After returning from Dongping, Li Dong didn't go anywhere. He shut himself in the courtyard and didn't go out for a few days.
Shen Qian didn't know whether the situation was good or bad. Li Dong didn't seem to be in a bad mood, but he was a little lonely.
Yes, lonely.
…
Li Dong was a little lonely.
While he was afraid, he was actually looking forward to it.
Perhaps, in this world, he would be able to find his own kind.
But when he saw the student's reaction, and there seemed to be no change except for his butterfly wings flapping over the years, Li Dong knew that he thought too much.
In this world, there was only him, Li Dong.
So while he was relieved, he was a little lonely.
People were really hypocritical.
There were some things that you both hoped to exist, but you were worried that its existence would have a negative impact on you.
Almost everyone would have this kind of contradiction.
Therefore, at the moment, Li Dong was contradictory and lonely.
But it was not to say that he was in a bad mood.
Since there was no one else like him, he felt more relieved than relieved.
On April 12th, after three days of closed-door training, Li Dong finally got rid of all the influence and completely recovered.
…
When Li Dong appeared in public again, many people were also relieved.
Lin 'an.
Ma Yun shook his head and said, "I finally understand that this guy is waiting for this time to appear!"
Seeing that others were at a loss, Ma Yun was speechless and said, "Don't you understand? What's the date today? "
"The 12th …"
Some people were still at a loss, but Ma Yun didn't bother to explain.
Cai Chongxin said with a smile, "On the 12th, the Forbes network will release the world's real-time rich list. It will be officially online at midnight, which is about 12 o 'clock in the afternoon here. Do you understand? "
At this time, everyone suddenly understood!
Someone couldn't help but complain, "Is it necessary? Does he still value this so much now? "
Li Dong was already the richest man in Asia. As for the position of the richest man in the world, was it really so important?
Besides, the money was his, and the ranking of outsiders was, after all, outsiders …
Well, that was what they said, but who really didn't care?
In this world, there weren't many ambitious men who didn't care about rankings.
Bill Gates said he didn't care, but did he really not care?
Maybe it was because he had been on the list too many times, or maybe it was because he had gotten first place too many times. It wasn't that he didn't care, it was just that he could accept it more easily than others.
When the list was released last year, he lost his position as the richest man. Was he really indifferent?
This was obviously impossible.
Everyone said that they didn't care, but if they said that they didn't have any thoughts, they would be saints.
It was understandable that Li Dong cared about these things.
Now that everyone said that Li Dong valued these things too much, it was just sour grapes.
The richest man in the world. Who here, including Ma Yun, dared to think about this title?
Ma Yun did not even dare to think about it!
Not to mention now, he didn't even dare to think about it in the past.
At this time, Ma Yun did not even think about being the richest man in Hua Xia.
…
Ma Yun and the others were not the only ones who thought so. Almost everyone else had the same thought.
Shenzhen City.
Ma Huateng said with a black face, "I was wondering what he was waiting for. So it's all for today. Shameless thing, just wait and see. If we don't give him the position of the richest man in the world, he will never stop arguing with Forbes!"
"Pfft!"
Many people at the scene could not help but laugh. What he said was true.
Li Dong had caused a ruckus for so many days because of the position of the richest man in the world.
Now that the real-time list was out, if he did not reach the top, he would definitely continue to cause a ruckus.
…
On the Internet.
The netizens were also lining up to watch the show.
Many people even started betting on whether Li Dong could become the richest man in the world this time.
Someone said, "With Brother Pao's character, and with Forbes being tortured by him this time, I think Brother Pao will definitely reach the top."
Someone else retorted, "Impossible. The list was just released last time. Last time, it was 22 billion USD. Now it's more than 40 billion USD. Wouldn't Forbes slap himself in the face? The gap is so big that it's almost non-existent. "
"Just wait and see. If Brother Pao doesn't reach the top, Forbes will just wait for Brother Pao to continue fighting!"
"Bullsh * t, if Brother Pao reaches the top, then there must be some shady dealings going on. I strongly object!"
"What's the use of your objection!"
"In any case, I don't think he will reach the top. So far away, none of his businesses have been listed. Now that he's the richest man, he won't be able to live."
"All of you only know how to talk nonsense. Do the math yourself and have a rough estimate.
We all know Brother Pao's businesses very well. Just do the math and you'll know.
So far away retail is worth 100 billion RMB. So far away logistics and real estate are more in debt. Brother Pao said 50 billion the last time, so it should be about the same.
So far away Technology, Wan Tong, PP, Far Away Mall, and Weibo are the most valuable in Far away Technology.
Previously, Weibo said that Brother Pao's shares were worth 18 billion RMB. Far Away Mall should be worth a little more than Taobao. Of course, this is hard to say. It depends on how others calculate it. But 50 billion is definitely worth it. That's how I see it.
