Chapter 534

Huizhong's successive investment and layout in the field of internet entertainment have made many people outside realize Fang Zhe's courage and Huizhong's great efforts.

However, the news of all investments and acquisitions in these fields was not as shocking as the news that Huizhong and Alibaba jointly announced at the end of February that Huizhong had invested US $2.5 billion in tmall, accounting for 10% of the shares.

Since the middle of last year, in order to counterattack the communication, Huizhong has released the news that it wants to open the secondary entrance of wechat to JD. After that, the domestic e-commerce industry began to flow secretly. Later, Ali softened and sent Zhang Yong, the person in charge of tmall, to lead the team to contact Huizhong to discuss tmall's access to the secondary entrance of wechat.

From last September to now, after more than five months of more than ten rounds of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement and are ready to sign a formal cooperation agreement.

At 10 a.m. on February 28, Yanjing Huizhong company headquarters, press conference hall, president Fang Zhe and Ma, several executives of Huizhong and Alibaba, and dozens of well-known media reporters from home and abroad gathered together to witness the historical moment of cooperation between Huizhong and Alibaba.

"First of all, on behalf of Huizhong and Alibaba, I welcome all media friends to attend the cooperation signing ceremony of our two companies. Next, let's invite Mr. Fang of Huizhong and Mr. Ma of Alibaba to speak to you!"

In the warm applause of hundreds of media reporters acting as temporary audience, Fang zhe stepped onto the rostrum with a smile.

"Friends from the media, journalists, partners invited to witness the signing ceremony, as well as Ma and Ali's executives, welcome to Huizhong.

In the past, I often heard that Huizhong was like a new star in the Internet industry. Suddenly, it was attacked by a foreign army. In just a few years, it became a company as famous as Baidu and Alibaba, which have been famous for a long time.

At the same time, it has also rarely broken the curse that it is difficult for domestic Internet companies to go to sea, and made some achievements in the world Internet industry.

Many people in the industry are studying, and many people ask me what is the secret of Huizhong's success. The answers given by experts and myself are consistent, that is, the current situation.

Many people say that Huizhong's success is because it robbed Tencent's social opportunities. I don't deny this statement, but I prefer to say that Huizhong seized the social opportunities on the mobile Internet earlier than Tencent, because the opportunity is there. It doesn't belong to anyone or any company. Whoever gets it first is its owner.

Fortunately, Huizhong seized the opportunity of wechat and held it in the global competition.

Today, Chinese mainland's total number of users is breaking 1 billion, and the total number of users in mainland China is close to 4 hundred million. WeChat has become the world's largest mobile social networking software worthy of the name of WeChat.

Such huge user data is an unimaginable wealth!

My friends and I who are familiar with Huizhong know that Huizhong has never been a company that eats alone, nor a tentacle monster company that has to do everything by itself.

Perhaps many media friends have noticed that recently, Huizhong has made frequent actions in the field of entertainment and made a lot of layout and investment.

But in fact, most of the investments made by Huizhong are to support and cultivate these companies with their own resources and capabilities, and share and mine the huge data and other resources of wechat and Huizhong with our partners.

This time, our cooperation with tmall is no exception.

Alibaba is a leader in the domestic e-commerce industry, and tmall is the core B2C business platform of Alibaba. After the wechat secondary entrance is connected to tmall, our two companies will go hand in hand and explore in many fields such as data traffic and social e-commerce.

I believe the cooperation between our two companies will certainly help the two companies to a higher level and provide better and more convenient e-commerce shopping services for domestic wechat users. "

After Fang Zhe's brief speech, he entered the media question session. A reporter from sina.com was lucky to be asked by Fang zhe:

"Hello, Mr. Fang, I'm a reporter from sina.com. I'd like to ask, when your company invested in Jingdong a few years ago, and now invests in tmall, does this mean that Huizhong will withdraw from Jingdong's investment, or your company will weaken its support for Jingdong?"

The reporter's question is also a question in the hearts of most reporters present. They are very curious. Huizhong has invested in tmall. What should JD do?

Fang zhe smiled and replied easily:

"Hello, I think you may have fallen into a misunderstanding, that is, tmall and JD are two competitors, and wechat can only support one.

But in fact, wechat is more of a user platform, including the opening of the secondary entrance, which is not limited to tmall, including jd.com and other well-known e-commerce platforms. We will announce the specific access methods later. As for the specific competition in the industry, we are inconvenient to interfere too much.

Our support for JD also remains within the obligations of our equity. "

"Well, did Huizhong communicate and negotiate with Jingdong before? What's president Liu's view and attitude towards this?" the Sina reporter asked again.

"Of course, there is communication. We have gradually entered the stage of cooperation signing for all connected e-commerce platforms. This special press conference is held because tmall is the first and most representative one to cooperate with us.

As for the opinion and attitude of Jingdong president Liu, I think you can ask him face to face! Thank you, next! "Fang zhe answered the reporter's question and then ordered a reporter from Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.

The reporter's question is a little provocative, because he didn't ask about the cooperation between wechat and tmall, but asked:

"Hello, Mr. Fang, I'm Chen Wen, a reporter from the South China Morning Post. I'd like to ask. As we all know, Alibaba launched communication and competition with wechat last year, and there was a hot fight between them.

Now Huizhong has taken a stake in tmall. Does this mean that the competition between communication and wechat has completely conceded defeat? Huizhong's taking a stake in tmall is Alibaba's secession for peace! "

Wow, the reporter's question shocked many people. It's really worthy of being a reporter from Hong Kong. I dare to ask anything. Look at the embarrassed faces of Ma Zong and other Ali executives. The media colleagues here feel that the South China Morning Post takes jujube pills!
