Chapter 816: Ali Goes Public

On November 6th, it wasn't just the closing of Suguo's store.

The retail industry is concerned about the dispute between Suguo and Yuanfang, while others are more concerned about the listing of Ali!

On November 6, 2007, Alibaba went public in Hong Kong!

As soon as the market opened, Ali’s stock price reached 30 Hong Kong dollars per share.

Not long after, when the news of Suguo’s store closure spread far away, Ali’s share price had already broken through HK$40.

Based on the current stock price, Ali's market value has reached 200 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Among them, Lao Ma's personal net worth exceeds 7.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the other eighteen Arhats have net worths ranging from over 100 million to several billion.

In addition, Ali has created the largest gang of rich people in the domestic Internet industry, with over a thousand millionaires, hundreds of multi-millionaires, and dozens of billionaires.

Another point is that Ali has become the Internet company with the highest market value in China.

...

Li Dong himself didn't pay much attention to these news.

The reason why he knew this was because Shen Qian told him.

Shen Qian is the president of Yuanfang Mall, and she is more concerned about Ali's listing.

After Shen Qian finished speaking, Li Dong shook his head and said, "It's actually not a good time to choose to go public at this time. The other 200 billion is a bit empty. Ali is playing with fire."

Sometimes it's not that the higher the market value, the higher the market value, the higher the stock price, and only those capital institutions that really benefit.

Ali's stock price is so high this time, and its market value is so high, the traces of capital pushers are too obvious.

This time is not a few years later, Taobao and Alipay business have not reached that level.

200 billion Hong Kong dollars?

Tencent has been listed for so many years, and it is only about 80 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Can Ali surpass Tencent several times at this time?

Not to mention how many times, in real comparison, it would be good if the two sides could draw a tie.

Surpassing Tencent by several times all of a sudden, the reputation is good, and it feels like it is making money, but in fact it is all false.

Unless Lao Ma sells the company now, 200 billion is just a number.

Only those investors who are cashing out at this time, I am afraid that the higher the stock price, the better.

Later, Ali's stock price plummeted, and finally had to be delisted from the Hong Kong stock market, which also proved this point.

Don't look at the later generations of Ali, who are so awesome, they went public in the United States and achieved greater achievements.

But in fact, if it weren't for the breakthrough development of Taobao and Alipay, Ali's B2B business alone would not have reached that level.

Moreover, because of the delisting of the Hong Kong stock market, a large number of investors suffered heavy losses. Ali actually had a very difficult time during that time.

Li Dong didn't take it seriously, but Shen Qian reminded: "We naturally understand these things, but it doesn't mean that other people also understand.

Because of Alibaba's listing, we are probably the only large-scale Internet companies in China that are not listed.

This time Ali has achieved such brilliance, I think many people in the distance will be tempted. "

"Even if Yuanfang Mall wants to go public, it doesn't meet the requirements now. We have only been established for a long time. If you want to fly before you learn how to walk, don't bother with them."

Li Dong was a little impatient, frowned and said: "Besides, how much did people from far away contribute to Yuanfang Mall?

Without a corresponding contribution, do you think I will give them that much benefit?

Ali created tens of millions of millionaires this time, but they deserved it all.

These people are all veteran employees, and they have been working with the old horse almost since Ali started business, how many years has it been.

How many new employees can share this achievement?

It has only been more than a year since Yuanfang Mall was established, and the longest ones like Liu Hong have only worked for more than a year, and the shortest ones have been recruited recently.

As for Liu Hong and the others, their annual salary is not low, and their annual dividends and bonuses are more than one million.

Not greedy enough, turn around and give it a good beating. "

Li Dong is not a good boy, no matter how rich he is, he will not give it to others casually.

Seeing Ali's listing, Ali's employees have made money, and these people in the distance have dreamed of millions, Li Dong can only say that they think too much.

They have been working diligently with the old horse for seven or eight years, and most of them have been more than ten years. It is nothing to have this result now.

But what about the far side?

They wanted to make a lot of money just a few months after they came here, how could there be such a good thing for them in the world.

Shen Qian thought about it for a moment and said: "Beating is necessary, but you can't do it recklessly, it's better to draw some big cakes for them.

Later, I will discuss it with Mr. Yuan and come up with a reward plan.

We can use all of these lucrative things, such as options that can be obtained after working for more than three years.

After waiting for three years, who knows what will happen by then.

Anyway, we don't need to pay a penny, what do you think? "

Li Dong nodded and said: "This is fine, the option plan can be used."

To put it bluntly, option rewards, you can only get money if you are listed, and it is a piece of waste paper if you are not listed.

Yuanfang Mall is really going to be listed. At that time, Li Dong didn't mind giving them some sweets. If it didn't go public, then I'm sorry, let's continue to suffer.

Of course, these can only fool those middle and low-level employees.

People like Yuan Chengdao who know that Li Dong has no short-term plan to go public understand that it is actually useless to get option rewards now.

