For Lin Ze's 60% stake in Alibaba, this is not the most worrying for him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because Lin Ze's Changsheng Company holds 20% of the shares, according to the agreement, it depends on the "face" of Ma Yun's team, that is to say, Lin Ze actually only has 40% of the right to speak, which does not constitute absolute control.
However, Alibaba recruited Goldman Sachs as one of the major shareholders at the beginning, but it had a strategic arrangement.
Goldman Sachs has a great influence in the Mei country, which helps Alibaba BABA's business to develop in the Mei country.
Now Lin Ze has won 40% of the shares in Goldman Sachs, which directly affects the strategic deployment of Alibaba.
That's the most important thing!
Ma Yun attaches great importance to strategic planning, and the investment of Sonoshi SoftBank and the investment of Lin Ze Changsheng of Zhong Guo are all due to his strategic needs.
For this strategic deployment, Ma Yun, as the soul of the company, has always been proud, and often uses it to cheer up the team.
However, now, the strategic deployment of the Mei market has been destroyed by Lin Ze.
Cai Chongxin can imagine that if Ma Yun knew the news, he would not be in a hurry to scold his mother!
Lin Ze couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw Cai Chongxin's face collapsed, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and asked with "concern": "Mr. Cai, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" ”
Cai Chongxin showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, he looked at Lin Ze and said, "Mr. Lin, are you so optimistic about Alibaba?" ”
Lin Ze nodded and smiled: "Yes, Ma Yun is a very talented business leader!" ”
Cai Chongxin said: "But you have already ruined his strategic plan to develop the enterprise. ”
"Strategic planning?" Lin Ze was slightly startled, but then he understood.
He was noncommittal about Ma Yun's strategic plan, and he did not fully agree with it.
Ma Yun believes that having a large company like Goldman Sachs as a shareholder will help Alibaba baba's business in the Mei country.
But Lin Ze didn't think so.
The advantage of the labor force and population of the country is difficult to match by any country on the planet.
As long as any kind of product enters the country and is manufactured by the country, its market price will drop on a large scale.
Because Zhong not only has a low cost of labor, but more importantly, his labor force population is extremely large.
Large-scale production will inevitably lead to a surge in the number of products, and the price will inevitably plummet.
From the perspective of the country as a whole, this is actually an asymmetric competitive advantage - it will crush the manufacturing industry of other countries!
The products produced in Zhong are cost-effective, high-quality and inexpensive, which is difficult to compare with other countries.
This is also the reason why in the future of the original time and space, "Made in Zhongguo" will be flooded all over the world.
Therefore, in Lin Ze's eyes, as long as the people of Mei Country are not funny, they will choose products made in Zhong Kingdom, and merchants will actively provide these goods.
That is to say, Alibaba, as a platform for manufacturers and sellers to contact each other, is inevitable that its business will enter the Mei country, and it does not require any Goldman Sachs force.
Because whoever chooses zhongguo will make a profit, and whoever does not choose zhongguo will lose the market!
Lin Ze shook his head slightly, and said confidently: "Don't worry, it won't affect Alibaba's strategy of entering the Mei country!" ”
Lin Ze said that he was confident, but Cai Chongxin was not confident.
This is not to blame him, in this era, not to mention that he is an executive of a company, even the top head of the government lacks a little self-confidence.
People's deep-rooted thinking is: Mei country is developed and advanced, while Zhong country is poor and backward, and Mei people look down on Zhong people.
Therefore, in the process of opening up to the outside world and attracting investment, in order to attract foreign investment, the government has actually formulated special preferential policies for foreign capital that are different from those of domestic capital, and implemented differential treatment!
This is actually a manifestation of lack of self-confidence, of course, there are also reasons for being frightened by the 98 financial crisis and actively storing foreign exchange.
Lin Ze thought that Zhong Guo didn't need to be so "flattering" to foreign capital.
Because of the advantages of Zhongguo: relatively high-quality labor force, huge working population, low labor costs, political stability, etc., these are irreplaceable by other countries!
Investing in the country is a choice that a savvy business leader will inevitably make, because only by doing so will his company gain a competitive advantage, otherwise, it will be squeezed out of the market by its rivals!
Seeing Cai Chongxin's frowning appearance, Lin Ze smiled and patted him on the shoulder, stood up, and said, "It's not early, since Mr. Cai is here, let's have a meal together." ”
Cai Chongxin did not refuse.
After the three of them left the office, Lin Ze glanced at the five staff inside, and simply brought them with him.
Mei Guo car is not expensive, each of the five employees actually has a small car, but three of them are second-hand.
Lin Ze, Cai Chongxin, and Li Quan got into the same car, and Li Quan served as the driver.
