According to common sense, Xiao Qi is the largest shareholder and a controlling shareholder. If he wants to issue additional dilutive shares, he doesn't need to worry about Ma Yun.
However, only Ma Yun's team can do well in Taobao.com, and Ma Yun is indeed a genius. Xiao Qi wants him to continue to work for him, so he cannot speak in a commanding manner.
Even if you have a kinder attitude, there is nothing to lose, right?
Only the benefits that fall into your pocket are benefits. Those false etiquette and competitive mentality are really useless.
Ma Yun is really brave, but he is not afraid.
This confidence comes from Ma Yun’s more than ten years of hard work in Alibaba. It comes from the fact that everyone from top to bottom in Alibaba was brought up by Ma Yun. If these people give up their burden, then Alibaba and Tao Bao
The Internet will definitely be severely damaged, and it will definitely not recover within a year and a half.
Of course, unless absolutely necessary, Ma Yun would never want to fall out with Xiao Qi and leave with the team.
Because there is a natural monopoly in online commerce.
Ma Yun saw it clearly from the beginning.
For example, once eBay started to develop, other C2C websites basically had no chance of survival. If they did not adjust their strategies according to national conditions, Ma Yun's Taobao.com would not be able to open.
For example, once Amazon develops, there will be no other B2C websites.
There is another most direct example. After he started working on Taobao.com, no matter what kind of c2c website it was, it was unable to develop. At most, it could only eat a little bit of the residue of Taobao.com, but there was no way to shake Taobao.com.
It can even be said that Xiao Qi's Xiaoyao Mall took advantage of Amazon's targeted development of the Chinese market and Xiaoyao Mall developed. From now on, no matter what b2c website it is, it will definitely not be able to shake Xiaoyao Mall's position.
If Ma Yun and Xiao Qi fall out and leave with the management team, he will definitely have to start from scratch.
He cannot take away the data, shopping habits, etc. of tens of millions of users of Taobao.com. He reopens a c2c website. Under the suppression of the behemoth Taobao.com, God knows how far it can develop.
What's more, Xiao Qi will be in control of Taobao.com from now on. According to Xiao Qi's level of genius and Xiao Qi's control of Xiaoyao Mall, Ma Yun is certain that Taobao.com will definitely develop smoothly.
Once the behemoth Taobao.com continues to develop according to its inertia, it will be disastrous for any competitor. Even if Ma Yun has great ability, he will not be able to defeat Taobao.com, which is "preemptive".
Considering that Alibaba Group was built by myself, whether Alibaba, Taobao or Zifubao are all my own efforts, and I and my team still hold 30% of the shares, why should I have to lose and leave?
ah?
He is an extremely stubborn person, otherwise he would not be able to win the future.
And when Ma Yun encounters difficulties, he will never back down, he will only face them head on, and this time he came to Xiao Qi as well.
Meet 70% of the big bosses. Not only are they not flattering, but they are aggressive. I'm afraid no one else can do this except Ma Yun.
His strength is naturally the talent and achievements of him and his team.
Leaving aside Ma Yun's tough attitude, Xiao Qi's sudden opposition to him was not surprising at all.
If he wants to use Ma Yun, he must use a Ma Yun who is not afraid of anyone and refuses to accept anyone. If the suppression continues, then Ma Yun will no longer be Ma Yun. And Tao Bao.com will not be the Tao Bao.com.
"If Mr. Ma has any opinions, you can tell us in detail." Xiao Qi said calmly without getting angry: "This is my first time mastering Alibaba, so I'm definitely not as familiar with it as you."
"I don't agree with you, Qishao, to issue additional shares. Our management needs a certain number of shares in order to have a positive fighting spirit." Ma Yun said without concealment, "I think you value Alibaba Group because of our success.
.If you want us to be more successful in the future, then you must respect us. This kind of behavior of reducing our shares right away is absolutely unacceptable."
Xiao Qi shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Ma, I think you have mistaken two things. First, I did not reduce your shares for no reason. I invested 80 billion in real money, and I also gave away 10 billion for free.
You. Yu Qing, the 10 billion is to thank you for your efforts over the years; Yu Li, I am using the money to dilute your shares, there is nothing wrong with it.
Second, I am the largest shareholder and a shareholder with absolute power. I want to do this. I just inform you and do not ask for your opinion. If you just say that I do not respect you, I think
Being able to turn your efforts into wealth is already my respect for you."
Ma Yun's face was ugly: "Isn't 70% enough? Qi Shao, you don't pay attention to sharing with foreigners, can't you share success with us?"
"20% of the shares is very suitable for your management team, not to mention that everyone has already made money. What is this other than sharing?" Xiao Qi said, "Mr. Ma, don't always look at me to take something away from you, Ali.
