Chapter 169 The eldest and the second should interact frequently [Please subscribe! ]
February 2th finally arrived.
Early in the morning, Wang Chengguang just left the guest room and was about to go to the gym to warm up, when he saw Shao Anna, Guan Youbo and the ICBC people in the corridor.
Wang Chengguang greeted them with a smile, "You guys came really early. Have you eaten? Let's eat together later."
This is how he was sent information and Apple shares. He had signed various contract terms, and the people from ICBC helped to hold the investment on his behalf. All of the 30 billion Hong Kong dollars were converted into Apple shares, which are now waiting for their continued appreciation in the future.
A group of people greeted each other politely. At this stage, everyone can only say that Mr. Xinghuo Wang's status is getting bigger and bigger. After all, warm-up is warm-up.
Xinghuo Payment really achieved 3800 million registered users in just ten days after its launch in public beta, which is close to half of Alibaba's Zhifubao users.
Just ten days!
Zhifubao relied on a strong field sales team and worked very hard for a long time to achieve such a presence. Wang Chengguang's strong sniping and picking peaches was too impressive.
Even if this is cheating, with the support of a large platform, just like Pony Ma often uses the power of Penguin without any moral principles, as long as this peach is picked, it means that the trend is set.
Among them, Wang Chengguang's entrepreneurial resume of more than one year is absolutely amazing. He is known as the mainland version of Brother Gaizi, including his terrifying long-distance running ability at the national athlete level and the huge user base brought by his personal halo.
He is now the head of a big factory and is more famous than countless superstars.
Xinghuo Payment is a big business. As long as it goes public to raise funds, it will definitely be a big business, no less than the huge scale of Xinghuo Weibo.
What's more, Shao Anna, Guan Youbo and others also knew that he had invested in Alibaba, Penguin, South African Newspaper Group, and acquired a lot of Apple shares.
In terms of business, the share delivery was easily settled, and Guan Youbo smiled and said, "Boss, are you going to launch a new round of offensive against Alibaba? If necessary, I can try to charge."
From the Olympics to now, Guan Youbo has also enjoyed a lot of benefits as an internet celebrity. Not to mention that he served as the maintenance ambassador for Midea Air Conditioning for a year, earning 200 million yuan, which only requires him to continue to play the role of a maintenance master.
He has too many good halos, such as the image of a sports gun king, a super handsome guy, and an inspirational young man who came out of the slums of Hong Kong Island. Later, he took on some promotional copywriting for sportswear, sports shoes and even cars, shot commercials, etc.
From the Olympic cycle to now, in just half a year, Guan Youbo has earned six or seven million from the internet celebrity business. This is much better than the three to five million a year he earned when he was supported by Shao Anna with public funds.
How should I put it, Guan Youbo's masculine self-confidence has been thoroughly cultivated.
He and Shao Anna have not broken up, and he is also dating two girlfriends at the same time. Now he knows exactly how to behave in front of a real big boss.
Wang Chengguang laughed, "Okay, it's good that you started this horn. After all, you are the number one internet celebrity in Hong Kong-Macau Bay."
"This move is a bit of a dimensionality reduction attack, but we are not distorting or slandering anyone. We are just telling the facts. This is the fact."
Until he traveled through time, SoftBank was still the largest shareholder of Alibaba. Over the past few generations, Masayoshi Aberdeen had sucked away countless wealth without doing anything.
Guan Youbo had 300 million fans during the Olympics, surpassing Shi Xiaomeng at that time. Although his popularity has faded since then, he is still a big V celebrity with over 400 million fans.
Apart from celebrities, he is the most popular person in Hong Kong and Macau on Weibo.
While Guan Youbo ran to operate the computer, Wang Chengguang exchanged pleasantries with Shao Anna and ICBC leaders for a while, then went to the gym.
Warm up here first, then go to the Hong Kong Island Gun Club to play, or consider taking a yacht out to sea. To be honest, he didn't have much fun in Hong Kong Island and Pengcheng last year.
Now that he's famous and has become a super celebrity, the gossip will still spread. However, with the cooperation of the bodyguard team, he is still free to go out to sea. There are few people on the sea, and surfing and diving are also good sports, and he can also gain some fitness experience.
The limelight has died down, and the return will not be so high-profile.
………………
Wang Chengguang's daily life is still very comfortable and leisurely, but in the Internet world, on the morning of the 10th, countless netizens were still immersed in the atmosphere of eating melons about him.
At this stage, everyone thinks he is incredible in various ways, and the biggest mystery is whether he is self-made or has the support of parents like the North American lid...
It was in this environment that Guan Youbo’s Weibo went viral.
"I was lucky enough to be in the mainland during the Olympics. Not only did I see the Olympic athletes, I also visited many beautiful mountains and rivers in my country. During that time, I also used Taobao to shop and Zhifubao to pay. I felt that e-commerce was very convenient."
