Chapter 592: E-Commerce in China

After Henry and the chairman had dinner, they chatted in the study, and the two chatted for more than two hours before it ended. During the www.biquge.info of the Pen "Fun" Cabinet, Henry reached a strategic cooperation with China on behalf of the Williams Empire.
The Williams Empire recognized the "One China" internationally, while China recognized the political status of the Williams Empire and helped the Williams Empire join the United Nations, recommending the Williams Empire as the sixth permanent member. Considering the influence of the Williams Empire in Africa, the Chinese side also feels that with the current status of the Williams Empire, it can become a permanent member of the United Nations. Moreover, none of the African countries is a permanent member, and one African country should be one of the permanent members of the United Nations. After all considerations, the Chinese government agreed to Henry's request, but did not give a positive reply as to whether it would succeed. However, as long as Henry can support China, he will also look for support from other countries.
At present, there are five permanent members of the UN Security Council: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China.
Japan has cut its head and tried to become a permanent member, but it has been failing. The current Japanese Government does not respect history, distorts historical facts, and does not seriously reflect on the crimes of aggression it committed in Asia during World War II. A country like the Japanese Government, which is irresponsible to history, does not admit guilt, does not make amends, and does not face up to historical facts, is not eligible to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
As for how to be elected to the permanent membership of the United Nations, it must be voted on by the entire membership of the General Assembly and supported by two-thirds of the members to be successful. Many countries take China's horse as the saddle, and China supports the Williams Empire, so naturally there will be many countries that support the Williams Empire.
In addition to political cooperation, the two sides have strengthened trade transactions, cultural transactions, military exchanges, etc., and in order to facilitate exchanges, the two countries are visa-free for each other!
Over the next four or five days, Henry's side began to discuss some details with the Chinese side.
Henry didn't need to worry about all of these things, and he took time out to learn about his business in China.
Hengdian's business development is in full swing and has now become the largest film and television shooting base in China. IMDB Mall has built 145 IMDB Plazas in China, compared to 12 by its rival Wanda Group. I am afraid that the dream of becoming the richest man in ****** is far away, and the "small goal" of 100 million yuan is not small? Williams Hospital has blossomed all over China, becoming the most reliable hospital in China, with 1,332 hospitals, while Putian hospitals are struggling to survive, their development is very slow, and they are often blown up because of pitting patients, resulting in great damage to their image.
At this time, isearch had completely withdrawn from the Chinese market, and Baidu became the largest search engine company in China, almost monopolizing the entire Chinese search engine market. With 350 million Chinese users, IM instant messaging ICQ is unbreakable.
There are many new talents in e-commerce, such as Jingzhuo and Dangdang. China's market is huge, and e-commerce is not as sticky as search and social networking, and often differentiated competition can still fight a bloody way, and foreign capital is also keen to invest in Chinese Internet companies. At present, the competition of China's e-commerce is particularly fierce, constantly burning money, rushing sales and scale, and most e-commerce is making money at a loss.
In this life, because Nicholas International E-commerce Group entered the Chinese e-commerce market early, it is dominant. Taobao, which was established by Jack Ma, has been very miserable from the beginning, and SoftBank's huge investment in Taobao has not seen a return until now. However, SoftBank is also casting a net everywhere, and it is still one of the shareholders of Dangdang. Dangdang started selling books on the Internet, and there were hundreds of online bookstores at that time, and Dangdang finally stood out, and in 2000, it got the $8 million venture capital invested in Dangdang by IDG, SoftBank, etc.
"Your Majesty, Amazon once offered Dangdang a purchase price of $200 million, but the other party refused!" Nicholas International E-commerce CEO Geely Hurt was in China at this time, so Henry called him over to learn about the company. Nicholas International E-commerce also started with an online bookstore, so he was careful about Dangdang outside the grid and wanted to acquire it.
Henry didn't care too much about Dangdang.com, and said casually: "It's okay, if the acquisition is not successful, forget it." Henry changed his words and asked specifically, "What is the current situation of Taobao and JD.com?"
"Taobao currently has a 9% market share, second only to Nicholas International E-Commerce in China. And JD.com ......?"
Jingdong is not famous now,Liu Qiangdong only entered the field of e-commerce in 2004,Entrepreneurship experimental field,Originally named "Jingdong Multimedia Network",2005In November,Jingdong Multimedia Network daily order processing volume only exceeded 500,Such a little bit of data simply can't attract the attention of Geely Hurt,He thought about it for a long time,I didn't think what kind of company Jingdong isγ
Henry waved his hand and said, "Okay, send someone to pay attention to it later." If you can buy JD.com as a wholly-owned company, you can buy it directly, and if you can't, then suppress it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" said Gilli He, whose face was slightly embarrassed that he had not been able to answer Henry's question.
Henry pondered.
Jingdong has not yet formed a scale, and now if it wants to develop into Jingdong in the previous life, the difficulty has increased several times. The top priority is to solve the big problem of Taobao!
Ma Yun is a bit awesome, Taobao is in his hands, and Henry doesn't dare to take it lightly.
"Who are the shareholders of Taobao and how many shares do they hold?!" asked Henry in a deep voice.
"SoftBank is the largest shareholder of Taobao.com, holding 40% of the shares, Jack Ma and his team jointly hold 35% of the shares, and IDG Capital, Sequoia Capital, and DCM Capital hold 10%, 9%, and 6% of the shares respectively!" Gilligt shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to buy Taobao shares from SoftBank, I'm afraid it's not easy to ......."
"Go on, why it's not so easy!"
Ji Ji Hejie nodded and said: "In the Internet industry, doing e-commerce is the most expensive, Taobao has not much money left, and is preparing for the third round of financing, and SoftBank is going to lead the investment at this time, and it is expected to invest 100 million US dollars to develop Taobao! Through this financing, we can see SoftBank's determination to hold Taobao shares." Therefore, it is very difficult to buy Taobao shares from SoftBank. β
"Hmm...... So it is. β
Henry couldn't help but ponder, and after half a ring, he raised his head to look at Gillicht and said, "If SoftBank doesn't raise financing for Taobao again, then Taobao will face financing difficulties and broken capital chains.
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, then it's really very likely that we'll acquire Taobao!" After Gillicht finished speaking, he asked suspiciously, "But Your Majesty, SoftBank should not give up this lead investment!"
Henry snorted softly, "Softsilver is just a wild dog I raised, I fed it a bone at the beginning, and now it's time for it to pay it back!!"
