People from the three VC companies are all together.
Henry sent people to speak and said: "Hello everyone, I'm Meng Wenfu, manager of Nicholas international e-commerce group in China. My purpose here is very simple, that is to buy your Taobao shares!"
Representatives of the three venture capital companies looked at each other.
Meng Wenbin continued: "we are willing to buy your Taobao shares at a high premium of 15%. If we are willing, we will make a deal; If you don't want to, Nicholas international e-commerce will crack down on Taobao crazily! Would you like to see your stock depreciate or sell it at a high price now? "
"Mr. Meng, Taobao has not been suppressed by Nicholas international e-commerce? But now it occupies 9% of the market share of China's e-commerce! " The representative of Sequoia Capital said, with a trace of irony in his tone.
Meng Wenbin laughed when he heard the speech. He looked at the representative of Sequoia Capital and said with disdain: "Taobao is just a cry to make money at a loss. Do you really make money? In addition, who are the people who open shop on Taobao? More than 70% of them are fake vendors, which leads to worse reputation! Do you know what people think of Taobao? "
"Fakes concentration camp"! " Meng Wenbin said with a contemptuous smile, "according to the information we collected, it is precisely because there are too many fake goods on Taobao that the user viscosity is the lowest among all e-commerce websites. When people buy valuables, they will choose Amazon website first! "
"In addition, Amazon, eBay and Alibaba have occupied more than 95% of the mobile market share. With more and more smart phone users, mobile terminal will be more important than PC terminal! The smart phone is the entrance to the mobile terminal. At present, the three most popular smart phones, Williams Galaxy S1, Hongnian Xiaomi and Apple iPhone, are the industries of his majesty Williams. Moreover, the two major smartphone operating systems, Android and IOS, are also the industries of his majesty Williams. If Taobao is banned, do you think Taobao still has development prospects? "
As soon as Meng Wenbin's words were finished, Qi Shushu, a representative of the three venture capital companies, changed his face.
"Sell or not, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
With that, Meng Weibin took the cup and drank the tea leisurely.
Representatives of the other three venture capital firms got together and began to whisper.
After three or four minutes, the three talents agreed.
Later, IDG representatives said: "our three venture capital companies unanimously decided to sell Taobao shares to you, but the premium must be 20%!"
"OK, no problem!" Meng Wenbin nodded and said, "at present, Taobao has not been listed, but according to its market share and sales, we give a valuation of US $800 million. You account for 25% of the shares in total, and the premium is 20%, which is US $240 million! If you have no problem, we can sign the contract now! "
The three looked at each other and nodded.
So, that afternoon, Henry bought 25% of Taobao's shares!
After signing the agreement, Meng Wenbin said: "our transaction should not be announced. Even Ma Yun and Softbank should be informed. I hope everyone can keep it secret!"
"All right, no problem!"
……
Sun Zhengyi is so busy that he has to sell off Softbank assets!
Just when sun Zhengyi was worried about money, a Chinese venture capital organization called "Oriental capital" came to him on its own initiative, "Mr. Sun, I'm Liu Liang, CEO of Oriental capital venture capital company. Our company is more interested in Taobao. I wonder if Softbank can give up its shares? If Softbank is willing to sell its Taobao shares to our company, we can offer $400 million! "
Sun Zhengyi frowned and hesitated!
Liu Liang, CEO of Oriental capital, is more than 18 meters tall. He has a short flat haircut. Sun Zhengyi is just as tall as his shoulder“ Mr. Sun, Softbank has encountered a stock market crisis, and $400 million can play a significant role! If you are hesitating, I'm afraid Softbank will be finished! " Liu Liang said with no smile than PI xiaorou, obviously with the meaning of taking advantage of the fire!
Sun Zhengyi's face became rather ugly, his eyes were fixed, and he made a decision very decisively: "OK, we'll sell it to you, but the funds must be in place immediately!"
"No problem, sign the contract on the same day, and the money will be immediately sent to Softbank's company account!"
Liu Liang looked at Sun Zhengyi and praised him, "it's worthy of President sun. He really has the courage to survive by breaking his tail. I really admire him!"
Sun Zhengyi was not happy because of the other party's appreciation. He was very unwilling to sell his shares in Taobao. But in order to save Softbank, he had to do it again!
"Thank you for your praise. You also know the current situation of Softbank. In order to be in a hurry, can we sign a contract right away?" Sun Zhengyi said in a deep voice.
"Well, when you say it, when you say it!" With that, Liu Liang snapped his fingers and said to the female secretary, "draw up two agreements immediately. Mr. Sun of Softbank wants to sign a contract with us immediately."
"Yes
Liu Liang turned his head and looked at Sun Zhengyi, holding a glass of wine and said, "come on, Mr. Sun, let's have a drink. It won't be long before the agreement can be made."
With a smile, Mr. Sun picked up his glass and touched it with Liu Liang, saying, "cheers!"
A glass of wine down, all bitter!
……
An hour later, sun Zhengyi came out from the venture capital organization with an agreement. Since then, Taobao has nothing to do with Softbank! The cold wind made sun Zhengyi shiver, and his sparse hair turned white unconsciously
Beijing.
"Your Majesty, Liu Liang has got the shares of Taobao!" Villette reported immediately.
"Very good, let Liu Liang go to Hangzhou immediately, and inform Ma Yun as a major shareholder to hold a general meeting of shareholders!"
"Yes
……
The next afternoon, at Hangzhou Airport, Liu Liang and his team came to Hangzhou, and Ma Yun personally picked up the plane at the airport.
Softbank sold its shares to Oriental capital, which gave Ma a glimmer of hope. Oriental capital is a venture capital company registered in the Cayman Islands. It is a mysterious but powerful venture capital organization in China. It has invested in many Internet companies, such as Ctrip, Youku, Tudou, kuaibao, Fengfeng video, Xunlei and Yiche. Maybe it can bring investment to Taobao!
Everyone then came to Taobao headquarters, the general meeting of shareholders also officially began!
Ma Yun took the lead in saying: "this is Liu Liang, our new shareholder and CEO of Dongfang capital. Welcome
make love!
"Welcome Mr. Liu!"
"Welcome Mr. Liu!"
“……”
After the applause, Ma Yun asked: "Mr. Liu, this shareholders' meeting is proposed by you. What's the matter?"
Liu Liang laughed and said straight to the point: "Oriental capital not only holds 40% of Taobao shares in Softbank, but also buys 25% of Taobao shares in IDG capital, Sequoia Capital and DCM capital. In other words, Oriental capital holds 65% of Taobao's shares! "
Ma Yun and Taobao's management were shocked when they heard this!
