When I came to Ali this time, I was talking about the cooperation between Facebook Mutual Finance Company and Ali. Of course, he, the president, also came along.
As for Cai Congxin, he can be regarded as an old man of Alibaba, and this time he is "returning to his natal family".
And with someone like him who knows both sides well, there is room for maneuver when talking about things, and he won't be too nervous.
Xue Chunhe is the representative of Softbank Capital in China. He originally ran on both sides of Alibaba and Facebook, and at the same time served as a shareholder of both companies.Of course, this year, he spent more time on Facebook.This is not difficult to understand, because SoftBank Capital spent more money on Yu Wenfei.
For official business activities, Yu Wenfei did not drive his ostentatious supercar anymore, and the distance from Shanghai to Hangzhou is not too short, so it is not suitable to drive a supercar.
The company's newly purchased black Daben S600 still bears a black label!
A convoy of four Mercedes-Benz cars stopped directly at Alibaba's newly leased office building. Lao Ma and company executives were already waiting here. When they saw the car stopped, they greeted them with a smile on their faces.
"Welcome President Fei, our Alibaba is really flourishing today!"
"Hey, Mr. Cai is here too?"
"Hello Mr. Xue, you haven't come here to inspect the work for a long time."
"This is Mr. Shen. I have admired it for a long time. Ctrip's mouse and cement mode is really amazing!"
After a circle of greetings, everyone got to know each other.
Yu Wenfei was naturally the center of attention, surrounded by stars, and walked into Ali's office building.
Now Alibaba has shifted its business focus to Taobao, which can be seen from the staffing.
The entire building has seven floors, four of which belong to the Taobao department, two floors belong to the original Alibaba platform, and the highest floor is the executive office.
After Lao Ma showed everyone around, he came to the large meeting room on the top floor.
The conditions on their side are of course incomparable to that of the Star Science and Technology Park. Both the space and the decoration are much poorer.
But this is the status quo of normal start-up companies. Yu Wenfei’s Facebook company has long since left the ranks of ordinary start-up companies, and each one is richer and richer than the other...
"Mr. Fei, do you have anything to take care of for your visit this time?" Old Ma looked at Yu Wenfei with piercing eyes.
With a smile on his face, Yu Wenfei said unhurriedly: "I heard that Taobao has performed quite well since its launch, so come and learn."
Lao Ma's face became tense. Could it be that Yu Wenfei has taken a fancy to the e-commerce industry and is planning to enter the e-commerce industry?
It's no wonder that he is afraid, Yu Wenfei already has a nickname that has been circulated in the circle, that is "industry killer"!
The meaning is to describe that every time Yu Wenfei enters an industry, he will make subversive changes to the entire industry. Companies that used to live well, under his blows, struggle to survive or even die directly.
"Don't worry, at least in the near future, I won't consider entering the e-commerce industry." Yu Wenfei laughed.
Lao Ma breathed a sigh of relief, and introduced: "Taobao started its trial operation in April, and officially opened it to the public in May. As of now, it has been half a year, and as many as 1 have been launched on the Taobao platform. Multiple merchants, more than 430 million registered users! Within half a year, the cumulative transaction amount reached more than 3 million yuan."
When talking about these data, Lao Ma was full of pride.
Taobao is indeed something to be proud of. It can achieve this step in half a year, which has already surpassed many competitors in the same period.
According to Xue Chunhe, Softbank has already planned to invest a large amount of money in Taobao again, because Sun Zhengyi is very optimistic about the e-commerce industry.
Yu Wenfei nodded. These statistics are remarkable to Lao Ma, but in Yu Wenfei's eyes, they are not worth mentioning.
He said, "So, does Mr. Ma want Taobao to have over [-] million users and over [-] billion transactions within a year?"
The people on Ali's side, including Lao Ma, were all dumbfounded.
Because what Yu Wenfei said is too exaggerated!
E-commerce platforms are different from social platforms like Facebook.
Maybe Yuwenfei's Facebook, Facebook games, WeChat, etc., can reach over [-] million users in just a few days, but it doesn't mean that Yuwenfei can also achieve this achievement if it is an e-commerce company.
Because of e-commerce, in 2003, the user base was not large, and many people would not even consider shopping on the Internet.
The payment is troublesome, the quality of the items is not guaranteed, and the transportation time is relatively long. The shopping experience is not as good as that of offline physical stores.
And that transaction amount of over [-] billion is outrageous!
According to Yu Wenfei, that means that there must be 100 million real active users, each of whom has to spend [-] yuan on Taobao to reach this transaction amount.
Taobao's management team, including Lao Ma, never expected that Taobao could achieve that scale within three to five years!
That's just their long-term goal, the goal for the next eight or ten years!
But now, from Yu Wenfei's mouth, it seems that it is very easy to achieve this goal...
Chapter 678 This Is Extortion
"Mr. Fei, you...are you joking?" Lao Ma blurted out.
Yu Wenfei shook his head slightly, and said calmly: "I never joke about business, since I dare to say that, it means I have enough confidence."
The old horse also reacted, that's right, how could a person of Yu Wenfei's identity come all the way to fool him.
If he was really the kind of big talker, it would be impossible for his career to reach the height it is today, and it would be impossible for Sun Zhengyi to praise him all the time, and investment banks all over the world would not rush to invest in him.
"If it can be done, that would be great! However, what conditions does Fei always have? Let's hear it." Lao Ma asked calmly.
In business and business, it is impossible for Yu Wenfei to come here for no reason and give such a big gift to Alibaba, and if he really wants to achieve the goal Yu Wenfei said, he must spend a lot of human and financial resources. There is a price to pay.
Dealing with smart people is peace of mind, Yu Wenfei smiled and said: "Of course there are conditions, because I give the same opportunity to Taobao, and Taobao can become the leader of the domestic e-commerce industry within a year. What if I gave it to eBay... ..."
After speaking, he looked at the old horse, and the old horse's face had changed.
At that time in China, eBay was actually the pioneer of C2C e-commerce, and Taobao was at best a rising star.
Moreover, in 2003, the founder of EachNet sold the website to the American e-commerce giant EBAY for $[-] million due to family reasons!
That is to say, behind eBay, there is a big backer. Lao Ma runs Taobao, and the biggest competitor is eBay.
As Yu Wenfei said, if he helps Taobao, Taobao can surpass eBay and become the leader of domestic C2C e-commerce.On the other hand, if Yuwenfei and eBay join forces, then Taobao may never have a bright future!
Now in front of the old horse, there are not many choices.
No matter what kind of request Yu Wenfei made, he could only agree.
Otherwise, what awaits him and Taobao is "death"!
The air in the meeting room seemed to freeze, and everyone looked at Yu Wenfei, waiting for him to propose conditions.
Yu Wenfei's face was very relaxed, and he said unhurriedly: "I have two conditions. First, Star Technology will become a shareholder of Ali Group, and the shares will be 20.00%."
Lao Ma's heart skipped a beat, Yu Wenfei has a big appetite, one mouthful is 20.00% of Ali Group's shares!
