Chapter 1306 seek skin with the tiger
"Mr. Bai is very calm."
In the driving car, Ma Yun smiled at Bai Ningyuan who was sitting side by side with him and said.
Faced with Ma Yun's almost anxious invitation, Bai Ningyuan did not hesitate too much, so he responded and got on Ma Yun's car.
As for the security personnel, they did not take the car sent by emp Qiantang Industrial Park, but instead called a taxi to follow Ma Yun's car.
Bai Ningyuan could see that Ma Yun didn't seem to want others to know about the meeting he had with him. Moreover, before the shareholders' meeting was held, he came to stop him. At this point in time, it was obvious that Ma Yun wanted to plan something.
Facing Ma Yun's teasing, Bai Ningyuan just smiled softly, without answering anything, with a look of undeniable expression on his face, and then looked at his car quietly.
Now Ma Yun's car is not the famous Maybach, but also. You should know that the global launch ceremony of the Maybach 62 has just passed, and this car is almost never seen on the market. Besides, Ma Yun is not as luxurious as to buy such a car to show his identity, so he is now riding a top-end BMW 760.
Facing Bai Ningyuan's silence, Ma Yun didn't care too much. He knew that it was not the time to talk about serious matters, so he smiled and turned his eyes to the street scene outside.
The two of them have an age gap of over 20 years. This is definitely a big purchasing agent. Apart from business, there are not many common topics that the two can find, so they simply think about their own affairs and prepare for a while of secret talks.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the car could not help but be a little weird. This made Ma Yun's driver and bodyguard feel extremely embarrassed and depressed, but they couldn't have an attack. After all, no matter which of the two people behind them, they were incomparable to them.
However, Bai Ningyuan and Ma Yun had no special feeling about this atmosphere, as if the two people were in the same place as two completely separated existences.
The car drove along West Lake and soon arrived at the Shangri-La Hotel by West Lake. After entering the hotel, Mayun's driver first booked a private room, and then Mayun and Bai Ningyuan entered the private room.
First, he checked and confirmed that there was no eavesdropping or surveillance equipment in the room. Ma Yun's bodyguard nodded at his boss, then left the room and left the space for Bai Ningyuan and Ma Yun. He was waiting outside with Bai Ningyuan's security team.
Without outsiders, the atmosphere in the room seemed to become solemn. Bai Ningyuan couldn't help but show a serious look on his face. He knew very well that the serious matter was about to begin.
Ma Yun first poured a glass of water for Bai Ningyuan and himself, then sat opposite Bai Ningyuan, looking at Bai Ningyuan who was also watching him in front of him, and said straight to the point: "This time I will invite you to come here, Mr. Bai, I must be very clear in your heart. Time is precious, so I will no longer hide it from you and go around in circles. I want to ask you, what do you think about the problems facing Alibaba at present?"
Ma Yun knew very well that there was less than two months left before the deadline given by the central bank. This time seemed to be abundant, but in fact, reaching an agreement on related issues and completing actual operations according to relevant intentions and passing the central bank's verification is simply a complex project, and it cannot be completed in one or two days. Therefore, it is an urgent matter to solve the foreign investment problem of Zhifubao as soon as possible.
The importance of Zhifubao to Alibaba is self-evident. The current business empire represented by Taobao.com is completely based on Zhifubao. Once this matter cannot be resolved, the central bank will cancel its third-party payment license, which will be a devastating blow to Alibaba.
Before, Ma Yun had already tentatively explained this issue to SoftBank and Yahoo, the two largest shareholders in Alibaba, and hoped that they could voluntarily give up Zhifubao and separate Zhifubao from Alibaba to avoid the restrictions of the central bank, but in terms of results, it was not very ideal.
Although Ma Yun still has some competitive ideas about Bai Ningyuan because of Lefu Finance, Zhifubao is now facing life and death, and it is still unknown whether it can exist. He will not stubbornly stick to those prejudices, but instead seek cooperation from Bai Ningyuan, trying to open a breakthrough.
