On Monday morning, Fu Jun rushed to Jiangcheng. He, Yang Yi, and Lanzhou Kai were at Lanzhou Kai's private clubhouse. They were drinking tea and talking about the future development of Sahara Online Mall.
Now, Fu Jun was also a big name in the technology world that was closely watched by the media and the political business world. His every move also affected the nerves of many people.
However, Fu Jun was better than Yang Yi. Yang Yi was a celebrity in the entertainment circle. There were paparazzi following him. If Yang Yi didn't deliberately shake them off, all of his whereabouts would probably be exposed. At least, Fu Jun didn't deliberately show off and didn't participate in public activities. There were no paparazzi following him every day.
…
"Old Fu, why does the leader over there have such a long reach? Does the ownership of a company have to come to you? "Lanzhou Kai asked curiously.
He was talking about the issue of whether Sahara Online Mall should acquire "Wan Jia Yi Online Mall"!
Wan Jia Yi Online Mall was founded by Zhu Wang, the owner of a large-scale supermarket chain called Wang Jia Supermarket in the western and northern parts of Guangdong Province. He had a good eye and saw the online shopping craze brought about by Sahara Online Mall.
Moreover, Zhu Wang was a person with a little idea. He organized his supermarket's suppliers — a group of small factories and workshops, and set up Wan Jia Yi Online Mall in a hurry.
If Yang Yi paid attention at that time, he would have realized that Wan Jia Yi was actually following the route of Taobao!
It was interesting to say that Sahara Online Mall was a bit like a large-scale, more rich online supermarket. This online mall set up by the supermarket boss was following the route of a shopping mall — it provided "shops" for other factories and small workshops to set up stalls.
Logically speaking, such a model had the possibility of success! Moreover, when Wan Jia Yi Online Mall was set up, they followed Sahara Online Mall and advertised everywhere in the country. Therefore, it attracted Fu Jun's attention!
It was a pity that Wan Jia Yi Online Mall's publicity was in a hurry, but the service was a mess! After all, it was an online mall set up by a group of outsiders. Moreover, Zhu Wang didn't really want to do this business. He was more interested in the industry. The online mall was just a small side business that he wanted to make a profit and throw it to the venture capital.
Therefore, with the support of the local government, Wan Jia E-Buy Online Shopping Mall recruited many graduate programmers from Guangdong Province's universities and created an online shopping mall that lacked service. It also attracted a large number of small enterprises to join in and many local people in Guangdong Province to buy it.
However, unprofessional issues were quickly exposed. The web interface was unreasonable, the payment model was difficult, the logistics delivery was seriously lagging, the customer service was indifferent, and so on. A lot of negative news was exposed by the media at the end of last year.
Many netizens even went to the Sahara Online Mall's product reviews to complain about Wan Yi after they were cheated.
Therefore, Fu Jun didn't take it to heart when he saw that EBay online shopping mall didn't pose a threat to the Sahara online shopping mall.
It wasn't until a few days ago that it was mentioned again.
It turned out that at the end of December, when it was time to pay wages and bonuses to the workers, some factories couldn't stand it any longer and blocked the entrance of Wan Jia Yi's online shopping mall and Wang Jia Supermarket's headquarters.
However, what stunned them was that Big Boss Zhu Wang, who had personally called them a week ago and promised that he would definitely solve the problem, had actually escaped abroad and disappeared without a trace!
What disappeared with him was his family who had emigrated overseas, as well as the transaction fee and deposit of up to one billion …
As Fu Jun sipped his tea, he told the story to Yang Yi and Lan Zhou Kai. After all, he wasn't the person involved, so he could easily describe it. "This incident before the New Year caused a huge commotion in Guangdong Province. Many people ran to the province and the higher-ups to report it to the government. They wanted the government to give them an explanation. Anyway, this year, several bosses in Guangdong Province had a hard time. Fortunately, this incident was suppressed by the media and dealt with in a low-key manner. "
"What are they going to do now?" Lanzhou Kai asked. "Auction off Zhu Wang's Wan Jia Yi Online Mall and his Wang Jia Supermarket? If it's Wang Jia Supermarket, the land under it is very particular! "
Lanzhou Kai was indeed in the real estate business. He immediately thought of the key point.
"Wang Jia Supermarket is out of the question. Last month, the bank auction was just finished. The boss of Hailong Supermarket in Eastern Guangdong Province got 750 million yuan of liquid capital and bought all the debts of Wang Jia Supermarket and Wang Jia Supermarket!" Fu Jun waved his hand and said with emotion.
"Hey, why didn't you say so earlier?" Lanzhou Kai felt sorry. He was very interested in the real estate market in Guangdong Province. Wang Jia Supermarket could be said to be a good entry ticket.
Fu Jun complained. How could he have time to know what happened in Northwest Guangdong? What's more, it was not in the same industry as him. Fu Jun only knew that Wang Jia Supermarket had been bought when someone talked to him about it a few days ago.
