Gdex can't compete with century. 1) century have bigger warehouse for taking up new client such as `Lazada'. 2) CJK's have good link with Lazada. 3) Alibaba own lazada 4) Mah is coming to KL tomo for announcement.
CJ Korea Express Corp., South Korea’s largest parcel delivery service company, said Tuesday that it inked an international delivery service contract with Southeast Asian online retailer Lazada Group SA, which operates in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Under the deal, CJ Korea Express would be in charge of delivery of goods made in Korea that customers buy in the regional markets via Lazada’s website. Those customers are estimated to reach more than 560 million. Before the deal, the Korean courier service company delivered parcels -as many as 700,000 boxes - to Lazada’s customers in Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia from China in the first half of this year. It saw high growth potential in Southeast Asia during the business, the company said.
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. is making its largest overseas investment with a $1 billion deal for control of Lazada Group SA, taking the Chinese e-commerce giant to Southeast Asia and closer to a goal of shedding its home-market reliance.
KUALA LUMPUR • Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Limited plans to set up a regional distribution hub in Malaysia to cater to its fast-growing business in the region, two sources aware of the discussions said. The hub would be located within KLIA Aeropolis, a 10,000ha development led by airport operator Malaysia Airports Holdings that is expected to generate more than RM7 billion (S$2.2 billion) worth of domestic and foreign investments. Alibaba executive chairman Jack Ma and Prime Minister Najib Razak are expected to announce the plans at an event in Kuala Lumpur this week, the sources said. The hub will be set up with the help of Malaysian state-linked agencies. It was not clear whether Alibaba would invest funds in the project.
Ma is smart, he wants fast action. Century got plenty of new storage spaces, no need to wait as new warehouse start operation in May and CJK has good link with lazada, and easily ink another deal in Malaysia with lazada.
no, business is business. Century is the best logistic company in Malaysia and will benefit big time. China and South Korea is not at war...in fact, their trade is increasing year by year.

Now China ban Korea. Alibaba will ban Korea also. But he bought lazada. Will that be danger?
Actually it is not an official ban of Korean goods by China, just boycott by Chinese public to protest about Korea's installation of THAAD missiles supplied by US. This would only ttemporarily affect Korean goods in China market, but not outside China. See this news:
Whereas in September-2016, barely a week after CJKE acquired Century Logistics, they signed a deal with Lazada, the coincidence of timing of both events clearly shows CJKE's great plan to use Century Logistics as their ASEAN's regional hub for e-Commerce parcel delivery:
According to their agreement, CJ Korea Express will handle the delivery of goods from South Korea to Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam (collectively known as ASEAN region).
Century's multilevel warehouse will be ready in May, just 2 months from now, and their Exec Director said they are going to launch their new Courier Division in the next couple (2?) of months, about the same timing...
That means the two new Catalysts are soon going to spur CL's growth going forward... Good for mid to longterm investment. I'm still holding my CL position, waiting to ride the growth of CL...
We may consider the CJKE's purchase price at Rm1.45 as reference TP... because the Koreans need to justify to their shareholders this is the fair value they have paid for, sooner or later this should be reflected in the stock price... Let's see how soon Mr. Market will agree with this...
GDex PE 83x. Century PE23x. POS 44x. Gadang 8x (all have double digits growth, the funny part is Gadang last FY profit is almost equal to GDex last 5 years total cumulated profits). Maybe, Gadang should be called Gadex? And invest into e-commerce? Or tie up with Alipay?
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
