Chapter 239: Monopoly on global e-commerce
"Mr. Chen, 20% of Alibaba's shares, has been transferred to Tang Dynasty Venture Capital."
"Well, how much it spent."
"$100 million."
Liu Sichen really wanted to scold Sun Zhengyi, "It's so dark." ”
"Well, it's a bit high, but it's worth it."
It can't be helped, and you have to pay when it's time to pay. Who said that domestic investors had no vision in the past, and this fee was also deserved by SoftBank. Now if Chen Jiayi wants to obtain more equity in Alibaba, he can only start from SoftBank. Because, only in the case of SoftBank, he was willing to sell these stocks.
But then again. Tang Dynasty's investment of $100 million seems high, but for the future value of Alibaba, as of 2011, Alibaba's total value is more than $20 billion. The current 100 million is only a very small fraction. Therefore, now, although Tang Dynasty Company is a little distressed, it can only go down.
For the future of e-commerce, what is this money?
"I'll contact Jack Ma later, and I'll talk to him again."
After winning 20% of the shares, Chen Jiayi will have to meet with Ma Yun directly. This meeting was about Alibaba's refinancing. After all, Alibaba doesn't have much money now. If you want to make e-commerce bigger, you can only raise money again.
...... "Tang Dynasty Company paid $100 million to snatch 20% of Softbank's shares in Alibaba. ”
Such heavy news has just spread to the Internet, and it has already attracted countless discussions.
"Generous, generous ......"
Many netizens were amazed that Tang Dynasty Company was so bold. Dare to buy 20% of Alibaba's shares for $100 million. This is not much worse than SoftBank's investment in Yahoo back then. You must know that the current Alibaba is an Internet company that can only earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a month. This is much worse than countless online game companies.
Many people don't understand why Tang Dynasty Company just smashed that money into it all at once. For this reason, many people bluntly said, "Tang Dynasty Company has money and no place to spend it." "Some people even pointed out that you are stupid, the 20 million invested by SoftBank changed hands for 100 million at once, and it has increased 5 times in just two years, which is faster than robbing a bank, and only Tang Dynasty Company is willing to buy this share.
"I don't understand how the Tang Dynasty company is doing, maybe it is here that JJYY doesn't understand it. I don't want to ask, but how many of you understand business operations. I only know, though. It is the pride of China to snatch back the shares from my own hands. ”
Prior to this, SoftBank had made many moves in the domestic Internet industry. Whether it is NetEase or Xin/Lang, he has a figure. Now, the Tang Dynasty Company has finally kicked out SoftBank from Alibaba, and since then, Alibaba is completely a state-owned company and has nothing to do with it. Such a big Chinese face thing, for many ordinary people, is all jubilant.
No matter what netizens say, in short, Chen Jiayi's strategy is still ongoing.
Three days later, Chen Jiayi invited Ma Yun to the Qiushuiju Teahouse.
"What a ferocious technique."
This is the first sentence of Ma Yun and Chen Jiayi when they meet.
"It's just a means, what is fierce and not fierce."
It doesn't matter if it's fierce or gentle. As long as all means can achieve the goal, Chen Jiayi will choose to use it. Moreover, Chen Jiayi's purpose in doing this is also to let Ma Yun see the determination of Tang Dynasty Company. Of course, also for this negotiation.
"Anyway, Mr. Chen's trick is very effective."
Ma Yun picked up the fragrant tea on the table, took a sip, and then waited for Chen Jiayi to speak. At this time, he had already made up his mind when he came. This time to talk, you must slowly rotate with Chen Jia. Otherwise, the little chip in his hand would be able to withstand Chen Jiayi's momentum.
"I invited Mr. Ma to come this time, presumably Mr. Ma also knows what is going on, I wonder if Mr. Ma has a specific financing plan? Our Tang Dynasty company has always respected the founder of the company, and if there is any request, just mention it. ”
Seeing Ma Yun's unhurried appearance, Chen Jiayi didn't know that in this negotiation, I am afraid that Ma Yun will play Tai Chi with him. However, Chen Jiayi had already thought of such a situation. If he doesn't speak now, then Chen Jiayi will force him to say.
"We don't have much opinion on Alibaba, and Mr. Chen is afraid to throw out a big plan, so we can study it together."
"No problem."
Chen Jia kept saying yes, and then spoke directly, "Tang Dynasty Company is willing to take out 1 billion US dollars as the total capital for this financing." ”
This $1 billion is not Chen Jiayi's casual report. Yahoo once spent $1 billion to buy about 40% of Alibaba's shares. Until 2011, Alibaba Group's total market capitalization was estimated at $20 billion. In other words, Yahoo made a profit of about 10 billion.
