As the July 18th Charity Night approached, the internet was once again in an uproar.
This time, the East Star Charity Night would be streamed live on PP and QQ Video.
Netizens would be able to understand the specific situation of the charity night.
Moreover, they could even be one of the participants of the night and conduct online charity auctions.
In fact, Far away was not the first e-commerce mall to do online auctions.
As early as a few years ago, Ebay had also done online charity auctions.
However, back then, the internet environment and the online shopping market were very small. There were probably not many people who really remembered and participated in it.
Unlike now, with the promotion of the mobile app Far away and the hot sales of OPPO smartphones, there were more and more 3G users …
Today's internet had to include the mobile internet.
Moreover, the day before July 18th, Far away would launch a new mall app that was more suitable for the current mobile terminal.
Far away was also doing a test for November 11th to see if the hardware conditions could meet the needs of large-scale mobile internet transactions.
In the next few months, Far away would do some improvements and development to strive to create a miracle on November 11th.
And this miracle might have a lot to do with the mobile internet.
Mobile shopping, anytime, anywhere, this would be a sign that the online shopping market had entered the golden age.
Before May 1st, the eve of the war between Far away and Tencent, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released data that Hua Xia's 3G users had exceeded the 40 million mark.
In the end, a few days later, on May 4th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology once again released data that 3G users had reached 50 million!
At that time, Ma Huateng predicted that Hua Xia's 3G users might exceed 100 million in June.
Now, it was already July.
Ma Huateng's prediction was a little exaggerated. In June, Hua Xia's 3G users had slightly slowed down. It was not until July 3rd that Hua Xia's 3G users had exceeded 100 million.
However, breaking a hundred million was breaking a hundred million. A few days' difference was nothing.
The key was that 3G users had actually exceeded 100 million!
From the official implementation of the 3G standard on New Year's Day to July 3rd, only six months had passed. From zero to 100 million in six months, it was a terrifying explosion.
In his previous life, Hua Xia's 3G users exceeded 100 million in the second half of 2011.
This time, it was a full two years ahead of schedule!
Many of the current 3G users were actually promoted by Far away. Almost all smartphones had Far away applications.
In other words, the new 100 million users were all customers Far Away.
These 100 million people were able to buy smartphones at this time because many of them were familiar with online shopping and had even done so before.
If the mobile platform could explode, even if only half of the population participated, there would be 50 million users. If the average consumption reached 100 yuan, that would be 5 billion in sales.
Actually, during the event, the average consumption of 100 yuan per person was not considered high. In fact, it was very low.
Once the per capita consumption reached 200 yuan, it meant that the mobile terminal could generate 10 billion yuan in sales.
Was that even possible?
Far away's database and network construction, including logistics, could they support this scale?
There were only so many mobile devices. PC was still the mainstream market, and there would only be more. It was possible that there would be several times more mobile devices.
Perhaps this year, Far Away Mall could really create a legend and myth that no one else could surpass.
The event on July 18th was also a test, a market research activity.
Although this time, the scale of Far away's July 18th event was not considered big, and the publicity was not as intense as before. It was even shortened to a day.
But Far away still attached great importance to this promotional event.
…
Some people cared about the charity night. Some people cared about the promotion day on July 18th.
Lin 'an.
Ma Yun attached great importance to all of them.
This time's charity night, Ma Yun smelled something unusual.
Although he still did not know the specific inside story, Ma Yun sensed that this time's July 18th might be a little different from last year's.
And what made Ma Yun even more concerned was that this time's July 18th promotion, Far away actually did not have a promotional month.
If other malls did not have one, Ma Yun might feel that these malls could not withstand the pressure of a month's event.
But Far away could have this event a few years ago. There was no reason why it could not be done now.
What was the reason that made Far away give up this promotional month that they had created by themselves?
Did Li Dong feel that it was not necessary, or did he feel that a promotional month was not too reasonable?
After thinking for a long time, Ma Yun finally said, "Let's talk about it during the charity night. This year, I have been to Pingchuan a lot. I can't remember how many times I have been there. Since Li Dong appeared in Pingchuan, it has almost become a gathering place for businessmen."
When saying this, Ma Yun said somewhat self-deprecatingly, "A few days ago, there was a proposal from the Jiangzhe government. They hoped to organize a larger-scale Internet conference in Jiangzhe. They did not name it as the Hua Xia Internet Conference, but defined it as a worldwide Internet conference forum. In the end, even the government felt that it was a little inappropriate. They actually suggested that I let Far away participate and become one of the planners. I even thought that Ali could take on this heavy responsibility. In the end, even the local government was not confident. Now the days are getting harder and harder. "
Ma Yun was really a little helpless. It was not a lie to say that the days were getting harder.
