Chapter 1576 Frustration

As the most rational analysis, Ma Yun thinks that Xiao Qi got the shares of Alibaba Company not only to share the wealth brought by Taobao.com, but also to control the Alibaba Group.

But because of his fluke mentality, Ma Yun never thought about it in this direction. He thought that if he gave some more money, he would be able to satisfy Xiao Qi and take back his shares?

As a result, I now know that Xiao Qi's ambition is bigger than he thought, and he just wants to swallow the rhythm of the Alibaba Group!

Thinking about it, the entire Alibaba Group is only 40 to 50 billion now, Xiao Qi’s property is at least 20 to 30 times that of the Alibaba Group, and the cash flow in his hands is frighteningly large, how could he covet his own Two or three billion yuan? International joke! ?

Thinking of this, Ma Yun inevitably felt a sense of grief and indignation: I have worked hard for more than ten years, and finally brought down such a country, and it will get better and better, but there is such a vicious tiger who wants to annex it. My career, is really too much!

Ma Yun's thoughts are not easy to express on his face, because he knows that the person standing in front of him is not a company employee who allows him to give orders, but one of the top people in the world's business world. If the scope of this business world is limited to Huaguo, that "one" can be removed without dispute.

"Qi Shao, Alibaba has its own ideals and goals, and it is not suitable for outsiders to determine its trend." Ma Yun looked at Xiao Qi with incomparable determination and determination on his face.

"I agree." Xiao Qi nodded lightly.

"But... um!?"

Ma Yun's prepared rebuttal words completely collapsed under the "I agree".

He was a little confused all of a sudden.

Xiao Qi doesn't want to buy Alibaba Group?

But how could he put up the logo of Alibaba in his record room?

"For me, there are many ways to own a company." Xiao Qi saw his doubts and explained. "President Ma, have you heard of LinkedIn?"

"I know! This is an American professional social networking site, very professional." Ma Yun said straightforwardly, although Ma Yun is only doing online business, he is not unfamiliar with Internet technology at all, even if LinkedIn is not like the later generations famous. But he also knows.

"His current CEO and chairman are both the original founders. Not only did they retain a certain amount of their own shares, but I also promise that if they do well, there will be continuous incentive policies for shares." Xiao Qi said flatly, "If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse. I understand this. I never thought of letting people make money for me for nothing."

Ma Yun's mind immediately turned. He is speaking more and more slowly now, because it is easy to say the wrong thing if he is not careful.

Confronting Xiao Qi is really like walking on thin ice.

"Qi Shao, is this your promise to Alibaba?" Ma Yun tentatively asked, "If we do well, will the shares in your hand be fed back to the management as a reward?"

"I haven't finished what I just said." Xiao Qi didn't answer, but continued: "But in Huaguo. I hate this kind of equity incentive behavior the most. President Ma, do you know why?"

Ma Yun didn't know how many times his heart sank today. Feeling bad, but could only follow his tone and ask: "Why?"

"Because Huaguo's management is the most lacking in professional ethics." Xiao Qi's tone was a little stronger, "If you hand over a company to them, you will find that all the high-quality assets of this company have been lost. , and then went bankrupt directly. But these high-level executives took over the company's service area again with the wealth they plundered from this company in various ways, and handed over the entire market to them.

This is not the case in advanced economies. Even if he is the founder, even if his stake turns out to be very small, these people can still be loyal to the company. Shareholders who are loyal to the entire enterprise... Yang Zhiyuan was dismissed from the CEO position several times in Yahoo, and Qiao Gang was even kicked out directly, but I have never heard that they retaliated against the company because of this, and took the company's wealth into their pockets.

But if they can do this, it doesn't mean that we can do this. Huaguo's company executives have always respected the concept of 'family world'. It is precisely because of their various behaviors that I cannot trust the so-called elites in China! Mr. Ma, if it were you, would you dare to trust them so much? "

Ma Yun's face sank like water.

He knew that Xiao Qi was beating himself.

Although he didn't know why, he sensed Xiao Qi's distrust of him.

That's right.

Xiao Qi admires Ma Yun's talent, but he can't understand some of his selfish behaviors.

For example, the "Zifubao equity transfer incident" that caused a lot of trouble in later generations.

Because Huaguo’s central bank stipulates that mobile payment licenses do not allow foreign capital to hold shares, Ma Yun took the opportunity to transfer Zifubao, which has grown to a value of at least 30 billion U.S. dollars, directly to a company under the name of which he is the absolute majority shareholder.

