"I can tell you clearly that there is indeed a force behind Gao Jin, and it is very strong."

"However, part of Gao Jin's capital was earned from the financial industry. He is very talented in finance and has won several big bets in a row."

"Gao Yihai once told me that he followed Gao Jin to speculate in gold and invested US$200 million. In half a year, he made more than US$60 million."

"Gao Jin's earnings are definitely more than ten times his profits."

"You all know that the industrial configuration of Xingling Group has no system at all. It is completely developed in the east and west."

"Every branch has invested huge amounts of money."

"Let's not talk about Rocket Bear Company. The investment has exceeded 15 billion."

"Solar energy companies have invested more than 3.5 billion. If new investments are included, it is expected to exceed 5 billion."

"ATV spent almost 2 billion to win it. According to the information I know, Gao Jin allocated 300 million to make changes."

"By the way, there is also the agricultural company in Dafang City. I don't know how much it costs. Let's calculate it as one billion."

"There are also Rizao City Xingling Group Headquarters, Security Headquarters, Rocket Bear Headquarters and other projects."

"Let's count on an investment of 2 billion for the time being."

"In pieces, Gao Jin has spent more than 20 billion. If other expenses are included, the funds supported by Gao Yuande have basically been spent."

"Now that he dares to discuss acquisitions with Boss Ma, it shows that he is very confident," He Bingshan said with a smile, and after speaking, he looked at Yu Hang Boss Ma meaningfully.

The two bosses Ma and Liu Dongdong looked at each other and said nothing else. He Bingshan did not speak anymore, but picked up the teacup and started drinking tea.

"Ding ding ding..." Boss Ma's cell phone from Shenzhen Stock Exchange rang. Boss Ma picked up the phone and looked at it, then answered it directly.

After saying a few words, Boss Ma hung up the phone and looked at He Bingshan and others, "I'm sorry, the boss of the relevant department is free at noon. I need to go over and make a report. I can't have a drink with you at noon."

"It's okay, it's business," Liu Dongdong said with a smile. Boss Yu Hangma and He Bingshan both nodded to express their understanding.

After a few polite words, Boss Ma from Shenzhen Securities City left and saw off Boss Ma. He Bingshan and the three of them also separated and went back to their rooms to rest and have lunch together.

At around eleven o'clock, He Bingshan arranged the restaurant and gave Gao Jin a seat. Gao Jin made arrangements and left the office to go to the appointment.

In a private restaurant on the North Second Ring Road, when He Bingshan was chatting with boss Yuhang Ma and Liu Dongdong, Gao Jin arrived.

He Bingshan made an introduction to both parties, and Gao Jin also smiled and shook hands with the two of them, showing great courtesy.

"Boss Ma from Shenzhen Securities City has an emergency and has to leave. There are only four of us today. We will not come back until we are drunk."

“A la carte”

He Bingshan smiled and shouted, the waiter handed over the menu, and several people gave in to each other. He Bingshan ordered a few people, and Gao Jin and the other three symbolically ordered one each.

Everyone was chatting while eating.

We are both businessmen, and the lack of cooperation now does not mean that there will not be cooperation in the future. Therefore, the atmosphere of the meal was very good, and the chatting and laughing were not boring at all.

After a few glasses of wine, Gao Jin started calling Brother Ma, Brother Dong, and Brother Shan.

The four of them drank half of the liquor and then stopped. They all knew that Gao Jin and Boss Ma had something to discuss next, so they didn't drink more.

After drinking and eating, the four of them separated. Gao Jin's motorcade left together with Boss Ma's motorcade, and finally entered the parking lot of the Maple Leaf Hotel.

Boss Ma is a good natured man. He and Gao Jin said this and went upstairs together to talk in Boss Ma's room. The large suite has a lot of space and there is no need to worry about people eavesdropping.

Soon, the group of people took the elevator to the top floor. The bodyguards escorted the two of them into the room and waited outside with a wink.

Boss Ma made a pot of tea and drank tea with Gao Jin while discussing the contract.

"Brother, tell me what you have to say," Boss Ma said with a smile.

"Brother Ma said that, let me get straight to the point. I wonder if Brother Ma has any plans to sell Youdou Video." Gao Jin looked at Boss Ma and asked this question.

Boss Ma was stunned. He didn't expect that the industry Gao Jin was interested in was Youdou Video. It was really unexpected.

"Youdou Video is a benign asset and there are no plans to sell it for the time being," Boss Ma said calmly.

Gao Jin smiled and said, "Brother Ma, celebrities don't tell secrets. After Alibaba Group acquired Youdou, it can be said that it has been losing money every year. It has been difficult for video websites to make a profit in recent years."

Boss Ma smiled and understood what Gao Jin meant. There was no need to keep an industry that was losing money every year and not sell it.

"Youdou is losing money every year, why do you want to acquire this money-losing industry?" Boss Ma said this very calmly, changing the interface, the excuse of losing money is not convincing to me.

"Brother Ma, do you want to hear my opinion on Alibaba Group?" Gao Jin said, and Boss Ma picked up the tea cup and made a gesture of please.

