Age of Dreams

According to common sense, Xiao Qi is the largest shareholder and the controlling shareholder. If he wants to issue additional diluted shares, he doesn't need to pay attention to Ma Yun.

But only the Ma Yun team at Taobao.com can do well, and Ma Yun is indeed a genius. Xiao Qi wants him to continue working for him, so he can't speak in an orderly manner.

Even if the attitude is kinder, there is no loss, right?

Only the benefits that fall in the pocket are benefits, and those hypocrisy and competitive psychology are really useless.

To say that Ma Yun is really courageous, Xiao Qi could just fire him as chairman of the board of Alibaba, but he is not afraid.

This kind of confidence comes from Ma Yun’s more than ten years of hard work in Alibaba. It comes from the fact that everyone in Alibaba from top to bottom is brought out by Ma Yun. If these people put down their burdens, then Alibaba and Tao Bao The net will definitely be seriously injured, and it will never recover after a year or a half.

Of course, unless it is absolutely necessary, Ma Yun is absolutely unwilling to break out with Xiao Qi, and then leave with the team.

Because online commerce has a natural monopoly in it.

Ma Yun saw it clearly from the very beginning.

For example, once EBAY starts to develop, basically other C2C websites will have no way to survive. If they don’t adjust their countermeasures according to the national conditions, Ma Yun’s Taobao.com will not be able to open.

For example, once Amazon develops, there will be no other B2C websites.

Another most direct example is that after Ma Yun’s Taobao.com was built, no matter what C2C website it was, it couldn’t develop at all. At most, it could only eat a little bit of Taobao.

It can even be said that Xiao Qi's Xiaoyao Mall has developed by taking advantage of Amazon's targeted development of the Huaguo market. From now on, no matter what B2C website it is, it will definitely not be able to shake the position of Xiaoyao Mall.

If Ma Yun and Xiao Qi fall out. Leaving with the management team, he will definitely have to start from scratch.

The data, shopping habits, etc. of tens of millions of users of Taobao.com. He definitely couldn't take it away. He re-opened a C2C website. Under the pressure of Taobao.com, God knows how far it can develop.

What's more, Taobao.com will be controlled by Xiao Qi in the future. According to Xiao Qi's genius level, according to Xiao Qi's scale on Xiaoyao Mall, Ma Yun is sure. Taobao.com will definitely develop smoothly.

Once the behemoth of Taobao.com develops according to inertia, it will be disastrous for any competitor. Even if Ma Yun has great skills, there is no way to defeat the "preconceived" Taobao.com.

Considering that the Alibaba Group was created by myself, no matter whether Alibaba, Taobao.com or Zifubao, they are all my own painstaking efforts. I and the team still occupy 30% of the shares. Why should I have to lose and leave? ah?

He is an extremely stubborn person, otherwise he would not be able to win the future.

And Ma Yun encountered difficulties. He will never shrink back, he will only face up to difficulties, and it is the same when he came to find Xiao Qi this time.

Meet the 70% Big Boss. Not only is it not flattering, but it looks aggressive. I am afraid that except for Ma Yun, no one else can do this.

His reliance is naturally the ability and achievements of him and his team.

Aside from Ma Yun's tough attitude, Xiao Qi was not surprised by his sudden opposition.

If he wants to use Ma Yun, he must use a Ma Yun who is not afraid of anyone and will not obey anyone. If he suppresses it forcefully, then Ma Yun will not be Ma Yun, and Taobao.com will not be that Taobao.com.

"President Ma has any opinions. You can talk about it in detail." Xiao Qi didn't get angry, and said calmly: "It's the first time I have mastered Alibaba. I'm sure I'm not as familiar as you."

"I don't agree with Qi Shao that you issue additional shares. Our management needs a certain number of shares in order to have a positive fighting spirit." Ma Yun said unabashedly, "I think you value the Alibaba Group because of our success .If you want us to be more successful in the future, then you must maintain respect for us. This kind of behavior that reduces our shares at the beginning is absolutely unacceptable.”

Xiao Qi shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Ma, I think you have two things wrong. First, I didn't reduce your shares for no reason. I invested 80 billion in real money, and I gave 10 billion to you for nothing. You. Yu Qing, the 10 billion is to thank you for your hard work over the years; Yu Li, I am using money to dilute your shares, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Second, I am the largest shareholder, and a shareholder with absolute power. I am going to do this, just to inform you, not to ask for your opinion. You just said that I didn't maintain respect for you, but I think I can turn your efforts into wealth, which is already my respect for you. "

Ma Yun's face was ugly: "Isn't 70% enough? Qi Shao, don't you pay attention to sharing with foreigners, can't you share success with us?"

