Chapter 1275 Industrial Layout in Southeast Asia
"Let's go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Seeing Taeyeon's petite figure disappear, Park Ji-hoon sighed lightly and said.
The windows closed and the car started slowly.
Leaning on the seat, Park Ji-hoon raised his hand and touched his lips, there was a faint pain, and Taeyeon's tooth marks still remained. His eyes were slightly blurred, and he brought his fingertips to the end of his nose, and there was still a faint warm fragrance, which was Taeyeon's body fragrance.
My heart softened.
Especially thinking of Taeyeon's whispering in her ear just now, I felt a little more sorry. Not only for Taeyeon, but also Yoo-ri and Seo-hyun.
Why does he let a few people bully and call him in peacetime? There is no way to repay him, and he can only treat a few people better!
Return to Tokyo from Hiroshima before flying to Singapore.
All the way without waves.
Park Ji-hoon arrived at Singapore Changi International Airport at 6:15 a.m., went to the hotel he had booked, washed up, and headed straight to the company.
Singapore is one of the most international cities in the world, one of the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, one of the developed countries with the lowest corporate tax rates, and the fourth largest international financial center after New York, London and Hong Kong.
In addition, Singapore is one of the world's largest entrepot trade ports, and re-exporting products to Europe, America, Asia and other countries and regions through Singapore can avoid some economic and political factors affecting trade barriers.
This is very helpful to Park Ji-hoon's career.
It was working time, and the streets were a little crowded, especially when Park Ji-hoon went to Raffles Place, Singapore's largest financial district!
Raffles Place is home to Singapore's banking hubs, with Citibank Asia Pacific Headquarters, Standard Chartered Bank Asia Pacific Headquarters, and local United Overseas Bank, OCBC Bank and DBS Bank Headquarters.
Park Chi-hoon's destination, Equity Plaza, is located above the Raffles MRT station, which is only a two-minute walk from the Raffles Place MRT station!
Belongs to the standard commercial gold area!
It is a 28-storey office tower with 259 strata office units and two floors of retail space with 252,135 sq ft of lettable space, making it one of the few office towers in Singapore with a 99-year leasehold in the heart of the prime commercial district, with title commencing on 7 December 1989. The refurbishment was completed in 2009 to improve the efficiency of the building.
Park Ji-hoon knows so clearly because at the beginning of this year, he bought the building for S$550 million!
The rent of office space in Singapore is very high, especially in this kind of area, so he simply bought such a building privately and gave it to the company for free.
It is not rented out to the outside world, and after three months of interior renovation, it has been officially opened.
More than one company!
First of all, Azubu Games and Azubu TV have moved in, radiating to ASEAN countries, with a series of popular games such as "Dragon Maze", "Clash of Clans", "Monopoly", "Monster Taming", and a series of popular games, as well as a successful localization strategy, it is now the largest mobile game platform and game live broadcast platform in ASEAN.
Secondly, it is AirPay, a mobile payment platform launched in 2014.
With more than 15 million monthly active users of Azubu Games and Azubu TV, AirPay has developed into the largest mobile payment platform in Southeast Asia with the help of these natural resources, as well as cooperation with major convenience stores, rental companies, and governments.
Not only in Southeast Asia, but also in India, AirPay is also the largest mobile payment platform!
AirPay borrows from Venmo, the most popular among young people in the United States, and adds social fun in addition to payment, interacting with friends, seeing what's new in the circle, and giving "likes" to activities between relatives and friends...... It is more trendy, the operation entrance is clear, and the logic is simple.
Finally, there is Shopee, a mobile social e-commerce platform that has just been launched, and logistics companies.
Southeast Asian screen names are generally keen on socializing, Facebook has a high penetration rate, Shopee users can log in to the platform through Facebook accounts, they can invite Facebook friends in, and they can also share products on Facebook. On Shopee, users can see which products their friends have liked, what reviews they have left, and which merchants they have become fans of. When a merchant with user fans launches a new product, users will receive an automatic push as soon as possible to maintain interaction. The seller's store homepage will also clearly display the seller's performance, including the rating given by consumers, the number of sellers' followers, chat response rate and response speed......
Although Park Ji-hoon is currently the second shareholder of Lazada, the largest e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia, he is not satisfied with the way Lazada operates, for example, the price of goods on Lazada is basically the same as that of shopping malls, and he has lost his biggest competitive advantage. Moreover, Lazada is a project of the German Rocket Internet copycat, and the biggest feature of Rocket Internet is that it is quick to achieve quick success, after copycat a project, it is brutally operated, and then packaged and sold at a high price.
Park Ji-hoon took a stake in Lazada and invested in Coupang, all for his own Shopee.
Self-built logistics is also for e-commerce services, of course, it is mainly in cooperation with third-party logistics. The flexible way is one of Shopee's sources of confidence.
The payment market in the 10 ASEAN countries is very complex, consumers in some countries do not like e-wallet payment, and the logistics are not smooth, Shopee chooses to cooperate with convenience stores such as TESCO and 7-Eleven, so that consumers can go directly to convenience stores to pick up goods and check out.
In addition, the interface of AirPay and Shopee was designed and optimized by Park Ji-hoon's team from the mobile game "Monument Valley" released in March this year. Monument Valley is a casual puzzle and puzzle game developed by London-based Ustwo, which is beautiful and almost artistic, and it is simply a visual treat! As early as during the beta, Bud Grint tried to buy Monument Valley, including his team, because Ustwo is not a game company, but unfortunately it was rejected. However, he still informed Park Ji-hoon, so this cooperation was born.
If the appearance is high, there will always be a certain bonus effect. It's like a person who has chosen a wife, and when he meets a beautiful woman, he can't help but take a few looks.
Game + payment + e-commerce, this is his layout in Southeast Asia.
In addition, Southeast Asia has a demographic dividend, has a huge smartphone user base, and is becoming a new growth pole for global smartphones, in the first quarter of 2014 alone, smartphone sales soared by 43%, and the growth rate of mobile shopping is the world's first...... Many factors made Park Ji-hoon choose here.
Originally, India was also his choice, but platforms such as Flipkart, Jabong, and Amazon were fighting hotly, and his team was inexperienced, so he only chose to enter as a mobile payment platform, and he was like a fish in water among major e-commerce platforms and grew rapidly.
He is gradually changing his industrial structure, in order to enhance his influence and discourse.
The wealth has accumulated to the current scale, if there is no corresponding influence, I am afraid that it will be swallowed to the bones!
In thought, the car slowly stopped in front of the Equity Plaza.
It is a beautiful building, the hall on the first floor is a golden outer wall, and the upper 27 floors are smooth blue glass walls, and the whole body is in an arc.
At the door, the heads of several companies who received the news were already in strict formation, and there were more than a dozen people, who saw him get out of the car and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Welcome to the chairman!" Park Ji-hoon had told not to make a big fuss, but they had to brush their faces as the main person in charge.
