Winning the new financial era

Chapter 486

Entering a Chinese-style reception hall, as soon as he entered the door, Li Jie saw Li Wenzheng, the old money king who was nearly ninety years old, sitting in the first seat.

On his left and right sides, sit Zhang Yida and his son-in-law Weng Junmin respectively.

Li Wenzheng is dressed in a Tang suit, which is what he wears whenever Chinese guests visit.

The hale and hearty old man stood up to greet him and said, "Your guest is coming to the door. I am sorry for the inconvenience!"

Naturally, Li Jie never thought of letting this old man come to greet him in person, no matter his wealth or status, he is not qualified enough.

Li Jie and Li Wenzheng shook hands, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you are welcome!"

Then he shook hands with Zhang Yida and Weng Junmin, and exchanged a few pleasantries.

After the four sat down, Li Jie didn't speak, and he couldn't open his mouth until he found out what kind of medicine Zhang Yida was selling in the gourd.

Zhang Yida took the lead and said, "I asked Mr. Li to come over, mainly to talk about the cooperation with J&T express company.

It just so happens that Lippo Group and Guosen Group are also interested in this matter, so I might as well just call for a discussion, and Mr. Li should not be offended. "

How could such a good thing be offended?Li Jie waved his hands again and again, "No wonder, no wonder, I have long wanted to visit Mr. Li and Mr. Weng, but I never had the chance.

Today I have the opportunity to communicate with the two gentlemen, which is something I can only wish for. "

Although Li Jie has been working in Indonesia for several years and has met several Chinese chaebol owners, he has basically never had an in-depth conversation.

Judging from Zhang Yida's tone now, it seems that Lippo Group and Guoxin Group will also cooperate with J&T Express.

With this kind of ground snake covering him, he believed that many troubles would be solved.

Especially Weng Junmin, he knew that this was the popular man next to the Indonesian president.

"I heard that J&T Express entered the Indonesian market in 2015, and spread its outlets all over 17508 islands in Indonesia that year, providing the Indonesian people with an unprecedented 365-day round-the-clock, free door-to-door service?"

Seeing Li Wenzheng asking himself a question, Li Jie replied modestly: "Actually, we still rely on the resources and team support accumulated by OPPO Indonesia in the past."

Li Wenzheng smiled and shook his head, "Humble, Indonesian locals can't do this well. We Chinese are hardworking. In two years, we have achieved the first place in the Indonesian market and the second place in the Southeast Asian market."

Li Jie is the founder of OPPO Indonesia. He naturally knows the habits of the local indigenous people. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are lazy.

But when it came to sensitive topics, he didn't answer rashly, just kept smiling.

Weng Junmin said with a smile: "J&T Express is amazing, it should be the first express company in Indonesia that truly covers the whole country.

If we continue to operate well, we have the opportunity to become the largest express delivery company in Southeast Asia. "

Then, Weng Junmin looked at Zhang Yida again and asked, "Yida, how many express companies in China did you say go public?"

"Four connections and one reach, plus Shunfeng, plus Debon Logistics, which went public a few months ago, there are currently seven companies in total, each with a market value of tens of billions of yuan, and Shunfeng's market value has reached more than 7 billion yuan."

Weng Junmin nodded, "China has a huge market. A single express delivery industry can support seven private express delivery companies with such a high market value."

Li Wenzheng narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Shunfeng was the first to go to sea. It started to go to sea 9 years ago. Last year, it joined hands with UPS, one of the three major logistics giants in the world, and extended its tentacles to 53 countries such as the United States, the European Union, and Japan in one fell swoop;
ZTO Express reached a cooperation with Cambodia Post some time ago; Goudong’s smart logistics center in Thailand has fully landed;
Best Huitong is preparing to start business in Thailand and Vietnam, and YTO is also planning to open a number of international routes and launch the "Global Quick Delivery" service. "

Li Jie was listening to Zhang Yida's speech very carefully, and he was also paying attention to the actions of the domestic express delivery giants, and felt a lot of pressure.

