Menerima Perubahan Era Ekonomi Digital.

Alibaba Business School telah menawarkan Program Alibaba Netprener  kepada 42 usahawan pelbagai bidang termasuk pembuatan, industri kewangan, E-commerce, logistic dan IT. Seorang peserta dari Sarawak iaitu Mohammad Hafidz Rohani yang menjalankan perniagaan pembuatan Kek Lapis Sarawak merupakan salah satu peserta wakil dari negeri ini menceritakan pengalaman beliau kepada Utusan Borneo hari ini. Program ini telah berlangsung dari 14 April 2019 sehingga 24 April 2019 di Kampus Alibaba, Hangzhou, China.

Peserta yang dipilih telah melalui proses pemilihan yang ketat dimana hampir 300 peserta telah memohon dan hanya 84 sahaja di senarai pendek untuk temuduga. Peserta dipilih terdiri dari pelbagai bidang perniagaan untuk mewujudkan perbincangan dan idea yang meluas.

Antara yang menarik perhatian adalah semasa sesi bersama Puan Yu Yuan, salah seorang rakan kongsi Kumpulan Alibaba. Beliau menerangkan mengenai "Tao Alibaba" yang berjaya dibentuk sehingga menjadikan syarikat ini berjaya membentuk semangat kerja di kalangan 110,000 pekerja di kumpulan ini. Katanya, visi dan misi syarikat yang baik seharusnya dapat dirasai kewujudannya oleh semua. Bagi mewujudkan pasukan yang kuat, setiap pekerja juga mestilah dianggap sebagai rakan strategik yang mempunyai bakat serta kebolehan unik dan tersendiri.

Peserta juga dibawa untuk melawat sebuah perkampungan yang dinamakan Baicaowei. Di kampung ini majoriti penduduknya menjana Kekayaan dengan menjalankan perniagaan atas talian sama ada melalui Taobao, T-Mall dan pelbagai platform lain. Terdapat 68 syarikat disini yang menjalankan perniagaan atas talian  dan menjana RMB400 juta setahun. Mereka memasarkan pelbagai produk baik yang di import mahupun produk perkampungan mereka sendiri iaitu sejenis kacang yang diberikan pelbagai perasa dan pembungkusan menarik. Usaha ini telah menarik anak muda untuk kekal berada dan bekerja di kampung, ia membuka peluang pekerjaan yang besar kepada masyarakat setempat.

Kami juga dibawa untuk mendengar sendiri pengalaman pelajar di Alibaba Business School di Hangzhou Normal University. Fakulti perniagaan ini telah dibiayai sebanyak RM100 juta oleh CEO Alibaba Tuan Jack Ma yang pernah  belajar Bahasa Inggeris disini. Pelajar ini digalakkan untuk membuka perniagaan atas talian semasa mereka berada disini dan boleh menggunakan fasiliti untuk menjalankan perniagaan. Terdapat sesetengah pelajar ini yang telah membuat puluhan juta Yuan setahun dalam perniagaan mereka.

Kami juga turut dibawa melihat Pasaraya Moden Hema di sini. Konsep pasaraya ini adalah sangat unik kerana ia menyediakan penghantaran percuma dalam lingkungan 3 kilometer. Pelanggan boleh membeli secara atas talian dan pesanan akan dihantar. Bahan mentah seperti daging, ayam atau daging Babi juga boleh semak pembekal, jangka hayat dan juga asal dengan hanya mengimbas kod QR. Makanan seafood juga boleh di beli dan di masak secara segar disini.

Peserta juga telah dibahagikan kepada 5 kumpulan dan sepanjang program ini mereka telah diberikan beberapa tugas serta menyertai "Business Hackaton" yang perlu di bentangkan kepada pengurusan kanan Kumpulan Alibaba pada hari terakhir. Pada sesi ini semua input yang dipelajari hendaklah dipraktikkan dan diterangkan dengan lebih mendalam. Perbincangan dan perdebatan juga telah diadakan dalam setiap sesi pitching ini.

Antara tugas lain yang diberikan adalah eksplorasi bandaraya pintar Hangzhou. Bandaraya ini dikenali sebagai "Bandaraya Tanpa Tunai" dan kebanyakkan aktiviti hanyalaha menggunakan aplikasi Alipay atau Wechat Pay baik dari segi pembayaran semasa menaiki bas, tren, teksi penyewaan basikal dan pembayaran di kedai-kedai.

Pengalaman yang beliau dapati di bumi Hangzhou ini adalah sangat berharga dan antara intipati yang akan dipraktikkan adalah bersedia menerima perubahan dan menggunakan platform e-commerce untuk memajukan perniagaan dengan lebih cepat. Selain itu juga beliau menasihati usahawan untuk mendalami dan membudayakan visi, misi dan nilai-nilai dalam membentuk syarikat yang berjaya.

Sekian.

Goodbye Intern

Hari terakhir pelajar praktikal kami Cik Bibiana & Cik Diana dari Institut Pertanian Sarawak berkhidmat di syarikat Kumpulan Iana.

Dua (2) bulan mereka bertugas dengan kami dan saya sebagai pemilik walaupun tidak mengendalikan mereka secara penuh saya akan pastikan mereka dilengkapi dengan pelbagai pengalaman.

