"Hey! I don't like you to say that my brother is not looking at our website now, but the pressure on me is not less at all. ”
Wang Teng drank a lot of wine, and at this time he was a little drunk, and his face was crimson.
"Oh? Weishenme said so? ”
"Isn't it our competitors who are making trouble?"
Wang Teng frowned and said, it turned out that the financing obtained by the forty thieves this time mainly came from two companies, one was SoftBank from Japan, and the other was from EBAY, a giant who created the shijie network marketing model.
FOR SOFTBANK, THEY ARE EASY TO DEAL WITH, ALL THEY NEED IS MONEY, AND EBAY IS DIFFERENT, THIS COMPANY, LIKE ALL AMERICAN COMPANIES, WHEN IT BECOMES BIGGER AND STRONGER, IT LIKES SHIJIE'S HORSE RACING, BUT WHENEVER THERE IS A COMPANY THAT DOES THE SAME BUSINESS AS THEM, HE CAN'T WAIT TO DIRECTLY STRANGLE THE OTHER PARTY IN THE CRADLE, AND THE MOST DIRECT MEANS OF THIS IS TO ACQUIRE THE OPPONENT, AND WITH THE Yankee's wealth, his negotiation opponent is general, It's hard to resist the price they offer.
This kind of commercialization is very skillful in Yankees.
"Didn't they already get a certain stake in our company? How? ”
Li Yifan also felt that the situation was a little bad.
"It is because they have obtained a certain stake in our company, and they have seen the benefits from the development of our company for more than a year, so they feel unwilling and want more."
Speaking of this, Wang Teng was a little angry. IN FACT, THE DISPUTE BETWEEN THE FORTY THIEVES AND EBAY IS ALSO BECAUSE OF THE GREED OF THE AMERICANS. But looking at such a fast-growing company. If you see that person or company, you won't be salivating.
Isn't it the same with SoftBank, another investor? Later, didn't he stab the forty thieves in the back when they were in the most difficult time?
If it hadn't been for the financial crisis that followed, it is difficult to say how the Forty Thieves would have escaped from these international vampires.
"What are they going to do?"
THINKING OF THOSE YANKEES' METHODS, LI YIFAN ALSO FELT A LITTLE UNHAPPY, IT STANDS TO REASON THAT EBAY IS DEVELOPING QUITE WELL IN THE UNITED STATES, AND IT CAN EVEN BE SAID THAT IT IS THE GOLDEN STAGE OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT. The annual profit is hundreds of millions, and after the listing on the NASDAQ, the company's market value once approached 9 billion US dollars, and now the company is not only in the United States, but even in the Shijie range, it is a great miracle.
But they are too greedy to let go of any potential market, and they don't take the market of China, a developing country, into their eyes, because they think that Chinese people can't even have a computer in every house. How else to make a C2C website with high computer and network requirements?
However, it is the recent failure of investment in Japan and the rise of the Big Forty Thieves. EBAY IS MOVING THEIR MINDS, AND THEY PLAN TO EXPAND THEIR PROJECTS IN CHINA.
"They plan to acquire eBay, which has just been established in Puhai, and plan to directly launch C2C projects in China."
Also in 99, a returning student with a debt of $80,000 founded the first C2C trading platform in China in Puhai, which is eBay.
However, compared with the later popular and purple leakage network, the beginning of the establishment of eBay can be described as a lot of hardships, after all, the creation time is too early, coupled with the lack of domestic Internet and personal computer users, resulting in the beginning of eBay is struggling.
However, since the beginning of 2000, the development speed of computers and networks in China can be said to be changing with each passing day, and more and more individual families have begun to use computers and connect to broadband, so that the transaction volume of eBay has also soared, especially in the first half of this year, the development speed of eBay has shown an explosive growth trend.
THIS MADE EBAY, WHICH HAD JUST LOST TO YAHOO IN JAPAN, VERY EXCITED, AFTER ALL, THE REASON WHY THEY LOST TO YAHOO IN JAPAN BEFORE WAS BECAUSE THEY HAD ENTERED THAT MARKET FOR HALF A YEAR BEFORE YAHOO, AND NOW IN CHINA, IN FACT, THERE ARE NO SERIOUS E-COMMERCE WEBSITES EXCEPT FOR THE FORTY THIEVES.
THE FORTY THIEVES WEBSITE IS STILL SPECIALIZED IN B2B, AND IT DOES NOT INVOLVE C2C AT ALL, SO THIS TIME EBAY PLANS TO MAKE AN ADVANCE LAYOUT IN CHINA, DIRECTLY ACQUIRE EBAY, AND OCCUPY THE COMMANDING HEIGHTS OF C2C WEBSITES.
