Chapter 1077 Sit up Straight First
Yibei contacting 361 was actually just the first step of his plan. When he set his sights on the domestic online shopping market, the war was inevitable.
In Yibei's eyes, Ali was just a small role, but the other party would not underestimate this small role. Or it could be said that Yibei had come with the goal of dominating the domestic online shopping market from the beginning, and Ali was the target that the other party had to eliminate.
In order to achieve this goal, Yibei came with great momentum from the beginning, using its own international giant financial advantages. Constantly blocking Ma Fengyun's publicity channels on major websites.
In the previous life, Ma Fengyun was forced to cooperate with some small websites, and desperately appeared on TV to advertise and give speeches everywhere. It gave people the feeling that he was not an entrepreneur, but a success chicken soup mentor.
However, Hangzhou Ma in this life is obviously not as easy to bully as in the previous life. Not to mention that Yang Dongxu, who has a lot of money, stands behind him. The connections that have been accumulated since the start of the business are not comparable to those in the previous life.
Especially among these connections, in addition to the wealthy who can provide funds, there are also many people with strong backgrounds. The sweeping and dominating plan formulated by Yibei was actually wrong from the beginning.
However, it is not eBay's fault for underestimating its rival. The main reason is that although Alibaba has been doing well in China in the past two years, it is just a small player that can be easily kicked away in the international market.
Let alone Alibaba, even Softbank, which claims to be an international venture capital, only has a little fame and power in the Asian market. eBay can easily teach him a lesson in the international market.
Alibaba can't do it, and the venture capital consortium standing behind it can't do it either. So why should eBay look at you? Just sweep it away and it will be done.
"Delay it first, and then talk about cooperation normally." Yang Dongxu said after thinking for a moment.
Delaying it first is naturally waiting for the price. Now eBay's contact with 361 is probably a preliminary test, or the plan has just been formulated and is still in the preparation stage, and has not been fully implemented.
So delay the other party first, and when his plan is fully launched and he has signed agreements with other major websites, he can naturally negotiate a good price after he has dealt with 361.
After all, 361 browser dominates the domestic market, and even portal websites are jealous of this traffic. In addition, he has reached a cooperation agreement with Sohu on a video project. With such a strong capital in hand, he has the capital to delay and negotiate a good price.
As for the "normal negotiation of cooperation" later, it seems that Ma Fengyun has been sold out. This is actually a disguised coercion. Alibaba will not fall, but will get better and better and finally develop into a giant.
But Yang Dongxu does not have the final say on this giant now, even though he has taken out Alipay and other chips to make a four-hit combo. Ma Fengyun still holds the core shares in his hands tightly.
So now Alibaba seems to be a major shareholder, but the actual control is still in Ma Fengyun's hands. Yang Dongxu knows that Alibaba will develop better with Ma Fengyun, but this does not mean that he will continue to fertilize and guide Alibaba. In the end, he only wants to be the second in this company, whether it is control or dividends.
He has a strong desire for control. Since he started his business, he will not make wedding clothes for others, but often turn the wedding clothes made by others into his own.
It might be a bit selfish to do so, but even if he didn't do it, there were many people who would do so. In the face of interests, especially huge interests, there are many people who trample on morality. Moreover, he just used the rules to achieve his own goals and did not do anything that was against the law.
"This." Qiu Bosong looked at his boss with some doubts.
He didn't have the ability to read minds, so he naturally didn't know what Yang Dongxu was thinking. In his opinion, his boss was very optimistic and supportive of Ma Fengyun, and he was constantly introducing resources and connections to Ma Fengyun recently.
And there are rumors that the tens of millions of US dollars of venture capital that Ma Fengyun had received before, which made people jealous, were Softbank's money on the surface, but in fact it was his boss's money. So if he talked about cooperation with eBay normally, wouldn't it be a joint effort with outsiders to get rid of Ma Fengyun?
"Ali is Ali, 361 is 361. You are the general manager of 361, not Ali. In business, although eBay is just testing this time, it will definitely come back in force. 361 can make a lot of money if it seizes the opportunity.
But if you choose to cooperate with Ali, no one can predict what the future will be like. So as the boss of 361, you should consider the problem from your own perspective. Of course, it doesn't mean that you should ignore feelings and only look at interests.
Of course, under the same circumstances, Ali is willing to spend money, or even pay less. You choose him, which is already a favor. You can't refuse eBay's high offer because of favor when he doesn't spend a penny? 361 doesn't seem to be a shareholder of Ali." Yang Dongxu knocked on the table.
He now feels that he has gathered all the company bosses to discuss overlapping resources and sharing to avoid waste. Is it a bit self-defeating?
