Facing a document in front of him, Zhou Liwen hesitated and frowned deeply. It wasn't that the content of the document disgusted him. In fact, this thing was not a bad thing for Zhou Liwen. On the contrary, it was a good thing. But the key point is that there is something wrong with the time. If it were two years earlier or two years later, Zhou Liwen would happily accept it instead of being as entangled as now. Judging from the content, it is a listing document, and the listing target is the Internet technology company built by Zhou Liwen, that is, Alipay, Taobao, Ali and other platforms, plus various derivatives derived from its development to the present. Network platform organization. Since Zhou Liwen first built Alipay and Taobao through Shanghai Banking channels, he has been waiting for this opportunity. Zhou Liwen was very clear about the huge benefits of Ali's listing in his previous life, and even created the richest man in China overnight. Now, Zhou Liwen directly or indirectly controls Alipay, and the proportion of shares in platforms including Taobao and Ali is larger than that of Yahoo in his previous life, and under his strong promotion, the development speed is far faster and better than in history. Even more perfect, now the entire Internet group is already vaguely ranked first in the world, and according to market value estimates, it has reached an astonishing amount. Even in the expansion of the international market, the Internet Group is far more successful and powerful than in history. Of course, this is also inseparable from Zhou Liwen's use of the application software bundling function of smartphones. In addition, Alipay obtained a banking license a few years ago and cooperated with banking institutions in various countries, especially Zhou Liwen¡¯s own banking institutions, to rapidly promote online payment. From this point of view, Alipay alone It's enough to replace Ahri's fame in history. Logically speaking, the listing of the Internet Group is a good thing for Zhou Liwen. According to Zhou Liwen's current level and strength, coupled with the development momentum of his Internet companies, he will definitely get generous returns after the listing. But in reality, Zhou Liwen is somewhat hesitant about this. There are two main reasons. The first is because the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis has not yet passed. Coupled with the impact of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the Wall Street Ponzi scheme, the entire The securities market is still in depression, and this is not the best time to go public. The second point is that Zhou Liwen has selfish motives. From the bottom of his heart, he does not want to list the entire Internet group. Due to the emergence of Zhou Liwen, history has long gone awry. As mentioned before, Alipay alone has now become a huge banking institution. Although Alipay and Taobao, including Alipay, currently belong to the same Internet group company, if the three are bundled and listed, such as the listing of Alipay in the original history, it will be a loss for Zhou Liwen. Because of these two reasons, Zhou Liwen was a little undecided. It had been several days since he got this thing, but he had never made up his mind. "Stop smoking. I cooked some of the bird's nests that my little sister sent me. You can have a drink. Don't be too tired." Just when Zhou Liwen locked himself in the study, smoking and thinking about the problem, The door was gently knocked open, and when he looked up, he saw his wife Lin Yaxuan walking in with a bowl of bird's nest. Seeing the smoke filling the study, she gently placed the bowl on the table, turned around and opened the window on the side. Zhou Liwen smiled, snuffed out the half-cut cigar, picked up the bird's nest and took a few sips with a spoon. "How does it taste?" "Of course my wife's cooking is delicious." Zhou Liwen smiled and gave a thumbs up to Lin Yaxuan. "You have a sweet mouth, drink it quickly, there is not enough left in the pot." Lin Yaxuan smiled happily, sat down next to him, and watched Zhou Liwen finish the bird's nest in one gulp, and then reached out to take the bowl. "No, one bowl is enough." Zhou Liwen waved his hand, put the bowl aside, took Lin Yaxuan's hand and said, "Have the children gone to bed? I still need you to help me make midnight snacks so late, thank you so much You're gone." "You're already asleep, and so are you. If you hadn't gotten up at night and saw the lights on in the study" Lin Yaxuan felt the warmth in her hands and gently squeezed Zhou Liwen's fingers to blame. He said: "We have enough money, and our family business is big enough. Even if you retire now, your children will not be able to spend it all in a few lifetimes. Why do you have to make yourself work so hard?" "I don't want to either, But if the market doesn¡¯t advance, it will retreat, and I¡¯m only in my early thirties now, so it¡¯s too early to retire. The harder I work now, the more I can leave something for future generations, right?