It's snowing, it's snowing, and the sky and the earth are vast.

The lean, strange-looking Ma Yun was wrapped in a coat and walked hurriedly in a white manor, feeling as bad as the weather.

In the past few years, the old rival Gu Zhenyun has used Sohu's media discourse to attack Ali as a distribution center for counterfeit and shoddy products, and the little bastard Gui Ming has used NetEase to fan the flames and say that Ali is a fraudulent company.

Relying on his incorruptible tongue, Ma Yun recruited Cai Congxin, a former executive of Goldman Sachs, to his banner, and the company embarked on formalization, and he was ready to introduce a major shareholder like Yahoo with his interpersonal relationships and strength, but Li Jiaming had the ability to turn Yahoo into Yang Zhiyuan. At that time, it seemed that the bastard's reason was very good and he was helping himself elevate his identity: o is a partnership, he, himself, and Yang Zhiyuan are friends and brothers, and it is appropriate to let Tesco and Yang Zhiyuan invest in Ali.

But I never expected that it was a trap that could kill myself at a critical moment. Lao Cai has been planning with himself for a long time, wanting to launch a partnership system and control the company in the hands of the core team through voting rights. But instead of understanding, they also hinted that they might transfer all their shares to Sohu Tesco to promote the merger of the two parties to tide over the difficulties and force them to abandon the partnership system.

Well, they usually don't care about anything, and the directors sent are basically just decorations in addition to supervising finances, and if they don't do it, they won't do it. Finally, the China Banking Regulatory Commission and the central bank agreed to release third-party payment tools, and that bastard actually made a threshold that Ali couldn't enter through behind-the-scenes transactions.

What's even more infuriating is that the partnership system doesn't work in Ali, that bastard actually took the initiative to agree to Gu Zhenyun in Sohu Tesco, and persuaded Zhang Fox and Sun Weigang to agree.

Reason?

The bastard actually said, 'Old Ma, Lao Gu is a gentleman.' ’

What do you mean? Doesn't it mean that Lao Tzu is too selfish and engages in a partnership system to play with his heart? , can you blame yourself then? He and Yang Zhiyuan didn't care about things at all, didn't they notify them as soon as the plan came out? Could it be that the plan to give them up to 25% of the voting rights is fake?

What to do?

Sohu Tesco has agreed to use 'Alipay', if Ali does not follow up, the other party will easily catch up, and in turn press Ali to fight!

Agree?

Even the payment tools are owned by others, and they must not be controlled by others in the future? , sohu Tesco, Lifang, Hanhua, these are all wearing a pair of pants, known as the Sohu system! As long as Li Jiaming is still the vice chairman of Sohu, it is impossible to card Sohu's neck!

Hey, it doesn't seem right, isn't he Ali's number one shareholder?

"Ashin, I don't have enough brains, think about it for me, what kind of medicine is sold in that bastard's gourd?"

Wearing gold-rimmed glasses and revealing an elegant air of elegance, Tsai Congxin is a Taiwanese and a doctor of law from Yale University, and he guessed a little bit of Li Jiaming's thoughts. In addition to the huge profits, perhaps people also want to use 'Alipay' as a breakthrough to form a financial company to conglomerate the Sohu and Lifang enterprises.

"Ma Dong, among the shareholders of Lifang is Dasheng Bank, that bank is Hong Kong Capital Bank, I heard that it was contacted by Xu Jinzhe of the Xu family."

"Xu Jinzhe?"

"Yes, the Xu family is a famous family in Hong Kong, although Xu Yazhe is a concubine and is not valued in the family, he has a good relationship with Ma Qingwei, chairman of Dasheng Bank, and he is also a graduate of Stanford Graduate School of Business."

, ****** ambitious!

No, it's called ambition. Cai Congxin, who walked to the side of the car, slapped the snowflakes on his coat a few times, got into the black Chevrolet car that was temporarily rented, and said worriedly: "Ma Dong, the third-party payment tool is just an introduction, and sooner or later it will be opened to other companies, what I am worried about is that 'Alipay' will become a 'Octopus'-like product, and eventually replace credit cards and bank cards." At that time, even if we launch a third-party payment tool, it will be abandoned by netizens because it is not as applicable to the other party. ”

"No way, domestic finance is regulated."

