Reborn multinational giant

Chapter 432 General Arima's Transoceanic Call

The big cake thrown by Fang Zhe made the paypal party irritable, and even the scheming Wall Street Wolf King Carl Icahn had a faint green light in his eyes, as if he had seen a beautiful prey!

"Mr. Fang Zhe, although we will face many difficulties in cooperating with Huizhong Cloud under your company, I believe that as long as we both have enough sincerity, all difficulties can be solved!"

Omidyar, the founder of eBay, has changed his mouth without seeing a bit of embarrassment at the moment. In the face of huge interests, there is no face to let go.

If you don't let go of your face, it's just because the benefits of tempting you to let go of your face are not big enough. Now, the opportunity for eBay to cooperate with WeChat is definitely worth Omidyar's face!

"I have always opposed splitting paypal from eBay, mainly because I am worried that eBay's development will encounter many difficulties after the split. Of course, if your company's WeChat can establish cooperation with our eBay, then eBay's future development prospects will be very bright. !" The eBayceo Donahoe, who was called the most lovable and opposed the most fiercely before, changed his words now, and even Zhe was somewhat flattering and flattering while he was talking.

Although the attitude of the paypal side has undergone a 180-degree change, Fang Zhe has never thought of letting WeChat cooperate with eBay at all. Even if there is, that is what I just wanted!

The main purpose of what he said just now was to cheat the bottom line of the paypal party, and at the same time draw a big pie to tell them that there is such a possibility of cooperation, but the probability of this depends on the sincerity of the other party!

Because of the big pie drawn by Fang Zhe, the next negotiation has become a lot easier. In order to express his sincerity, the paypal party agreed that Fang Zhe can first migrate a small part of the business to Huizhong Cloud. As for the remaining It depends on the sincerity of Huizhong!

Under Fang Zhe’s suggestion, Huang Siyi used the reason that PayPal refused to cooperate with Huizhong Cloud just now. What Huizhong Cloud’s international e-commerce business experience is insufficient, it needs to take time, what international payment transaction settlement is more complicated, Huizhong needs Consider carefully and so on.

The person on the paypal side who listened to these words in his ears could not wait to slap himself twice. They blamed himself for having a bad mouth, and came up with so many excuses for rejection. Now it's fine, and they sent it back intact!

Huang Siyi’s roundabout remarks let Omidyar know that it’s not so easy for WeChat to provide eBay with top-notch portals, but after all, this matter has already been raised, so there is a lot of opportunity. It is to raise enough chips and negotiate with Huizhong slowly!

When Fang Zhe and his party left, including Omidyar and the two CEOs of Paypal and eBay, they were sent to the gate of the company with enthusiasm. This was the same as Fang Zhe’s treatment when he came. One big step!

Before leaving, Fang Zhe looked at paypalceo Marcus, who was staring at his wanting to talk. When shaking hands with him with his right hand, he patted his shoulder with his left hand and said, "I hope we have a good cooperation! "

A simple action and a sentence sounded like a natural sound in Marcus's ears. Marcus has enough reason to believe that Fang Zhe's actions expressed his support for his continued role as paypalceo!

The movements between the two were naturally seen in the eyes of Omidyar and Donahoe. The former looked at Marcus and the latter was full of naked jealousy. Fang Zhe shook his hand just now. At the time, it was only polite to stop, but the ardent look in his eyes was as if he had never seen it at all!

On the special car leaving the paypal headquarters, Fang Zhe thought about the pros and cons of this trip.

Yes, the split between paypal and eBay is basically a foregone conclusion, and the paypal share percentage after the split of Huizhong Investment will be determined according to the situation at that time, and then people will be sent to negotiate slowly. According to Fang Zhe It is estimated that this number cannot be lower than 15%, because this is a conservative estimate of the WeChat payment portal!

"Lost..."

Fang Zhe was thinking, when the phone rang interrupted him.

"Mr. Ma? Why did he call me?"

Fang Zhe looked at the caller ID on his mobile phone, wondering somewhat surprised.

