Chapter 714 Group Buying Is the Biggest Threat to Alibaba

"My boyfriend died? When?"

"Just a few days ago."

"You came to the conference just after he died?!"

"What's the big deal? Pintuan employees always focus 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 was vaguely higher than that of Alibaba and Tencent.

So much attention was not because of anything else, but because 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. It was strange that Pintuan had the most complete ecological chain, from supply to group buying, to takeaway, 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 subsidiary of Pintuan. It was labeled as a Pintuan-affiliated company as early as the group buying era.

So before Pintuan came, 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 became the pride of our two companies that 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, while Baidu seemed a little scattered.

However, although Jiang Qin was like a flood monster in the eyes of others, he was still quite kind, without that kind of arrogant attitude. As long as someone came to say hello, he would respond politely.

"Mr. Jiang, I've heard of your name for a long time."

"How did you know my daughter is about to be born? Do you want to come and have 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, and were a little embarrassed to get too close.

Seeing that all the guests in the room had finished talking, Jiang Qin walked up to Travis and shook hands with him.

"Old Travis, when are you going back to the United States? I'll take you there."

Jiang Qin's English was terrible, so he spoke in Chinese. Travis only understood a little and couldn't help looking 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 group fight even more noticeable, because both delegations had been fought by the group, and they happened to be shareholders of each other before.

"Mr. Zhang, please come this way."

"Okay."

Under the bright sunlight and bright red carpet, Zhang Xuhao from the Ele.bu delegation and Zhang Tao from Dianping were invited by CCTV reporters to the camera.

In the 2013 payment war, Ele.bu connected to Alipay to encircle and suppress group buying, but was suppressed by group buying. Now its market share is only 31%.

Of this 31%, 13% were left by group buying to feed its own supply chain.

It was that time that Ele.bu seemed to have its foundation broken, and it failed to make any splashes after several attempts.

But nominally, Ele.bu 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 ended, 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 greet them.

Kang Jingtao was a tough guy at Lashou.com, while Chen Jiaxin was the iron lady at Volkswagen. They were competitors, but seeing each other again after so many years was like the joy of meeting old friends again.

To be honest, when Pintuan rose to prominence as a group-buying company, 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 operations officer of Uber now."

Chen Jiaxin and Yang Xueyu were stunned for a moment, holding their breath, revealing a slightly distressed expression.

They didn't expect that there were old friends who were so stubborn and followed the footsteps of Pintuan. 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 but feel a little heavy.

They knew that these three people were the legacy of the group-buying war, and that Ele.com was not in harmony with Dianping, and was also the last loser who was let off by Pintuan because of the Anti-Monopoly Law.

The two looked at their expressions of reunion after a long separation, and suddenly felt a subtle sense of substitution.

"If group buying starts to sink into the market, 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: "Uber can't hold on, Didi will catch up soon."

Chen Chuanxing pinched his fingers: "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, and you have one first-tier city and three second-tier cities. Do you think if our two companies merge, do we have a chance to compete?"

"?"

Hearing Cheng Wei's words, Chen Chuanxing couldn't help but have an idea, but soon gave up.

Ali 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 3 pm.

The invited guests arrived one after another. Jiang Qin walked to the front, 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 took the stage to speak on the payment industry, and the second was Sunai.

New media industry, Dong Wenhao took the stage...

Group purchase industry, Wei Lanlan took the stage...

Takeaway industry, Wei Lanlan took the stage...

Logistics and supply chain industry, Dong Wenhao took the stage...

Big data industry, Sunai took the stage...

In the afternoon, except for Jiang Qin, three people under 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 representative speeches 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 key development industries recognized by the country.

Uncle Ma sat on the right side of Jiang Qin, and communicated with Jiang Qin from time to time, but he was actually very heavy in his heart.

Pintuan has developed too fast, 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 feels 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 it been idle in these years?

No.

The 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 lie on his side 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 that of Tencent.

If Alibaba fights with Tencent again and ignores group buying, it may suffer a heavy blow in the future.

At this moment, Cheng Wei turned around the wine table for a while, looking east and west, as if wandering aimlessly, but after a while he suddenly turned around 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, worthy of being an excellent talent that Alibaba has sent to society."

Ma Yun patted his shoulder and pretended to be familiar with him.

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 what Bibi needs to learn from, but unfortunately, we are still not as good as Didi."

Mr. Ma's smile gradually disappeared: "The current achievements of Pintuan 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 will merge at this time. Maybe there will be some opportunities."

After listening, Ma Yun laughed, picked up the water cup and took a sip, but 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 to make up for their past grievances.

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 jump, 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 WeChat Pay is currently chasing Alipay. It seems that there is no such possibility in this world.