Ever since Tencent was dealt with, in everyone's eyes, Ali was Far Away's next target.
And how long could Ali hold on?
Yes, as long as he could hold on, not Far Away.
The Jiangzhe government was preparing to organize a worldwide Internet conference. Originally, they wanted to let Ali be the middleman.
But when they thought about it, Ali's influence seemed to have weakened a lot. Far Away would have been more or less the same.
But if Far Away really wanted to organize it, it would only be Jiangbei. Therefore, in the end, this matter was left unsettled.
There was no reason for the Jiangzhe government to increase the political achievements of Jiangbei.
Jiangzhe's side gave up, but this was a major blow to Ma Yun. Ever since Ali was listed in Xiangjiang, it had been glorious. It was the number one Internet company in Hua Xia and the second Internet company in Asia by market value …
All of a sudden, everyone was proud of Ali.
The local government even treated Ali as a treasure.
In Jiangzhe, in order to help Taobao promote online shopping and promote the development of e-commerce, they even gave a lot of policies.
One of them was that in Lin 'an, those who opened online stores at home could even get government subsidies!
This kind of policy for enterprises could be said to be the government's greatest support for enterprises.
If one opened an online store at home and received government subsidies, this kind of good thing also made the number of third-party businesses in Taobao increase a lot in an instant.
But the good times did not last long. With Ali's withdrawal from the market, Tencent was defeated. Far Away was eyeing Ali's e-commerce business covetously. Even the Jiangzhe government felt that Ali might not be a match for Far Away.
There was no other way. Far Away was too strong.
If they really kept chasing Ali, it would not be surprising that Ali would end up like Tencent.
Regarding this, although Ma Yun understood, he did not blame anyone. But he still felt a little upset in his heart.
In addition, in the past two years, Pingchuan went from an insignificant central city to an important area for countless people. This was also a fact.
Nowadays, which of the big entrepreneurs in Hua Xia had not been to Pingchuan?
Some people did not know how many trips to Pingchuan in a year.
Ma Yun lamented. Cai Chongxin did not have the time to lament about this. He continued his own topic, "Yahoo has not been causing trouble for us recently. They also did not talk to us about the buyback. Of course, there will be no financial support. I have communicated with Yahoo a few times. I'm afraid the situation is not too good. "
Yahoo was causing trouble, Ma Yun and the others were unhappy. Now that they were not causing trouble, Cai Chongxin still said that the situation was not good. Most people might not understand, but Ma Yun understood.
Ma Yun snorted with slight disdain and said coldly, "I think they want to become the second MIH!"
Everyone saw the battle of Tencent Far Away not long ago.
In fact, there was only one loser, and that was Ma Huateng!
Everyone else did not lose, including MIH and the other investment institutions.
MIH used their shares in Tencent to exchange for 10% of New Tencent Group's shares and nearly 5.8 billion HKD in cash.
Did MIH suffer a loss?
According to the previous market value of Tencent, at its peak, MIH held 750 million shares, which was worth nearly 60 billion HKD.
Now, 10% of New Tencent Group's shares was worth 54 billion HKD?
After the restructuring, Tencent was worth 540 billion HKD?
If it was less than 540 billion HKD, then MIH suffered a loss.
540 billion HKD, when converted to USD, was more than 70 billion USD. Also, Tencent had not issued new shares yet. Once the new shares were issued, MIH would not make a profit without a market value of 80 billion USD.
However, compared to the previous Tencent, which was always facing attacks from Far Away, MIH felt more secure after the restructuring of New Tencent Far Away even if it had a market value of 50 billion USD.
After all, after the restructuring, Tencent was the real number one. There were no longer pursuers behind them, and they did not have to worry about it anymore.
If they wanted to hold on to it for a long time, Far Away was naturally more secure.
After the restructuring, could New Tencent reach a market value of 50 billion USD?
In many people's opinion, this was not difficult.
After the resumption of trading, Tencent's share capital could reach more than 60 HKD. According to the Far Away plan, 1 billion shares would be added, and the total share capital would be 6 billion shares. The market value would reach 360 billion HKD, which was almost 50 billion USD.
After the resumption of trading, could Tencent reach 60 HKD per share?
This was almost certain!
On the last day of trading suspension, Tencent's share price skyrocketed to 55 HKD.
No matter how much Far Away's share price would be after the resumption of trading, people in the industry were almost certain that it would not be lower than 50 HKD.
