In the early winter in the south, time seems to have forgotten the change of seasons, still stuck in late autumn, the weather is warmer than the previous days, the sun is more bright, and the flower beds on both sides of the orange street are still blooming. The morning fog melted away by the golden sun, revealing a canopy of tiles and tiles above the city.

On the 28th floor of the Harmony Building, this winter is particularly busy.

In the conference room, the scene is the same as yesterday, Lin Yan's external legal department, information consulting company and the finance department led by Zhou Tong are intensively negotiating about how the digital world can cooperate with Ali Group.

Since the beginning of November, Lin Yan and Zhou Tong participated in the West Lake Sword Debate in H City, and were invited to visit Ali's headquarters, and after the two returned to S City, the two companies began to negotiate cooperation and financing between the two sides 17175 online transactions and Alipay Finance Company.

The digital world has set up a special team, Lin Yan is the nominal leader, and the actual person in charge is Zhou Tong. Lin Yan was the shopkeeper, but he also audited a few times, and the group meeting discussed the meeting, and he also had some understanding of the process and team building. On this day, the team led by Zhou Tong was busy in the conference room for another afternoon, and Lin Yan drafted some documents in his office.

After getting off work, Zhou Tong stroked his forehead, he was also a little dissatisfied with the investigation materials of these consulting companies, and was about to go back to the finance room, Li Jiaqi stopped Zhou Tong in a timely manner, "Sister Tong, Lin Yan asked you to go to his office, and I have something to talk to you about." ”

"Oh, okay, thank you!"

"Stinky stone, what's the matter that bothers me? Didn't I see my sister?" Zhou Tong thought to himself. Since he came back from H City, the name of Lin Yan has also changed from Lin Yan to 'stinky stone'.

Zhou Tong knocked on Lin Yan's office, and after entering the door, he sat directly on the tea table, boiling tea by himself, and said without stopping: "Shishi, why are you calling me in such a hurry? I've been busy all day, and I didn't see you pour me a glass of water." ”

Lin Yan stopped what he was doing, walked to Zhou Tong and sat down, and said, "Sister Tong, our cooperation with Ali this time is deep, and this financing process is very complicated, and I have worked hard for you." I have listened to your discussions a few times, Sister Tong, Ali, they have entrusted a professional team to investigate, evaluate, and design a financing plan for us, and we have also set up a special team to negotiate, counter-investigate, and find a third-party consulting company to evaluate, I hope you can win this financing, not be acquired.

I would like to emphasize that the motivation for our financing this time is: first, to obtain strategic opportunities, second, to create synergies, and third, to acquire talent and sales network channels. The new business of both of us is Taobao, which the other party mentioned last time, and the soon-to-be-established shopping website has broad market prospects.

Our advantage lies in our leading technology strength and strategic framework, and their advantage is the ability to flow capital and market layout. It's like fighting a war, we are familiar with the terrain and have a strategic plan, and they have weapons and personnel, and we can't say who is more important than whom, and for the victory of the war, cooperation between the two sides is the most important and fastest way.

Zhou Tong, you have to be prepared, after this cooperation is negotiated, you will be busy, often travel, your Xintong accounting firm will find a successor, and the financial department will promote talents to assist Zhou Lili. This financing can be said to be of epoch-making significance, whether it is direct financing, indirect financing, merger and acquisition financing or equity exchange, etc., you just need to know that we are not selling the company, but seeking funds and cooperation. Because what we're missing the most at the moment is the flow of money. ”

Zhou Tong nodded and said: "Yes, Alitong Company is currently serving the 17175 online trading platform, and the role is indeed a bit overkill, the amount on the 17175 online transaction is not enough to support the operation of Alitong, if it were not for the help and support of Xintong Accounting Firm, Alitong Company would also be in a state of loss." But I believe that with the gradual heat of the online game market, the capital flow of Alitong will become larger and larger, coupled with our living payment projects, such as online payment of water and electricity bills, mobile phone payment, etc., and the strengthening of cooperation with banks and telecommunications and other departments, these are enough to make Alipay grow up, why are you so eager to finance?"

Lin Yan smiled and said, "You're right, but it's too slow. How long does it take for the online game market to become popular? How long does it take for players to recognize the 17175 online trading platform? These are all accumulations that take time, and they are not under our control. Have you ever thought about what if in this process, a powerful and creative company also makes an online trading platform, and also makes a 'Fortune Pass' and 'Fortune Treasure' similar to our payment company, paving the way through a lot of money? We don't have time to wait now, we have to seize the opportunity and open the channel quickly. Now the most effective and easiest way is to cooperate with Ali and accept their financing, Ali has a ready-made team, corporate customer resources and network channels, we use Ali, and Ali also uses our technical support, it is a win-win situation for both parties.

