Since Alibaba's Taobao was launched, the president of Vivendi in France, Adrian, has been paying attention to the e-commerce platform.

Prior to this, the French Ministry of Commerce had already talked to him and asked him to make sure that eBay China and Alibaba invested by Ma Wei collapsed.

Originally, in Adrian's eyes, this should be very easy. After all, the market value of eBay in the United States is hundreds of millions of dollars, while the market value of Alibaba in China is less than $30 million. The key is that he has rarely generated profits since the early days of his establishment. Not at all as much as ebay China earns!

But what Adrian didn't expect at all was that Alibaba, which was originally very easy to deal with, actually created Taobao with a sharp counterattack! And used free and other special forms to gradually snatch their eBay China's customer resources!

This Nima made Adrian, the president of Vivendi, very uneasy! If this trend continues, let alone destroy Alibaba, I am afraid that he will be dragged down by the other party......

Adrian immediately contacted John, the CEO of eBay China, to ask him what the situation was in China and whether he could handle it.

As soon as the phone was connected, John's voice sounded a little panicked, "Hey, Director Adrian, hello! I'm John, CEO of eBay China... Regarding Alibaba, as well as Taobao, we on eBay are thinking about countermeasures......"

I have to say that the reason for eBay's failure in China is that it is not adaptable. If the CEO is Chinese, it is difficult to compete with Alibaba, which Ma Wei invested.

But it's a pity that foreigners' business philosophy has no advantage in China at all, and they can't understand the attraction of free to Chinese people.

……

The EU wants to give Mavi a little color through eBay. But Ma Wei fought back directly through Taobao, which is definitely enough for eBay China to eat a good pot. Even let them have a bad year......

As Taobao becomes more and more mature, eBay's profitability in China is also decreasing. In just one month, the sellers and buyers on his platform have run nearly 20%. Nearly 40% of them are Taobao and eBay, both of which have created accounts.

However, after the actual operation, it is found that Taobao is obviously much easier to use than eBay! The key is that there is no handling fee, and the transaction is guaranteed.

……

"Mr. Ma Wei, let me tell you a good news! Our Taobao daily trading volume exceeded 1 million yuan yesterday! far ahead of eBay's 600,000 yuan!"

If it weren't for Ma Wei's timely help this time, I'm afraid that the current Alibaba would have been overwhelmed by eBay. After all, the gap is there......

"Well, that's congratulations, Boss Ma. "Mavi at this time, already in Russia. In two weeks' time, a major annual meeting of his company will be held in the seaside city of Sochi.

Sochi, located on the border between Krasnodar Krai of the Russian Federation and Georgia and on the Black Sea coast, is one of the most narrow cities in the world. It was also the host city of the 2014 Winter Olympics and has a Mediterranean-like climate that is like spring all year round. Similar to the domestic Hainan Sanya.

"By the way, Boss Ma, are you free in two weeks? I invite you to come to Sochi to attend the annual meeting of my Ma V Group. Ma Wei said on the phone invited. A few days ago, he integrated his companies to form a multinational group. In addition, it has recently entered winter in Moscow, and he needs to change to a warm place to stay.

"Okay, Mr. Ma Wei, I'm free, I'll definitely attend when the time comes!" Boss Ma said with a promise.

In his impression, the company's annual meeting is generally that everyone eats and drinks well, wins the lottery that should win, and pays the money. Then next year, everyone will work hard and strive to create better results for the company.

Ran Goose ...... Ma Wei's annual meeting of the company is not like that at all! To be precise, this is no longer the annual meeting of the company in the ordinary sense!

Two weeks later, Dang Ma, with his 18 Alibaba partners, took a plane to the Sochi field. Then, he was surprised to find that there were Russian policemen and Russian troops standing everywhere in the airport terminal......

"Mr. Ma, what's the situation here? I heard that some time ago, Ukraine, Russia, and the European Union had a very unpleasant quarrel, shouldn't there be any danger?" one of the partners, asked the worried boss of Tsushima.

Originally, everyone came to Russia happily to attend the annual meeting. But if such a thing happens, it will be a tragedy.

"It's an era of peace, what kind of war can we fight?" Boss Ma couldn't help but ask rhetorically after hearing this. Then he added, "Maybe some big man in Russia suddenly came to the airport, don't be surprised!"

Just as Boss Ma just said this. I saw a Russian army officer, wearing a major's uniform and fully armed with soldiers, walking towards Boss Ma and the others. Seeing a group of Alibaba executives, they didn't dare to move! For fear that the other party would have some misunderstanding, they would pull out their guns and face each other......

Seeing that the other party was menacing, a male partner who could speak Russian hurriedly stood up and explained, "That... We are tourists from China, not bad people. ”

However, before he could finish his words, he saw the army major who stepped forward solemnly, and suddenly stretched out his hand and saluted everyone!

"Excuse me, is Mr. Ma from China?" asked the army major, who was not fluent in English, to Boss Ma.

"Yes, are you?" Boss Ma was very surprised when he heard this, thinking to himself as the other party, how could he know him. He didn't remember making a major in the Russian Army, such a friend! Could it be ......?

As soon as he thought of this, Boss Ma suddenly had a hunch! The army major in front of him, as well as these Russian policemen and troops at the airport, could they all be arranged by Ma Wei!?

"I am Major Stepan, and Mr. Mavi asked me to receive you. The army major said to everyone seriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the eighteen Alibaba partners standing in front of him, and the expressions on their faces were even more exaggerated than when Ma Wei smashed 30 million US dollars! The whole person was stunned! To be precise, they were dumbfounded, and their mouths were so open that they could stuff eggs......

"What!?These are all arranged by Mr. Ma Wei?he, what is he?," said a male partner, who sighed in surprise.

"Lying in a big groove...... Compared with the last consulate convoy, the scale of this time is too awesome! What the hell?" said the other male partner, covering his mouth in disbelief.
