Hangzhou, Taobao headquarters.

"Mr. Sun, e-commerce competition is fierce. Taobao is currently in urgent need of capital turnover. I hope that the third round of financing can be launched as soon as possible!" The chairman and eo Ma Yun of Taobao. There is a bald, forty or fifty-year-old man. He is no one else but Sun Zhengyi, the chairman of Softbank!

Sun Zhengyi smiled and said: "Don't worry, SoftBank is mobilizing funds and it will be in place soon!"

As soon as the voice fell, his cell phone rang suddenly.

"Sorry, I will answer the call first!"

Sun Zhengyi picked up the phone and walked aside to answer it.

"Chairman, the big thing is not good!!!"

Sun Zhengyi frowned suddenly and said lowly: "What's the matter?"

"Thirty minutes ago, someone sold a large amount of SoftBank stocks and also shorted SoftBank stocks for a large amount, which caused SoftBank's stock price to plummet by 300 yen, which could not help causing panic selling by investors, like an avalanche!!! Chairman, it seems Someone wants to rectify us in the stock market. If we don’t stop, I’m afraid SoftBank’s stock price will fall even worse!!!"

At present, the price of food and minerals have risen, and the competitiveness of Japanese companies in the international arena is much lower than before, and they have also been blocked by Henry Williams, which has caused Japan's economic environment to be very depressed! The SoftBank company in this life is far from Henry's previous life. All good Internet companies were founded by Henry himself. Although SoftBank cast a net everywhere and invested in many Internet companies, those companies did not give SoftBank a great return. Many companies instead Let SoftBank lose money. So far, SoftBank's debt is high, reaching 10 billion U.S. dollars. At this time, Softbank's stock price plummeted, and the blow was very serious!

Sun Zhengyi's face couldn't help becoming gloomy.

He said: "Raise funds as soon as possible to stabilize the stock price!"

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Sun Zhengyi walked heavily to Ma Yun's side.

"Mr. Ma, SoftBank has suffered a sudden change. Some people have been selling and shorting SoftBank's stock in the stock market frantically. Investors panic. SoftBank has to raise a lot of funds to increase the stock price. I am afraid that it has been unable to raise Taobao!"

As soon as Sun Zhengyi finished saying this, Ma Yun's face changed.

At the critical moment when Taobao's capital chain broke at any time, SoftBank actually gave up financing, and the competition in China's e-commerce market is so fierce, precarious, Taobao may immediately be submerged in this red sea!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ma, you can only find a way to raise money. I must hurry back to Japan now!"

After Sun Zhengyi finished speaking, no matter how ugly Ma Yun's face was, he turned and left.

After Sun Zhengyi walked out of the door, the people around Ma Yun were annoyed and said: "The Japanese are really unreliable. At this critical moment of financing, they said that they would not raise financing if they did not!"

"No way, Taobao is just one of his investment projects, and Softbank is the core industry. Taobao has collapsed, and he still has Dangdang!"

"SoftBank still doesn't have absolute confidence in Taobao. Otherwise, it has invested in Taobao. Why should it invest in Dangdang to cultivate a competitor?!"

Ma Yun looked up at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Okay, let alone these useless. The most urgent task now is to find new investors immediately!"

"Ok!"

...

Sun Zhengyi flew back to Tokyo that same day, and then hurried to the headquarters of SoftBank.

"Have you found out who is targeting our Softbank company?" Sun Zhengyi walked into the meeting room where the meeting was being held and asked at the beginning.

"I found it, it was Henry Williams. All of his Softbank shares were sold to the stock market!" The supervisor in charge of the stock market replied immediately.

Henry bought a stake in Softbank that year and held 25% of the shares. After many financings, the shares have been diluted to about 5%. Although he is still one of the major shareholders of software, he has no right to speak. This time, Henry simply sold the stock, causing stockholders to panic. Then he shorted SoftBank and made a fortune! At the same time, it can also stop Softbank's investment in Taobao!

"It's him!" Sun Zhengyi was surprised when he heard Henry's name.

"Yes, Chairman, Henry Williams is almost always the one who shorts SoftBank's stock! So SoftBank is in big trouble!"

At this time, the Minister of Finance said: “Yes, it’s a lot of trouble. The stock price plummeted, causing the major shareholders of SoftBank to suffer heavy losses. They are now very dissatisfied and demand that the company raise the stock price as soon as possible! However, we only raised 2 billion in total. US dollars!"

"Is the bank unwilling to lend?" Sun Zhengyi asked with a frown.

"In this situation, few banks are willing to lend us a loan!" The Minister of Finance sighed, shaking his head.

"Then sell the company's non-core industries to raise funds!" Sun Zhengyi said painfully.

"Yes!"

...

Beijing, Prince Gong's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Japan that SoftBank is selling off non-core industries!" Willett laughed ~lightnovelpub.net~ Ha ha, one after another, let people increase their short-selling efforts in the stock market! "The corner of Henry's mouth rose slightly, and he chuckled, "Didn't SoftBank want to increase its stock price?" Then it depends on who has more money! When Softbank couldn't hold it a little bit, it sent someone to buy the shares of Taobao held by Softbank! "℃≡miào℃≡bi℃≡ge℃≡

"Okay, Your Majesty!"

Jack Ma is worrying about financing. Taobao has a 9% market share in China's e-commerce market. Many venture capital institutions are still optimistic about Taobao. However, Taobao's valuation is very high. If you invest in it now, not only Occupy less than a very high stake, and the rate of return is low, and the risk is high. Venture capital institutions usually favor startups and make angel investments. In this way, the investment is small and the return is large. Even if the investment fails, it will not lose much. As long as one of the 10 startups succeeds, it will also make a profit. Up. If a unicorn company with a market value of $1 billion is born, the venture capital company can make a profit! ! !

Therefore, with Taobao's current scale and situation, it is still relatively difficult for Jack Ma to find financing. Moreover, the major shareholders of Taobao.com are in trouble, which casts an unpredictable shadow on Taobao.com!

Ma Yun first went to three venture capital companies, idg capital, sequoia capital, and dcm capital. Because these three venture capital companies are all shareholders of Taobao.com, it is most likely to continue to invest in Taobao.com. The three venture capital companies originally planned to follow up the investment, but SoftBank suddenly decided not to raise funds, and it was still difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river to protect himself. In this case, the three venture capital companies did not dare to take too much risk and hesitated to give Taobao investment. If you don’t invest in Taobao, then your previous investment will be in vain...

As soon as Ma Yun's front foot walked away, the Henry sent his back foot.
