MTL - Since 2000-Chapter 89 : a godsend
3721's sky-high deal with Yahoo shocked the Internet world, but it was only the beginning of the 2003 Internet event.
I don't know when, rumors that eBay is about to fully control eBay for $150 million also began to spread.
The reporter went to the magic capital for verification, but Shao Yibo, the president of eBay, neither admitted nor refuted it.
Shao Yibo's ambiguous attitude made people even more curious.
If eBay and eBay really reach an agreement, then they will set a record for the highest amount of transactions between 3721 and Yahoo, becoming China's largest Internet transaction.
Huaxia Internet is frequently favored by foreign forces, which has also stimulated a group of young people to resolutely invest in this booming industry.
But for the elderly in the Internet industry, too many Chinese Internet companies are controlled by foreign capital, which is not a good thing.
Ma Yun had not slept well for several days.
Others only regarded the news of eBay's acquisition of eBay as a rumor, but he knew that Shao Yibo had reached an agreement with the United States on some details, and when the transaction was completed depends on when Shao Yibo can make up his mind.
It is well known that eBay has great ambitions in China's e-commerce market. They not only have a global business presence, but also have extensive experience in major sectors of e-commerce.
The most terrifying thing is that if they acquire eBay, they can easily form a global trade circle around China, a big production country, which will have a fatal impact on Alibaba's B2B business.
"Let's start the C2C plan." Ma Yun said to Cai Chongxin next to him.
The C2C trading platform named Taobao has been created as early as half a month ago, but Ma Yun has been hidden. In addition to wanting to observe the situation for a while, he also wants to wait for the most favorable time. Let Taobao go online, but now it seems that he can't wait any longer.
Cai Chongxin nodded slightly.
Although it is indeed relatively hurried to go online now, there is no way to do this.
Ma Yun is good at building momentum. If you wait for a suitable time and use some opportunities to build momentum for Taobao's launch, it would be better.
It's just that 3721 merged with Yahoo, and then eBay invested in eBay. What news in the Internet world can overwhelm them?
"Would you like to come again like last time?" Cai Chongxin asked in a low voice.
Ma Yun frowned slightly.
Cai Chongxin was talking about the last time he held a strategic alliance press conference with 168 and Tencent in Kyoto. At that time, eBay had just obtained an investment from eBay, and the outside world was bad at Alibaba.
At that time, Ma Yun was in desperate need of an eye-catching event to show off his muscles, so he took the lead in organizing this conference.
But at that time, the sensation caused by eBay's investment in eBay was far from the same as the two incidents now. I could use the popularity of 168 and Tencent to grab attention that day, but can I do it now?
Ma Yun shook her head slightly.
Unless there is a major change in 168 or Tencent.
It's just that those two companies have been so flat this year, what big moves can they make?
With the actions of 3721 and eBay, not only the performance of several other companies invested by Lin Fengji has been flat, but they have also fallen into their own crisis.
168's Yisou is about to suffer the double impact of Yahoo and Google, Tencent is struggling under the pressure of UC, and Alibaba is in such a situation again.
At this time, I'm afraid they can't count on them.
Thinking of this, Ma Yun sighed softly.
When Ma Yun was about to let Cai Chongxin announce the order of Taobao online in a low-key manner, he received an unexpected call.
"Hello Mr. Ma."
"Hello Mr. Ma."
The two horses' identical greetings surprised each other for a moment, and then the two couldn't help laughing.
"Why does Mr. Ma have time to call me?" Ma Yun asked with a smile.
Ma Huateng on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Is there anything I can ask you for?"
Ma Yun was stunned, and then asked: "I can't talk about advice. If Mr. Ma needs it, I will be waiting for you at any time."
Ma Huateng said: "We Tencent are preparing to launch a QQ game. Didn't I ask you for your experience in media marketing?"
"You also want to launch new products?" Ma Yun said in surprise.
"Yes." Ma Huateng asked suspiciously: "Why, Mr. Ma also has products to be put on the shelves?"
There was a hint of bitterness at the corner of Ma Yun's mouth.
As usual, this is a good bundled marketing model, but now, I am afraid that even if it is bundled with Tengxu's QQ game, it is destined to have little effect.
Ma Yun smiled bitterly and said, "As you know, the media's attention has been attracted by Yahoo China and eBay recently. It is really difficult for us to attract their attention."
Ma Huateng on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment, and then slowly asked, "Let's just pull 168 together like last time?"
Ma Yun shook her head.
"The topic is not enough. 168 has not made any big moves since the launch of free games this year. I am afraid that even if the three of us are united, it will be difficult to attract the attention of the media and netizens."
"168's action isn't big enough this time?" Ma Huateng on the other end of the phone asked in surprise.
Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously, "What's going on at 168 recently? Did they launch another game?"
Listening to Ma Yun's words, Ma Huateng was convinced that Ma Yun didn't know about this.
That's right, Lin Feng's actions have been secretly going on underground. If he hadn't called him the day before yesterday, I'm afraid he would have been kept in the dark.
Thinking of this, Ma Huateng smiled and said, "Isou and Baidu are about to merge, is this a big move?"
"What? What did you say?" Ma Yun said in shock: "Isou and Baidu are about to merge?"
Ma Huateng said: "The negotiations between 168 and Baidu are ongoing, and the results are expected to be released by the end of this month."
Listening to the silence on the other end of the phone, Ma Huateng smiled slightly. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
When I heard the news, I was also so shocked. Every time Lin Feng's actions, wasn't that a big deal?
"Is the news accurate? Why haven't I heard of this?" Ma Yun asked softly after a long time.
"I personally heard what Mr. Lin said, and the information is absolutely accurate." Ma Huateng thought for a while, and then continued: "Their negotiations are all carried out underground, so before the matter comes to nothing, please keep it a secret. ."
"Secret?" Ma Yun murmured, "Why keep such a big hype opportunity secret?"
Thinking of this, Ma Yun hurriedly asked: "You said that the result of this matter will be obtained before the end of the month?"
Ma Huateng nodded: "Lin always said that."
The crow's feet on Ma Yun's forehead instantly stretched out.
"This is a godsend," Ma Yun murmured.
"Hurry up and book a flight to Edong for me."
