Chapter 667 The boss hides so deeply! (5000-character chapter) 950 months
Ma Yun's face almost drooped. He never expected that Xia Zekai would be so shameless. He really dared to speak.
"Ten billions of Vietnamese dong or Zimbabwe?" Jack Ma is not a vegetarian either.
The exchange rate of RMB to Vietnamese Dong just released is that 1 RMB is approximately equal to about 2,900 Vietnamese Dong.
As for the Zimbabwean currency, it doesn’t matter. One dollar used to make you a billionaire, but you still can’t buy a piece of bread.
Hearing Ma Yun's witty words, Cai Chongxin burst out laughing on the spot. This is the old horse he knows, and he can find a solution to the problem at any time.
But Xia Zekai didn't accept this trick. He stared at Ma Yun and uttered three words: "RMB."
Don't even think about the US dollar. If it continues to develop at its current pace, the peak period for travel will be just that.
Seeing that the expression on Xia Zekai's face was serious and not joking, Ma Yun was silent for a while before picking up the wine glass: "Mr. Xia, would you like to have a drink?"
"Fuck!" Xia Zekai was quite happy. He picked up the wine glass and touched it with Ma Yun, then raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.
Xia Zekai's move made Ma Yun dumbfounded.
Lu Huan and Zhang Xu also did their part at this time. Although they were still a little confused and did not understand what the boss just said, it did not prevent them from remembering the boss's order and getting these people drunk.
Lu Huan went directly to Cai Chongxin. Zhang Xu was younger, but the waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead, and he almost convinced Zhang Yong that he couldn't find the east, west, north, and south.
After finishing the glass of wine, Ma Yun was determined not to take the initiative to mention drinking.
But the loser Zhang Xu was very discerning and immediately took the wine bottle and started pouring wine.
In the words of the boss, he must not let the wine glass be empty. Unless the show is over, it will be his responsibility to search and his wages will be deducted.
Zhang Xu now relies on his salary to eat, drink and have fun, and he does not dare to offend Xia Zekai.
Ma Yun brought up the old matter again. This time he spoke directly and did not play any tricks. He said directly: "Mr. Xia, please do me a favor. I really want to contribute to the development of Yitra."
By this time, Ma Yun had made it very clear, and Xia Zekai no longer pretended to be dumbfounded. He asked: "How much do you want to buy, and what price can you offer?"
Lu Huan and Zhang Xu suddenly heard Xia Zekai's tone of voice, and then they seemed to understand something and looked at their boss in disbelief.
Could it be that……
Sure enough, the next moment I heard Ma Yun's hearty laughter, and he said: "Of course, the more, the better."
"Dong Ma's idea is quite beautiful." Xia Zekai refuted him mercilessly, and then asked him: "Tell me what price you can offer?"
At this time, Lu Chen and Zhang Xu looked at each other in tacit understanding, as if they had just realized that they had discovered a big secret of their boss today.
Jack Ma didn't know that Xia Zekai's identity as the "major shareholder of Yixing" had always been a secret. No one in the company knew about it, and very few of his relatives knew about it.
Hearing that Xia Zekai finally felt like relenting, he continued: "Yixing's last round of financing was valued at US$800 million, right?"
Xia Zekai nodded: "Yes, the financing valuation in August was US$800 million, but I can tell Chairman Ma clearly that in the past four months, Yichuang has spent more than 100 million yuan per month. Regardless of the market
The market share, the number of registered online drivers of Yitrip, and the frequency of users using Yitrip have all more than doubled compared to the past.”
Listening to Xia Zekai slowly talking about the various data on travel, Ma Yun's face turned dark. It was obvious that this was lice on his bald head.
Raise price!
The worst thing about this piece of shit is that he explicitly tells you that the comprehensive data of Yi Travel has more than doubled compared to the last financing, which means that the bottom line of this piece of shit will quadruple.
If you want to fool him with a market valuation of US$800 million and buy some shares, forget it.
Jack Ma really doesn't dare to speak. Alibaba's current market value is only about 10 billion US dollars.
Currently, the most valuable Internet company is Tencent, with a closing market value of about US$43 billion. The second-ranked Internet company is Baidu, with a market value of about US$40 billion.
