Chapter [-]: Grab the shares in the hands of the Japanese

Ma Yun didn't want to hide anything anymore, or, Ma Yun thought, it didn't seem necessary to hide in front of Chen Jiayi. 【

Aishang Reading Network] Chen Jia was able to come to him today, obviously because he found out the details of Alibaba.Otherwise, why would he ask about financing as soon as he came up.

In fact, as early as 2000, Masayoshi Son, the president of Softbank in Japan, met Jack Ma.Moreover, it also invested 2000 million US dollars and got 20 shares of Alibaba.Otherwise, there is no such 2000 million.How could it be possible for Ma Yun to support the sky with only one hand and build Alibaba into the number one e-commerce platform in Asia.

"How much do you need."

Because e-commerce belongs to the Internet, Chen Jiayi was engaged in the Internet industry before.Regarding the development of Ma Yun and Alibaba, it is relatively clear.From the perspective of the company's development, Chen Jiayi has always been handy in the Internet.However, in a place Chen Jiayi is not very familiar with.For example, the Japanese handheld market, but because we don't know much about this market.Even knowing that the handheld market in the future is promising, it is so big that it may surpass game consoles.However, Chen Jiayi's strategy may not be so perfect.

Alibaba’s first financing took place in 2000. Looking at it now, 2000 million US dollars may be almost enough.As for the second financing, if we look at it in the future, it took place in 2003, that is, Alibaba finally unified and still needed a huge sum of money. The partner chosen by Jack Ma was still Softbank of Japan. This time, it raised 8200 million yuan. Dollar.However, even with so much financing, the controlling stake in Alibaba has always been in the hands of Jack Ma.

It can also be seen that Jack Ma's holding interest in the company is still relatively large.Later, after Alibaba acquired China's Yahoo, Ma Yun lost control of Alibaba Group, but he is still the head of Alibaba.

"This, I haven't figured it out yet."

Where does Ma Yun know why Chen Jiayi is looking for him? Although Alibaba needs financing now, Ma Yun has no specific consideration for how much it needs. Done in the restroom.The two were washing their hands in the bathroom at the time, and Ma said to Son Masayoshi, the president of Softbank, "I think $8200 million is a good figure, what do you think?"

As a result, Alibaba's second financing, which is 8200 million US dollars.

"It doesn't matter, as long as Mr. Ma is willing to raise funds, it will be easy."

Chen Jia laughed, now eBay has got the market.It's just that the market didn't make any money and has been falling into losses.However, eby is the world's largest e-commerce group.For a little loss in the early stage, they can still bear it.Compared with the occupied market, what is this loss?

The big investment before was to use money to attract the market.Including the previous Alibaba, it also used money to break out of the market.If you only consider the profits of the past two years, I am afraid that you cannot do the Internet market.Possibly, now for Alibaba.He is also very anxious, on the one hand, he has no money.On the other hand, if he does not enter the 2B market as soon as possible, he may lose his right to speak in this b2b market by then.

Because Jack Ma is the future market leader in business.That is, the person-to-person e-commerce model is the essence of the future Internet.In fact, if the Internet is only business-to-business, how can it compare with thousands of users?And, then again.While serving the enterprise, the enterprise also serves the individual.

For Ma Yun, he can't wait to develop the 2 platform immediately.It's a pity that Alibaba's situation is not stable yet. After all, he only makes hundreds of thousands of dollars now, and he still needs to continue to consolidate his position in the b2b market.Otherwise, if some other e-commerce platforms enter, Ma Yun will not be in a hurry to cry.

Therefore, even if eBay has entered the 2 platform, Jack Ma can only hold on.

"However, I don't want to see Japanese venture capitalists in Alibaba."

Now Alibaba still has 20% of the shares belonging to Softbank of Japan.For Chen Jiayi, he didn't like it very much.

"This, I can't help."

For Ma Yun, when Alibaba was in the most difficult time, it was Japan's Softbank that came in to invest.Then, there is the current situation of Alibaba.If there is no Japanese SoftBank, I am afraid that Alibaba will be over long ago.

