Chapter 4034: Exclusive Use of the Throne
At 4 pm, when the bank closed, the funds in Yu'ebao had exceeded 400 billion yuan. Although it has not reached the 500 billion yuan that Ma Yun dreamed of, it has exceeded the goal set by Lin Feng.
400 billion! Reaching 400 billion in four days is enough to shock all walks of life. Especially the four major banks, they were speechless and didn't know what to say. They have tried their best to stop this Yu'ebao, but the result was such a loud slap in the face.
"Damn it!" A bank president couldn't help but curse, "He let so many money trucks drive on the road, isn't he afraid of encountering robbers! Each car has tens of millions of banknotes, why don't a few robbers come to rob the money."
The four bank presidents looked at each other and were helpless. Although this idea is beautiful, it is a beautiful fantasy. In China, there are robbers. For example, Zhang Jun in the past, and Zhang Ziqiang who dared to break into Li Ka-shing's mansion to blackmail Li Ka-shing, these fierce bandits are bold enough and not afraid of death. But they didn't dare to rob the money transport truck with military vehicles following it. Who dares to rob this truck with soldiers escorting it? Whoever comes here will die!
The four bank presidents retreated helplessly. This time, they can only retreat gorgeously. But they still firmly believe that they want to change the bank, dreaming! Only they are changed by the bank, but no bank is changed.
"Mr. Lin, it is 22:00 Beijing time now. All funds have been credited. In four days, 'Yu'e Bao' has a total of 432 billion yuan!" Ma Yun excitedly reported the Yu'e Bao performance of these four days to Lin Feng.
In four days, a total of 432 billion yuan was raised. This number is really exciting. It also made Ma Yun breathe a sigh of relief. Although Lin Feng helped in the end. But at least the mission was completed. His 'Yu'e Bao' plan was successful.
"Mr. Lin, I have another suggestion. We will build Alipay outlets across the country and cooperate with the Second Bank. In a disguised form, the Second Bank will open branches in China. Of course, this may violate some explicit laws and regulations, but it is okay to play a marginal ball." Ma Yun proposed.
In Ma Yun's view, the current application of Dingdang.com on Alipay is too simple. Alipay has now become a financial tool that all netizens must choose for online shopping, so its role should be greater. According to the existing national financial policy, Alipay may not be able to become a bank directly, but it can be used as an Internet financial tool to make it easier for everyone to transfer funds to Alipay. Of course, now Alipay is more about transferring funds through online banking, but now that Yu'ebao has been launched, the four major banks have restricted Yu'ebao, so they need to open outlets to absorb reserves.
Ma Yun is very ambitious. Especially after following Lin Feng, his ambitions have become even greater. The four major banks have trillions of deposits. Ma Yun doesn't want too much, half is enough. If half of the bank deposits are included in Yu'ebao, the annual income will be amazing.
Whether it is signing an interest agreement with the bank or lending to other companies, the income of Yu'ebao can be guaranteed.
But there is a problem in the middle. It is very costly to open outlets. Alipay is not as rich as the four major banks. It can lay outlets all over the country, and each outlet is the most prosperous section of the local area and the tallest building. For example, the Bund in Shanghai, looking at the past, that row of buildings are all bank buildings. Alipay does not have the confidence and the background to "compete for fathers".
Of course, Alipay has Lin Feng standing behind it. If it really wants to "compete for fathers", Alipay is not afraid. But Dingdang.com does not need to do so. However, the "Second Bank" is now facing "local protection". Except for a few first-tier cities in China, it is not allowed to set up outlets in other cities. Ma Yun thinks it is a very good idea to lay outlets for the "Second Bank" in the name of Alipay.
How to change the bank? That would have to move their cheese, so that the banks would have no money to make, and they would have to change. Change their attitude, change their ideas, and change their services.
"Well, okay. I will let Pete from the 'Second Bank' communicate with you more on this aspect, and you should integrate a set of plans as soon as possible. But remember, at present, the country has not yet opened up to foreign banks. Even if my 'Second Bank' is headquartered in Hong Kong, it is still considered foreign capital. Don't give other banks an excuse!" Lin Feng ordered.
"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will act carefully. It will definitely be in the name of 'Alipay', not 'Second Bank', but because 'Second Bank' and 'Alipay' are both under the 'Second Consortium', they can share accounts! And this is the same as 'Second World'." Ma Yun smiled mischievously. He can also take advantage of loopholes.
Lin Feng nodded.
"By the way, Mr. Ma, from now on you will officially serve as the president of 'Alipay'. This is the contract. Take a look. If you are satisfied, we will formally sign a work agreement." Lin Feng ordered Lin Zhiling to take out the contract that had been prepared long ago. Before this, although Ma Yun was hired by Liu Yingying, the two parties did not sign a formal contract. Because Liu Yingying believed that talents like Ma Yun must be signed by Lin Feng.
