Business negotiations, especially those involving financing and shareholding, have already entered an open and covert battle from the first moment their eyes met between the decision-makers of both parties.
After all, in the subsequent negotiations, any percentage of equity proportion and investment amount will be sky-high. This is not a business worth tens or hundreds of dollars, it can easily cost tens of millions.
Even among large mergers and acquisitions, there have been mega mergers worth tens of billions of dollars.
So you must not be careless.
Li Jin suppressed Ma Taoyun's aura from the beginning, which was a good sign.
The subsequent review of the entire company's evaluation report also made Li Jin understand that the inertia of history still exists, at least for Ma Taoyun and Ali Company, nothing has changed.
Today, Ma Taoyun is still pursuing his dream of serving small and medium-sized enterprises and building an integrated website for raw material procurement with the goal of globalization.
“My 188 website is mainly to build a wholesale base that exists on the Internet. Here, all merchants around the world can put their products on it, and other companies and merchants can purchase them directly according to their own needs.
Or sell your own products!”
"Such a project solves the pain points of all small and medium-sized enterprises that find it difficult to find raw materials and sell goods. This is definitely welcomed by the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises."
"In fact, our website currently has 800,000 members, and by the end of the year, it will reach 1 million."
Listening to Ma Taoyun's speech, Li Jin nodded.
Indeed, historically, 188 did reach 1 million members later this year.
But, so what?
History will eventually prove that 188 has its natural disadvantages.
"What you mean is that large enterprises have their own reputation and fixed sales channels, so they don't need to worry about these, but small and medium-sized enterprises have real difficulties in this regard, and what you have to do is to build an information platform to let everyone
Share data openly and everyone gets what they need.”
Hearing Li Jin's words, Ma Taoyun said excitedly: "Yes, that's it. Mr. Li is indeed a sensible person. You will know what I mean as soon as I say it."
With a chuckle, Li Jin put down the document, took a sip from the tea cup, and said: "Mr. Ma, let me not talk about the problems with your website itself first. Let me ask you first. Do you know that I own two national companies, Xinlang and Tengxun?"
The largest Internet company?”
Ma Taoyun nodded and said: "I know, Mr. Li is already the number one person in the domestic Internet industry, so I came to you."
"Thank you, Mr. Ma, for the commendation, but there are many capable people in the country, and no matter how courageous or arrogant I am, I still can't recognize this so-called number one person."
Li Jin smiled and said, "What I mean is, Mr. Ma, do you think that if I let Xinlang or Tengxun, or any other company, build an identical website tomorrow, how many days can 188 last without collapse?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Ma Taoyun and Cai Chongnian changed drastically at the same time.
New Wolf controls the entrance to domestic online games and portals, while Tengxun is even more exaggerated, with millions of email users and tens of millions of social users.
Even Ma Taoyun and Cai Chongnian themselves are users of Tengxun.
If these two companies copy 188's model, there is no doubt that 188 will not be able to last three months.
After all, the size difference between them is so huge that there is no comparison.
