Chapter 168 Taobao Options Issues

There have always been a lot of smart people in this world, and the perfect time and space invested by Galaxy Capital in the early stage is ready to be listed this year, and then I heard that Shi Giant's journey is also going to be listed, and Ali is also preparing to go public this year.

Since it is going to be listed, at least some historical problems must be cleaned up. For example, the hilarious option contract signed by Zhou Shi and Ma Ali. It can't be said that he is completely useless, but if you really want to execute, there will definitely be many problems. Maali will also have many problems if he does not want to carry it out. Taobao now has annual sales of 17 billion soft sister coins, and it is debatable to say that he is now worth $3 billion.

"I still think that Taobao's potential is much greater than Alibaba's B2B business, and I don't want to give up this part of the rights. Moreover, you should see the risks faced by Alipay, Taobao's transaction volume last year was 17 billion, almost all of which were carried out through Alipay, this year may reach 40 billion, next year may be 90 billion, will the state let such a financial company let foreign companies control? It is a wild growth now, and it will definitely be regulated in the future. To say that Maali is not worried must be nonsense. Now Taobao has a lot of subsidies to Alipay every year, and according to the calculation of one thousandth, there will be at least 20 million or so handling fees every year. If Zhou Shi wants to buy Alipay, maybe there will be no problem. It's just that the premise of the acquisition is to continue to subsidize Taobao users and let them withdraw cash for free. It feels disgusting to think about it like this, and Zhou Shi paid for free to help Taobao develop. Although it is said that Alipay is well developed, the benefits will definitely be greater. From now on, even if you take out one billion soft girl coins every year to subsidize users, you can make money back in a year after 5 years when you launch Yue Bao. Not to mention that there is still a lot of application space in the future. For example, O2O, P2P, and online banking. If Zhou Shi didn't have much of a choice, he would definitely try to buy Alipay, but unfortunately he really had too many options.

"But before Ali goes public, these things have to be dealt with. Ma Ali also found it difficult to deal with.

"If you don't welcome me to join the shares, then forget it" Zhou Shiyan said insincerely, it's impossible to forget it, it's really so simple, don't go out to mix in the future, just bow down under Ma Ali's skirt.

"How could I not welcome you, the development of Taobao is inseparable from the support of funds!"

"That's easy, let's settle the matter of my stake in Taobao, if SoftBank and Yahoo have any problems, they can communicate with me directly, and I will let Galaxy Capital negotiate on my behalf." "Zhou Shi

Ma Ali looked at Zhou Shi, who had made a decision so quickly, and felt a strange breath from it. People will change after all, and Zhou Shi established a lot of confidence in him through his speech at Davos.

"Okay, then you as soon as possible, the first half of the year has set the matter, and the second half of the year must be listed. ”

"No problem, when I go back to the United States, I'll send someone over. Zhou Shi thought for a while and asked, "Is Ali listed as a whole or partially listed this time?"

"This time, we are preparing to list the assets of our core business B2B," said Ma Ali

"Uncle Ma can take the opportunity of my stake in Taobao to do some asset replacement and transfer part of your equity to the C2C field. Zhou Shi felt that Ma Ali could have more equity, which was a good thing for Ali's long-term development, provided that of course it did not harm his interests.

In his previous life, when Alibaba's B2B business was listed in Hong Kong, Ma Ali and his executives only held 12.79% of the shares, and he himself directly and indirectly held 6.9842%. However, a few years later, when Alibaba went public in the United States, the shares of Ma Ali and Chai Congxin alone exceeded 12.5 percent, and he himself held 8.9 percent of Alibaba's shares. Isn't there a reason for this?

Ma Ali was really a little moved, so it was a little more likely that Zhou Shi would take a stake in Taobao. Although the current Taobao is probably not worth so much money, many people are benchmarking Taobao against eBay. But China is not the United States, and their differences are still very big. If SoftBank and Yahoo understand the peculiarity of the Chinese market, the possibility of Zhou Shi's sole stake in Taobao will be infinitely close to zero. And the further back you go, the greater the price to pay.

Zhou Ma and the two discussed for a while, and the more they talked, the more feasible they felt. Starting with the option contract between Zhou Shi and Ali, step by step to lure the enemy deeper, for example, at the beginning, Zhou Shi did not agree to implement the contract now, and it must not be discussed until the last year, and then Yahoo and SoftBank may threaten that the contract is invalid, and Ma Ali will come forward to negotiate. Zhou Shi agreed to continue the negotiations, but asked for a delay in the delivery of funds, a revaluation of the market value (that is, not based on the market value of $3 billion), and so on, and finally the Ma Ali team made a sacrifice to build Zhou Shi's confidence and was willing to convert part of Ali's shares into Taobao shares (except for the B2B unexpected business, all of which belong to Taobao). Zhou Shi also pushed the boat down the river and accepted the final plan. Although he also has to pay part of the price, relatively speaking, he still makes a lot of money. At least on the issue of Ant Financial, Ma Ali definitely can't avoid Zhou Shi. This is not only because Zhou Shi is Chinese, but also because he has more confidence in his future status.

Although the internal problems of the friend network are almost solved, the external problems have increased. Zhou Shi's fame made many former "big shots" interested in him. For example, some very powerful second generations want to cooperate with Zhou Shi. In the face of these people who are not successful enough to lose things, Zhou Shi doesn't have many good ways, and his friends are still not strong enough now. In addition to procrastinating, slowing down, making yourself stronger, and deterring some careerists is the best way. However, the China Entrepreneur Club is also a good organization, and there will be more solutions here. The reason why Old Man Liu is respected may be because of these second generations, right?

Before returning to the United States, Zhou Shi came to Shenzhen again. Although Li Yinan arranged the main force of the Android company here, Zhou Shi, who had coveted him for a long time, still wanted to work hard. Energizer was collected for his own use, and Li Ying also followed.

"Are you confident that you will convince him to join the husk this time?" Li Ying

"No, but time is running out. If this opportunity to cooperate is lost, it may not be there. ”

"But he is so proud of a person......" Li Ying

Then let him know that people can't be arrogant, but they can't be arrogant! He is not mature yet! Only I have the opportunity to stand at the forefront of scientific and technological competition and compete with opponents all over the world. "Zhou Shi

"That's not necessarily, if it weren't for you, he would have returned to Huawei as a vice president a long time ago!" Li Ying

"Hehe~~" Zhou Shi looked at Li Ying playfully.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"I laugh at you for being too naïve, it's hard to reunite after breaking the mirror, this is something that fools know. Do you think that Li Yinan saw his former subordinate climb on top of him, and then he was going to ask his former younger brother, in such a working environment, with his personality, what do you think will be the consequences?"

"He! If that's the case, he's so pitiful!"

"Maybe, maybe he feels uncomfortable, I won't be like this" Zhou Shi

"Why?" said Li Ying

"This is caused by a person's personality and pattern, if it were me, even if you climbed on my head, I would not be dissatisfied, but more happy for you. "Zhou Shi

"Oh, yes, climb on top of you," Li Ying said, her face flushing all at once.
