There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 444
Not far from Xixi Wetland, Hangcheng Golden Dragon Square, Ali headquarters.Teacher Ma and some of Ari's partners discussed an important matter for Ari, and they had been discussing this matter for several months.

"Softbank and Yahoo's demands must be dismissed." Mr. Ma looked at the few people in front of him irresistibly. When Ari was listed, Softbank took the opportunity to cheat Ari once. Now Ari has become an existence not inferior to Softbank. Teacher Ma also has enough confidence to reject Sun Zhengyi.

"If you don't agree with the demands of Softbank and Yahoo, Alipay may not be able to completely separate from Ahri. Without Alipay, Ant Financial will lack the biggest support." Peng Lin, who was sitting opposite Teacher Ma, was worried. She said, her statement was echoed by Jing Xiandong.

“After 25 discussions with Softbank and Yahoo, Softbank’s request has been reduced from 10% to 8%, and Yahoo’s request has also been reduced to [-]%. Any operation and personnel arrangement of the financial service.” One of the partners, Ni Xingjun, who is in charge of communicating with the two investment shareholders, told their demands.

"No, Ant Financial must be wholly Chinese-funded. There is no doubt about it, otherwise the central bank will not be able to pass." Teacher Ma said to several people.Teacher Ma wants to use the establishment of Ant Financial to turn Alipay into a domestic-funded enterprise without foreign capital.And this is also due to the requirements of the central bank. After all, financial products that control the consumption habits of Chinese people and the lifeline of the economy cannot be controlled by foreign capital in any case.

"Then we can only buy out the relationship between Alipay and Ahri. Softbank and Yahoo proposed that if they want to completely divest Alipay, they must pay 37.5% of the total market value of Alipay as a buyout fee when they go public."

"What if we buy it out now?" Teacher Ma asked.

Ni Xingjun: "Now the buyout fee will not be less than US$20 billion but will not exceed US$30 billion."

Teacher Ma asked Peng Lin: "How much money can we afford?"

Peng Lin reported directly: "About US$15 billion, of which China Development Development Investment and Tianhong Fund hope to increase their shares and are willing to bear this cost."

"No." Cai Congxin directly objected: "If we increase the equity of these two companies, it will be more difficult for us to carry out financial business in the later stage, and it will be easy to be controlled by others."

Ni Xingjun suggested: "Maybe we can expand the scope of financing. Yongcheng Commercial Bank is very interested in us."

Teacher Ma shook his head: "People in Yongcheng are too domineering in their business. They are also ambitious. Before we develop and grow stronger, these people cannot be contacted. Otherwise, the front door rejects the tiger and the back door enters the wolf. The loss outweighs the gain."

While several people were discussing, Mr. Ma's secretary came to report the news: "Mr. Ma, President Fan of the film company reported that Mr. Shen Fang, the chairman of Wild Fox Films, is in Hangzhou. The film company is talking to Wild Fox and Goose Factory Pictures partnered to develop Khorgos, Mr. Fan would like to ask if you can communicate with Mr. Shen, and the other two partnerships will restrict us in the later stage of the province."

Teacher Ma said impatiently to the secretary: "Reply to Fan Luyuan to let him relax. Shen Fang's vision will not be so short-sighted. He should understand that the balance between Goose Factory and Ari is the kingly way."

"Mr. Ma, I think this is an opportunity." Cai Congxin's eyes lit up when he heard Shen Fang's name: "Shen Fang's Wild Fox Investment holds a lot of funds, and we can absorb him to become a shareholder of Ant Financial. According to his The style of doing things will definitely not interfere with the operation of Ant Financial."

"Although Shen Fang is Chinese, the wild fox investment belongs to foreign capital, which cannot pass the review by the central bank." Peng Lin looked at Cai Congxin and said.They also considered Wild Fox Investment at the beginning, but Huaxia Wild Fox Investment is controlled by the American Wild Fox Company and is a foreign-funded enterprise.

"You can think about it." Teacher Ma said to Peng Lin: "Shen Fang is not only invested by wild foxes. Behind him is the Shanghai Shen family's Hon Hai department, and Minsheng Bank, which the Hon Hai department has invested in. We can jump out of Zhejiang Province. Seeking investment in Shanghai."

In 2014, although Internet companies had flourished, the traditional real estate industry, department store retail industry, and manufacturing industry still believed that the Internet was too empty and there were too many bubbles in it.The most famous one is that Teacher Ma and Wang Jianlin of Wanda once had a debate about new retail in the department store industry, and no one could convince the other.Therefore, the financing channels that Ant Financial has been looking for have always been the financial industry and the Internet industry. There are still very few cooperations in traditional industries. Now with the link of Shen Fang, Mr. Ma hopes to cooperate with the Shen family in Shanghai.

Jack Ma did not let the film company contact Shen Fang directly. The other party is currently the richest Chinese man, and must be respected accordingly.Under the surprised eyes of all his subordinates, Teacher Ma called Shen Fang himself.

"Hi, I'm Ma Yun."

