Chapter 126: The Opponent Is Not You

Yahoo didn't know that Zhou You had never regarded Ali as his opponent, and that Zhou You would never get involved in the C2C industry if he couldn't come up with a way to prevent fakes from running rampant, and he wouldn't be involved in the B2B industry within five years.

In the short term, Tmall's opponent is Gome and Suning, and in the long-term environment, Tmall's opponent is Walmart and Amazon, but it will not be Ali. Because the two companies targeted different groups at the beginning, B2C and C2C can also be said to be two different types of e-commerce.

As long as Ali does not develop towards B2C, Zhou You will not directly snipe their projects.

Since Tencent has built data centers in various places, Tencent has been transitioning from a game company, a copycat company, to an Internet service company. Tmall, on the other hand, will be built into a simple e-commerce company by Zhouyou, otherwise, Zhouyou would not have placed Alipay under the structure of Tencent, not under the structure of Tmall.

Tmall is just a platform company specially prepared by Zhou You as the foundation of his career.

Tmall is an e-commerce company based in China, but it will definitely go global in the future. Because an e-commerce company should have no borders, if Tmall wants to purchase globally and sell globally, it must give up a part of its profits.

To take the simplest example, if Tmall wants to enter the American market and does not let the Americans occupy a part of the interests in it, can it develop in the United States? Of course not.

Therefore, although Zhou You still occupies 47 percent of the shares, when these shares want to enter the US market, they must allocate a part to the US institutions, otherwise, they will not be able to get the access certificate at all.

What is the core of an e-commerce company? Many people have not seen it yet, but judging from the historical experience of traveling around the two knives, it should not only be a procurement and sales network, but also a cloud service.

However, this data can be collected through Alipay's payment channels. Wal-Mart has been one of the top three of the world's top 500 companies for many years, relying on their stores and sales network around the world. Zhou You really wants to build a shell, but surpasses their world's largest company, so it is beneficial for Tmall to take a stake in a shell company to attract strong supporters.

In other words, from the establishment of Tmall, Zhou You wanted to open management, and whether it was Alipay or cloud services, Zhou You never wanted to take it out. Unless it is for the sake of the market later, a small part of the interests may be sacrificed.

Under such a consensus, Zhou You and Brother Xiaoma are very clear that although Tengxun now has some pressure and needs to go public, the premise of listing is that some core assets must be stripped out first.

Tencent is already one of the largest Internet companies in the world and one of the most profitable. At present, the development of Tenson mainly relies on the virtual ecosystem of instant messaging and the two pillars of online games to make money.

Although Tengxun still can't get rid of the title of the king of copycats, no one can deny that Brother Xiao Ma has a talent for being a latecomer.

Whether it is instant messaging, or various small games, or email services, or game platforms, Tencent is not the first to do it, but each one, Tencent can do better than the pioneer. In terms of execution, Zhou You believes that there are not many leaders in the world who are as shy and low-key as Xiao Ma, including Jobs, who Zhou You has always admired.

Jobs' charisma is unmatched, but his personality is a big question. Bill Gates is more of a corporate activist than a technologist. Larry Ellison is a notorious bastard in the Internet industry, and only Amazon's Bezos is somewhat similar to Little Pony in personality and style of doing things.

Tencent has become the world's ninth most profitable Internet company, although there is still a big gap between the top few in terms of turnover, but this is still a joint-stock company.

Therefore, not only the leaders of Pengcheng, but also the world's investment institutions, are also very optimistic about Tencent's listing, Zhou You and Xiao Ma Ge arrived in the United States, which has been warmly welcomed by the media, and countless people believe that Tencent's listing will create a miracle belonging to Asia.

The first stop for the two of them was Los Angeles, but not for business, but for personal reasons. It has been more than two months since Zhou You's youngest son was born, and Zhou You was able to hug him again with his own hands.

Paris, a chick, is recovering very well, but she, like Gracia, will never learn to be a good mother, and even she has to compete with her son for favor.

Fortunately, the Hilton family has money, and just for this child, a team of six people was arranged to serve her, otherwise, Zhou You really didn't worry that she could take the child well.

With Paris, Zhou You embarked on this trip to the United States, from Silicon Valley to New York, from major investment banks to financial institutions, and met with representatives of countless institutions.

