Chapter 918 Helping Small and Medium Enterprises
He picked up Yang Mi, Jiang Bingjie, and Li Xinwan. This was not the end. He picked up Jiang Xing, a man and four women, and went to a cocktail party together. He couldn't even keep a low profile.
It soon attracted everyone's attention.
Those who are qualified to get close to greet are all well-known figures, such as the Wang brothers, Master Li of Capital Station, and Boss Han of Zhongying... and many familiar female stars, Xu Qing, Deng Jiajia, Xu Wenxuan, Che Xiao, Li Xiaolu, Li Erbing and others.
When Director Feng came to say hello, Zhou Buqi called Jiang Xing over and said casually: "I heard that she had a misunderstanding on your crew a few days ago?"
Director Feng understood at a glance, and smiled and said, "It's okay, a small matter."
Zhou Buqi nodded, "She is a straightforward person and can easily offend people, but she has no bad intentions. You should take more responsibility."
"Of course! Sure, certain!"
Director Feng nodded and bowed, his posture was a bit humble.
"Director Feng, I'm sorry, I've let you down and caused you trouble. I won't be able to control my emotions in the future." Jiang Xing bit his lips tightly, bowed and apologized, and his heart became more and more shocked.
She knew that she had done something wrong this time. Once it was spread, she might be suspected of being a big shot and her reputation would be bad. She thought Director Feng would definitely be very angry, but unexpectedly, Mr. Zhou would settle it in two or three words.
Director Feng even looked in a low voice.
Both sides are not on the same level at all.
Mr. Zhou is so awesome.
The matter was settled soon. Jiang Xing was very happy and couldn't help but whispered: "Brother Zhou, when the cocktail party is over, you go to my place."
Zhou Buqi asked: "Is there anything wrong?"
"Ah?" Jiang Xing's face turned slightly red and he looked at him, "Brother Zhou, don't tease me, will you go?"
Zhou Buqi shook his head, "Are we the only one?"
"Um?"
Jiang Xing didn't react.
Zhou Buqi said: "There are fewer people, it's boring."
Jiang Xing understood and said ashamed: "Brother Zhou, you are too bad. Do you want to bring all the three little sisters you came together? There is no such thing. I don't know how others are, but I can't accept it."
"Let's talk about it later."
Zhou Buqi waved his hand and saw an acquaintance - Lao Ma.
He actually ran over from Hangzhou.
It seems that this guy is more interested in the entertainment industry than Lao Zhang.
As for Jiang Xing…
To be honest, it is not too stunning. The main thing to play is the freshness. If the freshness is gone, the attractiveness will not be strong. At least twenty or thirty female celebrities present should be, all of whom are very young and beautiful.
"Old Ma? Why did you run over?"
Zhou Buqi walked over with a smile and shook hands with him.
Boss Ma's eyes lit up, and he said sorry to the people around him, and then smiled at Zhou Buqi, "I'm here to find you. I heard that there is an activity here, so I came here first. I thought I'd go find you tomorrow."
Zhou Buqi said: "Look for me? What's the matter?"
Boss Ma glanced at him, "Don't forget, I am also a director of SoftBank. Such a large investment was also approved by the board of directors. I am interested in your overseas strategy."
Zhou Buqi is not surprised. During Ziweixing's B round financing process, he asked Lao Ma for help and asked: "Overseas strategy? What do you want to do?"
Boss Ma snorted: "Ali has built a scale in overseas markets three or four years ago, much earlier than you!"
Zhou Buqi curled his lips and said, "Selling small and medium-sized enterprises' gadgets to Southeast Asia. With sales of tens of millions, I am not interested in that kind of small market. Our first step is to break through Japan."
Boss Ma felt despised and said angrily: "That's what he said, Alibaba also wants to do the Japanese market."
This topic is about Alibaba's b2b business. Domestic small and medium-sized enterprises put their own products on Alibaba's platform. Foreign companies choose to import goods from China through Alibaba's platform.
Most of them are small and medium-sized goods.
This type of commodity price is low, and it all comes from small and medium-sized enterprises. It doesn’t matter if the channels of small and medium-sized enterprises are weak, and it is difficult to do export business. This problem can be solved with Alibaba’s platform.
Boss Ma continued: "Actually, our business has already gone to Japan, but the number of customers is too small. Japan is the second largest foreign trade country in my country, and theoretically, it is very high in consumption capacity."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "That's because the local local forces are too strong, and you may not be able to sell good products even if you have good products."
Boss Ma coughed lightly, "Our Japanese site is in the English version. Next year, we plan to develop a Japanese site and set up a customer service center and platform in Japan."
Zhou Buqi almost fainted, with a little sarcastic look, "What's your level!"
Boss Ma said: "What about you? Are you interested in cooperating?"
Zhou Buqi frowned, "How to cooperate? You are b2b's business, what I want to do is a personal business. If you ask me to provide you with technical support, it will be fine. Next year, I will set up a R&D center in Japan to do some software services. Otherwise, don't cooperate with Microsoft, I can do it for you!"
In April this year, Alibaba and Microsoft signed a cooperation agreement.
In fact, it is to use Microsoft's technical strength to help them work together to develop and deploy online services such as e-commerce, enterprise management, office automation and enterprise communications. Last month, a series of agreements were signed with Cisco to cooperate on the software service platform, and Cisco provides Alibaba customers with webex video services based on the software online service platform.
Boss Ma smiled angrily and said, "Okay, when Ziweixing has Microsoft and Cisco's technical level, Alibaba will come to you! I haven't told you this now. I think since we all want to do Japanese business, we might as well cooperate in this regard."
Zhou Buqi thought for a while.
I have never thought of an e-commerce platform that can contribute to the development of Ziweixing's Japanese business. E-commerce is a platform that relies on traffic, not a platform that creates traffic.
Depend on!
Lao Ma is fooling people here again!
I heard Boss Ma continue: "The market environment in Japan is relatively complex, which is different from some Southeast Asian countries. If you build Alibaba's e-commerce platform alone, the locals may not buy it and promote it. I have agreed with Masayoshi Son that next year, Alibaba and SoftBank will set up a Japanese joint venture to jointly expand the Japanese market. Do you want to come and participate in the shares together?"
Zhou Buqi shook his head, "I'm not interested, have I told you? I don't do e-commerce."
Boss Ma disagreed, "If you don't do it in China, you won't do it anymore. With Alibaba, it's enough. But going abroad... is still very necessary. Especially the business of b2b. No matter the nature of this platform, the purpose is to export domestic products to foreign countries and give a channel for receiving excess domestic production capacity. This can help countless small and medium-sized enterprises survive."
Zhou Buqi said in a deep voice: "This is indeed very meaningful, but just building a platform may not solve the problem. It is better to be Amazon model, and you may not be able to do this."
Boss Ma: “…”
Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's discuss it back and see what form of cooperation can be carried out. This matter is indeed very meaningful."
Next year, there will be a subprime mortgage crisis, and the world's economy will be hit. The country has also suffered serious interference. In just a few years, hundreds of thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises have closed down due to this, and a wave of unemployment has erupted.
If we can help open up overseas channels, we might be able to save a group of people.
However, this time is a bit rushed.
The economic crisis is coming soon.
