April 8th.
On this day, Ali held a financing reception in Lin'an.
Compared with micro blog financing, dig treasure financing attracts more attention.
It's not that the value of Taobao must be higher than that of Weibo. The key is that this is the first time that Alibaba has taken out the treasure alone for financing.
And it is the first financing of Ali group after delisting.
Before that, in 2005, in order to develop and compete with eBay, Alibaba found Yahoo and raised $1 billion.
However, at that time, the whole Alibaba group was the main body of financing, and that time of financing, Yahoo took 39% of the group's equity. Although
used the money, Ali hatched out treasure and Alipay, but also led to the excessive YAHOO right now, and Ali was not too keen on YAHOO's business in China.
The rights of Ali group are now beyond Ma Yun's control.
The reason why we choose to separate out treasure financing, I'm afraid, is also to prevent the tail end.
In addition to these factors, another point is that toubao is the only C2C platform to choose financing in recent years.
Of course, the actual situation is that after taking out the treasure and making it bigger, the C2C platform of Huaxia has almost no large living space. There was a paipaipai before, but paipaipai is backed by Teng Xun, and there is no need for financing.
With the continuous expansion of the online shopping market, such as Diao Bao, which occupies 80% of the C2C market share, is a well deserved overlord.
Some small and medium-sized C2C platforms, including B2C platforms, are staring at the financing of treasure.
Like Li Dong, they also want to see what kind of e-commerce platform exists in the eyes of investors?
How popular is it?
Are capital institutions optimistic about the prospect of online shopping market?
Compared with vision and experience, it has to be said that there are many talents in capital institutions, and some investment managers have more accurate vision than the managers of some large groups.
It can be recognized by most capital institutions, which shows that the prospect of the project is absolutely there.
Therefore, the 8 th treasure out of treasure financing reception, caused a lot of people's attention.
In addition to digging out treasure, there is also a point for all parties to look at.
Ali's internal strife was known by many people before.
This financing party, Ali is likely to announce some news to the outside world, some small shareholders, even the big shareholder of Yahoo, may be listed in the list of retirement.
In fact, before Ali went to Xiangjiang to be listed in 2007, Ali had already eliminated a large part of small and medium-sized VC.
Today, there are few minority shareholders left. After the privatization, according to the news released by Alibaba, Yahoo is the largest shareholder and currently holds 39% of Ali's total shares.
Ma Yun and his team hold 32% of the shares.
The third largest shareholder is Softbank, which holds 27%.
The three parties hold 98% of the shares in total. In fact, the shares held by other capital institutions are hardly visible, only accounting for 2% of Ali's shares.
It is reasonable to say that Ma Yun, his team and Softbank together hold 59% of the shares. There is no dispute over the control right.
But the capital organization is always the capital organization, the world's Xixi all benefit.
In the past two years, although Ali's performance has been growing, it is not as dominant as before, with a promising prospect. With naked eyes, we can see that the future is promising and has high returns.
Now, some business of Ali, although good, can always make people feel that there is a crisis.
, especially Alipay and Alipay, are facing the impact of Wan cartoon and Wanjia network.
In this case, although Softbank did not directly oppose some of Ma Yun's decisions, it did not make a voice. Instead, it sat and watched Ma Yun's team fight with Yahoo. There was a wait-and-see attitude.
Perhaps, at this time, Softbank did not behave so calm and did not trust Ma Yun as much as before.
This is the reason for Ali's constant internal strife. Ma Yun should have seen all these things. Therefore, he is in great need of help and the opportunity to prove himself.
Yahoo and Softbank two sides, he also obtained at least one side's support, can continue to lead Ali to go on.
In Li Dong's opinion, it is not only to raise money to compete with wanjiawang, but also to attract a group of allies.
……
Lin'an.
West Lake.
A Maybach stopped slowly.
Li Dong opened the window, looked at the West Lake from a distance, and whispered: "if you want to compare the West Lake with the West Lake, it is always appropriate to wear light and heavy makeup. Compared with Pingchuan, Lin'an has a little more flavor because of the existence of the West Lake. "
Bai Su, sitting beside him, said with a smile: "in fact, there are many beautiful sceneries in Pingchuan..."
"Beauty is in the eyes of lovers, but I don't envy Ma Yun. Pingchuan is as good as Pingchuan. What's more, how can we really enjoy the scenery?"
Li Dong laughed at himself. How beautiful the scenery is, do they have a chance to see it?The West Lake is under Ma Yun's nose. How many days can he see it all year round?
Even if you choose to hold a financing reception on the Bank of Xizi lake, you are still hiding in the hotel. Who is really coming for sightseeing?
