"Yesterday, Ah Li announced that its businesses, including Tmall Mall, Taobao C Stores, and 1688, reached a combined one trillion in GMV. Ah Li's dominance is not a good thing for Pinbei or Jingdong."
Liu Qiangdong spoke slowly.
"Being number two isn't so bad," Chen Yansen said with a smile, refusing to play by the book.
'Number two sounds so awful!'
Pinbei would naturally have to take on Ah Li. But how to do it, from what angle, with what force, and at what speed—that required careful planning.
'Let Jingdong lead the charge and draw Ah Li's fire first.'
After all, Liu Qiangdong had repeatedly vowed at the last Yanjing Internet Conference to surpass Ah Li in three years. If he didn't go for it, who would?
The main reason Liu Qiangdong wanted to team up with Pinbei was likely to use Senlian Capital's resources to crush Ah Li first, then turn around and take on Pinbei.
But Chen Yansen wasn't about to fall for that!
