As one of the top bosses in the domestic Internet industry, Jack Ma is definitely having a prosperous life during this time.
As the founder of Taobao, Alibaba’s market value exceeds 1.4 trillion.
And, as currently the largest e-commerce platform in China, there are millions of large and small merchants across the country living on it.
Coupled with logistics-related practitioners, it is definitely a super software that affects the people.
At this time, if Jackma arrives in Qin Province, he can easily meet the chief manager and sign an agreement with him.
In addition, something happened at the beginning of this year that also pushed Jack Ma's prestige to another level.
At the beginning of the year, the industrial and commercial authorities released a report on the targeted inspection results of online traded goods in the second half of 2014. Among them, Taobao was named as having the lowest authenticity rate, only 37.25%.
Selling fake goods will undoubtedly have a huge impact on an e-commerce platform.
Especially if it is an authoritative department such as the industrial and commercial administration department, the documents issued are even more authoritative and credible.
Ever since, four days later, Taobao forwarded an open letter through its official Weibo, publicly announcing that there were sampling, procedural and other problems in the test report.
The industry and commerce authorities responded to the query and stated that the testing report standards are unified and directional testing is the normal way of working.
Then, the competent authorities posted the "White Paper on Administrative Guidance for Alibaba Group" on the official website, indicating that there are five major problems in the Alibaba platform, and requiring Alibaba executives to overcome their arrogance and hold the bottom line, using words Quite harsh.
However, what no one expected was that Taobao responded extremely strongly, directly indicating the need to complain and officially breaking up.
Not only that, an ‘anti-counterfeiting team’ of 300 people was immediately established to carry out anti-counterfeiting activities on the platform.
At the same time, Jack Ma publicly stated: Taobao is not responsible for counterfeit goods, and Taobao is willing to take responsibility, but the problem of counterfeit goods needs to be jointly managed, and his tone is not as strong as before.
At the same time, the official website deleted the white paper.
The matter did not end here. The leaders of the industrial and commercial units directly said at the meeting that "Alibaba is fined one percent of its transaction volume every day" and "it is fined 1,800 or even thousands of times a year." 'Across the country, 400,000 industrial and commercial businesses have issued fines to Alibaba platforms and merchants, which has become the norm' and so on.
On this day, higher-level units publicly stated that they would intensify efforts to rectify e-commerce.
Major news media followed closely, detailing the pain points of e-commerce, and pointed the finger at Taobao.
At this point, Ali naturally had no way out and expressed the need and was preparing to make a formal complaint.
With these successive changes, Alibaba's market value has evaporated by more than 30 billion U.S. dollars. Bald Eagle has taken advantage of the situation, and many law firms have launched investigations into alleged fraud in the listing.
On January 30, the Director of Industry and Commerce met with Jack Ma, and the two sides reached a consensus, stating that the two sides would strengthen communication, jointly explore the Internet market supervision model, and build a new pattern of social co-governance.
That evening, the official statement that the white paper did not have legal effect.
An extremely fierce game ended with both parties shaking hands and making peace. The strong attitude shown by Jack Ma in this process caused huge repercussions in the Internet industry and the business community, and established Jack Ma's career in one fell swoop. Jianghu status.
It is conceivable that after this incident, Jack Ma's mentality has already undergone tremendous changes.
Therefore, when he heard the conditions offered by Wang Donglai, Jack Ma's face darkened and he looked at Wang Donglai with an oppressive look.
Faced with Jack Ma’s strong sense of oppression, Xu Zhibin turned a blind eye and continued to eat the food on the table, as if he didn’t feel any strangeness in the atmosphere.
As for Wang Donglai, his expression was indifferent, but there was a hint of disappointment and regret in his eyes when he looked at Jack Ma.
"Mr. Ma, actually before coming here, I was quite looking forward to this meeting."
"It's just that I am very disappointed now."
"Five billion, four percent of the shares. I think this price is quite generous."
"However, Mr. Ma thought that I was talking too much and was unwilling to accept such a price." Regarding this, either Mr. Ma doesn’t like Yinhe Technology at all, or Mr. Ma is deliberately exerting pressure.”
“No matter what the possibility is, I regret this!”
“Artificial intelligence technology, looking at the country, the products developed by our company are definitely the first level. Even now, when the technology has not yet completely broken through, the commercial value it possesses can already support a company. The company has a market value of 100 billion.”
“In the smart era, electricity is often not taken seriously, but its existence is essential.”
"The semi-solid battery technology I developed is far superior to all kinds of batteries on the market, and its performance is excellent. The value of this battery alone, estimated at 100 billion, is just the beginning."
"On the other hand, , the importance of the semiconductor field, you only need to look at the annual domestic import volume You know how big a market this is.”
“Five billion, four percent of the shares, if Mr. Ma thinks it’s too much, then I can only say sorry!”
< br>Jack Ma has always thought that he is very eloquent and can often inspire people in just a few sentences.
However, now after hearing Wang Donglai’s words, Jack Ma knew that he was wrong.
My eloquence is not important, it is mainly because of my identity and the blessing of money that I become powerful.