Now when the people under him encounter problems, the first thing they think of is not how to solve the problem. Instead, they directly find helpers to use their resources and connections to bully others.
This can certainly solve the problem, but it will not bring innovation and ambition, which is undoubtedly what he does not want to see. What he needs is for the companies under his control to cooperate with each other while competing with each other, not to drink tea and chat in a comfort zone.
"I understand." Qiu Bosong felt the displeasure of his big boss.
When he thought of what happened to his eldest apprentice before, he was instantly alert. This time, his butt seemed to be a little crooked, which made him slap himself twice in his heart.
Since coming to Yang Dongxu's side, he has a lot of resources and connections, and it has been smooth sailing along the way, making him seem a little drifting. There is always an urge to think about the big picture.
There is no problem in thinking about the problem from the overall perspective, but it seems to be a bit problematic to think about the overall situation beyond his own company. He should first get his position straight.
In fact, this is also a drawback of Yang Dongxu's previous gathering of company CEOs under him for meetings. Everyone seems to know that in the future, these companies that seem to have broken up with each other will merge into a huge company, or even a world-class giant.
Therefore, when ambitious bosses consider problems, they can't help but go beyond the scope of their positions and consider problems from another level.
For example, when facing eBay's cooperation, Qiu Bosong's first thought was not to consider how 361 would eat meat, but to regard Alibaba as a department that he might manage in the future, so he unknowingly dealt with it from another level. this matter.
“There is nothing wrong with thinking more and thinking more. As the company develops even more in the future, it will indeed require many far-sighted people to sit in management positions. These are the talents necessary for the company to thrive.
But who can sit in this position, in addition to having a far-sighted vision, also needs the ability to convince people. He only has a far-sighted vision, but ends up running his company into a mess. Do you think such a person can rise to the top? "Seeing that Qiu Bosong seemed to really understand what he meant, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but click again.
It's best to explain this matter clearly, so as not to make people guess and make people panic.
"It's clear, it's a bit of putting the cart before the horse." Qiu Bosong smiled bitterly. At this time, he really wanted to give himself a few slaps.
Before, I just thought that I should consider the problem from a higher position, but I didn't realize that the cornerstone under my feet was almost empty. If 361 is not managed well, let alone becoming a core member of that huge group in the future, whether it can secure its current position as the boss is a question.
"Learn from Li Ji. He never asks me such questions. In addition to selling houses built by Hurricane Construction, Universal Intermediary also lists almost all the famous domestic real estate houses that can be listed online on the website.
And no matter the recommended resources or the services provided, there is no discount at all. In addition to poaching people for my company, he also works for me.
He is providing full-time services to other companies, and has even accepted the recruitment of many employees outside of state-owned enterprise departments. Whether it is a construction company or other enterprises. Many of them are our competitors. Yang Dongxu said.
This is undoubtedly setting a benchmark for current thinking people like Qiu Bosong. Universal Intermediary has very close cooperation with all enterprises under Yang Dongxu.
Even Xuri Technology and 361 have many top technical personnel who were poached through universal intermediaries. In short, Universal Agency is very dedicated to the work of its brothers and the prices are very fair.
But he will not give up cooperating with other companies just because of his brother company, especially those competitors of his brother company. As long as it is within the scope of his own business, he will never give up with any one of them.
The most important thing is that if the person the other party wants to poach is a key person among his brothers, he will avoid it appropriately. But we will never give up cooperating with the other party just because the other party is a rival of our brother company.
Therefore, the current universal intermediary can be said to be well-known in the industry. Even though some people know that universal intermediary may be close to its competitors, they still choose to cooperate with him.
Just like the companies under Yang Dongxu, although sometimes it feels like the universal intermediary is helping outsiders. But his big boss didn't speak, so he could only hold back and not speak out.
But is this holding back really because the big boss Yang Dongxu didn't speak?
If there is a better intermediary company, it can provide better services. Those who were originally quite controversial about Li Ji's actions really wouldn't stand up and give Li Ji eye drops?
The reason why the big boss Yang Dongxu didn't speak was just an excuse. In fact, it was because the Universal Intermediary did such a good job, leaving Yang Dongxu aside.
If you don't cooperate with the universal intermediary, it is your loss, not the loss of the universal intermediary. This is what a truly smart person does, and it is also the capable person Yang Dongxu wants.
Therefore, among all the company CEOs, it seems that Yang Dongxu cares more about the technology and construction industries and the traces of the CEOs of these two companies. There is a feeling that Universal Intermediary is out of reach.
But if it weren't for the absolute trust in Li Ji, I would be extremely satisfied with the development of Universal Intermediary. After spending so much money and resources to build a universal intermediary, would Yang Dongxu not seem to care on the surface?