This time, the hornet's nest was stabbed. For a while, the entire European and American investment institutions criticized this, claiming that they no longer believed in Huaguo's companies, and even once refused Huaguo's IPO listing in the United States.

The development of Zifubao was originally formed along with Taobao.com, and the resources used by both are from the Alibaba Group. Since two foreign-funded institutions hold shares in it, why do you say that you take away such an important thing? Just take it away?

In fact, Ma Yun’s behavior was correct. At that time, Yahoo held 40% of Alibaba’s shares, SoftBank Group held 29%, and Ma Yun and other management companies only held 31%. This is a company with absolute foreign holdings.

It is understandable that Zifubao withdrew from the Alibaba Group in response to the national policy, otherwise the central bank would definitely sanction Zifubao.

However, if Ma Yun didn't look so ugly and gave Yahoo and Softbank some more cash, or even share compensation, then this matter would be over, and there wouldn't be such a big fuss at all.

But Ma Yun just took Zifubao directly, and only compensated a small amount of money. This kind of thing is obviously not done by smart people, which makes many people puzzled. Even Xiao Qi wondered if it was theirs. There was some kind of agreement in the dark.

However, this matter is not a matter of this life after all. Once Yahoo gets 40% of the shares, Alibaba Group will belong to Xiao Qi. , then Ma Yun will not have any chance to transfer the shares of Fubao.

After a while, Ma Yun pondered and said: "In Huaguo, maybe the business rules are not so legal, but the necessary trust is still necessary. If it were me, I would strictly supervise on the basis of trust, and would not let They have the opportunity to make mistakes. And as the second largest shareholder, you can also strictly supervise us."

After a pause, he directly stated the purpose of today, "But if possible, I still want to represent the Alibaba Group and buy your shares. As long as it is a price that Ma Yun can afford, you Just open your mouth!"

Ma Yun is a representative of a series of businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, he can use shares as collateral to borrow tens of billions.

Xiao Qi smiled, "I also want to say this to Mr. Ma. In this way, if you quote a price, how much are you willing to sell for 30% of your management's shares? I will not bargain."

Good guy!

Ma Yun inevitably felt jealousy in his heart.

This is the rich man!

Look at his tone, he didn't raise the price at all, but he was afraid that Xiao Qi would open his mouth and said "an affordable price", the two spirits were divided immediately.

Amidst the emotions, Ma Yun did not forget to refuse: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qi, we have a lot of affection for Alibaba and we will not sell our shares."

"Similarly, I have great confidence in Mr. Ma, so I won't sell it." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "You can buy it if you want, 20 billion US dollars, the price is the same."

"Uh……"

Ma Yun couldn't help swallowing, "Qi Shao, are you joking?"

"I'm not joking." Xiao Qi looked at him and said, "Conversely, as long as you are willing to sell me the shares, 20 billion US dollars, the money will fall into your account."

Ma Yun swallowed again, but beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Xiao Qi valued the Alibaba Group at 66.7 billion US dollars, which is unique, and now the Alibaba Group has not even reached 66.7 billion yuan!

If he gets 20 billion US dollars, Ma Yun will have more than 12 billion US dollars in his own hands. Converted into RMB, it will be about 90 billion. There is absolutely no pressure to run three Alibabas!

However, Ma Yun is very human after all, he hesitated for only a moment, and he immediately returned to his senses, "I'm sorry, Qi Shao, we want to do business, not just to make money."

"Well, you can do it!" Xiao Qi smiled and said, "If you want to use me for something, you can ask Mr. Ma. If nothing else, the funds are enough!"

No wonder I would ask you for money!

Asking for money means dilution of shares, can I do this?

Ma Yun also had a deep sense of frustration from this.

It is really difficult to talk about shopping with the richest man in the world!

People's money is enough to smash Alibaba to death, so who cares about what conditions?

But at the same time, Ma Yun knew that Xiao Qi was very optimistic about Alibaba Group, otherwise he would not have given a super high valuation of 66.7 billion US dollars.

If the Alibaba Group was not Ma Yun's lifelong career, and Ma Yun's longing for the future, he would have signed the equity transfer agreement at this moment.

It seems that we can only find opportunities in the future!

The moment Ma Yun got out of the headquarters of Fairy Company by car, Ma Yun secretly clenched his fists.

I won't admit defeat!

There can only be one ruler of Alibaba!

that's me! ! (to be continued..)

ps:  9000 words! Suddenly found that there are two more guardians, and there will be more tomorrow. It's not easy, it's all thanks to the little by little accumulation of the brothers to have the current results!
