232. Finally gnawed down 10% of the shares
Alibaba, Inc.;
"Mr. Li, hehe, I think you will definitely come!" After a moment of politeness, Ma Yun smiled.
"Mr. Ma, since I'm here, I don't want to go home empty-handed, can you ask, is Alibaba's shareholding structure the same as the last time our President Wang came over, or is it similar?" the old rascal felt that he needed to confirm.
"Alas, Mr. Li, it is not easy for Alibaba to develop to this day, there are some things you can find, some things I don't say, you will never know the hardships!" Ma Yun sighed.
It seems that there is a drama this time, Ma Yun must have also investigated Lao Tzu, so the old rascal said: "Mr. Ma, you say!"
"Alas, at the beginning of last year, we set up a site, and at that time, the company was located at my home by the West Lake, and everyone raised 500,000 yuan to open it. Hehe, in addition to his wife, colleagues, and a few students. But what I was most excited about was our financial officer, Mr. Cai, who gave up his $750,000 annual salary as the vice president of an investment company, Huaxia, to receive a monthly salary of a few hundred yuan. Ma Yun looked at the financial officer, only to see the other party waving his hand and smiling.
"But last year, after the establishment of the website, we made some fame in the industry, the United States' "Business Week" reported us out, hehe, but the fame is there, but the money is gone, we were in a hurry, looking for an investment company, but some conditions are harsh, we rejected the funds of 38 investment companies, and finally, in October last year, Mr. Cai introduced Goldman Sachs, led by them, and gave us a 5 million dollar angel fund. ”
The old rascal thought, 'milk' and 'milk', ordinary people don't have the super cheat of aunt' 'milk' and 'milk', it's really difficult to make a career.
Ma Yun said that these Lao Tzu have really not been found out now, and it is estimated that when Alibaba shines in a few years, Ma Yun will only be 'exposed' when he writes a book.
"Mr. Ma, what's going on with SoftBank?" Wang Zixuan said with a smile: "We only know that they paid $20 million and took 20% of Alibaba's shares. ”
"SoftBank, hehe, if it weren't for the Internet winter, I wouldn't have been angry, although Son Masayoshi helped us solve our urgent needs, but, hehe, at that time, a little, a little bit looked down on people. He asked me, I'm not short of money, what are I looking for him? Hehe, forget it, I don't look back on the past. However, Mr. Li, to be honest, Alibaba is not short of money now. It's the Internet winter, and we don't need much fanfare. Ma Yun said.
"Mr. Ma, as far as we know, companies such as Goldman Sachs and Fidelity have contributed 10 million US dollars, accounting for 18% of your shares, SoftBank has 20%, and you and your team still occupy 62% of the absolute controlling position. After Wang Zixuan finished speaking, he handed over a few pieces of paper.
Ma Yun took it, browsed it, frowned, and said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Wang, are you willing to pay 40 million US dollars to buy 30% of our shares and 20% of the voting rights? ”
'Milk' and 'milk', it's really not good to get in, the old rascal sighed in his heart, so he smiled: "I know that the charm of Internet companies lies in their listing, and SoftBank is the same, relying on dividends, they can't get back their capital for hundreds of years." Mr. Ma, what do you think Alibaba needs most?"
"Hehe, I told our employees a long time ago that we want to build a company that has survived for 100 years, an e-commerce company that serves small and medium-sized enterprises in China, and the largest e-commerce company in the world, to enter the top 10 of the global website rankings. Ma Yun looked at his financial officer and said, "Mr. Li, I admire your Lanyin animation, you have technology beyond the world." But e-commerce companies don't rely on technology, they rely on business ideas. ”
"Hehe, Mr. Ma, don't you think Alibaba is missing something now? Is Alibaba only for small and medium-sized enterprises? Is it just a form of B2B?" the old rascal asked with a smile as he remembered the Taobao that appeared in the next few years.
"Hehe, of course there are B2C, C2C. "As a professional in e-commerce, Ma Yun is of course much stronger than the old hooligan, a 'door' layman, but no matter how strong he is, he will not know what Taobao will look like in 3 years this year.
As the saying goes, the plan doesn't change quickly, and the old rascal smiled again: "C2C is the mainstream in the future, and it is the popularity!" Mr. Ma, let's do it, you say, 40 million US dollars, how many shares and voting rights can we sell?"