"Now, what's the price of Wan Jia Yi?" Yang Yi thought for a while, looked at Fu Jun and said, "Since Wang Jia Supermarket bought it for 750 million yuan, Wan Jia Yi shouldn't be too expensive, right? And … they only came to us now. Could it be that Wan Jia Yi can't sell it? "
The online shopping craze caused by the Sahara online shopping mall had spawned countless e-commerce companies. However, this bubble had gradually burst in the past two years. Countless companies that did not have the strength and could not grab the cake had been eliminated. Ebay was not the first, nor would it be the last.
Under this background, even the investors who were jealous of the Sahara Online Mall's popularity had to think carefully before making a decision.
"Actually, there are still people who want to take over Wan Jia Yi. But there are two main reasons why it has been delayed until now. " Fu Jun explained to Yang Yi, "On the one hand, there are people who want to take over. Their identities are very complicated. Some of them specialize in venture capital, and some of them are traditional manufacturing companies who want to enter the Internet business. They have one thing in common. They only want the brand and website of Wan Jia Yi. They don't want to bear the debt of up to 400 million yuan that has not been settled yet …"
This was the result of the debt that had been offset by part of the money from the Wang Jia Supermarket auction.
"400 million yuan? How can it be so much? " Lanzhou Kai frowned and asked, "The Wan Jia Yi you mentioned is not worth 100 million yuan, right?"
"Yes, Wan Jia Yi is not worth 100 million yuan. Someone told me that the highest bidder wanted to take over Wan Jia Yi with 60 million yuan. Since Wan Jia Yi is only worth 60 million yuan, who wants to bear the debt of 400 million yuan? " Fu Jun smiled bitterly and said, "You may not know this, but Zhu Wang is really crazy. He asked many manufacturers to freeze the deposits in their accounts. He asked for an exorbitant amount, from two hundred thousand yuan to one million yuan. He also promised others that the more deposits they paid, the more promotion resources the website would give them."
Obviously, at that time, Zhu Wang wanted to get a sum of money and leave!
Wan Jia Yi was strongly supported by the government of Northwest Guangdong. In the past two years, there were close to a thousand manufacturers and small workshops from Guangdong that had opened stores on Wan Jia Yi.
Moreover, Zhu Wang probably wanted to wait until there were ten thousand companies that joined and collected billions of deposits before he left. Unfortunately, Wan Jia Yi did not last that long.
Therefore, when Zhu Wang left, he had no choice. The money that he took away, after deducting the assets of Wang Jia Supermarket, probably did not make more than a few hundred million yuan.
"That's true. I don't think anyone would be so stupid to spend more than 400 million yuan for a 60 million yuan Wan Jia Yi." Lanzhou Kai shook his head. He felt that this business was not worth it.
Yang Yi did not say anything yet. He looked at Fu Jun and waited for him to finish explaining the reason why Wan Jia Yi had dragged on until now.
"Secondly, Guangdong Province still wants to support small and micro enterprises. They hope that these traditional businesses will not be affected by this incident and will not dare to use the internet. The government had discussed with them, and they also hope that Wan Jia Yi can continue to operate. After all, Wan Jia Yi had brought them a lot of benefits in the past, and their turnover had increased a lot. Of course, they still have to protect their interests. "Fu Jun told Yang Yi.
Yang Yi's understanding of Taobao was mostly from his experience in China during the last few years of his previous life. As he rarely went out, he often used other people's accounts to buy things he needed.
But he knew that although Taobao did not have a good reputation, it had built a great business platform! For those manufacturers in traditional industries, for those individual operators, it provided the Internet path to riches …
So, when Yang Yi heard what Fu Jun said, he could not help but admire the foresight of the Guangdong Province's officials. Regardless of everything else, their foresight was right on this matter!
"My wife's cousin was transferred to the Business Office this month." In the end, Fu Jun paused for a moment. His expression became slightly serious as he talked about the key point of this matter. "Actually, someone behind this has considered my relationship with him …"
Fu Jun's wife's cousin, who was the person behind Fu Jun, had a close relationship with a leader. Now, someone wanted to take over the business from Guangdong Province's leading online shopping company, Sahara Online Shopping Mall. So, he was transferred to the Business Office.
So, now that Fu Jun knew about this matter, there was an additional complicated political factor in the consideration of whether to take over the business.
"They didn't let us take over the business for nothing. Wan Jia Yi will be ours as long as we bear the debt of four hundred million yuan. Moreover, the deposit of four hundred million yuan will continue to be in our account. Even if a business withdraws halfway, they will have to wait for three years before they can withdraw the deposit. "Fu Jun stated the conditions given by the other party.
In other words, Sahara Online Shopping Mall could take over Wan Jia Yi for free …
"But it's still a loss! One is sixty million yuan, and the other is four hundred million yuan. " Lanzhou Kai frowned, then turned to Yang Yi. "Yang Yi, what do you think about this?"
Lanzhou Kai trusted Yang Yi's judgment more when it came to the internet.
