"Jack, Masayoshi Son just called. He is very disappointed with our 619 results and wants to cancel the transaction with us."
Cai Chongxin pushed the door open and said, "It seems that the board of directors will not be on our side this time."
"So what if he agrees, so what if he doesn't agree."
Lu Yun looked pale. 70% of Yipay's equity had been transferred. He originally wanted to use the board of directors to make this transaction visible.
I never expected that it was a smash! It was a smash!
"If you can hide it for a while, how can you hide it for a lifetime? Unless you disclose the information, the company's annual report is all fake!"
Cai Chongxin frowned and frowned.
Lu Yun rolled his eyes, "We can shift the responsibility to the government. The policy stipulates that in order to obtain a payment license, it must be 100% Chinese-owned and no foreign investment is allowed."
"Okay, even if this is a reason, in addition to the problem of easy payment, 619 was overtaken by Meituan, and scandals such as job-related crimes were exposed. Yahoo and SoftBank will definitely challenge the board of directors. How should we respond?
An explanation?"
Cai Chongxin sighed.
"How to explain? Investigate, compensate, submit to judicial authorities, we are already trying our best to restore the company's image."
Lu Yun was recovering from a serious illness, but his heart ached again.
"Do you think you can shut them up?"
Cai Chongxin shook his head and laughed: "Currently, there are 1,291 companies involved in the investigation and evidence collection. This is only the data from last year. Counting this year, I am afraid there are more than 2,500 companies. With so many, if we don't pay some price, will the outside world be satisfied? Will Yahoo and SoftBank give up? Lu Fei
Will the Internet media they control let us go?"
"Wei Zhe! Everything is Wei Zhe's fault! I gave him control of a good Ah Li, and he managed it like this! Wei Zhe is incompetent, it seems I must come out again."
Lu Yun was furious and quickly drank some water.
"Now we must come up with a foolproof solution, otherwise, Yahoo's board of directors will definitely embarrass us."
"What do you think?"
"Someone needs to stand up and take responsibility for this series of things. Since Wei Zhe is the CEO, he should take the responsibility."
"No, absolutely not. If he is given the blame, he will definitely take the blame and resign." Lu Yun muttered, "It's up to me. I'm the chairman of the board of directors. I'm the only one who can afford it. Anyway, our agreement with Yahoo has not been reached.
During this period, they have no power to remove me from office."
Cai Chongxin was very helpless and couldn't help but miss: "If the current CEO was still Sun Yutong, the three of us..."
"Chongxin, he is the founder of Ahri, but he is no longer from Ahri!"
Lu Yun crossed the river and demolished the bridge and cleared Sun Yutong out with his own hands. How could he invite her back again? Isn't this a slap in the face?
Those in power can make mistakes, but they can never admit their mistakes!
"Alas~"
Cai Chongxin shook his head and laughed, and called Wei Zhe to the office to discuss how to deal with the board of directors.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhe ran in in a hurry, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Cai, it's bad, something big has happened!"
"What's wrong!" Lu Yun's face was filled with anger.
Cai Chongxin was excited, "Is it B2B..."
"This time it's not B2B, it's logistics! It's Xingchen Express!"
Wei Zhe was afraid that he could not explain clearly, so he ran to the computer to retrieve the news.
Cai Chongxin and Lu Yun looked at each other nervously.
Xingchen Express is a vital part of Ahri’s strategy.
Whether it is Tmall vs. Biao Jingdong or Taoduoduo vs. Biaofeigou.com, the most important thing is logistics. Xingchenjian’s cloud logistics is the big killer in the future, and it is even related to Yipay.
Xingchenji can support cash on delivery, and offline POS machines can bypass Tenpay and Penguin Pay. Little by little, we can get rid of Mr. Lu's payment system, and Yipay can be independent.
“Many franchisees collectively blocked the company and demanded that Xingchenjibian refund the franchise fee and fines!”
When Wei Zhe opened the webpage, he saw that the entry for Xingchen Urgency was on Sogou's 24-hour hotspot, and then on Weibo, it was also ranked second on the hot search list, with a strong tendency to rise to the first place.
I saw pictures one after another, all of them were excited franchisees, all dressed in the same uniform. The words "Xingchen Express Franchisees, abide by the law and protect rights" were printed in white on the red T-shirts. In the middle was a big "miserable" or "pit"
"Words, in addition to pictures, there are also videos.
"Repay me my hard-earned money!"
"A shady businessman will not refund the franchise fee!"
Amid the shouts of the crowd, the reporter interviewed one of the franchisees. He broke down in tears and said that he had joined for 3 months, paid a deposit of 15,000, and the franchise fee was 2,000 a year. He wanted to rely on the reputation of Xingchen and Ali.
I made a lot of money with my account, but I didn’t expect that it took only two or three days for five or six pieces of goods to arrive, and they were sent using other companies’ express vehicles.
