Metropolis: I’m Really Not A Prodigal Son

Mr. Ma of Taobao.com certainly knows this truth.

Just raising that question just now was a helpless move that had no solution.

Because after everyone talks, the most critical point is express delivery.

If the express delivery problem is solved, any discussion will be of no use.

But it is quite difficult to solve this problem.

Even though the express delivery industry is inconspicuous, it is a big money maker.

Manpower, transportation, and laying sites across the country are all indispensable.

Everyone focused their attention on Mr. Ma.

Wait for him to make the final decision.

Mr. Ma thought for a moment and said, "Please help me make appointments with the bosses of major express delivery companies."

"Let's just say that now it's a life-or-death situation and we have to cooperate.

What he said was not alarmist.

Because of the rapid expansion of Python Express, their living space has been severely squeezed.

The number of express delivery in most express delivery industries has directly decreased by about 20%.

And this number is growing day by day.

So when these express delivery bosses heard that Mr. Ma from Taobao.com wanted to take the lead in uniting them.

One by one, they set off immediately and headed to the headquarters of Taobao.com.

While the express bosses were on their way, Boss Ma took the initiative to get to know Zhu Yiqun of Hard Money Capital.

Boss Ma can cooperate with the bank to obtain quick payment.

As well as the cooperation between Yiqu and Taobao.com, hard gold capital has contributed a lot behind the scenes.

If this crisis cannot survive, then Taobao.com will really be doomed.

Hard money capital has invested so much money in Alibaba, and it certainly does not want to see Alibaba go bankrupt.

Of course Zhu Yiqun knew what Boss Ma was looking for.

It’s just asking for money again.

He once considered not investing money in Taobao.com.

But too much money has been invested.

If you give up now, the sunk cost is too high.

In Zhu Yiqun's eyes, Taobao.com is nothing more than a piece of chicken ribs.

It's a pity to throw away tasteless food.

Boss Ma could see Zhu Yiqun's inner thoughts at a glance.

"Mr. Zhu, Yinzhou has the largest market in the world."

"E-commerce will definitely reach a scale of trillions in the next few years."

"Do you want to miss this good opportunity?"

Zhu Yiqun said: "Of course I know that the future of e-commerce in Jiuzhou will be very promising."

"But how do you know that the winner of that e-commerce platform will be you?"

Boss Ma said: "Whether it will be me, I'm not sure."

"I only know one thing. If you vote for me, if I win, you will get paid."

"If you don't invest in me, if I lose, Dawei Tianlong will not accept your investment.

"Then the trillion-dollar e-commerce market has nothing to do with you."

Zhu Yiqun certainly knows this truth.

He thought for a long time, "How much money do you need this time?"

Boss Ma raised five fingers and said, "At least this number."

Zhu Yiqun knew he wanted $50 million.

This number is not a small number.

"Then how many shares are you prepared to sell?"

Boss Ma is obviously going to burn his boat.

"I will only retain 5% of the shares and control of the company, and the rest will be given to you."

Boss Ma also knows very well that he cannot let go of his children and trap the wolf.

If it doesn't cede a large amount of shares, why should Hard Money Capital make additional investments at this time?

Sure enough, when his conditions came out, Zhu Yiqun's eyes lit up.

This condition is equivalent to hard gold capital directly occupying the absolute shares of Alibaba.

Even Taobao.com did not win the competition with Dawei Tianlong.

It still has some value.

Zhu Yiqun thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll invest the money!"

When Mr. Ma heard this, his anxious heart finally found its solution.

With this investment, the next negotiations with various courier boards will begin.

There is confidence.

Three days later, in addition to Python Express, the five largest express delivery companies in Jiuzhou.

Gathered at Taobao.com headquarters.

Supporting the meeting was Mr. Ma from Taobao.com.

He looked at the crowd and said, "I'm calling everyone here this time because I want everyone to unite."

"Fight against Python Express and Dawei Tianlong together."

00.......

The bosses of five express delivery companies were not polite either.

They all spoke: "Mr. Ma, let's not talk about useless things.

"Just tell us how much subsidy you can give us."

The reason why these express delivery companies have such and such problems.

It's not about money.

To put it bluntly, the biggest difference between them and Python Express is money.

If only they had that much money.

You can also buy airplanes, repair airports, and hire many high-quality employees.

Achieve perfection.

Boss Ma did not answer their questions.

Instead, ask someone to hand you a chopstick.

"Do you think I can break him in pieces?"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

........O

"What's so difficult about this? Isn't it just a light break and it's broken?"

Boss Ma broke the chopsticks with a strong force.

"You're right, you can break him with just a little force."

As he said this, he ordered his men to gather five chopsticks and hold them in their hands.

"Can I break it this time?"

Seeing these courier bosses, they stopped talking. Boss Ma tried to break them off several times.

The result is that no matter how I break it off, I keep breaking it off.

"Look, I can break a chopstick at will."

"But with five chopsticks, I tried my best to eat them, but they couldn't stop eating.

"What does this mean? It means we should unite together."

"Only in this way can we have the strength to compete head-on with Dawei Tianlong and Python Express!"

The five courier bosses looked at each other.

Together, it is easy to speak with your mouth, just touch your upper lip with your lower lip.

If they are really united, many problems will arise.

For example, who is in charge and how much effort will each contribute?

Boss Ma said: "How about we jointly set up an express delivery company."

"This express company is called Eagle Express."

"How about I invest 20 million US dollars in the express company and you each hold a part of the shares?"

When everyone heard that Boss Ma opened his mouth, it was 20 million US dollars.

Everyone looked at each other in shock. .
