170 Fighters & Winners 2/5 (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
(I didn't close my eyes on the train for two days, I came back and fell asleep in the afternoon, and I had to be late, everyone waited for a long time, and I would fight for an outbreak at night, and there was a notice of a monthly pass to hurry up, a monthly pass!!! )
White Lake Bay.
In the living room on the second floor of the old Zhang family.
With Zhang Chen as the mainstay, after beckoning Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin to sit down, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little strict.
Although the windows on the opposite side have been opened, it is still a little depressing.
Although both sides have made clear the initial intention of cooperation before, whether it is Ma Yun himself or Zhang Chen, there is actually a fighting spirit from the bottom of their hearts, the spirit is not dead, and the fighters are not stopped.
When it comes to the topic of cooperation around Ali, both sides will not mix too much personal emotions into it, but think calmly, argue fiercely, and demand "bitterly".
Even if it is appreciated, it is only an attitude that comes from emotion and heart, and it will never use Ali as an emotional bond.
Naturally, this is also the reason why Tsai Chongxin valued Ali and favored Ma Yun, and it is also a crucial factor in Ali's success.
In Zhang Chen's view, the same is true.
Trust is relative to both sides, and natural appreciation is essential.
Financing Alibaba is undoubtedly the most important part of Zhang Chen's many investments in the future, even if he can get more superior investment opportunities in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to erase the flash of this investment in Alibaba.
Of course, for Jack Ma, the father of Ali who founded Ali, although he is very optimistic about Ali's future, he is also very clear. The current Ali is not a huge business empire, and he Ma Yun is not the king sitting on the golden throne of the Ali Kingdom. It's just an entrepreneur who struggled to move forward in the early days of his business.
There are thousands of entrepreneurs like him across the country. But he is more confident than anyone else, as long as there is a good opportunity, the day when Ali will turn into a butterfly will come sooner or later.
Therefore, from his point of view, financing is an inevitable choice for Alibaba, and only with financing, Ali can achieve the greatest value amplification and expansion in the shortest possible time. However, choose who to finance with, or rather. Choosing who to settle in Ali is a difficult question to choose.
Of course, Ma Yun is not the kind of person who forgets his righteousness, on the contrary, he attaches great importance to the "righteousness of the rivers and lakes", although Zhang Chen's funds appeared abruptly, but they were used, when Cai Chongxin returned to China with top international financial investment, he was not even moved, but chose to wait for the information of the mysterious investor.
Zhang Chen was lucky.
Because between the international giants and him. Ma Yun obviously chose the latter, and it can be said that this time Zhang Chen changed Ali's history.
In fact, Zhang Chen, who is a mystery investor. When he first appeared in front of Ma Yun, the disappointment in his heart far exceeded expectations, and of course he was able to become the head of the Ali Empire later. He is definitely not superficial, and he will not judge people simply by their appearance.
When it comes to judging people by their appearance. I'm afraid few people will think that Ma Yun's appearance is very attractive.
So, in this interview.
Zhang Chen won the opportunity. Opportunities to invest and opportunities in life.
Naturally, Jack Ma has also won value.
With extraordinary vision, he won the value hidden in Zhang Chen's mind.
"Zhang Chen, what do you do to ensure that Ali will not fall into the predicament of shortage of funds in the future?"
Ma Yun is a pragmatic person, compared with ordinary entrepreneurs, his charm lies in promoting his own ideas, getting the best ideas, and making the best solutions.
Similarly, before finally choosing Zhang Chen, he was also very cautious, even a little harsh.
He himself knows very well that Ali's development will never be a short-term problem, and the funds required will definitely not be solved by just five million US dollars, which Zhang Chen actually knew in his heart when he heard Ma Yun's words.
Because if he hadn't intervened in the bar, according to the trend of history, Ma Yun would have obtained a second financing in a very short period of time, and this time the amount far exceeded the first five million.
Later, the amount of financing will gradually increase.
Zhang Chen has reason to believe that if it weren't for this financing, I'm afraid Ali's development would not have been so rapid at all, and Ma Yun wants to create an amazing e-commerce empire, I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns.
But now, Zhang Chen is also confident that Ali will make even more shocking achievements.
"I have an industry worth two billion yuan in my hands!"
"I'm only fifteen."
Ma Yun nodded.
yes, what reason could there be more so than these two sharp contrasts?
No.
Fifteen-year-olds are a lot.
There are not a few people who own hundreds of millions of family assets.