When Ma Yun heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, if you really want to buy our shares, you can go to Goldman Sachs, I think 40 million US dollars, they will definitely be willing to give you 18% of the shares in their hands, as for Softbank, I can't say, Son Masayoshi has been interested in us recently, and he plans to inject capital, but I refused." ”
Damn, e-commerce just happened to be a hot spot in the past two years, it's really hard to bite, it's also a monster, Tencent is very inconspicuous now, and Lao Tzu got 20% of the voting rights for 5 million US dollars.
Thinking of this, the old rascal asked Zhong Yuxiu: "In that case, hehe, what is the current market value of SoftBank?"
"More than 120 billion US dollars, almost 190 billion at the beginning of the year. Zhong Yuxiu said.
Ma Yun also smiled: "Mr. Li, SoftBank's strength is still good, so it may be difficult for you to buy Alibaba shares from their mouths." ”
'Milk' 'milk', Softbank 'very' bull, but Lao Tzu remembers that in addition to Microsoft, 90% of Internet stocks have fallen by 9 percent, but Microsoft is not very much a network stock, Softbank is estimated to fall to more than 20 billion US dollars next year, but the shares at that time can be cashed out at any time at that price, 'milk' and 'milk', Son Masayoshi has at least two or three billion US dollars in cash.
The old rascal thought of this, and sighed: "Hehe, Lanyin Investment is not as strong as SoftBank now, but we have also obtained 18% of Google's shares, Google can grow into a great enterprise like Microsoft in the future, Mr. Ma, after Google goes public, we will have at least 8% of the shares, and Microsoft's highest market value is more than 500 billion US dollars." Hehe, Mr. Ma, you have to believe in our strength. After all, SoftBank is a Japanese company, so why do they have to make money? In this way, let's sign a contract, and if we need financing before Alibaba goes public, we can ask us to invest in Lanyin. We will support you unconditionally!"
When Ma Yun heard these words, especially about Google, he pondered for a moment and said: "Hehe, I didn't expect that Google was also acquired by you, and the shares are more difficult to gnaw than us, since Mr. Li can impress them, hehe!" Ma Yun saw that the financial officer also nodded and smiled at himself, so he said: "Then, we will sign this agreement with you." ”
"Okay, let's make a 'handover'!" Mr. Ma, we will not seek a controlling stake, but we must have at least 20 percent of the voting rights!" said the old rascal.
"Hehe, I suggest that Mr. Li can go to Goldman Sachs and ask them to transfer the shares to you, and we ourselves can sell 10% of the shares to you at a price of 20 million US dollars in 62% of the shares, which is our biggest concession, or on the basis of your commitments. Ma Yun said.
For more than an hour, the old rascal stood behind Wang Zixuan, looking at her little hand signing, and the old rascal began to think again;
'Milk' 'milk', Goldman Sachs' 18% plus the 10%, is 28% of the shares, after listing, Lao Tzu also has to get at least 20%, Alibaba listed in 07, Lao Tzu was a super shareholder in the previous life, although he didn't make any money, but he still has a deep memory of Alibaba's performance after listing.
Lao Tzu remembers that Alibaba's market capitalization exceeded $20 billion on the day of listing, Yahoo and SoftBank occupied 40% and 30% of the shares respectively that year, and although Mr. Ma Yun himself was the chairman of the board, he had less than 7% of the shares. But since he's the chairman, it seems that his team still has the right to vote.
Although after the listing, many investors were eager to cash out, and encountered a financial crisis, the stock price fell from more than 40 Hong Kong dollars to more than 3 yuan, but Lao Tzu remembered that after the end of 09 years, the stock price went up again, almost 15 yuan. 'Milk' and 'milk', there will be a market value of about 7.5 billion US dollars, 20% of Lao Tzu, that is, 1.5 billion US dollars, now Lao Tzu has invested 60 million US dollars, and it has become 1.5 billion after nine years, which is equivalent to an increase of 25 times, but Lao Tzu promised Ma Yun that he would invest in the follow-up investment, and he would have to invest at least 100 million US dollars, but if he really invested so much, he would not only have 20% of the shares, but also at least 30% of Lao Tzu. Forget it, as long as you don't have absolute control, it will affect Jack Ma's entrepreneurial 'excitement', 30% will be 30%.