"It was my bad luck that I bought fake goods. I didn't keep any evidence at the time. I just want to ask Mr. Ma, are Taobao and Zhifubao Chinese or Japanese companies now?"
"According to my investigation, Softbank and Yahoo hold more than 60% of the shares of Taobao and Zhifubao. Don't even mention that there are no listed companies. If the listed companies are like this, Mr. Ma is just an employee."
"SoftBank is also a major shareholder of Yahoo, so doesn't that mean that all netizens who use Taobao and Zhifubao are giving money to Japanese companies? It's almost the 21s now, and as a financial elite in Hong Kong, I shouldn't be so narrow-minded."
"But I'm sorry, there's still a lot of incense in a certain toilet."
"As a man whose grandparents and parents sacrificed several generations for me, I now have a stable and prosperous living environment. In an environment where the island country is still distorting and revising certain books to glorify their invasion of China as just interfering in our internal affairs at the time."
"I used Taobao and Zhifubao for my purchases... The humiliation I suffered was the kind of humiliation that would have infuriated my grandfather and great-grandfather so much that they would have crawled out of their coffins."
"You call aggression simply interference in internal affairs? It's an island nation's war of self-preservation and self-defense?!"
In recent years, the devils have shamelessly rewritten batches of devil books, saying that the more than ten years of aggression against China was a war of self-preservation and self-defense by the devils. The island countries’ Internet is full of insults and hostility towards China. They even included a certain island in the textbooks, saying that it has always been the devil’s...
In the next few years, the Japanese will begin to seize the island.
Guan Youbo's Weibo post really went viral!!
Many netizens in the mainland who were not very informed or knowledgeable about certain matters were learning about such a bizarre and outrageous thing for the first time.
The nightmare-level pain of the Chinese nation caused by the Nandu Massacre was deleted from the Japanese books and denied by them that it did not exist? ?
At 10 p.m. on the th, Xinghuo Weibo was paralyzed.
After less than a working day of settling down and brewing, and repeated escalations on the Xinghuo Weibo, it could not stop the angry netizens. As Hei Guan said, even the great-grandfathers and grandfathers would be so angry that they would crawl out of their coffins.
Taobao and Zhifubao were subsequently paralyzed...
This is definitely not for shopping.
After Xinghuo Weibo returned to normal that evening, the internet was flooded with selfies of people giving the middle finger to certain open pages.
This trend is simply not comparable to shopping and buying counterfeit and shoddy products. Isn't it just online shopping, without Taobao and Zhifubao, you said that the prices of goods that can be guaranteed not to be cheated in Xinghuo online store, Xinghuo payment, and JD flagship self-operated store are generally more expensive?
Use Tenpay and Tencent Pay! If all else fails, there is eBay.
Three years ago, Paipai, eBay and Taobao were still the three giants!
Even if Tencent Penguin has shareholders in South African newspapers, it won't be so angry that your great-grandparents will crawl out of their coffins and scold you for being an unfilial descendant.
Of course Jack struggled hard and held an emergency press conference to announce to the public that he and major shareholders such as Yahoo had signed a preemptive repurchase agreement. If Yahoo transferred its shares in the future, he would have the first right of purchase.
For example, he is trying to operate unequal voting rights for equal shares, AB shares, etc., hoping that even if a large number of shares are held by SoftBank, SoftBank can only pay dividends and have no right to decide on the company's operations.
Useless...
More than a decade of aggressive war has become a simple interference in China's internal affairs. It is the island country's self-preservation and self-defense. The Nandu Massacre was deleted from the book, and what Hei Guan said about a certain toilet still being very popular is also true.
That is to say, at the current stage of Internet use, there is no need to download Taobao, Zhifubao and other independent clients separately, one web page can open all the worlds...
Otherwise this will be a wave of uninstalls.
Just like the future island incident or the mushroom wastewater discharge into the sea incident, there has always been a lack of various trends of boycotting Japanese goods among the Chinese people.
Wang Chengguang's tricks did not really mean to exploit or consume netizens' patriotism to make huge profits for himself. His current wealth is more than he can spend in several lifetimes, and he cannot spend too much on food, clothing and other expenses.
It is much better for Xinghuo to use the money it earns for charity and public welfare to protect the purity of books than to give it steadily to Anben Zhengyi.
More than a decade later, mushroom wastewater is still being discharged into the sea.
There are even various news reports insulting China, and people are bribed to disrupt various books. He can only say that in the original trajectory, Ma achieved equal shares but unequal voting rights, and he did not become a rubber man after gaining control of Alibaba, but he sent huge amounts of money to Aberdeen Justice and Stability, which is a fact.
As for whether Aberdeen has made a public statement like a certain beer executive did, saying that if one does not visit the toilet, he is not qualified to serve as an official in the island country, this has not happened.
But it is hard to say whether he donated money to support the random changes of books. From beer to Three Lings, this car, that Sumitomo, etc., he has always been sending huge amounts of money to support many books.
