Chapter 1709 (1/2)

Li Dong leisurely paves the way for his feelings, but his steps in the distance never stop.

After the completion of the internal subscription, there was an additional cash flow of 28 billion yuan in remote retail.

After excluding the purchase amount of self owned property and the amount of money paid for the purchase, including the investment in the existing remote city, there is still a lot of cash flow left in the remote retail.

Maybe it's to be more plump when it comes to the market, or maybe it's to complete what Li Dong said to surpass Wal Mart.

On the eve of the listing, distant retail announced the next strategic plan of distant retail.

As a matter of fact, at this moment, we do not need to announce it from afar. Everyone knows that we will step into the international market from afar.

At present, China has reached the limit of the distance.

In retail, including e-commerce, a monopoly situation has been formed in the distance. At this time, even if it is expanded again, the effect will be limited.

Therefore, international expansion must be the next goal in the distance.

What people care about is just where the distance will start?

European market?

North American market?

Or as qiyunna said before, from land to Russia.

Expansion is inevitable. The key is where to start expansion, which is the information that some enterprises want to know.

What business is the first step in the long-distance expansion?

Online e-commerce? Offline retail? Or through Teng Xun business expansion?

Soon, the outside world got the exact news.

In the middle of March, the news was released almost at the same time as Ali.

Alibaba's announcement is that the Alibaba management team has bought back Alibaba shares held by Yahoo.

The buyback, Ali spent nearly $8 billion, took the 39% Alibaba shares held by Yahoo.

Compared with 2007, the price is not high. 39% of the shares cost less than 8 billion US dollars, and the whole Ali value is less than 200 US dollars.

However, Ali suffered from the global financial crisis in 2008, and was already weak. In 2009, Ali was dazed and lost the fastest-growing online shopping business in these two years.

At this time, the buyback amount close to $8 billion is not low.

After taking the 39% stake of Yahoo, Alibaba management team, the proportion of shares held reached a peak, as high as 73%.

At the moment, the only remaining shareholder is Softbank.

Softbank has reached an agreement with Alibaba in this Alibaba buyback. Instead of increasing its shareholding, Softbank will continue to hold 27% of its shares. This time, Alibaba repurchases Yahoo shares in the name of the group.

According to the agreement between the two sides, Ali will make the same compensation plan to Softbank. After all, Softbank also has a share of the group's money without withdrawing.

As for the specific agreement between the two sides, no one has disclosed that after Ali's listing, the other side has a series of purchase agreements.

Ma finally did not kick Softbank out, after all, Softbank did not add much trouble to him these years, and the only thing old ma can't tolerate is Yahoo.

Yahoo quit, Ali's management team also got the ownership of the whole group. At this time, Softbank's exit or not is irrelevant.

And in the outside world attention Ali kicks out of Yahoo, the distance does not know is coincidence or intentional, at this time also announced the news.

Far distance retail cooperates with Teng Xun group, the two sides jointly invested 3.8 billion US dollars and acquired 10% shares of Yahoo Japan.

Yahoo Japan and Yahoo are not the same concept.

Yahoo in the world, including Huaxia, Yahoo is the holding of Yahoo headquarters.

But in Japan, Yahoo is not the headquarters holding, but Softbank holding.

Yahoo Japan has only two major shareholders, the first largest shareholder is Softbank, the second shareholder is Yahoo, the other shares come from the stock market.

And Yahoo Japan, for many years, has been Asia's largest website before acquiring Teng Xun from afar.

Even before Teng Xun, including Ali, the market value is not as good as each other.

In addition to occupying more than half of the local search market, Yahoo Japan is also one of the top three online shopping websites in Japan, and once ranked the first e-commerce website!

And this time, distant and Teng Xun jointly purchase shares of Yahoo Japan, the intention is very obvious.

On the one hand, it is to expand Teng Xun's influence, on the other hand, it is to expand e-commerce business.

In fact, the anti foreign sentiment of island countries is not too serious.

But this is also relatively speaking, for the European and American powers, these local people have a natural obedience and recognize that the other side is a strong one, so there is not much sense of exclusion.

Huaxia, as a neighboring country, is relatively backward in economy, and the acceptance of local people is not too high.

Even if it is far away, it is not well-known in Japan.

At this time, distant acquisition of Yahoo Japan 10% of the shares, discerning people all know the purpose of the distance.

In fact, the proportion of 10% is not high, but it has entered the Japanese market from afar.In Asia, business expansion, many times Huaxia is not the first market to expand, Japan and South Korea are.

However, these countries are relatively difficult to enter.

Many well-known large enterprises have to withdraw in these countries.

Over the years, Yahoo has taken root smoothly, and has become bigger and bigger. The key is that Yahoo is not the controlling party. Softbank has a great influence in the local area.

Taking advantage of the failure of Yahoo and Softbank in Ali this time, we have reached an agreement with both sides. In fact, it is also mutual business filling.

Over the years, Softbank and Yahoo's biggest partner in China are Ali.

But this time Yahoo was kicked out, Softbank was also in danger. At this time, the distant company became a giant enterprise in Huaxia, which was more beneficial to their future than cooperating with ALI and distant cooperation.

As a result, on the same day that Yahoo was kicked out by Ali, the company also reached a formal agreement with the two companies to enter into Yahoo Japan and become the third shareholder.

At the same time, the company has set up branches in Japan.

In addition, the Asian region and other countries are also looking for the best partners from afar, officially opening the Asian layout.

Not the first to enter Europe and the United States, far away chose to manage Asia first.

Compared with the serious acclimatization of the European and American markets, Asia is relatively more relaxed.

……

In fact, the two sides announced the cooperation of Yahoo, only public news.

There are still some unpublished information.

For example, wancartoon has officially entered the Japanese market.

If a cross-border e-commerce wants to develop, the payment system is still extremely important.

Having your own payment system means you don't have to pass on your core business data to a third party.

If the distant mall wants to expand, it is necessary for the cartoon to enter at the same time.

Internet payment is related to finance. Generally speaking, if the local policy is not open enough, it is difficult to get access to it because of policy restrictions.

This time, the reason why we can enter from afar lies in the cooperation between the two sides.

Distant finance has also set up branches in Japan.

Today's payment companies have only two options to stay on the ground.

First, the acquisition of local financial payment institutions.

This does not work in Japan, where cash and credit cards are more often used. In fact, the other party also has a third-party payment, but it is not the domestic bus card, which is more similar to the one card form.

It mainly uses Sony's felica technical support, which is different from the domestic third-party payment.

Therefore, it is impossible to talk about the acquisition.
