Chapter 1177 Possible or Impossible?

In the empty living room, Xiao Qi stood up and looked towards the lush garden area, feeling happy or excited.

Originally, it was just talking about Weibo’s royalties, but why did it suddenly turn to talking about buying shares in the Alibaba Group?

And looking at Cowell's appearance, he seems to be very excited!

As the president of Yahoo Asia, Cowell is not only Yang Zhiyuan's confidant, he must also be very capable.

Because Japan's yahoo has been profitable for 10 consecutive years, and its market value continues to rise, it is almost close to its parent company. Cowell, who replaced Yang Zhiyuan in this most important overseas stronghold, is he an ordinary person?

However, don't underestimate the stiff heads of those old diehards at Yahoo.

Now Taobao and Zifubao have not made efforts one after another. Although the price of 10 billion US dollars is very high now, it is not without the possibility of yellowing.

In 2008, before the most famous acquisition of yahoo by Microsoft for US$44.6 billion appeared, in fact, Microsoft made an offer at the beginning of this year, but the decision-makers of yahoo finally rejected it because they felt that the offer was too low and did not meet the requirements. Yahoo's core values.

The management always thinks that when yahoo's highest market value was 130 billion US dollars in 1999, they think that yahoo should be worth at least 53 billion US dollars.

There is no way, human greed knows no bounds.

In the acquisition next year that made Yang Zhiyuan and a group of management regret for life, Microsoft's price of 44.6 billion U.S. dollars, they still insisted on arrogantly rejecting it. They didn't know until after the financial crisis that Yahoo's market value was only 12.7 billion U.S. dollars. What stupid thing did I do.

at that time. Fortunately, Microsoft opened the champagne, and Yang Zhiyuan and his group were immediately kicked off the stage by angry shareholders.

Yang Zhiyuan is also known as the most greedy and stupid chief.

Later, under the leadership of that female CEO, Yahoo's stock price soared again, and at the end of 2013 it stood back to the $40 billion mark, but anyone who understands knows that Yahoo can stand up again. It relied on Yang Zhiyuan's previous two investments - 34% of Yahoo Japan's shares and the remaining 20% ​​of Alibaba Group's shares after selling half to the Alibaba Group's management team.

Among them, the market value of Yahoo Japan is 20 billion US dollars, and the IPO valuation of Alibaba Group has soared to about 150 billion US dollars.

In other words, apart from these two assets, Yahoo's market capitalization of US$40 billion, its core technology assets and assets in the United States are almost infinitely equal to zero.

Everyone knows how much the Alibaba Group wants to buy back its own shares, in addition to Microsoft's strong desire to acquire Yahoo. But the reason for being stuck in the middle is Yang Zhiyuan.

Yang Zhiyuan, who caused Yahoo's bleak scene, is still a Huaguo in his heart. No matter what, as long as it is mine, he will not sell it.

In the end, there was really no other way. In 2012, Yahoo could only force Yang Zhiyuan to retreat. A few months after he left the CEO position, Yahoo announced an agreement with the Alibaba Group. At a total price of 7.1 billion U.S. dollars, sell half of the 40% Alibaba Group shares held by yourself, which is 20%.

And the Alibaba Group promised that it will go public in IPO before 2106, and before the IPO goes public, Yahoo will also sell the remaining 20% ​​of its shares.

According to the speculation of UBS in 2011. The Alibaba Group, which gathers super giant companies such as Taobao.com, Alibaba, and Zifubao, has a market value of about 65 billion U.S. dollars.

It is based on the stimulation of these good news that Yahoo's market value will soar continuously in 2012 and 2013. Reached 40 billion US dollars.

According to the above price, if Xiao Qi buys the shares of Alibaba Group with 10 billion US dollars in advance, it will definitely be a great deal of huge profits.

What's more, Taobao.com and Zifubao are far from where they will dominate the world in the future.

The beginning of the financial crisis in 2008 was the time for them to flex their muscles.

And when Taobao officially started the business of Tmall Mall and completed the layout of b2b2c, the Alibaba Group will officially stand proudly with the momentum of crushing.

Now everyone gives Alibaba Group an overall valuation. The most optimistic investment bank is only 3-5 billion US dollars. Xiao Qi directly gives 10 billion US dollars. Persevere.

However, the question is whether Yang Zhiyuan is as reckless as the legend says.

If he is sure that the valuation of Alibaba Group will reach 30 to 50 billion U.S. dollars, it will be useless for anyone to say—this is from Yahoo’s market value of about 25 billion U.S. dollars on that day, Microsoft’s 60% premium, and its acquisition of 44.6 billion U.S. dollars. He was able to refuse. It can be seen how stubborn this person is.

Therefore, Xiao Qi really has no confidence in whether he can buy the shares of Alibaba Group.

Speaking of it, Xiao Qi still admires the online business developed by Alibaba Group. If he is not a reincarnated person, he will not even reach one percent of Ma Yun's - Ma Yun is the real Internet business A genius in operations, in his hands, Huaguo's online business really shines.

But at the same time, Ma Yun is a very strong person. He is never willing to give up his dominance. Very contradictory.

This is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures.

In this respect, he and Yang Zhiyuan are almost the same kind of people.

If it were an American, he would definitely smile and calculate his own gains and losses. If it is a good deal, he would really wish for more money for development.

Then again, Ma Yun and his team of operators only hold 31% of the shares of Alibaba Group. If you want to buy more, you might as well go to Yahoo, which holds 40% of the shares, or Softbank, which holds 29% of the shares.

it is good.

Yang Zhiyuan is stubborn.

Ma Yun is stubborn.

The remaining Sun Zhenyi of Softbank is the more stubborn descendant of Chinese.

If you want to buy the shares of Alibaba Group from the three of them, it will be more difficult than heaven.

In the future, because of Yang Zhiyuan, Ma Yun was kicked out of the yahoo decision-making team, and finally spent a lot of money to redeem the shares of Alibaba Group under the hands of the Yankees. .

As for the shares in Sun Zhenyi's hands, Ma Yun didn't even think about it, because it was impossible. Sun Zhenyi, an old fox who had been watching Ma Yun grow up, wanted to keep increasing his shares in Alibaba!

It was only by chance that Xiao Qi considered whether to buy some shares of the Alibaba Group, and he would not be able to manage it by himself after buying it. He would hand it over to Ma Yun's team to make money for himself without worrying about it. How nice?

He has a b2c online shopping mall in his hand. If this online shopping mall is done well, it will definitely not be inferior to Taobao.com, and the logistics park of hundreds of thousands of mu in the hands of the young man is definitely the best in the world. Can't compare.

So, it must be a good thing if it can be done.

If it can't be done, then nothing is lost.

With the help of reincarnation, Xiao Qi can add a lot of wealth to himself casually, and there is no shortage of Taobao.com.

The result of wanting all the benefits will only be to exhaust yourself to death.

Now Xiao Qi has enough property in his hands, so that the young man can't wait to have two of himself to handle affairs. If the growth continues like this, is it really necessary to learn from LVMH's Bellard, or Virgin's Branson? Like, being the owner of 100+ companies? (To be continued..)
