t people do it by themselves?
This time, Tang Qing made such a great effort to pull Ali, but because Ali insisted on being a platform, he gave up the opportunity to enter South Africa, missed it, and probably had no chance.
Tangled.
At this time.
"What do you think?" Tang Qing asked,
immediately.
Ma Yun says what she thinks.
Listen up.
Tang Qing laughs.
"Mr. Ma, don''t worry. These two models are not in conflict. One is widely used for small and medium-sized sellers, and the other is self-employed. In business, the latter is obviously more profitable."
"But."
"Our partners are not all profit seeking businessmen, families and countries. When their interests are the same, they choose different paths and platforms and will not be abandoned."
Next.
Let''s analyze the Zuma family.
Instant.
Ma Yun is suddenly enlightened. Yes, many of these families have the power to influence the political situation of the country. They care about money, but they don''t care about money. At least most of them have the need to do practical things.
Otherwise.
Light sucks blood.
No feedback.
People''s voices have been stinking for a long time, and they won''t be on that list.
"High."
Ma Yun gives a thumbs up.
"It''s a fact that the profit of the platform can''t match that of the self operated e-commerce. In the past, the logistics can''t keep up with it, but once it is made up, the self operated e-commerce will certainly develop rapidly, and they won''t miss the opportunity."
"So."
"More than 70% of our partners may have the impulse to build self-supporting e-commerce. I can''t get rid of their idea. So, you have a new problem. Do you want to expand your business?"
Listen up.
Ma Yun is silent.
Join.
Avoid.
It''s a real problem.
For a moment.
He took a look at Tang Qing''s young face. Suddenly, he grinned, "Mr. Tang, you are the biggest shareholder of Ali. I will listen to you and support your decision this time."
At that moment, he found that he was really stupid.
On vision.
On financial resources.
There is a great God in front of us. With Tang Qing''s shares in Ali, it will certainly not harm Ali. If we have time to worry, why don''t we listen to Tang Qing. Opposite, hearing this, Tang Qing laughed.
"Ha ha."
"Mr. Ma, it''s yours."
"All right."
"I''ll go beyond my authority once."
"Ali is a good platform, but it does not hinder the investment of self operated e-commerce. If it really cooperates, Ali may not be the largest shareholder. Therefore, it is not called changing business, it is called investment."
"Since it''s an investment, it doesn''t matter."
"After all."
"The money you earn is real, but in the domestic e-commerce field, you can only focus on the platform." Tang Qing said that ten years later, Ma Yun will find out how wise this decision is.
Now.
Many plans have not been fully promoted and the road ahead is at a loss.
But.
However, Tang Qing knows how big a cake it is. As a person who divides the cake, he doesn''t care how much money he divides. What he wants is the ability to control the world''s commodity circulation.
