But this is not over yet. Xia Zekai on the stage also analyzed the current world economic situation.
Everyone is discerning and knows that the current economic recession is going on, especially the business environment in the second half of this year is not very good.
At this time, Xia Zekai said: "When I was chatting with Jack, he once said something that touched me deeply. He told me that the purpose of the Alibaba platform is to make it easy to do business in the world.
.”
"From my own perspective, I don't completely agree with this statement, but this does not prevent me from agreeing with the proportion of online sales in the future global economic development."
"Friends who are watching the live broadcast, let me tell you something. While operating online sales channels, you must also build your own offline channels. Only by combining the two lines can you achieve a more stable and long-term development. Otherwise,
You really can’t go far!”
"Today's business environment is very difficult. Maybe tomorrow's business environment will not change much, but we must believe in ourselves. As long as you persevere in this rough environment, the future will be bright!" Xia Zekai concluded.
After hearing the last words spoken by Xia Zekai on the stage, something came into Lao Ma's mind for some reason.
"Today is cruel, and tomorrow will be cruel, but the future is beautiful!"
After Xia Zekai's statement ended, a reporter from the audience raised his hand to ask a question.
Xia Zekai did not refuse, and raised his hand slightly to signal him.
"Mr. Xia, what is the price of Alibaba's listed shares this time?"
Xia Zekai glanced at him, but couldn't tell which country he was from: "Jack, can I tell?"
Regarding this issue, Xia Zekai discussed it with Lao Ma and he knew it.
After seeing Ma Yun nod, Xia Zekai faced everyone and said with a smile: "The current price is 60 to 66 US dollars."
Just after finishing speaking, many people below were immersed in taking notes. At this time, another person raised his hand: "Dear Mr. Xia, there have been rumors in the capital market that Alibaba's financing this time is more than 20 billion US dollars. Is this rumor true?
"
"Yes!" Xia Zekai nodded crisply.
"Mr. Xia, can Alibaba go public this month?"
"Can!"
"Mr. Xia, what is your shareholding in Alibaba?"
"This is private information and is not convenient to disclose."
"Mr. Xia, after Alibaba Group goes public, how much do you estimate your position on the Forbes rich list will rise?"
"This reporter's question is good. In fact, I really don't know how much money I have now. You need to ask about my finances. Besides, I don't care about this ranking." Xia Zekai said in an understatement.
After he finished speaking, hundreds of people under the stage were stunned.
Even Lao Ma, Cai Chongxin and others were stunned for a moment, never expecting that Xia Zekai would say this.
This time I asked him to pretend again.
The questions that followed became more and more varied, but Xia Zekai always dealt with them with ease. Until the end of the press conference, Lao Ma walked onto the stage, his face full of gratitude, and gave Xia Zekai a hug!
"Thank you!" said the old horse.
"You're welcome. I won't have anything to do from now on. It's up to you." Xia Zekai said.
Lao Ma nodded heavily: "Don't worry!"
Xia Zekai has done everything he can, and the effect of this press conference has exceeded Ma Yun's expectations. He is more confident to face the road show the day after tomorrow.
…
But at this moment, after Xia Zekai's press conference in China, the Internet world was completely detonated.
Everyone discussed several key data mentioned by Xia Zekai in the press conference.
Most people are more concerned about how much wealth there are within Alibaba after Alibaba Group went public.
How many billionaires will Alibaba Group create after it goes public?
How many millionaires?
How many millionaires?
Many people posted comments on the Internet, lamenting why they were not born 20 years earlier, even 10 years ago. As long as they had some funds, they would definitely find a way to invest in Alibaba.
Perhaps they will also have a share in today's division of wealth.
This type of netizens are everywhere on the Internet. It is not surprising to everyone. Many netizens also continued the interview question of a reporter at the press conference. After Alibaba Group goes public, how much can Xia Zekai's personal wealth increase?
When the next round of Forbes Rich List is re-announced, how many places can Xia Zekai advance in the ranking?
What people didn't expect is that compared to Alibaba Group, which is about to go public, more netizens are more curious about Xia Zekai's personal wealth, so that this topic has become a hot topic.
In addition, netizens regarded the few words Xia Zekai said in the interview as chicken soup for the soul, and even used them as a tool to show off.
For example, 'I really don't know how much money I have. I need to ask about my belongings.'
Netizens suddenly realized that after the money reaches a certain level, they don’t even know how much they have.
