Vol 5 Chapter 676: Fragile persistence

"That's it?" Jin Ling looked at Feng Yiping in a somewhat inconceivable way, "Just a few words that are so light, and you two have settled such a big event?"

"Is this a joke? It's incredible!"

"Yes," Feng Yiping actually had some doubts whether this matter was true or not, "but, how complicated it is, our two sides are in the same direction."

From his point of view, Taobao and Tmall will merge into one in the future. This is a normal and correct thing.

"You didn't drink too much," Jin Ling said annoyed. "Or did you forget the plan you have set?"

"Do you still remember where this e-commerce platform is in our layout? Do you remember how many companies we have are actually set up to serve this e-commerce platform? "Jin Ling said furiously.

"You suddenly want to accept a partner like this. Do you know what it means? This means that we have to go through the process we have gone through again. This means that we will have to deal with many of our companies. , Conduct a thorough calculation...,"

"Do you know how much time this will waste and how much extra cost it will incur?" She felt a headache after thinking about it.

"I know I know," Feng Yiping rubbed his forehead and lay down on the sofa, "isn't this an intentional agreement reached verbally? Our e-commerce platform hasn't been launched yet, and some of it is time."

"Don't say it, I'll be quiet for a while, I'll stroke it," he waved his hand and closed his eyes.

In the confrontation with eBay, Lao Ma has already occupied the advantage, so he can't wait to propose to cooperate with himself. Why? It seems too sloppy.

Sloppy? It seems that in the original trajectory, the cooperation between Ali and Yahoo next year can be considered sloppy, and the intention of strategic cooperation was reached without discussing it a few times. Yahoo! Including Yahoo China, the price of 1 billion US dollars Acquired 40% of Ali's equity.

Choosing Yahoo naturally values ​​Yahoo’s influence in the industry and the traffic that Yahoo China may import to Taobao.

Now Jiasheng can also do this.

Now I and my company, especially in China, are definitely more influential than Yahoo China, which has not developed so smoothly.

From importing traffic, to assisting in the formation of management team, to providing other necessary support...In many respects, I have been able to provide systematic help just like those world-class venture capitalists.

Therefore, at this point, it is not unreasonable to replace Chief Yang and Yahoo with himself and Jiasheng.

Then, the rest of the cooperation is money, a total investment of 1 billion US dollars, which is also not a problem for myself now.

"I understand," Feng Yiping opened his eyes. "It's money. It's because of money," he said loudly. "That's why he seems to be so hasty to cooperate with me."

Alibaba's current development should be in urgent need of a large amount of funds, and it is estimated that time has reached the point where no one is waiting. Otherwise, why is it so anxious to sell 40% of its own company's equity at a price of 1 billion US dollars?

I believe that any entrepreneur will be cautious about giving up 40% of the equity at a time. That is a number that is very easy to get control of the company.

The only conclusion is that they must have calculated that they can use these hundreds of millions of dollars in cash to quickly develop the company. For this reason, it is cost-effective to give up 40% of the equity.

Later, everyone was annoyed that Ali was not worth it. They invested a billion dollars in Yahoo, but got more than tens of billions of dollars in return. But what they didn’t consider was that Yahoo’s billion dollars would be to Ali. How important is the development at this time.

I want to understand why Ali was so anxious to cooperate with Yahoo in the first place, and I can also understand Ma's unexpected proposal this time.

In other words, after meeting the previous condition, if I intend to talk to Lao Ma now, I can actually talk about the conditions for obtaining 40% of Ali's equity, which may not cost as much as 1 billion US dollars.

"So you think he thinks we are his ideal partner now? He welcomes us to invest on the basis of our original holdings?" Jin Ling said.

"Yes," Feng Yiping said.

"I think that another possibility cannot be ruled out. He first used the excuse of cooperation to stabilize us, and then stepped up to develop a b2c website similar to our online platform," Jin Ling said.

Feng Yiping was shocked, "No,"

This was his subconscious reaction. Later, the old horse, how positive, with affection and responsibility, could not do such a thing.

"When funds are so tight, they shouldn't do so much."

This is more rational. Lao Ma shouldn't do things like lying to the face.

Moreover, now Feng Yiping and Jiasheng are not so easy to fool. If you want to fool, you must have the courage to bear the consequences.

"No," he shook his head again, this time more sure.

"Although the truth is the truth, many things are not based on the truth?" Jin Ling said.

"Yes, we are members of Ali's board of directors, but we did not intervene in specific businesses. Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for the management team to secretly develop a new project without letting us notice it."

"Well, you can pay more attention." Unlike Feng Yiping, Jin Ling has a special perception of Lao Ma. At the same time, she raised these questions from the perspective of the executive, which shows that she has a very comprehensive view of the problem. This is worthy of recognition.

"I think our cooperation will be prepared in this direction for the time being. It is mainly the online platform and Alibaba cooperation. It does not involve other companies, whether it is a good or an express company, and we will talk about it in the future."

Feng Yiping's words made things refreshed by at least half.

"You have to think about it from another angle. Ali is currently in the field of e-commerce, and it is undoubtedly a sign in our country. Our e-commerce platform and cooperation with it are not completely useless, right? No matter how strong it is. Join hands,"

Although he believes that under the current conditions, Jiasheng’s own team can also operate this online platform similar to the later Tmall, but it is also a good choice to hand it over to the Ali team and develop collaboratively with Taobao. .