And as the market changes, the two eldest brothers and second brothers are also alternately competing for the position of the eldest and second eldest brother in the market.
With a market capitalization of US$10 billion, Alibaba's listed part currently only ranks third, far behind the eldest and second eldest.
The next fourth place is NetEase and Sina, which are in a state of anxiety with market capitalization of about 6 billion US dollars each. There is no need to forget them later.
There is another problem. Although the market value of Alibaba's listed part is around 10 billion US dollars, that does not mean that Jack Ma can now come up with 10 billion US dollars. He cannot even come up with one-tenth of the cash.
It is unlikely that he will quote a high price.
But Xia Zekai was a very smart person. He rolled his eyes and said, "Dong Ma, if you can quote a high price, I can convince Yiming and Ru Bo to sell it to you for a little more per dollar."
Ma Yun didn't care much at first, but when he heard Xia Zekai say this, he suddenly spread his fingers and said, "I want this number."
"Five percent of the shares?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Seeing Ma Yun nodding, Xia Zekai laughed: "Dr. Ma, you are too greedy. Can you come up with so much money?"
Even based on the last financing valuation, 5% of the shares were valued at US$40 million, which is not a small sum.
Not to mention that Xia Zekai will not sell the shares at the last price.
How smart he is, he will definitely not lose himself.
Ma Yun gritted his teeth and said: "I can't afford so much money, but I can exchange it for shares."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Zekai stopped and said, "Replacement is fine, but I don't want shares in your listed B2B business. I want shares from Taobao Mall or Alipay."
Hearing what Xia Zekai said, Ma Yun couldn't help but look at Xia Zekai again. He knew that the word game he just played was discovered by Xia Zekai, but Xia Zekai's appetite was too big. The main body of Taobao is Taobao Mall, and Alipay
As the lifeblood of Alibaba, it is even more impossible to swap out the shares.
Ma Yun said to him: "Mr. Xia, you have a big appetite and you are not afraid of bursting your belly."
Xia Zekai chuckled: "Don't worry about this, Mr. Ma. Since I dare to take it, I have the stomach to eat it. To be honest, I'm not short of cash."
"Other interviews." Xia Zekai took out his cell phone directly and said, "If you agree, I will call Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo now."
"Otherwise, don't mention this matter. Let's have a casual meal today and make friends. We can help each other if anything happens next time." Xia Zekai began to gather his troops.
If it works, it's okay, if it doesn't, forget it.
Under normal circumstances, Ma Yun would not act impulsively like a child, but after being captured by General Xia Zekai, he was still a little impulsive and thought of agreeing.
Tsai Chongxin pulled his sleeve in time, picked up the teapot, poured him a glass of water, and said, "Jack, drink some water first to moisten your throat."
Ma Yun glanced at him. He knew what Cai Chongxin meant and asked him to drink a glass of water to calm down and not make a regretful decision.
…
The six of them ate until about two o'clock in the afternoon. Ma Yun, Cai Chongxin and the others went back to their rooms to rest, while Xia Zekai took Lu Huan and Zhang Xu out of Qicheng Hotel.
At the door of the hotel, Lu Hao lit three cigarettes and handed them to Xia Zekai and Zhang Xu respectively: "Boss, Xiao Zhang, take a puff."
Xia Zekai rarely smoked, but today he still took it. He took a big puff and looked at a row of two-story buildings not far to the west. The door sign on the lower floor said 'Feitian Internet Cafe', and there was another one next door.
There is a signboard with a picture of billiards on it.
Speaking of which, since graduating from school, he has never been to an Internet cafe or played billiards.
I am so busy on weekdays that I have no time for myself.
But when Xia Zekai was in school, he still liked to go to the billiard hall and shoot a few sticks when he had nothing to do.
He took two more puffs on the cigarette and watched as the cigarette end turned into a bright red light and quickly burned out. The cylindrical cigarette ash lost its support and was blown by a gust of cold wind, breaking and falling to the ground.
He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and kicked it hard: "Lao Lu, Xiao Zhang, I invite you to play billiards. Do you know how to play?"