In this world, the bigger the business is, the busier they are. In the end, maybe they don't know what they are busy for, maybe for their ideal, maybe they are really lost in it and forget their original intention.
More likely, of course, is a habit.
When busyness becomes a habit, it's hard to stop.
Once you stop, you will be at a loss, you will be embarrassed, as if a part of life is missing.
Li Dong is actually developing in this direction.
Although he kept saying, I want to rest, I want to retire early, I want to travel around the world
However, if he really stopped, he would not be able to adapt at first.
Unless after a period of time, accustomed to a leisurely life, at that time, may be able to put down.
With a sigh of emotion, Li Dong asked, "what time will the financing party be held?"
"It starts at 6 p.m. in the banquet hall of Shangri La Hotel."
Bai Su replied, looked at the time and said, "it's only 2 o'clock. Mr. Li, shall we go to the hotel now?"
"If I don't go to the hotel, I'm going now. How can I surprise old ma?
Drive around and find a place to have a cup of coffee. "
After Li Dong finished, Bai Su and Tan Yong were speechless. Do you really think that others don't know you are here?
If you have the ability, don't drive your own car, and change to a low-key one. That's about the same.
Who doesn't know your Li Dong's car, which has some status?
Now I drive around the West Lake and there are so many people. I'm afraid the news has already been spread.
……
Bai Su and Tan Yong slander at the same time.
Ali headquarters.
Ma Yun appears a little angry, frown a way: "what does this guy come to do?"
Shortly after Li Dong came to Lin'an, he received the news.
That guy, there are people watching everywhere now. How can he act in secret.
What's more, he seems to have no hidden mind. He is driving his Maybach around the West Lake. I'm afraid it's not only him, but also the city government that has received the news.
Ma Yun was annoyed and didn't complain any more. He just told him, "it's better if he doesn't come to the party in the evening. If he comes, he won't be allowed to enter the party!
Say hello to the security guard in advance. The possibility that he will not come is almost zero.
I'm sure he's here to raise money for the party! "
Lu Zhaoxi on one side frowned slightly and said, "isn't it appropriate?"
Li Dong is not an ordinary person. If he doesn't come, if he doesn't come, if he doesn't have an invitation letter, he won't be admitted. That's a slap in the face.
Ma Yun didn't have a good way: "when I went to Pingchuan last time, do you know how he entertained me and Ma Huateng?
I didn't even go into the canteen. It was blowing cold outside.
What's wrong with a tooth for a tooth! "
Cai Chongxin, who was sitting opposite him, jokingly said, "don't be angry. He doesn't necessarily come to make trouble.
At least we have come to this point. If we really want to make trouble, why should we worry about him?
He should have his purpose. He just doesn't know whether it's for information or... "
When it comes to information, Cai Chongxin shakes his head.
When Li Dong got to this point, if he had to ask for information by himself, he would be miserable.
Peng Lei, who was not far away, said: "I guess it may be related to Internet finance. In May, we made an appointment to launch a virtual money fund together?
I think it's probably for this. "
Peng Peng took over the post of Alipay CEO shortly before. The issue of the virtual monetary fund is also preparing for her.
Seeing all the guesses, Ma Yun waved his hand and said, "whatever he wants to do!
We do our job. If he doesn't come, he doesn't exist! "
Said, Ma Yun seems to think of something, immediately said: "now notice down, see he came to the headquarters, immediately inform me!
He is not allowed to enter our office area alone, and if you receive a call from him, let me know in advance.
I don't stop anyone from going up. If you think the distance is more promising, I will sincerely congratulate you and send you away.
But I don't want you to leave suddenly without my knowledge... "
Ma Yun said a few more words, Li Dong that guy is notorious, in order to dig people, unscrupulous.
Teng Xun has suffered several losses, even Baidu. When microblogging financing, it sent some technical personnel to support the construction of microblog platform. Originally, according to the plan, when the construction was completed, these people still had to go back.The results are good, to the end, the real return to Baidu less than one tenth!
Li Yanhong is not less angry about this, but he is also psychologically prepared. Most of the people sent to do technical guidance are prickly heads and not too many people.
Finally, he was left by Li Dong. He was angry and let go.
Now that Li Dongren comes to Lin'an, Ma Yun naturally has to guard against it.
Li Dong's involvement in the Internet industry is not too long. Strictly speaking, it was only in 2006 that Li Dong formally set foot in the Internet business.
It's only three years now.
Ali has been working for ten years, and the talent reserve is much more than that in the distance. Since Li Dong is here, it is normal to want to find some senior technical talents.
Several people are saying, Ma Yun's secretary knocked on the door to enter, Hui reported: "Chairman, Li Zong's car into the Wahaha headquarters."
"Whoa ha ha?"
