Chapter 1474 Never Willing to Be Lonely

Being stared at by everyone, Li Dong was not nervous and said indifferently, "Why are you looking at me like that?

I invest in Treasure, is there a problem?

It is said that friendship comes first and competition comes second.

Let's compete for competition. When did I fail to help you?

Before your merchants wanted to knock you down, it was not me, Li Dong, who stood up and spoke for you.

Your courier is not enough, I deliberately stopped my business, and let our Yuanfang express enter your treasure, isn't it to help you out?

Now you are short of money again. After privatization, Ali has become an empty shell. I can't stand it anymore. I will help you and raise a sum of money for you. It is also for your own good.

I, Li Dong, for the sake of my friends, really do something wrong..."

"Li Dong!"

Ma Yun gritted his teeth, and said a little annoyed: "Speak as you say, don't insinuate!"

Now Li Dong was unhappy, and said dissatisfied: "Why did I insinuate?

Say it yourself, is what I said true?

Do you Ali still have money now?

Are the courier companies you cooperate with raising their prices now, or even suspending some of them?

Before your merchant wanted to knock you down, did I just help you get justice?

Although I don't take the credit, you can't really forget the help I gave you, don't you think? "

Ma Yun wanted to say more, but Cai Chongxin interrupted with a smile: "I have to thank Mr. Li for his generous help, we will remember this kindness.

But today is our financing, Mr. Li, do you want to have a drink first and then chat? "

Li Dong said that Ali is a typical example of ungratefulness.

Moreover, Li Dong said again and again that Ali had no money, this guy was out of his mind.

Li Dong saw that the group of people in Ali were all looking at him, obviously looking like he would drive you out if you said anything more, so he stepped forward and sighed: "Okay, I won't say anything, if you are so rude to investors, who would dare to invest in the future?" .”

These words once again deeply stimulated Ma Yun and the others!

It sounds like Li Dong is talking about himself,

But in fact, isn't it a question of taking the opportunity to map Yahoo?

Obviously, they were not the only ones who thought this way, some people from the investment bank obviously thought of this, and for a while, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

It is not the first time that Ma Yun has seized power in Ali.

There was also a very unpleasant quarrel with Yahoo, the major shareholder.

Investment banks invest money to make money, not to get angry. If they can make money, it's okay to be angry, but Ali...it's hard to say.

Their biggest opponent is right next to them now.

...

After the other executives entered the banquet hall with everyone, Ma Yun stood outside, took a deep breath and said, "Say, what exactly does Li Dong want to do?"

Cai Chongxin frowned and said: "On the one hand, he may want to cause us some trouble, but I guess, his intention to make trouble should not be heavy, and the meaning of joking is more important.

Another point, I think he came this time, probably to help. "

"help?"

Ma Yun pondered for a moment and said: "I know him, maybe you are right.

It is very likely that he wanted to be a trustee, elevate the status of the online shopping platform, and pave the way for the future of Yuanfang Mall.

But if this is the case, this guy is too rampant.

Does he think he's got me?

It's hard to say who got cheaper in the end.

Once we have raised enough funds, we will not lose to them in any way compared to technology, talent, innovation, influence, and users!

And with money, we can take this opportunity to fully develop the logistics system that we have not been able to roll out before.

In the end, he is likely to lose! "

Cai Chongxin sighed lightly: "Maybe, he doesn't care at all?

He always thinks that the winner takes all. He just wants to be a winner. If he loses, he will give up. If he wins, the whole market will be under his control. Do you think he cares about this risk? "

Ma Yun was silent for a moment, nodded and said nothing, and stepped into the banquet hall.

...

At the reception, Ali announced the financing plan.

In fact, each company has already obtained the plan.

Including Li Dong's side, he actually got the plan.

Ali plans to raise 1 billion U.S. dollars this time, with Dibao as the main body.

Of course, Taobao does not mean just Taobao.com, including Tmall Mall, including Taobao Wangwang, and even AliExpress, which is not yet online, which is the international version of Taobao as everyone calls it.

Because Juhuasuan Dibao has not yet been created, this time it is not counted.

In general, the scope covered this time is relatively large.