In addition, everyone has a strong sense of identification with the current social and economic status mentioned by Xia Zekai in his report.
It’s really all about staying alive these days!
There is also the sentence condensed by smart netizens: 'Today is cruel, tomorrow will be cruel, but the future is beautiful.'
Along with Xia Zekai's wonderful speech at this press conference, these golden sentences also spread quickly on the Internet, and many people cited them as wise words.
Really thoughtful people all focus on the examples Xia Zekai cited in his press conference.
Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. uses a two-line combat model that combines online channel sales and offline channel sales. In just a few years, it has rapidly grown from a small company with an annual turnover of 50 million to more than 10 million yuan.
From a turnover of several hundred million to even tens of billions now, the span during this period is eye-catching.
When many business-minded people gave Xia Zekai examples, they thought they had grasped the key points and started discussions about it.
There are also some people who are eager to move and pay attention to what Xia Zekai said, 'The meaning of the Alibaba platform is to make it easy to do business in the world.'
Many people who are depressed in the workplace seem to have seen new signs at this time.
After all, the publicity of online stores has become more and more widespread in recent years, and many people know from the Internet that there are many real cases of people opening online stores to make money.
There are even friends around me who suddenly turn around.
In a word, after the press conference on September 3, many people around the world had sleepless nights.
However, a small number of capital investors are paying attention to a new technology company that is quietly emerging.
That is Xiaoai Technology Co., Ltd.
All other data mentioned by Xia Zekai have basically become a thing of the past, but Xiao Ai’s AI smart speaker is still in hot sales. If you just open Taobao online, you can see at a glance that the sales volume is 1 million+. This cannot fool anyone.
of.
Even though it started pre-sale nearly 20 days in advance, in less than a month's pre-sale period, the overall pre-sale orders exceeded 900,000 and sales reached 600 million, but the production capacity was still limited.
If Xiaoai Technology Co., Ltd. has sufficient production capacity and its channels are expanded, what will its sales volume be?
When thinking about this, more people think about why Xiaoai Technology has insufficient production capacity?
Has it run out of money?
Can I invest in Xiaoai Technology?
Thinking of this, this small group of people couldn't sleep. They didn't even want to make a phone call. They thought they would go directly to Xiaoai Technology Co., Ltd. tomorrow to visit.
Thinking of this, some investors who were relatively far away from the capital simply didn't sleep and rushed to the capital all night long.
They always feel that some of their peers are doing the same thing, and they think they must grab the shares of Xiaoai Technology before them, otherwise it will be too late to regret.
With Xia Zekai's press conference, many things are changing.
But the person involved had no such awareness at all. After the press conference, his work here was basically over.
Xia Zekai no longer needs to visit other capital parties. The remaining work related to the listing of Alibaba Group will be done by Jack Ma and others, while Xia Zekai is busy with his own work.
Liang Kun has already gone to Wal-Mart's headquarters to discuss with Dong Minglun, the head of the headquarters' international business department.
Walmart is headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas, United States.
Although Dong Minglun, the director of the international business department, may have a Chinese name, he is actually an American.
After coming to the United States with his boss on August 28, Liang Kun did not waste time in New York State and came directly to Arkansas.
After meeting with Dong Minglun, the two sides conducted two rounds of consultations in just five days, but no final result was obtained.
Until September 3rd, when Liang Kun came to the Wal-Mart headquarters again to prepare for the third round of negotiations with Dong Minglun, there was a rest room next to the conference room where they were talking. The TV in the rest room was turned on and a live broadcast was being broadcast.
Xia Zekai's press conference.
The negotiations between the two parties had not yet begun. When Liang Kun was drinking coffee in the rest room, he saw the live press conference on TV. At that moment, he was stunned.
He was so absorbed in watching that he didn't feel the arrival of others.
When he heard someone calling him from behind, Liang Kun came to his senses and turned around to see behind him the blond and blue-eyed director of the International Business Department, Dong Minglun.
"Liang, it turns out you also know about this press conference." Dong Minglun poured himself a cup of coffee and sat down in the rest room.
There was no rush to discuss the details, and he was prepared to take a good look at the press conference.
He continued: "This is a feast of capital, but it's a pity that we are not qualified to participate!"
Liang Kun still said nothing, and Dong Minglun said again: "When Alibaba goes public, I will definitely buy its shares. I am very optimistic about Alibaba's operating model."
At this time, Liang Kun pointed at the young man on the TV screen and said: "Dong, this is my boss!"
