Chapter 240: Forcibly Acquired the Largest E-Commerce Platform in the United States

Speaking of which, e-commerce doesn't make as much money as some other Internet companies. However, when he came to Tsinghua University to study a series of economic theories, especially macroeconomics, Chen Jiayi became more and more aware of what the impact of an e-commerce platform on the economy means. If he can monopolize the global e-commerce platform, Chen Jia will no longer be a pure Internet investor, but an economic giant. Even, some of Chen Jiayi's strategies in the future can change the direction of economic growth...... It's entirely possible.

As long as B2B, C2C, B2C, C2B are done to the extreme, this is entirely possible. Of course, e-commerce platforms can't fundamentally solve economic problems...... After all, he is only an economic tool, and he can only play the role of an accelerator.

But this is already precious.

Chen Jiayi doesn't want to monopolize it in China, because he is afraid of stifling the domestic Internet. But for the world, Chen Jia can't wait to monopolize, and if he doesn't monopolize, he will have a ghost. Only monopoly can achieve the expansion of capital. Only monopoly can achieve unlimited expansion of scale. Only a monopoly can achieve everything that can be imagined......" I have to say, your global monopoly strategy has moved me. However, I think that Tang Dynasty's planning can't do this, and it will be difficult for me to cooperate with Tang Dynasty. ”

Ma Yun was shocked by Chen Jiayi's pride and infinite passion welled up in his heart. But Ma Yun is Ma Yun after all, he is not one of those teenagers who is inspired, hot-headed, and follows you wholeheartedly. He looks at the hope ahead as well as the present. Without a viable solution, Jack Ma can only think that this strategy is too fake.

"With Alibaba on board, everything has become very simple."

Alibaba is a B2B e-commerce platform that has mastered a large portion of the enterprise market. Then, for the global surname expansion of the Tang Dynasty company, he can concentrate on developing C2C, or B2C. If Chen Jiayi leaves Alibaba alone, not only will he not be able to take advantage of Alibaba's advantages, but he will let international venture capital companies support Alibaba. It is extremely unwise to cultivate an opponent for yourself.

Moreover, in this way, Chen Jiayi's pace of entering the international market must be much slower. After all, it would be difficult to enter the world market without the support of many companies in B2B.

"However, this is simple, and he is a hard-fought confrontation."

Chen Jiayi went on to explain, "Whether it's eBay or Amazon, he has a global expansion strategy. It's just that what restricts their development is only financial support. We are the first and have a financial advantage, and this is where they are lacking. Moreover, when e-commerce has not yet formed a certain temperature, capital is the most important strategic weapon.

Second, the platform of our Tang Dynasty company, including Tang Dynasty Athletic and Tang Dynasty Guard, can be extended to all parts of the world, which is very conducive to the establishment of our e-commerce platform...... With funds and channels, even if it is a head-to-head confrontation with foreign forces, are you still afraid that you will not be able to win this e-commerce battle?

"Are you so optimistic about the development of e-commerce in the future?" This plan is too big, and I'm afraid that $1 billion will not be enough by then. Moreover, if it fails, then I am afraid that the investment in the early stage will be lost. Because, the Internet is a bottomless pit, and you can only succeed. If you fail, you'll have to keep throwing money into it again. If you don't vote, then gameoevr" I can answer unequivocally, yes. ”

"Why?"

"Because of e-commerce, he is the only Internet company that can influence the economy."

A Taobao, the transaction volume in 2008 was about 100 billion, 200 billion in 2009, and 400 billion in 2010. In the first half of 2011, Taobao's transaction volume was more than 300 billion yuan...... This data is still very conservative, and there is still a large market in the future. Because, at that time, the domestic e-commerce platform, still the same as now, did not fully develop the potential of the market.

It is such a potential market that will create the vigorous development of e-commerce.

Such a huge transaction amount is undoubtedly very important for the economy to promote. If you monopolize the world, I am afraid that the world's transaction volume will reach an unnatural figure, and even, this record, can exceed the GDP of countless countries.

Microsoft, on the other hand, has monopolized the world and has only expanded its scale to about $200 billion. Moreover, this more than 200 billion dollars is only good for Microsoft alone, and it is useless for the world economy. Even if e-commerce earns less than other Internet companies, Chen Jiayi has to break into this area.

This piece, as long as it is successful, can even become Chen Jiayi's soft power. When the time comes, Chen Jiayi will not have to rely on certain political groups at all, and he will be able to stand alone. And, if you have a monopoly on a global e-commerce platform, how can you not make money?

"You managed to convince me."

At this time, Ma Yun finally knew that Chen Jiayi's entry into e-commerce was the same as his thoughts, which was also the reason why Ma Yun agreed. Because, he saw Chen Jiayi's courage. If the nascent Alibaba refuses, it is definitely not an opponent of the Tang Dynasty Company. Even if he gives up his 20% stake, he will rush to the world market again.

Faced with a capital boss, Ma Yun has no other choice.

"OK, nice cooperation."

