In Hangzhou, the weather is turning cooler at this time, with continuous rain and dark clouds like ink staining the sky, which cannot be shaken off or erased.
"Stop the approval process? How dare he!"
Lu Yun sat in the car, his eyes widened.
"Lu Fei calls on the relevant departments to temporarily suspend the approval of Yipay's license." Cai Chongxin didn't know whether to be happy or angry, "As you know, now is the public notice period, during which reporting is allowed, and the privatization of Yipay is
The sentiment is clear, it is very possible, it is very likely that the license will be easily paid..."
"What qualifications does Lu Fei have!"
Lu Yun said angrily: "Who does he think he is? He is not the leader of the relevant department. If he says to suspend, he will suspend it?"
"The problem is he's not the only one."
"What's the meaning?"
"Due to the privatization of Yipay, the stock price of Chinese concept stocks has fallen, which has also affected Huaxia Company, which is planning to go public in the United States. Now Lu Fei is taking the lead, and many business people have publicly supported his approach and requested the suspension of Yipay's license approval."
Cai Chongxin rolled his eyes. Mr. Lu is now the leader of the Chinese business community. He raised his arms and, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people, could at least get hundreds of well-known companies to sign a letter. How can you resist?
"Lu Fei is going to kill them all!"
"This bastard must be afraid that after I make Yipay independent, it will compete with Penguin Pay and Caifubao."
"Haha, he thought he could drive me away by finding a bunch of people!" Lu Yun's face was twisted and twisted, extremely ugly.
"The key is not only the license, Lu Fei also took the lead and refused to allow Yipay to access any platform under his name. Companies such as NetEase, New Wolf, Shanda, and Baidu should also follow suit. Through Yipay, they are all squeezing out and isolating
Easy to pay.”
Cai Chongxin was helpless: "What do you think this is?"
"What did you say?!"
Lu Yun was stunned and his face was ashen.
In comparison, the delay in issuing licenses is a minor matter.
After all, delayed issuance does not mean that it will not be issued, and it will be issued sooner or later. However, without cooperative platforms and companies, even if Yipay becomes independent, even if it obtains a license, it is like a fish out of water, unable to survive at all, although there is Ali Baba.
Full platform, supported by several Dangdang websites.
But with this size, it can be the third largest payment platform in the country at most. It wants to compete with Penguin Pay and Caifubao for hegemony——
Almost impossible!
"Then what can we do? In the current situation, we are passive. Not to mention Yahoo and SoftBank, many people within the company also have complaints about the privatization of Easy Pay."
Cai Chongxin said quietly.
"That's because their vision is too short-sighted. When Yipay develops, everything will be fine."
Lu Yun's mind was full of confusion and he stopped the topic, "Don't worry about Yipay now, there must be room for mediation. Let's meet with Son first and win his vote is the most important thing at the moment, otherwise
, the board of directors, we are destined to lose."
The car drove all the way to the hotel where Son Zhengyi was staying.
When the knocks on the door came one after another, Sun Zhengyi opened the door. When he saw Lu Yun and Cai Chongxin, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said gloomily: "Come in."
"Sun, we are here this time..."
Lu Yun took a deep breath.
Before he finished speaking, Sun Zhengyi interrupted directly and said: "You asked me to meet, do you want me to continue to support you on the board of directors?"
"Well, our main purpose on this trip is to send you the list and information of CEO candidates. We all hope to select someone who can lead Ali Baba out of the predicament and catch up with Feigou, right?" Lu Yun said.
"Of course, I hope SoftBank will be as **** as before this time," he said.
"Haha, Jack, do you still need my support? You privatized Yipay without telling the board of directors. Why don't you just make the decision this time and go beyond the board of directors to promote your own person as CEO? Why are you suddenly talking about procedural justice now?"
Son Zhengyi looked at him coldly.
Cai Chongxin sighed and was waiting for Lu Yun's next move. Unexpectedly, he stood up quickly and neatly, bowed at 90 degrees, and said in Chinese:
"Sun, red bean paste, you Marseille!"
Sun Zhengyi was confused. He didn't expect that Lu Yun was well versed in Neon's way of apologizing. There was nothing that couldn't be solved by bowing.
Cai Chongxin was also startled. He didn't expect that his friend who would not surrender or bow in the face of Mr. Lu's various suppressions would actually "kneel down" to Sun Zhengyi for the first time. Wasn't it true that the promised man had gold at his knees?
"Jack, you really went too far this time!"
"Sni Marseille."
Lu Yun knew very well that problems could not be solved without bowing, so he did not waste any words and kept apologizing.
Son was furious and said, "Obviously I agreed with you before and supported you in making Yipay independent as long as the '619' achieved good results. But what's the result? Did you fail to live up to your expectations and fail to complete the KPI!"
