In a high-end private club, Ye Feng met Ma Hua and Ma Xiaoyun of Ali.
This was the first time Ye Feng had met Ma Xiaoyun in real life; she was even more elegant than she appeared on television.
Although it doesn't look very appealing, its core is extremely powerful.
They have high emotional intelligence and eloquence, and can shorten the distance between the two parties in just a few words.
Ma Xiaoyun personally poured Ye Feng a cup of tea and said with a smile:
"President Ye, you are truly an outstanding person, one in a million is not an exaggeration."
It is my honor to drink with someone of your stature.
Even though he knew Ma Xiaoyun was just saying that for show, Ye Feng still felt very comfortable.
After all, the person in front of him was once his idol.
Apart from its appearance, everything else is top-of-the-line.
If he hadn't been so greedy later on, creating some kind of university and crossing the line.
In the future, it may reach the same level as the U.S. military.
However, Ye Feng did not become arrogant or complacent after being praised a few times; he simply smiled and responded.
Unable to fathom the purpose of these two coming to find him, he decided to remain calm and wait for the right moment.
The two sides argued like this for about ten minutes before finally getting to the point.
Ma Xiaoyun asked, "I wonder what President Ye thinks of Ali now?"
Ye Feng sincerely said, "It's excellent, it has great potential, and the next ten years will definitely be the era of online shopping."
It's not difficult for Ali to grow into a behemoth with a market value of trillions.
However, compared to Ali, I have more faith in your company's Taobao.
Payment is something everyone needs every day.
Ma Xiaoyun's expression immediately turned serious, and she couldn't help but look at Ye Feng with newfound respect.
From the moment they met until now, he actually still held Ye Feng in some contempt.
After all, Ye Feng is just too young.
However, as Ye Feng said those words, Ma Xiaoyun felt that this person's insight, understanding, and perspective were no less than her own.
This immediately created a conflicting feeling: a sense of mutual appreciation with a kindred spirit, a sense of being evenly matched, and a sense of vigilance towards an opponent.
Ma Xiaoyun composed herself and said, "President Ye's judgment is impeccable. So, I wonder if you would be interested in investing in Ali?"
"Hmm?" Ye Feng's expression shifted. "Mr. Ma isn't joking?"
Ali has now become the number one in the online shopping industry.
They will be successfully listed in a few years, and they are not short of money now, so you can imagine how difficult it is to get a share.
The sudden suggestion that Ye Feng could invest is definitely not that simple.
Ye Feng: "Of course I want to, but Mr. Ma must have some conditions, right?"
At this point, Ma Hua chimed in, "I think the future of the internet will definitely belong to the three of us, so why don't we make our relationship even closer?"
Ma Xiaoyun is willing to give 8% of Ali's shares to President Ye in exchange for 8% of your Weixin shares.
I will also give up 5% of Tencent's shares to exchange for 5% of Weixin held by President Ye.
In that case, our three families will be truly inseparable, bound by blood, and from now on, we'll advance and retreat together, and make money together.
Ma Xiaoyun nodded and smiled from the side.
At the same time, Ye Feng felt that he couldn't possibly refuse such generous terms.
After all, Ali's valuation is already very high.
However, to the surprise and bewilderment of both Mr. Mas, Ye Feng actually refused.
He had made up his mind that he must have 100% control over his authority and absolutely not allow outsiders to concede even a little bit.
“No…” Ma Xiaoyun asked in confusion, “Why is that?”
"Given Ali's current value and future potential, Mr. Ye, you won't lose out in this equity swap."
"No, no, no, that's a huge loss." Ye Feng shook his head: "That's right, Ali is the industry leader now, but it still can't compare to Weixin."
Ma Xiaoyun was somewhat unconvinced: "That's too much to say. Ali's market share is currently number one in the country."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "That's right, Ali is indeed number one in market share nationwide now."
However, Mr. Ma seems to have forgotten one thing.
People can't shop online every day, but they do open WeChat to chat or communicate with colleagues about work every day.
The two products are used at different frequencies.
Ma Xiaoyun's expression became more serious.
Ye Feng is right!
To judge whether a product is good or bad, the main thing to look at is how much time users are willing to spend on it every day.
The longer it is used, the higher its potential and value will be.
In this respect, Ali is indeed incomparable.
Ma Xiaoyun and Ma Hua exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.
Then Ma Xiaoyun said to Ye Feng, "How about this, let's exchange 10% of Ali shares for 8% of Weixin?"
Ma Hua: "It's the same for me. I'm exchanging 7% of Tencent's shares for 5% of Weixin's shares."
Ye Feng still refused with a smile: "I'm really sorry, but no matter what, I will absolutely not give up any of my prestige."
If you two are willing to exchange it for cash, I would be happy to.
Ma Hua thought it must be because he had stabbed Ye Feng in the back last time that Ye Feng was now so wary.
I feel a little annoyed.
No matter how the two tried to persuade him, Ye Feng simply wouldn't agree.
In the end, the matter could only end without resolution. After parting ways, he sat in the car with a thoughtful expression. This negotiation had fallen apart, and they would definitely join forces against him next.
So I should start preparing now.
In the e-commerce sector, Ye Feng currently has no territory whatsoever.
Although there are other brands on the market besides Ali, such as Paipai and Dangdang.
However, these companies are all inferior to Ali and have no ability to resist.
Before long, he will become just another ordinary person.
The only one who could rival him was Jing Dong, who didn't have much of a reputation yet.
Ye Feng recalls that it wasn't until 2014 that Tencent invested in Jing Dong.
Then, they provided huge traffic entry points on WeChat and QQ, and Jing Dong grew rapidly.
If you invest now, the costs will be much lower.
Moreover, with his own support and control over the future, Jing Dong will avoid many detours.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng sent a message to Yang Ruolan, asking her to first gather some information about Da Qiangzi.
Let's set a time to meet and have a good talk.
It seems that at this time, the "Red Tea Sister" was still in school?
Ye Feng revealed a smile that any man would understand.
If we meet again in the future, we could... hehehe.
However, let's get down to business first.
Ye Feng sat in the car, pondering his next investment direction.
I have over 100 billion in cash on hand, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't spend it.
Just then, Liu Xiaonuan called: "Something bad has happened!"
