Ma Yun imagined many occasions to meet Xu Xing.

It could be a glittering luxury hotel box, or an elegant and quiet hidden tea room.

Most people who have a successful career will generally have their own exclusive place to receive guests, which is more convenient to communicate some important things.

However, thinking of the age of Xu Xing, the boss and the speed of his achievements, Ma Yun didn't feel so strange when he looked at the store in front of him, which was obviously more like an ordinary restaurant.

In this year, the mobile Internet has just started, and Ma Yun's popularity in the industry is already very high, and outside the industry, he has also created a quite successful character with his own outstanding appearance and an inspirational story.

The skill of storytelling is already a deep-rooted instinct for these Internet tycoons.

Commonly known as painting cake.

The secretary who had been in contact with the other party followed behind Ma Yun, and while taking a mask for Ma Yun to come out, he said softly: "Mr. Ma, Mr. Xu has arrived five minutes early, in box 201." ”

"Let's go."

Ma Yun put on a mask to avoid being recognized, and when he approached the hotel, he heard lively shouting from the three round tables not far away.

At a glance, it was probably a group of young people having a dinner, which was very noisy.

Ma Yun didn't care about these episodes, just followed the waiter's guidance all the way to the door of the box on the second floor.

The moment he pushed the door open, he was facing a young and handsome guy.

The other party was sitting in the window seat, originally smiling and talking to the female secretary next to him, after hearing the movement at the door, he turned his head to look over, immediately restrained the expression on his face, and then showed a very polite smile and got up from the seat to greet him.

"Mr. Ma, I have admired my name for a long time." Xu Xing walked all the way from his seat, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ma Yun, and looked down at this celebrity who could only be seen on the Internet, and there was indeed a little excitement in his heart, as if he had seen an antique that had just been unearthed.

Ma Yun took off his mask, shook hands with Xu Xing with a smile, did not show his aggressive side, but said: "Mr. Xu, I have admired the name for a long time, after seeing it today, I can only say that the hero is a teenager, and I originally felt that I was young, but when I saw you, I realized that I am really old." ”

"Mr. Ma can work for at least another 20 years." Xu Xing also responded with a smile and led the two people who came in to sit down.

"According to you, you can do this for at least another fifty years?" Ma Yun sat down, sat on the seat next to Xu Xing, seemed closer, and laughed and teased.

"That's not going to happen." Xu Xing shook his head, "I'll retire after another ten years." ”

Ma Yun: "...... If you say this, I'm afraid you'll be beaten. ”

Twenty-year-olds say that they will retire after ten years, and you tell me about the same.

But what Ma Yun didn't know was that Xu Xing's words were indeed from the bottom of his heart.

After all, he has returned to the present for ten years, and it is only such a few years of advantageous period, and when he takes advantage of these advantages and earns enough money, then of course he will go to retirement.

In the future, it is just to do charity, support the development of the country, and be a rich man with peace of mind.

"The waiter serves the food."

The people on both sides joked with each other, and after the relationship became a little familiar, Xu Xing shouted to serve the food.

Because they wanted to talk about things, Xu Xing and Ma Yun didn't drink liquor, and the beer was not very formal, so they opened a bottle of red wine, and after clinking glasses, they chatted while picking up vegetables.

Neither of them was the first to say anything important about a joint acquisition.

"Now that the mobile Internet is up, Xu can always take advantage of this wind to achieve this point, and he must have his own opinions." Ma Yun pondered and said, "If your WeChat message can gnaw a piece of meat from QQ in the computer era, then do you think Ali's Taobao is also in danger?" ”

"It's not a concept." Although Xu Xing didn't think so, he still said, "The nature of e-commerce is essentially different from that of social software, and the key to social software is to grasp the user's relationship chain and force the user to use it in reverse, otherwise the friends in the relationship chain will be gone." ”

"The key to e-commerce lies in the supply chain, the price and quality of goods, as well as the efficiency and service of express delivery.

"In this regard, I think that except for Jingdong, there is probably no one who can threaten Taobao's position in e-commerce."

Well, not now, but not later.