………………
On the evening of February 2, Wang Chengguang played in the water in Hong Kong Island for a few days, mainly playing sea games. When he returned to Pengcheng, Xiao Ma Ge came personally to pick up the yacht.
When the two met again, Xiao Ma Ge seemed to have changed into a different version of himself, with a smile more benevolent than that of Maitreya Buddha. "Good news, Mr. Wang. Our Penguin Paipai has gained tens of millions of users in just a few days, and the total number of registered users has exceeded 100 million."
"In this wave of abandoning and boycotting Taobao, those who don't want to buy products from Xinghuo and JD flagship stores have basically flowed into Penguin Paipai and eBay."
"I heard that Jack is raising money to buy back shares from SoftBank, and there are many banks willing to support him."
Wang Chengguang nodded. "It is indeed impossible for him to completely collapse this time. As long as he works quickly, he can reduce his stake in Softbank and Yahoo to about 30%. If he cuts it in half, he can explain it to the public. But no matter how fast he works, it may take him half a month or ten days to complete it."
"When the dust settles, whether it's Taobao or Zhifubao, they will be the third in the industry at best."
In just a few days, the number of Xinghuo Payment users has increased from 3500 million when he came to Pengcheng to 7000 million. If this is not intuitive, let me give you an example.
From the time Guan Youbo spoke on the 10th to today, the total transaction volume achieved by Taobao is only more than 9 million yuan. You should know that in September last year, it was 100 billion in a single month, with an average daily transaction volume of 3.3 million, and more than 13 billion in four days.
It's been almost four days, and it's only over 100 million.
In contrast, Xinghuo Payment and Xinghuo Online Store, JD.com, Penguin Paipai, eBay, and Tenpay are all expanding on a large scale.
Jack would not be paralyzed or ruined. As long as he got back the major shares, everything would be fine. After all, this was the largest retail online shopping and third-party payment company in China before 09.
The market and the foundation are there, so there will be no shortage of bank loans to support him in buying back the equity. The only problem is the price.
Before the financial crisis, Alibaba B2B had a market value of more than 200 billion US dollars, and after the crisis it was 20 billion US dollars.
Is Taobao calculated at 200 billion US dollars? Or 20 billion US dollars? What about Zhifubao?
That’s a ten-fold price difference!
How much are the 30% or more of these two big institutions worth? ? The financial crisis has not completely disappeared, and everyone has not yet come out of it. If you pay too little, Softbank and Yahoo will not be happy, and if you pay too much, Jack and the bank will not be happy either.
It must also be pointed out that the big commotion caused by Taobao and Zhifubao, and the momentum of being chased and scolded by almost the entire network, still did not have much impact on the share price of Alibaba B2B. It has already fallen to the bottom and there is not much room for further decline. Moreover, as a B2B listed in Hong Kong Island with equal rights and interests.
Those who hold B2B now are either those who bought at the bottom like Wang Chengguang, or a large number of ordinary people in Hong Kong and the Mainland.
SoftBank and Yahoo are no longer the largest shareholders of Alibaba B2B. After they went public and sold a certain amount of shares to cash out, the rights had been transferred. Only a few years later did Jack buy back all the shares, take back all the shares, and list them in North America, and then it became SoftBank's blood-making cruise ship again.
When the group got in the car and headed back to the city, Xiao Ma Ge laughed again and said, "Although we have gained a lot of users, isn't that the same as helping Jack clear mines?"
"SoftBank holds absolute equity, so Zhifubao has no chance to compete for payment licenses in a regular manner, unless it violates the spirit of the legal contract and opens a shell company to transfer Zhifubao... But now it is unnecessary to take advantage of the opportunity to regain a large stake."
"SoftBank and Yahoo don't want their 60% stake to become worthless, so they have to sell off a portion of it."
The payment license issue happened a few years later, but since the birth and development of Zhifubao and Tenpay, it had already been discussed and proposed.
Sooner or later, the payment field will be formalized and licensed. Pony Ma has heard about it and knows that there will be licensing in the future. It's basic operation.
Wang Chengguang nodded, "What you said makes sense."
This is what Jack was going to do next year and the year after. He probably has already come up with the idea. After a big battle, the Alibaba Group will fall to the third place.
If they continue to quarrel in the future, the eldest and the second oldest will interact with each other frequently, causing the third oldest to gradually disappear from public memory.
Things have developed to this point. It is impossible for Jack to become a god, but with his ability, it is not difficult for him to be a successful second-tier businessman. The more you owe the bank, the better your relationship with the bank.
Wang Chengguang owed ICBC a full 50 billion Hong Kong dollars. No matter whether Jack borrowed tens of billions or hundreds of billions of RMB to redeem his shares this time, he would still get strong support from the bank.
However, facing a series of companies that have already eaten their fill, such as Spark, BigPenguin and JD.com, it is extremely difficult for Alibaba to recover.
