"This business is like conquering the world. You must have a solid base now." Jiang Hua asked with a smile: "You have a solid base. Where is your base?"
Jack Ma opened his mouth and wanted to say, my base is within our country, but he soon hesitated because his base is not yet stable.
"You have to know that in the future, your family will not be the only one doing e-commerce in China." Jiang Hua knocked on the table and said, "With a population of 1.2 billion, do you know what it represents? The largest market in the world will be in China in the future.
There are many e-commerce companies. You are the one with the most hope of becoming bigger among them, so you should take advantage of this market first and then think about overseas markets."
Jackma asked in confusion: "Why didn't you mention eBay at all? You only talked about the domestic e-commerce companies in the future. Are my opponents only domestic e-commerce companies?"
"Sooner or later eBay will withdraw from the Chinese market because they are not accustomed to the local environment."
"Melo Whitman is a very capable woman." Jack Ma said with a sad face: "He once served as the vice president of Procter & Gamble and Disney. Since he also served as the president of eBay, eBay's development has been one step at a time."
Jiang Hua smiled and spread his hands: "She is indeed a very skillful woman, but it is a pity that she is not a flower grower. She does not understand the market of flower growers, let alone the humanities and sophistication of flower growers. She does business here and does not understand ours."
Thinking logically, do you think it can still succeed?"
Jack Ma nodded thoughtfully: "According to your logic, eBay is indeed not my opponent."
"Taobao only lacks an opportunity now to make people believe that online shopping is not a scam and that the things they buy are genuine." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "As long as such an opportunity exists, Taobao can be a hit."
And red.”
"I think so too."
Jiang Hua thought for a while and said: "I have also used Taobao. Let me give you a few opinions. First, registration is too cumbersome. One user name can be used all over the world. Don't use those messy things. Second, payment is too cumbersome. You guys
I have to find a way to talk to the bank. When I used Taobao, I felt that the payment process was too complicated. An effective, safe and simple payment process is a top priority."
Jack Ma nodded happily: "Yes, I think so too, but you also know the banks, it is very difficult to negotiate cooperation with them."
Jiang Hua thought: "I have shares in Shanghai Pudong Development Bank. Why don't you go talk to this bank? For my sake, at least they won't make things difficult for you."
Jack Ma was stunned, and after a while he recovered and asked excitedly: "Boss Jiang, you are serious about what you said. If we can really negotiate, it will be very beneficial to the development of Taobao."
"I own 25% of the shares." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "I will tell the person in charge over there later that when you talk to them, try to be prepared first."
Jack Ma nodded: "Don't notify the bank yet, let us make a complete set of plans first, and then we can come to talk to them when it is flawless. We can't let others pick on us."
"No problem, I'll wait for your call."
At this time, Cai Chongxin came back and said with a smile: "The representative of Goldman Sachs will be here in an hour. I just heard you guys talking very lively outside. What are you talking about?"
"Boss Jiang owns shares of Pudong Development Bank."
As soon as Cai Chongxin sat down, he jumped up from his chair: "So we can simplify our payment procedures."
Jack Ma said calmly at this moment: "We can't be too anxious. First we have to prepare ourselves so that others can't find fault."
Cai Chongxin nodded excitedly: "Yes, I will make a plan as soon as possible, and then we will work together to achieve perfection."
The three of them chatted and laughed for a while. Cai Chongxin was indeed a great person and could always draw inferences from what Jiang Hua and Jack Ma said.
The investment representative from Goldman Sachs was led into the conference room, sat across from the three of them, and said with a smile: "Jack Ma, Chongxin, you invited me here again today, what are you doing?"
"I invited you here. I wanted to mock you, Goldman Sachs." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "How come Goldman Sachs has become so stingy in our country?"
"Who is this?" The representative of Goldman Sachs looked at Jiang Hua, and then suddenly realized: "Jiang Hua, Mr. Jiang, right? I have admired him for a long time."
"Know me."
The representative of Goldman Sachs smiled and said: "After reading your interview, I heard that you have some friendship with our boss."
"He definitely didn't say anything good about me. I was the one who asked Yahoo to cut off his first round of investment." Jiang Hua said with a smile, "I'm afraid I have to gnash my teeth every time he talks about it."
"Not only Yahoo, but also icq." The representative said with a smile: "He said that in your first round of financing, you would rather let Bill and Steve take shares than Goldman Sachs. This is the biggest doubt about Goldman Sachs."
"Any investment fund puts profit first." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "If Goldman Sachs occupies too much on the board of directors, with your power of Goldman Sachs, I will have to think twice before doing anything."
"Then Bill and Steve won't be any hindrance to you?"
Jiang Hua shook his head: "We are old friends, and we have surprisingly similar views on the Internet and computers. This is called heroes' sympathy for each other."
"I will convey your words to our boss. He will definitely be very sad. I didn't expect that in your eyes, he is not a hero."
"In my eyes, he is just a businessman, a profit-seeking businessman." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Otherwise, he wouldn't be so stingy, joining several foundations, and ultimately only investing US$5 million in Taobao."
"Not everyone is as wealthy as Boss Jiang. You gained a lot in Hong Kong in 1998." The Goldman Sachs representative smiled and said, "You don't have to take five million US dollars seriously, but we at Goldman Sachs are right.
Investors are responsible.”
"Do you, Goldman Sachs, also know what I did in Xiangjiang?"
"Quantum Fund also knows about it. Our boss said that every time he mentions you, Soros gnashes his teeth."
Jiang Hua smiled: "Tell your boss to stop Soros from coming to Asia. The people of Asia will want to tear him into pieces."
"I don't dare to say that."
Jiang Hua laughed loudly: "I am now officially informing you that your investment may be corrupted."
"You want to interfere with me again. This is extremely unfair."
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "The main reason is that your price is too low. I have decided to loan them 50 million yuan and pay it back in fifteen years."