Not only did I not make any money, I couldn't even get my capital back. I could only do Kuaima Logistics and provide three services and one service. As a result, I was randomly inspected by Xingchen Express and fined. How can this be justified?
"Xingchenji simply wants us to die!"
"It's over, it's over. Xingchen Express is a fraudulent company that defrauds franchisees!"
"Xingchenji is worthy of us!"
"rnm, refund the money! refund the money!
"…………"
In the video, the crowd was furious.
In the comment area, public opinion was boiling.
【Xingchen Jie is a big trap as soon as you hear it】
[Xingchen Jitong relies on the answer. I used Xingchen Jitong once and vowed that I will never use this garbage in my life]
[Zhongtong pays five insurances and one fund for couriers, Meituan provides traffic accident insurance to delivery boys, and is considering formulating pension insurance and medical insurance for full-time employees. Xingchen Express only provides routines to franchisees, which is worthy of Ah
Li's designated logistics platform]
[Ali is an accomplice, helping the tyrants to commit evil]
"how so!"
Lu Yun's eyes widened in disbelief.
"It's bad, it's bad, the Xingchen emergency crisis is starting to affect us." Cai Chongxin was excited, "There is already a kind of populist emotional catharsis on Weibo. We can no longer allow this situation to spread! This will have serious consequences.
of!"
“Is it more serious than B2B business?”
Wei Zhe swallowed.
"What do you think? Call Xingchen Emergency Department immediately."
Lu Yun opened the drawer and took out the quick-acting Jiuxin Pill.
"Already, already beaten."
Wei Zhe had already contacted the people at Xingchen Jiben. In addition to having a complete falling out with the franchisees, many e-commerce websites and companies whose products had been privately deducted from the franchisees were formally sued in court.
Xingchen Urgent Cases have piled up more than one meter high.
"How could it be such a coincidence? We just had an accident and the logistics had another problem." Lu Yun frowned.
"Now is not the time to think about that, Jack!"
Cai Chongxin was impatient, "This June 19th, the logistics subsidies we gave merchants and users were all from Xingchen. We must appease them immediately. We would rather change the courier company than return the goods. There is also Tmall, which also uses Xingchen."
Chen, it’s best to change it immediately, otherwise if something happens, Tmall’s brand will be ruined!”
"Yes, Mr. Cai is right."
Wei Zhe said: "Now many businesses are calling and asking to change to Kuaishou Alliance's logistics company, and the express delivery subsidy must still be enjoyed, otherwise, otherwise..."
"ah!"
Lu Yun slapped his hand on the table and squeezed out words through his teeth: "Okay, send a notice to all merchants and users."
"Anything else?"
Cai Chongxin saw Wei Zhe motionless.
Wei Zhe nodded, "Xingchen said that this time the losses were huge, and 40 million yuan of goods was illegally detained by the franchisees. I hope we can support them, otherwise it will be over."
"Go tell him, tell them!"
Lu Yun was so angry that he shook his head, "Ali is just their partner and investor. They are not our subsidiary, and we have never allowed them to use the name of Ali Baba's partner to deceive franchisees without authorization. We and Xingchen
I’m in a hurry and I’m not familiar with it.”
"Yes, we are only in a cooperation and investment relationship, both public and private. We, Ahri, are also the injured party. Let the Ministry of Justice send them a lawyer's letter to hold them accountable for infringement of their reputation."
Cai Chongxin's eyes flashed with mirror light.
"Would it hurt them too much?" Wei Zhe asked.
"Is it hurting you?"
Lu Yun picked up the cup on the table and smashed it over.
There was a bang, and Wei Zhe was so frightened that he quickly left the office.
Cai Chongxin panicked and immediately opened the Hong Kong stock market, only to suddenly realize that the market was closed for the weekend and would not open until tomorrow.
In other words, the news that franchisees are making a big fuss about Xingchen Urgent has a whole day to ferment and will soon spread to Xiangjiang.
After the subprime mortgage crisis, Ali finally managed to bring its stock price back to HK$15, but this time, it was a disaster!
Sure enough, it opened on Monday.
Aribaba's stock price is like a floodgate opening, plunging continuously. It's not just a break, but a cliff-like dive.
However, the house leaked and it rained all night.
In logistics, without Xingchen Express, relying solely on Deppon and Home Delivery would not be able to handle tens of millions of e-commerce items. In addition to ZTO, STO, YTO, Huitong, Yunda, SF Express, EMS and other express companies, they all have a tacit understanding of each other.
We will give priority to solving the shortage of express delivery capacity of Feigou, Meituan and Ali, which will completely wipe out the warehouse.
Negative reviews, returns, and abuse all enveloped Ahri.
Accompanied by the company's internal integrity crisis, the logistics platform cooperation crisis, the Liu19 Express warehouse explosion crisis, and the merchant user abandonment crisis, Ali's stock price continued to fall for three days in a row.
Thanks to the support of its peers, Feigou.com’s stock has soared!