Although it can't be compared with Lao Tzu's efficiency in grabbing money in Europe and the United States, as an honest investment, about 20 times is also very good.
Thinking of this, he heard Ma Yun smile and said: "Mr. Li, since you have become a partner, tonight, I will be the east, and I will invite you to have a meal." ”
The old rascal came back to his senses and said with a smile: "No, no, you are still in the entrepreneurial period, hehe, our Lanyin Animation has created 2 billion yuan in cash income for me, I should invite this meal, not only you, Alibaba now has 100 employees, I have to invite!"
Ma Yun smiled: "Since this is the case, then we might as well be respectful!"
After speaking, Ma Yun also praised in his heart, 2 billion yuan, hehe, it was earned by this young man in less than two months, which is really rare!
It is no secret that the profits created by Lanyin Animation are obvious to everyone, so this time the old rascal personally came to the 'door', and Ma Yun also gave him face and "boldly" sold 10% of the shares.
Chen Damei's 'woman' was still traveling in Qiantang, and the old rascal personally called her and asked her to attend the banquet together in the evening; Chen Damei's 'woman' readily agreed. The old hooligan Niu Qi forked and said, since Sister Chen is so face-saving, well, I will accompany Zixuan and a few 'girl' children to choose dresses and jewelry in a while, and Sister Chen doesn't have to be polite to a billionaire like me, I'll give you a beautiful dress and jewelry.
If the old rascal is in his 40s and is still so angry, Chen Damei's 'female' must be a little disgusted; but the old hooligan is only 19 years old, and Chen Damei's 'female' has some thoughts that cannot laugh or cry at such a "little brother's" bullish behavior and speech.
So many times, young age is an advantage, and it is a big advantage to be close to a beautiful 'woman'.
In the subsequent procurement process, of course, the old hooligan was not polite, and gave Wang Zixuan and Chen Damei's 'female' a necklace of more than 5 million yuan, and the other three 'females' and Chen Damei's 'female' followers came with a necklace of more than 1 million yuan; as for the dress, it was not so exaggerated, less than 100,000 yuan, and one person got one.
Chen Damei's 'female' is a little strange for the old rascal to spend a lot of money like this, and she wants to refuse, but the old rascal said, don't, "The Legend of the Great Sword Master" I am going to shoot a trilogy, each song is at least two and a half hours, with an investment of about 600 million US dollars, Sister Chen, what is your 5 million? When Director Chen Da is in a better mood, save me a fraction, save 30 or 40 million US dollars, how many such necklaces can you buy.
The old rascal is real, he dares to say anything, and he dares to fight any metaphor, but he just says it convincingly, and it makes people feel very comfortable to listen to, Chen Damei's 'woman' really 'revealed' a smile and said, Okay, Yifan, I'll accept it, thank you.
She has already called the old rascal "Yifan" at the request of the old rascal.
And what about the old rascal himself? After changing into a new T-shirt, Wang Zixuan smiled and said, why don't you wear a suit?
Annoying, hot, don't you know that the bosses don't wear suits? Those who wear suits are managers! The old rascal said happily.
At the banquet in the evening, the old rascal was also of high standard, with good food and wine, a person came to a standard of 20,000 yuan, more than 100 people, and a meal, rubbing off more than 2 million. Of course, such a stroke is a joy for all.
Because of the "joining" of Chen Damei's 'woman', the banquet became quite lively. This year, Chen Damei's 'girl' is only in her early 30s, plus she is well maintained, she looks about the same as a twenty-four or five-year-old 'girl', and her fame is in the domestic entertainment industry, she is already a super beautiful 'girl' at the level of the eldest sister, so she is quite sought after by middle-aged men like Ma Yun, and she keeps flattering people who don't want money.
When the wine ended, Wang Zixuan and Chen Damei's 'daughter' all blushed from drinking, and each took two Mercedes-Benz S600s rented by the old hooligans and slowly drove back to the hotel.
The old rascal was already drunk and fainted, he and Wang Zixuan sat side by side in the back of the car, Lu Juan sat in the front seat of the car, this girl adhered to the creed of the bodyguard and did not drink much.
"Baby, hehe, life must be happy, 10% gnawed, the rest, 'handed' to you, go to the United States as soon as possible!"
