In the empty living room, Xiao Qi stood up and looked at the garden area full of green trees. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or excited.
Originally we were just talking about Weibo's royalty payments, but why did it suddenly turn into talking about purchasing shares of Alibaba Group?
And looking at Cowell’s appearance, he seems to be very excited!
As the president of YAHOO Asia, Cowell is not only Yang Zhiyuan's confidant, but he must also be very capable.
Because Japan's YAHOO has been profitable for 10 consecutive years, its market value continues to rise, and it is almost close to its parent company. How can Cowell, who replaces Yang Zhiyuan in this most important overseas stronghold, be an ordinary person?
However, never underestimate the stiff-mindedness of those old diehards at YAHOO.
At present, Taobao and Zifubao have not yet made continuous efforts. Although the price of 10 billion US dollars is very high now, it is not without the possibility of fraud.
In 2008, before the most famous acquisition of YAHOO by Microsoft for US$44.6 billion, Microsoft actually made an offer at the beginning of this year, but YAHOO's decision-makers ultimately rejected it because they felt that the offer was very low and did not meet the standards.
YAHOO’s core values.
Management always thinks back to 1999, when YAHOO's highest market value was US$130 billion, and they believe that YAHOO should be worth at least US$53 billion.
There is no way, there is no limit to human greed.
In the acquisition next year that Yang Zhiyuan and a group of management regretted for the rest of their lives, they still insisted on rejecting Microsoft's price of US$44.6 billion. They didn't know until after the financial crisis that YAHOO's market value was only US$12.7 billion.
What stupid thing did you do?
At that time, Microsoft happily opened the champagne, and Yang Zhiyuan and his group were immediately kicked off the stage by angry shareholders.
Yang Zhiyuan was also known as the most greedy and stupid chief.
Later, under the leadership of the female CEO, YAHOO's stock price soared again, reaching the US$40 billion mark at the end of 2013. But anyone who understands will know that YAHOO's ability to stand up again depends on Yang Zhiyuan.
Two investments - 34 shares of YAHOO Japan and the remaining 20 shares of Alibaba Group after selling half to the Alibaba Group management team.
Among them, the market value of YAHOO Japan is 20 billion US dollars, and the IPO valuation of Alibaba Group has soared to about 150 billion US dollars.
In other words, excluding these two assets, Yahoo's market value of US$40 billion, its core technology assets and its US assets are almost infinitely equal to 0.
Everyone knows that in addition to Microsoft's strong desire to acquire YAHOO, Alibaba Group also wants to buy back its own shares, but the reason why it is stuck in the middle is Yang Zhiyuan.
Yang Zhiyuan, who caused the disastrous scene of YAHOO, still has a Chinese character deep down in his heart. No matter what, as long as it is mine, I will not sell it.
In the end, there was really no other way. In 2012, YAHOO could only force Yang Zhiyuan to retire. A few months after he left the CEO position, YAHOO announced an agreement with Alibaba Group to sell Yang Zhiyuan for a total price of US$7.1 billion.
He gave up half of the 40 Alibaba Group shares he held, which is 20.
And Alibaba Group has promised that it will IPO before 2106, and before the IPO, YAHOO will also sell the remaining 20 shares.
According to UBS Group's predictions in 2011, Alibaba Group, which brings together its Taobao, Alibaba, Zifuba and other super giant companies, has a market value of about US$65 billion.
But by the end of 2013, this number soared to 150 billion US dollars, which can be called a new GOOGLE.
It is based on the stimulation of these good news that YAHOO's market value continued to soar in 2012 and 2013, reaching 40 billion US dollars.
According to the above price, if Xiao Qi buys the equity of Alibaba Group for US$10 billion in advance, it will definitely be a great benefit.
Moreover, now, Taobao.com and Zifubao are far from being the places that will dominate the world in the future.
The beginning of the financial crisis in 2008 was the time for them to flex their muscles.
Only after Taobao officially starts Tmall Mall business and completes its B2B2C layout will Alibaba Group officially establish itself as a dominant player.
Now everyone gives the overall valuation of Alibaba Group. The most optimistic investment bank is only 3 billion to 5 billion US dollars. Xiao Qi directly gave 10 billion US dollars. That is a rich temptation that breaks the bottom line. Absolutely few people can.
Persevere.
However, the question is whether Yang Zhiyuan is as inexperienced as the legend says.
If he is sure that the valuation of Alibaba Group will reach 30 to 50 billion U.S. dollars, then it is useless for anyone to say this. Judging from YAHOO's market value on that day, which was about 25 billion U.S. dollars, and Microsoft's premium of 60, it was acquired for 44.6 billion U.S. dollars.
The fact that he could even refuse shows how stubborn this person really is.
Therefore, Xiao Qi really has no confidence in whether he can buy the shares of Alibaba Group.
Speaking of which, Xiao Qi still admires the online commerce developed by Alibaba Group. If he were not a reincarnated person, then he would not be able to reach even 1% of Ma Yun - Ma Yun is the real Internet
A genius in operations, in his hands, China's online business truly shines.
But at the same time, Ma Yun is a very strong person. He is never willing to give up his dominance. If Xiao Qi rashly goes to negotiate and says that he wants to raise funds to invest in Alibaba Group, he will definitely be unwilling and will
Very conflicted.
This is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures.
In this aspect, he and Yang Zhiyuan are actually almost the same type of people.
If it were an American, he would definitely calculate his own gains and losses with a smile. If it is cost-effective, it would be a dream to get more money for development.
Then again, Ma Yun and his management team only hold 31% of the shares of Alibaba Group. If you want to buy more, you might as well go to YAHOO, which holds 40% of the shares, or SOFTBANK, which holds 29% of the shares.
All right.
Yang Zhiyuan is stubborn.
Ma Yun is stubborn.
The only remaining one, Sun Zhenyi of SoftBank, is a more stubborn Chinese descendant.
It would be extremely difficult to buy shares of Alibaba Group from the three of them.
In the future, Ma Yun was driven out of the YAHOO decision-making team because of Yang Zhiyuan, and finally spent a lot of money to redeem the shares of Alibaba Group under the hands of the Americans. If it were Yang Zhiyuan, he would rather YAHOO go bankrupt than sell it back to him.
.
As for the shares held by Sun Zhenyi, Ma Yun has never even thought about it, because it is simply impossible. Sun Zhenyi, an old fox who has been watching Ma Yun grow up, still wants to continue to increase his holdings of Alibaba shares!
It was only by chance that Xiao Qi considered buying some shares of Alibaba Group. Moreover, it was impossible for him to run the operation himself after buying it. He left it to Ma Yun's team, which could make money for him without having to worry about it.
How great is that?
He has a B2C online mall in his hands. If this online mall is completed, it will definitely not be worse than Taobao.com. Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of acres of logistics park in the young man's hands will definitely be the best in the world. Even Taobao.com is the best in the world.
Not comparable.
So, it would definitely be a good thing if it can be done.
If it fails, nothing is lost.
With the help of the opportunity of reincarnation, Xiao Qi can easily add a lot of wealth to himself, and Taobao.com is also one of them.
The result of wanting all the benefits is to exhaust yourself to death.
Xiao Qi now has enough properties in his hands, making the young man wish he had two to handle affairs. If the growth continues like this, is it really necessary to imitate LVMH's Berard or Virgin's Branson?
Same, being the boss of more than 100 companies? (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
