Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

"I will sell the products of anyone who gives me benefits..." Jackma muttered to himself.

Dai Shan's words gave Jack Ma an enlightenment. Like Amazon, which is engaged in B2C brand flagship stores and self-operated stores, Alibaba is not the same as Amazon in terms of capital and industry resources, so it will naturally be difficult to survive.

But C2C business has never been able to find a reasonable profit model. Who among small and medium-sized merchants with meager profits is willing to pay handling fees to the platform? But it has always been free, so where do employee salaries, server rentals, and R&D expenses come from?

"Yong Ming, I'll give you two days to make a C2C planning plan in both Chinese and English versions!" Jack Ma suddenly regained his confidence that he had everything under control.

"So urgent? I'm afraid it won't be enough in two days!" Wu Yongming said hesitantly.

"Just two days, Lao Cai, we will go to the United States together in two days!"

Tsai Chongxin still doesn’t know how he was successfully lobbied by Jack Ma a month ago to abandon his high-paying job of 70 yuan per year as president of the Asian region of Swedish AB Investment Company’s venture capital department and switch to join a start-up company with only 18 people as an operator. official.

People around him say he is crazy? This PhD in law and economics from Yale University seemed to be possessed by a maniac, and was deeply attracted by the pie painted by Jack Ma...

The day after Jack Ma and Joe Tsai arrived in New York, they caught up with the shocking moment when Amazon rang the bell on the Nasdaq.

Jack Ma looked at the high-spirited Qian Ning and secretly swore in his heart: sooner or later, he would also ring the bell symbolizing wealth and status on Nasdaq.

Amazon's North American business was split and listed, with an IPO valuation as high as 800 billion. All of this stimulated Jack Ma's nerves...

"Lao Cai, why do you think Amazon split its North American business and listed it on the market?" Jackma asked with envy.

"Perhaps we are planning to raise funds separately for each branch in the future? This Yang Mo is really a business wizard!" Cai Chongxin said after thinking for a while.

"Just the split and listing of the North American business has a valuation of US$800 billion. I wonder if it can be recognized by investors?" Jackma said with a wry smile.

"It is indeed a bit overvalued! But now the entire Wall Street is crazy about Internet companies, and Amazon has the confidence to be valued at US$800 billion! Whether investors will recognize it depends on the future trend of Amazon's stock price," Cai Chongxin said, spreading his hands.

Jack Ma sighed and said: "Zhiyuan Group is really rich! It issued 5 million shares of tradable shares at US$40 per share, raising US$200 billion, creating the highest IPO record in the history of Nasdaq!"

Tsai Chongxin also said incredulously: "What's even more difficult for me to understand is that Yang Mo didn't come to New York for such a big thing. Is he really so confident? Or is 200 billion US dollars no longer so attractive in his eyes?" Already?"

Not only did Cai Chongxin find it incredible, Qian Ning also didn’t understand. With a market value of 800 billion, he really had no idea...

The trend of Amazon's stock price has also verified this. After opening high and moving high, after rising to 45.5 US dollars, the rise began to be weak, and selling orders sharply amplified.

"Peace! What to do? Do you want to enter the market now to protect the market?" Qian Ning asked anxiously.

"No need to rush! As long as it doesn't fall below the issue price, we don't have to rush to take action!" Li Heping said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid that the inertia of the decline will form, and it will be difficult to enter the market to protect the market..." Qian Ning said with concern.

"Qian Ning, don't be so talkative! It's not like you haven't seen big scenes before? Why are you so nervous?" Lin Xi, who came back from France to attend the Amazon bell-ringing ceremony, asked with a smile.

"The chairman of a multinational company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, you would be nervous if you were in this position!" Guo Kexin also said with a smile.

"Lin Xi, why do you think Yang Moxin is so big? He didn't even make a phone call, but he raised 200 billion in funds at once!" Qian Ning continued to complain.

"You're so cheap, so good! Roadshows and bell-ringing have made you steal the show. I wonder how many famous ladies in New York have taken a liking to you?" Li Heping also said.

Qian Ning laughed loudly and said: "How can I compare with you? There are several film companies under Qianhai Asset Management. Those Hollywood actresses are tempting you, right? Haha..."

"Qian Ning, you crow's mouth, Amazon's stock price has really started to fall..." Lin Xi, who had been staring at the market, exclaimed.

"Peace, what should I do? Hurry up and enter the market to protect the market! It will be embarrassing if it falls below the issue price..." Qian Ning said with a worried look.

"I don't think the problem is big. You see, although the selling volume has increased sharply, the turnover rate is extremely high, which shows that there are large funds secretly absorbing it!" Li Heping said after staring at the market for a while.

After Lin Xi looked at it carefully for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Looking at this situation, maybe there will be another wave of market conditions? Should we join in the fun?"

"Are you too optimistic? Such a big deal cannot be hyped up by one or two institutions!" said Guo Kexin, who has always been cautious.

"Then where do these undertaking funds come from?" Lin Xi asked.

"The market concept is polarized! Some financial institutions participating in the IPO felt that Amazon had insufficient stamina and sold them, resulting in a sharp increase in selling orders. Some small and medium-sized institutions and ordinary investors are still optimistic about Amazon's unique e-commerce attributes and are preparing to enter the market. A piece of cake..." Guo Kexin analyzed it logically.

"Should we add fuel to the fire?" Lin Xi asked.

"No rush! The higher the turnover rate, the better it is for us! The greater the market divergence, the easier it is to generate a wave of market trends!" Li Heping shook his head and said.

As he spoke, Amazon's stock price began to fluctuate sharply like a roller coaster, and trading volume further increased.

"It seems that someone is really planning to use Amazon to make a fuss!" Li Heping said with interest after staring at the disk for a while.

"Heping, what clues did you see?" Lin Xi asked.

Li Heping pointed at the market and said: "Look, when the stock price fluctuated sharply between 41.5 and 47 US dollars, the transaction price basically showed a trend of polarization. It is obvious that this is caused by someone controlling the market!"

"Heping, do you think this fund wants to go short or long Amazon?" Qian Ning asked worriedly.

"Although the direction of follow-up control has not yet been determined! Amazon's tradable shares are not small, and it is a listed company under Zhiyuan. Many top financial institutions have participated in the IPO. The short-selling risk is too great!" Li Heping said after pondering for a moment.