After all, the facts have proved that the Ali team did a pretty good job.

Personally speaking, this arrangement also made him feel the most relaxed.

And replacing those foreign investors by oneself can make all parties, especially domestic consumers later, emotionally more acceptable.

…………

"What's going on today?" After returning to the upper floor, Huang Jingping keenly felt that Feng Yiping was a little different from usual.

"Nothing," Feng Yiping hugged her, "I just made a decision that will have a profound impact today."

"A decision that will be very beneficial to us?" Huang Jingping asked this first.

"Advantageous? That is inevitable,"

For my online platform, I found an executive team that is destined to be excellent, and I also found a good opportunity for myself to invest in the most successful Internet company in China... This is definitely a good thing.

Besides, thinking about the possibility that he might get at least 40% of the shares, and the market value of Ali later, although he has passed the time when he was excited about the money, it will inevitably be a little excited because the money is too big.

Yahoo and Softbank’s investments in Ali are both corporate in nature, so even if there are such large returns, it is not too obvious to be divided by the many shareholders of the two companies.

However, Jiasheng is different. Although there are also this and that shareholders on the surface, they are actually left-handed and right-handed. Think about the company with a market value of Alibaba. 40% of the shares are actually held by one person. That is about personal wealth. , Bill Gates, Buffett and others, what counts?

Thinking about it, Feng Yiping felt that he had to blow the cold wind.

However, at the beginning, he still insisted not to involve any of the three bat companies. Now, because of the development of his company, he has no choice on this issue.

Haha, this is really a very fragile persistence.

The main reason is that, although I was sure that I would succeed at that time, I didn't expect to be so successful, in so many fields.

When he opened a convenience store, his vision of his future online shopping mall was only similar to an online supermarket like Yihaodian. Now, it really doesn't work if you don't preemptively become a Tmall.

It can be seen that all the presets in the world are the same as the presets of a girl in the first half of her love affair. They are very beautiful, but not realistic.

It is also the same as those adult women who are searching for their significant other, and they have the same presuppositions about their marriage partner: they have a house, preferably a villa with a swimming pool; if they have a car, a two-door supercar is best... understandable, but It is difficult to implement.

In many cases, the ultimate decision to stop us can only be beautiful or cruel reality.

…………

"Well, Amanda is asleep," Huang Jingping turned her head and kissed Feng Yiping proficiently, her eyes full of love. She obviously understood the reason why Feng Yiping was hot.

Obviously Feng Yiping would not be too late to explain clearly to her. He twisted her back with one hand through the clothes, and then reached into the skirt and pulled it down, so as to skillfully solve her two most important weapons... ….

After more than 20 minutes, looking at the very clear and deep humanoid mark on the leather sofa, Huang Jingping, who was leaning on Feng Yiping softly, was a little shy, "It's all sweat, I have to wash it tomorrow."

"Since we are going to wash the sofa, let them also wash the carpet."

"Ah, why? Oh!" Huang Jingping, who was pressed by Feng Yiping on the carpet next to the coffee table, immediately understood that she had asked a lot of questions.

The temperature in the room quickly rises again.......

…………

After soaking in the bathtub, Huang Jingping regained some energy, but it is inevitable that there is no charm in the voice, "The day after tomorrow, I want to go back to town again, stay at my house for a few days, and stay at your house for a few days,"

"Well, I have no objection." The parents on both sides may not miss them now, but they will definitely miss Amanda, the baby granddaughter, if there is a chance, they should be shown more.

"After that, whether you leave or not, I have to go back to the U.S. The restaurant is now at a critical time,"

"I have to stay in the capital for a few days. I have to leave for a month and a half at the latest." This time I went to the United States again, naturally for the visit of the larger and larger entrepreneurs that I initiated.

This is a major thing he uses his influence ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to do, and there are a lot of his own considerations in this matter, there is no room for loss, the related preparation and coordination work is not ordinary Easy.

"It's the problem of studying abroad for a few younger siblings. It's a bit troublesome."

Feng Yiping's three cousins ​​and Huang Qinping, with their current grades, want to apply to a prestigious American school, it is impossible, but a few of them are now very concerned about this matter.

And because of Feng Yiping, they are now not considering whether it is a prestigious school.

This is a bit equivalent to taking four guys with average grades into a school like Tsinghua University and Peking University, which is not so difficult.

Although Feng Yiping has a good relationship with many universities in the United States, especially those well-known universities, through the Hong Kong Student Aid Foundation, it is not realistic to let them accept four unqualified students.

And Feng Yiping didn't want to donate a large sum to a prestigious school in the United States just because of their few.

However, this is indeed my own responsibility.

"Or, let them apply on their own so that they understand the difficulty of this matter, or let them go to the United States to study at a less well-known university. If they are not satisfied, they will be familiar with and consolidate in the United States for a period of time. They apply to Harvard, Yale and Stanford by themselves,"

"Yes, they don't actually need a conspicuous diploma now," Huang Jingping said

In fact, the question Feng Yiping wants to talk to Huang Jingping most now is what Jin Ling said. Why did he dodge a little when he saw Jin Ling this time?

But he was a little guilty, and now this time is really not a good time to ask such a question, because Huang Jingping felt the change behind him again, "Well, are you okay?..."
