my gilded age

Chapter 607: A dirty trick in the shopping mall and a successful acquisition!
"Brother Bai, how do you know it's me who is singing against you?"

"Mr. Ma, we are all the same kind of people, so don't go around the bush when it comes to many things."

"Haha... Brother Bai is really awesome."

"I am over-flattered."

Bai Shiqiu was facing Mr. Ma at this time. The two of them seemed like old friends for many years, and their conversation was quite interesting.

A treat, of course, is a treat, but since both of them are very busy, it becomes very difficult to treat them.

That's what happened on the phone.

I don't have time.

I don't have time either.

then what should we do?

How do I know?
Both of them...are so damn arrogant that they don't take the initiative to make any concessions anyway.

But fortunately, fortunately, this meal is still eaten, so the place to eat is quite special.

Thailand, Bangkok.

Why did you come to Thailand?
Bai Shiqiu has a movie to film here, and Mr. Ma also said that he happened to be going abroad to discuss business.

Two guys. . .

This is an momentum, you can't retreat first, absolutely not.

However, the fact is that Dangdang.com’s stock on Nasdaq in the United States is very strange. Originally, this company was deeply involved in a scandal, and there was a high possibility that it might even be held legally responsible. This is a very abominable deception of investors, although , everyone on Wall Street understands that it is used to deceive investors, but if such a scam is exposed, then such stocks should plummet all the way.

But now, it's fucking back up again.

Obviously, someone is taking advantage of the panic in the news to buy chips at a low price, but the current stock price has returned, so this... Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is probably someone fighting each other behind their backs.

As for the people who are competing, at least the two main characters are eating now.

Well, eating is obviously secondary, but there has to be something.

Thailand is more famous, so of course it is Tom Yum Kung Soup. Generally speaking, this soup, as far as Bai Shiqiu is concerned, might as well be called Seafood Hu Spicy Soup, which is easy to understand and grounded.

No idea, Tom Yum means hot and sour in Thai, and Kung means shrimp.

In fact, some things are not that high-end, but sometimes we Chinese people make them more high-end. This also includes the Japanese "Ebi". Ebi actually means shrimp, and it is also a pictograph, because The shrimps are lumpy when they are whole, like an old man in the sea, that's all.

Then this soup. . .

"..." Both of them were trying to put on airs, but after taking a sip, they realized that they should say something.

Therefore, Bai Shiqiu was very direct and pointed out that the person he was fighting with was the alien-looking Mr. Ma across from him.

"Brother Bai, since you already know that I am fighting you in the ring, what else do you need to say? Just let it go, I am determined to win this time."

Mr. Ma said this in a very calm tone, but his meaning was aggressive.

"Haha..." Bai Shiqiu smiled. He knew that the real negotiations had begun. "I know your strength, Mr. Ma. SoftBank can be said to be in the spotlight now."

This word. . .

"Brother Bai, it's meaningless to say this. I'm not relying on SoftBank this time..." Mr. Ma was a little unhappy, but after saying this, he saw Bai Shiqiu's slightly teasing expression, so he changed his words. , "I can't control how Mr. Sun uses his own money, right? Do I still need to talk about this matter?"

It's a bit of clarification.

Bai Shiqiu was very embarrassed. He made a little sarcasm at Cloud Horse and pointed out the boss behind him, SoftBank.

Of course, this is a small trick, but the current Mr. Ma is not the Mr. Ma who later regretted his creation of Alibaba. Although he is powerful, if he really wants to pick up the financial stick, it depends on the boss behind him.

However, there is a saying that Bai Shiqiu also admires Mr. Ma. After all, Mr. Ma is very powerful for being able to maintain Taobao's independence under such strong pressure from SoftBank. Otherwise, he might be Kicked out, Taobao will become a foreigner's Taobao.

Bai Shiqiu stopped writing, "Mr. Ma, I am also determined to win, and I am responsible for this matter. Dangdang.com made a bet with me at the beginning, and it was agreed that whoever wins will acquire the other company for one yuan. Now, it is obvious that I have won... …”

Before Bai Shiqiu finished speaking, Mr. Ma laughed loudly, "Brother Bai, you are joking, we all know in our hearts, how can this kind of bet count? If you say that you are right, okay, you are right, count you Yes. Then you go to Li Guoqing and his wife, you tell me, buy it for one dollar, and see if they agree to it."

