Chapter 1681: Decision

If you are dealing with Xu Shengzhe, you still need to talk about interests.

Between that and Hu Xiaorui, there is no such trouble.

Universal Building.

As soon as Li Dongren arrived, Hu Xiaorui sent someone to talk to Yuanfang before he even spoke.

Dongxing's acquisition of Dashang's stock was originally for Li Dong.

As for money, Hu Xiaorui hardly talked about money with Li Dong.

Entrepreneurs like Li Dong often say they don't care about money, but they really don't care.

I really want to take advantage of these people, even for a dime, these guys will compare with you.

As for Hu Xiaorui, she really didn't care much.

The fact that the Hu family is rich is one thing, and another key point is that Hu Xiaorui has never been troubled by money since she was a child, and she doesn't have to worry about wealth inheritance.

Hu Xiaorui knew from a young age that the wealth of the Hu family belonged to her.

No one can take it away!

When she was a child, many people thought she was a fool. Relatives such as the Sun family and the Hu family had never made up their minds.

The Sun family even wanted to take back the wealth several times.

But the Hu family's couple are not good at dealing with trouble, whoever reaches out will be unlucky.

The Sun family is a bit more difficult to deal with. On the Hu family's side, anyone who wants to make Hu Ming's wealth will end badly.

A woman who doesn't worry about money, a woman who knows from a young age that the wealth of the family is her, it is difficult to generate any motivation for money.

So Li Dong and the others said that they don't care about money, that's a face-saving statement.

But Hu Xiaorui, unless all the wealth of the Hu family is deprived now, otherwise, she really doesn't care much.

He casually asked people to handle the handover, and didn't talk to Li Dong about the money.

...

Don't talk about money, Hu Xiaorui doesn't want to talk about business with Li Dong either.

Li Dong asked a few questions about TVB,

Hu Xiaorui gave perfunctory answers.

In fact, Hu Xiaorui doesn't like to meet Li Dong and only talk about business matters. In the past, he only found something to talk about when he didn't have a topic. When he had a topic, Hu Xiaorui didn't care much about business matters.

After a few words, Li Dong stopped asking.

Just when Li Dong felt that there was nothing to talk about, Hu Xiaorui suddenly asked: "Li Dong, am I pretty?"

Li Dong stared at her for a while, then coughed lightly and said, "It's okay."

"good?"

Hu Xiaorui was not very satisfied with this answer.

Feeling narcissistic, Hu Xiaorui touched her cheek, and said to herself: "I think I'm pretty, with a good figure and a good temperament..."

What she boasted made Li Dong a little dumbfounded.

Doesn't this woman blush even when she brags?

Blushing rarely happened to Hu Xiaorui.

But after boasting herself, Hu Xiaorui still blushed slightly, not because of boasting, but because of the next topic.

After boasting to herself, Hu Xiaorui blushed and said with some embarrassment: "Li Dong, I want a baby..."

Li Dong's face was a little stiff, and he said dryly: "Why are you telling me this?"

Hu Xiaorui rolled his eyes at him, with an expression that you understand.

Li Dong's face became more and more stiff, Hu Xiaorui saw that he didn't speak, and immediately said a little annoyed: "I didn't let you suffer, what's your attitude!

I used to think you were a saint, or something wrong with your body.

Compared to that big stallion Xu Shengzhe, you are like a saint in this.

But this time going north, you and Yuan Xue had sex every day, so I realized that men are all virtuous!

That being the case, what if I want a baby! "

Li Dong's face turned green, full of embarrassment.

Hu Xiaorui snorted and said, "I should have known a long time ago that there is no cat that doesn't steal.

As soon as you come to me, you pretend to be a saint. I thought you really didn't like women, but men.

Originally, I thought, maybe I will be alone for the rest of my life.

But this time you and Yuan Xue..."

Li Dong hurriedly interrupted: "No such thing!"

"cut!"

Hu Xiaorui looked contemptuous, and said contemptuously: "I'm not your wife, so I don't bother to care about your affairs.

Anyway, I know that you are a normal man and dare to do stealthy things, that's enough.

Anyway, I don't care, I want a baby.

Otherwise, I will recognize Xiao Shitou as my daughter. Anyway, you can choose one or the other, and you choose yourself.

A big man, coy, more mother-in-law than a woman..."