"I understand this, I can do it."

Chen Jiayi can catch up with Japan's Softbank, but Jack Ma can't.After all, although Japan's Softbank is known as venture capital, but for Ma Yun, it actually helped him.It is obviously impossible for Ma Yun to kick Softbank away.However, Tang Dynasty Ventures under Chen Jiayi can do things like this.

"It's just that I want to enter the 2 market as soon as possible. I don't know if Mr. Ma has any good suggestions."

ebay is getting eb marketplace.For Chen Jiayi, this was a different challenge.

"Haha, judging from the development of Tang Dynasty Company, don't you know?"

At this moment, Ma Yun asked Chen Jiayi back with a smile.

"Tang Dynasty Company has some strategies, but I don't know if Mr. Ma has better ones."

It seems that Jack Ma has long had a strategy to deal with eBay.As soon as Chen Jia asked, he was quite confident.

"The market, but the market has not been fully developed."

If you don't know much about the 2 market, you may not understand the meaning of Jack Ma's words.But for Chen Jiayi, he nodded involuntarily, and said to himself, "No wonder Ma Yun is able to succeed. He is both charming and discerning. Such a character, even in the most difficult environment, he can grow up against the wind." .Even if there is no wind, he can borrow the wind."

"As long as we adopt a free strategy, we will be able to beat eBay."

Today's eBay operating model, somewhat like membership.In other words, anyone who opens a shop there has to pay.For some individual users, they may not enter this market.In other words, the 90% of the 2 market occupied by eBay is not complete yet.There are still a lot of people that he has not developed.

If you use a free strategy, it doesn't matter whether an enterprise user opens a store or an individual user opens a store.All adopt the strategy of opening a store for free, so that the potential e-commerce market can be greatly developed.Anyone who sells anything can open a store.Or whenever he has something to sell.

This is the best strategy for Taobao to defeat eBay in later generations.

If eBay does not adjust its operating model, it will be eliminated by the market.The eBay of later generations was replaced by Taobao precisely because of the fees.Until the end, the market share was not even as good as Paipai.

It seems that the free strategy that Tang Dynasty Company has been using is not unique to Chen Jia.There are still many capable people in the world, just like Jack Ma, he knows the importance of users.As long as thousands of customers are captured, why not free?Even if he lost a little more before, he was able to attract all potential customers.

"Okay, it seems that I didn't make a mistake in looking for Mr. Ma today."

Chen Jiada clapped his hands and agreed with Ma Yun's strategy.

"I think, I will get the shares of SoftBank of Japan first, and then discuss specific financing issues with you."

In order to obtain more shares, first of all, it is necessary to take down 20 shares from the Japanese side.Otherwise, with 80 shares in Ma Yun's hands, how much can he invest in Tang Dynasty Ventures?

Can I give half?

Looking at Ma Yun's appearance, it is obviously difficult.Since half cannot be given, then Softbank's shares become the key.

……

Japan, SoftBank headquarters.

The full name of Softbank is the Software Bank Group. The most classic investment is that it spent 3 million US dollars to invest in Yahoo, which did not earn a penny at the time.Later, Yahoo went public, creating the myth of the Internet, and Yahoo stock doubled more than 200 times.Therefore, for this investment, Japan's Softbank has obtained more than 100 times the profit.

Later, he invested in Microsoft successively.Even in China, such as Sina, Netease, 8848, and later Dangdang, Renren, ppl, etc. It can be said that a large number of well-known Internet companies in China are related to Softbank of Japan.

This time, a Chinese guest came to the Softbank headquarters in Japan.

However, this guest was not looking for investment from SoftBank of Japan. To be precise, he wanted to buy shares in SoftBank.

"Mr. Sun, hello."

This guest is none other than Liu Sichen, EO of Tang Chao Venture Capital.

"Ms. Liu, hello."

The president of Japan's Softbank is Masayoshi Son, a Japanese of Korean descent.Under his leadership, Japan's Softbank has gradually become the world's leading venture capital company from a small company, and his personal wealth almost surpassed Bill.

