Silicon Valley

Seeing everyone was shocked, Liu Liang laughed and said, Mr. Ma, Dongfang Capital is based in China and aims to help Chinese companies develop! Although we hold 65% of the shares, the management of the company is still handed over to the Taobao team. Under the circumstances, there will be no intervention!

Hearing this, Ma Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Liu Liang said: Today's shareholders' meeting has two purposes. One is to announce the existence of Dongfang Capital to everyone, and the other is to discuss the financing of Taobao. The situation on Taobao is getting more and more serious. On the PC side, Nicholas International e-commerce occupies the largest market share, Taobao only has 9%; and on the mobile terminal, Nicholas International E-commerce has monopolized 95% of the market share! After a pause, Liu Liang glanced around Ma Yun and others, giving They put a little pressure on it, and then continued, Therefore, Taobao must speed up its development. In terms of capital investment, we must be willing to spend money. At the same time, we must establish a new brand website - Tmall, and enter the B2C field. , that is, enterprises and users, invite well-known and powerful enterprises to enter Tmall.com, and break the impression that people regard Taobao as a fake!!!”

Hearing what Liu Liang said, everyone's eyes lit up. It is indeed a good idea to establish Tmall.com and reverse the image of Taobao.com.

Ma Yun asked: Mr. Liu, it takes a lot of money to build a new brand. May I ask how much money Orient Capital plans to raise for Taobao?

Liu Liang asked with a smile, Is 100 million US dollars enough?

Jack Ma nodded: That's enough for the time being. If there is too much, we don't want it! If there is too much financing, the shares of Jack Ma's team will be diluted too much, so naturally he is unwilling to raise too much!

Okay, let's raise 100 million US dollars! We will sign the financing agreement later, and the capital will arrive immediately!

Ma Yun nodded again: Okay, no problem!

Soon, the two parties signed a financing agreement, and Dongfang Capital injected 100 million US dollars to further increase its holdings of Taobao shares, holding a total of 72.5%. Ma Yun holds 10% of Taobao shares, and the rest jointly hold 17.5%.

In the afternoon of the same day, Taobao and Orient Capital held a press conference to announce the third round of financing of Taobao.

Orient Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Williams Royal Investment Company, and now holds 72.5% of Taobao's shares, which is about the same as Henry's shares in Nicholas International E-Commerce. No matter which company develops, it is the same for Henry. Other e-commerce companies will be squeezed out by Taobao and Nicholas International E-commerce Group, and the entire market will be occupied by the two e-commerce giants.

President Ma, do you have time to go to Beijing?

Ma Yun felt a little puzzled by Liu Liang's question. He thought for a while and replied, I have time!

His Majesty Williams wants to meet you, just go to Prince Gong's Mansion to find him! After Liu Liang finished speaking, he showed an inexplicable smile to Ma Yun. Seeing this smile, Ma Yun suddenly felt a little bit in his heart, Could it be that Henry Williams is the boss behind Eastern Capital?!

Thinking of this, Jack Ma couldn't help but take a deep breath. Okay, I'm going to Beijing tomorrow! he said.

Liu Liang smiled again, and left the Taobao headquarters with the people from Oriental Capital.

Early the next morning, Jack Ma took a plane to Beijing.

It happened to be snowing lightly in Beijing, and it was covered in silver, so beautiful. Ma Yun got off the plane and went straight to Prince Gong's Mansion in a hurry. After arriving at the destination, he immediately introduced himself to the guard: Hello, I am Ma Yun, and I want to find His Majesty Williams!

You are Jack Ma? Okay, Your Majesty will tell you that when you come, I will take you directly into the palace. Your Majesty and Princess Kailina are enjoying the snow scene in the back garden!

Under the leadership of the guards, Ma Yun entered the palace. The carved columns and painted buildings in the palace are antique and decorated with snow spots, which is very charming. When approaching the back garden, I heard someone reciting poems.

Northern scenery, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow.

Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is nothing left but wild; the river goes up and down, suddenly lost its torrential flow.

The mountain dancing silver snake, the original galloping wax figure, wants to compete with the god of heaven.

Haha, that's a good saying, 'I want to compare myself with Tiangong'! Kailinna, how do you think I compare with Tiangong?

Your Majesty, what is Tiangong? Your goal is the stars and the ocean! Kailina joked.

At this time, Henry noticed someone walking over not far away, and took a closer look, isn't it Jack Ma?

Seeing Henry looking at him, Ma Yun hurriedly walked over in three steps and two steps, and said respectfully: Hi, Your Majesty Williams!

Princess Kailinna, hello! After saying that, she quickly saluted Kailinna.

Mr. Ma came to Beijing all the way, so he hasn't rested yet!

Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, I'm not tired!

Okay, let's go to the booth and talk!

it is good!

Henry smiled, and took the lead to walk to a garden pavilion not far away, while ordering the servants to prepare some food.

After Henry, Karina and Ma Yun sat down.

Henry smiled and asked, Does Mr. Ma know why Liu Liang, the CEO of Oriental Capital, asked you to come see me?

Seeing him asking this question, Ma Yun became more and more sure that he was the boss behind Dongfang Capital.

Because Oriental Capital is His Majesty's company! Ma Yun looked into Henry's eyes and said in a very firm tone.

Henry laughed, It seems that Mr. Ma also guessed it... That's right, Oriental Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Williams Royal Investment Company!

Your Majesty, I have a doubt. Since you already own Nicholas International E-commerce, why do you invest in Taobao?

It's very simple. The Chinese market is huge enough to give birth to two or more e-commerce giants. I hope to have them all in my hands!

Your Majesty, I have another question, which is very important!

Come on, what's the problem?

When Taobao and Nicholas International e-commerce compete, which side will you lean towards? Jack Ma asked seriously.

Hearing this, Henry couldn't help laughing and said: With my current status and wealth, what I value is not money, but influence! If Taobao has the ability to acquire Nicholas International E-commerce, I will definitely support it with all my strength. Of course. , I hope that the two companies can cooperate with each other to monopolize global e-commerce! I say that, do you understand what I mean?

Ma Yun nodded: Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!

Very good!!! Henry nodded and smiled in satisfaction, then waved to the secretary Violet, who immediately handed over a document in her hand.

Henry looked at Ma Yun and said, Open it and have a look!

Ma Yun was slightly taken aback, then took the document and began to flip through it. After reading for less than half a minute, Ma Yun showed a look of shock on his face!