However, Ma Yun is not his father, and it is impossible for Xu Xing to tell him all the important information.

Flickering and that's it.

In fact, with the launch of features such as Tmall supermarket, Taobao has gradually embarked on the road of regularization.

This would have been a good sign.

But this also means that those goods that once helped Taobao break through the pirated and low-quality products have also been squeezed out by Taobao itself.

It's fine if no one finds out, but there's no shortage of people looking for opportunities in the market.

Well, in later generations, the famous Pinxixi, which relied on tens of billions of subsidies and slashing, is actually similar to the original Taobao in terms of the logic of its rise, and it is a cheap and cheap road.

To put it bluntly, the e-commerce market is destined to have a low-end, mid-end and high-end product market at the same time.

A single piece of software can accommodate all the unique products, which is not conducive to brand development, and regulatory issues are cumbersome, and there are various issues that are difficult to deal with and coordinate.

It's basically hard to achieve a single dominance.

In the computer period, the number of users is not large, and the cake of e-commerce is not big enough, and Ali can still take the lead.

However, with the advent of the mobile era and the popularity of smartphones, the number of Internet users will explode at a geometric growth curve.

At this time, a Taobao can no longer put all users into its own network.

Ali will either start anew, or he will have to accept this fact.

In the future, Ali launched the Taobao Express Edition and Taote software, in fact, to solve this problem, as much as possible to include low, medium and high-end all-round products into its own industrial matrix.

The two of them chatted along the e-commerce part, chatting and chatting, Ma Yun chatted about social software again, and with the relaxed atmosphere of eating, Ma Yun joked: "According to the current momentum of WeChat, I am afraid that I will be able to share the world equally with QQ in the future." ”

"I don't dare to do that." Xu Xing hurriedly said modestly, "QQ is our predecessor, there should be respect, I have been playing QQ since I was a child, and my classmates also have QQ, all of them are memories of our youth, and doing WeChat messages is also to pay tribute." ”

Salute to you big-headed ghost!

Ma Yun smiled on his face, and he was already scolding Teng Xin's mother in his heart.

Fortunately, you pay tribute to QQ, and it's best to pay tribute in the future, don't worry about Ali's business.

Of course, it would be great if we could become a family in the future.

"Weixin relies on itself, and it may really not be able to catch up with QQ, but if Mr. Xu has this heart, I can help you." Ma Yun raised his wine glass and touched it with Xu Xing, took a sip of red wine, and then said, "The best tribute to my predecessors is to catch up with him, and to be better than the blue." ”

"Mr. Ma said this well." Xu Xing happily touched a glass with him, and then asked tentatively, "So, how are you going to help me?" ”

"Before, you used 10% of the shares of Weixin to raise 150 million yuan." Ma Yun shook his red wine glass, pondered for a moment and said, "I can understand your thoughts, you were unwilling to accept Ali's acquisition before, and you didn't want to let go of this business. ”

"Then in this case, I can also not control it, and the micro-message is still under your control."

"Ali just needs a seat on the board."

When Xu Xing heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

Alibaba's style has always been very distinct, as long as it can be acquired, it will be acquired as much as possible and integrated into Alibaba's own system and ecological chain.

Only those that really can't be completely acquired will loosen their mouths.

The more classic cases in the previous life are Meituan and Didi, which have been relying on Alibaba and Tengxin for many years, using the relationship between the supergiants to achieve a delicate balance, thus ensuring their relatively independent status.

It's just that in this life, the status of micro-communication is a bit magical.

Because of the preparation parent company Qunxing Company, there is a steady supply of funds from Tianshu Games, and Weixin does not need to consider its own funds at all.

This is the point of Ali and Tengxin's distress.

"So, what does Mr. Ma mean?" Xu Xing asked curiously.

"I want 35% of the shares of WeChat, one billion." Ma Yun's fingers tapped on the tabletop, and he said very neatly, "Beautiful knife." ”

Hearing this number, Xu Xing's eyes froze, and he was a little surprised.

Yan Chi Vinegar, who had been obediently helping Xu Xing with vegetables, also shook his wrist, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong.

35% of the shares, almost one-third, what did Ma Yun say?