Hearing Wang Teng's introduction to the market, Li Yifan was also surprised, what the hell is going on? Why did the Yankees move first?
You must know that in the last life, Americans acquired eBay and began to enter the C2C website, but in 2002, but now this deal, why is it a year and a half ahead of schedule?
You must know that the period from 2000 to 2003, but the domestic computer market and the network market, the most popular era of development, during this time, the computer industry can be said to show explosive growth, the weight of individual users every year several times, it is a very normal thing, at this time if anyone occupies the commanding heights of the industry, then for the future enterprises, in this field of development influence, it can be said that it is almost unlimited.
If the Americans take the lead this time, it will not be easy.
But after thinking about it, Li Yifan is not too worried, it is only 2000, and the Americans. When did the COM bubble burst?
It seems that next year, I am very grateful to Uncle bin Laden's two planes, and it was these two planes that not only exploded the chrysanthemums of the Americans, but also destroyed the Americans' at once. The COM bubble, in the years since, the NASDAQ index, has not been very prosperous, knowing that the rise of Google and Apple has once again given the American computer industry the wings of rapid development.
But at this time, he can't say these words to Wang Teng, if he says them to Wang Teng, next year, the Yankees' NASDAQ will explode and kill Wang Teng, Wang Teng will not believe it, because now anyone who can make peace with. The word COM is a little bit of a company, and it is good to mix it on the NASDAQ.
"What do you mean, Brother Wang?"
Looking at Wang Teng's unwilling lonely eyes, Li Yifan knew that Wang Teng was definitely unwilling to give up the domestic market to the Americans, and at the beginning of their business in the capital, they said that they would enter the domestic C2C market when the domestic conditions were ripe in the future, so how could they be willing to let the Americans stir up in their own back garden?
"I don't want Americans to specialize in the United States, so I also like to enter the C2C market in advance, although the current market, may not be mature, but as long as we enter early, after opening the visibility, it is still very beneficial for future development."
Wang Teng's eyes were very determined.
"Then the remaining problem is the problem of funding."
Li Yifan smiled and said to Wang Teng, in fact, when Wang Teng said that he wanted to enter the C2C market, he knew that the resistance must be not small.
"Well, now you know the situation of our forty thieves, just on the track, it is expected to enter the profit mode in the second half of the year, and the first dividend is estimated to wait until the end of the year, but by the end of the year, we may not be able to make any money, but time waits for no one, and the Americans are about to start."
Wang Teng's brows furrowed, obviously time waits for no one, this is the problem that makes him the most anxious.
At this time, Li Yifan's heart moved, he knocked out his family 200 million US dollars in Canada not long ago, spent 90 million to buy a ranch, and still had more than 100 million US dollars in his Swiss bank account.
I was thinking about how to spend the money back, but now I have a good place to go.
In the last life, the leak net is directly subordinate to the forty thieves company, even if it is a sub-site under him, there are more shares mixed in it, if you want to get the maximum benefit in a few years, then you might as well invest a lot of money at this time, and then let this pick up the leak net, simply independent from the forty thieves, so that it is not just to meet their desire to maximize their interests?
During a trip to the United States, Li Yifan's ambitions have also swelled a lot, especially when he has 100 million US dollars in hand.
"Brother Wang, how much money are you missing?"
Li Yifan asked lightly, Wang Teng glanced at Li Yifan, they were not outsiders, so he said in a deep voice.
"The Americans are menacing this time, so this business model can't be the same as when the forty thieves were founded before, and we must invest heavily in it to make people feel that we are no worse than the Americans, I estimate that at least this number."
Wang Teng stretched out three fingers.
"Thirty million?"
Li Yifan is eyebrows raised, but his heart is beating violently, this is too cheap, you must know that in the previous life, Wang Teng entered the C2C market in a high-profile manner, and when he announced the establishment of Pick Up Leak Network and eBay to officially play against each other, he directly invested 100 million, and then free for six consecutive years......
At this time, it is really cost-effective to invest in, after all, in the era when the Internet era is just emerging, no matter what you do, the cost is very low.
Of course, you must know that the reason why the investment required to enter this market later will be so large is entirely because the scale of this person's computer users in China has grown too fast, and it can even be described as turning over and rising.
In January 2000, there were only 8.9 million computer users in China, in January 2001, there were 22.5 million computer users, and in January 2002, the number of computer users in China became 59.1 million......
"I'm going to mortgage my shares of forty thieves and lend a sum of money from the bank to run this project."
Wang Teng said to Li Yifan with red eyes, it seems that his madness is coming up again.
"Brother Wang, what bank are you looking for? I'll give you this money, this time we'll split the account fifty-fifty, you will pay, I will pay! ”
Li Yifan's generous words made Wang Teng's eyes shine! (To be continued.) )
