Chapter 379 Papa Ma's Heart Is Restless
Since Ali's e-commerce business is going to be listed in country M, the entire Ali company is reveling. After all, many of them hold the original shares of Ali. How many times.

But in contrast to the happiness of the others, it was Ma Boss of Ali Company, who was walking around in his office with a sad face.

He did not expect that this year, Ali's development would be so difficult.

This year, the domestic e-commerce landscape has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Ali Company was a well-deserved giant of e-commerce before, and no company could pose a threat to it at all, but with Lin Feng's killing, everything changed.

Boss Ma never imagined that JD.com, which he didn’t care about at the beginning, would reach [-]% of the scale of Ali Company in just one year, and the valuation is also in just one year. , doubled.

When he heard that JD.com wanted to develop its own logistics, he still laughed at Zhang Dong as a fool, but now that JD.com’s logistics network has been built, Boss Ma realizes that he really underestimated the impact of logistics on e-commerce. effect.

As for Dangdang.com, I also came to Boss Ma to invest in it, but Boss Ma felt that Dangdang.com’s business was too simple. If it was just selling books, how could it make money, so he didn’t invest in Dangdang.com at the beginning.

But now, even if Boss Ma wants to invest in Dangdang.com again, there is no door left.

Boss Ma also heard that Red Mountain Capital valued Dangdang.com at US$100 billion.

When he first heard the news, Boss Ma was having a meal, and suddenly he lost his temper. He sprayed out the food in his mouth, and sprayed Cai Xin who was sitting opposite him. For this matter, Boss Ma hid himself Cai Xin for a week.

There is no other way, Boss Ma can only activate his trump card, preparing to clear out some "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" in the e-commerce industry first, and then fight with several giants, but time has passed for so long, and the funds have almost been exhausted. Small businesses in business were driven out, but more giants were also attracted.

Boss Ma never figured out why NetEase had to come in to get involved. Based on his years of understanding of Boss Ding, he shouldn't have come in.

For Jingdong's Zhang Dong, Ma's father is not afraid at all. Even if he has Lin Feng's support behind him, he still thinks that Zhang Dong is just playing tricks, but NetEase's Ding Boss is different.

When Boss Ding was in great glory, Boss Ma was still bitterly leading a few employees to promote business for Ali Company. At that time, Boss Ma was very familiar with Boss Ding’s name, and he admired Boss Ding even more. He always wanted to be like People like Boss Ding.

Although the Internet market has undergone great changes in the past few years, the glorious companies in the past have slowly declined, and the once inconspicuous small companies have slowly set foot on the peak.

Although Boss Ma's wealth has already surpassed Boss Ding's by several times, he doesn't think that Boss Ding is old. On the contrary, he has always regarded Boss Ding as an opponent of comparable strength, but a few years ago, Boss Ding has been tossing around in the game industry and has not entered the e-commerce industry at all, so Boss Ma has slowly relaxed his vigilance towards him.

But I didn't expect that at such a critical moment when Alibaba was about to go public, Netease actually announced that it would enter e-commerce. Dad Ma was so angry that he didn't even eat, so he asked Cai Xin to discuss countermeasures.

"Old Ma, what are you looking for from me? I just sat down in the dining hall and had a bite of food when I was called up by your phone."

Cai Xin knocked on Boss Ma's door, then walked straight to the sofa next to him and sat down, picked up the teapot on the coffee table and poured himself a cup of hot tea, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Something went wrong, NetEase is going to enter e-commerce." Boss Ma sat down opposite Cai Xin, and said anxiously.

Cai Xin put down the teacup in his hand, stared at Boss Ma in disbelief.

"Really or fake? Isn't Lao Ding not interested in e-commerce all the time?"

Boss Ma frowned, and said worriedly: "I thought the same as you before, thinking that Lao Ding just likes to play his games, but now it seems that we are all wrong."

"It is absolutely true that NetEase is going to enter e-commerce. Although NetEase has not officially announced it, I have my own sources. Lao Ding has already mobilized within their company. I believe it will not be long before news comes out. .”

Cai Xin also knew what the source of the news Boss Ma said was. These are the unspoken rules in the industry. Which company didn't arrange a few people in the opponent's company, otherwise how could it know the opponent's movements in time.

"Then what do you do next?" Cai Xin looked at Boss Ma solemnly.

As an administrator in the company, he knows that the current situation of Ali Company is not very good.

In order to raise Ali's valuation a bit more when it goes public, the company has already invested all the money raised from several venture capitals. Although the results are very good, a lot of money has been spent.

As a result, just as Ali drove away those "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" here, a "big fish" came over there, maybe it was a "Great White Shark".

Cai Xin was not a person in the Internet industry before he joined Ali, but he had also heard of the name of Boss Ding of NetEase. In the last century, when everyone did not know how the domestic Internet should be commercialized, Boss Ding Be the "first to eat crab".

Then Penguin's Ma Boss was inspired and started to enter the instant chat industry.

Ali's Boss Ma was also deeply inspired and began to enter the e-commerce market.

Years have passed, and NetEase has not taken the lead every step of the way, but no one dares to underestimate NetEase's Boss Ding.

Boss Ma stared at Cai Xin and asked, "It seems that our listing project can no longer be delayed. If it is delayed for too long, it will be more unfavorable to our situation."

Cai Xin met Boss Ma's eyes and said, "Are you a little anxious?"