"I really want to know how Tang Dynasty Venture Capital came to Softbank Japan. You know, we are competitors."

Speaking of which, the projects invested by Japan's Softbank are basically the same as those invested by Tang Chaofeng, both of which are in the electronic information industry.And, it's not limited to geography.When Liu Sichen came this time, Sun Zhengyi was very surprised.

"Competitors also cooperate sometimes, don't they?"

"Well, you are right. I don't know what kind of cooperation Tang Dynasty Ventures has brought to Softbank this time. If possible, I am very willing to cooperate with Tang Dynasty Ventures."

In Sun Zhengyi's eyes, although this Tang Dynasty venture capital did not create too many achievements.Now the performance is better, and only the Pacific Internet.This is just a small website, which is nothing to Sun Zhengyi.However, from the recent investment process of Tang Dynasty Ventures, Sun Zhengyi knows that Tang Dynasty Ventures has a longer-term vision than Japan's Softbank.

"We need 20 shares of Alibaba."

Liu Sichen directly explained the purpose of coming.

"No, it's not possible at all."

Sun Zhengyi flatly refused.

"why."

"The 2000 million I invested in Alibaba is not yet ready for harvest."

"Does Mr. Sun want another Yahoo miracle?"

"I haven't thought about that."

"What we want to say is that not every company can obtain a 100-fold return on investment. Moreover, not every investment can receive benefits. If Mr. Sun does not agree, I am afraid that our Tang Dynasty Company will Go directly to the b2b market. You don't mind our Tang Dynasty company competing with Alibaba..."

When Liu Sichen said this, Sun Zhengyi became serious.

"I think he has a certain price for any investment. Mr. Sun's investment of 2000 million is probably just to make money, and he doesn't want to own Alibaba's shares. If our Tang Dynasty company is willing to give Mr. Sun a satisfactory price, Do you think we can work together?"

Venture capital companies are generally just to make money, so how can they control the shares.Most of the time, first invest in a potential company.Then, after he goes public, throw it away again.Sun Zhengyi's investment in Alibaba is nothing more than that.

"How much are you willing to pay?"

Hearing what Liu Sichen said, Sun Zhengyi spoke.

If Tang Dynasty Company is willing to give a suitable price and sell 20% of Alibaba shares, why not?Anyway, it's the same way to make money, and you can get rewards now.

"4000."

This price is directly doubled on the basis of Japan's Softbank's investment in Alibaba.However, upon hearing this price, Masayoshi Son smiled and shook his head, "If our Softbank is only aiming at this profit, why invest in Alibaba."

"6000."

Liu Sili did not speak, but continued to report the numbers.This number has tripled.However, Sun Zhengyi still shook his head, he will not easily sell Alibaba's stock.

"8000."

When Liu Sichen mentioned 8000 million, Sun Zhengyi had already started to think about it.

"1 billion."

In order to speed up Sun Zhengyi's consideration, Liu Sichen directly raised the price to 1 million US dollars.Moreover, after Liu Sichen reported the price, she said to Sun Zhengyi, "If you are not satisfied with the price, then we have no hope of cooperation."

"make a deal."

Until here, Sun Zhengyi finally nodded.

"Mr. Sun, you made the right choice."

Liu Sichen said.

"Miss Liu, I think you are too."

If Alibaba goes public, the original investment of 2000 million will definitely increase by dozens of times.However, Masayoshi Son did not want to take the risk.If 1 million US dollars is still not agreed, then once Tang Dynasty Company enters the e-commerce platform.Then, Japan's Softbank can only continue to invest in Alibaba, and it will not only invest 2000 million when the time comes.Only in this way can it compete with Tang Dynasty Company.If not, with the current financial strength of Alibaba, I am afraid that it will not be long before being defeated by Tang Dynasty Company.

Subsequently, the equity transfer contract between Tang Dynasty Venture Capital and Japan's Softbank was finalized.