The words are crude but not crude, and it is pointed out that Bai Shiqiu's statement is too naive.

After hearing this, Bai Shiqiu couldn't help but said helplessly: "These days, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not the same."

"Haha..." Mr. Ma smiled, "Why are people's hearts not ancient? There is never any question of ancient or ancient times. What matters in shopping malls is strength. Brother Bai, you are very powerful. In fact, that bet was not in vain, because this bet was made Things just came up with such a program. Dangdang.com was originally a good listed company. It was like what was said in a movie. They were going to be the county magistrate, eating hot pot and singing songs, but they met you Bai Shiqiu on the way. ……Ha ha……"

At the end of the sentence, Mr. Ma couldn't help but laugh.

Bai Shiqiu was silent, feeling that this guy was also his fan.

But things have to go on.

"Mr. Ma, tell the truth."

"What truth? Does Brother Bai have any high opinions?"

"Nothing to say, I just want to remind you that Taobao's plate is not small anymore, and this platform is very powerful, but can you really do logistics and warehousing?"

"This……"

Mr. Ma's expression changed several times at Bai Shiqiu's words.

Can you do logistics?
This may sound a bit boring.

Isn't it just logistics? What's so great about that stuff? It's nothing. If you have money, just do it.

But, it’s different, it’s really different.

Taobao is indeed doing very well and is very strong, but Taobao has never been able to really get involved in the logistics field.

That's right, basically most of the express delivery orders for online shopping come from Taobao, but they don't have their own logistics.

Is there no money?

Obviously not. Mr. Ma has passed the period of needing money. If he wants money, he can go to the financial market to raise funds. It is easy and countless people will give him money.

Therefore, there is only one issue involved here, that is, whether the higher-ups will allow Taobao to handle logistics.

In principle, there is only one point, that is two words, monopoly.

Your Taobao is so strong, very powerful, and there is another special strength, that is, Internet finance, that is, payment protection.

Others cannot provide payment insurance, not even UnionPay.

Could it be that the people at UnionPay are all idiots and can't see the huge piece of the pie that is online financial payment?
Of course, there are rules and regulations, some can be done and some cannot be done.

Taobao already occupies a large position in Internet finance, and it also wants to take over logistics. So, is this too strong?
So strong, what if he loses control?
How could the boss above let this happen?

Of course Bai Shiqiu knew about the subsequent cooperation between Mr. Ma and Su Ning, but you must know that there must be countless stories, and it was just a cooperation. At least on the surface, Taobao still did not have its own logistics system.

Bai Shiqiu's words were very simple, but they really hit Ken Qishang, making Mr. Ma very uncomfortable. "This isn't something you're worried about, is it?" Mr. Ma smiled.

Bai Shiqiu said again, "Or, the acquisition of Dangdang, but where is SoftBank actually involved?"

This method... is good, it can really achieve perfect avoidance. At least the relevant departments will not come to trouble Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma's face turned ugly again, but he still said: "Brother Bai, we are in business. If we have interests and benefits, just do it. Why do we always have to do something, be anti-Japanese or anti-American?" , it’s not interesting, you know, it’s globalized, you know? With globalization, interests are the key, so let’s put those things about individual countries aside for now.”

That's what I said. . .

Bai Shiqiu smiled slightly, "That makes sense, but Mr. Ma, I am somewhat of an angry youth."

Is this self-deprecating?

Mr. Ma looked a little better and said with a smile, "It's okay, you're just a passionate young man."

Bai Shiqiu suddenly changed the topic, "Mr. Ma, what you said about this incident is that the current situation was caused by the bet, and the bet made Li Guoqing and his wife so miserable, but I always feel that this is wrong, right? "

"What's wrong?" Mr. Ma smiled.

"Can't I bear the blame alone?" Bai Shiqiu said with an innocent expression on his face, "Whose idea was it about the counterfeit factory? It's definitely not me, right?"

When Mr. Ma heard this, he laughed loudly, "Brother Bai, what you said is wrong. If you hadn't forced Li Guoqing and his wife to be anxious, how could they have thought of such a method? How could they have been so sick and rushed to seek medical treatment. "

"Then make fake things to deceive others?"