……

Although Shen Fang was a little surprised, he still respected Ma Yun.Don't look at him as a reborn person with past life memories, but if you let him start an Ari company, complete such a complicated corporate structure, and control an Internet company with a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars with less than [-]% of the equity, he thinks he can do it. less than.

Teacher Ma made an appointment at a private restaurant called Jiaoshe upstairs above the Qiaozhi Hairstyle Center on Hangcheng Stadium Road.

When Shen Fang arrived, Ma Yun and Fan Luyuan were already waiting for him on the sofa in front of the hotel bar, Shen Fang directly cupped his hands to express his apology: "Teacher Ma, Mr. Fan, I'm sorry for being late."

"Young Master Shen, please take a seat. We have just arrived, and the two places are so far away, it's hard to find."

Shen Fang had seen Ma Yun's introduction many times before on TV and newspapers, but the first impression he gave Shen Fang was that his appearance was plain and unattractive. Moreover, he was very thin, and his shoulders were thin, which made his head appear bigger. The proportions are somewhat incongruous.But Shen Fang believed that this big head was filled with wisdom.

"Ms. Ma, it's really hard to find here. In the end, I called a local talent in Hangzhou to find a place." Shen Fang was not polite, and directly explained the reason for his late arrival.

"I asked you to come here because it's quiet here, and the owner of the restaurant is good." Ma Yun called the owner standing behind the bar over: "This is the owner and chef, named Han Dabao. The fried hairy crab It can be regarded as a little famous in Hangzhou."

"Boss Han, hello." Shen Fang looked at the woman in front of her. She was young and had exquisite features, but her short flaxen hair, paired with tattoos all over her arms, looked unusually sharp and individual.

"Hello, Young Master Shen." Han Dabao was extremely enthusiastic towards Shen Fang: "I heard that Aunt Qing has a handsome son, but I didn't expect to meet him today."

Shen Fang was a little surprised: "You know my mother?" Teacher Ma, who had investigated Shen Fang, also looked at Han Dabao with surprise.

"I used to be in the beauty and make-up industry, and I'm familiar with Chen Lan, and I learned from Aunt Qing for a while." Han Dabao said: "It's just that I got tired of doing makeup for others, so I ran here and opened a private restaurant. Teacher Ma will help you to recommend it, and you will become famous."

"I wanted to ask Mr. Shen to find a quiet place for a casual meal, but I didn't expect you to have such a relationship." Teacher Ma said lightly, "Boss Han can't hide his clumsiness today. I can't forget your ancient crab last time." ah."

Originally, Ma Yun wanted to find a hidden place to negotiate with Shen Fang. After all, with the announcement of the new issue of the "Forbes China Rich List", these two people are in the top two respectively. Knowing that, it will definitely become the headlines of financial news and cause other unnecessary troubles.

Han Dabao also heard the meaning in Ma Yun's mouth and said directly to Teacher Ma: "Mr. Ma, don't worry, I only entertain a few distinguished guests in this small shop today, and all other appointments have been turned down. I will definitely not disturb the elegant mood of the two of you."

"That's good." Teacher Ma said happily: "Then I can supply all the crabs for today." Then he motioned to Han Dabao to lead the way, and went to the box inside.

After a few people sat down, Shen Fang took out the tea leaves Wu Yufei had given him at noon from Cheng Yue's hands, and asked him to open another table with Teacher Ma's bodyguard in the next box.

Shen Fang said: "Mr. Ma, today I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. I just got a garden tea from a friend in Wujiawu at noon. It is no worse than those Longjing trees in Meijiawu."

"Then you have to taste it. You need to use good water for this tea. Lu Yuan, go ask Han Dabao if he has any water for Hupao." Teacher Ma said happily: "I have also been to the Wujiawu you mentioned, then The old trees on the side are also rare and superb."

Han Dabao, who pays attention to the quality of life, really has a bucket of Hupao spring water, which she queues up every morning to get it.

After all, this is not a tea house, and Teacher Ma did not pay attention to the tea making process. Instead, he asked Han Dabao to take three transparent glasses and use the Hupao Spring, which was boiled and cooled to more than 80 degrees, to brew.

"The fragrance is really strong." Teacher Ma looked at the green tea in the glass. The tea leaves were all young shoots, and the roots stood upright. Young Master Shen is all covered."

"It's good to be in the eyes of Mr. Ma. My friend will only give me two taels, otherwise I will give some to Mr. Ma." Shen Fang changed Mr. Ma to Mr. Ma, and said to him with a smile.

Teacher Ma thought that Shen Fang was laying the groundwork in front of him and wanted to give him tea, but he was a little surprised by the other party's turn, and shook his head and smiled again for a while.

I have developed too fast in the past two years, many people are respectful to me, and I have forgotten what it feels like to be equal to each other. The other party has already created such a net worth before the age of [-], so what is there for me to support.

"It's a good thing I didn't reach out, otherwise Mr. Shen would be making fun of me." Teacher Ma made a self-deprecating smile and adjusted Shen Fang's address: "Mr. Straightforward people."

Shen Fang cupped his hands at Teacher Ma and said: "My ancestors once taught: tolerance is great if the sea is open to all rivers. If you stand on a wall, you can be strong without desires. I ask myself that I can't be inclusive of all rivers like Teacher Ma. I can only persuade myself to be strong without desires."

