"Cai, what do you think of this Ye Group's 500 million USD in exchange for 20% of our shares?”
When Jack Ma started his business, there were 18 Arhats, so he gathered the 18 Arhats here today to discuss the 500 million investment.
"President Ma, Ali has less than 30 million US dollars of disposable funds. If Taobao continues to be launched, our gap will reach 500 million US dollars!”
Cai replied to Jack Ma that as the company's chief financial officer, he was very clear about the company's various capital operations.
"Boss Ma, we don't have enough employees on Taobao yet. Now that the company's business is developing rapidly, we need manpower!”
Old Sun had reported to Jack Ma more than once. However, the company was short of manpower now, and the people transferred from Ali were still not enough.
Ali's goal this year was to surpass any other platform and become the largest online shopping website.
Their competitor in China was EBay, but they had already surpassed it. They had also surpassed Japan's Yahoos. Now, they were just short of surpassing Walmart!
"CEO Ma, let's meet him in the afternoon to talk. Currently, this Ye Group is very familiar with our company's business. If he transfers to another company, it will cause a lot of pressure on our Ali Group!”
Cai had been observing Ye Fan's words and actions. From his conversation, it could be seen that Ye Fan was definitely well versed in it.
In their industry, he could see through the clouds and see through the fog. This was something that he had only seen from Boss Ma.
"CEO Ma, this is the information we recently collected. This Ye Group has just been established not long ago, and its registered place is in Shanghai's financial building!
According to the announcement of Penguin Holdings this month, they found out that they held a 5% stake in Tengxun Holdings!”
At present, after receiving this news, Penguin Holdings made another announcement. Ye's Investment Group would continue to increase its shares in Penguin Holdings in Hong Kong stocks, and the proportion would reach 10%!”
After Jack Ma's secretary finished speaking, Jack Ma's expression changed and became very serious.
Penguin was focused on the gaming industry, so they didn't have much interaction with them in the e-commerce industry.
Recently, Penguin had also set up something called Paipai.com, wanting to imitate Taobao.
Penguin's main business was obviously based on this game, so it was very rare for them to have the purchasing power. However, if they invested money, it would also be a big threat.
"Give this CEO Ye a call and ask him to come over in the afternoon to continue discussing this share agreement. At present, our group needs at least 600 million USD and give him 25% of the shares!”
500 million USD could temporarily solve the urgent problem. Jack Ma thought about it carefully, but he couldn't let Ye Fan hold too much.
Moreover, there was a condition that Jack Ma was not allowed to accept. Ye Fan could invest in their company's shares, but he could not obtain this control.
In the hotel, Wang Yalun had been rubbing his hands, and he looked very conflicted.
He didn't know that so much time had passed. Could it be that Ali's executives and these shareholders hadn't reached an agreement yet?
toot, her phone rang. She saw that it was Secretary Ma Yun.
The worry on Wang Yalun's face finally eased up and he calmed down.
"Hello, CEO Wang. CEO Ma has invited CEO Ye over. We'll discuss the details in detail!”
"Alright, I'll go and inform Mr. Steele!”
There was a turning point in this matter. Wang Yalun thought that Ali would not accept their investment!
Ye Fan was in the middle of his afternoon nap when he was woken up by a call from Wang Yalun. After he left the group, he would head straight to Ali's headquarters!
"I told you not to worry. Ali will definitely accept us. Jack Ma is not that stupid.
If he gives up on our investment and finds someone else to invest in, no one knows e-commerce better than me!”
Ye Fan revealed a confident smile. To him, Ali was just a chess game he played.
Ye Fan wanted to invest in all the internet companies that were valuable in the future and firmly hold all the shares in his hands.
With such a large population in the country, the number of netizens would continue to increase in the future. When the mobile internet arrived, everyone would have a mobile phone.
That would be a population of nearly 1.3 billion to 1.4 billion. This was a huge piece of meat in terms of the population bonus alone.
Wang Yalun definitely couldn't understand it now. If he could see through it, Ye Fan wouldn't have to carry 13 years of memories.
In a conference room in Ali's headquarters, Ye Fan met Ma Yun again.
"CEO Ye, I'm sorry to disturb you again. This time, I want to ask a question. Why is CEO Ye so optimistic about the future of the Internet?”
Jack Ma stared at Ye Fan. He had been in the business world for seven to eight years, but he still could not fully understand the Internet.
"Boss Ma, with the rapid development of the domestic economy, it's very easy for everyone to shop online!
Secondly, 3G mobile phones have already come out. Once we can promote it to our country's population of more than a billion, this will be a population bonus!”
That's why I like Ali's model and know Ali's mission. That's why I'm willing to invest in Ali Group!“
The term " population bonus " would also be mentioned later. However, Ye Fan had mentioned this concept earlier. Moreover, he had helped with the mobile internet. In the future, it would definitely be transferred from the PC to the mobile.
It was relatively cheap to get traffic now, but the further one went, the more difficult it would be to get traffic.