Alibaba Group is mine now! I never do wasted work. Since I have invested so much money, I must see success! With my abundant capital and strong strength, the success of Alibaba Group can be shortened by a few years.
Your success could have come a few years earlier, so why are you dissatisfied?"
After a pause, Xiao Qi said: "I keep my word. Mr. Ma, I will let you control Alibaba for as many years as you want! On the one hand, you can gain huge wealth, and on the other hand, you can
Wouldn't it be nice to have control over Alibaba, which has ten times brighter prospects than before? Don't forget, whether you hold 20% or 30% of the shares, you are a minority shareholder. I want to drive you away.
It doesn’t even take any effort!”
Ma Yun was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
But he couldn't deny what Xiao Qi said.
Xiao Qi is really too cruel.
Last time I acquired 30% of Alibaba shares from Softbank, but Yang Zhiyuan refused to sell him 40% of Alibaba shares. Unexpectedly, this guy actually privatized it directly in one go. Now Alibaba’s
The shares naturally became his, and it was too late for anyone to stop him.
When encountering such a decisive person, 20% or 30% of the shares are really useless, the result is the same.
It's just that Xiao Qi obviously valued him, and Xiao Qi's identity meant that he would always control Alibaba, and he would never break his promise.
This also gives Ma Yun a very broad prospect.
"Do you dare to promise that you will always use me?" Ma Yun looked at Xiao Qi, "Even if I might bring the Alibaba Group to the point of being worthless?"
Xiao Qi smiled, "Alibaba was originally created by Mr. Ma. If you are willing to do this, it only proves that I, Xiao Qi, am blind. If you are blind, you should pay the price of being blind."
Ma Yun fell silent.
He kept drinking tea, one cup after another.
It wasn't until the pot of tea was finished that Ma Yun raised his head: "You can dilute our management's shareholding to 20%, but I request that if it is time to go public, you cannot take our shares.
If we go out for an IPO, you will never be able to make any plans for the remaining 20%!"
"good!"
Xiao Qi readily agreed.
After getting 80% of the shares of Alibaba Group, what else is he dissatisfied with?
According to Wall Street's valuation of Alibaba Group at US$200 billion in 2013, Xiao Qi's shares will soar to US$160 billion in six years.
This is just a case where Ma Yun has missed several good development opportunities. If Xiao Qi gives him sufficient funds to put him on the right development path, a valuation of US$300 billion is definitely not impossible.
At a price of nearly 40 billion US dollars, in exchange for a return of 240 billion US dollars, this business is worth it.
Therefore, we must not drive away Ma Yun and the management team because they are too greedy. It will be really tiring to let Xiao Qi worry about management.
Besides, Ma Yun actually didn't know that Xiao Qi had no intention of listing Alibaba Group.
Both Taobao.com and Zifubao are the core assets of the Xiao family. It was Xiao Qi's plan from the beginning to ensure that the core assets would not be listed on the market.
I really don’t know what kind of reaction Ma Yun and the others will have when they know Xiao Qi’s thoughts?
After thinking about it, Xiao Qi continued: "Of course, as the owner of Alibaba Group, I still have two requirements. The first one is that Alibaba is not listed in Hong Kong, and it is directly privatized and delisted for me. Then
Give them some money back!"
"Okay!" Ma Yun agreed without thinking. He had always wanted to do this. The current Hong Kong stock market is half-dead, which is far from being in line with Alibaba's current valuation status. Now that Xiao Qi's money is backing him, what's more?
It can be implemented immediately.
"Second, I have a bank called Fairy Bank. From now on, all Alibaba's capital transactions, including the third-party payment platform Zifubao, will be placed in Fairy Bank!"
"this……"
Ma Yun hesitated a little, "I'm here in Jiangnan, and I've been happily cooperating with them..."
"Those who have already cooperated will continue to cooperate. From now on, everything will be in Fairy Bank. I will give you another three years. After three years, the existing cooperation will be terminated. All financial operations will be placed in Fairy Bank." Xiao Qi backed down.
One step.
"All right!"
Ma Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Three years could be considered a buffer.
He had always wanted to have Alibaba's own bank, because it would be much more convenient, including the financing fund business for Jiangnan merchants that he was good at, which also needed a bank to handle it.
Now that Xiao Qi is the boss and he owns a bank, let’s try to see if we can work together! (To be continued)
ps: Don’t think that Ma Yun is invincible. In fact, he always wanted Sun Zhenyi to sell back Alibaba’s shares to him, but Sun Zhenyi ignored him. From the beginning to the end, Sun Zhenyi’s dealings with Ma Yun were to firmly suppress Ma Yun.
