Ali's tenth anniversary was overshadowed by the news of Li Dong's daughter becoming the richest woman in the world.
However, Ali's tenth anniversary was not just a celebration.
On the same day, Ali's Global Express, which had been prepared for a long time, was launched at the same time.
Global Express was actually an international version of Taobao in disguise.
However, due to certain reasons, Ali had created another Global Express platform, mainly for overseas buyers, while the domestic market was mainly for small and medium-sized sellers.
On the tenth anniversary, although not many people were paying attention, and Ma Yun was also affected, he still said what needed to be said.
Opening up Global Express was one point.
In addition, the logistics system that Ali had prepared had officially started operation. This was the first time that Ali had built its own complete logistics system, instead of relying on other partners.
However, due to the scale, Ali's logistics was currently only open to Tmall's business, and it could not support third-party businesses for the time being.
Just as Ali's own logistics was launched, Ali also gradually closed Tmall's interface to third-party logistics.
This also meant that Ali's B2C system had achieved internal operations, eliminating the influence of third-party logistics.
Although not many people were paying attention to Ali's anniversary, it did not mean that no one was paying attention.
As soon as Ali's various actions were released, professional media reported, pointing out that this was Ali's change from offense to defense.
Previously, despite being oppressed by Far away, Ali had been attacking with great momentum, and Ali did not admit defeat.
However, at this time, Ali, who previously said that he did not want to do his own logistics, and only wanted to cultivate more Far away Ali, could no longer say such words.
Ali began to set up logistics and began to operate in the overseas market. In the eyes of the outside world, it seemed like Ali's expansion, but in fact, it was to eliminate Far away's hostility towards them, and the possible impact Far away's logistics might have on Ali.
Ali's new policy seemed to be expanding, but it was actually conservative, mainly for defense.
Other than these changes, on the same day, Ali also announced the establishment of Ant Financial Co., Ltd.
The Alipay business that was previously taken out was merged into Ant Finance.
Previously, due to domestic policy restrictions, Alipay was separated by Ma Yun and was not included in Ali's system.
At this moment, the independent company was actually controlled by Ma Yun and some of Ali's senior executives.
Moreover, this time, Ant Financial was established with an additional shareholder — Suning!
Far away Finance had obtained a consumer finance license. In the consumer sector, Far Away Finance had an absolute advantage, and the scale of consumer loans continued to expand.
Ma Yun wasn't stupid. He had already seen the potential danger.
After considering for a while, Ma Yun chose to cooperate with Suning. He decided to obtain a consumer finance license as well, once again weakening the influence Far away had on Ali.
Zhang Jindong of Suning also felt the pressure. Although Gome hadn't expanded recently, with the Far away system, it still had a great impact on Suning.
In the end, the two sides hit it off.
Suning obtained 20% of Ant Financial's shares with a small amount of cash and a series of conditions, such as Alipay entering Suning's Tesco.
The other company, Jingdong, who had been ready to take advantage of it, was excluded this time.
Liu Qiangdong wanted to take advantage of it, but last time, Ma Yun and the others knew that Li Dong had seen through them, so they didn't want to take advantage of Jingdong anymore. After all, Jingdong was still weak. In Ma Yun's opinion, it was better to support Big Tmall than to have the time and energy to support Jingdong.
On September 10th, Ali made a lot of moves.
Under the cover of the news of Li Dong's daughter, some other business events also happened at the same time.
In the Internet industry, Google announced that it would withdraw from the mainland market of Hua Xia and move its search headquarters to Hong Kong.
At this time, the key to Google's decision was the Hua Xia market. Google's scale had been repeatedly compressed and it was difficult for it to survive.
Last time, Baidu supported Far Away and forced Tencent to give in.
After that, in order to repay Baidu, Far Away gave Baidu a lot of support in various fields.
On Baidu's side, in August, it officially launched the Phoenix Nest system.
Although it was questioned at first, after a few days of operation, the outside world felt that it was much better than the previous bidding model. Then, Baidu's stock price soared.
With Far Away's support, Baidu, which previously had more than 70% of the market share in Hua Xia's search business, had reached 80% in September.
This series of reasons finally made the senior management of Google decide to withdraw from the mainland market of Hua Xia.
In Hua Xia's mainland, they could no longer compete with Baidu.
With the withdrawal of its biggest competitor, Baidu's stock price rose again on Nasdaq.
Previously, when Weibo went public, many people felt that spring had come for the IT industry. Many international investors were very optimistic about the IT industry, especially the IT industry of Hua Xia.
