Internet companies are unpredictable. Once Baidu was far ahead, then Ali went forward bravely, and now JD.com is catching up with Ali. Today, Jingdong's market value has reached 1,055.63 billion. At the previous morning meeting of JD executives, as the number one in JD.com, Liu Qiangdong said that he would personally lead the team and lead JD.com into the community group buying field and fight the community group buying battle.
Some media broke the news that at present, JD.com has integrated its community group buying business platforms: Youjia Shop, Cricket Buying and Jingdong District Shopping, and has established a community group buying business department under the omni-channel business group of JD Supermarket.
Perhaps, everyone should remember that after Liu Qiangdong's previous negative news appeared, he was very low-key for a period of time. I have been absent from high-level Internet summits many times, but now, the market value of JD.com has not fallen, but has increased dramatically. Liu Qiangdong's net worth is also ranked 89th in the "Hurun Global Top 100 Entrepreneurs" with RMB 95 billion.
Currently, JD.com is still the second domestic e-commerce company. After Liu Qiangdong’s accident, Ali took the opportunity to attack, increase investment, and seize market share. Jingdong’s growth rate has fallen below 30%, while Ali’s growth rate has exceeded 50%, and the gap seems to be widening. At that time, many people thought that Jingdong was about to end, not only did not have the opportunity to surpass Ali, even the second position may be taken away by rising star Pinduoduo.
Liu Qiangdong also suffered heavy losses due to his investment in luxury homes in Macau. Then Liu Qiangdong closed JD's milk tea shop. In fact, this is a symbolic gift he gave to his wife. It can be said that if there is no United States, then Liu Qiangdong would not be what he is now.
Regarding this major crisis, Liu Qiangdong simply came up with a "self-exposure to family ugliness" method, enumerating all the problems of JD. For example, the team's combat effectiveness is declining, and people are overwhelmed; JD Logistics loses 30 billion, which is only enough to last for 2 years. Since the beginning of last year, the shuffling operation of scraping bones has begun. Liu Qiangdong has laid off three executives one after another, and also expressed that he will eliminate 10% of the vice presidents and so on. Liu Qiangdong's purpose is only one, and that is to retrieve the previous wolf team. One thing that happened immediately after
, it can be said that Liu Qiangdong succeeded in indirect revenge. Liu Qiangdong successfully lost 1 billion yuan to Google, the second largest company in the United States.
JD.com has two American shareholders, one is Wal-Mart, which holds 9.8% of the shares and is JD’s third largest shareholder. At that time, it was acquired in exchange for Wal-Mart’s Yihaodian, and later added some shares; the other was Google, with an investment of US$550 million and a shareholding ratio of less than 1%. In addition, Tencent holds 17.9% of the shares and is the largest shareholder. Liu Qiangdong holds 15.1% of the shares and is the second largest shareholder with 78.5% of the voting rights. Jingdong is firmly in the hands of Liu Qiangdong. At that time, many people were also optimistic about this kind of cooperation.
introduced the two giants of the United States, Wal-Mart and Google, for their own purposes. Wal-Mart is the world's largest supermarket and has a strong voice in the offline world. E-commerce companies are now moving from online to offline, and cooperation with supermarket giants is a very good choice. Google is the world's largest search company and the second largest company in the United States. It has huge traffic resources. Although it has not yet entered China, it is the largest search engine in many countries. JD wants to go global and develop internationalization, and cooperation with Google is undoubtedly the best choice.
However, after Google invested in Jingdong, Jingdong experienced the most turbulent period in history. In this case, Google lost a lot of money on JD.com. According to reports, it has lost 1 billion yuan. But it was an indirect revenge, but for Jingdong and Liu Qiangdong, they also lost a lot of money. However, all of this is calculated by market value. As long as Jingdong can improve its performance, it can still earn it back. For such a huge Google, its impact should not be great.
Liu Qiangdong was born in the countryside and can be said to be a successful representative of the counterattack. He is also an overlord at work and has a strong personality. During the historical development of JD.com, there have been many crises and they have all been resolved. I believe that this time was no exception. The drastic reforms will surely bring about earth-shaking changes.
As expected, after entering 2020, JD.com has achieved good results in many aspects. The market value of JD.com has risen from a low point to US$132.4 billion. JD.com’s new users are also growing steadily, and it is advancing all the way in the sinking market.
JD.com invested in Dada Logistics to go public. The three subsidiaries including JD Logistics, JD Health, and JD Digital also announced that they will be listed in 2021. Especially for JD Logistics, there is important news recently that the previous underground capsule logistics system has achieved a breakthrough. It is understood that this is a new express delivery model developed by JD.com, which has undergone major changes in the way of express delivery.
Liu Qiangdong's idea is to dig an underground logistics channel across the country. Although difficult, it is also planned. Liu Qiangdong's fancy is that the future express market share of 50%, if successful, Liu Qiangdong will undoubtedly become the world's richest man. Looking at Liu Qiangdong's foundation and age, his future is bright.
