"President Mo, you know the prospects of Weibo. The price of 13 billion to control Weibo is really a little less." Cao Wei replied with a smile.

Mo Yi frowned, his expression hard to look at.

If Alibaba had not been blocked by Changchao and needed Weibo so much, it would have been difficult to earn even 12 billion, let alone 13 billion.

It took a lot of effort to convince Jack Ma and gave him a price of 13 billion, but Cao was still not satisfied. He was so insatiable!

"How much does Mr. Cao want?"

"16 billion!" Cao Wei said decisively.

"!!!" Ten thousand alpacas roared past in Mo Yi's heart.

16 billion?

Crazy?

"Dr. Cao, I come here with sincerity."

"I'm also serious about making an offer."

Mo Yi was speechless for a moment: "..."

"Director Cao, 13 billion, as long as you agree, you can sign the contract immediately. With Alibaba's support, Sina Weibo can go further and develop better!"

The corner of Cao Wei's mouth twitched. Are all people in Alibaba so confident?

Your Alipay is almost dead, but you still want Sina Weibo to become bigger?

I believe you!

But he said with a smile: "Sina Weibo also hopes to become a strategic ally of Alibaba, but I am not the only one who has the final say on Weibo. 13 billion is really unrealistic, at least 15.5 billion!"

"15.5 billion is impossible!" Mo Yi also lost patience.

If it's a little bit close, we can still talk about it, but now the difference is a full 2.5 billion, so it's a waste of time to talk.

Hearing Mo Yi's impatience, Cao Wei smiled and said: "President Mo, let me tell you the bottom line. 15 billion, 51% of the shares, this is the bottom line."

"15 billion..." Mo Yi's expression was extremely complicated: "Is there no more talk?"

"If you want to control Weibo, you will need 15 billion." Cao Wei said calmly, and there was no doubt in his words.

Mo Yi understood what Cao Wei meant and nodded: "Okay, I will discuss it with the chairman again."

"Okay." Cao Wei hung up the phone calmly, feeling very good.

The vice president of Sina on the opposite side couldn't help but said: "Chairman, the price of 13 billion is not low, which is equivalent to a valuation of 26 billion. Why refuse? If it insists on 15 billion, Alibaba is unlikely to agree and will probably give up its controlling stake!"

Cao Wei chuckled: "What I want is for Alibaba to give up its controlling stake in Weibo!"

"???"

The vice president was confused, trying to figure out Cao Wei's words, and then he understood the meaning:

"Chairman, are you still firmly opposed to Alibaba Holdings?"

Cao Wei nodded: "Of course, I don't exclude Ali from buying shares, but I don't want to be controlled by Ali."

"So you used a price tag of 15 billion to make Alibaba quit?"

"That's right! Weibo can cooperate with Alibaba and form alliances, but it must remain independent and must not become a vassal of Alibaba!"

Cao Weiyi said sternly that this was his plan.

This should be done whether it is for the development of Sina Weibo or for yourself.

Once Alibaba controls Sina Weibo, not to mention other senior executives, even he, the chairman of Weibo, will be fired.

Of course, in name, he will be transferred to other departments of Alibaba and promoted overtly and covertly.

With this set of tactics, Alibaba is playing dirty tricks, and everyone in the industry knows it.

Alibaba headquarters.

Mo Yi approached Jack Ma: "Chairman, the person named Cao is crazy. He asked for 16 billion, and finally it was reduced to 15 billion. We can't live with less."

"15 billion?" Jackma's face was solemn: "This guy is really crazy. He really thinks that Ali will not be able to survive if we leave Sina Weibo? You are kidding!"

"Um... Chairman, now that Changchao has blocked us, Douyin has also blocked us, we really can't leave Weibo!" Mo Yi couldn't help but say.

The corner of Jackma's mouth twitched: "..."

But I have to admit that this is a fact.

"15 billion is unrealistic. Even if I agree, the board of directors will not agree. Even 13 billion is difficult."

Jack Ma said in a deep voice: "In this case, we can only settle for the next best thing, give up the controlling stake, and choose to become a shareholder!"

"This is also a way." Mo Yi nodded.

Jack Ma was a little tired: "President Mo, you go to Sina and talk about the controlling stake. If it doesn't work, then give up the controlling stake and talk about investing in Sina Weibo."

"Okay!" Mo Yi turned and left.

Jack Ma called another senior executive: "Old Liu, go to NetEase and talk about the acquisition of NetEase Weibo."

"yes!"

Although NetEase Weibo is far inferior to Sina Weibo, it is still an option.

At least NetEase Weibo doesn't dare to speak loudly.

If NetEase Weibo can be successfully acquired, there will be no need to invest in Sina Weibo.

What Jackma likes to do most is to take complete control!

In the following days, Alibaba's two vice presidents all went out to negotiate for Weibo's holdings and shares, and to find new traffic entrances for Taobao and Tmall.

On the Internet, the turmoil between Alibaba and Xingyi Technology to block each other has become more and more intense.

In the past, cooperating with foreign media to smear Xingyi Technology was enough to destroy our character.

Now it has completely banned Changchao Payment, which has aroused condemnation and resistance from many users!

Upon seeing this, JD.com saw an opportunity and took action decisively.

The next day, a piece of news hit the hot search:

[JD.com respects user freedom and fully supports Changchao payment. When shopping, go to JD.com for faster logistics and better services!]

As soon as this hot search came out, those aggrieved Taobao users abandoned Taobao and turned to JD.com.

Although Taobao is large these days, it is not a monopoly.

What's more, JD.com's logistics timeliness still beats Taobao.

The four links and one expressway in 2013 were very slow and far from as fast as ten years later.

Without any surprise, the number of users of JD.com began to surge, while Taobao's users lost a large number of users.

The great Qiangzi is in a great mood. This wave of wealth and wealth cannot be missed!

Call Wang Yi immediately:

"Director Wang, Xingyi Technology and Alibaba are at war. JD.com fully supports Changchao Payment. Now is a good time. Look at JD.com's listing..."

Wang Yi had already expected this, and the Great Qiangzi really couldn't sit still.

However, now that Xingyi Technology and Alibaba are blocking each other, it is indeed a good opportunity for JD.com to grow bigger.

Many users who boycott Alipay and support Changchao Pay will abandon Taobao and choose JD.com.

As a result, JD.com's user base and revenue will increase significantly, and its performance will become better. It is indeed a good opportunity to go public.

Wang Yi nodded: "Okay, taking this opportunity, JD.com's performance can surge a lot. If it goes public at this time, the stock price can also go higher!"

"Thank you, Director Wang, for your support. Then we will submit a listing application immediately and go public as soon as possible!" Da Qiangzi beamed with joy.

As for the information?

It has been prepared for a long time.

If it weren't for Wang Yi's pressure, JD.com would have wanted to go public in January.

However, if it were to go public at that time, it would miss out on the tremendous wealth and wealth, but its performance would not be high, and neither would its stock price.

Nowadays, Alibaba and Xingyi Technology are fighting, but it has given JD.com a chance. It is the best time to go public!

Wang Yi had no objection to this either.

As a major shareholder of JD.com, if JD.com’s stock price is high, Wang Yi can earn more by cashing out.

More importantly, JD.com can also be used to weaken Taobao and Tmall, and strengthen Changchao Pay!

There is no surprise. In just one day, JD.com has added tens of millions of users.

All are transferred from Taobao!

Seeing this scene, Jackma was very angry:

"Damn it, I didn't expect that JD.com would benefit a lot from our battle with Xingyi Technology!"

"In order to chat and pay freely, many Taobao users gave up Taobao and chose JD.com! It's really too much!"
