Chapter 597: Russia

Ma Yun didn't say anything about "Ant Financial" to everyone, so as not to leak the news! After doing a good job of Alipay, the rest of the things will come naturally!

"Mr. Ma, how many shares does PayPal plan to invest in Alipay?"

"Three-quarters of the shares, or 75 percent, are held by the Taobao team at 25 percent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIn addition, Alipay will be independent from Taobao and set up independently, and PayPal will not interfere in the management of Alipay!!"

After thinking about it for a while, everyone felt that it was feasible! Although 75% of the shares were sold, Alipay could reach the sky in the Chinese market in one step, which is difficult to buy with no amount of money and time!

"Mr. Ma, I agree with PayPal to take a stake in Alipay!"

"Mr. Ma, I also agree!"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

At the meeting, it was passed by almost more than 80% of the votes.

Ma Yun cleared his throat and said loudly: "Okay, then we have decided to spin off Alipay, establish an Alipay company, and accept PayPal's shareholding requirements!"

After saying this, Ma Yun announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Seven days later, Alipay was officially established. PayPal company announced a cross-share swap for a 5% stake in Alipay for a 75% stake PayPal!

Gently I go, just as softly I came. And the entire Chinese e-commerce field and even the world have been sensational!

I wonder what is the purpose of PayPal's exit from the Chinese market?

However, Henry indirectly controls more than 90% of Alipay's shares through cross-shareholding of Taobao and PayPal!

Beijing, Prince Gong's Mansion.

Ma Huateng, who is the president of ICQ China, was called over by Henry.

Sandalwood was lit in the study, the aroma was intoxicating, and Henry said to Ma Huateng, who was sitting in front of him: "With the increasing popularity of smartphones, some software has suddenly ushered in a peak of development, such as Twitter and Facebook. Therefore, ICQ must innovate!"

Ma Huateng sat there respectfully and listened.

Henry picked up a document and handed it to him, and said: "This is my design, you go back and study it carefully, and then let the company develop it! The first is to establish a very 'Weibo', which is a media platform, which is similar to Twitter; the second is to establish a 'WeChat', which is a social platform, similar to Facebook! One focuses on media communication, the other focuses on social networking, and with the two major weapons of Weibo and WeChat, ICQ can be invincible!!

"In addition, mobile games are becoming more and more important and must be taken seriously!"

Ma Huateng nodded and replied: "Understood, Your Majesty Williams, please rest assured!"

"Yes, that's good!"

After meeting Ma Huateng, Henry was about to leave for Russia. I heard that there are many beautiful women in Russia, and they have great figures. On January 5, 2006, Henry left Beijing for Moscow.

Putin, along with a number of high-ranking Russian officials, is already waiting at the airport.

After getting off the plane, Henry took a closer look at Putin for the first time.

Not tall, bald, Henry's heart suddenly had a sense of superiority, among the national leaders he saw, only he was tall, handsome, the youngest!

After a brief exchange of pleasantries at the airport, the two sides got into a special car and headed for the Kremlin.

The Moscow Kremlin is a symbol of the Russian state, one of the largest architectural complexes in the world, a treasure trove of historical treasures, cultural and artistic monuments, and enjoys the reputation of "the eighth wonder of the world".

Henry was here for the first time, and was slightly shocked by the architecture. The palace has Vladimir Hall, St. George Hall, Alexander Hall, St. Andrew's Hall, these halls are splendid, majestic, and show the imperial style, although it is not as good as Williams Royal Palace, but it is by no means inferior to Buckingham Palace in Britain. As for the White House in the United States, in terms of pure luxury, it is far inferior to the Kremlin!

This time, Russian newspapers, as well as the global media, reported on Henry's visit to Russia.

Henry's visit to China is not unusual, but his visit to Russia is a bit unpredictable, and it immediately attracted special attention from countries around the world.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union on December 25, 1991, Russia, the largest member country, officially became independent, inherited most of the Soviet Union's military strength, ranked second in the world in terms of comprehensive military strength, and had the world's largest nuclear arsenal. In the international system of "one superpower and many powers", Russia is a powerful country with great influence, and its military industrial strength is strong, especially in aerospace technology, which ranks among the top in the world. Russia is also one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and has a veto on Security Council bills. In addition to this, Russia is one of the five BRICS countries.

The Williams Empire went with Russia, and that would again be a powerful alliance combination.

The U.S. Congressional chamber is like a vegetable market, noisy!

"The Williams Empire has just formed an alliance with China, and now it is preparing to form an alliance with Russia, and it is clear that the Williams Empire is looking for more allies against our United States! ā€

"The Williams Empire is not to be feared, China and Russia are the greatest threat to the status of the United States! I believe that while curbing the development of the Williams Empire, we should also win it over! The reason why Henry Williams will visit China and Russia may be because what the United States did in Africa some time ago made the Williams Empire feel threatened, so it urgently needs to find allies abroad!"

"The Williams Empire is growing too fast, and if it is not contained, sooner or later it will surpass the United States!"

"No matter how fast the development is, Africa will still be Africa, and how can its poverty and backwardness be solved in a short period of time? I insist that China and Russia are the main threats to the United States, and whether the United States can continue to dominate the world in the next 20 years depends on whether it can suppress the development of China and Russia! In addition, India has a population of 1 billion and its development rate is not much slower than China's, so we should pay more attention to these countries than to the Williams Empire!"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

In the evening, **** held a grand dinner to entertain Henry and others, and introduced Henry to many well-known figures in Russian politics and business. Then I started to enjoy the Russian beauties dancing ballet, large-scale symphonies and other programs until 10 o'clock in the evening.

By the next day, Henry, in his capacity as King of the Williams Empire, officially conducted an exchange between the two countries with the Russian President ****.