As for Wan Tong, PP, and the others, it should be around 50 billion.
In total, I think it should be around 250 billion to 270 billion.
As for whether Brother Pao has any other hidden assets or whether his debts are real, it's hard to judge.
Even if it's a little lower, it should be around 200 billion, which is around 30 billion USD.
Whether he can surpass Bill Gates or not, we'll see how Forbes calculates it. "
As soon as this person, who seemed to be a professional, said this, many people also started to post.
Li Dong's wealth, 200 billion RMB, seems to be there.
Of course, because So far away was not listed, they did not announce any financial reports. Some of the figures were reported by Li Dong himself and Far away, so it might not be accurate.
As for how much debt they have, it's also hard to determine.
It's also hard to determine if Li Dong has any hidden assets.
From the public figures, 200 billion RMB is the minimum. If it's higher, it shouldn't be more than 270 billion RMB.
The reason why there's a difference of tens of billions is because of the huge gap between unlisted companies.
This thing is different from industry, as it can provide detailed data.
There was actually a set of calculation methods for the valuation of unlisted internet companies. The key was that this method was suitable for general companies, but it was not very suitable for Distance.
Or rather, for the industry giants, these models are not suitable.
Forbes will probably use some professional organizations to estimate the IT industry Far away and make a comprehensive evaluation.
They can do a simple calculation for normal people, but when it comes to the battle for the world's richest man, especially Li Dong, he always uses this to hype up. If there's too much hype, it could easily cause a negative impact on Forbes.
Therefore, Forbes is actually very cautious with the release of the World's Richest List.
…
In reality, on the internet, everyone was discussing Li Dong's wealth.
Everyone felt that Li Dong was resurrected at this time for this matter.
Even those Far away saw Li Dong come to the company on this day and felt that he was just waiting for the right time.
When Li Dong heard all of this from their beating around the bush, he immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, "Nonsense!"
"I don't even remember this. Why should I care about this?
Do you think I, Li Dong, care about reputation?
Forbes and I were just cooperating with each other to hype up. If not for that, do you think Weibo can raise nearly 1 billion USD?
This was the real, practical benefit!
Even if I reach the top now, what can I do?
Will Forbes give me a dime?
I'm a billionaire. Do I have to let them judge me?
Stop thinking about these useless thoughts. Let's have a meeting and discuss business. I have not been here for a few days. Have you all forgotten that we still have a lot of work to do?! "
Everyone became serious when their boss was angry.
Many people felt a little embarrassed when they saw Li Dong's attitude. So it turned out that they cared too much about it. But thinking about it, since Li Dong had already reached this stage, why would he care about this empty reputation?
As these people were thinking, Li Dong turned and said. "Bai Su, when the list is out, print a copy for me to see. If they are not first, continue to sue them!"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
In the meeting room, everyone was coughing.
The few executives were used to it. A bunch of ignorant people!
You all still don't understand Big Boss Li's character.
He said he doesn't care, but you all really think he doesn't care?
If he can become the world's richest man, he can show off and let the whole world know that he is happy.
If he can't reach the top, he will continue to argue with Forbes. That is almost inevitable.
Li Dong only said it casually, and you all took it seriously.
Yuan Chengdao did not care about them. Yuan Chengdao coughed lightly and started the topic. "General Manager Li, Taobao's financing has entered the formal process.
8 USD per share, 1 billion USD. After the financing, it is valued at 8 billion USD.
This time, Taobao sold 12.5% of their shares in exchange for more than 6.6 billion RMB for development.
Next, according to their financing plan, they will mainly invest in logistics.
Taobao also wants to build their own logistics system.
The newbie logistics from before is likely to be replenished this time … "
Li Dong sneered and said, "Old Ma really doesn't care about his face now. A few days ago, he said that Ali does not deliver goods, and Ali will only develop e-commerce companies. Since he does not deliver goods, then why build a logistics system? This is a slap to his face. I wonder if it hurts! "
No one judged his words. It was normal for big entrepreneurs to be shameless. Li Dong was even more thick-skinned than them. If the eldest brother did not criticize the second brother, why did he have to say such disgusting words?
This is not the first time Li Dong had slapped himself in the face.
Feng Yu had said that he will not sell his retail group shares. What about now?
Feng Yu had introduced so many companies, but he still gave up his shares.
Feng Yu had also said that the retail group will move up north before moving south.
But now?
Feng Yu had given up on the Beijing market and moved south.
This is how the business world is. There is no set plan. If you insist on sticking to your decision, you will not even know how you die.
Adapting to the situation and changing according to the market situation was what a great entrepreneur should do.
As for their reputation, it is not a big deal.
Many big shots are contradicting themselves. Is it because they are not capable?
