Silicon Valley
Chapter 581
Seeing the shock, Liu Liang said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, Oriental capital is based in China and aims to help the development of Chinese enterprises! Although we hold 65% of the shares, the management of the company is still handed over to the Taobao team. Generally speaking, we will not intervene! "
Hearing this, Ma Yun was a little relieved.
At this time, Liu Liang said: "today''s shareholders'' meeting has two purposes, one is to announce the existence of Oriental capital to you, the other is to discuss the financing of Taobao. The situation of Taobao is more and more serious. On the PC side, Nicholas international e-commerce occupies the largest share, while Taobao only has 9%; On the mobile end, Nicholas international e-commerce monopolized 95% of the market share! " After a pause, Liu Liang looked around Ma Yun and others, put a little pressure on them, and then continued, "therefore, Taobao must speed up its development. In terms of capital investment, we must be willing to spend money. At the same time, we should establish a new brand website, tmall, and enter into the B2C field, that is, enterprises and users. We should invite famous and powerful enterprises to enter tmall, so as to break the impression that people regard Taobao as a fake
It''s a good idea to build tmall.com and change the image of taobao.com.
Ma Yun asked: "Mr. Liu, it takes a lot of money to build a new brand. Excuse me, how much money does Oriental capital plan to raise for Taobao? "
"Is $100 million enough?" Liu asked with a smile
Ma Yun nodded: "it''s enough for the time being. If it''s too much, we don''t want it!" If there is too much financing, the shares of Ma Yun''s team will be diluted too much, so naturally, they are not willing to raise too much!
"OK, raise 100 million dollars! We will sign the financing agreement later, and the capital will arrive at the account immediately! "
Ma Yun nodded again: "OK, no problem!"
Soon, the two sides signed a financing agreement, and Dongfang capital injected US $100 million to further increase its Taobao shares, holding a total of 72.5%. Ma Yun holds 10% of Taobao''s shares, while the rest jointly hold 17.5%.
That afternoon, Taobao and Oriental capital held a press conference to announce the third round of financing of Taobao.
Oriental capital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Williams Royal Investment Company, now holds 72.5% of Taobao shares, similar to Henry''s shares in Nicholas international e-commerce. No matter which company develops, it''s the same for Henry. Other e-commerce companies will be squeezed out by Taobao and Nicholas international e-commerce group, and the whole market will be occupied by two e-commerce giants.
"Mr. Ma, do you have time to go to Beijing?"
Liu Liang''s question made Ma Yun feel a little confused. He thought about it and replied, "have time!"
"Your Majesty Williams wants to see you. Just go to Prince Gong''s house and find him!" Liu Liang finished, then showed a trace of inexplicable smile to Ma Yun. Seeing this smile, Ma Yun suddenly clapped in his heart, "is Henry Williams the boss behind the scenes of Oriental capital?"
Thinking of this, Ma Yun took a deep breath“ OK, I''ll leave for Beijing tomorrow! " He said.
Liu Liang smiles again, and then takes the people of Oriental capital to leave Taobao headquarters.
In the early morning of the next day, Ma Yun flew to Beijing.
It''s snowing in Beijing. It''s very beautiful. Ma Yun got off the plane and rushed to Prince Gongqin''s residence. When he arrived at his destination, he immediately introduced himself to the guard and said, "Hello, I''m Ma Yun. I''m looking for your majesty Williams!"
"Are you Ma Yun? OK, your majesty will tell you that when you come, you will be taken directly into the palace. Your majesty and Princess Karina are just enjoying the snow in the back garden
Ma Yun entered the palace under the guidance of the guard. The palace was decorated with carved hurdles and painted buildings. It was very charming with antique and snow scenery. As we approached the back garden, we heard someone chanting a poem.
"The scenery of northern China, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow.
Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, I can see nothing but Mangmang; Up and down the river, suddenly lost the torrent.
The mountain dances with silver snakes, and the wax statues are in full swing. I want to compete with the God. "
"Ha ha, it''s a good sentence:" I want to compete with the Lord of heaven. "! What do you think of me compared to God, Karina? "
"Your Majesty, what is heaven? Your goal is the sea of stars!" Kellina joked.
At this time, Henry noticed that someone not far away came over and fixed his eyes. Isn''t that Ma Yun?
Seeing that Henry was looking at him, Ma Yun quickly took three and two steps to walk over and said respectfully, "Hello, your majesty Williams!"
"Hello, Princess Karina!" Said, and quickly to kailinna line a gift.
"Mr. Ma has come all the way to Beijing. I haven''t had a rest yet."
"Thank you for your concern. I''m not tired!"
"Well, let''s talk in the Pavilion!"
"Good!"
With a smile, Henry led the way to a garden pavilion not far away, and told the servant to prepare something to eat.
Henry, Kalina and Ma Yun sit behind.
Henry smiles and asks, "does Mr. Ma know why Liu Liang, CEO of Orient capital, asked you to come to see me?"
Ma Yun sees him to ask so, more and more affirmation Oriental capital''s backstage boss is him.
"Because Oriental capital is your Majesty''s company!" Ma Yun looked into Henry''s eyes and said firmly.
Henry laughed. "It seems that Mr. Ma also guessed... Yes, Oriental capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Williams Royal Investment Company!"
"Your Majesty, I have a doubt. Since your majesty has owned Nicholas international e-commerce, why invest in Taobao? "
"Very simply, the Chinese market is huge enough to create two or more e-commerce giants. I hope to hold them all in my hands!"
"Your Majesty, I have another question, which is very important!"
"Come on, what''s the problem?"
"When Taobao competes with Nicholas international e-commerce, which side do you prefer?" Ma Yun asked seriously.
When Henry heard this, he couldn''t help laughing: "with my status and wealth today, what I''m looking for is not money, but influence! If Taobao has the ability to acquire Nicholas international e-commerce, I will certainly give my full support. Of course, I hope the two companies can cooperate with each other and monopolize the global e-commerce! Do you understand what I mean when I say that? "
Ma Yun nodded: "yes, your majesty, I understand!"
"Very good!!" Henry nodded with satisfaction, and then waved to her secretary, Willett, who immediately handed over a document.
Henry looked at Ma Yun and said, "open it and have a look!"
Ma Yun was slightly stunned, then took over the document and began to read it. After less than half a minute, Ma Yun''s face showed an extremely shocked look!