There are not many people who know Fang Zhe’s personal cell phone number, and Alibaba’s President Ma is one of them. This is the first time the two have called since they exchanged numbers!

Fang Zhe answered the call only after the bell rang three times.

After the greeting, Mr. Ma asked: "I heard you went to the United States?"

"Yes, don't you dial the international long distance?"

Mr. Ma on the phone said with a smile: "Then I don't know. I told my secretary that I was looking for you, so he called you!"

"What can you do with me?" Fang Zhe was curious, what is worthy of a cross-ocean call from President Ma.

"Have you ever heard of Double Eleven? It is a shopping carnival organized by our company Taobao and Tmall on November 11th every year! I would like to invite you to be a special guest to have fun at that time!" Mr. Ma revealed his intention to call Fang Zhe.

However, Fang Zhe felt more depressed. The famous Double Eleven naturally knew that the annual Double Eleven was not only a grand event for the domestic e-commerce industry, but also a grand event for the Internet industry.

What the chopsticks enjoy is carnival shopping, while people in the e-commerce industry and the Internet industry prefer to see the transaction volume on Double Eleven, the peak value and number of transactions of Alipay, and the growth trend of various commodities. Logistics efficiency and so on.

However, what Fang Zhe didn't understand was that Alibaba invited himself to do during Double Eleven?

Not to mention that the relationship between Fang Zhe and Mr. Ma can only be regarded as ordinary friends. Even Huizhong and Alibaba, because of the payment through and Huizhong’s investment in vertical e-commerce such as JD and Mibud, competition is greater than cooperation. In this case , Mr. Ma specifically made a transoceanic call to himself and invited himself to the Double Eleven site in person. What's the matter?

Fang Zhe thought to himself, if he remembered correctly, Alibaba’s Double Eleven festival started in 2009 for the first time, and it’s only now in its third year, regardless of the intensity of activities on Double Eleven and the level of user participation. There is still a big gap between the transaction volume and other aspects in a few years.

The current Double Eleven is more like a festival for an e-commerce company on Alibaba. Unlike a few years later, Double Eleven has become a full e-commerce industry, a national carnival!

Although he didn't know what medicine Mr. Ma was selling in the gourd, Fang Zhe still didn't directly refuse. He just turned aside and looked at the schedule. If he had time, he would definitely go to the Double Eleven site!

Hanging up the phone, Fang Zhe rolled his eyes twice, and asked Li Wen, the secretary sitting in the co-pilot:

"In the past two days, what news is there in China, especially about us?"

As Fang Zhe’s full-time secretary, Li Wen also works as an information officer next to Fang Zhe. Many news that occurred at home and abroad or Huizhong related news screened by the Ministry of Public Opinion were basically screened by Li Wen and reported to Fang Zhe. , So when Fang Zhe asked, Li Wen thought for a while and suddenly said:

"Oh, I remember watching the domestic news when I went out this morning. Many domestic media reported our visit to the United States.

Because there were a lot of people here this time, and we didn't pay special attention to confidentiality work, so there are still a lot of media known in China."

"Let me see!" Fang Zhe took the iPad from Li Wen and opened the Huizhong News Aggregation APP specially compiled by the Public Opinion Department.

This APP is an internal application of Huizhong specially developed by Huizhong Mobile Internet Division in response to the needs of the Public Opinion Department. It mainly aggregates global news information about Huizhong, WeChat, Fangzhe, and the game industry.

According to the person in charge of the Public Opinion Department, the internal search engine of this APP can grab relevant news from all over the world within seconds, and through the intelligent translation and intelligent screening system developed by the Public Opinion Department, the media will be released according to the news release time , The amount of dissemination, the degree of attention, the amount of reprint, the severity level and other conditions show the news reports that are most worthy of the attention and attention of the Ministry of Public Opinion.

At this time, on the homepage of Huizhong News Aggregation APP, in the domestic news column, the most concerned news was: "Fang Zhe visited the United States and visited eBay headquarters!"