Although this time, Google was defeated by itself, in the eyes of the outside world, it was still defeated by Baidu.
Not long after Google's announcement, Baidu's stock price broke the 300 USD mark.
Actually, Baidu had reached this price last year, or rather, from the end of 2007 to the beginning of 2008. But due to the impact of the financial crisis, and in November 2008, CCTV News criticized Baidu's bidding.
In an instant, Baidu's stock price plummeted.
At its lowest point, Baidu's stock price fell below 120 USD and was approaching the 100 USD mark.
At that time, Li Yanhong asked Li Dong for help, and Li Dong bought 1 million shares of Baidu at 100 USD per share.
Now, less than a year later, Baidu's stock price broke 300 USD, and this means that Li Dong had made a fortune.
Last year, Baidu's stock price was worth 100 million USD, and this year, it broke 300 million USD.
At the same time, Baidu became the third internet company in Hua Xia to break 30 billion USD.
Actually, Baidu had broken through once in the past, but it was very short. Also, it was in the US, and there was not much news about it. Some people even ignored it.
Unfortunately, Tencent and Weibo, Baidu's market value had exceeded 30 billion USD, and not many people cared about it.
September. Although the outside world was still paying attention to Li Dong, the business world, be it the IT industry or the real estate industry, was in turmoil.
… …
East Garden.
Li Dong hugged his daughter and teased her. "I didn't expect Baidu to be the most successful out of the three companies. This is fate. Back then, the first company I invested in was Baidu. Now, Baidu, which I did not think highly of, is doing well because we do not have any business conflicts with them. "
After that, Li Dong said, "I said that Li Yanhong is the Boy of Wealth. Am I right? In less than a year, she had created more than 200% profits for us. It's more than my own investments. "
Shen Qian replied as she sipped on the hot water, "Recently, the investment companies haven't made any investments, but the money keeps rising. No wonder you say that you're not interested in money now. I'm actually the same. In the past, I felt a sense of achievement. Now that he looked at it again, it was really meaningless. OPPO's value is rising, Baidu's share prices are rising, and Tencent's share prices are rising. I did not do anything during my pregnancy. How much money did I make? "
When Shen Qian said this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's said that the rich get richer. It's true."
After Shen Qian finished speaking, Shen Xuehua came in and asked. "You have been so busy recently that I forgot to ask you. How is your investment company doing?"
Since Li Dong announced that Li Le will hold 10% of Far away's shares, and Shen Qian will hold 5%, Shen Xuehua is not worried anymore.
15% of the company's shares is not a small amount.
Moreover, Li Dong is preparing to set up a family trust fund. There will be 20% of the shares, and Shen Qian and Li Le will enjoy part of the profits.
Li Dong is the one who controls the company with 20% of the shares. Otherwise, such a proportion of shares could make Far away the biggest shareholder of such a large company.
The importance that Li Dong placed on his daughter was evident.
Although she has a granddaughter, Shen Xuehua thinks that even if she has a grandson, the treatment will not be as good as now.
Now, Shen Xuehua no longer feels regretful when she sees her child.
Hearing her mother's question, Shen Qian looks at Li Dong. Li Dong smiles and says, "I don't know the details. Qianqian, tell me. After all, I gave you the investment company."
Although Li Dong expanded a lot of things in the investment company later, the company was indeed built by Shen Xuehua and handed over to Shen Qian.
At this time, Shen Xuehua asks about the situation, and Li Dong doesn't mind.
Shen Xuehua couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw that her daughter still had to look at Li Dong when she was asking questions. What's going on? Can't I ask a question?
Raising a daughter is not as good as raising a son.
In the end, she will forget her parents when she has a man!
Thinking about this, Shen Xuehua looks at her granddaughter in Li Dong's arms and grumbles in her heart. She better not learn from her mother in the future.
Shen Qian doesn't think so much. She thinks for a while and says, "The investment company didn't make any big investment plans this year.
But the profits this year are good, mainly from Tencent, OPPO, and Baidu.
Currently, the investment company still owns 20 million shares of Tencent. Tencent's share price is now close to 100 HKD, and it is worth about 1.8 billion RMB.
Baidu has 1 million shares, and based on the current price, it is worth about 2.2 billion RMB.
The investment company holds the most shares of OPPO, with 52% shares, which is worth more than 5 billion RMB. Also, OPPO's value will continue to rise as its market share increases, and it is about to acquire some of Bubu Gao's businesses.