Dua bulan bersama kami mereka ditempatkan selama sebulan di bahagian produksi membuat kek, menggulung kek dan belajar mengenai cara-cara serta kos membuat kek. Sebulan kemudian mereka berada di bahagian jualan. Belajar cara melayan pelanggan, Menghadapi pelanggan, mengendalikan mesin POS dan urusan pembayaran menggunakan kad kredit serta pos.

Mereka juga sempat dihantar ke Marudi bagi menjaga tapak expo. Menguruskan penghantaran, setting tempat, mencari homestay dan merasa susah berexpo.

Saya mendoakan mereka berjaya dalam bidang yang akan diceburi. Diana bercadang melanjutkan pelajaran ke UPM Bintulu manakala Bibi mahu memulakan perniagaan bakeri di kampungnya.

Alibaba Business School

1st Day Alibaba Business School.

When I met this laupan, seems like I know him. Met before. Ingat ingat lupa. But we we talk further and mention about printing I quickly tap his shoulder and straight away say,

"Now I remembered you, you are the tokey with multi million worth of machine you have. Kieran introduced me to you few years ago".

He is the oldest among us at the age of 50 selected to join this. He ask me my printing progress and as usual he is very direct and blunt provoke me with question. He told me "Hafidz, Now Be The RAJA"

What I learn from our conversation? Here for you too to absorb.

1.  Small place is the best place to do business. Be the King that start thing. Don't go to place where there are already too many competitor.
2. Teach customer to adapt to what we have. We don't have offset printer but we can sell value and solution to their needs.
3. Don't look things at its basic. Create the expensive finish product. Like printing, think about making the box, sticker or other.

I also have a good chat with James. He is from the owner of gdeal.com. He involve a lot in ecommerce business selling primarily furniture and many more thing.

He sells through his website that link to Shopee, Lazada, 11th Street and many more market place. It is an easy work where he just need to upload info in his website and it will then sync to all this market place.

He have about 20 people that work handling all the orders, packaging, promotion for his business.

What is the take away I learn?

1. Now it is no more trading. We should involve in ecommerce.
2. Find a system that help you do things easily. Don't develop if it's already supported in the market.

Insyallah #sitipayung especially #borneooutletstore will follow suit. Discussion has been made by this supplier. Introduced by #mralmas Alfian Yusop when we met last month.

Meet up few new friends from different background. Mastering in eCommerce, Internet of thing and few from manufacturing. Absorbing their knowledge and try to match where ever possible in my business.

Like a full glass with water, I need to empty it first to receive new water. What I learn can be quite a number, but there are lot more that I do not know.

I spoke with different guys today and I will tell you what they do and how they started. Let it be useful for all of us.

I met Mehedi Hasan Sumon, an immigrant from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 for more than 12 years. Facing a problem to live like local. Buy things online, make payment, phone access problem etc. So he and few friends come out with one solution introducing My Care Apps.

In this close community, self registered account and exclusive approved member they can send money to oversea, make payment, buy reload, purchase ticket and do many more thing. Immigrant in Malaysia be it from Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Nepal, can do many things.

They are now operating in Singapore, Australia and few more countries counting. Their monthly total transaction currently tap around RM10m with 15 in house expert.

What is the learning you get from here? For me I concluded into these:

1. Never underestimate the minority group  pool of purchase.
2. Your problem can be a problem for others too, try to solve it.
3. Don't judge someone by its appearance.

Opening Bank Account & Simcard.

One of the earliest task today was to get our local simcard and go to the bank to open an account. This is to prepare us with China culture of buying, paying and do many transaction via Alipay, Wechat Pay etc.

We went to HZBank and ICBC to open a bank. On Sunday? Yes... I was so curious, they open the bank for us to open an account. We were serve like a VIP.

Now I can use Alipay not only in China but also in Malaysia. This will be a big payment gateway for many more people around the world

CHINA - ALIBABA NETPRENEUR TRAINING (ANT)

Alhamdulillah I was selected for the program fro 14/4-24/4 in Alibaba Business School, Hangzhou.

This is a very eye opening, focus centric and powerful classes to be mingle around with almost 42 key person of different industry such as manufacturing, financial, big data, logistics, IOT.

The Tao of Alibaba

We have a talk with Ms Yu Yan. She is one of Alibaba Partner. The class was in Chinese but we have translator to do the English part.

This is some of the take away during the class. A summary from other class member.

- Your best performance today might be the minimum requirement for tomorrow.

- Be and find the best of you.

- The most important objective is to create customer value and the wealth will naturally follow.

- Our mission and vision should be easy to remember and be memorable.

- Customers come first, employees come second and shareholders come third. Customers come first as they are the reason for our existence, employees come second as empowering our employees allow them to serve our customers better and shareholders third since if we serve customers well then shareholder value should be delivered as a result.

- Every decision made to move Alibaba from a B2B business model to a B2B2C business model was made consistent with it's mission, vision and values subject to it's organisational ability and human management. The strategy was to create platforms to empower all market participants to deliver customer value.

- Form a strategy by moving backwards from a point 10 years in the future and seeing how you can move to that point.