Looking at the silent Lu Yun, "You still want Yipay to obtain a license in the future. Have I come up with a compromise for you, using a VIE structure. This will be good for you and Ahri.
It’s good for us, why don’t you agree!”
"Because according to regulations, a company must be 100% domestically owned. Whether it is 70% or 80%, if it is less than 1%, it is impossible to apply for a license." Lu Yun explained.
"Haha, is Penguin just 100%?"
Son Zhengyi sneered: "Jack, don't think that I don't know. You just don't want to give up your interests. You clearly know that as long as you are willing to give us some easily paid shares, we have no reason to refuse independence, but I have no reason to do so."
To think that you are so stingy that you are not even willing to give us a cent!"
"Sun, things are not what you think."
Just as Cai Chongxin was about to open his mouth to defend him, Son Zhengyi shouted "No need to explain", and then started to cover his face and output.
Facing his angry scolding, Lu Yun and Cai Chongxin looked at each other. Lu Yun could only maintain a bowing posture and muttered repeatedly:
Red Bean Puree Sneem Masai.
Sun Zhengyi saw that he was so shameless and had the face of a Neon man, and he had no choice but to do so: "Now Yahoo has brought the Yi Pay matter to the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States and released a detailed report on its operating performance. If you want to solve it, there is only one way.
It means compensating us, such as paying a one-time cash return to Ali Baba Group when Yipay goes public in the future, so that we can also get the share we deserve."
"This...this...let's go back and think about it."
Lu Yun laughed aloud, and then brought the topic to the list of CEO candidates. Those on them are all core members of Lu Yun's team. No matter which one of them becomes the CEO, Ah Li's surname will still be Lu, and his name will still be his.
"I've seen it, and I think these people are just like the Wei Zhe you recommended before. They are useless."
Son Zhengyi smiled and said: "Well, I think of a person who is very capable and can also be recognized by Yahoo. In such a turbulent period as Ali, I believe he can stabilize the situation."
"who?"
Lu Yun had an unknown premonition in his heart.
"Sun Tongyu."
Son Zhengyi blurted out without thinking.
"Sun Tongyu? Sun Tongyu! Sun Tongyu!!"
Lu Yun's pupils dilated, OK, wait for me here!
At the same time, blue waves rippled in the reservoir on the outskirts of Beijing.
Wang Ben put down a pile of fishing "stationery" and saw Lu Fei and Sun Tongyu shaking hands, "Mr. Sun, long time no see."
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
Sun Tongyu was happy, "You asked me to go fishing, I'll be here right away." He scanned around and there was even a helmet next to the pony tie, "It is said in the circle that Mr. Lu likes fishing, and it turns out that
Not fake."
"Fishing is a rare leisure activity for me. As long as I fish, I can quickly relax myself. All things and worries will be forgotten. I can only think about fishing." Lu Fei began to prepare bait for the fish.
Preparing for nesting.
"Mr. Lu's words make sense."
Sun Tongyu gave a thumbs up.
"Come and try, the silver carp and bighead carp here are very big."
Lu Fei smiled.
"Haha, it's an honor for me to be fishing friends with Mr. Lu. I will definitely enjoy it." Sun Tongyu replied.
"After fighting for such a long time, you shouldn't just enjoy yourself. If the overt and covert fighting between Ahri and Feigou can come to an end, I think I will have more time to fish."
Lu Fei looked sideways.
"Mr. Cai has told me that you have reached a gentleman's agreement with him. As long as Mr. Cai becomes the chairman of the board of directors and I become the CEO, in principle, I have no objections, except for some details that need to be discussed." Sun Tongyu
His eyes sparkled, "But I have one more unkind favor."
"Just say it." Lu Fei said.
"It's easy to pay." Sun Tongyu said straightforwardly.
"Does Mr. Sun want to intercede on behalf of Lu Yun and Yi Pay?"
Lu Fei shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't agree to this. Lu Yun has really gone too far in this matter. It's all for his own personal gain and to harm other innocent Chinese companies."
"Pray for him? That's wrong, Mr. Lu. I don't think what you said is wrong. I just think what you did is not good enough. You must teach Lu Yun and Yi Pay a lesson!"
Sun Tongyu had a gloomy face, "I think it won't be difficult to deal with Yipay with the Penguin Pay and Caifubao in Mr. Lu's hands, right?"
"Mr. Sun hates Lu Yun more than I thought."
Lu Fei couldn't help but sigh.
"Yu Zi, he tried to burn bridges by trying to find a weakling Wei Zhe to take my place, kicked me out, and almost caused me to divorce my wife Peng Lei!"
"Yu Gong, I am also a small shareholder of Ali. The privatization of Yipay infringes on my interests. And as the future CEO, I must do anything to protect the interests of the group, Yahoo, SoftBank and other major shareholders."
