Chapter 145 - Investing in Horse Transport

"What's the biggest shopping site in the world?" Ma Yun asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

“EBAY”

"Quite right, but I'm sure he doesn't have to be number one all the time. The first will be born from Yanguo, we have a huge consumption volume, and the Internet is starting in our country, and the Internet of Yanguo will definitely be at the forefront of the world in the future. ”

"And then?" Alibaba, which was founded in Hangzhou last year, has raised $5 million in investment, and received another $20 million in investment earlier this year, and a few months ago held the first West Lake Debate held by Alibaba Group in Hangzhou, bringing together business and opinion leaders in the Internet industry to discuss important issues in the industry.

Now Alibaba Group is already hot. However, Alibaba used to only do online wholesale, and now Mayun wants to engage in online shopping, I believe that no one is optimistic, I believe this is the reason why Internet companies are reluctant to invest in Mayun online shopping.

In the country of Yan, there is only the first, not the second. As long as Shanghai's eBay does not fail, it will be difficult for Internet companies to shop online with the exception of Alibaba Wholesale.

Ma Yun continued: "Then I was going to set up an online shopping website that would specialize in retail. The first name that comes to my mind is Taobao, Taobao is all the treasures in the world. When I was about to do something, I found out that the domain name had already been registered by Mr. Li, so I thought Mr. Li must be very interested in this project, so I came to visit Mr. Li in Rongcheng, how about a strong combination? ”

That's right, Li Hui is preparing to do Taobao project, and is already calling Huang Weizhong to develop, but now the website has not yet taken shape, Li Hui has already conceived, once the website is launched, he will cooperate with Tengxin to spread out online shopping, so that he can quickly occupy the market.

The most important thing is that Tengxin can not engage in its own platform, when Ma Teng relied on Tengxin's user resources to make a paipai network, and finally the user experience was not ideal and sold to JD.com, this is Tengxin's only failure, if, if the housing network is made, he can use the shares in Tengxin to avoid competition in the same industry, Tengxin can also concentrate on investing in other things.

Of course, ideas are ideas. The last Ma Yun established Taobao in 2004, and now it is only 2000, Ma Yun actually advanced the plan, which made Li Hui very passive, relying on Alibaba as the backing, Li Hui believes that it is a matter of time before Ma Yun does a good job in online shopping.

Online shopping websites need a huge architecture, as well as the support of the background, and need a lot of capital investment, the current housing network account of more than 10 million, it is estimated that it is not enough to burn.

"Mr. Ma, what is your plan?" Li Hui asked.

"Alibaba and Fangfang.com have cooperated to do Taobao.com, and of course Mr. Li can also invest privately. Mr. Li can use Taobao's domain name and a certain amount of cash to invest in the shares, and once Taobao is rolled out, we can use the advantages of Fangfang.com and Alibaba in the industry to finance Taobao. ”

Ma Yun opened the table on Li Hui's desk: the future of Internet shopping. It has been introduced in detail the operation of Ma Yun on Taobao in the future.

There is too much content, Li Hui thinks that there is no way to digest the plan of horse transportation in a short time, and Li Hui is now concerned about the issue of funding.

"How much do we contribute? How much do you have a share? Li Hui asked.

"At present, my plan is to invest 20 million in the first phase of Taobao, if Mr. Ma invests 10 million shares, he can account for 50% of the shares, of course, we must enable Taobao domain name, so I hope that Fangfang.com can transfer Taobao's domain name to Taobao established in the future, and as for the conditions, you can get 5% more shares." Ma Yun said.

Ma Yun's condition is still reasonable, the domain name plus cash can get 55% of the shares on his side, which is already an absolute controlling stake, of course, Ma Yun's style is to implement the partnership system, he will use a few shares to control the future of the company in the future, but this is not the key, Li Hui is concerned about his future and interests, holding 55% Even if countless venture capital is introduced later, he is still a single major shareholder, you must know that Taobao is the first in Yanguo in the future.

However, the problem to be solved now is the problem of funds, and the funds of the housing network are insufficient.

Okay, let's promise to come down first, Li Hui is unwilling to let the beaked duck fly away. The matter of funds is trying to figure out a way later, but it is really not possible to have a domain name in the real estate network, and it is also very objective to have 5% of the shares in the back.

"Mr. Ma, your method is very good, I agree. But please give me half a month to think about it, I want to read your proposal carefully. ”

Although half a month is a bit long, Li Hui knows that Ma Yun will not refuse. If Ma Yun is not willing to wait for this half month, then it may take him several months to find a new partner. At the same time, Ma Yun should also think that the registration of Taobao domain name on Fangfang.com is to prepare for online shopping.

"Okay, Mr. Li, let's make a decision, and I'll wait for your good news in half a month."

Li Hui stood up and shook hands with Ma Yun: "Definitely, I will definitely contact you in half a month." ”

Li Hui talked and laughed and sent the horse out of the company's gate.

As soon as Li Hui returned to the office, QQ received Ma Teng's annual report forecast, which showed that Tengxin made a profit of 140 million yuan in 2000, of which QQ members and QQ Space members contributed a large amount of income, followed by QQ games. Of course, the statement is only a prediction, and the specific will have to wait for a few days for the Finance Department to calculate according to the standard accounting standards of the Harbour City, and Tengxin is currently preparing to sprint to the IPO, once the sprint to the Harbour City IPO is successful, Li Hui and Ma Teng will become billionaires.

"Hehe, the report is very good." Seeing the report sent by Ma Teng, Li Hui suddenly had an idea in his heart, since the funds of Fangfang.com are not sufficient now, then Fangfang.com will use Taobao's domain name to invest in 5% of the shares, and the remaining 10 million will be independently shared, of course, Li Hui does not have this money for the time being, but it can come from Tengxin.

In a few days is January, according to the regulations, Li Hui as a major shareholder can nominate dividends, then Li Hui can propose dividends in 2000 in 2001, as for the amount of dividends Li Hui does not require too much, 20 million is enough, 10 million is used to invest in Taobao, and the other 10 million is prepared first, if there are better projects in the future, the investment will be carried out, and the capital investment on the Phaeton side is too small, it is difficult to develop and grow, so more cash flow is definitely needed later.

"Lao Huang, you come to my office" Li Hui made a call to Huang Weizhong's extension, ready to ask Huang Weizhong to stop developing Taobao.