"-_-||" Lu Chen and Zhang Xu didn't know what to say about this.
Zhang Xu said: "Boss, my skills are average!"
"I don't know how to fight," Lu Chen said.
But when the boss invites me, even if I don’t know how to play, I still have to go and play with him.
Zhang Xu, who was more lively, couldn't hold it in any longer and suddenly asked: "Boss, can I ask you something?"
"Say!" Xia Zekai was quite happy.
Zhang Xu thought for a long time, then pointed to the hotel behind him and said, "Well, when we were in the hotel just now, was what Director Ma said true or false?"
Xia Zekai looked back at him a little funny and asked, "Do you really want to know?"
Zhang Xu's eyes told Xia Zekai that he really wanted to know.
This result surprised him so much that he had never expected it to happen.
The nationally popular ‘Yi Chuxing’ driving platform actually has something to do with its boss!
The more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes.
Xia Zekai didn't care much about confidentiality. He said: "I am the major shareholder of Yixing."
"..." Next to him, Lu Huan had the same thirst for knowledge as Zhang Xu. He also wanted to know the answer, but after hearing the answer from Xia Zekai, they both fell silent.
Although there is only one word difference between shareholder and major shareholder, the difference is huge.
This result is so shocking.
Xia Zekai added lightly: "It's enough for you two to know, and don't tell anyone else."
"Don't worry, boss!" Lu Huan said without any unnecessary nonsense.
Zhang Xu also nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely not tell anyone else, not even my brother."
After listening to their assurances, Xia Zekai shook his head and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I just go out. I just don't like the excitement."
Lu Chen and Zhang Xu believed in what he said.
If Xia Zekai's identity as the 'major shareholder of Yixing' is exposed, then he will really not be able to calm down anymore.
Xia Zekai took the lead and walked towards the Internet cafe and billiard hall. He turned back and shouted: "Let's go and play ball."
Zhang Xu and Lu Chen quickly followed.
The Internet cafe and billiards hall are opened by the same owner. Because they are close to the high-consumption area of Qicheng Hotel, they are positioned as high-end, pay attention to the elegant environment, and follow the high-consumption route.
In Internet cafes, which generally cost one, five to two yuan an hour, and billiard halls, which cost two or three yuan an hour, Feitian has already mentioned Internet fees of 10 yuan an hour and 15 yuan an hour.
The difference in billiard table fees suddenly widened.
But consumers also recognize this weird consumption, and they are willing to pay for it.
Xia Zekai threw over fifty yuan, told the cashier inside to play pool for two hours, and got three bottles of drinks.
The cashier gave him eleven dollars in change.
Lu Chen has never played this thing before. He is a complete novice. Zhang Xu was really modest when he said that his skills were not good.
This kid's shot was very unprofessional. He missed the ball that could have gone in, and he also left the white ball in place for the next shot.
This resulted in a strange phenomenon. When it was Xia Zekai's turn to play, he would often see a few of his own balls placed in particularly good positions, not to mention the holes and white balls, in a straight line, but as long as his skills were not good
It's too bad, it can be beaten in.
After playing several times, Xia Zekai could tell that Zhang Xu was a master at playing table tennis. He threw the cue directly to Lu Chen: "Old Lu, I'll take a break first, and you can play with him."
Zhang Xu smiled sheepishly when he saw his boss like this.
Lu Chen was really new to table tennis and didn't know anything about it. He hadn't seen the mystery of the previous games at all.
After taking the cue from the boss, he happily went up.
When teeing off, Lu Huan hit the first shot.
There was a crashing sound, and the white ball hit the flower balls arranged in a triangle. With one move, the goddess scattered the flowers, and all the flower balls were scattered, and none of them got in.
But then when it was Zhang Xu's turn, there was nothing more.
With a few clicks, Zhang Xu cleared all the big balls and black balls with one stroke.
A standard one-shot clean, leaving no face for Lu Huan.
"Fuck you!"
Lu Chen doesn’t know how to play ball, but he’s not a bad person. Looking at this, I still don’t know what’s going on?
Xia Zekai, who was sitting next to him, gave Zhang Xu a thumbs up.
