China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 605 603. Mr. Ma’s deception is quite powerful

On the night when the match between Atletico Madrid and Valencia ended, Spain's best-selling sports newspaper Marca, China's Sports Weekly, as well as major websites and media all reported on the match.

"A football genius made a stunning debut with a hat trick in his La Liga debut!"

"Atletico Madrid showed their strong side and played attacking football smoothly again with a big win."

"The richest man in China bringing in Neymar may become the most successful deal in La Liga."

In addition to these comments, Neymar's jerseys were sold out the next day. Even in China, Youduoduo sold more than 100,000 genuine jerseys.

From this item alone, Atletico Madrid earned more than 10 million euros, almost making back Neymar's transfer fee.

But this is not the main point. The main thing is that Youduoduo has become more famous than before by selling autumn clothes.

What confused all the fans and media was that after this game, Atletico Madrid's head coach Flores actually resigned.

After a big win, the head coach resigned, which made everyone a little confused.

But two days later, Diego Simeone, who once played for Atletico Madrid, became the team's new head coach.

"Si Cong, the team is up, I leave this to you."

After the competition, Cao Yu stayed in Spain for two more days and then prepared to return home.

After the Lantern Festival, "Joy of Life" will start filming, and Li Xiaoyu must go back to participate in the filming, as her daughter is about to go to kindergarten.

"Boss, don't worry. The team has several local assistant managers who will help me."

Wang Sicong knows football after all. He smiled and said, "I am also planning to bring in two defenders. If we want to play offensive football, the defense must be solid."

"I feel relieved when you say that. During this period, observe which defenders are good and sign them in the summer."

Cao Yu certainly understands the importance of defenders, but if he wants to introduce more players, he will have to wait until the end of this season.

"Boss, I have found my life goal, which is to turn Atletico Madrid into a new Galactico."

Wang Sicong is now full of confidence. With Boss Cao as his backer, he feels very happy and comfortable doing his career.

After explaining these things, Cao Yu went to the youth training camp again.

The one hundred children selected from China have greatly improved their football skills in just half a year. In a few years, they may really become the hope of Chinese football.

Two days later, Cao Yu's plane landed at Yanjing International Airport.

After getting off the plane, Cao Yu opened Weibo and found that there were indeed some rumors about himself and Li Xiaoyu.

In response to this, Boss Cao chose not to clarify or make any statement.

Anyway, there is no evidence, so you can say whatever you want.

After returning to Yanjing, Li Xiaoyu sent her daughter home to her parents and started filming this year.

Aunt Liu Xiaoli also came to Yanjing to help take care of her grandson.

At the same time, Liu Yifei started the new year's work after resting for half a year.

On the Huaxia side, Cao Yu has basically arranged everything for Feiyu Entertainment before the Spring Festival, with only one film left, "Love Is Not Blind", which he can still arrange around May Day.

He plans to visit the Tesla and Samsung factories, and then go to Korea.

"The Thieves" was released during the Spring Festival. Although Jin Guangzhu had already released the box office data and the number of viewers had exceeded eight million, he still wanted to go and see it, and by the way, decide on the TV series "Descendants of the Sun".

At this time, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has achieved a box office of more than 800 million in China. Although it is not as good as "The Flowers of War", it is also quite good.

"Iron Man 2" currently has a global box office of million US dollars, which allows Marvel to make a small profit.

"It looks like the equipment has almost arrived, and we will try to put it into production by the middle of this year."

On that day, Cao Yu was inspecting the factory accompanied by several managers in charge of the Tesla project when his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Ma Yun?"

When Cao Yu saw the incoming call number, he was surprised.

"Why did Ma Yun call me suddenly? This is too weird."

He and Ma Yun had become so incompatible that he really couldn't understand why Ma Yun called.

But he still answered the phone.

"Boss Cao, this is me, Ali Ma. Have you returned to China? Come to Hangzhou to have tea with me when you have time."

During the phone call, Ma Yun's tone was unusually cordial, without any of the hostility she had shown before.

Cao Yucai didn't want to see Ma Yun, so he immediately refused and said, "Boss Ma, I'm really sorry. I have to go to Korea in two days. Let's talk about it when I come back."

"You're going in two days? Then I'll fly to Yanjing today, how about we go together?"

Ma Yun had long guessed that Cao Yu would refuse, and after finding out his itinerary, he was about to fly to Yanjing.

If you don't want to see me, I will go to see you.

And she has to see him. If she doesn’t see him, Ahri will probably be finished.

Because just as he had expected, under the impact of Youduoduo and Jingdong, Ali's stock price began to fall during this period.

Last year, I also invested in a game company, intending to develop new markets through games. However, the games I developed were not promoted at all. Not only did I not make any money, I even lost a lot of money.

In addition, SoftBank, Ali's largest investor, not only did not help, but also began to frantically sell off its holdings to cash out. Under such circumstances, Ali is almost in a desperate situation.

"Are you coming to me to beg for mercy?"