Li Dong's face turned green, is this the mother's fault?

Just when he was thinking about how to answer, Hu Xiaorui said again: "Forget it, if there is a first time, there will be a second time. Since you are healthy, it will be a matter of time..."

Li Dong looked at her extremely heroic expression and was a little speechless.

...

The conversation with Hu Xiaorui did not last long.

Li Dong couldn't bear her boldness, and almost ran away in embarrassment.

When he returned to East Garden, Li Dong calmed down slightly.

But when he saw Shen Qian's playful expression, Li Dong felt a little helpless.

These women are all very smart.

If you don't say something, it doesn't mean no one knows.

Li Dong took Yuan Xue all the way north, and Hu Xiaorui knew about it, but wouldn't Shen Qian know?

But if Li Dong didn't mention it, and Shen Qian didn't mention it, the matter was over.

...

Rested at home for the day.

On November 18, Yuanfang held a press conference.

At the press conference, Li Dong announced several things, which caused a great sensation!

Everyone knows about the big merchants holding placards in the distance.

Everyone knows that Li Dong went to Dashang on Double Eleven. At that time, Li Dong said that Dashang’s signboard was not good-looking. Many people thought that Li Dong should win Dashang.

But at the scene, it wasn't until Li Dong announced that everyone knew that Dashang was just one of Yuanfang's gains this time!

Huarun directly packaged and sold Huachuang to Yuanfang!

Huachuang is not just China Resources Vanguard, including companies such as Snow Beer and Ng Fung Hong, which have been sold as a whole.

In addition to Huachuang, Wushanglian has also become a holding company in the distance.

Even Gaoxin and Yuanfang have held shares, and the shareholding ratio has reached 15%.

Now, Yuanfang is negotiating the remaining shares with Runtai. Once Auchan has no solution, Yuanfang will hold 49% of Sun Art.

Can a company whose competitors control nearly half of its shares cause any harm to competitors?

Obviously, none exist.

Either Auchan will follow Yuanfang, or he will have to divest.

To hang out with Yuanfang is to seek skin from a tiger. Li Dong cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. Huaxia is not Auchan's base camp, so it is not impossible to be swallowed by Yuanfang.

...

The press conference is over.

The entire Chinese business community was shaken.

In an instant, more than half of Huaxia's retail giants disappeared.

Gao Xin is no longer a concern, and Dashang, Huarun, and Wushanglian have all become members of the distant place.

Today, there are only three retail giants in China, Surin, Bailian, and Wal-Mart.

And Wal-Mart is now in a state of being besieged on all sides.

In China, Yuanfang has become a golden sign that everyone blindly trusts. Once Yuanfang stores around Wal-Mart open, can Wal-Mart continue to persist?

...

Lin'an.

Ma Yun looked at the people in the conference room, and said slowly: "It's time for us to make a decision.

The distance is unstoppable, and there is no longer any doubt about the offline battle.

Wal-Mart is unable to fight back, even if it has, it will not invest in China on a large scale.

Distant ambitions are well known.

If we continue to compete with distant places, even Wal-Mart will be hurt. After all, Wal-Mart is not a local company and cannot compete with distant places.

Just like in the distance, it is not so easy to enter the United States to develop a supermarket chain.

Not surprisingly, Wal-Mart may soon withdraw from China.

On Gaoxin's side, Yuanfang controlled half of the shares. Auchan would either withdraw or compromise with Yuanfang, honestly letting Yuanfang manipulate him without any doubts.

Su Lin is a home appliance chain, and Yuanfang's home appliance chain business is not too strong. Su Lin still has room to survive.

However, no matter how Su Lin develops, it will be difficult to go beyond the distance. I am not too optimistic about the future prospects.

Bailian... don't mention it. "

Speaking of Bailian, Ma Yun shook his head.

Bailian still had great ambitions before, and bought Yonghui and Nongshang, wanting to compete with Yuanfang.

But in the later period, the Cheng family gave up, and Bailian lost his fighting spirit, and remained silent until now.

Up to now, Yuanfang has won several giants in China, and Huarun has voluntarily given up the retail business. Bailian has many restrictions, and there is almost no hope of competing with Yuanfang.

After briefly talking about the situation for a while, Ma Yun continued: "Yuanfang has no offline opponents, and its online performance is getting stronger and stronger.