Ma Yun opened the contract with a little excitement. Being recognized by Lin Feng was the greatest encouragement for his previous failed life. However, after opening the contract, Ma Yun exclaimed.
"Mr. Lin, this is too generous!" Ma Yun was a little unbelievable. The contract benefits were too generous, far beyond his imagination.
"Haha, Mr. Ma, you are worth the price. Although I gave you a lot, you can help me earn more!" Lin Feng said with a smile, "I have confidence in you!"
Ma Yun opened the contract again and saw the treatment above, and a passion for a man to die for his confidant suddenly arose in his heart.
"Mr. Lin, no, boss, you treat me like a nobleman of the country, and I will repay you as a nobleman of the country!" Ma Yun looked serious.
Lin Feng smiled slightly. This sentence comes from "Warring States Policy. Zhao Ce". It is about a man named Zhibo who was killed by Zhao Xiangzi. Zhibo had a retainer named Sun Yu and treated him extremely well, like a close friend. After Zhibo's death, Sun Yu fled, disfigured himself, and assassinated Zhao Xiangzi several times. But Zhao Xiangzi let Sun Yu go several times because of Sun Yu's loyalty. However, Sun Yu finally died to thank Uncle Zhi for his kindness.
What Ma Yun said made Lin Feng feel that the conditions he offered were really worth it. Although this condition is indeed a bit scary, Jack Ma is indeed worth the price.
Annual salary of tens of millions of dollars, plus 5% of ‘Dingdang.com’ shares! An annual salary of tens of millions is already beyond Ma Yun's expectations. In domestic Internet companies, it is really rare for a person like him to get such a high salary. Of course, compared to the annual salary of tens of millions, what really makes Ma Yun feel like he would die for his confidant is the 5% shares.
According to "Forbes" estimates, the market value of 'Dingdang.com' has exceeded 50 billion US dollars (PS: When calculating Lin Feng's assets before, 'Dingdang.com' was omitted, and I would like to apologize!). This 5% share is worth 2.5 billion US dollars! It is equivalent to saying that Jack Ma instantly became a billionaire, which will occupy a place in the Forbes list next year. For a newcomer like himself, Lin Feng could be so trusting. This was his absolute trust in Ma Yun's ability. How could this not move Ma Yun? This moment made Jack Ma feel at home with Alipay and Dingdang.com.
And this is what Lin Feng wants. Lin Feng previously held 87% of the shares of ‘Dingdang.com’, Liu Yingying held 10%, and Vice President Wang Juntao, known as the number one e-commerce person in China, held 3% of the shares. Now that Lam Feng has given Ma Yun 5% of the shares, Lam Feng still holds 82% of the absolute shares. This has no impact on Lam Feng’s control. For Lam Feng, the loss is only US$2.5 billion, and perhaps more in the future. many. But Lin Feng didn't care about this little money yet. However, this 5% share can get the absolute loyalty of an e-commerce wizard. Lin Feng thinks it is very worthwhile.
Jack Ma, that’s not an ordinary person. Lin Feng’s goal for Dingdang.com has always been to become the world’s largest e-commerce company, and its main rival is currently Amazon. Without an e-commerce wizard like Jack Ma joining the company, how can he deal with Amazon? And if you want to gain the loyalty of a wizard, it is impossible without giving some shares. It is far better to give them shares as soon as they come in now than to wait for them to make achievements and then reward them with shares. The meaning is completely different.
"Mr. Ma, come on. Remember, our business is not in China, but in the world. Surpassing Amazon is my only requirement for 'Dingdang.com'!" Lin Feng patted Ma Yun heavily on the shoulder.
Beyond Amazon! Ma Yun's eyes gleamed. His horizons broadened because of Lin Feng's words. Originally, his goal was to build China's number one e-commerce company, become a giant in China's e-commerce industry, and if possible, occupy a certain share of the world. But now, his goal is just one thing: surpassing Amazon and becoming the world’s largest e-commerce company!
"Okay, from now on, you can cooperate more with Yingying. I am absolutely trusting you. I have something else to do, so I will not attend tonight's celebration party." Lin Feng said with a smile.
‘Yue Bao’ collected 432 billion yuan in savings in four days, so naturally a celebration party was held. Ma Yun had already reserved a banquet table at the most luxurious hotel in the imperial capital, and invited all the customers of ‘Dingdang.com’ and some friends from the banking industry to celebrate. Originally, he was planning for Lin Feng to attend, but thinking that Lin Feng still had a debt to deal with, he stopped asking Lin Feng to attend. Of course, he also knew that this was by no means the main reason why Lin Feng did not attend. He believed that the main reason why Lin Feng did not attend was to continue to allow him to establish his authority in Alipay.
Wind God, I will let you have the exclusive throne forever! Ma Yun swore secretly. (To be continued)