"This, I am just a small shareholder. What is my opinion? I think, Mr. Ma, you should think of more solutions from SoftBank and Yahoo." Although Ma Yun's intention can be seen from Ma Yun's actions of inviting him here, Bai Ningyuan did not intend to interfere in this matter before seeing the real materials. After all, for him, there seems to be no benefit in getting involved in it.
At that time, Bai Ningyuan tried his best to acquire shares in Alibaba, not to do anything, but to "snap off" more because he knew that even if he did nothing, the shares in his hands would definitely make him a fortune after seven or eight years, when Alibaba went public.
Therefore, when Bai Ningyuan first met Ma Yun in 2006, he promised him that in the next five years, except for major matters such as equity financing changes, he would not interfere too much in the company's operations. In fact, Bai Ningyuan did the same. In recent years, he has almost devoted all his energy to the development of Lo International. As for Alibaba, he is like a transparent person and has never interfered. Even Bai Ningyuan only attended the board meeting symbolically and never expressed his opinion. In this way, everyone gradually ignored his shareholder, whose personal shareholding reached 18%.
"Besides, I promised you before that I will not interfere with Alibaba's operations." Bai Ningyuan shrugged his shoulders, with a harmless smile on his face.
"I know, Mr. Bai, you have Lefu Finance in your hands. In the past few years, the development speed of Lefu Finance has been too amazing, far exceeding Zhifu Bao. Therefore, although Zhifu Bao is important, it is not in an irreplaceable position. However, when you invested in Alibaba, you were interested in Alibaba's future development prospects and wanted to make profits through it. But now, whether Alibaba can support it is still a question. You should be very clear in your heart. The role of Zhifu Bao to Alibaba. Once Zhifu Bao is cancelled by the central bank's payment license, it will be a devastating blow to Alibaba. At that time, do you think your investment is meaningful? I think no one will think about letting his investment waste." Ma Yun looked at Bai Ningyuan and said earnestly.
After a pause, he looked at Bai Ningyuan's face with a contemplative look, and then he continued to persuade Bai Ningyuan: "You promised me not to interfere with the company's operations, but did you promised within five years? Now this time has just passed. You are also the major shareholder of the company, so you must be responsible for your investment."
"I think the key to this matter is SoftBank and Yahoo. Don't they worry about what you are worried about? I think they are also very clear about the importance of Fufu Bao to Alibaba. I think they will not watch Alibaba fall out, and they will eventually compromise." Bai Ningyuan hesitated for a moment, and said, still maintaining a cautious attitude in his words.
"Their capital is sharks chasing interests. Wherever there is profit, there will be their shadow. Once they realize that the prospects of a certain project are not optimistic, do you think they will continue to hold it? For them, Zhifubao is just a piece of fat. I am afraid that in the eyes of SoftBank and Yahoo, they would rather give up Alibaba than give up this piece of fat. After all, they are investors because they can have the power to enter and exit the market in capital. They are born to stand on the advantage." Ma Yun said to Bai Ningyuan with a calm face.
"I think, if they really say that, they can just quit if they want to. Even if Zhifubao is no longer available, I'd better just bring Lefu Finance in directly? Taobao can continue to operate, but it's just a payment platform. Now Lexin's reputation is pretty good." Hearing Ma Yun's words, Bai Ningyuan suddenly raised his eyebrows and said lightly.
Hearing Bai Ningyuan's words, Ma Yun almost subconsciously raised his head and looked at Bai Ningyuan with a strange feeling flashing in his eyes. However, while Ma Yun's gaze, Bai Ningyuan's vision was not affected at all. His face always looked calm and calm, as if nothing had happened.
Ma Yun took a deep breath. He almost used all his strength to suppress the sudden outburst of emotions just now. He suddenly remembered that although Bai Ningyuan has always been away from core power for so many years, he should not forget that a man who can have a business empire at such an age would be a good man and a trustworthy woman? He is also a hungry wolf who eats meat and does not spit bones.
Moreover, Ma Yun never thought of this. I have to say that the young man in front of him has a really big appetite!
For a moment, Ma Yun's heart couldn't help but shake. Is it a mistake to invite this young man here? Is the current situation a matter of being a scammed with the tiger...
