Chapter 1678 (1/2)
There was no tug of war with Ali in the distance.
Ali offers 10 billion US dollars, of course, is bluffing, whether Ma Yun or a few Yahoo, all understand that this is impossible.
Before the double 11, it is possible.
After the double 11, 10 billion dollars will not work.
At this time in the distance, the desire for treasure, not so big.
According to tan Haiying, in fact, there is no need to buy out treasure. If the distant mall develops for another half a year or a year, it will have no value for existence.
Is it necessary to use billions of dollars to shorten the development time of the distant shopping mall in less than a year?
Yes!
At least in Li Dong's opinion, it is necessary.
Different from traditional industries, e-commerce is developing very fast. In a year's time, even Li Dong doesn't know what kind of situation will be in a year.
It's worth spending so much time in Li Dong's opinion.
……
So, when both sides have this need.
Some things are easy to talk about.
Six days later, only six days later, from Ali on the 19th to the 25th, the two sides reached a general agreement.
Ali wants to sell, that's for sure.
To buy from afar is also an established goal.
Ma Yun hopes to sell 8 billion US dollars, which is of course useless.
In the absence of competitors, as soon as Jingdong jumped out, it was cut off by several major home appliance manufacturers, and no one was willing to compete with distant places.
As a result, the two sides ended up trading for $4.5 billion.
This is also the largest e-commerce platform M & A in the world!
The price of $4.5 billion is definitely not low, but it is not obvious how high it is.
Online shopping, now in the global development is very fast, the market prospect is not small.
Since 2009, Amazon's market value has been growing. Even if it loses the title of the world's first online shopping platform, Amazon's market value is still growing.
From US $20 billion at the beginning of the year to US $30 billion in the middle of the year, we are approaching the $40 billion mark.
Even if not as good as Amazon, and the main business direction is different, a C2C based, a B2C based.
However, whether it is C2C or B2C, it is not a simple thing to do this scale.
It may not be as many as Amazon, but it is worth billions of dollars, as everyone knows.
Nowadays, only Dangdang is the only e-commerce platform seeking listing in China.
And the outside estimates, Dangdang listing, the market value should not be too low, more than $1 billion that is certain.
Even if the treasure has been squeezed by the distance, it is not comparable.
In addition, there are other businesses sold by Ali this time. The transaction price of US $4.5 billion is very high, but it is not too high compared with the $10 billion bid made by Li Dong in April.
In seven months, Ali lost more than $5 billion on the treasure!
Not the actual loss, the key is to lose the position of the first C2C platform in Asia and the first in China.
What the outsider sees is the price, is the distant purchase takes out the treasure.
But for the insiders, especially the big enterprises in IT industry, what we see is cruelty!
Compared with the traditional field, it industry, the competition is more cruel.
Traditional industries, you fall from the first to the second, the value is there, almost fixed, the difference will not be too big.
For example, Guomei fell from the first to the second. If it wasn't for Lao Huang, the value would not have changed much.
But for IT enterprises, it is quite different.
Teng Xun fell to the throne in the strongest instant messaging field. With instant effort, Teng Xun lost more than half of its value.
It's the same with digging treasure.
Looking back at other IT enterprises, they are almost the same. At the beginning of its heyday, Shanda fell from the throne, and its value was not comparable.
Sina's share price has fallen again and again, even if its performance has not declined.
In the IT industry, or new fields, the first is of great value, and the second is completely different.
In fact, Taobao's performance did not decline, and there was a significant increase compared with 2008.
But Wanjia net can catch up with it. In the field of C2C, it surpasses the most powerful field of taking out treasure, and the value of digging treasure is lost.
The loss of more than half of the value in seven months, in the case of rising performance, hardly happens in the traditional field, but it is common in the IT industry.
No one will complain about this.
There are gains and losses, losses and gains.
The reason why it is valued by the outside world this time makes people feel cruel, mainly lies in the fact that digging out treasure is to perish in prosperity.
The performance of dig treasure has been growing, which is still some difference with Teng Xun before.Teng Xun and the distance when the base, users continue to drain, is by the rise and fall.
But even now, the performance is still growing.
But even so, the value is still less than that of the first half a year ago, which makes many people feel cruel and feel impacted.
It turns out that you can not be strong, you are strong at the same time, the opponent is also strong.
You need to be stronger than your opponent, far away from your opponent, to keep you strong all the time.
Otherwise, even if you keep strong all the time, you will die in the strong.
The sale of treasure has created a sense of crisis in many enterprises.
For a time, leading enterprises in various fields are seeking new breakthroughs, and various new technologies and new applications are constantly on-line.
Li Dong didn't expect this before.
Many years later, products and technologies have emerged one after another, and various difficulties have been broken through. For a time, the whole IT field has taken a step forward.
The butterfly effect, this moment has played a full role.
In 2009, it is quite different from that in Li Dong's memory.
The existence in the distance is like a spark that ignites the whole grassland.
……
Lin'an.
West Lake.
On the cruise ship.
Both Li Dong and Ma Yun leaned lazily on their chairs, drinking tea and enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the boat.
They have no image to speak of, and they are not as at daggers drawn as rumors have it.
Even if Li Dong is the richest man in the world, it is impossible to ignore a purchase of several billion US dollars and tens of billions of RMB.
Lin'an is not too far away from Pingchuan. When both sides reached an agreement, Li Dong came by himself.
However, he and Ma Yun did not choose to meet in the conference room, in Ali, but set the location in the West Lake.
On both sides of the cruise ship, there are other cruise ships, on which are Li Dong's security personnel.
Ma Yun while drinking tea, while contemptuous way: ”afraid of death to your point, live have taste?”
Usually on the land, Li Dong's bodyguards are mostly hidden behind the scenes, not many on the surface.
This time on the water, the security guard didn't dare to be careless. Li Dong's security personnel were all around. Ma Yun swept around casually. He could see that at least 30 people were there!
In Ma Yun's opinion, there must be something hidden on the land.
In other words, Li Dong's security team, I'm afraid, is close to 50 people!
Li Dong is the only one who has made such a big battle in China.
Li Dong didn't care about Ma Yun's disdain. He said with a smile: ”if you have money and willful will, how many people do you want me to recruit? I can afford to pay, but it's you. Can you afford it?”