Ali's current business, except for this big part, there is also B2B business, and Alipay plus cloud computing, which has not yet risen, and almost all the rest are included.

Ali wants to use these businesses to raise US$1 billion, which is not much.

In 2007, Ali's B2B business was launched. At its peak, the market value was close to 28 billion US dollars.

Now Ali's C2C plus B2C plans to raise 1 billion US dollars, which is actually nothing compared to it.

But the key is not to look at how much money is raised, but how much equity Dibao plans to sell!

According to Ali's plan, the total share capital of Treasure is divided into 1 billion shares, and the share capital used for financing is 100 million shares!

In other words, Ali is going to use 10% of the shares of Dibao in exchange for 1 billion US dollars in financing!

To convert it again, that is to say, after the financing, the valuation of Dibao will reach 10 billion US dollars!

This plan is obviously a nonsense plan. Even Li Dong was a little confused when he knew about this plan. Lao Ma is even less reliable than him.

But now the industry is used to their big fools, anyway, it's right to brag vigorously.

As for the specific plan, that still needs to be discussed.

10 billion U.S. dollars is equivalent to the current value of 9 billion U.S. dollars, which is obviously unacceptable to everyone.

Even Li Dong, a big fool, didn't dare to call the price when Yuanfang Mall sold shares to Teng Xun.

As soon as Ali's plan was announced, each company began to negotiate with Ali's executives.

And Ma Yun was surrounded by many people.

It is not necessarily necessary to negotiate today, and generally it will not reach an agreement so quickly. A reception is usually held to confirm the shortlisted investment institutions.

Li Dong was so fast, because he had already made up his mind, and the other party also had a tacit understanding, so it was so fast, and he finished it directly at the reception.

...

Ma Yun was talking to everyone when he saw Li Dong walking over with a wine glass.

When the others saw Li Dong, they also stepped aside.

As soon as Li Dong arrived, he didn't need to be greeted by others, he just smiled and said: "Old Ma, we are so familiar, I won't be polite to you.

Almost everyone present knew me, Li Dong, and had dealt with me.

As you all know, I'm a straight talker and a quick fixer.

Since I am a VC today, I should be more straightforward.

I want your 100 million share capital.

1 billion US dollars is impossible, 2.5 billion yuan is almost the same.

It is equivalent to valuing your current treasure at 22.5 billion yuan, which is not low.

Your performance has not increased much this year, and it was still greatly affected in the first quarter.

In the first quarter of 2009, the total sales amounted to 40 billion, including 36 billion from Taobao and 4 billion from Tmall. Although there was some impact during the Spring Festival, winter is the peak season, and 40 billion is not too much.

In this way, even if some activities are included in the whole year, it will be around 200 billion.

C2C is still your mainstream, and it should account for about 90%, which is still under the premise of the impact of our Wanjia.com.

To put it bluntly, the total performance of Yuanfang in the first quarter reached 48 billion, of which C2C was only about 5 billion, but B2C performance reached 43 billion!

Even in Yuanfang Mall, I didn't dare to charge too high a price.

You take out treasures, I will give you a quotation of 22.5 billion, not low, right? "

Ma Yun's face was ugly, he stared at him and said: "Li Dong, that's not the way we talk about things, Dibao occupies 80% of the C2C market.

And it’s not just a C2C platform, Taobao is now the largest retail circle in Asia…”

Li Dong interrupted: "Don't mention this, the biggest business district is Yuanfang, you are in the past tense, why embarrass yourself."

"you!"

"All right, all right, 23 billion, what do you think?"

"I'm not a vegetable market!"

Ma Yun was really annoyed, what exactly does this guy want to do?

Although he guessed that Li Dong was here to act as a trustee, but no matter how he looked at it now, there was a hint of trouble in it.

Li Dong shrugged and said helplessly, "I bid sincerely, but I'm just too lazy to argue slowly with you..."

"I don't know how to raise money for a company. Do you understand financing? Do you think that I invite everyone here just to introduce you from afar?"

It doesn't matter whether Li Dong is sincere or not, and whether the price is really right, but if he wants to make a round by himself, no matter how high the price is, Ma Yun has to think it through.

