Since Alibaba's Taobao was launched, Adrian, president of France's Vivendi, has been paying attention to the e-commerce platform.

Before this, the French Ministry of Commerce had already talked to him, asking him to make eBay China destroy the Alibaba company invested by Mavie.

Originally, this matter should be very relaxed in Adrian's eyes. After all, the market value of eBay in the United States is hundreds of millions of US dollars, while Alibaba in China is only less than 30 million US dollars. The key is that it has rarely made profits since its inception. It is not as much as eBay in China!

But what Adrian never expected was that Alibaba, which was originally easy to deal with, actually made a sharp counterattack and created Taobao! And using special forms such as free to gradually snatch their ebay China customer resources!

This makes Vivendi President Adrian very uneasy! If this trend continues, let alone destroy Alibaba, I am afraid that he will be dragged down by the other party...

Adrian immediately contacted John, the executive president of ebay China, and wanted to ask him what the situation in China and whether he could be settled.

As soon as the phone was connected, John's voice came from there, which sounded a little panic, "Hey, Director Adrian, hello! I am John, the executive president of ebay China... Regarding Alibaba and Taobao, we ebay are thinking of countermeasures..."

I have to say that the reason why ebay failed in China is that it is not adapting to the local environment. If the executive president is Chinese, he might be able to compete with Alibaba, which Mawei invested in.

But unfortunately, the foreigner's business philosophy has no advantage in China, and they cannot understand the attraction of free to Chinese people.

...

The EU wants to give Mavi a little color through ebay. But Mavie directly fights back through Taobao, which is definitely enough for China to eat a good pot of ebay. It even makes them not have a good year...

As Taobao becomes more mature, ebay makes less and less profitable in China. In just one month, nearly 20% of the sellers and buyers on its platform have been running. There are nearly 40% of them, both Taobao and ebay have created accounts.

However, after actual operation, I found that Taobao is obviously much easier to use than ebay! The key is that there is no handling fee, and the transaction is guaranteed.

...

"Mr. Ma Wei, let me tell you good news! Yesterday, our Taobao website's daily trading volume exceeded 1 million yuan, and it was far ahead of ebay's 600,000 yuan!" On the phone, Boss Ma reported to Ma Weihui very excitedly.

If Ma Wei hadn't helped him in time this time, I'm afraid Alibaba would have been overwhelmed by ebay. After all, the gap is that...

"Well, then congratulations, Boss Ma." Ma Wei was already in Russia at this time. In another two weeks, the large-scale annual meeting of his company will be held in the coastal city of Sochi.

Sochi, located at the junction of the Krasnodar Krai and Georgia in the Russian Federation, is one of the narrowest cities in the world. It is also the host city of the 2014 Winter Olympics, with a Mediterranean climate that is spring-like. It is similar to the domestic Sanya.

"By the way, Boss Ma, are you free in two weeks? I invite you to Sochi to attend the annual meeting of my MAV Group." Mawei said invitingly on the phone. A few days ago, he integrated his companies together to form a multinational group. In addition, Moscow has recently entered winter, so he needs to change to a warm place to wait.

"Annual meeting? Yes, Mr. Ma Wei, I will definitely attend if I have time!" Boss Ma immediately agreed.

In his impression, the company's annual meeting is usually like eating and drinking, everyone should eat and drink well, and the winners who should win, and the offenders who should pay. Then next year, everyone will work hard and strive to create better results for the company.

However, Mawei's annual company meeting is not like that! To be precise, this is no longer the annual company meeting in the ordinary sense!

Two weeks later, Boss Ma took his eighteen Alibaba partners to Sochi Airport by plane. Then, he was surprised to find that Russian police and Russian troops were standing everywhere in the airport terminal! When he saw this, he thought he was going to fight...

"Mr. Ma, what's going on here? I heard that some time ago, Ukraine and Russia had a very unhappy relationship with the EU. Could it be that there is any danger?" One of the partners asked Boss Ma worriedly.

Originally, everyone came to Russia happily to attend the annual meeting. But if something happened to such a thing, it would be a tragedy.

"It's a peaceful era, what kind of war can we fight?" Boss Ma couldn't help but ask. Then he added, "Maybe some big shots from Russia are suddenly coming to the airport, don't be surprised!"

Just as Boss Ma was about to say this, he saw a Russian army officer wearing a major uniform and fully armed soldiers walking towards Boss Ma and others. Seeing a group of Alibaba senior executives, they didn't dare to move around! They were afraid that the other party would have misunderstandings, so they drew their guns toward each other...

Seeing that the other party was coming in full force, a Russian-speaking male partner quickly stood up and explained, "That... we are tourists from China, not bad people."

However, before he could finish his words, he saw the army major who came forward seriously and suddenly reached out to salute everyone!

"May I ask, is Mr. Ma from China?" Major of the Army asked Boss Ma in English, which was not very fluent.

"Yes, are you?" Boss Ma was surprised after hearing this, thinking how could he know him as the other party? He doesn't remember having made friends like this with a major in the Russian Army! Could it be...?

When Boss Ma thought of this, he suddenly had a premonition! The army major in front of him, the Russian police and army at the airport, might have been arranged by Ma Wei!? This is too awesome!?

"I am Major Stepan, and it was Mr. Mavie who asked me to receive you." The Army Major said to everyone seriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the eighteen Alibaba partners standing in front of him suddenly had an expression on their faces, which was even more exaggerated than Mawei's 30 million US dollars spent at the time! They were all stunned! To be precise, they were stunned, their mouths were so open that they could stuff eggs...

"What!? All these were arranged by Mr. Mavie? He, what is his background?" a male partner sighed in surprise.
Chapter completed!
