Chapter 1576 Frustration (Congratulations to Rosten
As the most rational analysis, Ma Yun felt that Xiao Qi's acquisition of Alibaba's shares must not only be to share the wealth brought by Taobao.com, but also to have the idea of controlling Alibaba Group.
But because of his luck mentality, Ma Yun never thought deeply in this direction. Did he think that if he gave more money, he could satisfy Xiao Qi and take back his shares?
As a result, I now know that Xiao Qi’s ambition is greater than he thought, and he just wants to swallow up the pace of Alibaba Group!
Think about it, the entire Alibaba Group is only 40 to 50 billion now. Xiao Qi’s wealth is at least 20 to 30 times that of the Alibaba Group, and the cash flow in his hands is terrifying. How could he covet his own money?
Two to three tens of billions of RMB? Are you kidding me internationally?
Thinking of this, Ma Yun inevitably felt a sense of sadness and anger in his heart: I have worked hard for more than ten years and finally managed to conquer such a country. It seems that it will get better and better, but there is such a vicious tiger who wants to annex it.
My career is really too much!
Ma Yun's thoughts are not easy to show on his face, because he knows that the person standing in front of him is not a company employee who allows him to give orders, but one of the people standing at the top of the world's business community.
If the scope of this business world is limited to China, that "one" can be removed without any controversy.
"Qi Shao, Alibaba has its own ideals and goals, and it is not suitable for outsiders to determine its trend." Ma Yun looked at Xiao Qi with incomparable perseverance and determination on his face.
"I agree." Xiao Qi nodded lightly.
"But...um!?"
Ma Yun's prepared rebuttal completely collapsed under this "I agree."
He was confused for a moment.
Xiao Qi doesn’t want to acquire Alibaba Group?
But why did he say that he wanted to put the Alibaba logo in his victory room? This is purely a sign that he wants to eat up the Alibaba Group!
"For me, there are many ways to own a company." Xiao Qi saw his doubts and explained, "Mr. Ma, have you heard of LinkedIn?"
"I know! This is an American professional social network, very professional." Ma Yun said directly. Even though Ma Yun is only engaged in online business, he is not unfamiliar with network technology at all, even though LinkedIn is not like the later generations.
Famous. But he also knows it.
"His current CEO and chairman are both the original founders. Not only do they retain certain shares of their own, I also promise that if they do well, there will be continuous share incentive policies." Xiao Qi said calmly,
"If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse. I understand this. I have never thought about letting people make money for me for free."
Ma Yun's mind immediately raced with thoughts. He was speaking slower and slower now because it was easy to say the wrong thing accidentally.
Confronting Xiao Qi was like walking on thin ice.
"Qi Shao, is this your promise to Alibaba?" Ma Yun asked tentatively. "If we do well, the shares in your hands will be fed back to the management as a reward?"
"I haven't finished what I just said." Xiao Qi did not answer, but continued: "But in China, I hate this kind of equity incentive behavior the most. Mr. Ma, do you know why?"
Ma Yun didn't know how much his heart sank today, and he secretly felt that something was wrong. But he could only follow his tone and ask: "Why?"
"Because the management of Hua Guo has the least professional ethics." Xiao Qi said in a stronger tone, "If you hand over a company to them and play with it, you will find that all the high-quality assets of this company have been lost.
, and then went bankrupt directly, but these senior executives used the wealth plundered from the company in various ways to take over the company's service areas again, handing over the entire market to them.
This is not the case in developed economies. Even if he is the founder, even if his shares become very small in the end, these people can still be loyal to the company and loyal to the shareholders of the entire enterprise... Yang Zhiyuan was dismissed from the CEO position several times in YAHOO, Qiao Bangzhu
They were even kicked out directly, but I have never heard of them taking revenge on the company and pocketing the company's wealth.
But just because they can do this does not mean that we can do this. The top executives of Chinese companies have always respected the concept of "family world". It is precisely because of their various behaviors that I cannot trust the so-called elites in the country.
!Mr. Ma, if it were you, would you dare to trust them so much?"
Ma Yun's face was as sinking as water.
He knew that Xiao Qi was beating himself up.
Although he didn't know why, he noticed Xiao Qi's distrust of him.
That's right.
Xiao Qi admired Ma Yun's talents, but could not understand some of his selfish behaviors.
For example, the "Zifubao Equity Transfer Incident" caused a stir in later generations.
Because China's central bank stipulates that mobile payment licenses do not allow foreign holdings, Ma Yun took the opportunity to directly transfer the Zifu Bao company, which has grown to a value of at least US$30 billion, to a company under his name as the absolute majority shareholder.