Ma Yun was stunned for a while and then said, "what did this guy do?"
He always thought that Li Dong was coming for him.
As a result, Li Dong didn't say hello when he came. Instead, he went to Wahaha headquarters, which made him a little confused.
Others also looked at each other in awe. Cai Chongxin said helplessly, "maybe it's about cooperation. After all, Wahaha is the first beverage.
We are some of their own bluff, no wonder many people said before, Teng Xun because he passed, chaos for several days.
Now it seems that Li Dong doesn't necessarily have this idea, but we are a bit out of order. "
The shadow of man's famous tree, now Li Dong, makes people look at his every move.
Sometimes he didn't have that idea. As a result, many people just heard his name and began to be afraid.
Even Ali's side, in fact, is a little afraid of him.
Ma Yun said that he didn't care about him. He really didn't care about Li Dong. He had to hold a meeting just after Li Dong came to Lin'an to ask people's opinions?
Hearing Cai Chongxin's words, Ma Yun vomited and said, "forget it, don't discuss him, just do whatever you want.
Everyone is ready for the financing reception in the evening.
This time, it's not only about taking out treasure, but also about the group.
The 10th anniversary of the establishment of the group is approaching. I don't want to sleep uneasily on the 10th anniversary.
These days, not only I am tired, in fact, everyone is tired.
I hope there will be a few days after this. "
They all nodded. They were busy and chaotic in the distance. In fact, Ali's life was not easy.
In particular, after privatization, a lot of money was spent and Ali's base was hollowed out.
In addition, the merchants who took out treasure not long ago rebelled. There were many contradictions between the major shareholders and the management, and there were covetous eyes from afar. The implementation of logistics was not smooth
All of this, let a few high-level people overwhelmed and exhausted.
People also hope that this financing reception can be successfully completed. Let's take a breath before May.
……
Ha ha ha, headquarters.
Actually, Li Dong didn't come here specially, but the car was driving and passed by.
Since he passed by, Li Dong was idle, so he got out of the car and went around.
Although he didn't make an appointment in advance, he learned that Li Dong had come in person. Even though he had a lot of things to deal with, Zhong Qinghou put down the matter and went downstairs to meet Li Dong in person.
In fact, they are not familiar with each other. Li Dong has dealt with many old people in the industry, but Zhong Qinghou is relatively low-key. He is not very involved in general parties and associations.
This also led to the fact that the two met each other on some formal occasions before, with little private contact.
For Li Dong's arrival, Zhong Qinghou is actually a little curious.
It is reasonable to say that Li Dongzhen should inform them in advance in order to discuss business with them. There is no reason to kill him suddenly.
However, when Li Dong opened his mouth and said it was for a financing party to dig out treasure, even Zhong Qinghou, an entrepreneur who didn't like to joke, couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Li, before, many people said that you take bullying Ma Yun for pleasure. Now it seems that it is really so."
Li Dong just wanted to say a few words, the old man suddenly said with a smile: "but bullying is good!"
Li Dong is a bit stunned. What a hatred! Look at your expression of schadenfreude. Can you pay attention to your image?
Seeing his expression, Zhong Qinghou couldn't help laughing: "don't look at me like this. Although you and I don't have much contact with each other, you are one of the few entrepreneurs I admire in business.
To be an enterprise, you should be down-to-earth.
Two years ago, the rise of the Internet, e-commerce just took off.
At that time, Ma Yun liked to preach about the benefits of virtual economy, but he didn't know that there were many disadvantages in virtual economy.
I don't reject e-commerce, but I can't accept his idea.
Until the rise from afar, taking the entity as the foundation, moving from the entity to the Internet, and breaking through the barriers between the two, this has given us a lot of inspiration.Ma Yun's pure e-commerce theory, from now on, has been rejected by himself.
Otherwise, Ali will not join hands with these enterprises.
This is a point that you can give us to the old guys, so I say bullying is good
Hearing this, Li Dong burst into laughter. After laughing, he said: "Mr. Zhong, since you are so optimistic about me and you are not short of money, how about changing our supply payment into annual settlement?"
As soon as he said this, the old man's smile stopped!
Ma De, the industry has said that this guy is extremely shameless. He just didn't think so. Now he is seeing!
Wow, ha ha, there is cooperation with distant places, and the scale of cooperation is not small.
As a leading enterprise in Chinese beverage industry, Wahaha has annual sales of tens of billions.
Far away is the largest supermarket in China at present. In one year, the cooperation between the two sides has a scale of billions.
This guy, how dare you speak!
Zhong Qinghou is a little tired. It's better for this guy to ignore him. No wonder he usually chats with some old guys. Talking about Li Dong, these people all show helpless expression.