Just like what Wang Donglai said at this moment.
If it were a fledgling entrepreneur, he would not listen to the whole story at all, and would leave directly after hearing half of it.
However, in front of him, the person who said these words was Wang Donglai, a genius who had already produced a real product.
In just three years, Galaxy Technology has become a giant company with a market value of over 100 billion.
Moreover, it can be seen with the naked eye that Galaxy Technology already has the huge potential to become a trillion-dollar enterprise.
It only takes a little time to develop to this extent smoothly.
Jack Ma’s heart was moved.
But he was not willing to lose the initiative just like that. At the same time, he was really reluctant to spend 5 billion and could only get 4% of the shares.
He wants more!
Ever since, Jack Ma pretended to be calm and said: "Professor Wang, I can only partially agree with what you said."
"Indeed, technology is very important, but on another level, it is not So important."
"Only in the hands of the right people, coupled with the right marketing methods, can technology be truly developed."
" A great product may not be a successful product. The two are not completely connected.”
“Professor Wang said that artificial intelligence is the future. I don’t deny this, but the current artificial intelligence technology. We are still far away from true artificial intelligence. There are countless laboratories around the world doing research. If your company can lead for a while, it may not always be able to lead.”
"In addition, the commercial value of semi-solid-state batteries is indeed great, but in the face of real solid-state batteries, its value will drop sharply. Who can guarantee that other laboratories will not come up with real solid-state batteries? Sakura Country next door The development of solid-state batteries requires Earlier than us, and the same is true in terms of the number of patent applications.”
“A temporary lead may not lead forever.”
“However, I do recognize your company’s development model. , and for Professor Wang’s research and development capabilities I also admire him very much, so I am willing to spend 5 billion, but I have to give 20% of the shares.”
“As a veteran in the business world, I must warn Professor Wang, That is, a thousand birds in the forest is worse than a bird in the hand. If you want to continue to To continue to occupy technological advantages, we must increase investment in research, recruit talents, and purchase more and more advanced equipment.”
“So, I think Professor Wang should be able to figure out what to do. Correct.”··
Looking at Jack Ma who was talking big words in a serious manner, Wang Donglai couldn't help but admire him.
No businessman, no traitor!
Those who do business must be thick-skinned and able to lie without hesitation.
As one of the most successful businessmen in the country, Jack Ma has naturally mastered this ability skillfully. The instinct of a businessman is to maximize profits, and by suppressing Wang Donglai's psychological expectations, resulting in a gap between the valuation and the actual price, Jack Ma can gain huge profits from this.
In other words, in simple words, Jack Ma reduced a product worth ten yuan to only three yuan, but in fact, it can be sold in the market for twenty yuan.
The greater the price difference, the greater the profit of Jack Horse.
Such a method cannot be concealed from Wang Donglai at all.
After all, Wang Donglai is the one who raised [Economy] to lv6.
The reason why he chose this subject was not to help him achieve great success in business, but simply because he did not want to be cheated by others.
Using Tangtang's technological leadership to achieve commercial success is much more satisfying than using other means.
"Mr. Ma, I only allocated two hours for this meeting. You were half an hour late, and another half hour passed. Now there is only one hour left."
< br>Wang Dong came to look at the time and reminded Jackma loudly.
“Oh, it seems that I need to thank Professor Wang for giving me this opportunity.”
Jack Ma is not willing to lose his momentum as a business tycoon in front of Wang Donglai. responded.
Wang Donglai just smiled and said nothing.
Seeing this, Jack Ma took a deep breath, suppressed his unhappy mood, and said, "Professor Wang just said that the shares of Galaxy Technology will not be split, but the shares of the following subsidiaries will be taken out. Can you talk about it in detail? "
Wang Donglai nodded and said: "It's very simple. Galaxy Technology has covered enough fields, and its scale has also increased. It is natural to re-adjust the organizational structure. each item It’s the right time for Mudu to establish a separate subsidiary.”
Jack Ma also knew the details of Galaxy Technology, so he asked: “The Douyin and Penguin Ma’s Weishi developed by your company are in the same competition. On the road, isn’t your company worried?”
Wang Donglai said confidently: “Penguin’s lifeblood is social. As long as we don’t challenge Penguin in this aspect, the pressure will always be limited!”
Jack Ma narrowed his eyes slightly and asked abruptly: "Doesn't Professor Wang know that the e-commerce platform is my lifeblood? If your company is founded with a knife and poached my company's people, isn't it afraid of me?"< br>
“Penguin socialization has It has essentially achieved a monopoly and will not give opportunities to newcomers. However, your company does not monopolize the e-commerce industry, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve a monopoly, so it is natural for new entrants to appear.”
Jack Ma's face was still gloomy, Said: "From what Professor Wang said, it seems that he is more optimistic about Penguin Horse, but the opposite is true for me?"
Faced with this question, Wang Donglai hesitated for a rare moment, but still nodded. , said: "Penguin Ma and Mr. Ma's The styles are different. Although Penguin is also very domineering, Penguin Ma is very low-key and rarely appears in front of the public. "
"Mr. Ma is too flamboyant, likes to teach others, and likes to enjoy the feeling of being in the media. ”
"This is the personality gap between the two. In terms of business model, I am actually more optimistic about Penguin. Some of Mr. Ma's ideas and practices are already very dangerous in my opinion."