Control? Thirty years ago, individuals were not allowed to do business in the mainland!

"It's the same", thinking of the Hong Kong people's 'Octopus', Ma Yun's scalp in the passenger seat was numb. If GCA can make 'Alipay' a safe and convenient payment method, it is really possible to apply it in other fields." The Internet is a winner-takes-all industry, allowing them to take the lead, and latecomers can't catch up.

"Is there any way not to? We have to have our own third-party payment tools! ”

"It's difficult", Cai Congxin thought for a while, but still shook his head.

Everyone knows how the Liberian side got the approval, but they are legal in the legal process. Although the regulations that have just been introduced are harsh, they have a big hat of financial security that can barely stand up in public opinion. The key is that the economy of the mainland has taken off, and the national self-esteem has also been high, and even the rise of populism has begun, and it is almost impossible to let Ali and Sohu Tesco, who are dressed in the skin of joint ventures, gain the upper hand in public opinion.

If they can't take the initiative in public opinion, how can those in power compromise?

"We lost?"

It's not that he lost, but that the other party's vision is farther than everyone else, Cai Congxin parked the car on the private road outside the manor and suggested: "Ma Dong, I suggest cooperation." Zhang Zhaoyang is not a stupid person, if he can agree to Gu Zhenyun's proposal, Li Jiaming must have made a promise. I guess the Liberians have definitely allowed them to take a stake, and we can also refer to their conditions. ”

"Let me think again".

The elegant Cai Congxin was not in a hurry, parked the car there, and waited patiently for Ma Yun to make up his mind. The key to today's dispute between Li Jiaming and Lao Ma is that in addition to the third-party payment tool, they are also fighting for control of the company. Out of the maximization of interests, Li Jiaming, who has no intention of controlling Alibaba, may relinquish control of the company, but will not let the power lose its restraints, so he will seek to speak within Alibaba; And Lao Ma is a very controlling person, and he will not allow another person outside the company who can threaten him.

Alas, to put it mildly, Li Jiaming is indeed impeccable in his personal morality. In a word, a friend said that the investment of five million was invested, and he also generously sent a house and a car, which moved the old horse beyond reprieve, and declared several times in public: Ali's success is largely due to the Great Wall covenant of the year, and many business strategies are actually from Li Jiaming's hands, and he just put some of their common ideas into practice.

In fact, at the beginning, Lao Ma rallied people's hearts with 'righteousness', 'feelings', and 'ideals', and he really relied on Li Jiaming's 5 million and later additional 30 million US dollars. Now that the company has developed, those things have become a rope around the neck, which is really a moment and a moment.

Up to now, Lao Ma can't trust Li Jiaming's problem, but Li Jiaming, who is in full swing, can threaten Ali's internal stability: Li Jiaming, who has no shortage of supporters in Ali's core management, makes Lao Ma feel like a man at all times.

It's difficult, there is no other day, the prestige of the major shareholder is no less than that of the head, how can people feel at ease?

But Ali's strength is not as good as others, and this is an era of collaboration, and many things are mutually beneficial. Signing an agreement with Liberia may be subject to the possibility of being controlled by others, but it can immediately obtain opportunities for rapid development. As for the future of 'Alipay', it is not something that Ali can touch now, if it can be replaced with some shares and have a certain right to speak in the company, it is quite good.

"Ashin, what would you do if you were me?"

Cai Congxin, who was looking at the snow flying outside the window, shook his head and avoided the question. The two talked so much, in fact, they both avoided a question, the partnership system they wanted to engage in at the beginning did have a tacit understanding to exclude Li Jiaming and Yang Zhiyuan from the decision-making circle, but it can't be broken. China is not as good as Europe and the United States, it is a society where personal feelings can influence business rules, Li Jiaming pointed out that 'Lao Gu is a gentleman' makes them bear moral pressure, which is the fundamental reason why Lao Ma slammed the door.
