Tmall was founded on the personal fame of Zhou You, and then formed a large business circle, a success that cannot be replicated, or Ali would be eager to do it. But it has been a few months since Tmall was established, but none of the companies can follow suit, because they lack an important credit basis.

Without this credit basis, which company is willing to sell millions of goods, or even tens of millions of goods, for you to sell for nothing and then give money? Everyone is afraid that you will not pay if you sell it, and even more afraid that your company will collapse.

The only ones in the world that can compete with Tmall are established retailers such as Walmart, Carrefour, and Metro. Because they have perfect supplier channels and a complete logistics network.

But even Wal-Mart can't rashly adjust the company's development direction when the time is not ripe and enter an unfamiliar field to compete, because they are too huge, and if they move the direction slightly, they may lose control and overturn.

Zhou You didn't want to develop Tmall to the world, because such a company would only drag itself down in the end instead of developing its business to the world. Even in Southeast Asia, if it weren't for Temasek's active response, Zhou You would not want to develop, because there are too many territorial protections involved, and if it weren't for Singapore's status in ASEAN, Zhou You would not want to talk about one country at all.

What he really values is the Alipay project, because this project has developed to the whole world, there is no pressure, as long as the territory is seized, Alipay will definitely become a behemoth in the future.

In his previous life, Yibai spent $1.6 billion to acquire PayPal, but by the time of Zhou You's rebirth, PayPal had developed into a listed company with a market value higher than that of its parent company, with a market value of more than $40 billion.

And Alibaba's Alipay is even better, and before it was listed, it received $4.5 billion in financing and a valuation of $60 billion.

However, both companies are actually only regional companies, not international companies. Using Tmall's stake to bring in a partner like Walmart, and then pulling on Alipay's thief ship, and then pulling in relationships with the world's major banks, Alipay can become a truly international company.

When the development of mobile payment in the future, Alipay's status in the rivers and lakes can no longer be touched, and the development potential of this company can be said to be greater than any other company. Because other companies have more or less natural limitations when they reach a certain stage of development, but this financial services company does not.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, the only thing that needs to be dealt with is the governments of the world, because Alipay at that time may be plagued by anti-monopoly laws like Microsoft.

Although Robson has not yet realized this, it can also be known from Zhou You's resolute attitude that Zhou You does attach great importance to the Alipay project. He hesitated for a moment and said: "I agree in principle to the 20% shareholding ratio, if needed in the future, Wal-Mart is also willing to cooperate with the reduction, but I can't reply to this matter yet, I need to go back and study it before it can be determined." ”

Zhou You didn't care about this, because Wal-Mart didn't have any advantage in this project, and if it weren't for the fact that they had the largest number of retail customers in the world, Zhou You wouldn't even give them a 20 percent stake. But Alipay wants to go abroad, and Walmart's step is very important, so it can only attract them first. Of course, if they are not greedy enough, Zhou You doesn't mind not playing with them.

"I can accept this, then the next thing is about the cooperation between Tmall and Walmart in the retail industry, as well as the resolution to occupy the market around the world, which can be discussed in the detailed negotiations in the future, and I don't want to bother with these things."

Robson nodded and said: "In principle, we can accept this, but I hope that Wal-Mart can use this to launch a public opinion campaign in the coming days, and I hope Mr. Zhou can understand." ”

It is clear to Zhou that Walmart's stock has fallen by more than 20 percent recently, and they are definitely going to use this to boost the stock price. He didn't mind being taken advantage of, but Robson would certainly feel a little more comfortable saying it beforehand.

But Zhou You suddenly thought of a question and said: "I have no objection to Walmart using this to improve the confidence of shareholders, but I don't think that Tmall will have to pay for the increase in stock price." ”

At present, Wal-Mart's market value is only 150 billion yuan, and as long as the stock price recovers, it can reach another 200 billion US dollars, but this 50 billion US dollars absolutely cannot become the basis for Wal-Mart's negotiations.

