November 8, Hangzhou.
"Xu Yingcai and the others said so."
In Ali Baba's office, Cai Chongxin looked solemn.
"Compared with Feigou.com, what are we?" Lu Yun snorted coldly.
In the past, I begged him to go public in Hong Kong and call me Xiao Tiantian.
Nowadays, the new person is better than the old person, and people are called Mrs. Niu instead.
"That's not the point."
Cai Chongxin worried: "If Feigou.com is really listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, our situation will become very embarrassing. Even if the economic crisis passes, we will not be able to return to our previous position. As long as Ali is in the Hong Kong stock market, it will be We will be suppressed by Fei Gou for a day until one day we defeat Lu Fei!"
"I'm afraid that Xu Yingcai and his gang will have rebelled before that time comes." Lu Yun smiled coldly.
Cai Chongxin nodded in agreement and said, "Absolutely. They are typical of those who don't want to do anything early. They will fall wherever it is advantageous."
Lu Yun pondered for a moment, "I have thought about it. After a few years when the stock price returns to the issuance price, Ali will be directly privatized and delisted."
"hiss?"
Cai Chongxin was so excited that he killed the donkey with both hands?
Listed at HKD 13.5 and delisted at HKD 13.5.
It seems that investors and capital are neither making any profit nor losing money, but it will take at least two or three years for the stock price to rise back to HK$13.5.
Not to mention the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar, the interest earned on the funds raised in these years alone, excluding dividends, may result in a profit of more than 50%.
When repurchasing stocks, Ali Daba will not pay all the money. You can find a bank loan to buy back the stocks. In fact, it does not cost a penny inside and out.
In this turbulent capital game, Ali Baba will end up as the biggest winner. The worst thing is the shareholders and investors who have suffered heavy losses. After going around in a circle, they have not made any money, and time and opportunities have also failed. All wasted.
"Originally, Hong Kong stocks were our springboard. Ahri's final destination was the U.S. stock market. The reason why we chose the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was just to cope with Yahoo's listing and gambling agreement, nothing more."
Lu Yun knocked on the table with a serious look on his face.
"You're right, Jack."
Cai Chongxin adjusted his glasses. Regardless of morality, delisting was indeed the best operation from a profit perspective.
"But before that, we still need to run this Double Eleven properly." Lu Yun handed over the documents.
"This is?"
Cai Chongxin took a closer look and saw clearly written on it the advertising promotion rebate offers for Ali Baba merchants during Double Eleven.
"Lu Fei has his Autumn Wind Plan, and we have our Storm Wind Plan." Lu Yun said seriously, "Now that more and more companies are turning to online e-commerce to expand the scale of Taoduoduo, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity Don’t miss this opportunity!”
"I have no objection."
Cai Chongxin glanced at ten lines and saw that the paid merchants promoted by the channel had rebate discounts of up to 60%, with a payment of 50,000 yuan and a return of 30,000 yuan.
"Well, don't tell Xu Yingcai and the others the specific plan. Just tell them that Ah Li Baba will go all out."
Lu Yun was so hungry that he touched his belly.
"Should I quote 4.5 billion in sales this time?"
Cai Chongxin followed him and walked out of the office.
"Refund 5 billion!"
After Lu Yun finished speaking, the two of them headed towards the cafeteria.
As we walked and talked, we gradually realized something was wrong.
It was rare to see that the usually crowded canteen was not full of people, and there were only a few people there. They also made an exception and did not go to the high-rise box. They just brought a few plates of food and sat on the bench with their rice in their hands.
Lu Yun looked around and finally stopped a few young employees.
"People always need to eat, why don't they come down to eat? Is the food in the cafeteria not good? Or is the price too high?"
When I asked, I found out that a lot of people were still at their workstations.
"Look, Jack, this shows that our corporate culture at Ahri is very good. You guys voluntarily skipped meals and worked overtime!"
Cai Chongxin smiled from ear to ear.
Lu Yun noticed the strange expressions on their faces and didn't think much about it. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart: "Being a 996 is a huge blessing."
Just as the two were discussing adding chicken drumsticks to all the employees at night, the flow of people slowly increased, and people kept shouting——
Did you grab the consumer coupon?
"Coupons?"
Lu Yun was excited. He had been busy with Ali Baba's Double Eleven these days. Could it be that Lu Fei had done something bad?
Cai Chongxin stopped another one and learned from him that just now, the Hangzhou government issued a total of 10 million shopping festival coupons on the platforms of Feigou, Meituan, and Caifubao.
"What!"
Lu Yun was so angry that he put his rice bowl on the table.
The whole place was as silent as a cicada, and there was no sound.