The total value of these three companies is more than 9 billion RMB.
Also, the company still has a lot of cash. So far away from Baidu's debt, it has about 1.5 billion RMB.
Some of the other investments are also seeing returns, and the total value is more than 2 billion RMB.
Adding all the bits and pieces together, the total value of the shares held by the investment company is no less than 13 billion RMB. "
This is after the redemption of East Star's shares, and Li Dong had transferred the money away. Otherwise, the value of the assets held by the investment company would be more than 15 billion RMB, and it might even be close to the 20 billion RMB mark.
At the beginning of this year, when Li Dong went to the company, Shen Qian reported to him that the assets were less than 10 billion RMB.
In less than a year, the value had almost doubled. No wonder Shen Qian said that it was too easy to make money.
Shen Qian said casually, but Shen Xuehua was stunned for a while. After a while, she said, "Is it so easy to do business now?"
When she handed over the assets to Shen Qian, it was about 3 billion RMB.
In the blink of an eye, it had reached 13 billion RMB!
Although Li Dong had filled in a lot of things, at the beginning, it was not worth that much. Now, it had reached 13 billion RMB, which surprised Shen Xuehua.
Moreover, the investment company was now all under her daughter's name.
If the 15% of the shares Far away that her daughter could control were all counted as her daughter's assets, Shen Qian's net worth was close to 130 billion RMB at this time!
The outside world only paid attention to Li Dong's daughter, but subconsciously forgot about Shen Qian.
This woman, who was still in confinement, was the real super-rich woman of Hua Xia.
A net worth of 100 billion RMB, Shen Xuehua had worked hard for so many years, but she had never thought about it.
At this time, Shen Xuehua suddenly felt that talking about money was really meaningless.
In the past, Shen Xuehua actually felt that Shen Qian wanted to keep Li Dong firmly in her hands.
But now, Shen Xuehua suddenly understood her daughter's thoughts.
It was not necessary!
Even without the shares given by Li Dong, with more than 10 billion RMB in her hands, it was more than the accumulation of the Shen family for so many years. Shen Qian herself was a super-rich person.
At this time, no matter how much money was given, it was just a number.
It was better to live a good life and enjoy life.
Just as Shen Xuehua was thinking about this, Li Dong's mobile phone on the coffee table vibrated.
Li Dong looked at it, then carefully handed the child to Shen Qian, picked up the mobile phone and said, "I'm going out to take a call."
Shen Qian nodded.
After waiting for Li Dong to go to the side to answer the phone, Shen Xuehua sighed softly and said, "Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to say. In the future, just live a good life. In the past, I was always worried that you would not have a good life, worrying about this and that. Now looking back, maybe it was all unnecessary. Let him deal with the remaining shares in his hands … "
Shen Qian said softly, "I never thought about this, Mom. Do you think I married him for money?
Maybe he thought so himself, but I don't want to argue about it.
He gave it to me, so I took it and let him feel better.
He always wants to make up for something, but he always does bad things with good intentions.
He feels that he owes us and wants to give us more, but this kind of compensation is not what we want.
Sometimes, to be honest … "
Shen Qian gently shook her daughter and said softly, "To be honest, I wish he could go bankrupt. When he has no money, when he has nothing, maybe he won't think so much, and he won't live so tirelessly. Right now, he's actually very tired of living. I know that. He seems to not care about anything, but in fact, he cares about everything. He cares about everyone's thoughts and feelings. Rather than saying that he lives for himself, it's better to say that he lives for others. Now, I only hope that he can live a little happier in the future, live a little more freely. Even if … "
Shen Qian did not continue. Shen Xuehua glanced at her daughter, and after a while, she said, "Your father and I are old, and we can't control you forever. However, you are married now, and Lele has also been born. For the sake of marriage, for the sake of the children, don't do anything out of line and let your children be criticized. From a mother's point of view, I don't want my daughter to be wronged. As for the rest, Mom can't give you any more advice. "
"Yes, I know …"
As the mother and daughter spoke, Li Dong walked over with his cell phone. As he walked, he said, "There's a call from the company. I haven't been going these days. If I don't go now, it will be a mess. I'm going to the company now, and I might be a little late at night. You don't have to wait for me. "
Shen Qian smiled and said, "You have to go to the company. You don't have to worry about the family, and you don't have to accompany me all day."
Li Dong smiled and lowered his head to kiss his daughter, who was still sleeping soundly. He then said goodbye to Shen Xuehua, put on his coat, and left the house.
