Chapter 1467 (1/2)
April 8th.
On this day, Ali held a financing reception in Lin'an.
Compared with micro blog financing, dig treasure financing attracts more attention.
It's not that the value of Taobao must be higher than that of Weibo. The key is that this is the first time that Alibaba has taken out the treasure alone for financing.
And it is the first financing of Ali group after delisting.
Before that, in 2005, in order to develop and compete with eBay, Alibaba found Yahoo and raised $1 billion.
However, at that time, the whole Alibaba group was the main body of financing, and that time of financing, Yahoo took 39% of the group's equity. Although
used the money, Ali hatched out treasure and Alipay, but also led to the excessive YAHOO right now, and Ali was not too keen on YAHOO's business in China.
The rights of Ali group are now beyond Ma Yun's control.
The reason why we choose to separate out treasure financing, I'm afraid, is also to prevent the tail end.
In addition to these factors, another point is that toubao is the only C2C platform to choose financing in recent years.
Of course, the actual situation is that after taking out the treasure and making it bigger, the C2C platform of Huaxia has almost no large living space. There was a paipaipai before, but paipaipai is backed by Teng Xun, and there is no need for financing.
With the continuous expansion of the online shopping market, such as Diao Bao, which occupies 80% of the C2C market share, is a well deserved overlord.
Some small and medium-sized C2C platforms, including B2C platforms, are staring at the financing of treasure.
Like Li Dong, they also want to see what kind of e-commerce platform exists in the eyes of investors?
How popular is it?
Are capital institutions optimistic about the prospect of online shopping market?
Compared with vision and experience, it has to be said that there are many talents in capital institutions, and some investment managers have more accurate vision than the managers of some large groups.
It can be recognized by most capital institutions, which shows that the prospect of the project is absolutely there.
Therefore, the 8 th treasure out of treasure financing reception, caused a lot of people's attention.
In addition to digging out treasure, there is also a point for all parties to look at.
Ali's internal strife was known by many people before.
This financing party, Ali is likely to announce some news to the outside world, some small shareholders, even the big shareholder of Yahoo, may be listed in the list of retirement.
In fact, before Ali went to Xiangjiang to be listed in 2007, Ali had already eliminated a large part of small and medium-sized VC.
Today, there are few minority shareholders left. After the privatization, according to the news released by Alibaba, Yahoo is the largest shareholder and currently holds 39% of Ali's total shares.
Ma Yun and his team hold 32% of the shares.
The third largest shareholder is Softbank, which holds 27%.
The three parties hold 98% of the shares in total. In fact, the shares held by other capital institutions are hardly visible, only accounting for 2% of Ali's shares.
It is reasonable to say that Ma Yun, his team and Softbank together hold 59% of the shares. There is no dispute over the control right.
But the capital organization is always the capital organization, the world's Xixi all benefit.
In the past two years, although Ali's performance has been growing, it is not as dominant as before, with a promising prospect. With naked eyes, we can see that the future is promising and has high returns.
Now, some business of Ali, although good, can always make people feel that there is a crisis.
, especially Alipay and Alipay, are facing the impact of Wan cartoon and Wanjia network.
In this case, although Softbank did not directly oppose some of Ma Yun's decisions, it did not make a voice. Instead, it sat and watched Ma Yun's team fight with Yahoo. There was a wait-and-see attitude.
Perhaps, at this time, Softbank did not behave so calm and did not trust Ma Yun as much as before.
This is the reason for Ali's constant internal strife. Ma Yun should have seen all these things. Therefore, he is in great need of help and the opportunity to prove himself.
Yahoo and Softbank two sides, he also obtained at least one side's support, can continue to lead Ali to go on.
In Li Dong's opinion, it is not only to raise money to compete with wanjiawang, but also to attract a group of allies.
……
Lin'an.
West Lake.
A Maybach stopped slowly.
Li Dong opened the window, looked at the West Lake from a distance, and whispered: ”if you want to compare the West Lake with the West Lake, it is always appropriate to wear light and heavy makeup. Compared with Pingchuan, Lin'an has a little more flavor because of the existence of the West Lake. ”
Bai Su, sitting beside him, said with a smile: ”in fact, there are many beautiful sceneries in Pingchuan...”
”Beauty is in the eyes of lovers, but I don't envy Ma Yun. Pingchuan is as good as Pingchuan. What's more, how can we really enjoy the scenery?”
Li Dong laughed at himself. How beautiful the scenery is, do they have a chance to see it?The West Lake is under Ma Yun's nose. How many days can he see it all year round?
Even if you choose to hold a financing reception on the Bank of Xizi lake, you are still hiding in the hotel. Who is really coming for sightseeing?
In this world, the bigger the business is, the busier they are. In the end, maybe they don't know what they are busy for, maybe for their ideal, maybe they are really lost in it and forget their original intention.
More likely, of course, is a habit.
When busyness becomes a habit, it's hard to stop.
Once you stop, you will be at a loss, you will be embarrassed, as if a part of life is missing.
Li Dong is actually developing in this direction.
Although he kept saying, I want to rest, I want to retire early, I want to travel around the world
However, if he really stopped, he would not be able to adapt at first.
Unless after a period of time, accustomed to a leisurely life, at that time, may be able to put down.
With a sigh of emotion, Li Dong asked, ”what time will the financing party be held?”
”It starts at 6 p.m. in the banquet hall of Shangri La Hotel.”
Bai Su replied, looked at the time and said, ”it's only 2 o'clock. Mr. Li, shall we go to the hotel now?”
”If I don't go to the hotel, I'm going now. How can I surprise old ma?
Drive around and find a place to have a cup of coffee. ”
After Li Dong finished, Bai Su and Tan Yong were speechless. Do you really think that others don't know you are here?
If you have the ability, don't drive your own car, and change to a low-key one. That's about the same.
Who doesn't know your Li Dong's car, which has some status?
Now I drive around the West Lake and there are so many people. I'm afraid the news has already been spread.
……
Bai Su and Tan Yong slander at the same time.
Ali headquarters.
Ma Yun appears a little angry, frown a way: ”what does this guy come to do?”
Shortly after Li Dong came to Lin'an, he received the news.
That guy, there are people watching everywhere now. How can he act in secret.
What's more, he seems to have no hidden mind. He is driving his Maybach around the West Lake. I'm afraid it's not only him, but also the city government that has received the news.
Ma Yun was annoyed and didn't complain any more. He just told him, ”it's better if he doesn't come to the party in the evening. If he comes, he won't be allowed to enter the party!
Say hello to the security guard in advance. The possibility that he will not come is almost zero.
I'm sure he's here to raise money for the party! ”
Lu Zhaoxi on one side frowned slightly and said, ”isn't it appropriate?”
Li Dong is not an ordinary person. If he doesn't come, if he doesn't come, if he doesn't have an invitation letter, he won't be admitted. That's a slap in the face.
Ma Yun didn't have a good way: ”when I went to Pingchuan last time, do you know how he entertained me and Ma Huateng?
