Chapter 1528 Annoyed Giant
Ma Yun has been very irritable these days.
As a person born with great talents and crooked talents, although his appearance is really unsightly, there is no doubt that in his own field, Ma Yun can completely remove these appearance factors.
Alibaba Group is only Ma Yun's first Internet company attempt, and it is developing very well now, but Ma Yun is most satisfied with Taobao.com, which was launched hastily in order to prevent eBay from being cornered.
No one thought that Taobao.com could develop so well, let alone Ma Yun.
He and his group of capable generals were under the pressure of incomparable tension and fear for this super giant from abroad-before eBay entered China, it had already swept across the Americas and Europe, and its market value exceeded several Ten billion U.S. dollars, while Alibaba at that time did not even have 1 billion U.S. dollars.
Ma Yun's most optimistic estimate is that he can maintain a 20% domestic market share, so as to ensure the smooth development of Alibaba's business.
Unexpectedly, after eBay entered Huaguo, just like other American companies, it quickly fell into the vicious circle of acclimatization. Many foreign rules were copied to Huaguo.
Ma Yun quickly seized this opportunity and immediately found funds from Yang Zhiyuan and Sun Zhenyi. In just three years, he defeated eBay and became the super overlord of domestic c2c. % share is not accounted for.
However, even now in 2007, Ma Yun would not have thought of it. The coming economic crisis will bring many opportunities to Taobao.com.
Now Ma Yun seems to be very satisfied with the market share and growth, but in 2008, 2009, 2010... until 2013, it is not worth mentioning.
Because these years are at least 100% growth every year. There are even growth rates of 200% or 300%.
In this way, by the end of 2013, Taobao.com has become a behemoth that absolutely surpasses eBay, and has achieved the myth of the world's number one b2b2c online shopping industry.
Sun Zhenyi is indeed a hero.
On the surface, he agreed to Xiao Qi's exchange terms, but he hasn't returned to Japan yet. He called Ma Yun at the airport and told him about the change of ownership of Alibaba Group shares.
Sun Zhenyi's thinking is very simple, since I can't earn this money, then Xiao Qi, if you want to get the shares of this Alibaba Group, it is not such a good thing, so let Ma Yun annoy you to death.
Since Taobao officially defeated eBay in 2006 and entered a period of rapid growth, Ma Yun quickly realized its wealth growth, so it started at the beginning of this year. He has already called and met with Yang Zhiyuan and Sun Zhenyi continuously. Hope to repurchase its Alibaba Group shares.
Alibaba Group's shares have always been composed of three parts: 40%. Softbank Group owns 30%, and Ma Yun and management own 30%.
Ma Yun's greatest desire is to reclaim more than 20% of the shares, so he not only does things without any constraints. There is no need to report to Yang Zhiyuan and Sun Zhenyi for approval and discussion, and you can use the identity of the largest shareholder. The continuous issuance of additional shares has compressed the shares of SoftBank Group and SoftBank Group to a lower range.
But no one is fool.
Not to mention Yang Zhiyuan, who created the entire Internet era, and Sun Zhenyi, who became the number one richest man in Japan as a Korean, both of them have the same vision as Ma Yun, and they have also seen the development of Taobao.com potential, so he has always refused without hesitation and categorically.
Ma Yun knew that to deal with these treacherous and cunning people, he should not be impatient and could only use water to grind his time, so he just continued to try, but he never thought that he would succeed immediately.
But all of a sudden, Sun Zhenyi called him, saying that the 30% stake in Softbank was about to be transferred to Xiao Qi of Fairy Company, and it hit Ma Yun directly like a bolt from the blue.
Yes.
For Ma Yun, a bolt from the blue is not an exaggeration.
The shares he had worked so hard to redeem were actually bought out first?
He keenly sensed Sun Zhenyi's unwillingness and regret from Sun Zhenyi's words, which showed that Sun Zhenyi must have been forced to sell the shares of Alibaba Group.
Good guy!
To be able to force Sun Zhenyi to sell the shares of the Alibaba Group, which he regards as a treasure, is indeed worthy of Xiao Qi, who has made a lot of money recently!
Almost immediately, Ma Yun wanted to visit Xiao Qi to see if there was any hope of getting these shares, no matter how much he paid.
But Ma Yun is not a frivolous person after all, so he thought instead, if you go so presumptuously, people might ignore you.
Although you, Ma Yun, are the godfather of Internet business in Huaguo, Xiao Qi is the godfather of the smart electronics industry all over the world. Whether it is wealth, reputation or influence, the gap between the two is huge.
You can't just go there unprepared.
You have to be ready and fully prepared before you go, and strive to win the Alibaba shares in Xiao Qi's hands in one fell swoop! !
This kind of firm obsession has been floating in Ma Yun's heart during this time.
But he didn't know how to prepare.
Because Ma Yun has nothing to impress Xiao Qi at all.
money?
Their assets exceed 300 billion U.S. dollars, not to mention my pitiful billions of RMB, even if the rest of the 100 richest people in mainland China are tied together, no one has much money.
Power?
joke! Have you ever seen an apprentice say to a master in the industry, can I give you power? What's more, Ma Yun really couldn't get it out!
Beauty?
This is even more nonsense, how could such a thing be involved in commercial activities? That's an insult!
After much deliberation, Ma Yun fell into anxiety and boredom.
However, he deserves to be born with great talent and crooked talent.
Since he couldn't think of any solution, Ma Yun simply put it aside for the time being, and waited until he figured out a solution or had some good opportunity.
Among other things, the situation of the economic crisis in the United States alone is not very good.
If I can get 20% of the stocks from my hands, it doesn't matter if I want Xiao Qi's 30% or not. Anyway, I don't care who he is, and I will issue additional diluted shares as usual!
Hmph, although your investment vision is very good, but my advantage is not so easy to take advantage of! !
PS:
Regarding the origin of Taobao and the situation at that time, Xiucai collected more detailed information. I hope it can add some talking points for the brothers after dinner. By the way, I would like to sigh, Shi Yuzhu’s children’s shoes, who wanted to make the Giant Group the number one in Asia, was a tragedy. At first, they just wanted to keep their own Alibaba’s basic plate, Ma Yun’s children’s shoes, but because of Taobao’s success, life is so wonderful, it’s really interesting!
