Although Alibaba is very profitable, and although Alibaba is a Chinese company, it is undeniable that its shareholders are all foreigners.
Although most of the money earned belongs to China, it is undeniable that a lot of money still goes abroad.
Including Teng Xun, Baidu, well, Baidu probably forget it, it just played with itself,
Lin Feng had never thought of registering Fengrui Company abroad and creating an offshore company to pay less taxes.
Why should you pay less tax? Pay more tax if you can, and contribute to Guo Jia. Why are you taking advantage of Guo Jia!
If Fengrui wanted to take advantage of Guo Jia, then Lin Feng would take advantage of Guo Jia directly and openly, such as directly allocating 10,000 acres of land or something.
Therefore, when Lin Feng met Ma Yun, he was not too excited. As an entrepreneur, he said in an equal manner: "Mr. Ma, I really admire your name for a long time!"
The reason why Ma Yun traveled so far to come to Fengrui was simply for cooperation, investment, shareholding, and even acquisitions.
After all, today's Fengrui is not even close to Ali, and Ali, who has "e-commerce genes", has always had a "social heart"!
And Ma Yun looks like a monkey spirit at first glance, but her appearance is really miserable, as if someone had punched her twice in the face.
Otherwise, many people say that the best compliment to praise a man's appearance is "You really look like Ma Yun."
However, the uglier the person, the more confident he is. Ma Yun is the most confident of confidences, and this has even become his advantage.
This is the first time Ma Yun has met Lin Feng, a very young, very young university graduate entrepreneur. Lin Feng is really too young. This is everyone's first feeling when they meet Lin Feng.
But Lin Feng is not like a young man at all, he is too stable. Even in front of him, he knows everything about you.
What's more important is that Lin Feng is a very successful director. He can earn hundreds of millions from one movie, which is almost money that many people can't make in their lifetime.
It is very impressive that one person can achieve such great achievements in two different fields at the same time!
But Ma Yun has never met anyone, and he is the overlord of his own side and a good talker. His first sentence is also very comfortable.
"Mr. Lin, I have also admired your name for a long time. Recently, I have heard your name the most. Before, it was because of your movies.
At that time, my feelings were not very deep. After all, we are in different fields. I just thought you were a very good director;
Now it is because of your WeChat that I feel deeply about this. After all, I am in the Internet circle, and I am even a little surprised.
To be honest, I thought that at this stage of China's Internet development, there would be no chance, or we would only have to wait for the giants to make mistakes.
But Mr. Lin, you gave me a surprise, it was really a surprise, especially for Tengxun, and this is also my purpose this time.
I also know that Mr. Lin is not short of money now, he has talent as a director, and there are a lot of financial institutions outside waiting to invest in him.
So I don’t have any thoughts in this regard, I just want to cooperate with WeChat?”
"Oh, how can we work together to create magic?" Lin Feng asked casually.
Lin Feng really wants to hear how Ma Yun cooperates. After all, Fengrui is far behind Ali now, so cooperation can easily become uneven!
Social e-commerce was Ma Yun's idea, and he said straight to the point: "It's very simple, social e-commerce.
Specifically: Our Alibaba communication chat software can be replaced by WeChat, including the desktop version, which can be replaced by web WeChat.
WeChat must allow users to link to Taobao’s online store, but we at Alibaba also need a set of WeChat data.”
"Is it just about users' shopping data on Alibaba? If so, it's all fine." Lin Feng asked.
"No, all user behavior data, including entertainment chat data." Ma Yun corrected.
"This is impossible. We will not unilaterally sell user data to others, and your conditions are not enough. Alibaba's Wangwang chat software is not enough!" Lin Feng refused.
"Mr. Lin, didn't I say we should cooperate? If our Ali shares are exchanged with yours Fengrui, we will be one of you, and we will be one of you. We will be a family!" Ma Yun said with a smile.
"Then how can this share ratio be exchanged?" Lin Feng asked with interest. He was only interested in the matter, not really thinking about it.
"Now our listed B2B company under Alibaba in Xiangjiang alone has a market value of 20 billion US dollars. How can we include our Taobao, Alipay,
Although I dare not say that it exceeds Tencent’s 46 billion US dollars, but if we add all Alibaba’s together, the entire Alibaba Group must be worth 30 or 40 billion US dollars!”
