Vol 5 Chapter 772: competition

Jin Ling greeted Lao Ma and Feng Yiping at the door of the office, "Mr. Ma, please come in."

"President Jin, I won't go in anymore," Lao Ma said in a hurry, "I made a suggestion to Yiping, but this time, we will jointly organize a shopping festival. Yiping thinks it is good, I have to go back and arrange it. ,"

"We must also make our own efforts for the prosperity of the e-commerce market," Lao Ma smiled and glanced at Feng Yiping.

"That's natural, Mr. Ma and your company are currently the banner of domestic e-commerce. With Mr. Ma joining you, the atmosphere this time will naturally be more enthusiastic," Jin Ling said with a smile.

Jin Ling was talking about atmosphere.

"Hehe," Lao Ma must have heard what she meant, "I know that for the launch of Jiasheng Mall, the two have done a lot of work recently, so you still have to pay attention to your health."

"Yes, you see Mr. Ma is getting younger this day, Mr. Jin, you have to study hard," Feng Yiping said.

"Mr. Ma, everything is on track, and the development is extremely smooth. How can I learn this?"

"Where?" Lao Ma stood at the door of Jin Ling's office with his hips akimbo, with great momentum. "We dare not say anything else. After all, it has been in operation for so long. In terms of processes and common problems, there may still be problems. Some experience,"

"We all know that no matter what, no matter how good the advance plan is, there will always be many unexpected problems after the actual operation. Therefore, we welcome the Jiasheng Mall team to visit us and see all our departments. , All open, just behold where you want," Lao Ma waved his hand, very proud.

"Thank you, I will be a family in the future. We should help and take care of each other."

Jin Ling glanced at Feng Yiping, and when Lao Ma said that, he took a ride for granted this time.

Feng Yiping shook his head slightly, "Is there anything I need to coordinate, my phone is turned on 24 hours a day,"

"I try not to disturb you at night," the old horse smiled.

"Nothing to bother," Indeed, this evening, alone, how to bother.

"You don't need to give it away, and you are welcome to visit Yiping. Mr. Jin has been there several times. As a major shareholder, you have never been there once. It's not justified."

"Definitely, definitely," they still took the old horse to the elevator door.

…………

"The eloquence of President Ma," Jin Ling said with emotion.

"It's not so good," Feng Yiping said.

However, just like a good swimmer drowning in the water, the old horse who can talk about it, in the past and in the future, has often caused controversy because of his "big mouth".

"Just let them hitchhike?"

"It's okay. Objectively speaking, their participation really made this time stronger and the influence will be wider," Feng Yiping said. "Speaking of which, there is no need to go to the board of directors for such things. They want to do it. You can do it. Isn't it still discussed with us?"

"Why, we have all prepared for this time, are we still worried that our performance this time will be worse than them?" He smiled and looked at Jin Ling.

"I always feel that this matter is a bit subtle. You see, you guys have clearly set such a general direction, but why are there some rivalries on both sides this time?" Jin Ling asked.

"Actually, it is more accurate to say that it is a self-expression. Of course, you are right. It really means a bit of competition."

"Why? The companies we acquired before did not do this?" Jin Ling really couldn't understand.

"The previously acquired ones did not have such a high degree of overlap in business areas," Feng Yiping said. "But this is not the most critical. The key is that there are still quite a few variables in the agreement we have concluded, such as the previous investors. Exit,"

Externally speaking, it is a merger, but in fact it is an acquisition. It's just that, it looks good on each other's face.

Before the merger, Feng Yiping's request was that the original investors in Ali, such as Softbank, who were later criticized by the Chinese people, must quit.

For venture capital, this is also common practice. In addition to cashing out at IPO, it is also common practice to cash out when the invested company is acquired.

But letting SoftBank cash out will probably take a lot of effort.

"I think this problem is definitely not a problem with Ma's eloquence," Jin Ling said.

"Of course I believe him too," Feng Yiping nodded, "There is another reason for this arrangement. For this reason, Lao Ma may not have any good solutions."

"Ali's team is a very good team, and also a very exclusive team," he said.

Speaking of Ali's xenophobia, no one knows better than Feng Yiping.

Of course, when we talk about this, we have to talk about Yahoo China, which was "acquired" by Ali.

Speaking of it, before it was "acquired" by Ali, Yahoo China was really not a bad asset. Objectively speaking, the cardinal brought his own brothers, and he did not do badly when Yahoo America did not provide financial support. .

While doing a good job of the portal, Yahoo search surpassed Google China to rank second, mailbox users surpassed Netease to rank second, and instant messaging Yahoo Messenger daily active users exceeded 10 million...

After Ali took over, Mr. Ma announced that Yahoo! China went public for three years. After that, he abolished the well-developed Yisou and cut off the profitable wireless and brand business, making those people go to the original boss, Lao Zhou.

But he also wanted to search, and even simply replaced the traditional Yahoo portal homepage with a search box. This caused Yang Zhiyuan's strong dissatisfaction and demanded that Ma must change it back.

This changed in the past and then changed it back, the interval was only three or four months, and then, only a year later, another revision...

These tossing and tossing actions can only show that Ma is not sure about the development direction of Yahoo China. He is constantly trial and error. This is a rare event in Ma's career.

Isn't anyone in Alibaba who can do Yahoo well? This answer is of course no.

With the ability of the Ali team, the foundation of Yahoo China and Yahoo's influence in the Internet field, not to mention other developments, it is not difficult to make it a successful portal website.

But what happened later?

Although Yahoo China had been going downhill before Jack Ma took over, Yahoo China eventually fell into a merger with Koubei and became an e-commerce shopping guide website.

Such a result can clearly be seen that those people in Ali who do practical things really didn't care about Yahoo China.

Why is this happening?

According to Feng Yiping’s analysis, the real reason is mostly due to the xenophobic sentiment within Alibaba~www.wuxiaspot.com~Alibaba’s later achievements are indeed made by a large number of practical people. Lao Ma is the top retreat leader. Of course it is also very important, but at that time let him, as a spiritual leader, who did not understand technology like Feng Yiping, personally do a pragmatic thing, and watched him do it. Why didn’t the people around him discourage him? Fight for reason?

This must have a lot to do with Yahoo’s reputation at that time and not a direct line of Alibaba. Alibaba’s team rejects such a well-developed new section that may keep pace with e-commerce.

To say that the current Jiasheng’s influence in the country is definitely higher than that of Yahoo China. If the two companies merge smoothly, then according to Feng Yiping and Lao Ma’s agreement, the daily operation of the Ali team will be the mainstay. Feng Yiping is worried. Will my own Jiasheng Mall be disabled by those guys deliberately.

Feng Yiping believes that Lao Ma itself naturally did not have such an idea, but speaking of it, in the original time and space, in those days related to youth, I believe that Lao Ma and Yang Zhiyuan and Sun Zhengyi were indeed in common. Dreams come together.

So whether it is Softbank's investment in Ali or Yahoo's investment in Ali, the process is very fast.

But in the end, no one may mention the dream, and the warmth is nowhere to be seen, only the iron horse and Jin Ge are left...

This is the reality, and this is the question that cooperation must be considered in earnest.

Therefore, before the merger, it is quite necessary to show strength and show off muscles.

"I have to remind them again, if they lose this time, hum," Jin Ling hummed twice.

"Okay, you don't need to put too much pressure on them. Of course, the meaning must be analyzed clearly," Feng Yiping said.

At the same time, the old horse sitting in the car was also making a phone call, and he informed his family very briefly, "The competition has started."
