Reborn multinational giant

How should the huge sum of 39 billion US dollars be spent?This issue, Fang Zhe and the executives of Huizhong had already met and discussed many times before the listing of Huizhong, and even more than half of the funds were already red-eyed by the heads of various departments and booked in advance. Divide!

First of all, the first lion to speak out is Li Wenbin, who is in charge of cloud computing business.

"President Fang, the development speed of our cloud computing department in recent years is obvious to all. From the earliest time we still needed company subsidies, we now have annual revenue of more than 3 billion US dollars and net profit of more than 500 million US dollars.

I am not asking you for credit, but I want to say that it is precisely because you wisely invested $1 billion in our cloud computing business, that's how the cloud computing department is today!So now" Li Wenbin just said here, he was stunned by Huang Zheng, who was sitting opposite him in charge of the game business:

"So now that your department is so rich, don't worry about the money raised from this listing!"

Li Wenbin gave him a white look, then pulled a bitter face and complained:

"Making money is making money, but now the global cloud business is growing rapidly. The money earned here hasn't been warmed up in my pocket, and the gang of people over there are overdrawn in advance. There is no money left. Meat, I can't favor one and the other!"

Seeing Huang Zheng wanting to frustrate himself again, Li Wenbin glanced at Fang Zhe and directly released a big move: "President Fang, outsiders mentioned that Huizhong is not WeChat or a game, as if our cloud computing department was raised by a stepmother. , Our cloud computing department is not up for it. Wechat and games have achieved the world's first place. We are the world's second. We have been under the pressure of Amazon cloud.

But don’t worry, Mr. Fang, even if you don’t give a penny to the cloud computing department this time, I, Wenbin Li, will surpass Amazon Cloud and make our cloud business number one in the world!"

At the end of the talk, Li Wenbin had a hoarse tone and a tragic complexion. Fang Zhe and the other Huizhong executives were stunned. This Nima is also stunned!

Li Wenbin's move shocked the executives of other departments, but did not restrain Fang Zhe. Fang Zhe smiled at his performance and asked directly:

"how long?"

"Huh?" Li Wenbin was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. Fang always asked him how long he could surpass Amazon Cloud and become the world's number one.

Seeing Li Wenbin picking up a rock and smashing himself in the foot, the other executives couldn’t stop laughing. Li Wenbin scolded himself one hundred and eighty thousand times, saying that it’s a bad excuse. He insisted on surpassing Amazon Cloud and becoming the world. First, isn't this digging a hole for yourself?

The eyes of the audience were focused on Li Wenbin, he felt a burst of pressure, and he could only bite the bullet and said:

"Three years, no, two years!"

Seeing Fang Zhe's frowning brow, Li Wenbin almost blurted out and shortened the time, but he gritted his teeth, he still held back.

As the originator of the cloud computing field, Amazon Cloud has not only developed the earliest and accumulated a large number of leading advantages, but also as a long-established multinational company with a long history, its global channel customer network is better than that of the world-class giant. Huizhong is much richer and more complete, but Li Wenbin believes that as long as Huizhong Cloud is given two more years, it is still very certain to surpass Amazon Cloud!

"One year, I want you to surpass Amazon Cloud in market share within one year at the latest. Choose one of the two conditions, one is that I will give you another 2 billion US dollars, and the other is to wait for the implementation of the previously submitted acquisition plan after the listing. !" Before Fang Zhe finished speaking, Li Wenbin, who was still very tragic just now, had a smile on his face. He said quickly:

"I choose the second one. Now our own cloud business has grown very fast. Even if we spend more money, we can’t raise a few percentage points. On the contrary, it may disrupt our mature market and customers. As long as you are willing to support our department’s proposal Let alone a one-year acquisition plan, I would dare to make a military order for half a year!"

"Oh? Then half a year!" Fang Zhe smiled and said to Li Wenbin. He waved his hand quickly and jokingly. For half a year, even if he fights his own life, it is a bit too difficult.

"Go back and perfect the plan, and then formally submit it to the board of directors for discussion after the company goes public!"

......

This is one of the scenarios where Fang Zhe and Huizhong executives discussed the sharing of huge financing after the listing before the listing. Although Li Wenbin’s cloud computing department did not receive a cent of cash, he received Fang Zhe’s advice to their department. Support for the proposed acquisition plan, in other words, no matter how much money and resources are spent on implementing this plan, Fang Zhe will pay the bill!

In the acquisition plan submitted by Li Wenbin to Fang Zhe, there are mainly two parts, one is the wholly-owned acquisition of the overseas open source platform github, and the other is the merger of Alibaba Cloud!

Leaving aside the wholly-owned acquisition of github, the mere acquisition of Alibaba Cloud made Fang Zhe a headache.

Although Huizhong Cloud is now the only one in China, Alibaba Cloud also firmly occupies the "second" position in the domestic cloud computing field by virtue of Alibaba's huge e-commerce business.

Yes, Huizhong Cloud’s domestic market share is several times that of Alibaba Cloud, but this does not deny that Alibaba Cloud is indeed ranked second in China. It can only be said that Alibaba Cloud was suppressed miserably by Huizhong Cloud and other cloud service providers were defeated by Huizhong. The cloud is suppressed even worse, their respective market share is negligible.

Alibaba Cloud's life is difficult, but this does not mean that Huizhongyun's merger with Alibaba Cloud is an easy task.

Because as long as Alibaba’s e-commerce business does not die, Alibaba Cloud will always have a straw for life. Therefore, whether it is for the safety of its own e-commerce business or the thief of cloud computing business, President Ma is unlikely to agree Huizhongyun merges with Alibaba Cloud, unless Huizhongyun is so stupid that it spends a lot of money when taken advantage of, or it takes out other benefits that make President Ma and Alibaba appealing!

Fang Zhe must be unwilling to waste money in vain, and he does not think that leaving Alibaba's Aliyun will have any effect on himself and Huizhong. Therefore, the only way to merge Aliyun is to use Huizhong. Other resources are exchanged, and while getting Alibaba Cloud, the relationship between Huizhong and Alibaba has become closer.

What should I exchange for Alibaba Cloud?Before the listing, Fang Zhe had always had a headache for this problem, so he did not rush to agree to Li Wenbin's request, but now after the listing, Fang Zhe has made a decision.

Alibaba has dominated the domestic e-commerce field for many years. Even with the rise of B2C and vertical e-commerce brands such as JD.com and Vipshop, it has never fundamentally threatened Alibaba's position in the e-commerce field.

If following the historical trajectory of the previous life, Alibaba will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange next year. Since then, the eyes and ambitions of President Ma and Alibaba have begun to look around the world. If they and Huizhong can help Alibaba faster and more To promote the process of internationalization, I believe that Huizhong Cloud's merger with Alibaba Cloud is not without negotiation!
