CHAPTER 1935: CHAPTER 1760: VISION

The more he listened.

The happier Ma Yun became.

Hummingbird Business Storage.

It’s simply a blessing for enterprises like theirs. For e-commerce companies, logistics quality is very important. Nowadays, people can endure a week’s logistics speed, but in the future? Even two days might seem long.

Therefore.

This provides an excellent solution.

Rent a warehouse.

The price is not expensive.

Especially for high value-added products, this cost is negligible, but customer experience is highly valued. Same-day delivery or next-day delivery is becoming a widespread demand, and the advantages are increasing.

Hummingbird.

As the name suggests.

"It’s going to fly."

Ma Yun looked at Tang Qing.

Young.

Energetic, enviable.

Wealth.

Rich enough to rival a nation, admirable.

Vision?

One can only say that being his opponent is an unfortunate thing because you never know what astonishing move he will make next. His presence alone has caused many to sigh deeply.

Why must Liang be born when Yu is here?

Born at the wrong time.

Alas!

Before long.

The meeting ended.

It was mainly a report, there were no other matters requiring a vote. Meetings are merely the Board of Directors exercising their right to be informed, otherwise Tang Qing wouldn’t bother to hold one. After the end, Tang Qing connected privately with Ma Yun.

"Mr. Ma, how’s the progress?" Tang Qing asked.

What progress?

Of course, it’s about Ali going global.

"Currently, we have obtained Ali E-commerce’s business qualifications in twelve countries, twenty-three countries are processing, thirty-one countries have restrictive policies, which we plan to bypass."

"Invest in local e-commerce."

Ma Yun said.

At the beginning.

After returning from Davos, Tang Qing had already mentioned that in the future, Hummingbird should be opened all over the world. It’s just that no one expected the future to come so quickly, just one year after Tang Qing decided to act.

If Hummingbird goes overseas.

Then.

Ali wanting to expand into foreign markets would be a great opportunity, otherwise, wouldn’t building business storage in other countries be serving the local e-commerce? Ali must follow.

New constructions primarily.

Acquisitions as a supplement.

Follow Hummingbird to the world, but the road is not smooth. In other countries, doing e-commerce involves identity, address, bank card, and other citizen information, requiring many departmental procedures.

Very troublesome.

Even with permission granted.

When operating.

There is stricter regulation than domestic e-commerce. However, difficulty shouldn’t deter action, Ma Yun really admires Tang Qing’s ambitious way of doing things.

If you’re going to do it.

Do global business.

Time.

Epoch.

Civilization.

Always looks to the distant horizon.

Sky Eye.

A company providing enterprise services, operating boldly in over a hundred countries. Zhongyu Special Guard, a security company, has also deployed in dozens of countries. The next is Hummingbird.

Such actions.

Command respect.

What is stature?

This is it: go wild and make the world dance to your tune.

"Do your best on this matter and prepare well. In international e-commerce competition, there will be a lot of trouble, especially attacks from other e-commerce competitors."

"Privacy, patriotism."

"These are the two shields of local e-commerce in any country."

Tang Qing admitted.

Firstly.

If he were a local competitor, the first method would be to sensationalize through media, invoking fear of personal information control by foreign companies—a method effective and low-cost.

Secondly.

Of course, supporting domestic brands is righteous. Theoretically, both are tough knots to untie, irrespective of how well public relations are done, there will always be a gap in perception toward foreigners from locals.

"I understand."

"Alright, see you in a few days."

"Okay."

In a few days.

As in previous years, Tang Qing was invited to participate in the Huaxia Enterprise Leader Annual Meeting, the only domestic business gathering Tang Qing attends every year. All other invitations are politely declined by him.

Too much hassle.

A gathering.

Once a year is enough.

More is trouble.

One gathering for the domestic business sector, the Annual Meeting. One for the international business community, Davos, two gatherings a year totaling a week, comprising one-fiftieth of the year. Tang Qing thinks it’s more than enough.

The Davos Forum is also invited this year, with a high level and being named by big shots, it’s a must-go!

Now.

He resembles a mascot.

When showcased.

He can well exhibit the economic achievements of Huaxia. The more famous you become, the more troublesome it gets. After enjoying the spotlight, Tang Qing suddenly wants to retire to the countryside.

Uh!

Isn’t this being pretentious?

Hmm.

It should be showing off!

...

Three days later.

"Today’s Hummingbird Business Storage officially starts receiving shipments!"

"Can Hummingbird build a glorious future, fly to the sky and turn into a phoenix? Let’s wait and see."

"New logistics speed!"

"One-day delivery will cover more areas!"

"..."

For Hummingbird Business Storage starting operation, the media gave it headline treatment. Tang Qing has been planning for a year, investing hundreds of billions, a unique project among Huaxia private enterprises.

For this.

Journalists from various provinces and cities paid a visit to the business storage warehouses.

"Really big."

"So long."

Large area, long convoy. Today marks the start of receiving shipments, but logistics had commenced a few days ago. From today, they will continue to arrive, especially at the six major core warehouses, where roads have nearly been blocked.

However.

The blocked roads are inside.

Today.

The warehouse staff were extremely busy, unloading, unloading, and more unloading. Trucks seemed endless, as one left, another came, never stopping. As their supervisor mentioned, it will continue for a week.

Fortunately.

Once this period passes, it’ll be smoother, and the overtime pay is high. Tang Qing’s companies offer excellent treatment, good accommodation, good food, high wages. It’s lucky that nothing is being shipped out these days, otherwise the workload would be overwhelming.

Seeing the news.

More and more enterprises are tempted.

Logistics speed.

If it becomes an advantage, it will surely greatly influence consumer choices. One takes a day, the other takes three to five days, and with similar pricing, consumers know which to choose.

Naturally.

There’s still hesitation.

Business storage.

Charges a fee.

For each day stored, there’s a charge. If stored for a long time, storage fees could exceed profits, especially for low-margin goods with poor sales, easily leading to losses, there’s indeed some risk.

...

Beijing.

Jingdong Headquarters.

"Is it operational?" Seeing the news, Liu Dong murmured. This is a big blow for Jingdong as its advantage will significantly diminish at this moment.

However.

It’s not despair.

Different model.

One is business storage.

The other is self-operated.

One focuses on logistics, the other on brand, their paths are different. His real concern is the other e-commerce companies that could rise from this. Hummingbird’s take-off is an inevitable trend.

Unchangeable, and impossible to compete with.

Luckily.

He’s not alone.

ERV.

This Jumbo’s immense capital entering, at least in the realm of self-operated e-commerce, no capital can rival it. All he needs to do is run Jingdong well and execute the predetermined strategy.

---Winning with services.

After all.

Hummingbird does not offer doorstep delivery, Jingdong still has the advantage. They serve enterprises and merchants, not directly providing services to consumers, which gives Jingdong a chance to breathe.
