Chapter 1334 Lessons Learned

Ordinary people may not know who Sun Zhenyi is.

If Xiao Qi mentions a person and what his relationship with Sun Zhenyi is, then everyone will know.

This person is called Ma Yun. When Alibaba was founded, he looked for people to invest everywhere. Yang Zhiyuan of Yahoo was a bit disdainful at first, but when Ma Yun met Sun Zhenyi, Sun Zhenyi only listened to him for less than 10 minutes. It has already been decided to invest in Alibaba.

Moreover, he is not as stingy as Yang Zhiyuan. It is he who encourages Alibaba to spend money boldly and quickly, and provides sufficient funds, that Ma Yun has the courage to develop Alibaba.

Even when Taobao.com was established in the future, and eBay was in a deadly battle, it was because of Sun Zhenyi's support that eBay was able to do so smoothly.

To some extent, Sun Zhenyi was Ma Yun's mentor when he stepped into the Internet industry.

It's just that in the future, Ma Yun, a person who was born with great talents and crooked talents, after being tempered by the Huaguo market, surpassed Sun Zhenyi in turn.

However, Sun Zhenyi held 30% of the shares of Alibaba Group in his hands all the time, and never intended to sell them back to Alibaba.

Based on the valuation of Alibaba at the end of 2013, at least this 30% stake would be worth US$45 billion, which is higher than the current market value of the entire SoftBank Group.

By 2013, the market capitalization of SoftBank Group exceeded US$89 billion, most of which was due to the Alibaba stock.

Xiao Qi doesn't like Softbank Group, let alone go to Japan to control their telecommunications and mobile phone business. He only fancyes the Alibaba stock in the hands of Sun Zhenyi.

In his previous life, Ma Yun went to Japan almost every week to discuss with Sun Zhenyi his willingness to redeem shares, but Sun Zhenyi did not agree. The e-commerce leader who has been astonishing in the country is helpless in front of Sun Zhenyi.

But compared to Ma Yun, Xiao Qi has many advantages.

First of all, Ma Yun went to Sun Zhenyi after he worked hard to make Taobao.com account for 80% of the Huaguo market. At that time, idiots could see the irresistible momentum of Taobao.com and Zifubao. . How could Sun Zhenyi sell his shares?

It is different now. Taobao.com is still operating slowly. It has not experienced the outbreak of the economic crisis after 2008, and the arrival of the Internet era. The shopping habits of netizens in Huaguo have changed... Ma Yun is still just a very good businessman. It is far from reaching the height of his Internet business godfather in the future.

At this time, Sun Zhenyi is only very optimistic about Alibaba and Taobao.com, not completely unable to give up.

Xiao Qi made a big mistake before.

From the very beginning, he offered Yang Zhiyuan a sky-high price of 10 billion US dollars to buy 40% of Alibaba's shares. With his current status, it is not obvious to tell others. Is he very, very optimistic about Alibaba?

It would be fine if it were other Americans. Anyway, they don’t seek the best interests, and they can let go if they make a lot of money. But what they met was a stubborn and stubborn Yang Zhiyuan, so the sky-high price of 10 billion US dollars not only did not play a good role. , On the contrary, Yang Zhiyuan felt that the Alibaba shares in his hands were priceless.

Looking back now, if Xiao Qi started his quotation from 1.5 billion. Then grind slowly, maybe 10 billion will be able to come down.

But after rebirth. There is no if.

Xiao Qi can only learn a lesson, and besides rearranging Yahoo, he must also be careful with Sun Zhenyi.

You know, Sun Zhenyi is a more narcissistic and stubborn tyrant than Yang Zhiyuan, and even Yang Zhiyuan can't compare with him, because Sun Zhenyi has controlled Softbank Group from beginning to end. And Yang Zhiyuan was kicked out several times back and forth.

Then the second point, since Sun Zhenyi is such a cautious person who wants to control everything, it is impossible for Xiao Qi to negotiate business with him normally.

In particular, Sun Zhenyi used the Japanese Rakuten Mall as a template to look at Alibaba.

Consider the dominance of Rakuten Mall in Japan. The Huaguo market, whose population is more than ten times larger than that of Japan and whose territory is more than twenty times wider, should be so fascinating.

Moreover, Sun Zhenyi has never been short of money from the beginning to the end, and the possibility of using money to lure him to sell his shares is still very low.

Then there is only head-to-head.

Xiao Qi's plan is very simple, after holding the shares of SoftBank Group, he will talk to Sun Zhenyi.

Sun Zhenyi owns 20.9% of the shares of SoftBank Group, which is an extremely huge proportion for a listed company in Japan, which also guarantees Sun Zhenyi's position in SoftBank Group.

But in this world, except for the oil tycoons in the Middle East and some hidden hereditary families, no one can have more money than Xiao Qi.

If Softbank Group is not a listed company, it would be a bit more difficult to handle. Since it is a listed company, it is not impossible for Xiao Qi to directly hostile takeover until it reaches 51% of the shares if no agreement can be reached. .

Isn't it just spending money to raise the price to buy stocks!

With the help of Citigroup, Xiao Qi can achieve his goal with less money.

At that time, Sun Zhenyi's shareholding is lower than Xiao Qi's, so why is he so good?

In order not to lose the control of SoftBank Group, he had no choice but to give in and sell Alibaba's shares to Xiao Qi.

Some people may ask, if Xiao Qi controls 51% of the shares, why not directly announce the sale of Alibaba's shares to Xiannv Company as the absolute controlling shareholder?

In this world, it's not that 51% can do whatever they want, it's just under normal circumstances.

If something very serious is involved, and there is a big disagreement between the management and the controlling shareholder, two-thirds of the shareholders must agree to the resolution to take effect.

In other words, if Xiao Qi, the first shareholder of SoftBank Group, insists on selling the shares of Alibaba, then Sun Zhenyi can directly hold a shareholder meeting and let everyone come to a referendum. Odd better?

Even, if Xiao Qi bought 66.7% of the shares, it would be useless.

Sun Zhenyi can apply to Japan's securities regulatory authorities, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and other relevant authorities to demand that Xiao Qi's decision be declared invalid in the name of illegally harming small and medium shareholders, and then the Japanese will slowly toss Xiao Qi together. Let him quit SoftBank and vowed not to give up. (To be continued..)