Not only Hangzhou, but also the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, Yanjing, Pengcheng, Shanghai, Jinling and other cities have all issued consumer coupons.
All of a sudden, it detonated the entire Internet.
I immediately killed the "Feigou Double Eleven" currently ranked number one on Weibo's hot search list. Photos of myself grabbing coupons were posted everywhere in the comment area, and some couldn't help but feel sour.
There are even tutorials on how to quickly buy consumer coupons on forums and post bars, and even shopping matching guides.
The subprime mortgage crisis has made people panic.
Although it has not affected the country yet, and although many people do not know it at all, it is obvious that prices have risen slightly.
It's not as outrageous as Garlic, Jiang Qianjun, and Pig, but there are signs of this. Sensitive users have long been eager to try it, not only mobile phones, computers, cosmetics, and even oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar, which is comparable to 88 The price of the year broke through.
Feigou.com is even more prepared. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, it’s just a simple and crude sale and promotion.
Increase prices first and then offer discounts, discover them all and destroy them together.
Therefore, the discounts offered by Feigou and Meituan on Double Eleven are real benefits. They not only include 50% off popular items, large buy-back coupons, 100-yuan buy-back coupons, but also launch super flash sales.
Full discounts, discounts, gifts, draws, free shipping...
After one set of combination punches after another, Feigou Jingdong's traffic and transaction volume soared at an unprecedented speed.
Although the sales of Logic's best-selling music players and headphones in previous years were slightly bleak, and iPhone 4 and Kindle Pad were also mediocre, Shenzhou's mobile phones, computers, and laptops all broke the sales record just held during this year's "June 19".
Even Mengniu and Yili have reopened their sales!
In just the first hour of sales, during the first wave of sales, the turnover of 566 brands exceeded that of 619 in the whole day.
Then, the second wave, the third wave...
There were climaxes one after another, and until the end, the major e-commerce platforms began to announce the final results. The third-tier companies Dangdang, Amazon, and eBay were quite satisfactory and passed the exam.
The second-tier Meituan also posted its results——
3.47 billion!
Compared with the data that was tampered with by the "619", there is more than 1 billion more, and there is no trace of moisture or fraud!
Immediately afterwards, Ali Baba reported a turnover of 5.31 billion.
He avenged his shame and wiped away the shame of almost being overtaken by Meituan during the "June 19" Shopping Festival, which proved his strength, but after all, he is still the second child, and the second child will still be the second child after ten thousand years.
Feigou.com is still the only one in existence——
22.184 billion!
Not only did it cross the 20 billion mark for the first time, but Feigou, Jingdong, and Meituan combined exceeded the 25 billion mark.
Rather than netizens, it was the media who were excited.
In particular, the official media, including the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, have put out the articles they had prepared for a long time in a targeted manner, all sending a signal that China has unique scenery and a stable and improving economy!
Even on the front page of "People's Daily", for the first time, there appeared a congratulation to Feigou.com for its support in the name of "bell":
Congratulations and encouragement on the Double Eleven results!
With the "Double Eleven", three major plans were fully launched: home appliances to the countryside, computers to the cities, and Internet popularization.
It was implemented from December 1, 2008 to the end of November 2012, covering the whole country, with up to 10 billion special funds.
It’s equivalent to tens of billions of subsidies in the ancient version of Pinduoduo!
Online and offline, vigorously, in the current global economic recession, China has become the only light in the dark night!
And Huaxia e-commerce is a fire in the winter night!
"This 'Autumn Battle', we won a great victory!"
At the celebration banquet, Lu Fei raised his voice in front of everyone.
"Whoa whoa whoa~"
"Bang bang bang~"
Whether it was senior executives such as Liu Edong and Xu Lei, or middle-level and ordinary employees such as Tao Yao, they either applauded or clapped the table.
The applause was like thunder and the sound was loud.
"This time, in addition to performance, year-end bonus red envelopes, and team building tours, I am here to say hello to everyone in advance. The distribution plan will be released soon, and everyone will get the share of options they deserve soon. You Are you happy?"
Lu Fei put his left hand next to his ear.
"happy!!"
"Are you surprised?"
"surprise!!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Cheers!"
"cheers!"
Everyone shouted in unison, loud enough to knock off the roof.
Lu Fei raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing his speech, he walked back from the stage to the main table and sat down.
Liu Edong and Xu Lei approached from the left and right.
Liu Edong poured wine for Lu Fei and said: "This time our performance has completely shocked the investment banks on Wall Street. Goldman Sachs and Sequoia have now agreed to the designed distribution plan, but they hope to be the sponsors of the subsequent listing." aspect……"
"Sequoia, Goldman Sachs and CICC, what do you think?" Lu Fei looked left and right.