Who knows, Robson said with a smile: "Tmall is not listed, and we are just changing shares, and the level of the stock price has little impact on our decision to exchange shares." ”

It wasn't until Zhou You broke up with Robson, when he slept in bed at night, that he was still thinking about this problem, and at this time, he suddenly realized that his mentality had long been grasped by Robson, and today's meeting, everything was in his expectations!

Zhou You was a little annoyed at this time, and he was still a little too tender compared to him. However, it is good that the two sides have a strong intention to cooperate, and there will not be too much resistance to negotiations.

He thought about it, dialed the phone number of the elder Volandor in Singapore, told him about today's events, and then asked the elder Volandor to organize a negotiation team to negotiate with Wal-Mart.

Volando Sr. asked, "What's your bottom line?" ”

Zhou You said with a smile: "What I'm looking forward to is one share for another, and it can't exceed the ratio of one and a half at most." In other words, Tmall can only give Walmart a maximum of 7.5% of the shares, and I can get up to a maximum of the shares of Walmart, if it is 5% for 5% of the shares, I will give you a big credit. ”

Old Volando smiled: "Although Tmall looks much smaller than Walmart now, our sales are not much lower than theirs, and they are more developing, so this negotiation is not very difficult." However, I need to confirm, is it you or Tmall that will replace Walmart's shares? Does the Walton family advantage want to pull you to become a shareholder, or to pull Tmall to become a shareholder? ”

Zhou You laughed and said: "Of course it's me and not Tmall, this point must be clear." ”

From Wal-Mart's point of view, it is certainly better to introduce a traveling company as a shareholder than to be a shareholder of a company with great influence, and from the perspective of deaf travel, Tmall is for making money and opening up the market, of course, the fewer high-quality assets, the better.

Early the next morning, the financial page of the Los Angeles Times reported on Zhou's meeting with Robson. Funnily enough, because Robson lived in seclusion and kept a low profile and never gave interviews, the paparazzi at the time didn't realize the importance of the photos he took, and just sold them to the Los Angeles Times for $200.

The Los Angeles Times is one of the three largest newspapers in the United States, and they quickly found out Robson's identity, and then made up an entire page of association topics based on it. The full of speculation is that Zhou You and Walmart may join forces to enter the United States.

I have to say, they really guessed right

Hiding in a studio at Universal Studios, no one knows where he is, but Robson, who has just returned to Bentonville from Los Angeles, is blocked by reporters.

In front of several reporters, Robson did not deny the Los Angeles Times' speculation, and highly praised Zhou's business vision, saying that the meeting with Zhouyou was historic.

None of these reporters were human beings, and they could easily understand what Robson meant. At that time, a reporter asked: "Does this mean that Wal-Mart is going to officially enter the field of e-commerce?" ”

Robson didn't answer directly, just asked reporters to pay attention to Walmart's website.

In the afternoon of the same day, a blockbuster news was published on the homepage of Wal-Mart's website, Wal-Mart will cooperate with Zhouyou, Tencent, and Tmall to jointly build Wal-Mart's e-commerce platform.

Originally, Wal-Mart's stock rose slightly when it was published in the Los Angeles Times, but it rose by 10 percent in two hours in the afternoon, and in these two hours, Wal-Mart's market value rose by more than $15 billion.

In the next few days, the rally did not cool down, and in less than a week, Walmart's stock price climbed back to a peak of 200 billion.

However, the rally is not over, because the negotiating team from the mainland has arrived in Bentonville, and this negotiating team is enthusiastic among American financial journalists, and everyone is full of expectations for the future of Walmart.

Because in the United States, Microsoft can't replace American companies, Apple can't replace American companies, ExxonMobil can't replace American companies, and it's Wal-Mart and McDonald's that really represent American companies.

Wal-Mart has more than one million employees in the United States, and if Wal-Mart catches a cold, the U.S. government will be infected, and if such a national enterprise and such an American company really collapse, it will definitely be much more serious than the problem of changing the president of the United States.