When Cao Yu heard that Ma Yun was coming to Yanjing to meet him, he roughly guessed the other party's purpose and refused again: "I'm in Chang'an, not Yanjing."

"Then it's the same if I go to Chang'an to find you. I haven't been to Chang'an yet."

"."

Cao Yu was speechless. He didn't expect Ma Yun to be so persistent. He could only say, "Then let's meet in Yanjing. I'll go back the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll call you the day after tomorrow morning."

Hearing Boss Cao's agreement, Ma Yun finally felt a glimmer of hope.

No matter what, in this meeting, he must lower his posture and say something to convince Cao Yu to give Ahri a chance to live.

In the United States, John Waldron, the boss of Goldman Sachs, is also paying attention to Ali.

An employee came to him with documents and said, "Boss, SoftBank has already started to reduce its holdings. When will we increase our holdings?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Let Ali's stock price continue to fall a little. When it reaches its lowest point, we will increase our holdings to maximize profits. If Ali can't hold on, we can make better offers."

Old fox John Waldron took a look at Ali's stock curve, which seemed to be full of bundles of US dollars.

He already had an idea in his mind that could bring Ahri back to life, and he felt that Ahri would definitely not refuse this idea.

By then, the Chinese people's money will flow into your wallet continuously.

After Cao Yu finished talking to Ma Yun on the phone, he was thinking, "Ma Yun seems to want to negotiate a peace. What will he say to fool me? Or does he want Meituan and Youduoduo to connect to Alipay? To save the company's life?"

But then he laughed and said, "I would like to see what Ma Yun has to say, but no matter what he says, I can't agree."

Two days later, Cao Yu returned to Yanjing after inspecting two factories. As soon as he got off the plane, he received a call from Ma Yun.

"Boss Cao, I'm already in Yanjing, how about we have lunch together?"

"Row."

Cao Yu was also curious about Ma Yun's purpose and agreed immediately.

When he arrived at the hotel, Ma Yun was already greeting him at the door with a smile on her face.

"Mr. Cao, you look good."

"Mr. Ma, you are not bad either."

Although Cao Yu said this, Ma Yun actually looked much thinner than when they met before the New Year, and did not look in good spirits.

"I don't dare to compete with Mr. Cao."

Although Ma Yun was a little unhappy when she heard this, she didn't show it and hurriedly invited Cao Yu into the private room: "Mr. Cao, please come in, we'll eat and talk." The food on the table was quite rich, and it seemed that Ma Yun attached great importance to this meeting.

"Boss Cao, you are really young and promising. You have developed Feiyu Group into the largest private group company in the country before you are 30 years old. Congratulations."

Ma Yun poured Cao Yu a glass of wine, praised him first, and then continued: "Boss Cao, we have known each other for more than eight years. Although there is some business competition, I still admire you very much."

"Boss Ma, you came to me this time, aren't you just looking for me to flatter me? If you have anything to say, why don't we just say it directly."

Cao Yu didn't pick up the wine, but smiled and said, "I have to go to the company to deal with some things in the afternoon. I have a flight tomorrow morning, so time is tight."

"Boss Cao is such a straightforward person. If I had known that Boss Cao would achieve such success, I should have met you when you came to Hangzhou eight years ago."

Ma Yun smiled awkwardly, then suddenly said seriously: "Boss Cao, do you know what the difference is between China and the United States?"

"?"

Cao Yu really didn't expect Lao Ma to ask this, and said calmly: "Boss Ma, tell me first, what's the difference?"

Ma Yun did not answer, but continued to say something irrelevant: "At the beginning of the millennium, Microsoft was involved in an antitrust lawsuit and Bill Gates was forced to retreat behind the scenes. If this happened in China, it would probably be even more serious."

"Boss Ma, what do you want to say?"

Cao Yu frowned, already vaguely guessing Ma Yun's purpose.

"hehe."

Ma Yun smiled slightly and said, "Boss Cao, I really admire you for making your company so successful in just a few years, but Feiyu Group is developing too fast. Your company is almost monopolizing the entire market in both e-commerce and group buying platforms.

There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." I wonder if Mr. Cao has ever thought about this?"

Ma Yun's words really made Cao Yu fall silent.

Even if he had no intention of dominating the entire industry, Feiyu Group was indeed developing rapidly and was indeed quite eye-catching.

Seeing that Boss Cao was somewhat moved by her words, Ma Yun hurriedly added fuel to the fire: "Being the richest man is never a good position. Boss Cao should prepare for a rainy day."

"I see."

Cao Yu finally picked up the glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

He didn't want to be the richest man, but he had too much money and there was nothing he could do about it.

Seeing Boss Cao wavering, Ma Yun finally stated her purpose: "Boss Cao, I don't blame you for the difficulties Ali is facing now. This is all business behavior. But what will happen if Ali fails? Boss Cao must also know that a triangular relationship is always the most stable."

Cao Yu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Mr. Ma means to maintain the current triangle relationship?"

"Yes."