However, Yahoo spent $1 billion in 2005, and now it's only 2002.
"$1 billion."
When he heard Chen Jiayi say $1 billion, even Ma Yun, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, was shocked.
"Yes, it's $1 billion."
This time, Chen Jiayi wanted to have a big game.
He no longer wants to be in the domestic market and keep making trouble. If Chen Jia thought of Alibaba and Taobao before, it was just to occupy the domestic e-commerce market, or to make some money. So, for the current Chen Jiayi, he doesn't want to make money so simply.
"Sky-high."
It's definitely sky-high, at least, in Ma Yun's eyes, although he values his Alibaba very much, but he also knows that how can Alibaba be worth 1 billion now? Of course, if you talk about potential, Jack Ma may be able to see it. However, potential and value cannot be equated. How many companies with great potential have collapsed because they have no financial support.
Especially for Internet companies, there are countless such examples. So, a lot of the time. Ma Yun has always maintained a cautious attitude to development, like repeated thin ice, afraid that one will not be good, and he will fall to the bottom of the lake.
"What about the conditions?"
The investment is so big that Jack Ma can't believe it. However, Ma Yun has been rolling in the business sea for so many years. He knows that it is impossible for the world to lose a free lunch.
"I need 50% of your stake."
This 50% naturally does not include the 20% stake that Chen Jiayi previously acquired from SoftBank.
"What if I don't agree?"
Although it is more than one billion dollars, the control of Alibaba has also been transferred to the hands of Tang Dynasty Company. In later generations, Yahoo and Jack Ma fought from time to time in order to seize control of Alibaba. Even, Ma Yun used unconventional means in later generations to regain control of Alibaba. From this point, it can also be seen that Ma Yun's control over Alibaba is very large.
"Don't be in a hurry to deny it so quickly, why don't you answer me a few questions first."
Chen Jia knew early on that Ma Yun would object, and it was related to the issue of control of the company, even if $1 billion was high, for Ma Yun, he would not agree. This is Jack Ma, who has refused dozens of corporate financings in later generations.
"Yes."
Although Ma Yun disagreed with Chen Jiayi's plan, he was also curious about Chen Jiayi's plan. He was eager to hear what Chen Jiayi could explain to him.
"Judging from the current development momentum of Alibaba, it may be able to become the world's first in the B2B model. However, the development of B2B, he is far from enough. The most important thing in the future of e-commerce must be C2C. I wonder if Alibaba can beat EABY and Amazon in the C2C market with its current development? ”
EABY and Amazon are both leaders in e-commerce, and both companies, their business has been done all over the world. Even in China, there is EABY. Until later generations, although Alibaba's Taobao has achieved the first place in Asia. However, compared to Amazon, it is still slightly inferior.
What's more, now domestic e-commerce has been described by many foreign funds. Like Excellence.com, Tiger Fund personnel have begun to get involved. If Alibaba wants to enter this market, without the support of large funds, I am afraid that it will not even be able to enter the country. Needless to say, it has been extended to the world market.
"It's hard."
"Yes, it's hard."
Chen Jia nodded and continued, "However, with financial support, I believe that Mr. Ma will be able to occupy the domestic C2C market." ”
"Thank you Mr. Chen for your compliment, I just have this idea, as for whether I can do it, I don't know yet."
"I was able to spend a huge amount of money to buy 20% of the shares from SoftBank, completely because of Mr. Ma's ability, and this Mr. Ma should not be too modest. What's more, if you can bring the B2B market to the point where it is today in 2 years, there is no one in the world who can compare with you......"
Chen Jiayi looked at Ma Yun and smiled slightly, which can be regarded as affirming Ma Yun's personal ability.
"This time, if the plan is only for domestic e-commerce, why should I bother so much. If we want to do it in the Tang Dynasty, we will do it as the biggest, and if we want to play, we will play the first in the world. ”
"No. 1 in the world?"
Ma Yun thought silently.
"Monopolizing the global e-commerce market is the purpose of my negotiations with Alibaba."
A voice that monopolizes the global e-commerce market finally made Ma Yun's heart move.
How bold should this sentence be. Even Ma Yun, who has operated Alibaba to the present, does not dare to say that he monopolizes the global e-commerce market. However, Chen Jiayi actually spoke directly. It seems, some are arrogant, and some are even more ignorant. However, this monopoly strategy is extremely attractive to Jack Ma.
"I don't know, Mr. Ma has this idea."
