Reborn multinational giant

"Fang Zhe appeared at eBay's US headquarters. Huizhong wants to help eBay regain the Chinese market?"

"Steve Jobs passed away, Fang Zhe may become the next Jobs!"

"Many executives on Taobao, JD.com and other e-commerce platforms have been poached by mysterious headhunters. It is rumored that the boss behind the scenes has a lot to do with Fang Zhe!"

"WeChat's global registered users exceeded 600 million, and Huizhong's path to a multinational giant is unstoppable!"

Looking at these news reports, Fang Zhe was a little amused in his heart. Obviously, his contact with paypal and eBay has caused many domestic media to speculate. They all thought that Huizhong was planning to enter the e-commerce industry.

In addition, Fang Zhe, in order to help his girlfriend Feng Xue establish the vertical e-commerce platform Aimei.com, specially sent people to cooperate with a number of top headhunting companies, and he did not hesitate to go around with the executives of various e-commerce companies. This changed the misunderstanding. Go deeper, so that even President Ma had to make roundabout calls to test himself!

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma, finally one day, I also became the person who made you jealous, so why did I invite me to participate in Double Eleven!"

Wanting to understand the reason, Fang Zhe felt comfortable in his heart. In Fang Zhe's heart, among the three BAT companies, he admired the most, and believed that the most powerful and the most powerful one is Ali's President Ma.

In his previous life, Ma was always a guest of senior government officials and even heads of government of many countries, and a frequent visitor to various international conferences, traveling around the world for the internationalization of Alibaba.

In this life, in the limited meetings and confrontations between Fang Zhe and President Ma, President Ma always talked and laughed, and looked at himself with a mentality of admiring younger generations. Even if he was in the limelight, he would never fall behind.

I don’t think so now, as the market just has speculations and rumors that Huizhong may enter the e-commerce industry, Mr. Ma can't sit still!

Yes, only e-commerce is Mr. Ma’s most important heart, otherwise, Mr. Ma will not be the enemy who is not pleasing to everyone in his previous life and Mr. Liu of Jingdong!

Huizhong’s negotiations with paypal and ebay have reached a preliminary cooperation intention. In the subsequent negotiations, the big boss Fang Zhe does not need to go out in person again. However, Fang Zhe has no plans to return to China for the time being, because he will return to the United States. There are two things to do, one is to meet with the big celebrities in the technology circle, the real "Iron Man" Elon Musk, and the other is to attend Jobs' memorial service.

......

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, President Ali Ma, who had finished the phone call with Fang Zhe, felt a little sad.

Three years ago, when Fang Zhe and Huizhong were still unknown in the domestic Internet industry, Alibaba has become one of the top companies in the domestic Internet industry, and Mr. Ma is well-deserved to become one of the top leaders in the industry. One.

But now, three years later, Fang Zhe and Huizhong have surpassed him and Alibaba, and even the three big Internet giants BAT, none of them can match Huizhong.

In the past, President Ma was able to convince himself that Fang Zhe is a junior, and Huizhong is doing games and social networking. Even if Huizhong is big and strong, it will not threaten Alibaba's position in the e-commerce industry.

But now, Huizhong has successively invested in a series of vertical e-commerce companies such as JD.com, Miya, Jumeiyoupin, etc. Not counting, Huizhong's Alipay is also incompatible with Alipay in the third party payment market.

Even so, Huizhong and Fang Zhe are still dissatisfied, and now they go to the United States to visit eBay headquarters, thinking with their toes, President Ma feels that Huizhong intends to further stir the domestic e-commerce industry, which makes President Ma feel, Very headache!

To be honest, President Ma is not afraid of Huizhong's involvement in the e-commerce industry. Even if Huizhong did not personally intervene, the e-commerce companies such as Jingdong, which he invested in, did the same. What President Ma was afraid of, or upset, would be wasted again. Resource war!

What the outside world doesn’t know is that Mr. Ma and Alibaba’s internal executives have begun planning to privatize and delist Alibaba, which only contains B2B businesses, from the Hong Kong stock market in the next two to three years, and then seek ownership of the entire Alibaba Group. The collective package listing of the business!

After this plan was finalized in Alibaba's most core senior executives a few months ago, the business planning and development of the entire group are working hard and proceeding in this general direction.

In order to have a beautiful valuation and stock price for the entire Alibaba Group’s listing, Alibaba’s various businesses have accelerated the commercialization process. If Huizhong, which is also not bad at domestic money, blatantly intervenes in the e-commerce industry at this time, then Ali Baba's listing plan for the entire group will inevitably be affected.

Therefore, President Ma specifically made this call to Fang Zhe. One is to explore Fang Zhe’s tone, and the other is to use the double eleven activities for a while to brighten Alibaba’s muscles to Fang Zhe and let him and Huizhong understand. , The e-commerce industry is not so easy to do, Alibaba is not afraid of any challenger!

The headache is the headache. Many plans and plans that Alibaba has formulated for the future group listing are already open and can only continue to be implemented!

On October 10th, Alibaba’s Taobao Mall announced the official upgrade of its merchant management system. After the upgrade, the annual "technical service fee" paid by merchants in Taobao Mall will increase from the original 6000 yuan to the current 30,000 yuan. And two grades of 60,000 yuan.

In addition, settled merchants also need to pay a deposit ranging from 50,000 to 200,000 yuan for the establishment of a consumer protection fund. Wherever the merchant sells fake goods, the actual goods do not match the description, delayed delivery, etc. For such violations, Taobao Mall will directly deduct a certain amount of fees from the deposit paid by the merchant. If all the deductions are completed, the merchant will be cleared and withdrawn from Taobao Mall!

Taobao Mall was the predecessor that was later renamed Tmall. It appeared because the original Taobao platform became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more Taobao stores. There are many different Taobao stores, which is neither convenient for management nor It is convenient for commercialization, not to mention that Taobao's entrance is limited. The more Taobao stores, the less traffic allocated to each store.

The emergence of Taobao Mall is from Taobao C2C, user-to-user e-commerce model, B2C, merchant-to-user, and therefore, the stores on Taobao Mall are basically Taobao stores with a certain scale and strength.

This time, Taobao Mall has introduced new regulations. On the surface, it is to protect the rights and interests of Taobao consumers, raise the barriers to entry of Taobao Mall, and increase the penalties for violations of merchants, thereby improving the quality of merchant services throughout Taobao Mall.

However, after this new regulation came out, it caused strong dissatisfaction and protests from tens of thousands of small and medium shop owners in Taobao and Taobao Mall!

The annual technical service fee of 30,000 or even 60,000 yuan and a deposit of at least 50,000 yuan have caused Taobao Mall’s store opening and operating costs to rise sharply. Therefore, many small and medium shop owners in Taobao Mall believe that this is Alibaba’s crossing the river and breaking the bridge. First, through Taobao screening a group of excellent shopkeepers to hatch Taobao Mall, and now Taobao Mall’s entry barriers and operation and maintenance costs are raised, which is tantamount to severely scraping the wool from these shopkeepers, even forcing some small shopkeepers to have to Go back to the mixed Taobao.

And Taobao shopkeepers who have not yet entered Taobao Mall are also very dissatisfied with this regulation, because after the introduction of this regulation, it means that the threshold and cost for them to enter Taobao Mall are higher.

Therefore, as soon as this new regulation of Taobao Mall was introduced, the QQ groups, WeChat groups and Taobao forums gathered by various small and medium-sized Taobao shop owners were blown up in an instant!