Li Dong suddenly said at this time: "I know what you mean, but Ma, today in front of the two CEOs of Softbank and Yahoo, I will speak clearly if I have something to say.

My financing is false, and I want to acquire Toutbao.

It's boring if you insist on burning money with me, and you don't know who is cheaper in the end.

I know that you want to take back Ali's controlling stake now, but you don't have the money to let them withdraw.

The bank will not give you too much loan, after all, you don't have any industrial projects to mortgage.

Yahoo previously offered a price of 12 billion US dollars to let you buy back shares, which is a high price.

Even if Mr. Yang is here, I would say the same.

But even if it doesn't cost 12 billion US dollars, I think Ali's 39% stake is still worth 10 billion US dollars.

You have no money to repurchase, and Ali has no money, including Softbank, and will not pay this money!

But as long as you agree to sell the treasure, I, Li Dong, will pay the money! "

"boom!"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people could not be quiet at all.

10 billion US dollars to buy Treasure!

At this time, Li Dong actually came up with such an idea, which surprised everyone.

Is $10 billion high?

According to Ali's calculations, even if they yelled a lot, the valuation of Dibao at this time is actually only 9 billion US dollars.

In fact, this price is impossible to deal with.

5 billion - 6 billion US dollars is almost the limit, and the possibility of success is unlikely.

But Li Dong actually said that it would be acquired for 10 billion US dollars, and this premium is a bit scary.

Is Li Dong stupid?

He is not stupid!

Once Yuanfang merged with Di Bao, it would be terrifying.

With Yuanfang's momentum, this year's online shopping is likely to reach 300 billion in revenue, and if Dibao can reach 200 billion, then the two will merge, and Yuanfang will take over the other party's merchants, platforms, channels, and users...

That almost unified the entire online shopping market!

Revenue is likely to exceed the 500 billion mark in the end!

Of course, this is revenue, not profit, especially about half of which is C2C performance.

But how terrifying is an online shopping platform that dominates China, an online platform with a revenue of 500 billion yuan, at this time?

In 2008, Amazon, the world's largest online shopping platform, was regarded as a B2C platform, with a performance of 20 billion US dollars.

In fact, Yuanfang Mall was a little worse than the other party last year.

The market value of the other party reached more than 20 billion U.S. dollars last year.

Once Li Dong unifies the entire Chinese online shopping platform, excluding C2C performance, he will surpass Amazon in B2C performance and become the world's largest B2C platform.

And with the addition of C2C performance, Yuanfang is the world's largest online shopping platform, and it deserves to be number one.

Based on the current performance of Amazon as a standard, after Yuanfang Mall integrates with Taobao, it will hardly be difficult to build an e-commerce platform with a market value of more than 50 billion US dollars.

Li Dong is now spending 10 billion US dollars to acquire Dibao, which is not necessarily a loss.

The main thing is to see what impact Dibao has on their industry supplements.

The number one in the world is not just a joke.

Especially on the side of Dibao, they are laying down a global online shopping platform system, which is currently unmatched by Yuanfang.

10 billion US dollars, if Yuanfang buys it, it should make money.

But for others, it will definitely lose money.

Moreover, it is impossible for others to bid this price.

Li Dong's words caused some commotion at the scene.

...

Cai Chongxin was talking with someone, when an Ali employee suddenly came beside him, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Cai, go and have a look, something has happened!"

Cai Chongxin's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Calm down!"

I didn't ask what happened, and there are outsiders around, so it's inappropriate to ask questions at this time.

But there was no need for him to ask, and soon someone beside him shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't stay here, go and have a look, Li Dong bid 10 billion US dollars, and he wants to buy Dibao!"

"What?"

"What's the situation? Why did it suddenly become an acquisition?"

"Isn't it financing?"

"Ali has the intention to sell Dibao?"

"I knew that Li Donglai would not be quiet, and sure enough, I guessed it!"

"..."

Everyone started talking.

Ding Lei who was not far away was also surprised: "This guy really never stops anywhere, where did he get the 10 billion US dollars to buy!"

