Chapter 333

In the morning, he met and talked with sun Zhengyi at Softbank group headquarters. Sun Zhengyi didn't directly tell him that Softbank wanted to invest in Huizhong, but just talked with him about the potential and development of wechat, the unit of 100 million and some top capital operations in the world.

Although sun Zhengyi didn't say it clearly, Fang zhe wouldn't be too stupid to guess that sun Zhengyi and Softbank want to invest in Huizhong. Just from a lot of optimistic about wechat, about Softbank's strength in Japan and the global technology industry and investment industry, and so on.

All sun Zhengyi's words are telling Fang Zhe that Softbank wants to invest in Huizhong, and it still has to invest, because Fang zhe remembers that when sun Zhengyi showed Softbank's strength, he also mentioned that he is optimistic about the two companies in the United States and Europe that follow the trend of entrepreneurship because of the global rise of wechat. The implication is that Softbank can't invest in Huizhong, It will invest in Huizhong's competitors, and I'm afraid wechat will face many difficulties in Japan, the headquarters of Softbank.

Fortunately, son Zhengyi just chatted with himself and did not rush to force himself to agree to Softbank's investment. He specially met Fang zhe because Fang zhe happened to come to Japan. He took this opportunity to say hello to Fang Zhe and let Fang zhe have psychological preparation in advance.

It's ok if it's just a Softbank, but Fang zhe knows that in addition to Softbank, there are many top capital giants in Europe, America and the world.

None of Carlyle, Blackstone, Sequoia, British 3I, etc. is worse than Softbank or even better than Softbank. If wechat wants to gain a firm foothold and develop in the world, it is not enough to rely on Softbank alone. How to balance and balance these capital, and even the upward government departments of various countries, is Fang Zhe's biggest headache now!

On the third day after Fang zhe returned from Japan, Huizhong held its sixth closed door meeting since its establishment in a high-level club in Changping, Yanjing.

"I've told you about the situation. Tell us what you think!" Fang zhe glanced at the six people around the conference table after finishing his meeting with son Zhengyi in Japan and his headache for other capital around the world.

These six people include Zheng Siwen, Li Yifei, who has served as president of Alipay, Chen Yimei, vice president in charge of administration, and three other core executives promoted by Huizhong in the past two years, plus Fang Zhe. These seven people are the core management of Huizhong now!

"President Fang, it seems that we can't escape this disaster!" Li Yifei was the first to speak.

Since the middle of last year, Huizhong established a wholly-owned third-party payment company Alipay, Li Yifei has served as the president of Alipay. Except for attending Huizhong full staff meetings or high-level meetings such as today's closed door meetings, he rarely appears in Huizhong.

In the past year, Li Yifei did not disappoint Fang Zhe. Under his leadership, the total number of registered users of Alipay has exceeded more than 30 million.

The majority of them are not millions of domestic game paying users under Huizhong, but e-commerce platforms with frequent payment behaviors such as JD and Miya invested by Huizhong. The remaining users come from relevant enterprises invested by Huizhong, such as YY and hungry, as well as naturally registered users.

With the gradual expansion of the scale of Alipay, including financial management, mobile phone recharge, living payment and other convenience services have been added to Alipay applications. Therefore, more and more users register Alipay in order to use these services.

However, with the development of payment over the past year, almost all users are limited to domestic users, and the total number of foreign users is less than 2 million. The reason is that the payment and financial services involved in Alipay are extremely demanding and difficult to access in any country and region. Therefore, Fang zhe can only look at tens of millions of overseas paying users of Alipay, It has been using paypal, visa and other payment channels developed overseas for many years.

Therefore, in the past year, the main business center of Alipay has been focusing on the various potential users accumulated in the domestic transformation Huizhong system. As long as these user groups continue to grow, Alipay will continue to grow. As for overseas, I'm afraid Alipay can gradually open the market in the world only after wechat and Huizhong have a firm foothold in the world.

"It can't be said to be a disaster. Capital is also an opportunity and help for us!" after listening to Li Yifei, Zheng Siwen, who has been in the financial investment circle for many years, also expressed his views.

Zheng Siwen finished this sentence and didn't speak again. The executives present, including Li Yifei, are smart people. Of course, they understand what Zheng Siwen means by opportunities and assistance, which is nothing more than helping Huizhong develop faster and solve various problems.

Li Yifei said that he was robbing, and it was also a side of tzai's temper. He used to make complaints about his attitude towards capital. Because he had enough cash support from the huge game business, he really didn't need to divide the cake for others.

But now, unlike in the past, the problems and difficulties encountered by Huizhong in its further development are not something that Fang zheguang can solve with Huizhong's own money.

Chen Yimei and three other senior executives also expressed their views successively. As Fang zhe expected, everyone thought that it was almost impossible for Huizhong to continue to grow in the world without relying on foreign capital. Even if Huizhong could bite its teeth and stick to it, there would be endless troubles waiting for Huizhong in the future!

"It seems that it's time to spend money to eliminate the disaster!" Fang zhe also knows that the day when he tries to prevent foreign capital from entering Huizhong has come to an end. In that case, he should accept it calmly and strive for the greatest benefits for himself, the senior executives present and the whole Huizhong.

After Fang zhe expressed his agreement with Huizhong's attitude of external capital investment, he held a simple show of hands. The result was no exception. All the core executives of Huizhong agreed that Huizhong was ready to contact capital and introduce foreign capital investment in the next few months to six months.

Therefore, the content of the next closed door meeting will become a series of questions for everyone to discuss how Huizhong should face the entry of foreign capital, including which capital to allow, how to evaluate, how many shares to occupy after entry, and so on.

However, these problems are not only important but also complex. Fang Zhe and Huizhong's senior executives need to study many problems, such as what Huizhong needs most at present, what capital can provide, what kind of help and so on.

It will take at least a month or two to solve these problems. This is also the reason why son Zhengyi is not in a hurry to force Fang Zhe to agree to invest. The main purpose of Softbank's investment in Huizhong is to value the development of Huizhong. If Softbank is allowed to invest in Huizhong in a hurry, let alone none of Fang Zhe and Huizhong's senior executives, even sun Zhengyi and Softbank.

More than five hours later, Fang Zhe and six other senior executives were tired of discussing. Fang zhe also threw out the last question discussed at the closed door meeting: split Alipay!