But at the age of fifteen, he can have hundreds of millions of family assets, or he created it by himself, but it is rare.
What Zhang Chen said is not an exaggeration, this number is not confidential, it can be checked, and even Zhang Chen can provide sufficient evidence.
But for Ma Yun and Tsai Chongxin, the teenager in front of them, the houses under their feet, and the ever-changing Baihe Special Economic Zone outside the window are the best guarantees.
Looking at the building not far away, a smile appeared on the corner of Ma Yun's mouth.
In the end, Zhang Chen signed the agreement reached by the two sides without even discussing it.
The content of the cooperation agreement is not much, as Ali's chief financial officer and lawyer, Cai Chongxin set strict conditions for Ali and Zhang Chen's personal cooperation, originally he thought that Zhang Chen would strongly oppose it, after all, as a young and ambitious genius, such conditions are actually difficult to agree, but obviously, he guessed wrong.
Zhang Chen not only did not make any non-cent requests, but also did not even make more requirements for shares, according to the agreement between Zhang Chen and Alibaba.
The investment process will be divided into three fixed tranches and two projected tranches, with the first tranche raising up to $5 million, another tranche of $20 million over two years, and the third tranche raising of $100 million.
As for the latter two times, an appropriate amount of financing will be carried out according to the development of Alibaba, and it stands to reason that in such a huge investment plan, Zhang Chen, as an investor, or the only financing institution, can at least get more than 40% of the shares.
According to the original trend, SoftBank's Son Masayoshi finally got more than 30 percent of the shares, but the investment paid was far less than the investment plan made by Zhang Chen, according to later statistics, SoftBank used an investment of 260 million yuan to obtain more than 30 percent of Alibaba's shares.
But Zhang Chen knew that it was Ma Yun who could really decide Ali's direction instead of himself, so while he gave up his management rights, according to the provisions of the contract, the shares he would get in Ali had only just reached 30%.
It's not that Zhang Chen doesn't want to do his best to get more shares, on the premise that he knows that Ali will inevitably become an e-commerce giant in the future, he would be crazy if he doesn't want to, but it is precisely because he knows Ali's results that he will be like this.
Why?
Zhang Chen is in the name of his person, not in the name of Baihuwan Group, who owns Ali's shares, not to mention Ma Yun, that is, Ali's internal shareholders in the future, I am afraid that there will be disagreements.
Perhaps the only thing that benefits Zhang Chen is the provision to ensure that the shares are never diluted, and of course, this is also the only requirement for Zhang Chen.
Contracting.
Whether it was Ma Yun or Zhang Chen, they all breathed a deep sigh of relief in their hearts.
As part of the investment, the 30-storey commercial building under construction in Yuebanwan will soon become the new group headquarters of Alibaba Group after completion.
Regarding the decision to relocate the group's headquarters to the waterfront of Baihu Bay, neither Ma Yun nor Tsai Chongxin objected.
Although the Internet has relatively high requirements for the network, it is simply that there is no shortage of network foundation in Baihe, and in Zhang Chen's planning, the future Yuebanwan will have the most comprehensive network equipment and will build the most modern network base in China.
Silicon Valley wasn't just born in the United States.
Financing Ali.
There was no flashing lights, no reporters chasing after them, and no news media rushing to report on them.
If it weren't for the agreement locked in a sealed safe by himself, Zhang Chen couldn't even imagine that he had dug into the corner of SoftBank.
Every qiē in Baihu Bay is changing, changing rapidly, let him be swept up, and it is difficult to make waves in his heart in the five years, precipitating too much noise and memories in his heart, everything has become natural and not so abrupt, as it should be.
Calm, peaceful, youthful and sophisticated and calm.
White Lake beach in the evening.
The high fence of the observation deck tightly envelops this piece of fine sand with its back against the wind, and the green green near the fence is unusually dazzling, and it stands out in the blood-red of the setting sun.
In today's pursuit of development, no one pays attention to the hidden vista behind this piece of sand, stepping on the sand, giggling laughter sometimes remembers that Zhang Chen is barefoot and pulls the little girl to play on the beach.
The blue transparent and clear sky is cloudless, vast and calm, only rolling layers of thin waves. A touch of silver-white sand sea, dyed by the sunset, along the red curtain, on the other side of the water and sky, one after another high-rise buildings rise from the ground, spectacular, amazing, and even heart-warming.
He didn't know what would be built here.
However, it has a beautiful name.
It is a city.
It's called Moon Half Bend. (To be continued......)
