Chapter 487 Saab is about to go bankrupt

The figures given by Lu Qi to Qu Li are not precise, and there may be some differences in the end.

The reason why Jumei Platform’s revenue is so high is partly due to Honor. Apple’s iPhone sold more than 2011 million units in China in 1000. Honor covers a wider price range. Selling 1500 to 2000 million units is not excessive, assuming If the average price is 4K, then the sales volume is between 600 billion and 800 billion, and it is possible to bring a transaction volume of 100 billion to the Jumei platform.

Historically, the Taobao platform's transaction volume this year was 6300 billion, accounting for about 8000% of the country's total online retail sales of 80 billion. Jumei has raised the domestic retail sales limit, and this year's proportion may be about 30%. Take a bite out of Taobao Tianmao's mouth a piece of meat.

However, from another perspective, Jumei Logistics’ capabilities really need to be improved.

Lu Qi made adjustments. Jumei will improve the service capabilities of Jumei Logistics, give priority to serving customers on the Jumei Juhuasuan platform, and will not actively solicit external customers...

Tongda Network was open from the beginning, and Jumei Logistics moved from open to closed. This speed of change and adjustment is beyond the reach of traditional enterprises.

A few days later, Shopee released data. Sales in fiscal year 2011 reached US$60 billion. Although this scale is less than one-eighth of Amazon, the growth rate is about 50%.Although foreign operating costs are high, profits are high. Amazon’s commission for each transaction is 9~15%. It can also charge various fees, such as a monthly platform fee of US$39.9, and subsequent advertising fees. The highest of Tianmao is only 5%. The commissions and various charging standards are lower than those in the United States.

How to use numbers to describe the differences in e-commerce between the two countries?According to Amazon’s financial report, third-party sellers account for more than 60% of sales, but commissions and FBA (logistics services) are half of self-operated income.That is to say, for every 100 yuan of goods sold by third-party sellers, they pay an average of 33 yuan to the platform.

Why does Amazon seem so amiable after such a calculation? Don’t worry, there are also advertising costs. This part is about 10%, which means you have to pay 10 yuan more.

Of course, it may not be appropriate for Shopee to refer to Amazon. Then compare it with eBay. Their revenue accounts for about 13% of the platform's transaction volume.As for domestic platforms, calculated from Ali’s financial report figures, commission advertising revenue is only about 7%, and Pinxixi’s is about 4%.

So, what are the domestic sellers complaining about?Is it a "rent-collecting" platform, or is it fierce competition in the "world factory" industry itself?

Jumei platform fees will definitely increase. Domestic consumers have basically accepted online shopping. Now they have to invest in the construction of e-commerce infrastructure. They cannot rely solely on the capital market. Any choice they make now will have to pay a price in the future.

Adequate cash flow is the key to success, and profitability is the last word.

Qu Li and Lu Qi discussed the next plan, preparing to change Jumei's fiscal year to a natural year to facilitate data statistics, which would require the release of two annual financial reports.

After doing these things, Qu Li continued to enjoy life. Hugging him left and right was too exhausting. This time Nazha Rouba took turns to dance for him.

Even if there is an extra variable like Qu Li in this world, what should happen still happened. The Occupy Wall Street movement in the United States, a series of social changes and military battles in North Africa, the debt crisis of the five European pig countries, especially the yield on the Greek ten-year government bond. Soared to 30%, that is, if you lend 100 yuan, the interest will be 30 yuan a year.

The world situation has undergone profound changes, and exchange rate changes have brought a lot of troubles to Jumei and Honor. At this time, investing in the EU requires a certain amount of courage.I originally thought of selling the island to Greece, but I can only postpone it at this time.

Let’s focus on talent at this time. We will arrange for Honor Future Automobile to go to Europe to recruit people. The cash will be virtual, but the technology in our own hands will be real.

Discuss with Honor and Qiancheng Automobile Departments on investment plans to poach people and build factories in Europe.

"Are you thinking too far ahead? We haven't bought a car in Europe yet."

"What should we do? Our cars will become more and more expensive in the future." Qu Li was speechless.

Qiancheng Motors is off to a good start and will definitely not sell cars priced at less than [-] yuan. However, there is a high probability that domestic consumers will not accept domestic cars competing with BBA on the same stage. In this case, it is best to explore the international market.

Especially for hybrids, BYD DMI is better than Volkswagen Toyota. If you combine an electric vehicle and a fuel vehicle, the price is almost the same as a fuel vehicle. How can you make money?We still have to rely on the support of international friends. Of course, the market demands in the two regions are different. BYD DMI is suitable for domestic but not necessarily foreign countries, and the technological development routes may be different.

"Use the Qiancheng brand?" Grand Strategy listened to Qu Li, and no one challenged him

"if not?"

"Saab is going bankrupt."

"Saab, I don't understand."

"Saab, which integrates man and car, is safe and flies close to the ground, was the first to bring aircraft turbocharging technology to cars..."

"Oh, I remember, that Swedish car company that was acquired by General Motors."

"Now it is acquired by Spyker, but the losses are serious." He doesn't know more.

Qu Li did not chat with Qiancheng Automobile. He went back to investigate Saab and quickly figured out the current situation. He had the opportunity to acquire this company in 2009, but he felt it was not necessary. Looking at the situation now, it is still not necessary.

Saab automobile production relies heavily on GM's technology and supply chain. A large number of domestic young people want to acquire Saab, but General Motors opposes it. Some people may think that the United States does not want the country to obtain cash automobile manufacturing technology. Unfortunately, they are wrong. Volvo's technology is inferior to Saab is much more advanced.

General Motors' biggest source of profit is its domestic joint venture car company, General Motors. You see, some people in China don't want GM's technology to appear on more models.Therefore, we are directly opposed to Bisabo being acquired by Chinese companies.

Now that Saab's bankruptcy has become a foregone conclusion, is it necessary for Qiancheng to acquire Saab after it went bankrupt?It was also Modu Auto that inspired him, and the Roewe MG was a big seller in Europe.

Domestic Pangda, Youngman, Huatai and Great Wall have successively contacted Saab. Youngman and Pangda jointly invested US$3.5 million to hold 54% of the shares. Recently, they have invested another 1 million euros to acquire 100% of the shares.

It's a pity that GM, which has veto power, took the weight of the scale and firmly opposed it.For this reason, the Commission issued a risk warning, even if it is acquired, it may not be possible to build a factory in the country.

The general situation was like this. Qu Li contacted Lu Tao and called Zhang Qinan. His goal was very clear, as long as the Saab brand and technical team were needed.

Qiancheng Motors is still unable to develop automobile platforms with its existing talents. Competition for talents is indispensable. Rather than recruiting people from the market, there is no better and faster way than poaching people from Saab, which is about to go bankrupt.

"How to convince Sabo?"

“Is Future Geometry convincing?”

"Our electric vehicles are world-leading."

"Glory has a lot of visibility in Europe."

"Then there's nothing to hesitate about."
