Chapter 3171 Unconventional Competition

On December 12, Shi Jinglin called Zhou Buqi who was far away in Hawaii and said calmly, "It's done."

Zhou Buqi breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. The price and other things are easy to discuss. As long as the acquisition is completed, it will be fine."

Shi Jinglin said softly: "The name of the new company is Fulin-Xiyin."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Very good! Very good! This is the best!"

Shi Jinglin's company is called Fulin, and the acquired company is called Xiyin. The merger of the two companies and the combination of their names will be fair to everyone.

If we can get this done, the cross-border e-commerce business will basically be a success.

Even if we don't sell products such as water cups, hot packs, shoes, and suitcases, relying only on Xiyin's existing resources to sell fast-moving consumer goods women's clothing is enough to expand this business to the world.

Shi Jinglin continued, "After the merger, the original Xiyin shareholders hold 28% of the shares of the new company, Alibaba holds 9.6%, JD.com holds 6.4%, Sequoia holds 8.2%, Ziweixing holds 10.4%, and Temasek holds..."

"None of this matters." Zhou Buqi didn't care about it. "What about you? How much do you have left?"

Shi Jinglin said: "Less than 27%."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "That's enough. This arrangement is good. Maybe in a few years, the world's richest man will be replaced!"

"Ok?"

Shi Jinglin didn't quite react.

Zhou Buqi joked: "You, maybe you can make this business a success and turn it into a new Internet giant. By then, you will be the richest man in the world!"

Shi Jinglin snorted, "Don't come here."

"At least she's the richest woman."

"I don't care whether I'm the richest or not. I'm not like you, with a bunch of wives and children to support."

"You make money to help me support you, we are a family!"

Zhou Buqi's face does not turn red and his heart does not beat.

Shi Jinglin didn't have time to argue with him. "This is the basic situation. I'll send you the detailed materials later. Take a look. If there's no problem, it's settled. We'll sign the contract tomorrow."

Zhou Buqi said, "There are no problems with the legal department, so we can basically sign it. Hurry up and finish that, and you can come here for your vacation. Christmas is coming soon, and we can reunite as a family."

Shi Jinglin said softly, "I understand."

Zhou Buqi remembered something, "By the way, has Li Jun come to see you?"

"I'm here. I met him a few days ago."

Shi Jinglin was no stranger to Li Jun, she had known him when she worked at Ziweixing.

Zhou Buqi said, "He may not be able to keep up with Ziweixing. He can still be competent in your company and you can assign him some important tasks. In the new company, you will be the chairman, but you still need a few trustworthy executives at the business level."

Shi Jinglin said softly, "I know. I have a lot of people. JD's Lao Liu even arranged a vice president for me."

"Old Liu?"

"Ah."

"Stay away from him. If someone shows his affection for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief." Zhou Buqi was very alert. "He has a bad relationship with men and women. I have seen that he is interested in you. Don't give him the chance to get close to you."

Shi Jinglin said angrily: "Do I need you to remind me? You stinky men, just one look at me and I know how disgusting your minds are!"

Zhou Buqi laughed, "I'm not like them!" "I don't want to argue with you." Shi Jinglin didn't bother to mock him, "By the way, do you know about Momo's matter?"

Zhou Buqi said: "What's the matter? I haven't heard about it. I'm on vacation."

Shi Jinglin said angrily, "I think you are stuck in this pile of women and can't get out. You don't even know about such a big thing."

"What happened to Momo?" Zhou Buqi didn't care. "It's just a small company. Even if something big happened, it's still a small matter."

Shi Jinglin said: "If this matter is not handled properly, your beautiful secretaries may unite and rebel."

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was shocked. "Don't exaggerate."

Shi Jinglin asked, "You said you wanted to exchange all your Momo stocks for Alibaba stocks. Have you not done so yet?"

Zhou Buqi said, "No, I'll wait until Momo goes public. After it goes public, there will be a fairer stock price, and then we can sell it as a whole package to Alibaba. I have too many things to worry about, so I'm not very interested in Momo. This kind of stranger communication product has limited vitality in the long run."

"It's about Momo's IPO." Shi Jinglin couldn't do anything about him. He was her man after all, so she could only focus on these bad things. "Momo is going to be listed in the United States, and NetEase suddenly got angry and sued the founder of Momo."

"what?"

Zhou Buqi was very surprised.

Shi Jinglin briefly introduced: "Mr. Tang, the founder of Momo, was the former editor-in-chief of NetEase. NetEase complained that Momo was founded by him using NetEase's resources while he was still in office, and that it was a form of workplace profiteering... Anyway, it was quite confusing."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "This Fatty Ding! What is he doing?"

This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice.

When NetEase employees start their own businesses, if their business overlaps with or competes with NetEase, their old employer will always keep an eye on them and then suddenly attack and cause trouble at critical moments.

NetEase is also developing a stranger communication product called YiXin. It has powerful resources and has directly brought in Telecom to work together.

Because of the involvement of operators, YiXin has a powerful function that neither Momo nor WeChat have. YiXin can directly use the operator's SMS line and send text messages directly to users.

YiXin knows that it cannot rival WeChat in the area of ​​communication among acquaintances.

So I simply chose the stranger track and competed with Momo.

It's a pity that Momo has firmly occupied the stranger communication market by relying on its own connections with more beautiful women. Although YiXin is backed by two giants, NetEase and Telecom, it has never been able to make any progress in the market.

Normal means of competition cannot defeat it.

Then we can only use unconventional means. This kind of thing happens frequently in the domestic Internet field.

But not everyone is as good a person as Lao Zhang.

Many people left Sohu and founded companies that competed directly with Sohu, but Zhang still maintained a good relationship with them and never did anything unseemly. Youku suppressed Sohu Video so badly, but Zhang could still sit with Gu Yongqiang and have a cup of tea and chat, just like in the past.

If Lao Zhang had more gangster habits, Sohu might not have been in such a bad state.

Shi Jinglin said calmly, "This is how it is. You decide what to do. If Momo's IPO is really called off, the Momo stocks you gave to those beautiful secretaries will become worthless. I wonder if any of them will still be loyal to you. If things really get out of hand, I wonder how you, Boss Zhou, can maintain your public image. Young girls today are not as easily fooled by you as we were back then."

Zhou Buqi was not happy about this. "What are you talking about? It's as if I bribed them with money. I conquered them with my own charm, okay?"

Having said that, I can't help but feel a little worried.

After ending the call with Shi Jinglin, he quickly contacted Boss Ma and asked him to take charge of the matter and help Momo resolve it.

After all, Alibaba is Momo’s largest shareholder.
