Hangzhou, a five-star hotel.
The media reporters who got the news were already waiting here.
Because today, Ahli, Softwin, Future Group, Fidelity and other institutions and companies will hold a four-party meeting here to discuss Ali's fourth round of financing.
As early as 10 days ago, the news that Lu Yi quietly appeared at Ali's headquarters and shook hands with Teacher Ma and others was circulated on the Internet, causing countless people to speculate.
After digging through industry insiders, some useful information has been unearthed.
Ali Group is in the process of its fourth round of financing.
In May of this year, Teacher Ma appeared in Jiazhou, USA, and met Yang Zhiyuan, one of the founders of Yahu, at a golf course.
Some rather secret gossips were dug out.
Combined with the news from the United States a few days ago, Yang Zhiyuan of Yahu made some remarks in public against Ali and Future Group.
Then everyone came to the conclusion that Yahu was supposed to be involved in Ahri’s fourth round of financing, but was blocked by Future Group.
Now, these remarks have been confirmed.
But no one said that Future Group’s behavior of trying to pry corners was unethical.
After all, there is no morality or immorality in the mall, there is only profit.
Moreover.
Ahri is a star Internet company in China, but what’s going on if all its shareholders are foreign capital?
To this.
Domestic netizens have overwhelming support for Future Group’s investment in Ali.
It didn't take long.
The special car of Lu Yi and his party arrived at the hotel entrance, and the reporters standing outside suddenly went crazy.
As the new richest man in the world, Lu Yi is the undisputed center of attention wherever he goes.
In a hotel, in a conference room.
At this moment, all the agency representatives have arrived.
As the host, Mr. Ma was the first to speak from the C position: "Everyone, we have come up with a rough plan for the fourth round of financing. Fidelity and other investment institutions in the first three rounds will cash out this time." field."
“Our plan is for Future Group to acquire all the shares of Taobao.com held by Yahu for 360 million yuan.
"At the same time, Yahu purchased 27.7 million Ali shares held by several Fidelity institutions for 180 million yuan, which is approximately 9.3% of the equity."
"Future Group will spend another 390 million yuan to acquire the remaining 60 million Ali shares from Fidelity and others, accounting for 23.7% of Ali's equity."
"Future Group will exchange RMB 250 million in gold, Taobao.com's equity, and search engine technology for Ali Group in exchange for Ali issuing an additional 201.6 million shares to Future Group."
Basically, this proposal is no different from the previous proposal for Yahoo to invest in Ali, except that Future Group has replaced Yahoo (ccfj).
This transaction.
Fidelity, Huiya Capital, Ruidian AB Investment Company, TDF and other institutions all cashed out and left.
same.
Although Soft Win did not arbitrage the stocks, it cashed out all the Baowang stocks.
In Ali’s last round of financing, three institutions, Softwin, Fidelity and GGV, invested 82 million yuan in Ali, of which 60 million yuan was separately injected into Taobao.com
Rather than Ali Group, Ruanying is the largest shareholder of Taobao.com.
Now in this fourth round of financing, Ruanying directly sold all Taobao shares it held and directly cashed in 360 million yuan.
As for the Future Group, it will spend 1 billion meters in this financing.
360 million meters of gold will be given to SoftWin, 390 million meters of gold will be given to Fidelity and other investment institutions in the first three rounds, and the final 250 million meters of gold will fall into the pockets of Ali Group.
at the same time.
In the future, the Group will also acquire 40% of the shares of Ali Group and become the largest shareholder of Ali Group!
Neither Softwin nor Fidelity has any problems with this proposal.
Especially the heads of several Fidelity investment institutions, represented by Hoffman, were all smiles.
In the first three rounds of financing, several of their institutions together invested only 32 million rice in Ahli, but now they have directly taken away 570 million rice in cash, a return of 17.8 times. It can be said that they have made a lot of money. What is the problem.
The meeting did not last long. In just one and a half hours, the four parties reached a final agreement.
With the cash-out of several investment institutions such as Fidelity and the entry of Future Group, Ali Group has now formed a three-legged situation of Ali, Future Group and Softwin.
Subsequently.
Sifang held a press conference in the lobby of the hotel to announce the details of Ali’s fourth round of financing.
Soon, the news spread to the Internet, causing heated discussions among countless people.
"According to the information released at the press conference, this time Future Group spent 1 billion yuan to acquire 40% of Ali Group's equity, becoming Ali's largest shareholder in one fell swoop.
"Oh my God, aren't Mr. Ma and the others afraid that Future Group will directly seize the power of the company?"
"There should be some supplementary restriction agreement, otherwise, no founder would not be worried that if he loses his position as the largest shareholder, he may lose control of the company.
"Several Fidelity investment institutions invested a total of 32 million meters in gold in the first three rounds, but now they have taken away 570 million meters in cash. It is simply a money grab."
"Who can make people visionary? They started investing in Ahri Group when it first started. They deserve such a huge return now. After all, without their investment in the first three rounds, Ahri Group would have been able to It is still unknown whether it will be able to develop to the current scale.”
"This time, Ahri's fourth round of financing exceeded 1 billion meters of gold. As a result, only 250 million meters of gold fell into the pockets of Ali Group. Most of it was taken away by those foreign investment institutions."
"This time Future Group has taken advantage of Yahu. I wonder how Yahu will feel when he sees this news tomorrow.
"Those who are not of my race must have different intentions. I think it is much better for the Future Group to invest in Ahli than the Tuihu Group to invest in Ahli."
"Haha, Teacher Ma should think so too. After all, Yahu is a foreign company, while Future Group is a domestic company.
On the Internet, netizens, industry insiders, brick-and-mortar and other groups have all expressed their opinions on this matter.
For a while.
Ali's fourth round of financing directly shot to the top of the Weibo hot search list and became the focus of heated discussion.
at the same time.
The next day, the news reached North America.
When Yang Zhiyuan woke up early in the morning, he saw news on the signings reprinted by major mainstream financial media in North America on the Internet. He was so angry that his nose became crooked.
Immediately.
He picked up the phone and called Meg Whittle, the current CEO of eBay.
"Okay! We Yahu agreed to your proposal!"
This is what Yang Zhiyuan said.
Ten days ago, he called Mr. Ma to accuse him, but he was very angry. At that time, he said that the matter was not over yet.
Afterwards, he kept his promise and directly contacted eBay's senior management and expressed his willingness to support eBay.
It's just that eBay Lion opened his mouth and proposed conditions that Yang Zhiyuan didn't agree to immediately.
Now.
It was a foregone conclusion that Future Group would replace Yahu and acquire shares in Ahli. All Yang Zhiyuan's fantasies were shattered, so he didn't think much about it and directly agreed to eBay's request.
As long as Ahri can be defeated, the bite he received now will be earned back sooner or later.
So that day.