Boss Ma showed a resolute look on his face.

"There's no rush."

"Didn't you see that Lin Feng is also constantly urging Dangdang to go online?"

"Do you think Lin Feng is a fool? If not, then why does he keep urging Dangdang to go public when he knows that the listing conditions are not yet mature?"

Cai Xin thought for a while, then replied in a low voice: "It proves that Lin Feng knows, and it is a good time for Dangdang.com to go public now."

Boss Ma nodded and stood up.

"Although I don't know what medicine is sold in Lin Feng's gourd, I know that he never does things without purpose."

"Although I don't like him very much, I have to admit that he is really good at the capital market."

Hearing what Boss Ma said, Cai Xin also stood up.

"Okay, you've already said that, I'll go and communicate with the investment bank, and try to make Ali's listing time a little earlier."

Boss Ma walked to Cai Xin's side and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Old Cai, I will leave this matter to you."

Cai Xin showed a wry smile on his face.

"It's okay, although I'm the only one who is familiar with this aspect in our company, if I don't work hard, who will do it?"

"By the way, last time in the dining hall..."

Boss Ma didn't expect that when he was having a romantic scene with Cai Xin, Cai Xin would change his style so quickly and bring up the incident in the canteen last time.

"By the way, I seem to have another meeting, which is very important, so I'll leave first."

Boss Ma quickly let go of his hand on Cai Xin's shoulder and walked out of the office.

"Old Ma, your reason is too false. I am the administrator of the company. Why don't I know what meeting you have? Besides, everyone is eating. Who do you go to for a meeting?"

When Cai Xin finished speaking, Boss Ma had already walked to the door of the office, and he was also taken aback when he heard Cai Xin's words.

"Oh, I remember wrongly, I have to go to the bathroom, I'm going first, I'm a little urgent to urinate."

Cai Xin never imagined that the chairman of the dignified Ali Company would use such a low-level trick as "piss escape".

Seeing Boss Ma disappearing from the office door as if oiling his feet, Cai Xin had no choice but to smile helplessly, and then walked towards the office door.

After the "cleaning" of the e-commerce market by Alibaba, many small start-up companies have withdrawn from e-commerce, but at this time, NetEase suddenly announced its entry into the e-commerce market with a high profile.

One stone caused a thousand waves, and even big companies like NetEase began to enter the e-commerce market to share the "cake", which made more and more people feel that the e-commerce market must have great potential in the future.

Lin Feng was watching the news on the computer in the office, and what was displayed on it was the information released by Netease to enter e-commerce.

This time it’s really getting more and more fun. Now, more and more giants are entering domestic e-commerce. I don’t know if everyone will fall in love with each other and finally shake hands and make peace after a few years, or whether they will rule the world and do their own thing. .

But all of this has nothing to do with Lin Feng.

What will happen in the future will naturally be chosen by consumers in the market.

"Boss, Zhang Shi and Ding Wei are here."

The landline on the table remembered the secretary's voice outside.

"Let them in."

Lin Feng turned off the webpage on the computer, turned his head and looked towards the door of the office, and saw Zhang Shi and Ding Wei walking into the office one after the other.

"Hi, boss!" Two neat voices sounded.

With a smile on his face, Lin Feng waved for the two to pull a chair from the side and sit down.

"Zhang Shi, how is the preparation for the IPO of Dangdang.com going?"

Lin Feng looked at Zhang Shi with a smile.

Before Zhang Shi and Ding Wei came, they also guessed that Lin Feng wanted to ask about Dangdang's online listing.

"It's all been negotiated, and the sponsoring investment bank is Goldman Sachs."

"According to the current progress, it will be available for listing in another two months."

After listening to Zhang Shi's words, Lin Feng tapped the five fingers of his right hand lightly on the desk in an orderly manner.

"When will Ali's company go public?"

Hearing Lin Feng's question, Zhang Shi was stunned. He really didn't pay much attention to the situation of Ali Company. How did he know their specific listing time.

"Boss, according to the information they announced, it should be two months later, but the exact date depends on the results of their roadshow in country M."

Ding Wei, who was sitting next to Zhang Shi, quickly took up the conversation.

Lin Feng shifted his gaze to Ding Wei, seeing a smile on his face, Lin Feng also smiled, this Ding Wei is really getting more and more interesting.

Zhang Shi glanced at Ding Wei next to him from the corner of his eye, and his face was a bit ugly.

"Zhang Shi, let's take a closer look at the listing situation of Dangdang.com. I only have one request, that is, the listing time should not be too far away from Ali Company. If Ali goes public first, our company must go public within three days."

Zhang Shi raised his eyes slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Boss, why is it so close to the time when Ali goes public, can't it be separated?"

Lin Feng looked at Zhang Shi and said, "If you can let Dangdang.com go public in front of Alibaba, I don't mind."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zhang Shi shut up.

It seems that there is no room for discussion on this topic. Either it will be listed in front of Ali, or it will be listed within three days after Ali's listing.

"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely supervise Goldman Sachs, and I will definitely not let the boss down."

Ding Wei next to him hurriedly patted his chest to promise to complete the task, Zhang Shi turned his head and stared at Ding Wei with wide eyes in anger, the anger in his eyes was constantly burning.

Zhang Shi found that Ding Wei has been stealing his limelight recently, is this to curry favor with Lin Feng, is he going to take his seat?
