Mr. Ma now regrets that the company was in its infancy, accepting financing from SoftBank Masayoshi Son, so much so that 34.4% of Barbary A's shares are now Japanese. Clams

It is very difficult for an enterprise with a high proportion of Japanese capital to make a difference in the mainland, and it can even be said that it is difficult to move forward.

After all, although China now encourages foreign investment, it also needs a cyclical and gradual process.

The door can't be opened all at once.

In the current situation that the market is not particularly open, just some regulatory departments, all kinds of procedures can kill their cards.

In particular, having seen the financial crisis of '98, the means used by foreign capital in the financial market to turn things upside down have frightened the authorities even more, and restrictions have been imposed on foreign capital in many important areas.

Finance is the top priority.

Just like the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) stipulates that the proportion of shares held by foreign investors in A-shares shall not exceed 10% of the total number of shares of the listed company. Clams

The total proportion of shares held by all foreign investors in a listed company shall not exceed 30% of the total number of shares of the listed company.

All kinds of regulations show that the authorities have an attitude of "loosening the outside and tightening the inside" toward foreign investment entering China.

"I heard that now, there is only one private enterprise that has obtained a third-party payment license, but they are also foreign-owned, why is the gap so big!"

Ma Yun was a little indignant, even jealous.

Infinity obtained a third-party payment license a few years ago, which helped Jingxi firmly establish itself as a leading e-commerce company.

In the early days, the daily network payment limit for network users was limited to 200 yuan, but with the development of the Internet economy, it has now been liberalized to 10,000 yuan.

These are all things he wants to do, and now he has been preempted, which makes Ma Yun very uncomfortable. Clams

"How can this be compared, not to mention the identity and contribution of the foreign representative of the Infinity Company, even if it is Lin Zeju, one of their shareholders, behind it is the Yellow River Group, Lin Jiacheng, the richest man in Xiangjiang, and the country still wants them to invest heavily in the mainland."

"There is still a difference between Hong Kong and Japanese capital, and giving a financial license is nothing at all." Cai Chongxin rubbed his forehead, put the document in the drawer and locked it, "It's really not good, let's make Alipay independent, otherwise it will affect our business extension." ”

"Well, what you said makes sense, I think so too, as for the financial license, I think there is a way, maybe you can try."

Ma Yun nodded, and seemed to have some kind of determination in his heart.

"What's the solution?"

Tsai Chongxin turned around.

"I know some Xiangjiang celebrities, and they know a person named Wang Lin who ..... "Cockle

....

Chen Weidong didn't know that the financial license that they could get by saying hello to Director Zhang would have to go through so many difficulties and twists and turns.

So much so that later, when he heard the rumors that Ma Yun visited the warlock Wang Lin, he couldn't help laughing.

Wang Lin claimed to have left home at the age of 7 and worshipped Taoist priests in Mount Emei to learn art.

After he returned from his studies, he went to the mountains and went to the countryside, and was imprisoned for "destroying the agricultural village".

However, he was not very comfortable staying inside, and was often beaten to the point that his nose and face were swollen because of his big words.

Especially talking about things that don't exist. Clams

In the early 90s of the last century, there was a "qigong tide" in China, and even in the official and scientific circles, it received a certain amount of attention and recognition.

At that time, many "qigong masters" emerged, and Wang Lin was one of them.

He claims to have special functions, can help people heal diseases, and will also empty pots of snakes, empty cups of wine and other unique skills, relying on these ambiguous rumors, and gradually get acquainted with many celebrities, entrepreneurs, and Guanyuan.

In the back, the people he got acquainted with became higher and higher, and many of them were feudal officials.

In the end, these people even introduced Wang Lin to an elder and were asked to perform "Snake from the Empty Basin" on the spot.

As a result, Wang Lin couldn't change it at all, so he could only say in a hesitant manner: "I met the real dragon today, and my mana is invalid." ”

In this regard, the elder just said to the people next to him: Clam

"I don't want to see this person again."

....

Liu Dongqiang didn't stay at Infinity for too long, and just two days later, he flew back to Baijing to prepare for the Double 11 event.

Time entered September 2004.

Four companies in South China submitted to the meeting, which sparked heated discussions among many investors in the A-share market.

The reason why these four companies have attracted attention is that they have been established for less than five years, and the businesses they cover are all related to Infinity Company.

They are materials, mechanical, electronic and optical instruments. Clams

The Shenzhen Stock Exchange accepted their application, which will be reviewed at the regular meeting of the issuance review, and if approved, the company can officially issue shares in the secondary market.

Affected by this news, some listed companies in the market that have business dealings with Infinity have seen varying degrees of increase in their stocks.

】

The "infinity concept" has once again been hyped by the market.

At the same time, Infinity Inc., also issued an announcement.

Investors who hold shares of Infinity can register for the annual general meeting of shareholders online with the stock certificates issued by the securities company.

Infinity will cover all shareholders' travel and lodging expenses.

There is no limit to the number of shares held. Clams

Even if you only hold one share, you can participate.

Ordinary shareholders have the right to participate in the general meeting of shareholders, and as long as they buy shares of the company, they will belong to the shareholders of the company for the holding period.

Shareholders enjoy the right to participate in the decision-making of major matters (to participate in the general meeting of shareholders), the right to income, and the right to distribute the remaining property.

Chen Weidong, general manager of Infinity, said: This measure is to let the company's shareholders better understand the company's basic situation and make investment more rational.

After the announcement, it quickly made the headlines of the Hong Kong Financial Times.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange praised the move, saying:

Through on-the-spot investigations, investors will have a deeper understanding of the valuation of listed companies, which to a certain extent, has stifled those shell listed companies that sell dog meat on sheep's heads and harm investors, and has made an indelible contribution to the purification of the securities market.... Clams

In just one day, more than 10,000 investors signed up on the Internet.

The vast majority of them are local shareholders in Hong Kong.

After all, Infinity is listed in Hong Kong, and it is difficult for mainland investors to buy Hong Kong stocks.

Some people have even held their shares since the beginning of the listing of Infinity Corporation, and have never sold them during this period, and have now made hundreds of times the profits.

The issue price of Infinity was HK$1.72 that year, and as of the announcement, the stock price had risen to HK$352.8.

Many shareholders have achieved financial freedom as a result.

Now they have time to enjoy life, so the willingness to participate in the shareholders' meeting is also very strong, and many Xiangjiang shareholders said in interviews that they would come even at their own expense. Clams

Because this can not only better understand the operation of Infinity, but also take a look at the development of the motherland over the years, which is also very good as a tour.

It is worth mentioning that Rockefeller, Morgan Stanley, Blackstone Investment.... After the announcement, seven or eight U.S. financial institutions also sent emails, saying that they would send people to attend the shareholders' meeting.

As for what they have in mind, it is not known.
