Chapter 993: The Middle East Region Takes a Stand
Alipay's shareholders' meeting is officially opened!
At nine o'clock in the morning, the large conference room in the office building of Alipay was crowded with a variety of clothes, among which the most prominent ones were those in the Middle East, their costumes were very distinctive, and other people wore foreign styles, but they still maintained a gentleman's style, that is, small changes were made on the basis of suits.
It is worth mentioning that Alipay has long moved the office building, and it used to rent a few floors in Li Chaoren's office building, but with the development and growth of Alipay, it can no longer be rented, but bought.
In addition, Li Chaoren also has the meaning of selling office buildings, so Alipay bought the floor from Li Chaoren's hands, and then the companies of the original office building were notified to move out of the office building within a time limit, of course, the contract has not expired, it doesn't matter, Alipay is a local tyrant company, there is money, we can breach the contract, compensate you for some money, the contract should be how much, Alipay company is not so much money.
Originally, with their ability, they bought a piece of land in Xiangjiang and built a building with characteristics, which was no problem at all, but everyone was troublesome, and in the end they could only use this most direct way, which was to buy.
On the penultimate floor of the office building, an entire floor has been converted into a conference room, which is a large conference room, followed by the upper three floors. It's all the offices of Alipay's executives. Among them, Tang Hao's office is on the top floor. There are only five offices there, which are owned by three executive vice presidents, and then there is Tang Hao, the executive president, and a small office is owned by Tang Hao's secretary.
The branch is very simple and clean, one floor to the top, and the lower floor is naturally the office area of each department.
Alipay's overseas branches, one by one, the headquarters naturally cannot be less. Even now the staff of Alipay's headquarters have broken through to thousands, but a dozens of floors of office buildings, thousands of people put down, it is still a little empty, but those are not important, the important thing is to be magnificent, look at others, thousands of employees, still crowded in two or three floors, the aisles are so narrow. It's simply more popular than people.
Shareholders enter the market, and heavyweights are always the last.
It's not. Although Tang Hao came to the office building of Alipay very early, he did not show up, and as soon as he arrived, he got into the office, and then several people entered his office, Ma Yu, Ma Huateng and Li Chaoren Qian Qian and others all came to his office, and now the people in charge of the Huo family are also present, obviously, they are a faction.
It's just that what Tang Hao didn't expect was that there was still a person who appeared in his office, this person was none other than the eldest prince of the Dubai royal family, who had several relationships with Tang Hao, he came here with a smile, of course, with a purpose.
"Tang Dong, I am a shareholder of Alipay, and I am also a member of the royal family in Dubai, I went out, first I have the identity of the royal family, and then I am the shareholder of Alipay, and this time, everyone knows everything, and we can't do anything, so we can only remain silent." The eldest prince of Dubai is very direct and straightforward, he speaks Mandarin very well, and he has always spoken Mandarin.
It's a signal, a very strong signal, but the meaning is multifaceted.
One of them is that he is the prince of Dubai, representing Dubai, and Dubai's political status in this world can be imagined, perhaps, they are rich and rival the country, but they are not a military power, under the influence of political factors, their wealth, is really nothing, and it can even be said that those superpowers, if necessary, can turn them into poor people in an instant.
This is the deterrent power of the military, without the military as a guarantee, the political side cannot be tough, and indirectly it means that wealth is of no use, at least in the face of super confrontation, this is the case.
There is another signal, that is, they will be silent this time, that is, no one will support them, and they will take themselves out and only be an outsider.
This is already very rare, because in this way, they will also offend the United States of America, you know, the United States of America wants them to support, but they are silent, no one supports it, and it is clear that no one will be offended.
Supporting the United States of America is bound to offend China, are you kidding? Neither the United States of America nor China can afford to offend.
"Are you only representing Dubai?" Tang Hao asked with a smile.
"Huh!"
The eldest prince of Dubai smiled, shook his head, and said, "Tang Dong, you know what I mean, our nation is all brothers, we are all the same ancestor, and there is no need to doubt our unity." ”
This is another signal, a signal that is not stated.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with representing just one Dubai, but there is another implication that he also represents most of the countries in the Middle East.
He was just a spokesperson who was pushed out, and he showed Tang Hao their attitude, that is, no one supported him.
In this regard, Tang Hao seemed to have been mentally prepared, smiled at the moment, and said, "I understand, thank you on my behalf." ”
"We have reason to believe that Alipay will get better and better under your leadership."
The prince of Dubai is definitely not joking, he is very serious, even dignified: "We are optimistic about the potential of KT mobile phones, and we are also optimistic about the strength of Tang Dong, now countries in the Middle East, the expectations of KT mobile phones are getting higher and higher, and even some people are looking forward to the third generation of KT mobile phones." ”
, but, if it's linked, it's not, it's the real situation.
If Alipay wants to grow stronger, it can't do without KT mobile phones.
If the sales of KT mobile phones are good, Alipay will be better, and those company businesses attached to the application of Alipay will be used, such as Ma Yu's online shopping, most of the businesses of Ma Huateng's Penguin Group, they rely on KT mobile phones, rely on Alipay, but they have developed a lot of applications, and then, their internationalization road is smoother and stronger.
Multinational groups, do you think it's really that easy?
No, it's far from being as simple as you think, it's not easy to gain a foothold in China, and it's even more difficult to go abroad