Punch hard."
Sun Tongyu's face was serious.
"Understand, understand."
Lu Fei absentmindedly threw bait into the water.
"So Mr. Lu doesn't need to use any provocation and alienation tactics. The day I am the CEO of Ali, I will be at odds with Lu Yun. This is not only what Mr. Lu wants to see, but also what Mr. Cai, Yahoo and SoftBank want to see.
"You see, Ah Li is definitely not Lu Yun's one-sided brother." Sun Tongyu vowed, "So I must completely resolve this trouble with Yi Pay!"
"It's like a thorn to be pulled out, right?"
Lu Fei shaped the bait into a ball shape and placed it on the fishhook.
"It's a very good metaphor. What do you think, Mr. Lu? After all, Ahri's confrontation with Yi Pay is tantamount to making the conflict public. It's really embarrassing for outsiders to see the internal fighting, and it's not conducive to unity."
Sun Tongyu swung his pole out and fished absentmindedly.
"The general manager of Yipay is your wife. Mr. Sun is not afraid that your wife will... Or is Mr. Sun planning to destroy the family out of righteousness?"
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth raised slightly.
"Don't be afraid!"
Sun Tongyu said: "I will ask Peng Lei to resign from the position of general manager, and then return to Ahli Baba to help me."
"Since you have no problem, what's the problem with me? I agreed. We had to deal with Yipay because he committed a foul and will be punished for the foul."
Lu Fei's tone was serious. Since Caifuba absorbed MoneyGram, got Xiangjiang's Octopus, backed by the four major banks, and is a fixed payment channel bound to Android, it has surpassed Paypal and become the world's number one online payment channel.
Go to the payment platform.
It can be said that if a steel coin falls from the sky, it may be someone named Lu! What level of Yipay is worthy of competing with Caifubao?
"I wonder how Mr. Lu plans to deal with Yipay?"
Sun Tongyu's eyes were full of expectation.
"It's inconvenient to disclose this."
Lu Fei showed a mysterious smile.
How to deal with it? Of course it’s a red envelope!
You must know that in the past life, facing Alipay's first-mover advantage, Penguin relied on WeChat red envelopes to open up a big hole.
WeChat Pay became popular overnight and caught Alipay by surprise. The launch of WeChat red envelopes during the Spring Festival was comparable to the "Pearl Harbor sneak attack", and it was only then that the world was divided into two parts.
After all, there is no reason not to give out red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.
As soon as the Spring Festival comes, red envelopes need to be sent, whether it is WeChat red envelopes or Caifubao red envelopes, we can combine online payment with the festival culture of Spring Festival red envelopes, using the words of red envelopes, the symbols of red envelopes and the ceremony of sending red envelopes.
Promotion payment.
The reason why we didn’t do it in the past is that firstly, the technology is not mature enough, secondly, the temporary licenses are only Penguin and Caifubao, and there are no competitors at all, and thirdly, the user base of computers and mobile phones is too small.
But now, with computers entering cities, home appliances going to rural areas, and smartphones becoming popular, the online payment market is getting bigger and bigger.
It's time, it's Mr. Lu's turn to harvest.
At this moment, the cell phone rang at an inappropriate time.
Sun Tongyu looked apologetic, "Sorry, Mr. Lu, the board meeting over there has started."
"It's okay, just wait for the results while fishing."
Lu Fei turned his attention to the floating buoy.
On the other end of the phone, Cai Chongxin was sitting in the conference room, and Lu Yun, the chairman of the board of directors, was sitting in the chief chair.
At this time, the atmosphere was solemn and the needle could be heard in the venue. Only the host's voice was singing votes. When the voting results of the motion "Election of Ali Baba's new CEO" were announced,
With only the sound of the office wall clock in his ears, Cai Chongxin's eyes were wandering, but he secretly looked at Lu Yun's expression next to him.
"Jiang Fang, 2 votes."
Lu Yun's heart trembled, and he clenched and released his hands.
"Sun Tongyu, 3 votes!"
When the reading was finished, Lu Yun clenched the pen in his hand so tightly that his fingers turned white. Sitting in front of him were Masayoshi Son and representatives of Yahoo, looking at him with gloating eyes.
It's over, it's all over!
Sun Tongyu actually came back!
"Yes! Yes!"
When Sun Tongyu received the news, she obviously didn't catch a fish, but she was so excited that she waved her hands in the air as if she had caught a big fish.
"Congratulations, Mr. Sun."
Lu Fei laughed and stretched out his hand.
"Mr. Lu, I promise that during my tenure as CEO, I will maintain a normal competitive relationship with Feigou."
Sun Tongyu shook hands, and the grass behind him swayed in the wind.
"That's just right. Let us value peace."
Lu Fei was smiling, with a towering mountain behind him.