This suddenly stirred up a hornet's nest. For a time, investment institutions in Europe and the United States were criticizing this, claiming that they no longer believed in Chinese companies, and even once refused Chinese companies to IPO in the United States.
The development of Zifubao was originally accompanied by Taobao.com, and the resources used by both are from Alibaba Group. Since two foreign institutions hold shares in it, why do you think you should take away such an important thing?
Just take it away?
In fact, what Ma Yun did was right. At that time, Alibaba was owned by YAHOO for 40% of the shares, SoftBank Group held 29% of the shares, and Ma Yun and other management members only held 31% of the shares. This was a company absolutely controlled by foreign capital.
Zifu Bao responded to the national policy and withdrew from the Alibaba Group. This is understandable, otherwise the central bank would definitely sanction Zifu Bao.
However, if Ma Yun didn't look so ugly and gave YAHOO and SoftBank Group more cash or even stock compensation, then this matter would be over and it wouldn't be such a big fuss at all.
But Ma Yun just took away Zifu Bao and only compensated a small amount of money. This kind of thing was obviously not done by smart people, and many people couldn't figure it out. Even Xiao Qi was wondering if it was them.
There was some agreement secretly.
However, this matter is not a matter of this life after all. Once 40% of YAHOO shares are obtained, Alibaba Group will belong to Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi himself is also Chinese, so naturally there will be no "Zifubao dilemma".
, then Ma Yun would have no chance to transfer his Zifu Bao shares.
After a moment, Ma Yun mused: "In China, maybe the business rules are not so legal, but the necessary trust is still necessary. If it were me, I would strictly supervise based on trust and would not allow
They have the opportunity to make mistakes. And as the second largest shareholder, Qishao, you can also strictly supervise us."
After a pause, he directly stated the purpose of today, "But if possible, I still want to represent Alibaba Group and buy the shares in your hands. As long as it is a price that I, Ma Yun, can afford, you
Just ask!"
Ma Yun is a representative of a group of businessmen in Jiangnan, so he can naturally use his shares as collateral to borrow tens of billions.
Xiao Qi smiled, "I also want to say this to Mr. Ma. Let's do this. You quote a price. How much are you willing to sell for 30% of your management's shares? I won't counter-offer."
Good guy!
Ma Yun inevitably felt jealous in his heart.
This means that if you have money, you are an uncle!
Look at their tone, they didn't raise the price at all, but I was afraid that Xiao Qishi would open his mouth and said "the price is affordable", and the two courages were immediately different.
In the midst of emotion, Ma Yun did not forget to refuse: "I'm sorry, Qi Shao, we have great feelings for Alibaba and will not sell our shares."
"Similarly, I have great confidence in you, Mr. Ma, so I won't sell it." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "You can buy it if you want. It's 20 billion US dollars, no matter the price."
"Well……"
Ma Yun couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, "Qi Shao, are you kidding?"
"I'm not kidding." Xiao Qi looked at him and said, "On the other hand, as long as you are willing to sell your shares to me, the 20 billion US dollars will fall into your account."
Ma Yun swallowed his saliva again, but beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Xiao Qi valued Alibaba Group at 66.7 billion U.S. dollars, which is unique. Now Alibaba Group has not even reached 66.7 billion yuan!
If he gets 20 billion U.S. dollars, Ma Yun will have more than 12 billion U.S. dollars in his own hands, which is about 90 billion when converted into RMB. He will definitely have no pressure to run three more Alibaba!
However, Ma Yun is a very human being after all. He hesitated for just a moment, and he immediately returned to his senses, "I'm sorry, Qi Shao, we want to do business, not just make money."
"Okay then, just do it!" Xiao Qi smiled and said, "If you want to use me in any way, Mr. Ma, you can ask. If nothing else, I have enough funds!"
It’s weird that I would ask you for money!
Asking for money represents a dilution of shares, can I do that?
Ma Yun also felt deeply frustrated.
It’s really difficult to negotiate shopping with the world’s richest man!
They have enough money to kill Alibaba, so who cares about the conditions?
But at the same time, Ma Yun also knew that Xiao Qi was very optimistic about Alibaba Group, otherwise he would not have given the ultra-high valuation of US$66.7 billion.
If Alibaba Group had not been Ma Yun's lifelong career and had not entrusted Ma Yun with his vision for the future, he would have signed the equity transfer agreement at this moment.
It seems that I can only find opportunities in the future!
The moment he drove out of Fairy Company's headquarters, Ma Yun secretly clenched his fists.
I won't admit defeat!
There can only be one master of Alibaba!
That's me!!
PS: 9,000 words! Suddenly I discovered that there are two more guardians, and there will be an update tomorrow. It’s not easy. It’s all thanks to the accumulation of the brothers little by little that we can achieve the current results!