Ma Yun also came prepared and just opened her mouth and said it out. This was a bit difficult for him. After all, he had scored 1 point in the college entrance examination mathematics!
“Because Fengrui has not yet been listed, and Fengrui is still facing the challenge of Tencent, our share exchange ratio is 1:30.
In other words, every 1% of Alibaba shares can be exchanged for 30% of Fengrui shares, which is equivalent to our valuation of Fengrui at US$1 billion!
Of course, Mr. Lin will decide the specific proportion of shares to be exchanged, but I think the minimum should not be less than 10% of the shares." Ma Yun gave her conditions.
"This is impossible, Mr. Ma. You ask for too much, and Fengrui will not agree to it." Lin Feng refused without even thinking about it.
Ma Yun said it was a share swap, but it was actually like using shares to acquire Fengrui in disguise.
If Lin Feng really exchanges shares as Ma Yun said, then Fengrui will be completely eaten up by Ali.
Just look at what happened to Yahoo!
At that time, Yahoo exchanged "1 billion US dollars + Yahoo China" for 40% of the shares of Alibaba Group, becoming the largest shareholder of Alibaba.
But in the end, she was kicked out by Ma Yun, and she even tried to separate Alipay from Yahoo!
Lin Feng didn't want to play any kind of intrigue with Ma Yun. He simply used strength to defeat others and won with skills. He didn't like these things. Besides, he couldn't beat Ma Yun when it came to cheating!
Ma Yun sold Yahoo, and Yahoo still had to count the money for him. There was no way. Who told Alibaba to become Alibaba in the end?
"Then 1:20 is also feasible, you can't possibly ask for 1:10." Ma Yun said with a smile.
"Mr. Ma, it's not about the share ratio, it's about the share s No matter how the swap is done, we, Fengrui, will definitely suffer in the end.
If we talk about cooperation, we can continue to talk. If it is just a share exchange, then I can only apologize, I will not change the future value into the current value." Lin Feng refused directly.
"Mr. Lin, don't think about it anymore. After all, it's better to have one more partner than one more enemy.
Everything is meaningful only if we succeed, otherwise we will have nothing in the end, and who will remember us then?
Don’t say Fengrui didn’t succeed, even if it succeeds, our cooperation plan is not too much!” Ma Yun argued again.
"Mr. Ma, your plan is good, but it is based on the current foundation, but I have confidence in Fengrui.
I dare not say whether Fengrui Biali can surpass Ali in the future, but it is not impossible, so why not reverse your replacement ratio?
Why not every 10% of Alibaba shares can be exchanged for 1% of Fengrui shares! And if I say this now, you won’t believe it.
So I said we only talk about cooperation, not about shares. If Alibaba really wants to cooperate, Fengrui welcomes it at any time.
But if there is a direct exchange of shares, then I can only say sorry." Lin Feng said very seriously.
At this time, Ma Yun also saw Lin Feng's determined look and knew that there would be no results if the conversation continued. He finally said:
"Mr. Lin, what I just said has always been effective. Even if Fengrui fails in the end, I will keep my word because I am optimistic about you.
I think you alone are worth these values, so if Fengrui fails, you can give me a call."
"Thank you very much for Mr. Ma's support. I just hope that this phone call will never be made. Next time we meet, we can sit down and have a good chat as equals." Lin Feng said.
Although Lin Feng is an equal, Ma Yun will not treat Lin Feng as an equal.
After all, Fengrui has just risen, Lin Feng is just starting out, and Ma Yun has been practicing on "Huashan" for many years.
Ma Yun didn't say anything, just nodded and turned around and left.
However, Ma Yun was not idle when he returned. His first order when he returned to Hangzhou Alibaba was to directly go online to "reciprocate".
Ma Yun had already prepared the rest. The reason why he went to Yanjing was to test the military situation, just in case Lin Feng really agreed!
Moreover, Ma Yun personally strongly promoted the promotion of the mobile communication tool "Laitang". He directly called for it in an internal email:
"Just look at WeChat. This is our best opportunity to enter the social field. Let us challenge all this with the spirit of Foolish Old Man to move mountains!"