So, in recent times, the media throughout the United States has been promoting this.

Unfortunately, when the negotiators arrived in Bentonville, they were placed in a villa near their headquarters by Wal-Mart, and all the participants in the negotiations were protected by heavily armed guards, and no one could get any updates.

For this reason, Zhou You's whereabouts in the United States have also been closely followed by hundreds of reporters, and Zhou You can no longer stay in the United States. The negotiations have not yet yielded any results, and it is impossible for Zhou You to expose some inside information before Wal-Mart, so he can only hide for the time being.

Gracia whispered a plea in Colombia, and he couldn't hold back his travels and booked a ticket to Bogotá directly. In Singapore, Yan Fangqing also took four children and several nannies on a special plane to Bogotá.

Nearly a year has passed, and Zhou Yu has paid little attention to the development of Colombia, in fact, he can not play much role in this.

He can't manage the business or run the business, and Gracia is here to do a better job than he did in person. Here in the security company, Cai Ajiu and Bernard are doing very well, and they don't need him to interfere at all.

At present, the company has more than 3,000 security guards and more than 500 female bodyguards. Male bodyguards are mainly responsible for the security protection and logistics and transportation of domestic enterprises, and some of the security work of these multinational companies in Africa and other countries in South America have also flown out, and now more than 500 male bodyguards have been sent out.

And the female bodyguard has become a cash cow for the security company, the demand for female bodyguards around the world is relatively large, the life is easy, and the income is not low, the income is only 500 female bodyguards, and the company's net profit every month is not less than one million US dollars.

The guerrillas are also quite satisfied, they have a net income of almost two million per month, and these female bodyguards themselves can earn three thousand dollars a month, they are already satisfied, in China, they can't even earn five hundred dollars, and there is a crisis of becoming ***.

Zhou traveled to Colombia and went around the sites of various companies, but he is also a major shareholder with 20% of the shares.

During this period of time, the happiest are Batistuta and Zhou Minghong, although they have learned to fly a plane, they have never had the opportunity to practice, and now the opportunity has come.

The Bell 230 plane that Paris gave to Zhou You was transported to Colombia, and the two of them wiped it clean every day, and they cared more about Zhou You.

And Long Long is also very happy, as long as it is not a long-distance flight, he will be pestered to travel with Zhou and enjoy the fun of riding a helicopter. This Bell 230 is a twin engine, the safety factor is still relatively high, as long as you pay careful attention to the airflow, nothing will happen.

However, in the past few days, Gracia has had an awkward relationship with Zhou You, mainly because Zhou You made a mistake himself, he was careless, and said that he changed his movie role in Pirates of the Caribbean, and said that he intended to play it again.

As a result, the chick became jealous.

She is not like Yan Fangqing, she will only sulk when she is angry, and she is not like Paris, she can be coaxed in three sentences. This evil woman was angry and deliberately took the two children to be angry, as long as she traveled around at home, she would bully the two children, and the two children who were harmed were afraid when they saw her, so she hugged Yan Fangqing and called her mother. It's enough to be a mother for this part.

"Okay, okay, tell your purpose, you want to do this again, don't blame me for enforcing family law on you!"

This woman is extremely smart, and when she saw that Zhou You's patience had reached the limit, she immediately changed her painting style, sat in his arms, hugged his neck and said softly: "It's very simple, in the prequel, I want to be the heroine." ”

"Do you know how to act in a movie?"

"Would you? I also worked as a model and was trained in camera. Besides, no matter how bad my acting skills are, it's better than Paris's stupidity, she's a heroine, why can't I? ”

Speaking of which, Gracia is more beautiful than Paris, and her usual acting skills are better, maybe she is really better than Paris. But Zhou You didn't want to find this trouble, so he shirked and said: "You really think Disney is mine, I'll go back and talk to Bruckheimer about this matter, but I don't guarantee if it works." ”

She grinned and said, "As long as you don't object, I'll take care of the rest." ”

This time, Zhou You felt as if he had been fooled again.
