Chapter 333: Showing Fangs

As the boss of the company, it is impossible for Liu Yun to do everything himself.

In many cases, he only needs to set a general direction and let his subordinates carry it out.

The prototype of the group company has been formed, and the next thing he needs to do is to perfect it step by step.

......

Hangzhou, Alibaba's office building.

At this moment, the old horse was frowning, as if he couldn't make up his mind.

Yoyo Holidays is expanding faster than he could have imagined, and the company's valuation is soaring.

Only a year has passed since the three-year VAM agreement, and Lao Ma has already admitted defeat, and a few months ago, he also paid a real amount of liquidated damages, tearing up the original exclusive agreement on Alipay.

Now it seems that the money was spent in vain. The old Liang of Ctrip was reluctant to introduce Alipay as an excuse because he owned the shares of Yoyo Holiday.

This guy would rather use Tenpay, which has a lower market share and fewer users, which makes his heart feel depressed.

Lao Ma is making an idea in his heart, since this gambling agreement has admitted defeat.

Can he use one of these terms in advance to acquire a 10% stake in Yoyo Holiday at a 9% discount of the market price?

Judging by the current trend, the valuation of Yoyo Holiday is on the rise almost every day.

Lao Ma knows that for every day of delay, he is very likely to pay a higher price to buy the 10% of the shares.

He hesitated for a moment and dialed Liu Yun's phone.

"Yo, Mr. Ma, it's rare to call me. It's been a long time since we've been in touch. Liu Yun saw the caller ID, connected the phone and laughed.

Ma Yun must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, the last time he called, this guy spent a sum of money to invalidate the Alipay peer exclusivity agreement.

This time, I don't know what idea I came up with to trick myself.

Ma Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, I saw that "World of Warcraft" is on fire, and it is already one of the most profitable online games in Huaxia, so I specially called to congratulate you." ”

After Liu Yun heard this, a thought flashed in his heart, this Warcraft has been in commercial operation for four months, and your old man has only called to congratulate him now?

It's really a drunkard's intention not to drink.

He smiled: "Thank you Mr. Ma for your kind words, but it's a pity that Ali has no plan to act as an agent for the game, otherwise we can cooperate." ”

Lao Ma hurriedly shook his head and replied: "If you don't make games, even if we Ali starve to death, we will resolutely not make games." The game can't change Huaxia. ”

He said it sincerely, and his tone was resolute, if Liu Yun didn't know the future historical trend, he would really be moved by this old fool.

In 2006 and 2010, Ma Yun said in public that Ali would not engage in game Ali, but in 2014, he immediately threw the original Chengruo out of the clouds, announced his official entry into the game industry, and even poached the corner of another game giant company, NetEase, through headhunting.

Liu Yun couldn't help but show a tone of admiration and said, "Mr. Ma, I admire your original intention of not shaking the principle for money. I will always remember what you said, Ali doesn't make games. ”

Ma Yun listened to Liu Yun's tone a little strangely, as if she was reminding herself not to forget what she said, and she seemed to be worried that she would enter this market and steal his job.

He continued: "My old horse is a good talker, you don't need to worry. ”

Liu Yun is mostly ridiculous, he doesn't care whether Ali enters the game market, not to mention that 2014 is still a lot of time away from today.

In his mind, the biggest competitors in the gaming market are still Tencent and NetEase.

He asked again: "Mr. Ma, get down to business." When you call me, it shouldn't be as simple as saying congratulations. ”

Ma Yun was slightly stunned, sure enough, he was a young man, and he couldn't hold his breath.

He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Liu, do you remember the gambling agreement between us?" If I lose, I lose, so can a clause in this agreement be enforced together?"

Liu Yun instantly understood the true purpose of Lao Ma's call.

Nowadays, the expansion rate of Yoyo Vacation is very amazing, and the valuation is also rising.

He understands that the longer the time drags on, the other party will buy his shares at a greater price.

Liu Yun was silent for a few seconds and said, "Mr. Ma, you have to understand that there is still a year and a half before the time agreed in our contract. ”

Ma Yun showed a helpless wry smile, this cunning family did not agree, and did not refuse, but repeated the old tricks, and used the original contract as a rhetoric.

This kid talks about the spirit of the contract every day, and knocked himself out of $2 million with the exclusive agreement of Alipay peers agreed in the agreement.

He said with some anger: "Mr. Liu, I have already admitted defeat in advance of the gambling agreement." ”

Liu Yun smiled and said: "Mr. Ma, I didn't let you admit defeat in advance, you can wait until the agreement expires before admitting defeat, not to mention that there is no agreement between us, once we admit defeat in advance, the equity acquisition clause in it will need to be implemented in advance." ”

Ma Yun was speechless for a while, once this guy came up with the terms of the contract, he could only be speechless.

After all, the bigwigs in the Internet industry must not ignore the terms of the contract, and it is definitely a shame for this to be spread.

Liu Yun's eyes flashed, and several thoughts flashed through his mind, and he suddenly thought that this was a rare opportunity.

After thinking for a while, he spoke: "Mr. Ma, this 10% of the shares are not impossible to sell now, I have a few conditions." ”

Lao Ma immediately replied: "You said that even if it is higher than the market price, it doesn't matter." ”

He was very optimistic about the huge appreciation space of Yoyo Holiday Network, but added very smartly: "Mr. Liu, Alipay's exclusivity agreement must not be signed again." ”

This cunning old fox.

"Of course, of course. Liu Yun replied with a smile.

Not to mention that Lao Ma could not agree to this agreement, the government would not be able to pass that hurdle.

He said: "The market price is still the market price, the current valuation is 200 million US dollars, 10% of the shares at a 9% discount, 18 million US dollars, you can take it from Mr. Ma." ”

Lao Ma deserves to be a shrewd character, he did not show a trace of excitement, but asked in a solemn tone, "What do you want?"

Liu Yun chuckled and said his purpose: "1. Taobao still wants to fully promote Yoyo Holiday on the homepage, and if this link is removed within ten years, a liquidated damages of 100 million yuan will be paid." 2. If Ali wants to sell the shares of Yoyo Holiday one day, it can only be recovered by me, and the price is the market valuation at that time. ”

Ma Yun feels that the liquidated damages for the first condition are a bit high, but Ali owns 30% of the website's equity, and there is no reason to remove this link.

The second condition is not too harsh, if you really want to cash out one day, it will be the same for anyone you sell to, the difference is only to make more money and make less money. The condition given by the other party is to repurchase at the market price, which is already very sincere.

"I agree, but that's all?" Ma Yun asked.

"Of course, there's one more. Liu Yun chuckled and said: "Starting next year, I am ready to launch an online booking business, and I hope that Mr. Ma can take my hand at that time." ”