Ma Yun even directly assigned task indicators to each Alibaba employee:
"Each Alibaba employee must have more than 100 external 'contact' users before the end of November, otherwise it will be deemed as giving up the company's year-end red envelope at the end of the year!"
Internet companies have a lot of year-end red envelopes, let alone Alibaba, the red envelopes are definitely big.
***
The same thing happened to 365 who came to Yanjing. Zhou Hongyi did not want to miss the opportunity to enter the social field.
We also developed "Oral Message" and then directly arranged to put it online. This is 365's own mobile instant messaging software.
He also said matter-of-factly: "Even Lin Feng, a boy with no hair, dares to challenge Teng Xun.
Then why don’t we give it a try, it’s not the first time we have fought with Teng Xun, and this time we have the best chance!”
In fact, the reason why Zhou Hongyi went online with "Word of Mouth" was not because of Lin Feng. He is a mature boss and the father of rogue software. This scolding doesn't matter, he won't lose any skin.
He mainly saw what could really defeat Tengxun. Zhou Hongyi knew very well how powerful the instant messaging software was.
One QQ and the other are incompatible, and it can directly defeat all 365 software without any effort. He has experienced it personally, so he hastily followed up!
Ding Lei from NetEase in Guangzhou is also preparing to launch his own mobile instant messaging software "YiXin".
This product is a complete copy of WeChat. Except for the different logo and name, everything else is exactly the same. WeChat can even be seen in some places.
In addition to the above Internet giants, there are many other companies’ mobile instant messaging software that have emerged one after another.
There is even China Mobile’s “Fetion” which has been launched a long time ago. It is a subsidiary of China Mobile.
Li Bing, the person in charge of Fetion, is also a visionary entrepreneur. He also sees the future of mobile instant messaging software.
He is also preparing to re-adjust Fetion's business and add free cross-platform text messaging based on Fetion.
We are even preparing to launch the function of voice text messaging, but this service has not yet been approved by China Mobile, the head office.
The Internet in China has been really busy recently. First there was the "War of Thousands of Groups", then the "War of Three", and now it will be the "Social War".
Fengrui’s WeChat, Xiaomi’s Mi Chat, and Tencent’s WeChat;
There are also Alibaba's contacts, NetEase's YiXin, 365's Komessage, and China Mobile's Fetion. The FeLiao business has been updated.
There are even many emerging companies, all of which are "Xins" who are not afraid of death, such as Hexin, Gexin, Lianxin, Youxin, Jiaxin, Guanxin, Wangxin, etc.
Everyone has seen that in the field of mobile instant messaging, everyone wants a piece of the pie. It seems that apart from "belief", in short, there are all kinds of "faith"!
In the social field: the battle of hundreds of "trusts" is about to begin!
This is the first time that the social field of the Internet has been so lively. Tencent has always entered other fields. This is the first time that so many companies have dared to enter its social field.
This made the old Marijuana Hua Teng, who was in the social world, very embarrassed, but he did not sit still and wait for death. He has been working hard.
He is even planning to dig WeChat and other "letters" into the grave at once!
…
Therefore, some people are optimistic about WeChat, and some are not optimistic about WeChat.
But this is no longer like before. Basically no one is optimistic about WeChat, a small mobile chat software. At least many people have seen the value of WeChat.
Now Fengrui is indeed not short of money, but for the better development of Fengrui Technology in the future, Lin Feng also chose to raise funds.
After multiple rounds of negotiations, Fengrui Technology also completed its first round of financing, with a financing capital of US$100 million and a financing share of 10%.
Of course, such a large amount of funds can only be financed by one investment institution. This time, there are mainly three financing institutions.
One is Haiya's investment of 40 million US dollars, which is for Zhang Yiming's sake; the other is Sequoia Capital, whose person in charge is Shen Nanpeng, the number one investor in China. He is very optimistic about WeChat and made the move in advance.
,
There was also 20 million US dollars from a state-owned enterprise investment bank. Lin Feng did not expect that a state-owned enterprise would be so proactive.
In fact, state-owned enterprises have also seen the development of the Internet and want to try investing. Even if they fail, it is still an innovation.
With Fengrui's matter settled, Lin Feng focused more on movies.