Or are they not good at organizing their words?
None of them!
That was then, and this is now. Entrepreneurs change with the market and time. What they think now does not mean what they will think in the next moment. There is no need to be serious about this.
Li Dong was just saying this. He continued. "6.6 billion RMB may seem like a lot, but if Taobao invests in newbies, it will not be of much use according to Ma Yun's plan. This time, we did not include newbies. I don't think he is going to invest in newbies. If I am not wrong, he might want to start anew and build a delivery system that belongs to him and Taobao. "
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chengdao immediately smiled and said, "Manager Li, you have a brilliant plan. That should be it. I heard that Ali has recruited the former CEO of Out-of-Home Express, Cheng Ping. Cheng Ping is a senior in the express delivery industry, and Out-of-Home Express used to be the best in the industry. Now that Cheng Ping has joined Ali, and Cheng Ping has been saying that he wants to build an e-commerce delivery system, I think he is preparing for this. "
Yuan Chengdao and Li Dong did not know that when Cheng Ping was in Shenzhen, he was prepared to rely on Li Dong.
But when Li Dong left Shenzhen, and Far away's logistics business was split, he brought in Shunfeng.
Now, Cheng Ping felt that Far away seemed to be too powerful. He did not need to go there, and it was already flourishing.
If he went to Far away, he would not be valued. He would not even have the chance to prove himself.
On the contrary, Ali was being suppressed by Far away.
And Ma Yun had the determination and attitude to counterattack. Cheng Ping thought about it for a long time and finally chose to join Ali.
As a senior in the industry, and a person who had led the company to the peak of the industry, Ali still valued him.
With Cheng Ping's support, Ma Yun felt that he was like a tiger that had grown wings. This time, Taobao's financing, one of Ma Yun's biggest goals was not to fight the money-burning competition Far away.
Instead, it was to complete his own plan, to build Taobao into an impregnable empire. Even if Far away attacked, he would not have to worry about being controlled.
Yuan Chengdao said a few words and said, "As for the merger and acquisition plan for Taobao, there has been no breakthrough progress …"
"That's normal, that's for sure."
Li Dong said matter-of-factly and did not continue the topic. Instead, he looked at Zhang Xiaolong and asked, "How's the situation on WeChat?"
Zhang Xiaolong was much more relaxed than before. He smiled and said, "WeChat has been online for a total of 12 days. As of 9 o 'clock in the morning, it's been 11 days. The total number of downloads is 920,000, and there are 900,000 registered users. And we're all registered with our mobile numbers. It can be said that almost all of us are active users … By the end of the month, I think there should be more than 2.5 million registered users. "
Li Dong glanced at him and said after a while, "Whether it's 250 or not, break it, understand?"
Zhang Xiaolong was a little embarrassed. He did not think so much, but when Li Dong said that, it was a little awkward.
Li Dong said, "Also, how's the progress on Tencent's side?"
Zhang Xiaolong shook his head and said, "The other party is now guarding against us, it's hard to get any inside information. But I heard something. Someone is participating in the closed beta. I think Tencent should be able to follow the trend very soon. "
"It's okay. When they go online, our users will at least exceed a million.
There are only so many 3G users now, and they won't be able to grab many users in a short time.
What's more, they did not dare to use QQ to attract users in the beginning.
If a product that has not been tested by the market uses QQ to attract users on a large scale, and the subsequent development does not go smoothly, it will overdraft QQ's potential.
I think even if Tencent decides to use QQ to attract users, it will be after May at the very least.
So, we don't need to worry about anything in the early stages. "
Everyone nodded. Although Li Dong did not understand these technical aspects, his ability to judge the overall situation was still very strong.
As for Far away, they did not use PP to attract users and import them into the friend system. It was only temporary, at least PP had not opened up its own database to WeChat.
Next, Li Dong asked about Yu 'e Bao's progress.
Yu 'e Bao was still in the process of applying for approval, but there should be news in the next two days. It should not be difficult to get approved.
The preparation took eight to ten days, and in a few days, the three parties would jointly promote it.
This was also a big deal. Far away's funding problem, so everyone was more cautious.
As they chatted, it was almost noon. Suddenly, the conference room became quiet.
Yuan Chengdao saw that Li Dong suddenly stopped talking, and he did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said helplessly, "General Manager Li, why don't we log on to the website to take a look?"
Li Dong had an indifferent look on his face as he casually said, "You people care about these useless things all day long. Forget it, it seems that you are not in the mood to continue the meeting. Take a break and turn on the computer to take a look. Actually, so what if they are first or second? It's not like they can swallow all the other people's money just because they are first … "
He was still nagging, but the others were too lazy to continue the conversation.
Everyone knew who was concerned and who was concerned, and left the boss some face.
