(.) Zhou Liwen and Lin Yaxuan understand the same, but deep down in his heart, he is not even ready to list Alipay, but just chooses Taobao and Ahri online e-commerce platforms to be listed. For this choice, he has his own selfishness, and at the same time, he also has considerations for future enterprise exhibitions.

Truth be told, these aspects are very different. Now Alipay, as an online banking platform, has become a climate, and it can even be said that it is relatively independent from the platforms that have actually separated from the network group. Even bundling in Zhou Liwen's smartphone, combined with the payment function of the WeChat software, its prospects are exceptionally bright.

Compared with Alipay, the e-commerce platform is a completely different scenario. Now, although in the process of fast development, in terms of users and scale, the original eBay has long passed. And with the situation of online e-commerce squeezing the traditional department store industry, in the next few years, this fast business will still be booming.

However, online e-commerce has a fatal shortcoming, that is, the amount of information is too large, the quality of products varies greatly, and the boundaries of the law against online e-commerce are blurred. Once there is any trouble, it will bring a big blow to this platform, and its anti-risk ability is far less powerful than Alipay, so in Zhou Liwen's subconscious, he even feels that it is appropriate to throw this business out and become a bait, and Alipay to keep his core is the best choice.

But this did not solve the problem, and according to the plan of Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs, they proposed to bundle the listing. Predators such as Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs are not fools, and they can certainly see that Alipay is more promising and valuable than online e-commerce platforms. If a part of it is divested and listed, will the other party accept it? Moreover, if this is done, the overall value will drop a lot, and the interests of shareholders will not be as good as a bundled listing.

After careful consideration, Zhou Liwen finally decided to give it a try. However, before convincing Fuguo and Goldman Sachs, he must appease the inside, especially for Liu Ting and Ma Qingyang, Zhou Liwen must consider their feelings, and only with their support can he have a showdown with those predators.

To this end, Zhou Liwen specially held a conference call, which was attended by the top management of the network group, including some managers with options

When Zhou Liwen told them in the conference call that the company was preparing to list the network group, it can be seen from the display screen that everyone was full of excitement and joy, and some people have even begun to secretly calculate how much their assets will reach after the network group goes public.

But when Zhou Liwen went on to say that he was going to officially separate Alipay from the entire group first, and not join the listing ranks, but just to list Taobao, Ahri and other online e-commerce platforms, many people suddenly showed surprises and disappointed expressions on their faces.

"Dong Chou, can I ask why? As you know, Alipay, as a substantial online banking institution, occupies a large proportion of the entire online group, and if it is separated from it, everyone's interests will be damaged, and it will also lead to an undervaluation of the listed market value. A vice president asked bluntly, his words basically represented everyone's thoughts, and many people, including Ma Qingyang, also showed inquiring expressions.

"You're right, that's why I'm thinking about it." Zhou Liwen knew that this problem could not be avoided, and he then elaborated his views, especially pointing out that Alipay, as an online banking platform, is different from the nature of online e-commerce, and although the bundling of several listings can increase the market value of the entire network group, it is not suitable for the development strategy in the long run. Moreover, due to some reasons, Alipay will be affected, and even set up meaningless obstacles for Alipay to be exhibited on other e-commerce platforms.

"In terms of interests, at the same time as the divestiture, the shares owned by each person, including the options, will be rearranged, and everything will be carried out in a rigorous and open audit, and if anyone has any objections to the distribution of the shares, including options, they can access the audit materials anytime and anywhere, or ask me directly."

This sentence reassured everyone a lot, and the people who could participate in this online conference call were the elite of the group, and no one was a fool. The concerns and questions raised by Zhou Liwen also exist. Since Zhou Liwen has taken into account the interests of shares, including options, the listing after the divestiture will not actually affect everyone. Of course, after the final listing, due to the divestiture of Alipay, the wealth they immediately obtained will be reduced a lot, but at least some of it is still on Alipay's side, but it is not immediately cashed out.

"So Dong Chou, will Alipay be listed separately after the online e-commerce platform?" Another vice president couldn't help but ask, the network group company used to be a merger of three companies, that is, Ahri and Taobao merged, and then added Alipay, which was originally in charge of Liu Ting. And this vice president is Liu Ting's old subordinate, who has been in the Alipay project before, and after the establishment of the network group, his substantive interests are more in Alipay, so if he is stripped and listed, then he personally suffers the most.

Zhou Liwen also didn't do tai chi, and replied bluntly: "It will not be listed in the near future, and this is a decision made considering the issue of the two being listed separately." And as you know, the financial market has not fully recovered yet, and if the two are listed next to each other, it will be detrimental to the entire financial market. What's more, from the perspective of securities institutions, this is not allowed. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Liwen glanced at the vice president: "Of course, if someone has no confidence in Alipay, as the chairman, I can replace it according to the share structure of each person, including the option ratio, after the audit is completed, that is, you can exchange Alipay's shares for the shares of the network group after the divestment." ”

When Zhou Liwen finished saying this, everyone's demeanor was obviously relaxed, which is equivalent to Zhou Liwen cashing in to everyone in advance, if this is the case, then everyone's interests will basically not be damaged. As for whether Zhou Liwen can do this, everyone has no doubts, you must know that Zhou Liwen has the largest proportion of shares in the entire network group, and it can even be said that the total number of large shares of all the people present, including the proportion of options, is less than one-tenth of Zhou Liwen's.

"I have no problem, and I am not ready to make any replacements, no matter whether Alipay will be listed in the future, I will continue to hold it." At this time, Liu Ting, who had not spoken, spoke, and she smiled and nodded to Zhou Liwen to show her supportive attitude.

Everyone knows the relationship between Liu Ting and Zhou Liwen, and it is natural for her to support Zhou Liwen at this time, everyone is not surprised, but the next person's words made some people stunned, because none of them expected that the second one would support Zhou Liwen's decision as much as Liu Ting, and also clearly answered that he was not ready to replace Alipay's shares It was actually the founder of Ahri, and now the actual manager of the network group, Ma Qingyang, who is known as one of the two giants with Liu Ting within the group.