"Old man Jin is wise." Teacher Ma also bowed his hands and bowed back, and the two parties really sat down to drink tea and talk about things.

"Mr. Shen, Lu Yuan is going to ask me to talk to you about the Horgos film and television city." Fan Luyuan, who had been following Ma Yun without speaking, stood up and nodded to Shen Fang, and Ma Yun stretched out his hand to let him sit down. , and then continued: "I know that although Mr. Shen is relatively close to the goose factory, he can still achieve a level balance in some matters that need to balance the relationship between the various companies."

Shen Fang picked up the teacup and made a toast to the two of them with tea instead of wine: "Mr. Fan can rest assured. Although our Wild Fox Film and Television is a late star, when we are looking for a partner, we still show great sincerity." Yes, no matter Goose Factory, Wanda or Ari, they are not the object of hostility of our wild fox company. Our original intention has not changed until now, it is to develop China Film and Television, so that our China market will not be reduced to Hollywood film and television companies. Harvested ticket warehouse."

"Boss Shen is generous, I respect you!" Regardless of whether what Shen Fang said was true or false, or how much water was in it, the statement made to Shen Fang has already made Teacher Ma admire.

Teacher Ma then signaled Fan Luyuan to go to the kitchen to see if the food was ready. Fan Luyuan understood and knew that Teacher Ma wanted to have a private chat with Shen Fang, and then got up and left.

"I don't know what Mr. Shen thinks about mobile payment." Ma Yun looked at Shen Fang and asked a question that surprised him.

Shen Fang never thought that he would have such an opportunity to cooperate with Teacher Ma. Even if he returned to China with a huge amount of money, he would avoid cooperating with the Ari Department.He thought he couldn't play against these Ari people in the financial field.Ahri’s partnership system has made their business model a classic case of major business schools, not to mention the GP and LP partnership system that Mr. Ma plans to use in Ant Financial.

The GP and LP partner system originated from the West. GP partners are general partners. Generally, these people will seek the company's corresponding investment decision-making power and discourse power after making capital contributions, or require certain managers to be placed in the company to act on their own behalf as shareholders. right.LP partners refer to limited partners, basically investors who only invest in shares to enjoy equity value and dividends, and do not participate in company management. Shen Fang's investments in Google, Apple, and Facebook can be attributed to this type of partners.

Of course, the LP partners only temporarily waive the exercise of their shareholder rights. If the decision of the board of directors or the company’s management harms the interests of shareholders, then the LP partners have the right to ask a third party to review the company’s operating conditions. Convene a board of directors and get back your rights.

Teacher Ma also took a fancy to Shen Fang's personality, so he was going to invite him to participate in Ant Financial, which he planned to take the opportunity to become independent from Ari Company: "Softbank and Yahoo have already transferred Alipay's The buyout price is set at 37.5% of the IPO’s market capitalization or 20 billion to 30 billion U.S. dollars. He thought it would be hard for me. Let alone 30 billion, even if he asks for 50 billion U.S. dollars, I will find an opportunity to buy it out and ant gold I can only say that he underestimated our Chinese market. I believe that when Ant Financial goes public, the market value will definitely exceed 5 billion US dollars. This price will not even exceed [-]%. arrive."

Mr. Ma's speech is not fast, but it is very contagious. Listening to his speech will make you follow his train of thought unconsciously, and you will have an inexplicable trust in him. Perhaps this is one of the secrets of his success.But Shen Fang is not an ordinary member. He already has his own set of rules of conduct after being in contact with world-class bigwigs like Bill Gates and Buffett.

After Mr. Ma's speech, Shen Fang first paid tribute to him: "Mr. Ma, Shen Fang admires your mind. I am very interested in the investment of Ant Financial, and I am willing to participate in the financial investment that you have built, Mr. Ma." In the territory. We can reach a framework agreement first. I can invest, and you don’t have to worry about foreign capital. My funds have been transferred to China through legal channels and can be in place at any time. But I still have to follow up on how to participate. Discuss with several other shareholders of the company."

"Okay, then it's a deal." Teacher Ma toasted Shen Fang excitedly.Then he greeted Fan Luyuan to arrange for the dishes to be served.

Han Dabao's ancient hairy crabs are really good. In addition to the umami taste of traditional hairy crabs, they also add peppery and spicy aromas.As a regular customer, Mr. Ma explained to Shen Fang the origin of the taste and production techniques of the hairy crabs while eating.

When Shen Fang got excited about eating, he asked Han Dabao to greet him, packed up the remaining hairy crabs on the table, and said in Teacher Ma's astonished eyes: "Take it back and give Mo Han a taste."

Teacher Ma, who ate the dog food, couldn't help pointing at Shen Fang and complaining: "The team of the Huaxia wife-ruling clan continues to expand."

　The matter between Alipay and Alibaba is very complicated. With the help of the National Banking Regulatory Commission's license, Jack Ma has separated Alipay step by step from Alibaba. The communication and exchange and the dark battle with Softbank and Yahoo are far from being clearly described in the novel. .So all the judges just watch the excitement.