Although Dibao also wants to save the situation recently, everyone has also seen that the distance now covers up the light of all platforms.

A large number of Taobao merchants settled in Wanjia.com, and the user base continued to lose.

These days, our performance is getting worse and worse.

If this continues, one year later, I am afraid that we will be pulled down by ten times the gap.

If you don’t want to be left behind too far, you can only increase investment and carry out layout transformation..."

The others were speechless, and the director of Yahoo frowned slightly and said, "Is it worth investing in Treasure now?

Yuanfang is too strong and hardly gives other platforms room to survive.

After finally suppressing Treasure, we will not give us a chance to revive.

If we continue to fight, no matter how much money we burn, I am afraid that Yuan Fang will not give up, this kind of meaningless investment..."

Lu Zhaoxi frowned and said, "Now that we increase investment in Treasure, we still have hope.

Dibao has a large number of user resources in China and Asia.

For online shopping platforms, users are fundamental.

Now the loss of users is because our user experience is not as good as that of Yuanfang, and the customer service, after-sales service, and logistics are not as good as Yuanfang.

As long as we make changes and get closer to the distance, these users will come back again.

Increase investment in the mobile terminal, and Dibao will not die.

In China, and in the world, e-commerce still has great potential for development, especially the rapid development of mobile Internet.

We're focused on growing our mobile strategy..."

Before he finished speaking, the director of Yahoo interrupted: "President Lu, according to your assumption, the investment may not be low.

And we are developing, is there no progress in the distance?

In this regard, I still know that Yuanfang has almost no hesitation in spending money after receiving 300 billion funds.

Yuanfang has already made a layout on the mobile terminal. If we follow Yuanfang's footsteps, it may be difficult to have a chance to surpass it.

In the IT industry, one step behind is no longer a gap.

In my opinion, it is not worth the candle to make a large investment in Taobao.

Moreover, Ali currently has limited profits and limited funds, and there is no way to continue to compete with Yuanfang.

At this time, the most appropriate solution is to give up digging treasures and shift the focus. "

Lu Zhaoxi frowned again, Ma Yun pressed his hand, looked at the crowd and said, "Do you think we will continue to compete, or give up?"

Everyone was a little hesitant, and if they continue to invest in Treasure, they may not have no chance.

But on the one hand, Ali does not have that much capital, and on the other hand, he continues to invest and has to face the distance, so everyone is a little timid psychologically.

In addition, Yahoo did not agree, Softbank did not speak out, and it was difficult for others to make a decision for a while.

Upon seeing this, Ma Yun said: "If we continue to do treasure hunting, there is still hope.

Li Dong is not a saint, nor are people from afar, who cannot be perfect.

As long as the opponent makes a strategic mistake and the gap between us and the opponent is not too big, we have the opportunity to turn defeat into victory and surpass the distance.

But in terms of time, I can't predict how long it will take.

Moreover, if you want to keep up with the rhythm of the distant place, you will have to invest a lot, and you don't have to think about the profit from digging treasures for the time being...

The other is to give up the online shopping business!

Now, there is little hope of anyone else taking over.

Even if someone is willing, the bid will not be too high. Our best choice is Yuanfang.

Li Dong is not stingy, and he will not deliberately lower the price. We are willing to sell Tiaobao, and he will happily accept it.

Whether to continue or sell, there should be a clear decision now.

Once it continues to drag on, our resources will be lost. At that time, Yuanfang may not be willing to continue to take over. "

Yahoo's director heard the words and said: "I mean, give up digging treasure!"

Ma Yun didn't say anything, but looked at the others and said, "What about you?"

"Give up, Yuanfang is now in full swing, if it continues, it will seriously hinder the development of our other industries.

Now, almost all of Ali's funds have been invested in order to pay for the treasure.

Big data business, cloud computing business, including B2B business, now lack funds for development.

It is now more beneficial to Ali’s development to sell Treasure to return part of the funds to expand other industries. "

"..."

Everyone in the conference room expressed their opinions one after another.

Most people are in favor of giving up, and a few people feel that they can wait.

Finally, everyone's eyes turned to Ma Yun.

Without hesitation, Ma Yun said: "In that case, let's sell Treasure.

In April, Li Dong offered $10 billion.

Of course, at that time he was mostly bluffing, and we knew whether the treasure was worth 10 billion U.S. dollars.

