Silicon Valley
v2 Chapter 450: Enemy with Taobao
A few minutes later, Ma Yun, Sun Zhengyi, and Cai Chongxin came to an elegant and quiet cafe. [The Gate of Profound Realm]
After asking the waiter for three cups of coffee, everyone chatted.
After chatting, the topic came to Taobao. Obviously, both parties intend to lead in this direction. Sun Zhengyi has been talking about it, Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin pretended not to know, and revealed what they had revealed.
"Mr. Ma, it seems that Taobao is really in demand. Not only does Goldman Sachs want to invest in it, but also Prestige Capital has offered extremely favorable conditions."
Sun Zhengyi smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, what do you think of SoftBank Group?"
"What do you mean?" Ma Yun asked knowingly after taking a sip of coffee.
"How about SoftBank Group's investment in Taobao?" Sun Zhengyi said slowly, "SoftBank invested US$4 million in Taobao, holding 40% of its shares. SoftBank is only an investor and will not interfere with Taobao's operations." After speaking, his eyes were straight. Stared at Jack Ma. Through some exchanges, he admired Jack Ma's talents. In addition, many venture capital companies were vying to invest in Taobao, so Sun Zhengyi no longer hesitated and offered a very superior condition.
But this time, Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin were shocked.
Just for a cup of coffee, Sun Zhengyi actually spent $4 million to invest in Taobao. Although there is no superior conditions for Prestige Capital, the number of shares held is small, and the controlling rights of the company are still in the hands of Jack Ma and the management team. [Fight Breaking the Sky]
At this time, Sun Zhengyi began to dismantle Prestige Capital. He said to Ma Yun: “Mr. Ma, presumably you also know whose company is Prestige Capital. And whose company is Nicholas International E-commerce. Prestige Capital’s investment in Taobao is obviously uneasy and kind. Even if Taobao develops in the future, it will only be a wedding dress for Nicholas International E-commerce!"
Ma Yun couldn't help being silent. Sun Zhengyi's words were not wrong at all, and this was exactly what he was worried about. Otherwise, the prestige capital offered such a favorable condition, he had agreed to it a long time ago.
Cai Chongxin said in a low voice: "Mr. Ma, the conditions offered by SoftBank are most suitable for us!"
Ma Yun nodded, and then said to Sun Zhengyi: "Mr. Sun, I agree to your terms!!!"
Sun Zhengyi suddenly laughed and stretched out his hand and said, "I hope we can cooperate happily in the future!"
"Happy cooperation!"
"Well, it's better to hit the sun instead of choosing a day. Let's sign the contract today."
Ma Yun hesitated, but still agreed: "Okay, no problem!"
Sun Zhengyi immediately called two lawyers to draw up the contract. Two hours later, in this cafe, Jack Ma and Sun Zhengyi officially signed a financing contract. [Indestructible Dragon Emperor]
Immediately, Sun Zhengyi issued a cheque for 4 million U.S. dollars to Jack Ma.
Jack Ma took the check excitedly. With so much money, Taobao can finally show its talents.
"Mr. Ma, Taobao is up to you!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Sun!"
...
In the afternoon, Jack Ma transferred the money on the check to the company's bank card. Excited at night, I can't even sleep.
Early the next morning, Jack Ma decided to notify several other venture capital firms that he had accepted SoftBank's investment. When Goldman Sachs heard that SoftBank made such a condition, there was nothing to say.
Zhongguancun, the prestige capital.
After receiving Ma Yun's notice, Rayleigh Kerm felt a little angry. In his opinion, Ma Yun is simply crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. If it weren't for the high valuation of Taobao by Prestige Capital, how could Jack Ma have raised $4 million in financing just by giving up 40%?
Others have signed contracts, and it's useless to say anything.
Subsequently, Rayleigh Kerm soon spread the news to the United States. Henry was also speechless when he got the news.
The Chinese market is huge and Taobao has money. With Jack Ma's ability, it can definitely develop. This undoubtedly adds a powerful opponent to Nicholas International E-commerce.
In his previous life, Henry knew that Jack Ma was an unwilling master to be lonely.
Alipay is Jack Ma carrying Yahoo and Softbank on his back, independent of them, and then aside Yahoo and Softbank, it is said to have existed. With this mentality, Jack Ma is totally unsuitable to be a professional manager. Yahoo and Softbank were not lightly pitted.
Henry thought for a while, now is different. Although Jack Ma is great, he is even more bg-like.
"Follow the way of others, let others have nowhere to go!" This is Henry's motto.
In fact, he has been implementing his motto. Over the years, I don’t know how many companies that should have existed in past lives have disappeared, and people who should have become rich have disappeared. However, this is a different world, a different life!
Okay, since Jack Ma chose Softbank, Henry focused on developing Nicholas' international e-commerce. As long as you do a good job of service, the products will not be deceived. With the strength of Nicholas' international e-commerce, Taobao can't keep up.
Henry's only concern is the attitude of the Chinese government, but I think that e-commerce is different from search and social networking, and the Chinese government should not block it. Moreover, once Nicholas International E-commerce becomes bigger and stronger, millions of businesses will have to rely on Nicholas International E-commerce to survive. The Chinese government is even less likely to block it.
Today, Henry has deployed express delivery in this land of China, which will play a huge role in the development of Nicholas' international e-commerce. And the third-party payment system paypal has become popular in the Chinese e-commerce market, even Taobao is now using paypal. As for Alipay, there is not even a shadow.
In Taobao Station, merchants can enter for free. Amazon, eBay and Alibaba, under the Nicholas International E-Commerce Group, all need to pay a fee. This habit is normal in Europe and the United States. If you don't collect money, it will become abnormal, and even lead to fewer consumers. Because in the eyes of consumers, if you don't pay, the store's products are definitely inferior. Therefore, they would rather change to an e-commerce site.
National conditions and values are different, so paying a fee to open a shop is a bit unworkable in China.
Taobao adheres to the "free" principle, so its development speed is very fast.
As a "comer", Henry naturally understands how ~lightnovelpub.net~ Taobao defeated eBay. Therefore, without even thinking about it, Nicholas International e-commerce company began to reform, open stores on Amazon (China), eBay (China), Alibaba (China), completely free, and the use of paypal is also exempt from handling fees.
However, the company is big and the trouble is also big. It can be said that it affects the whole body.
No, after Nicholas International e-commerce reforms in China, some stores in other countries are dissatisfied. They complained, why are they giving such good conditions to Chinese stores? This is unfair to shops in other countries.
Henry had anticipated this. Immediately launched the "Paid Store Certification Medal." You can get this certification medal when you pay, and you don’t want to pay. When they find that stores with "paid store certification medals" are more worthy of people's trust, when sales are higher, they will naturally know how to choose!