Among them, the most active are UBS's investment banks, Sequoia, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and of course, Temasek in Asia. However, in this round of competition, Temasek has no advantage, and the only thing they can rely on is the friendly relationship with Zhou You.

As a pre-IPO listing, Tencent does not lack financing for development at all, but lacks external support from partners in all aspects. UBS is a long-time cooperative private bank of Zhou You, and has made a big contribution to Zhou You's stake in Google and Apple.

As an antique of many technology companies in Silicon Valley, Sequoia can give Tencent great help in terms of patent barriers, technical collaboration, and company cooperation.

As for Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, not to mention, the two of them are representatives of investment banks in the United States, so in order to balance, Zhou You also has to bring them in.

A trip to the United States confirmed the introduction of these four investment institutions, and Temasek had to retreat from this competition. However, they are not at a loss, because Zhou You promised that the Alipay project would bring in their funds.

The reason why they were introduced was not for anything else, but for the Alipay project to go abroad and take root in Southeast Asia and the Wanwan region.

He did not participate in the rest of the negotiations, but returned to the mainland. Tmall is too busy now, and Zhou You, as the largest shareholder, must also do his part.

The negotiation of suppliers, the settlement of funds, the construction of warehousing, and the enrichment of logistics all need to be improved by Liu Qiaodong. Liu Qidong has been in pain and happy during this time, and he has not tasted a good night's sleep for several months. Although he has become a billionaire now, he has no time to spend money.

On December 10th, Tmall was open for a month, and in this month, Tmall's sales reached 129 billion, with an average of 4 billion per day.

If only this month's data is used to count, Tmall's turnover has directly entered the top five in the country, only second only to PetroChina and PetroChina, and similar to ICBC and Mobile.

However, this is only the beginning, and no one knows how far Tmall can go after it is sound in all aspects. Because a company can directly face the national market sales, this is really too incomprehensible. When the national consumption consciousness shifts to online shopping, this number will definitely continue to expand.

Although it has only been in business for a month, Tmall has attracted special attention from relevant departments, mainly because Tmall has too much money in its hands.

Yes, Tmall is too rich. According to the supplementary agreement between Tmall and the supplier, at the end of the month, Tmall still has the supplier's one-week payment plus 30% of the previous three weeks. How much is that? Nearly 58 billion.

With so much money, I don't know how many people's eyes are staring, because if you travel around and run away, it will have a huge social impact.

Of course, this is impossible, because it is impossible for Zhou You to run away with the money for the sake of it. Besides, the money is in various banks, even if it is traveling, it needs to be used under supervision.

Among them, CCB accounts for the majority, which is mainly because CCB has taken a step faster than other banks in the cooperation with Zhouyou, and has used CCB's card to offer more discounts, which has also caused consumers to be willing to use CCB's card to operate funds.

When Zhou You returned from the United States, he immediately received a call from the top that someone wanted to see him.

This is the first time Zhou You has received a call from the center, and in addition to public social occasions, it is also the first time he has been received by the center.

Paris was a little dissatisfied with Zhou You's busy just after he came back, and she finally waited for the two-person world with Zhou You, and now she was going to be disturbed again.

Zhou You attaches great importance to this meeting because it is related to his overall development plan in the mainland in the future.

He knew very well that he was probably noticed a long time ago, but his development speed was too fast and his age was too young, so it was not appropriate to have a too formal interview. Otherwise, I would have been met with when the project was carried out in Colombia.

The meeting was very harmonious, and although Zhou You had already emigrated, he considered himself to have his roots in this land. And after he developed it, he also acted as a bridge between East and West. Although he has also done a lot of excessive things, in general, the flaws are not hidden.

The encouraged Zhou You also duly expressed his loyalty, expounded his pride and pride as a Chinese, and was willing to continue to contribute to the development of the country.

This attitude is still very effective, and Zhou You is not an ordinary person now. Not to mention anything else, just the opening of Tmall, coupled with the fact that Tencent is preparing to go public in the United States, and Google is also going public, Zhouyou's assets have already made a big jump.

This year he is only the richest man in China, and next year he may become the richest man in Asia.

At the very least, he has never encountered anything smoky in the mainland, and no second generation who is not long-sighted dares to take advantage of it.

If he had the foundation he has now, he wouldn't have had to emigrate at all.