“The Alibaba Group is very large and has relatively strong financial strength.”

"However, in my opinion, the future development of Alibaba Group is also full of obstacles."

“Online malls have competitors like Dongdong.com for selling high-quality goods, and Pinxixi for selling low-end products.”

"Video websites have Penguin Video and AiAi Video as competitors, and in the past two years, the development of AiAi Video and Penguin Video has been stronger than that of Youdou Video."

"I won't give examples of other industries one by one. It can be said that all the subsidiaries of Alibaba Group have very strong competitors, and these competitors are all stronger than Alibaba's subsidiaries."

"The same applies to the payment system. In other words, Marco's only competitor is Penguin Group in Shenzhen Stock Exchange."

“Behind all the competitors of Alibaba’s companies are Penguins, I’d say that’s right.”

“In the long run, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing for Alibaba Group?”

"The headquarters group has a lot of profits, but no matter how much profits the headquarters makes, it can't support all the losses of its subordinate companies. When will annual subsidies end?"

"So, I think if Brother Ma sells Youdou to me, Alibaba Group will no longer need to provide subsidies for Youdou every year."

"Video websites can access Alibaba users as usual, the services remain unchanged, and the comprehensive ecology of Alibaba Group has not changed. This is very important to us."

“It’s a win-win”

After Gao Jin said these words, he looked at Boss Ma. After listening to Gao Jin's words, Boss Ma had a thoughtful expression on his face. Gao Jin did not interrupt and drank tea slowly.

Soon, Boss Ma picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip. He put down the cup and looked at Gao Jin and said, "I don't believe there is no spring for video websites."

"I believe there will be no spring within the next five years."

"Because the three major video websites will have one more competitor. If they don't want to fall behind, they need to invest heavily."

"The losses of the three major video websites will definitely increase, or at least double. It's hard to say who will win in the end."

Gao Jin said with a smile, clarifying his attitude, if you are unwilling to sell, I will still enter the video market, and the tacit understanding formed by the three of you will be broken.

We will face huge competitive pressure, and whoever does not invest heavily will be eliminated.

Boss Ma looked at Gao Jin and smiled, "Yes, you are the first among the younger generation to dare to speak like this in front of me."

"I believe that Bu Youdou will not fall behind, because I will not allow him to fall behind." Boss Ma said this with great certainty.

"I believe"

"However, I also believe that the Alibaba Group will at least double the price of Youdou, and there is no hope of making money, just like the current takeout market."

"I don't believe those capitals have the patience to continue playing!"

Gao Jin said these words without any hesitation. Boss Ma narrowed his eyes and looked at Gao Jin more seriously, and the relaxed atmosphere on his body decreased a lot.

Capital is not afraid of investment. What it is afraid of is that there is no hope of profit after investment. Kangaroo Company is an obvious example. American consortiums have no patience.

"I'm curious about something. How did you convince the American consortium to abandon Kangaroo Company?" Boss Ma asked.

"Nothing but strength!"

Gao Jin said this very simply. Boss Ma narrowed his eyes after hearing this. It's just about strength. Do you have...

Thinking of this, Boss Ma really lost his composure. It seemed that the power behind Gao Jin was extraordinary. He was able to overpower the American consortium. This was no small force.

I started thinking about Youdou in my head. It can be said that the shareholders of Alibaba Group do not pay much to Youdou. It is very unpopular to lose money every year.

It is Boss Ma's persistence that allows Youdou to continue operating normally. Not only Youdou, shareholders also have strong opinions on the fact that its subordinate industries cannot make normal profits.

To buy or not to sell.

"If you agree to a price of seven billion US dollars, I can convene the board of directors to discuss the sale of Youdou."

Boss Ma looked at Gao Jin and told him a price. Gao Jin smiled and shook his head.

"Brother Ma, Alibaba Group spent US$5.7 billion to acquire Youdou. However, in the past few years, Youdou has not developed significantly under Alibaba. Instead, it has suffered losses every year and its market share has shrunk a lot."

"Two billion US dollars, no more than I can accept." Gao Jin also quoted a price.

After hearing the price, Boss Ma just laughed. He asked for a high price, and Gao Jin paid him back on the spot. This price was quite a cut.

"Well, there is no point in discussing this matter now. I need to discuss it with several shareholders. I will give you the news within three days."

"how"

Boss Ma said something, and Gao Jin nodded and agreed.

The Alibaba Group has a huge business, and the sale of Youdou must go through the board of directors. It is reasonable for Boss Ma to discuss it with the board of directors.

After the business talk was over, the two chatted for a few words, and Gao Jin left. They had a drink at noon and everyone needed a good rest.

Boss Ma also politely sent Gao Jin to the elevator, then returned to the room, sat down and drank a cup of tea, took out the phone and started making calls. Soon, the call was connected.

"Send the video website development analysis report to my email address as soon as possible," Boss Ma said calmly.

"Okay" came a female voice.

After chatting with this guy for a few words, Boss Ma hung up the phone, stood up and went to take a shower and rest.