"20% of the shares is very suitable for your management team, not to mention that everyone has already made money, what is this not sharing?" Xiao Qi said, "Mr. Ma, don't always watch what I want to take from you, Ali Alibaba Group is mine now! I never do wasted work, since I have invested so much money in, I must see success! With my strong capital and strength, the success of Alibaba Group can be shortened by a few years. Your success can also come a few years earlier, what are you not satisfied with?"

After a pause, Xiao Qi said: "I'm a man of my word. Mr. Ma, I'll let you control Alibaba for as many years as you want! Wouldn’t it be nice to have control of Alibaba, which has a ten times brighter future than before? Don’t forget, whether you hold 20% or 30% of the shares, you are all minority shareholders. I want to drive you away. It doesn't even take any effort!"

Ma Yun was shaking with anger.

But he couldn't deny what Xiao Qi said.

Xiao Qi is really too ruthless.

The last time he bought 30% of Alibaba’s shares from Softbank, Yang Zhiyuan refused to sell him 40% of Alibaba’s shares in YAHOO. Unexpectedly, this guy actually privatized YAHOO in one go. Baba's shares naturally became his, and it was too late for people to stop it.

When encountering such a decisive person, it is really useless to own 20% or 30% of the shares, and the result is the same.

It's just that Xiao Qi obviously valued him, and Xiao Qi's identity explained that he was allowed to control Alibaba all the time, and he would not break his promise if he thought about it.

This can be regarded as giving Ma Yun a very broad prospect.

"Do you guarantee to keep using me?" Ma Yun looked at Xiao Qi, "Even if I might bring the Alibaba Group to the point where it is worthless?"

Xiao Qi smiled, "Alibaba was originally created by Mr. Ma. If you are willing to do this, it can only prove that I, Xiao Qi, have no eyes. If you have eyes but no eyes, you should pay the price of having eyes but no eyes."

Ma Yun fell silent.

He kept drinking tea, cup after cup.

It wasn't until the pot of tea was finished that Ma Yun raised his head: "You can dilute our management's shareholding to 20%, but I ask that you can't take our shares when it comes time to go public. Go out for an IPO, and you will never be able to think about the remaining 20% ​​of us!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Qi readily agreed.

With 80% of the shares in Alibaba Group, what is he not satisfied with?

According to Wall Street's valuation of Alibaba Group at US$200 billion in 2013, Xiao Qi's shares will skyrocket to US$160 billion in six years.

This is just the case that Ma Yun missed a few years of good development opportunities. If Xiao Qi gives him sufficient funds to allow him to embark on the correct development path, a valuation of 300 billion US dollars is definitely not impossible.

At a price close to 40 billion U.S. dollars, in exchange for a return of 240 billion U.S. dollars, this business is worthwhile.

Therefore, we must not drive Ma Yun and the management team away because of being too greedy. It will be tiring to let Xiao Qi worry about management.

Besides, Ma Yun didn't know that Xiao Qi had no plans to list Alibaba Group at all.

Both Taobao.com and Zifubao are the core assets of the Xiao family. It was Xiao Qi's plan from the beginning to ensure that the core assets would not be listed.

I really don't know what kind of reaction Ma Yun and the others will have when they know Xiao Qi's idea?

After thinking about the past, Xiao Qi continued: "Of course, as the owner of the Alibaba Group, I still have two requirements. First, Alibaba should not be listed in Hong Kong, and it should be privatized and delisted for me directly. A little money, give them back!"

"Okay!" Ma Yun agreed without even thinking about it. He wanted to do this. Now the Hong Kong stock market is half-dead, which is far from meeting Alibaba's current valuation status. Now that Xiao Qi's money is backing him, that's even worse. It can be implemented immediately.

"Secondly, I have a bank called Fairy Bank. From now on, all Alibaba's fund transactions, including Zifubao's third-party payment platform, will be placed in Fairy Bank!"

"this……"

Ma Yun hesitated, "I'm here in Jiangnan, and I've been working with them very happily..."

"If you have already cooperated, continue to cooperate. From now on, you will be in Fairy Bank. I will give you another three years. After three years, the existing cooperation will be terminated. All funds and business will be placed in Fairy Bank." Xiao Qi backed down step by step.

"Ok!"

Ma Yun breathed a sigh of relief, three years was considered a buffer.

He had always wanted to have Alibaba's own bank, because it would be much more convenient, including the financing fund business of Jiangnan merchants that he was good at, which also needed to be handled by the bank.

Now that Xiao Qi is the boss, and he owns a bank, let's try to see if he can get along! (to be continued ~^~)

PS:   Don’t think that Ma Yun is invincible. In fact, he has always wanted Sun Zhenyi to sell back Alibaba’s shares to him, but Sun Zhenyi ignored it. From the beginning to the end, Sun Zhenyi's dealings with Ma Yun were to firmly suppress Ma Yun...
