"We can't build Jingdong Smart Home by ourselves, so I'm afraid we can only cooperate with BAT or even Xingyi Technology!"

"No, this is not a good way. We at JD.com need to be independent and build our own smart home ecosystem. It is impossible to use BAT's smart home ecosystem."

"To open up the situation, we can, like iFlytek, introduce BAT's strategic investment and form strategic allies, so that we can advance and retreat together."

"Hey, this is a way. But BAT is too ambitious and can easily swallow us up."

"Besides, both BAT and BAT are engaged in e-commerce and are competitors of JD.com. They are not suitable for alliance!"

"iFlytek has no chance, and BAT is not good, so what do you think we should do? Find an alliance with Xingyi Technology?"

"Xingyi Technology forms an alliance? This idea is feasible."

"Yes, Xingyi Technology's appetite is smaller than that of BAT, and it currently has no plans to become a comprehensive e-commerce company. It is not impossible to introduce their investment."

"When the time comes, JD Smart Home will become Xingyi Smart Home? You really think about it!"

"What's the point? As long as Xingyi Technology does not engage in comprehensive e-commerce, it will not be a rival to JD.com. JD.com can introduce Xingyi Technology's strategic investment."

"Xingyi Technology is so powerful and has endless potential. Are you willing to make it a rival of JD.com or an ally of JD.com?"

"Join if you can't beat me? You guys really know how to think!"

…

Everyone spoke freely, and said whatever they wanted.

After hearing this, Da Qiangzi not only did not get angry, but began to carefully analyze the possibilities behind it.

After all, although some of what these people said were unreasonable, some were so sharp that even the Great Hadron had to pay great attention to them and make careful calculations:

First of all, JD Logistics is very cash-intensive and suffers losses every year, which makes JD extremely poor and facing financial pressure.

Secondly, JD.com has not yet gone public, but its development has encountered bottlenecks.

Not only are the old rivals Taobao, but also Tencent-based e-commerce companies, Baidu-based e-commerce companies, Amazon, Suning, Gome...

All in all, the future is not optimistic.

If JD.com wants to develop, it needs more traffic, so that JD.com can go one step further, show remarkable performance, and hit the market!

Regardless of whether it is financial pressure or traffic pressure, JD.com needs to introduce a strong investor and a strong strategic ally, so that JD.com can break out of the siege and hit the market!

However, there are not many powerful allies. Looking across the country, there are only BAT and the rising star Xingyi Technology.

As those people said, BAT is a comprehensive e-commerce company, and they are all enemies of JD. They want to swallow JD. There is no possibility of cooperation.

Even the cooperation between JD.com and Penguin in the previous life was a failure of Penguin's self-operated e-commerce. It completely changed its strategy, completely abandoned self-operated e-commerce, merged Tencent's Paipai e-commerce business into JD.com, invested in JD.com, and jointly dealt with Alibaba.

Based on this premise, the two parties reached a strategic cooperation.

And now Goose Factory, before facing the failure of e-commerce, is preparing to increase investment and launch self-operated e-commerce on Taobao. It is impossible to merge into JD.com!

On the contrary, Xingyi Technology does not currently engage in comprehensive e-commerce, but it happens to have a basis for cooperation.

Moreover, Xingyi Technology also wants to do Xingyi Logistics, and has also established some warehouses and logistics distribution systems across the country, as well as Ele.me riders to provide hourly delivery.

If Xingyi Technology becomes a shareholder in JD.com, the two parties cooperate strategically, and JD Logistics and Xingyi Logistics are connected, the pressure on JD Logistics will suddenly be relieved.

The simplest thing is that Xingyi Logistics does not need to waste time and effort to re-build so many warehouses and logistics systems. It can directly pay this part of the expenses to JD.com and use JD.com's logistics and warehousing system. In this way, Xingyi Logistics saves trouble and JD Logistics also saves money.

Everyone is happy.

Moreover, Xingyi Technology has almost 150 million Changchao users. It has a bright future and is exactly the traffic that JD.com lacks!

If the two parties cooperate, JD Logistics will provide convenience to Xingyi Technology, and Xingyi Technology will provide traffic support and capital investment to JD. It is a complete win-win situation.

As for JD smart home?

As long as Xingyi Technology does not engage in comprehensive e-commerce, JD.com will lose a powerful enemy. It will not be a problem for JD.com to give up on smart homes and even use its own platform influence to help Xingyi Technology develop Xingyi Smart Home.

For the watermelon, I lost the sesame seeds and it was totally cost-effective.

The more Da Qiangzi thought about it, the more he thought it was okay.

As long as Xingyi Technology does not engage in comprehensive e-commerce, everything will be fine!