"I was forced to do so by you."

"Huh? Wait a minute, could it be that you, Mr. Ma, came up with this idea of ​​such losses?"

"Brother Bai, you have wronged me. How is this possible? Am I that kind of person?"

"It's not like it's not like it."

"Look, right?"

"But I still feel that Mr. Ma has probably wanted to get some of Dangdang's things for a long time, right?"

"After all, they have built a lot of warehouses, which is pretty good."

What these two were saying was so fucking weird, it seemed like they were blaming each other, but they didn't seem to be.

But what exactly is the fight on the Nasdaq stock market?
Anyway, there was no result in the end. You, Bai Shiqiu, had a reason, and I, Cloud Ma, had a reason. They refused to give in to each other.

It's just that bowl of tom yum soup... If you can't stand the taste, you should stay away from it.

……

Li Guoqing and Yu Yu heard Mr. Ma's words when they were at the Orland Club, and they were somewhat angry.

Mr. Ma actually wanted to buy their company. Did he have evil intentions when he came up with the idea?
Yu Yu was so fierce that he almost started to have sex with Mr. Ma.

Fortunately, there were a lot of people at that time, and everyone was the boss, and they were all people in the scene. Depending on the situation, Mr. Ma was so thin and Yu Yu was so big. If the two of them really fought, the outcome would definitely not be difficult to determine. of.

However, Mr. Ma still said it well.

"It's better than Bai Shiqiu buying you for one dollar, right? I'll sell your stocks according to the amount of financing you raised, so that you won't suffer losses. Isn't that good? Besides, you sold it to me, which is normal. How can Bai Shiqiu behave in business? Your company has been sold for a long time, and it is not embarrassing, and it is not cheap to that guy Bai Shiqiu. Isn't this good? "

It must be said that the conditions offered by Mr. Ma are quite good, and no matter how you look at it, it is the best choice at present.

The best choice for Li Guoqing and Yu Yu is that they may be eliminated, but they will not suffer much loss.

The people around you can see clearly that in the shopping mall, sometimes you can't let go of your anger, you have to make money.

Many people are still urging you to just listen to Mr. Ma.

Just sell the shares.

This is actually a good thing.

Li Guoqing was very shaken at the time, but he had a wife who was even more powerful than him.

Yu Yu has always had a lot of drive. She is a leader among strong women. She wants to make waves on the wolf's head, but she doesn't want to just hand out money.

In her words: I don’t know what to do.

So, in the Orland Club, the two people did not agree to Mr. Ma, and they had to think about it.

But, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter.

Because the situation at this time is that whether the two of you agree or not is actually irrelevant.

Dangdang.com's stock will definitely plummet. At this time, just enter the market and collect chips.

Mr. Ma's funds are sufficient, and his purpose this time is also very clear, to supplement Taobao's shortcomings.

Taobao has no logistics. This is originally a very enviable thing, and even something that Mr. Ma is proud of in public.

However, he knows better than anyone that the lack of logistics is a huge flaw.

Let's talk about Dongxinggou. There is still a big gap between this company and Taobao. However, Taobao wants to kill Dongxinggou but can't.

Because he has his own specialty, logistics.

And, what about the other way around?
If Dongxinggou becomes bigger, it will not only sell electrical appliances, but also all kinds of goods, as well as group purchases of food, drink and entertainment, these things...

Once Dongxingou becomes big, it will be an enhanced version of Taobao.

They have logistics, and the goods are similar to those of Taobao. Doesn’t Taobao have a disadvantage?

Mr. Ma dreams of making up for this shortcoming.

Li Guoqing and Yu Yu understood it, but now, they understand it even more.

After Mr. Ma left, Bai Shiqiu met the couple.

"You two, make your decision."

That's right, Li Guoqing and Yu Yu heard what they just said when they had dinner with Mr. Ma.

So. . .

Not long after, a blockbuster news appeared on the Nasdaq market.

Li Guoqing and his wife were willing to admit defeat, but instead of selling their shares for one dollar, they sold their shares to Bai Shiqiu at the market price.

In this way, the winner of this stock market sniper war has been decided!

　thanks for your support!Thank you!