"I think there is no problem. This is similar to the second plan we discussed at the meeting." Xu Lei said with a smile: "Yes, Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange both called us. One kind, they all want us to go to it and list it.”
"Where is the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?"
Lu Fei tapped the table with his fingers.
"They were earlier and more diligent than them, but they are still diligent, but they only relaxed half of it. They only let us choose one from the 'same share with different rights' and the 'partnership system'. Only Feigou.com has a special privilege." Xu Lei He curled his lips and said, "The Hong Kong Stock Exchange will also send a negotiation delegation north to try to persuade us to list in Hong Kong."
"I want two, not one!"
"What you want is not a privilege, but a routine!"
"There is no room for bargaining. If they don't agree, I don't think there is any need for them to go north, and there is no need for us to meet. It is just a waste of time to just reply to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange."
Lu Fei picked up a shrimp and twisted off the head of the shrimp.
"That's what you should say! You are so shameless!"
Xu Lei's tone was full of disdain, "I don't want to think about the current situation of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange? What if Ahri breaks through 5 billion this time? The stock price is still falling, and it will soon fall below 1 Hong Kong dollar. It has become a complete joke. It's really not good. You know what illusions you are harboring.”
The corner of Lu Fei's lips curled up, "If you two have spare money and want to invest, and are willing to let it go for three or four years, you can take advantage of the opportunity to buy the bottom now. Ali Baba has already reached the bottom, and it will never go down again. When the stock price rises, what will happen?" It can also be doubled more than ten times.”
"good idea!"
Xu Lei's eyes lit up.
Liu Edong had no idea, and looked at Lu Fei asking for instructions, "Mr. Lu, since the Hong Kong Stock Exchange still has some luck, how about we contact Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange first?"
Lu Fei nodded, "I'll leave this matter of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to you." After speaking, he patted Liu Haodong on the shoulder, "In addition, the follow-up work of Double Eleven and the 'Warm Winter Plan' cannot be slacked off. Haodong , this is going to be a hard work for you to keep a close eye on."
"no problem!"
Liu Edong smiled and raised his glass.
"After the winter aid plan, we will make three more moves."
Lu Fei drank a drink with him and squinted his eyes.
"Wait a minute, Fei, we still have one step left in our three-move chess? Where can we find another three-move?" Xu Lei asked in surprise.
"That's the old three steps, I'm talking about the new three steps."
Lu Fei took the initiative to fill the three glasses of wine.
Feigou.com not only helps domestic companies switch from foreign trade to domestic sales, but also helps domestic sales and build foreign trade after the subprime mortgage crisis is over.
Jingdong’s overseas layout cannot fall behind.
For example, it has launched a "global free shipping service". Overseas users can enjoy free cross-border shipping services when they purchase products with the "free shipping" logo and choose "official shipping".
"This is good!"
Liu Edong immediately sensed the business opportunity, "The 'global free shipping service' can stimulate the recovery of consumption in overseas markets. Jingdong can just use the sales channels and export networks of these foreign trade companies to quickly open up the global distribution business."
"These three new steps are also considered as plans after listing."
Lu Fei raised the wine cup containing white wine.
Liu Edong and Xu Lei looked at each other and raised their glasses.
There was a sound of ding, three-point clinking of glasses, and a consensus was reached.
The entire celebration banquet lasted for more than two hours and ended in a harmonious and lively atmosphere. Lu Fei, Liu Edong and Xu Lei staggered out of the hotel door with their arms around each other.
Wang Ben parked the car in front of Lu Fei. Before getting in the car, Liu Edong gave him a tug and said, "Hey, Mr. Lu, Xiaojing asked me to treat you to a meal sometime. Thank you for mentioning those internal references." valuable advice…”
"Hey, have you been promoted again this time?"
Xu Lei smiled and raised his hand.
"Director?" Lu Fei smiled.
"No, no, no, I'm the deputy deputy director."
Liu Edong smiled with a hint of pride.
"OK, no problem."
Lu Fei gently punched their chests, then got into the car and asked Wang Ben to drive to the private villa where Yang Mi now lived.
Outside the car window, the lights are bright, and occasionally you can see a few couriers in ZTO uniforms, delivering packages overnight.
Just when his eyelids were shaking, his phone suddenly vibrated.
The caller turned out to be Sun Hongjun, "Mr. Lu, Samsung has gone crazy. It suddenly announced that it will invest 118% of its total profits in the expansion of DRAM chips. This is to fight the price war to the end!"
Thanks to bvitacb and Running on the Road 1688 for the 100 starting coins.
