"Mr. Duan, how have you been recently?" Ye Chen asked with a leisurely smile after answering the call.
There didn't seem to be any surprise in his words that Duan Haobo, one of the four heroes of Yuan Jiying, called him.
"Haha, thanks to Mr. Ye, everything is fine!"
Although Duan Haobo on the other end of the line was cheerful, Ye Chen could still detect some fatigue and bitterness in his voice.
"That's fine, Mr. Duan, let's stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point. Why are you calling me this time? Do you want to...?" Ye Chen got straight to the point.
"Mr. Ye, can you spare some time? How about we meet and talk?" Duan Haobo on the other end of the phone thought for a while and said.
"Since Mr. Duan has invited me, I can make time for it anytime!" Ye Chen said with a smile without much hesitation.
"Tianhong Building, I'll go downstairs to meet Mr. Ye, okay?" Duan Haobo said.
"I'll be there in half an hour!"
Ye Chen, who was no stranger to Tianhong Building, thought for a moment.
Then he hung up the call after Duan Haobo responded.
At the crossroads.
The Mercedes-Benz G deviated from its original route plan and turned towards the Tianhong Building.
Half an hour later.
At the entrance of Tianhong Building.
Duan Haobo, who looked much more haggard than the last time they met, immediately humbled himself and went over to greet the Mercedes-Benz G when it appeared.
"Boss Ye, long time no see!"
Ye Chen got out of the car.
This legend in the express delivery industry who once shook up Southeast Asia seemed to have been cleansed of all his former sharpness and he took the initiative to smile and extend his hand to greet him.
"Mr. Duan, you're welcome!"
With his hands clenched, Ye Chen nodded and smiled.
"Mr. Ye, please come this way. Let's go upstairs and talk!" Ye Chen nodded in response.
Duan Haobo took the lead.
Taking Ye Chen directly to the 33rd floor of Tianhong Building.
As soon as you step into the thirty-third floor.
The eye-catching four words [Thunder Express] immediately caught my eye.
Further in, there are many busy staff members.
Ye Chen, who had known about the quiet establishment of Thunder Express for a long time, was not surprised by this.
No words, just a smile.
Under the incredible surprise and shock of many staff members, Ye Chen followed Duan Haobo into his office. "Boss Duan, it seems that your Thunder Express is on the right track!" As soon as he entered the office, Ye Chen said with a smile.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Boss Ye. If things had been put on the right track, I'm afraid you wouldn't be seeing such a shabby and crowded scene!"
After leading Ye Chen to the reception area and sitting him down, Duan Haobo smiled bitterly and helplessly.
"What do you mean? Mr. Duan's financing plan has been blocked?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I overestimated the importance of the three words 'Duan Haobo' in the eyes of domestic investors, or underestimated the importance of SF Express, YTO Express, SF Express and JD.com.
The monopoly of the market by these giants has brought a suffocating feeling to the capital world!" Duan Haobo spoke frankly without hiding anything.
"So Mr. Duan's financing plan failed?" Ye Chen asked. "I guess so!" Duan Haobo nodded bitterly. "From my entry into the domestic express delivery industry to the establishment of Thunder Express, the entire process was not favored by the capital market. Even though I had already made some arrangements in the past, and many small express delivery companies could be integrated at any time, and then many outlets could be built quickly, and many cities and counties could be covered quickly, my financing plan still did not fail, but it can be said that it was blocked everywhere. This point was really predicted by Mr. Ye!
"So Mr. Duan asked me to come here just to discuss the financing plan?" Ye Chenlin became fascinated.
"Yes, although I exchanged the equity of Southeast Asia Jiying Express for Jiying's layout in the domestic market in the past few years, and the strategic cooperation with Pinxixi is about to come to fruition, but if I want to fight a bloody road under the monopoly of SF Express, YTO Express, Shunfeng Express and JD.com, it is obviously not enough to rely on the strategic cooperation of Pinxixi. If I want to expand rapidly and eat up the market share, burning money is the only way. In addition to the price war, the construction and coverage of outlets, the purchase of land and warehouses, etc., plus the need to fire the first shot of entering the express delivery industry in a heavy way, all these require a lot of money. And the current situation is that I overestimated my
The weight of these three words "Duan Haobo" in the eyes of capital!
Although Duan Haobo shouldn't have confessed these words to Ye Chen, Xu Jia, chairman of Hengda, reminded him repeatedly: Remember not to play tricks in front of Ye Chen.
Based on this, he chose to be honest enough.
"Firing the first shot into the express delivery industry in a big way? What does Mr. Duan mean by big?
Due to his memories of his previous life, Ye Chen was almost certain what the heavy-weight method Duan Haobo was talking about, but he still asked.
"I believe Mr. Ye is familiar with Best Express, which survives in the gap between the market monopoly of SF Express and JD. My plan is to acquire Best. Let's not talk about the blockbuster effect brought by the acquisition of Best. The results of Best's years of hard work in the gap between SF Express, YTO Express, SF Express and JD. With Best's mature system and the outlets and coverage areas built by Best over the years, once Best is acquired, it will greatly shorten the infrastructure construction of Thunder Express and directly obtain the ticket to enter the express delivery market! Similarly, this is also the basic condition for establishing a strategic partnership with Pinxixi!" Duan Haobo
"Best? Are you sure you can acquire Best?
Although Duan Haobo's acquisition of Best was one of the trajectories of his previous life, Ye Chen still pretended to be shocked and pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.
"A director shareholder of Best and I are from the same school, and we have a pretty good relationship, so I can still get first-hand information about Best. Currently, the board of directors of Best has almost reached a consensus on the decision to package and sell the domestic express delivery business. I have also contacted the board of directors of Best, and when it comes to looking for an acquirer, they prefer to look for a troublemaker rather than a former rival!" Duan Haobo said.
Ye Chen nodded in response.
Then he fell into deep thought.
After a short moment.
Ye Chen just said, "Tell me how you plan to disrupt the situation and what your goal is!"
"Same-city parcels cost 6 yuan, and out-of-province parcels cost 8 yuan. In three months, we achieved a daily order volume of over 5 million, in half a year, we achieved a daily order volume of over 10 million, and in one year, we achieved a daily order volume of over 20 million!"
Duan Haobo did not complicate the issue, but stated his ambitions concisely.
However, when I stated these goals, I felt somewhat nervous.
Because the figure of daily orders exceeding 20 million was an achievement that took 3Tong, 18, 19 and 25 years respectively for SF Express to achieve.
Duan Haobo's ambition was so big that he needed a year to realize it.
This shows how crazy this is!
Similarly, this is why his financing plan hit a wall in front of those capitalists.
Because let alone whether such ambition and goal are realistic or not, the money burned in the process alone and the losses incurred would be astronomical figures!
How can those investors dare to invest in this? Especially behind this madness, the opponents are the three major express delivery companies and Shunfeng Express of the Ali system.
Once you lose, everything is lost!