More than 66 billion yuan, even if Ali agrees, does Li Dong have the money to buy it?

Although he said that he has a lot of wealth, in fact, Yuanfang can now provide more than 10 billion funds, and Ding Lei can be regarded as Li Dong's power.

Suddenly, Li Dong said that it would cost more than 60 billion to buy Toutao, and Ding Lei couldn't help being shocked.

Moreover, when did Treasure become worth so much money?

Not only Ding Lei was surprised, but everyone on the field was also surprised.

A group of people including Ali were dumbfounded at this moment.

Why did it suddenly become an acquisition of treasure?

Even if we talk about it, we should talk about it in private, but here suddenly, or in front of everyone, what does Li Dong want to do?

Cai Chongxin stopped asking questions at this time, and hurriedly walked towards Ma Yun.

Others followed suit.

And when they went up to inquire about the situation, Bai Su, who entered the arena with Li Dong, was also sweating profusely at this time.

Holding the phone in his hand, Bai Su was about to cry, and hurriedly said: "President Yuan, something happened!

Mr. Li suddenly told Mr. Ma at the Dibao financing reception that he would spend 10 billion US dollars to acquire Dibao..."

"What?"

"Mr. Li wants to buy Dibao for 10 billion US dollars!"

...

plain.

Holding the phone, Yuan Chengdao was dumbfounded and said, "Shouldn't this kind of plan be announced in advance?

What's more, where did we get 10 billion US dollars!

Not even $1 billion! "

After muttering, Yuan Chengdao said bitterly: "You keep in touch with us at any time, and I will take people there immediately, 10 billion US dollars, 10 billion US dollars, this...is a mess..."

Yuan Chengdao really felt a little messed up!

What exactly does Li Dong want to do?

Could it be that he really wants to integrate the entire online shopping market?

Will Ali agree?

Faced with the offensive from afar and the temptation of $100, Ma Yun may be firm, but what about the other two major shareholders?

Once Dibao loses to Yuanfang, then there is nothing left.

Now there is no need to burn money, it is sold directly, 10 billion US dollars, this price is not low.

And don't forget, just dig treasure, they also have Alipay, and B2B.

According to the previous peak market value, when these things are added together, it is more than 30 billion U.S. dollars. Adding Treasure, it is equivalent to the entire Ali, with a value of more than 40 billion U.S. dollars.

Four years ago, Yahoo spent US$1 billion in exchange for a 39% stake in Ali. At that time, the entire value of Ali was only about US$2.5 billion.

Now a single treasure can bring a 400% rate of return, is it worth it?

...

At the same time, many people have received the news.

In front of everyone, Li Dong wanted to spend 10 billion US dollars to acquire Pabao, which shocked the entire IT industry and the entire investment world!

10 billion US dollars in 2009, more than 66 billion yuan, is by no means a small amount.

And if Li Dong really completes this acquisition plan, China's online shopping market will really be unified by Li Dong.

Once online is unified, what about offline?

All of a sudden, the offline retail giants also started chatting.

They all want to know the progress of the matter, and they all want to know, will Ma Yun agree?

And it's not just Ma Yun who has the final say, what do Softbank and Yahoo think about it?

10 billion US dollars is definitely not low.

Amazon, a B2C platform, has more performance than Dibao, and its market value is only more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. The other party is still the world's number one.

The current Taobao has a big gap with Amazon, and there is a fierce opponent waiting for them.

Coupled with the fact that Amazon is already on the market, Dibao can actually have a value of 5 billion U.S. dollars, which is considered insane.

Li Dong's premium is almost doubled. At this price, it's hard to say whether Ma Yun is tempted, but the other two investors are definitely tempted!

In almost an instant, many people, even from abroad, turned their attention to Huaxia and Lin'an.

They all want to know, can Li Dong accomplish this goal?

I also want to know, will Ma Yun give up digging treasures and choose to concentrate on B2B business?

Even, they were still thinking, why did Li Dong choose to talk about the acquisition at this time, wouldn't it be better in private?

However, many people have realized that this is putting pressure on Ma Yun, putting pressure on Ali as a whole!

Because, their investors, the two shareholders, will most likely agree!