…… The next day, the market reported that Tang Dynasty Company acquired Alibaba for $1 billion. The big news of this day not only shook the Internet market, but also shook the domestic physical market. They never imagined that Internet companies would be able to operate like this. Could it be, Ali Baba, that he's the next Yahoo?

The answer, no one knows.

Even if Chen Jiayi gives a firm answer, I'm afraid others won't believe it. However, Alibaba did not respond, including Tang Dynasty ventures. Because, they are busy right now. There's a whole bunch of things waiting for them to do.

First of all, it was Alibaba's B2B platform that started to take action. This e-commerce platform, which has only developed the Asian market, has finally set its sights on the whole world. With this part of the funds in the town, Ma Yun began to make a move. It has successively set up branches in Europe and the United States, and set up Alibaba's B2B platform in various countries.

Because of the help of the Tang Dynasty Athletic Platform, this step is very simple and completed quickly.

However, the most important thing is not the B2B market. In order to seize the C2C market, Taobao went online at this time. In addition, in order to develop an e-commerce platform, Taobao Mall is free of charge. In addition, major domestic websites, including instant messaging, including all online, began a large-scale advertising bombardment.

"The era of e-commerce has arrived."

This is the voice of many media, and for this reason, many media have joined in to study the future of e-commerce. Suddenly, a word that is very unfamiliar to everyone, e-commerce appeared in the ears of thousands of households.

"What, you don't have to go out to buy clothes, you can just click on the computer, and the clothes will be delivered to your door?"

"What, you don't have to go out to eat, just just a little bit on the computer, and the food will be delivered to your door?"

What kind of era is this, even if you have never used e-commerce, hearing these rumors, there is a huge interest in e-commerce. These potential customers, maybe one day, he becomes an e-commerce customer, or a seller.

Under the vigorous promotion of Alibaba, the Taobao e-commerce platform, which has just been launched, has achieved great success.

Since it is easy to open a store, there is no charge. Many netizens are curious or really open a store. They picked up the mouse and opened their own stores in Taobao Mall. Moreover, some netizens have nothing to sell. I put a cup on it, and the next day, someone bought it...... This miracle happens from time to time all over the country.

Such a move also caught the "eBay" that entered the market first by surprise. However, the current eBay does not recognize the importance of free surnames at all. Moreover, eBay's current management also believes that Taobao's current model is completely impossible to make money, and he can only hold on to it for a year or two at most, and after a year or two, it will be over. As a result, their strategy has not changed, and they continue to implement the membership store opening system.

"You want."

This is the slogan of Taobao, as long as you want, you can find it on the Taobao platform. Moreover, with all the online, many friends who are online in Internet cafes can buy things that they couldn't buy before. What an exciting thing for them.

This is just the domestic e-commerce market, in order to break into the world, Alibaba in the United States the largest e-commerce platform "Amazon" after the unsuccessful cooperation, with 1 billion US dollars, Tang Dynasty company launched a hard surname acquisition war. ($1 billion acquisition of Alibaba, a large part of which is used to acquire other companies) and, in the United States, in conjunction with the "Quantum Fund" and the world's major private equity, launched a forced acquisition of "Amazon".

On the same day, the U.S. stock market, Amazon, and the U.S. stock market, the long and short sides fought a fierce battle in this war. Countless stocks were acquired by Quantum Fund, Private Scenes, and Chen Jiayi's previously hidden secret account.

A week later, Tang Dynasty Ventures and Alibaba announced that they had completed an equity transfer agreement with Quantum Fund and major private companies around the world. Tang Dynasty Venture Capital holds 51% of the shares, and a general meeting of shareholders is hereby convened to re-elect the directors.

Originally, if it was for a general non-listed company, it would be difficult for you to acquire him.

He doesn't want to sell, so it's useless for you to spend more money. However, Amazon landed on the NASDAQ market back in 1997. Until 2002, it can be said that Amazon's equity was very dispersed, with 40% of the equity concentrated in the hands of retail investors. The remaining 60% is concentrated in the world's major funds and private equity companies, and the last 30% is concentrated in Amazon's management.

This is not only Amazon, even Microsoft, Bill's equity is only about 30%.

Therefore, this forcible acquisition war can be started.

The Quantum Fund, with its current prestige, has secretly joined forces with major private scenes. Moreover, it also united with Warren Buffett's "Berkshire" fund company to have a crazy sniper war against Amazon. First, the major fund companies broke the news that all the major fund companies had withdrawn from Amazon, and then the news of Tang Dynasty's $1 billion acquisition of eBay broke out...... With so much bad news, Amazon opened the day and its stock price fell 12% instantly. Seeing this, countless retail investors have thrown out their stocks. And these stocks happened to be snatched away by the quantum fund and major private scenes. Amazon's management knew that there was a company that wanted to force a takeover of him. However, he did not have the funds to reclaim the shares.

Because, the funds raised by Amazon's management before have all been spent on acquiring a large number of small companies. Amazon, for example, has acquired Alexa, a company ranked by the world's website rankings. Although Amazon still has a 30% stake, it is worth several times more than the previous funds. However, shares are shares, he is not cash.

By the end of the day, Amazon's management knew that its company was about to change hands.