"Xiao Zhang, I really despise you!" Xia Zekai said.
This made Zhang Xu and Lu Chen burst into laughter, and people at the tables next to them couldn't help but look over after hearing their laughter.
Zhang Xu was a different player in fancy nine-ball. Xia Zekai and Lu Huan no longer played with him. However, Xia Zekai and Lu Huan played a few games, and then they finally experienced a little bit of the fun of playing table tennis.
…
Qicheng Hotel, in Ma Yun's room.
After watching Xia Zekai and the others go downstairs, Ma Yun and the other three returned to the room, followed by Cai Chongxin and Zhang Yong.
After closing the door, Ma Yun went to wash his face with cold water. After wiping his face, he said to Cai Chongxin and Zhang Yong: "Chongxin, Daniel, please write down one thing first. When you get back, let the technical department work hard on Taobao."
Mobile version, the faster the better, remember!”
Tsai Chongxin and Zhang Yong did not expect that Jack Ma would take this matter so seriously, or in other words, he would take Xia Zekai, who proposed this concept, more seriously.
Sure enough, then I heard Jack Ma say: "I have to find a way to invest in stocks and travel."
"But we don't have that much money now." Cai Chongxin said bluntly.
Alibaba Group is now in full development. It includes Alibaba's B2B business, which has been separately divested and listed. The remaining projects are Taobao Mall, Alipay, 1688, Alibaba Cloud, Alibaba Software, Alimama and other projects that have not yet been listed. These major projects require money.
, under such circumstances, it is necessary to spend a large amount of money to acquire shares of Yixing. This is a very heavy burden for the Alibaba Group. From the perspective of development direction, it is really not cost-effective.
Jack Ma also knew about this. He sighed and said, "This is a strategy!"
"But all aspects of Alibaba Group have great potential, especially the Taobao Mall and Alipay he mentioned. Now if we exchange our shares with him, we will suffer a great loss." Zhang Yong reminded.
"What do you think Xia Zekai's psychological value for traveling is?" Ma Yun asked.
This matter is really hard to estimate, but after comprehensive evaluation, Cai Chongxin still raised two fingers and said: "Without this number, I'm afraid he won't agree."
"Two billion!" Ma Yun sighed, as if saying to himself: "That means if we buy it with money, we need to prepare at least 120 million US dollars?"
"That's right!" Cai Chongxin nodded simply.
"But we have no money." Jack Ma also knew this.
Both Tsai Chongxin and Zhang Yong nodded. Taobao is a big business, and even though the sales volume can easily exceed 1 billion on Double Eleven, the fees for the platform that truly belongs to them are not that exaggerated.
Moreover, Taobao also needs to maintain the operation, updates and various research and development expenses of the entire platform, and consumes a huge amount of funds every day.
In this state, Taobao cannot save money.
…
In the billiard hall below, Xia Zekai and the other three have not left yet.
After Xia Zekai and Lu Huan played another game, he threw the cue to Zhang Xu and said, "You guys play first, I'll go out and make a phone call."
After Xia Zekai opened the door again and went out, Lu Huan was no longer in the mood to play ball with Zhang Xu. He threw the cue on the table: "Xiao Zhang, take a break and drink some drinks to quench your thirst."
Zhang Xu glanced outside through the window glass. He saw Xia Zekai calling on the phone outside. He didn't know who he was calling, but he could only see that his mouth was not stopping.
Zhang Xu said with a complicated expression: "Mr. Lu, I thought I already understood the boss, but today I realized that what I understood was just the tip of the iceberg, not even a scratch."
Lu Chen smiled: "It's too exaggerated to say that it's not that powerful, but the boss does hide it quite deeply."
"But if it hadn't been for Chairman Ma today, you and I wouldn't have known that the boss was still the major shareholder of Yi Chuxing. Tsk tsk. I don't know how many shares he actually has. That's a lot of money!" Zhang Xu's eyes flashed, and he was in a special mood.
complex.
"Brother Lu, do you think the boss is hiding anything else?" Zhang Xu asked.
Lu Hao shook his head: "I don't know, but I'm sure there are more!"