Do you remember the last time the West Lake night tour, Ma Yun said that he would plan to engage in a shopping network 'Taobao', we participated in this project, with B2C, C2C model, combined with the experience of 17175 online transactions, by Ali funds to spread out the market, I believe that the traffic of this website will soon grow explosively, and the capital flow of our payment finance company will also skyrocket rapidly. ”

Zhou Tong looked at Lin Yan and said quickly, he didn't mean to stop at all, and slandered in his heart: "Actually, we can also build a shopping website ourselves, why cooperate with his Taobao, isn't it our strength to build a website?"

Lin Yan seemed to have insight into Zhou Tong's thoughts, and without waiting for Zhou Tong to speak, he continued: "You must be thinking, why don't we open a shopping website ourselves, is this our strength? Lack of talent, a large number of marketing and channel establishment, not our current manpower can do, nor is it a problem that can be solved by millions, Ali's second round of financing has 20 million US dollars, their current project is also developing on this, we cooperate with them is the wisest choice.

Moreover, Taobao's competitor is easy to take the network, easy to take the network is also a foreign background, the future of the competition in the shopping mall will inevitably be a dragon fight, the small digital world is somewhat unsustainable, but the 17175 online trading platform is to the virtual props of the online game as the market product, the current competition is not fierce, our advertising only needs to be placed in 2 places, one is the online game portal, the other is the Internet café, so our investment is not much, the Internet café only needs poster publicity, the online game portal is our strength, Taobao's future battlefield whether it is online and offline is overwhelmed, this cost you think about it yourself。 ”

Zhou Tong breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "In this way, you have been planning this financing cooperation for a long time, so what do you want to do?"

Lin Yan shook his head and said: "I don't know it's so fast, it's just a coincidence, this financing cooperation, I hope it is an equity exchange, we use 25% of the equity of the 17175 online trading platform and 25% of the equity of Alitong Financial Company in exchange for 50% of the equity of Taobao.com, if Ali also wants to pay for 25% of the equity, then use the funds to integrate into Alitong." As long as it's about this plan, we won't lose, I think Ali should agree, we use so much sincerity in exchange for such enthusiasm for unknown Taobao, you operate according to this goal. ”

Today, Friday, Zhou Lili went to class at the headquarters of S University in the afternoon, Jiang Wenting and Ran Yutong have rarely seen Zhou Lili recently, and they have dinner with her at school.

"Lily, it's been a long time since you've had dinner in the cafeteria, so let's talk with the sisters today. ”

"That's it, that's it, now that I've achieved a positive result with Lin Yan, I won't play with my sisters anymore, hum~"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll eat with you today, but I still have to go to Xiangcheng District in the evening, the company has been very busy recently, my sister must still be working overtime, I have to go over to help at night." ”

"In the evening, I'll go over too, take me along!" Jiang Wenting said as she looked at Lily with wide eyes.

"You want to go to Fang Hui, hehe, you tell him on the phone, let him come to accompany you tomorrow. Zhou Lili teased.

"There are no surprises on the phone, I'll come with you tonight. ”

It's past 7 o'clock in the evening, and it's long past the end of work, but the digital world is still brightly lit, and most employees are still fighting at night. The young lady at the front desk had already gotten off work, Li Jiaqi was temporarily sitting there doing documents, watching Zhou Lili come in with her classmates, and greeted with a smile, "Lili is so late, go back to the office!" "Sister Jiaqi is good." ”

A few girls chatted at the front desk, and Lily asked Wen Ting to wait here, so she went to find Fang Hui herself, wanting him to come out.

Zhou Lili came to the operation department, and at this time Lin Hai was holding a small meeting with Chen Zhian and Fang Hui in the office, talking about the company's operation, "The era of diversification of game portals is coming soon, and we ...... it."

Zhou Lili passed by the door of Linhai's office, but she was not embarrassed to knock on the door, and turned to leave for the financial office.

I thought that Sister Zhou Tong must be very busy now, so let's go and help myself. Several accountants in the office of the finance department have already left work, only Zhou Tong's assistant Sherry is still there, Zhou Lili asked, "Is Sister Tong off work?"

"Sister Tong should be in the chairman's office, she went after the meeting in the afternoon and didn't come back. ”

"Where is Lin Yan's office?"

"Well, yes. Sherry nodded.

"Everyone else is off work, why don't you get off work?"

"Everyone has just left, and I'm ready to get off work, and I want to wait for Sister Tong to come before leaving. ”

"Sherry, you go first, I'll just wait for her here, thank you. Zhou Lili said.