Especially Goudong, this guy goes to sea, unlike Ahri and Penguin who travel lightly, this guy has to move the logistics system here.

Zhang Yida said with a smile: "There are three reasons why domestic express delivery companies gather to go overseas: the increasingly fierce domestic competition, the rapid growth of cross-border e-commerce, and the escort of the "Belt and Road" policy.

Taking cross-border e-commerce as an example, China's estimated total trade volume this year is 9 trillion yuan, with a growth rate of more than 110%.

It's a big market, but it takes a lot of planning to grab a chunk of it.

Supply chain links including China's domestic transportation, customs entry, and international transportation cannot be handed over to a third party. They must be done by themselves, so as to keep costs down and make profits.

Now is the time for Chinese express delivery companies to go international and seize time and seize opportunities.

Who can be China's FedEx or DHL?Perhaps some clues can be seen from the current layout. "

Zhang Yida's words seemed to have a kind of magical power, and Li Jie was absorbed in listening to them.

It took a long time for him to react, and said, "Mr. Zhang, it's not that we don't want to enter the country. I always feel that the current time is not ripe."

Zhang Yida chuckled. He knew that Li Jie had great ambitions. A pioneer who dared to open up the Indonesian market for OPPO, and a founder who pulled out a quasi-unicorn express company in two years, how could he tend to the status quo.

"Then tell me, why is the time not ripe?"

Seeing Zhang Yida's question, Li Jie replied in a [-]: "First of all, the Southeast Asian market is not stable, which is our basic market.

Mr. Zhang, you also mentioned just now that domestic express delivery giants are all staring at overseas markets like wolves.

In addition, J&T Express orders are highly dependent on major e-commerce platforms.

In case someone wants to kick us out, we basically don't have much resistance.

Secondly, all domestic e-commerce platforms have fixed partners, or the market has been divided up by several express delivery giants.

If we want to gain a foothold, we must obtain the support of a mainstream e-commerce platform.

Finally, there is the issue of funds. Last year, we received an investment of US$1 million from Blackshirt Capital, but most of it was used for the construction of logistics systems such as Southeast Asian outlets, fleets, and warehousing.

If you really want to go back to China and fight with those giants, it's not enough to watch! "

Zhang Yida smiled and nodded, "I understand all the problems you mentioned, and they are easy to solve."

Li Wenzheng on the side opened his eyes, knowing that the main show was finally on the stage.

Weng Junmin also cast his eyes on Zhang Yida, wanting to see how he can persuade Li Jie.

Li Jie also seemed to be listening attentively. He also wanted to hear what kind of plan Zhang Yida would come up with.

"As long as you enter the country, Pinduoduo, Xiaohongshu and other e-commerce platforms controlled by me, the order can be tilted towards your J&T Express.

As for the mainland of Southeast Asia, you don't have to worry about it.Several e-commerce websites invested by Ruixiang will be further integrated in the future, and the cooperative relationship with J&T Express will only be deepened, not weakened.

Money, that's not a problem. "

"Funds are not a problem", Li Jie may still have some doubts about putting this sentence in other people's mouths, but it is definitely not an exaggeration for the richest man to say this.

Although Li Jie believes that Zhang Yida's net worth is a little watery because the company has not yet been listed and is not yet fully mature.

However, the two groups of Ruixiang and Zhonghe definitely have hundreds of billions of RMB in their hands.

In terms of wealth, I am afraid that only Penguin and Ari in China can steadily overwhelm one of them.

Li Jie knew that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, Zhang Yida offered so many generous terms, the picture must be very big.

Especially the words about integrating the e-commerce platforms he invested in caused a storm in his heart.

"Mr. Zhang, just tell me, what do you need from me? Or what does J&T Express need to pay?"

Zhang Yida smiled, dealing with smart people is a pleasure, there is no need to go around.