With a slight gap, it surpassed Google and temporarily ranked second in the market value of global Internet companies, second only to Penguin, which ranked first.
Some people are happy and some are worried. Ali's stock price fell below 10 Hong Kong dollars. It finally made it to Friday, and it was expected that the market would be closed for adjustments during the weekend. But at this time, another violent news broke.
It is rumored that Luyun is trying to acquire Yahoo’s Ali shares by selling shares in Yipay to banks.
Rumors spread through the grapevine.
Because there have been too many negative news during this period, as well as the long-term credibility crisis, it is better to believe what is true than what is not true.
Shareholders, especially retail investors, were outraged by Ali Baba's plunge and quickly spread online.
All of a sudden, the privatization of Yipay became a hot search topic!
Not surprisingly, it alarmed the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission!
Just before Ali's board meeting, when the Hong Kong stock market was not closed, according to the regulations of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, listed companies were not allowed to release announcements to clarify during the trading period, so Ali watched the stock plummet all the way, but -
—
A mute who eats Coptis chinensis cannot express the pain.
I can only wait until the market is closed in the afternoon before passively posting a short response on Weibo, Facebook, and Line.
Slander! Someone is slandering me!
These days, Lu Yun has been watching it, and he feels more and more that something is wrong, wrong, wrong, not quite right.
Although the changes in the market are irrational and unconventional, they still have a strange sense of familiarity, especially the combination of punches against Ahri...
This boxing technique seems familiar.
"Jack, Masayoshi Son, and Butts all called and questioned the transfer of EasyPay shares, and their words were very harsh."
Cai Chongxin put down his phone and sighed.
"What did you say?"
Lu Yun's heart skipped a beat.
"What else can I say? Of course I'll hide it for you."
Cai Chongxin frowned, "You can't hide it for long. Sun Zhengyi knows that you want to privatize Yipay. This matter will definitely be mentioned in the board of directors. I tell you, it's not too late to stop now. What if?"
If they find out, they will definitely bring trouble to the United States and the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission, and the consequences will be disastrous."
"This, this connection is quite good."
Lu Yun stared at the red stock.
"Yes, it's a coincidence, it's such a coincidence, so many bad things happened to happen around June 19th!"
Cai Chongxin's face was full of tiredness.
"One link after another, this is to put us to death. There is only one person who can and will do such a thing." Lu Yun's eye sockets were burst and covered with bloodshot eyes.
Lu thief, I swear to kill you!
"There are wolves in front of us and tigers in the back. Even if we have to deal with Lu Fei, we have to deal with Yahoo, SoftBank and the board of directors the day after tomorrow. We have to prepare for the worst." Cai Chongxin was worried.
"What to do about internal and external troubles, what to do!"
Lu Yun slumped on the chair, his tone full of weakness.
"We can't continue like this. We have to see Lu Fei! We have to see him once!" Cai Chongxin said firmly.
"Meet Lu Fei, why do you want to see him?"
Lu Yun suddenly thought, "You can't..."
"Yes, just beg him, beg him for mercy, spare us, spare Ali! There are Yahoo, SoftBank inside, and Lu Fei outside. We can't withstand these two pressures at all. We can only make a time difference and solve one first.
, and this is the only way to solve another one."
Cai Chongxin's face was tense.
"Begging him?"
Lu Yun felt a sense of humiliation arise spontaneously.
Damn it! Even if I jump down from this building and Ali Baba goes bankrupt, I won’t beg Lu Fei!
"A man can bend and stretch, now we must buy time for Ahri, otherwise Yahoo and Lu Fei will attack from both front and back. If SoftBank also switches sides, it will be completely passive!" Cai Chongxin advised.
"..."
Lu Yun was silent for a moment, speechless.
"Okay, if you don't go, I will! As the chairman of the board of directors and the host of the board of directors this time, you stay."
Cai Chongxin took the initiative to apply, "As for my position as director, I will entrust someone else to act as my agent. No matter what, even if I don't want to show my face, I will find a way to hold Lu Fei down."
"Chongxin!"
"Jack, stop talking, it's settled!"
"But he, the bastard, may not see you?"
Lu Yun hesitated.
"I'm going to ask IDG's Xiong Xiaoge, Goldman Sachs, and Carlyle to help me and act as a middleman." Cai Chongxin didn't even think about it.
"Okay, Chongxin, we can negotiate, but don't agree to anything. He's a bastard who knows how to talk like a lion!"
Lu Yun gritted his teeth. He remembered the Penguin short squeeze and the black-hearted Lu Fei who cheated Li Zekai's most important company, PCCW.
"I understand, keep in touch at any time."
Cai Chongxin patted his shoulder and set off.
The car rushed to the airport, where the plane was already waiting to take off.
Mr. Lu, all encounters in this world are reunions after a long absence.
I, Cai Chongxin, on behalf of Ah Li, am here to beg you!
I took the car back and went to work tomorrow, so I sent it in advance.