And judging by Li Dong's posture, it's hard to say whether he will be listed or not.

Until now, Yuan Chengdao didn't mention equity incentives anymore, and it was useless to mention them.

After talking about this, Shen Qian said again: "In addition, after Ali's listing, our mall may be in trouble. The other party's Taobao mall will also go online soon. I heard that it is similar to our model. When the time comes..."

"Leave them alone for now, just keep the current situation."

Li Dong never thought of surpassing Ali or Tencent at this time, and the development of the PC terminal is still a step behind.

At this time, what Li Dong has to do is not to fall too far behind. His real hope is the era of smart phones.

At that time, our main battlefield was on the mobile side.

Li Dong is already preparing for this, but there is still some time before the arrival of the smartphone, so it is not too urgent.

"Also, last time you said to go to Shao Yibo, did you take action? I'm afraid I won't be able to stay far away for long."

Shen Qian had said before that she was going to resign, and Du Anmin had mentioned it once, and up to now, Shen Qian's resignation was already certain.

But once she leaves, someone has to take over the mall.

Liu Hong can't do it. His overall view is still a bit weak, and he is not brave enough.

Hearing Shen Qian talk about this, Li Dong also had a headache and said: "I asked someone, Shao Yibo should be in the capital. But I didn't have any contact with him, so I rushed to find him, let's not say whether he will agree or not. It's too abrupt."

If Shao Yibo was an ordinary employee, he would spend money.

The point is that the other party is now the boss himself, and asking him to put down his business to help Li Dong would be a lot of trouble.

Even if there is a long-cherished wish to defeat Taobao, they may not be happy.

It wouldn't look good if you were turned down at the door.

Li Dong is not Liu Bei, and he doesn't have the determination to visit the thatched cottage, and modern times are not ancient times. If he really wants to visit the thatched cottage, he might be looked down upon by others.

Seeing what Li Dong said, Shen Qian also said helplessly: "Even if you don't look for Shao Yibo, you have to find someone to stand up to you.

If it really doesn't work, then Liu Hong can only be the top.

At least relatively speaking, he is currently the most suitable candidate, and he is also the person who knows the business of Yuanfang Mall best. "

"Let's take a look again. I'll ask someone again during this time. Anyway, Secretary Du also said that it's fine for you to stay far away before the end of the year."

"Um."

...

November 7th.

Suguo once again closed three stores in Wuxi and Changshu.

This time, the store is bigger.

These 3 stores are directly operated by Suguo. Unlike Yuanfang, Suguo also has a large number of franchised stores.

Even the directly-operated stores can't survive, let alone the franchise stores.

In fact, these days, more than a dozen of Suguo's franchise stores have chosen to withdraw their licenses.

Franchise stores are not highly competitive stores in the first place, and their suppliers are generally third-level or even fourth-level distributors, and the cost is higher than that of Suguo direct-sale stores.

In addition, there is an expensive franchise fee every year, and the cost is even higher.

But in the distance, they are all directly-operated stores.

In this case, even Suguo's directly-operated stores can't handle it, let alone them.

These small bosses have also seen that the reason why they suffer is completely innocent.

Li Dong was staring at Su Guo, not them. Li Dong didn't pay attention to these small stores at all.

That being the case, why join in?

Joining Suguo at the beginning was to increase competitiveness, but now instead of losing the competitive advantage, he is being chased and beaten from afar, who is willing to work hard for Suguo.

Suguo's huge store scale, in fact, most of them are franchisees.

Now that the franchise store has withdrawn, Suguo has been hit hard again.

At this moment, Ma Jialiang in Jinling has given up any hope.

The policy of preserving the southern Jiangsu market was rejected, so he went to the southern Jiangsu government to ask for help. As a result, the head of the southern Jiangsu government, who had been his guest before, met him and did not make any promises at all except for a few flower guns.

Ma Jialiang knew why.

In the past, he was Suguo's helm, the only one at the helm, even China Resources did not dare to dismiss him wantonly.

But it's different now, China Resources' attitude is obvious, this time Ma Jialiang will be responsible.

In addition, this time it was indeed he who insisted on going to war with Yuanfang, causing Suguo to suffer huge losses, and Ma Jialiang was willing to bear this responsibility.

However, once Suguo is gone, what is he?

Suguo belongs to China Resources, and even China Resources didn't ask the government for help. Even China Resources was ready to make peace with Yuanfang.

Although Yuanfang is not an enterprise in southern Jiangsu, is it China Resources?

The situation is not at its worst yet.

Suguo has only closed a few stores, and there are no large numbers of employees unemployed, or economic downturn. At this time, the political situation has not stabilized, and Sunan really has no time to help Ma Jialiang get ahead.

The moment he walked out of the Sunan government building, Ma Jialiang's straight waist suddenly hunched.

This is the end of the matter, and there is no room for redemption.