Wang Donglai The answer was beyond Jackma's expectation.
After all, since he became famous, no one has dared to say such unfavorable words in front of him.
So, Jackma subconsciously became angry.
However, he still suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Professor Wang, I would like to hear your opinion on what I have done to make you so unfavorable."
Now that he had decided to speak freely, Wang Donglai did not hide anything and immediately asked a very pointed question: "Mr. Ma, do you think your company's achievements are all the result of you and your team?"
< br>Jack Horse He nodded proudly and asked: "Isn't it?"
"Oh, Mr. Ma, I don't think so!"
"There has never been an era of Mr. Ma, only Mr. Ma of the times. , Ali did indeed make Huge achievements, including the role of Mr. Ma’s outstanding vision and business strategy, as well as the efforts of your company’s executives and employees, but more importantly, the national transportation system and national network communication infrastructure invested and constructed by the state.”
“Without the infrastructure and logistics system that connects every village, and without signal towers and signal base stations all over the country, would your company’s online shopping still be able to achieve such a large scale?”
"The biggest cost of the Internet industry has actually been borne by the state. You only need a computer and a network cable to start a business. Behind this is the state paying the cost."
"The development of online shopping, It is also inseparable from the support of the state, which Mr. Ma will probably not refute.”
“Of course, Mr. Ma may say that. How many jobs have been provided, how many taxes have been paid, how many billionaires have been created, how much money has been donated, and how many good things have been done.”
“But aren’t these what we should do?”< br>
“Businessmen have to pay taxes. This is natural and stipulated by law. When did it become merit?”
"Provide employment? Can a company start without employees? Don't employees create value for the company? So why use such a high-sounding excuse."
Hearing Wang Donglai say this, Jack Ma immediately shouted Break.
"Professor Wang, what you said is a bit extreme. There are many factors involved in career success, including luck, strength, and external factors. These cannot be quantified at all."
" Moreover, although paying taxes and providing employment are our duties, this is not the same as There is no conflict in bringing it up for publicity. On the contrary, such publicity is more meaningful to the entire society. I don’t think Professor Wang doesn’t understand, right?”
“Finally, if this is what Professor Wang wants to say. If so, I’m very disappointed!”
Wang Donglai took a deep look at Jack Ma, then dropped the topic and continued: "Okay, then I will say one more thing. Mr. Ma can think about it carefully."
"Your company's media layout In the industry, he founded Tianxia Magazine and Tianxia Online Commerce, invested in Momo, Weibo, and Wasu Media, and acquired equity interests in Alibaba Pictures, Xiami Music, and Huayi Brothers. "
"In addition, he also invested in Cultural Huaguo. , excellent soil Dou, Huxiu.com, 21st Century Media, Guangguang Media, Guangdong Media, Beiqing Community News, China Business News, Dianguang Media Strategic Cooperation, Cover News, 36 Krypton, Unbounded News, etc."
"Breakdown. one Next, your company’s layout in the media field is terrifying.”
“Mr. Ma, you are a smart person and you should know that there are some things you should not touch and you need to avoid suspicion.”
"Your company is like an octopus, spreading its tentacles and developing in various fields. Coupled with Mr. Ma's temper and character, if you don't restrain yourself, there will be disaster in the future!"
Jack Ma's face twitched. , suddenly became extremely difficult to look at.
Wang Donglai’s words were undoubtedly a curse on him.
Besides being angry, Jack Ma could not help but feel a trace of contempt.
He admitted that Wang Donglai did have a sharp vision and strong technical research and development capabilities, but after all, Wang Donglai was still too young and did not understand some things at all.
A thought suddenly flashed through Jackma's mind, and he suddenly changed his face and said coldly: "Professor Wang, since you don't think so highly of me, then I won't waste Professor Wang's time. I'll put aside the investment issue for the time being. Professor Wang can go and see other investors first. If others agree with Professor Wang’s valuation plan, how about I invest?”
Wang Donglai suddenly laughed, stood up, and said with a smile: “ Mr. Ma , First of all, thank you very much for today’s reception.”
“If Mr. Ma is not willing to invest, today’s meeting will end here. But if Mr. Ma wants to invest again later, the price will not be the current five billion. Four percent of the shares."
"Mr. Ma was half an hour late, 10 million per minute, and then we will add another 300 million."
"Goodbye! ”
Jack Ma was extremely funny, but he had made up his mind to call other people in the industry to try to calm down Wang Donglai's enthusiasm.
With his status and reputation in the industry at this time, he can still do this as long as he speaks out.
After all, it is just a pressure, not cutting off Wang Donglai's financing channels. If Jack Ma has this confidence, other big guys will give him this face.
Doing this will actually be beneficial to other people. By suppressing Wang Donglai's psychological expectations together, they will be able to gain more benefits.
In Jackma’s opinion, no one would refuse such a proposal. (End of chapter)