With the traffic and strength of Xingyi Technology, coupled with Meiyou Mall, if it is a comprehensive e-commerce, JD.com will definitely have a strong enemy!

If you can't beat it, then join. Sometimes it may not be a great wisdom!

More importantly, seeking the skin of a tiger will bring more disaster than good.

Compared with the three BAT giants, Daqiangzi feels that Xingyi Technology is more friendly and will not annex JD.com.

He immediately said: "Okay, let's put the JD smart home issue on hold for now. The next focus is to contact Xingyi Technology to see if they have any plans to develop a comprehensive e-commerce business."

"If not, we can introduce Xingyi Technology and become the major shareholder of JD.com."

"But if there is, then forget it, sooner or later they will be our enemies!"

Everyone nodded: "Chairman is wise, this is the best."

"Now that BAT is engaged in e-commerce, they are all competitors of our JD.com. There is no need for another Xingyi Technology."

"Xingyi Technology is too powerful, and Wang Dong is too strong. We can be allies, but never enemies!"

"Xingyi Technology needs money, traffic, technology, and development. Only fools are willing to compete with them."

…

After hearing this, those who objected shut their mouths.

After all, Baidu has been miserably beaten by Xingyi Technology, let alone JD.com.

There's really no need to fight to the death.

Still able to work well together.

Da Qiangzi had a calculation in his mind: 'It seems that I have to find time to visit Director Wang and discuss the other party's plans and tone.'

'But I guess Director Wang will be unavailable during this time. Xingyi Technology has just bought a stake in iFlytek. I guess Director Wang has to go to iFlytek and will have to wait until this matter is finished.'

As Da Qiangzi expected, Song Sining and iFlytek negotiated all the agreements, and three days later, Wang Yi came to iFlytek in person to attend the final signing ceremony.

Many reporters came to the scene, and they all pointed their guns at Wang Yi and iFlytek.

Wang Yi and Liu Yifeng signed and shook hands, and the entire signing ceremony was officially concluded.

Next is a regular press conference to answer questions from reporters on site.

"Director Wang, you have already acquired Xiaoi Robot and have made great achievements in the field of AI. Why do you want to invest in iFlytek again?"

This question is more acute. Wang Yi can't answer "Is it a protective investment?"

But Wang Yi had also seen many scenes and smiled heartily:

"This is a good question. The reason why we acquired Xiaoi Robot is because of Xiaoi Robot's achievements and R&D capabilities in the field of AI. But the field of AI is a very grand, unlimited, and endless field. Any one

Enterprises that go on R&D alone make slow progress. For this reason, we have invested in iFlytek, which also has deep knowledge in the field of AI and strong R&D capabilities. Join forces!"

"Director Wang, why do some people say that your investment in iFlytek is a protective acquisition to prevent iFlytek from developing smart homes, delaying the sales of Xiaoai Audio, and affecting the development of Xingyi Smart Home?"

Wang Yi looked calm on the surface, but he knew in his heart that this guy was definitely arranged by a friend to cause trouble!

Sure enough, Baidu Li Yan watched the live broadcast and smiled: "These two reporters have arranged well and they will cooperate."

Before Wang Yi could explain, another reporter stood up:

"Dr. Wang, with this protective acquisition, do you want to monopolize smart home? Don't let other brands do it?"

This problem is even more acute.

Once the answer is not good, it will be a disaster for Xingyi Technology.

In Xia Kingdom, you can engage in any legitimate industry, but you cannot have a monopoly!

This is the bottom line.

Wang Yi waved his hand: "First, Xingyi Technology's investment in iFlytek is just for strong cooperation and better development of AI, not for a so-called protective acquisition."

"Second, Xingyi Smart Home has never thought of monopolizing smart home. Yes, smart home was created by Xingyi Technology, but it will not monopolize it. After all, there are a large group of companies that like nothing more than to follow suit. For example, Baidu has probably already started

Those who copied Xiaoai Audio are already following the trend of our Xingyi Zhijia."

Li Yan's mouth twitched: "..."

They were all muttering in their hearts: 'Mader, how did he know he was sent by me?'

‘In front of so many media, I bluntly said that Baidu is plagiarizing Xiaoai Audio!’

'Wang Yi, you are cruel!'

Li Yan was very angry, and the reporters who arranged for him didn't know what to say.

It was originally an attack on Wang Yi and the monopoly of Xingyi Technology. How did it become an attack on Baidu for plagiarism?

This boomerang is so abrupt!

Frankly speaking, Wang Yi didn't know at first that these reporters were arranged by Baidu. It was just a guess.

Now Wang Yi's strategy is, whoever attacks me, I will attack Baidu!

After all, it has the most conflicts with Baidu.