Lin Ze suddenly remembered that Li Quan's girlfriend seemed to be working in a Chinese restaurant, so he simply chose the place there.
It's not too far from Wall Street, about twenty minutes by car.
Along the way, Cai Chongxin kept sending messages with his mobile phone.
Lin Ze knew that he must be communicating with Ma Yun.
They didn't bother him, and let them discuss.
Lin Ze clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned back on the chair, and closed his eyes, as if resting.
But in fact, every text message sent and received will generate a signal.
Lin Ze's human biomagnetic field dispersed, and the super biological brain captured these signals and saw their "conversation" clearly.
Lin Ze, who was resting, shook his head slightly, and after Ma Yun, who was far away in Zhong Kingdom, knew that Kai Rui's boss was also Lin Ze, he actually replied to Cai Chongxin with a national scolding, "TMD ......"
However, scolding the mother could not solve any problems, he asked Cai Chongxin to talk to Lin Ze to see if he could buy back some shares.
After all, it is 60% of the shares, and being held in the hands of one person makes him still a little uneasy.
The destruction of the national strategy made him extremely angry, but he quickly thought of a remedy: he asked Cai Chongxin to communicate with Wal-Mart, the world's retail giant, to see if he could reach any cooperation.
Wal-Mart Department Store's sales reached $33 billion in 90 years, making it the world's largest retail company.
In 93, there were already 330 retail stores in European countries such as Britain, France and Germany;
In 97, sales exceeded 100 billion US dollars, reaching 105 billion US dollars;
In '99, its sales reached $165 billion, and the total number of employees employed by TA reached 1.14 million, making it the world's largest private employer!
Wal-Mart Department Store is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and the Walton family holds a 48% stake.
Mei Guo's "Fortune" magazine commented on the Walton family, "...... The Walton family determines more than 1 million jobs in the country, and the family's decisions also shape investors' investment portfolios of hundreds of billions of dollars in the stock market and pension fund market,...... Forget about Bill Gates and Buffett, in Mei country, it is the Walton family that really has an impact on the economy and society of Mei country! ”
Walmart? The Waltons?
Lin Ze thought about it, secretly collected relevant information, and immediately understood the relevant information of them.
Since the 90s, Wal-Mart Department Store has been actively applying computer Internet technology to improve management efficiency, reduce management level, and provide customers with cheaper goods!
In the early 2000s, its stock price reached an astonishing $690 per share, with a market value of $100 million!
It's a super-jumbo.
After the dot-com bubble burst, the industrial retailer was also hit by the pond fish, and its stock price suffered a setback, falling to around $585 per share, where it fluctuated up and down.
In fact, although Wal-Mart actively applies computer Internet technology, it does not belong to the Internet company, and the sharp drop in stock price is purely a disaster to the pond fish.
But even so, its market capitalization is still around $188 billion.
TA is still a super-jumbo!
In the face of such a super-giant company, even Lin Ze couldn't help but smack his lips secretly.
At the same time, he shook his head secretly, Alibaba's market value is only about one-thousandth of his compared to TA, such a small point to seek cooperation with others......
Hehe, hehe, the president of the family is willing to spare time to receive, that is because of the high quality of the people; If you refuse directly, that's a normal reaction!
After all, Wal-Mart Department Store is not a venture capital company, and there is no need for it to receive such a small point in the country!
Lin Ze had no hope that Tsai Chongxin would visit Wal-Mart, but he didn't say anything.
Soon the car arrived at the Chinese restaurant, and everyone got off.
Li Quan's girlfriend came out to pick them up, and the box had already been arranged.
When he arrived at the place, Cai Chongxin immediately went to the bathroom.
Lin Ze knew that he must have gone to talk to Ma Yun on the phone.
But he wasn't interested in running to the toilet to finish eavesdropping.
It was already lunch time, and Li Quan's girlfriend had finished her morning's work, so she simply sat down at a table, and she and Li Quan sat together.
The five employees of the company repeatedly called their sisters-in-law ambiguously and teased them, obviously they knew about the "adulterous * love" of the two of them.
Li Quan's girlfriend was introverted and blushed, Li Quan took advantage of the prestige of the general manager to glare at those boys, but unfortunately it had no effect.
Lin Ze looked funny, so he laughed, which made those boys laugh even more, and Li Quan was helpless.
Lin Ze knew that Li Quan and her girlfriend had a deep relationship, and he was curious, why didn't he get married?
Seeing that the atmosphere was more relaxed, he asked straightforwardly.
When he asked, those boys settled down, and apparently, they were also curious!
Li Quan was silent when he heard this, and let out a long sigh.
Li Quan's girlfriend also looked complaining, looking at Li Quan's eyes full of tenderness, she bit her lower lip and said, "It's my family who doesn't agree......"