Ma Yun nodded and said, "In the previous online shopping platforms, Jingdong occupied a large piece of the pie, Ali's Taobao and Tmall each occupied a piece of the pie, plus some small platforms, everyone was relatively peaceful. But now Youduoduo has come from behind and has seized more than 40% of the market.

If Ali is gone, this balance will be broken, and WeChat will be the only payment platform left, which is not only bad for the market, but also bad for Feiyu and Penguin. "

"Huh, Mr. Ma's deception is quite powerful!"

Cao Yu sighed in his heart, feeling that he was still fooled by Ma Yun.

He looked at Ma Yun and asked, "What good suggestions does Mr. Ma have?"

"In fact, if we maintain the current status quo and allow Ali's online shopping platform to continue to develop, then we can also cooperate to connect Alipay to Meituan and Youduoduo, which will benefit the entire market."

"Alipay"

Cao Yu repeated three words in his mind.

Before his rebirth, he was a Huabei user, with bills that he hadn’t paid off yet, and a small amount of loans that hadn’t been settled.

If Ali is allowed to continue to develop, will Mr. Ma always go down this financial path?
He hesitated for a moment and did not agree immediately. Instead, he smiled and said, "Boss Ma, I think your words are a bit alarmist. Mainly, this is of no benefit to me."

"???"

Ma Yun felt puzzled. Just now, Cao Yu seemed to be moved, so why did he suddenly become like this?

Want more benefits?
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Boss Cao, if our two companies can cooperate, I can separate Ali's payment platform from the parent company and set up a new company. I can give you some of the shares of this company."

When he said this, he was afraid that Cao Yu would not be tempted, so he added: "Mr. Cao, as Huaxia's internationalization process accelerates, finance will be the most profitable industry in the future."

"really."

Unexpectedly, Boss Cao was not only unmoved, but even more disgusted.

Cao Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, I feel that your international e-commerce site is the platform that benefits the country and the people the most. It can also help more companies export their products overseas. I suggest that Ali should focus on this."

"Mr. Cao is right."

Ma Yun nodded perfunctorily, but she didn't agree at all in her heart.

Although the international site is Ali's original business and it generates certain income every year, the income is too little and is now almost useless in the company.

If it weren't for the name of Ali Baba, he really wanted to give up this.

I put my focus on the international site? I'm not that stupid.

Hearing that Lao Ma was not sincere, Cao Yu did not say anything more. He stood up and said goodbye: "Mr. Ma, I will consider what you said. Let's stop here today. I have something else to do in the afternoon."

"Boss Cao is leaving now?"

Ma Yun glanced at the table full of food. Cao Yu didn't eat a single bite, and he only took a sip of the bottle of Feitian Moutai.

"I'm going to go back and think about it carefully. I'll call you back as soon as possible."

Cao Yu didn't want to stay here, so he picked up his coat and left.

Just as he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Ma Yun who was about to send him out, and said, "Boss Ma, I remember that Ali's original intention was to make business easier for everyone. I hope you still remember that!"

"Of course I remember."

How could Ma Yun still remember this sentence? He had already forgotten it.

It's just a slogan, who would take it seriously?

Cao Yu left the restaurant and did not return to the company. Instead, he went to find Yang Shuxue and prepared to have dinner together.

When he heard the word Alipay just now, he lost his appetite, but he still had to eat. He ate with Yang Shuxue and discussed with her what Ma Yun said.

"Why did you come here suddenly today?"

Yang Shuxue was having lunch and was also very happy to see Cao Yu.

"I miss you. Let me talk to you."

Cao Yu was not polite either. He picked up the bowl and served himself a bowl of rice. After taking two bites, he repeated what Ma Yun had said today.

After listening to this, Yang Shuxue was silent for a while and said, "Dear, Ma Yun is right. Monopoly is not a good thing in China, especially when you are the richest man."

Cao Yu asked: "Shu Xue, do you want me to agree to Ma Yun?"

"In fact, finance does make money, but the risks are also huge, and if you're not careful, you could easily get into trouble."

Yang Shuxue shook her head and said, "You can let Alipay settle in your e-commerce platform. This will add more customer base, which is good for you. It will also prevent Penguin from dominating the mobile payment field."

When she said this, she found that Cao Yu was still frowning and looked unwilling, so she smiled and said, "If you really don't like Ma Yun, you should invest in him. Doesn't he want to work in finance? As a shareholder in the future, you can prevent him from doing it, and at the same time maintain the current status quo of Ali's lifelessness."

"High, Shuxue, it's really high!"

After hearing these words, Cao Yu suddenly had an epiphany. He hugged Yang Shuxue's head and kissed her hard.

He now understood that although Ali was in trouble now, it had not collapsed completely. If he did not agree, foreign capital might come to him.

After all, 70% of Ali’s shares are foreign-funded.

If I invest in Alipay myself, I can prevent monopoly and prevent Ali from going down the financial path.

"If I agree to Ma Yun, he will probably let down his guard, and I can continue to reduce Ali's share on the online shopping platform."

While eating, Cao Yu sneered in his heart: "That's it!"