Now, the status of Dibao has plummeted, and the gap between Wanjia.com and Dibao is not big.

Even if we add the logistics and warehousing system we invested in in the later stage, and package them together and sell them to distant places, the value may not be too high. "

There is no objection to that, it is what it is.

The value of digging treasures in the peak period is naturally not the same as it is now.

Seeing this, Ma Yun said again: "I'll test Li Dong later, let the news about the sale be released, don't take the initiative to contact the distant place.

I would prefer to sell Dibao to Amazon if I could.

It's a pity that Amazon probably doesn't have the courage to do C2C business under Li Dong's eyes..."

After saying a few words, Ma Yun announced the adjournment of the meeting.

There was little opposition to the decision to sell Touto.

This is also the smoothest high-level meeting held by Ma Yun in recent years.

Seeing everyone leave one after another, Ma Yun sighed suddenly, shook his head and said: "I was scared by Li Dong, and lost my vigor.

I see a lot of people feeling relieved, this feeling is indescribable. "

His old partner Cai Chongxin smiled lightly: "It's not just them, actually even I feel a little relieved.

This is also human nature. Facing Li Dong, who has no pressure?

Especially now, offline has almost been unified by Yuanfang.

In the past, if there were still people holding Yuanfang offline, making Yuanfang dare not go all out against us, now there are no more.

The pressure to find treasure will only increase.

Selling out treasure now, I think it is also the right choice. "

Ma Yun shook his head, did not continue this topic, and lowered his voice: "Now is Ali's lowest period.

It is also the best time to get rid of Yahoo!

Ali was frustrated and lost all energy.

At this time, they are probably thinking of quitting.

That being the case, let them quit.

This is also the best time for us to get back the controlling stake..."

Cai Chongxin knew about this, but after thinking about it, he said, "What about Softbank?"

Softbank has always supported Ali, even if he was not too satisfied with Lao Ma's decision this time, he did not strongly oppose it.

Get rid of Yahoo, that is a must.

On Softbank's side, Cai Chongxin hesitated.

Ma Yun was silent for a moment, and then said after a while: "Wait a minute, let's solve Yahoo's problem first.

If Softbank does not take the initiative to propose, we will continue to accept it.

If they have the idea themselves, let him quit.

The funds from Dibao’s sale were mainly used to repurchase Yahoo’s shares.

Yahoo holds 39% of the shares. Even now, if you want them to withdraw, it may not be enough without 8 billion US dollars. "

Cai Chongxin smiled wryly: "Do you think Li Dong will pay $8 billion for Treasure?"

Ma Yun snorted coldly: "Including our logistics, warehousing, Tmall, AliExpress... 8 billion US dollars, I think it's no problem!

If Li Dong really wants to ask for a price that is too low, I will keep fighting with him!

More than that, although I gave up digging treasures, I did not give up Internet finance.

It is also my condition that Alipay will enter Yuanfang Mall. "

Cai Chongxin glanced at him and said helplessly, "I don't have much hope."

Ma Yun waved his hand and said: "You are wrong, 8 billion US dollars is difficult, but it is not difficult for Alipay to settle in Yuanfang Mall."

"First, we are no longer an online shopping platform, so we don't pose much threat to Yuanfang.

Second, Li Dong also knows that his family dominates other industries, and the problem is not serious.

But in the Internet financial industry, he wants to dominate the Internet financial industry, which is impossible.

Without Alipay, other platforms will rise.

Instead of cheaper other people, it is better to pay Alipay cheaper. After all, users who pay for Alipay are used to paying with Alipay.

So, I'm still sure about that. "

Cai Chongxin thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's true, but with this condition, I'm afraid..."

Cai Chongxin said in a low voice: "The additional condition for selling Tiaobao is this. I'm afraid Softbank will also leave."

Ma Yun didn't say anything, Alipay does not belong to Ali now, but belongs to Ali's management, and has nothing to do with the major shareholders.

At this time, Ma Yun used Alipay's entry as a condition, which probably made the shareholders who were already dissatisfied with the divestiture of the Internet financial business even more dissatisfied.

If Softbank wants to divest at that time, the possibility will increase greatly.

Seeing that Ma Yun didn't speak, Cai Chongxin knew what he meant, and didn't say anything more.

PS: Sorry, there is only one update, and my head is blank...
