"According to the current level of development of Chinese baby, the price raised last time is indeed a little lower. In this way, the purchase price is increased to one billion, and our company is already very sincere, and I hope you can reconsider. Cheng Yangjin said.
"Do you think I don't have much money?" Hang Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "When I talk to people, I hate that the other party guesses my thoughts, and they make decisions for me when it's over." The company's working capital reaches 600 million, and the technology and fixed assets are worth 400 million.
Cheng Yangjin said in his heart, isn't this just a lack of money, and smiled lightly: "As far as I know, you don't have many fixed assets, except for these computers and servers, there is only one construction site under construction." As for the related technology of Chinese baby, it is not worth much to us, and Taobao is far better than you in this regard. ā
Hang Yu took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said: "You have found out very clearly, the company's fixed assets are indeed not much, and the technology is not as good as yours." If I had to measure my resolve by a price, I would like to increase your price base fivefold. ā
"Five billion!" Cheng Yangjin's eyes widened slightly, and then he snorted and said, "With all due respect, five billion is more than enough to buy the entire Jiangyan company, and it is impossible for Alibaba to agree." You offer a sincere price, and I can go back and talk about it. ā
"With all due respect, this is already a very sincere price. Hang Yu said.
Hang Yu's appetite far exceeded his expectations, and it was beyond the scope of Alibaba's acceptance.
Cheng Yangjin's little smile also disappeared, and he thought about how to continue talking.
The reason why Hang Yu proposed an almost unreasonable price was mainly because he wanted the other party to retreat, and he didn't expect the other party to agree. Without waiting for Cheng Yangjin to prepare the wording, Hang Yu said again: "I have already given you the answer, and you will have an explanation when you go back." ā
"It's hard to explain this, and if I go back with this answer, I'm afraid I'll have to drink the northwest wind tomorrow. Cheng Yangjin said.
"If you want a satisfactory explanation, I can't do anything. Hang Yu said.
Cheng Yangjin really doesn't understand Hang Yu, whether he has too much appetite, or he doesn't want to sell it at all.
After thinking about it, Cheng Yangjin finally got up and said: "Since Hang Dong is unwilling, it is inconvenient for me to be reluctant, so let's talk about it here today." He saw that Hang Yu had the intention of sending off guests, and it was not interesting to continue to stay.
"Walk slowly. Hang Yu got up and said.
After Cheng Yangjin left, Yang was quite worried: "What did he say just now that a wave came over and destroyed him, and he rejected the other party like this, will Taobao do anything to us?" Cheng Yangjin's words were a bit threatening, nothing more than what Yang would think.
"For a company as big as Alibaba, we can be suppressed by head-to-head competition, and there is no need to go through illegal procedures, I don't think Lao Ma will be so stupid. As Cheng Yangjin said, acquisition is not their only option, and I guess Taobao will soon have a global purchase service. Hang Yu said.
In the previous life, Taobao introduced global purchase in 2007, and in this life, because of the Chinese baby, Taobao paid attention to the huge market of purchasing agents in advance, and naturally will not let go, and it is inevitable to introduce global purchase in advance.
"Taobao is so powerful, they are here to grab business, can we still maintain our advantage?" Yang was still worried.
"It's hard to say, for now, we have a great advantage, but with the development of the Internet, a larger daigou market will emerge, and Taobao Global Shopping will definitely become a strong competitor for us in the future. Hang Yu said.
The lack of strong competitors is an important reason why Chinese babies can develop so smoothly.
Now that a strong opponent is finally about to appear, Hang Yu is also quite nervous.
"Hey, it's already very good to be able to do this step today, as long as Taobao doesn't come to Yin, even if the development is slower in the future and we can't become an industry giant, we should be content. Yang sighed and restrained his desires.
"Don't throw in the towel so early, and don't forget that we still have a card. Hang Yu said.
Yang was slightly stunned, and then understood what Hang Yu meant, but her expression was still unclear.
"We still have time, and due to the limitations of Internet development, Taobao has not really explored the mainland e-commerce market. 30 million users are just scratching the surface, and they are far from being the real giants. Hang Yu said.
"Thirty million is less. Yang said.
"How many people are there in China?" Hang Yu asked.
The limitations of computer popularization and Internet development are also impossible for Taobao, Baidu, and Tencent to break.
China's current Internet market is just the tip of the iceberg, and dominating in the corner of the iceberg may not have the last laugh. Tencent has only more than 20 million users this year, and Weibo is not far behind, so it is not clear that Hang Yu has the opportunity to become an industry leader.
"Now that we know that Taobao is going to be involved, we can't relax, in addition to seizing the opportunity to develop, we must also strengthen ourselves. There is a specialization in the art industry, we want to make the purchasing service to the extreme, become the benchmark of the industry, I don't believe that Taobao will compete with us, the main force will be transferred to the purchasing. Hang Yu said.
"Yes, I see. Yang nodded, regaining his energy.
To tell the truth, compared with the growth of the number of mainland users, the strength of Jiangyan itself has grown too slowly. The lack of strength means that the service cannot be the best, and the current strength will definitely not be able to cope with the competition of Taobao in the future.
Hang Yu thought for a while and said: "There are too few foreign brands we cooperate with, and it is too slow to rely on Su Juemin to talk alone." Immediately recruit a more professional business team, and before the Spring Festival this year, I want to reach at least 1,000 cooperative brands. ā
There is no doubt that Taobao's acquisition has put a lot of pressure on Hang Yu, and he must accelerate his development and increase investment regardless of profits. The investment in personnel is still small, Hang Yu can no longer be stingy, he needs more and more comprehensive talents.
If you can't get the authorization of a foreign brand, you can't do business openly, which is a fatal weakness.
"Is it possible to have a thousand foreign brands?" Yang said to Su Juemin, it is very difficult to negotiate with foreign brands, and less than 50 have been negotiated so far.
"Set a goal, do it with all your might, and recruit more people for the business negotiation team, there is nothing that cannot be done. Hang Yu said.
"Okay, I'll do my best. Yang nodded heavily.
There was no need to have a meeting this time, Hang Yu decided to expand the business team by himself, because he knew in his heart that this was not the time to talk about the balance between investment and income, nor was it the time to talk about the reasonable structure of the company.
For a company that is developing at a high speed, it is unreasonable in itself, and it is doomed to lose a lot of opportunities if it is reasonable everywhere.