1 billion US dollars?!

Is this really not taking money as money?

You must know that just a few months ago, when Ali came to talk about the purchase price of WeChat, the price of 100% equity was 1 billion US dollars!

As a result, how long has it been, one-third of the shares are 1 billion US dollars, so isn't Ali's total valuation of Weixin already reaching 3 billion US dollars?

Is it okay to triple in a few months?

What's even more exaggerated is that at the Weixin 2.0 press conference just a week ago, the Shanghai United Venture Capital Company acquired 10 shares for 150 million US dollars, and the total valuation of Weixin reached 1.5 billion US dollars.

It's only been a week, and Ma Yun's valuation of Weixin has doubled!

It can be seen that when he came to see Xu Xing this time, this horse always really made a lot of determination, and it was inevitable to win Weixin.

35% of the shares, after more than one-third, although there is no absolute control over WeChat, but at least one veto.

This means that in the future, if any major decision within Weixin will be unfavorable to Ali, Ali can choose to veto it to ensure its own rights and interests.

This is a very correct multiple-choice question for Ma Yun.

Tengxin's QQ is enough to bear, and this is another micro-message, if it can't be wooed, then at least it must be guaranteed to be harmless to Ali.

Especially if the 1 billion US dollars are smashed, no matter how you say it, Ali is the second largest shareholder of Weixin.

At that time, even if the cooperation between the two sides cannot completely satisfy Ali, at least there is a basis for in-depth cooperation.

Although he failed to fully incorporate Weixin into his own Ali system, he can be regarded as a foreign aid player.

It's much more useful than the few social software that I have made up that don't have any fame.

"That's a lot of money." Xu Xing didn't express his position immediately, but just sighed, "Being able to be looked down upon by Mr. Ma like this, my life is not in vain." ”

"Mr. Xu, this is serious." Ma Yun laughed, and didn't force Xu Xing to express his position, but said, "This is Ali's sincerity, and it is also the importance of Weixin's future potential." ”

"But let's be honest." Xu Xing said, "We're really not short of money now, after all, we've just finished the first round of financing. ”

"No one will dislike having a lot of money, especially in promotion and publicity, there is no shortage of money, which means that Mr. Xu, you are not very good at spending money." Ma Yun leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "TV, Internet, streets, subways, airports, shopping malls, celebrities, only what you can't think of, nothing you can't spend." ”

"That's right." Xu Xing nodded, "But 150 million US dollars is enough for Weixin to spend for a while." ”

"And then?" Ma Yun then asked, "Before Weixin has its own revenue to cover the cost, you can't always rely on a few mobile games to support, the game industry is too risky, and no one can guarantee whether the next game will be popular." ”

You can't guarantee it, but I can.

Xu Xing complained in his heart, but it was impossible to say it in person.

During this period, Ma Yun was still in the stage of "Ali will never make games".

But in another year or two, he's probably going to slap himself in the face.

"I'm not going to work right now." Ma Yun continued, "This time can be now, or it can be a few months from now, and I am here today just to show my sincerity. ”

"Well, I do feel Mr. Ma's sincerity." Xu Xing nodded, not giving the slightest guarantee.

"Huh." Ma Yun didn't look annoyed at all, just shook his head with a smile, "Ali can definitely give you more than you think, money is only the most important thing." ”

"If you want, you can imagine how powerful the account exchange between WeChat and Taobao and Alipay is."

"And that's just the surface."

Ma Yun's words were very seductive.

The main reason is that Ali's own cards are too solid, which makes people very appetizing at a glance.

It's just that for Xu Xing, Taobao and Alitong, in his eyes, are actually the same as QQ, and they are very respected predecessors.

Well, seniors.

Isn't it just for catching up?

This is what Ma Yun himself said.

Seeing that Xu Xing was a little unproductive, Ma Yun sighed, as if he had no tricks.

But then he said, "There's another way to work together." ”

"Oh?"

"Xu Xing." Ma Yun called his real name for the first time, "Do you know Ali's partnership system?" ”

"I've heard of it."

"Do you think it's possible for you to be one of them?"