Maybe on the first day, the new Tencent Group's market value will reach 50 billion USD, and that's not certain.
Was anyone willing to pay?
Yes!
Too many people were willing to pay for it!
Therefore, MIH did not suffer a loss this time. Maybe following Far Away would have a better future than Tencent.
It was not a maybe. In everyone's opinion, Far Away definitely had a better future.
Under such circumstances, MIH did not become the loser this time. In that crisis, MIH did not suffer a huge loss, so it was the winner.
Now, Ali's situation was the same as Tencent's.
When Taobao raised funds last time, many people actually hoped to become an institution like MIH.
Now, even Yahoo had the same idea.
When Far Away attacked Ali, they would act according to the situation.
If MIH could reach an agreement with Far Away, they could do it too.
Instead of following Ali in fear, it was better to seek refuge in a faraway place. It would be safer.
Of course, Yahoo did not say these out loud. But now, they did not cause trouble and did not talk about the buyback. Even when Ma Yun said he wanted to set up a partnership system, Yahoo did not object too much.
From this situation, Feng Yu could tell something.
That was why Cai Chongxin felt that the current Yahoo was in more danger compared to them causing trouble.
Once Far Away was competing with Ali, and Yahoo betrayed them, Ali would be in big trouble.
Ma Yun said that Ali wanted to be the second MIH, and Cai Chongxin did not refute. He even asked worriedly. "What if Yahoo betrays them? What about Softbank?"
Ma Yun's face turned green. After a while, he said. "Then we cannot lose!
If we lose once, these people will betray us.
We cannot carry out the buyback plan now.
The company does not have money, and the investors are more optimistic about Far Away. Before Far Away defeated Tencent, there were still people who were optimistic about us. They felt that we have the chance to suppress Far Away.
But after Far Away won Tencent and gained the world's largest user base, fewer and fewer people are optimistic about us.
Many people are hoping that we will be their springboard to Far Away.
These investors, including Yahoo and Softbank, are all mercenaries. We should have known this a long time ago.
That's why we can only go on smoothly. We must suppress Far Away and even counterattack Far Away. We cannot lose!
If we lose once, Tencent will suffer the same fate as us! "
When Taobao was raising funds, Li Dong had said this to Yuan Chengdao. At that time, Li Dong was prepared to defeat Ali once.
Just once, Ali's investors will lose their confidence in Ali.
In fact, Distance Media's defeat of Tencent had also created such an atmosphere for Distance Media and increased its bargaining chips.
At that time, Ma Yun did not see it.
But now, if he still could not see it, he would be a fool.
At this moment, even Ma Yun did not know if this was an unintentional situation or Li Dong had created it.
If it was created by Li Dong, it means that Li Dong had been plotting against Ali for a long time.
Every time he thought of this, Ma Yun felt disappointed. Li Dong was more terrifying than he thought.
It would be a lie to say that this situation was not created by Li Dong on purpose.
Back then, during Taobao's financing reception, Li Dong should have had such a plan. It was also that financing reception that caused Ali's two investors to waver, and Far Away had actually given them a potential promise.
The current Ali looked more stable than Tencent, but in fact, he was more dangerous than Tencent.
He could win or draw, but he could not lose!
7. 18. There was no movement from Fang Xingjian's side. What were they planning?
Far Away, which aspect would they use as a breakthrough to attack Ali?
Internet finance or e-commerce?
Ma Yun thought about it and got a little distracted. In the end, he suddenly said, "I still have to make a trip to Pingchuan, I have to go. Although Li Dapao liked to reveal some information in advance, what he said was always vague. The last time he talked to me about Internet finance, he actually did not say much. This time, I will go and find out more. This guy, if I praise and provoke him, he will talk more, and it will be easy to get some information out of him. I suspect that if he were to make a move, it would be this year, or even in September! "
"It can't be that bad, right?"
Cai Chongxin said subconsciously, because September was very important to Ali.
September 10th, the day of Ali's tenth anniversary celebration.
If they were attacked by Far Away in September and defeated in September, it would be a big joke.
The tenth anniversary celebration would become the anniversary of their death, and no one would be able to bear such a blow.
If Li Dong were to really make a move in September, not only would he destroy Ali, but he would also have the intention to destroy Ma Yun.
After all, the corporation that he had built up with his own hands was destroyed on the tenth anniversary. No matter how ambitious the founder was, he would have to sink for a few years.
At Ma Yun's age, how many years would he have to sink for?
If he was defeated on the tenth anniversary, would he still have the intention to make a comeback like Ma Huateng?