¡± Zhou Liwen said with a smile. In fact, he also knew it. Lin Yaxuan was blaming him for putting too much energy into work and neglecting his family. Zhou Liwen was also a little helpless about this. From the beginning, Zhou Liwen thought that he could handle both work and family well. But as his business has grown bigger and bigger over the years, he has more and more properties under his name. His focus on work is somewhat cheap. Although Zhou Liwen worked hard to spend time with his wife and children, his plans were still disrupted by unexpected events from time to time. If Lin Yaxuan hadn't understood and cared about him and silently helped him take care of his family and children, Zhou Liwen wouldn't have known how to deal with this. "I know, I don't blame you, but I always hope that you can spend more time with me andChildren, just like in the past, instead of always seeing you lock yourself in the study or office. "Lin Yaxuan gently put her head on Zhou Liwen's shoulder, relying on her husband's generous and warm shoulders. "Yes, I promise you, after I have arranged all the work in hand, I will not do anything about the company in the future. If you intervene more, I will have time to take you and the children around the world and enjoy life together as a family. By the way, or how many more children can we have? Don¡¯t you think there are too few children at home? " "You treat me like a sow. You want to have a few more. It's a beautiful idea." Lin Yaxuan clenched her fist and knocked Zhou Liwen's chest, but there was a smile on her lips. She knew that her husband's promise was not Will lie to her, because since they were together, Zhou Liwen has always kept every promise he made to her. Under the quiet light, Zhou Liwen and Lin Yaxuan were as dependent on each other as they were in love, and time seemed to have returned to the past at this moment. After a long time, they returned to reality from this warmth. Lin Yaxuan raised her hand and pushed her long hair aside, sitting up slightly. "Still looking at what's on the market? Zhou Liwen nodded: "Both Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs are urging me. This information has been in my hands for several days. I have to give them a reply in a few days, so I have been thinking about it." " "Actually, I think it's okay if you don't want to go public. Listing is not the only way. Although there are so many domestic companies looking forward to going public, do some established companies in Europe and the United States develop well even if they don't go public? " Lin Yaxuan is not a housewife who knows nothing. She still controls Zhou Liwen's foundation, and also holds the equity of several industries owned by Zhou Liwen. As far as the Internet group currently considering listing is concerned, Lin Yaxuan is also the One of the major shareholders. And she is right, there are advantages to going public, and there are advantages to not going public. If Zhou Liwen is worried about whether to go public, he can just not go public for the time being, not to mention that the Internet Group has been there for a long time. It is developing well. If it continues to develop like this, it will not affect its future. However, Zhou Liwen smiled and shook his head. He sighed: "It is not such a simple problem. It is indeed possible for you and me to do this, but for you and me, we can do this. Overall, if the benefits are not shared equally, there may be some trouble in the future. " "You mean Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs? "Lin Yaxuan asked with a frown. "Not only them, but also SoftBank and others. " "I know SoftBank, but others? "Lin Yaxuan was a little confused. Zhou Liwen explained: "Others refer to the founders of the Internet Group, including Liu Ting, Ma Qingyang, some group veterans, and even ordinary employees. If it goes public, it will be a very good opportunity for them, at least they can get huge returns in terms of economic benefits. And if it refuses to go public, once the news spreads, it will be a strong blow to the morale of these people. This world is a material society, and no matter how loyal your subordinates are, they still need material incentives, and the best material is money. " Hearing this, Lin Yaxuan immediately understood. To use the simplest metaphor, that is, the starting point of the boss and the workers are completely different. As a boss, in the pursuit of profits, he wants to make the company bigger and stronger. As a migrant worker, the key is the reward you get for your efforts. If Zhou Liwen refuses to go public, it will be extremely unfair to people like Liu Ting. You must know that once the Internet Group is successfully listed, based on the internal option ratio of the group, they will lose their money. Being able to stand among the ranks of billionaires at night is such a big temptation that no one can refuse. What¡¯s more, the situation of Baidu¡¯s listing in the past few years is still vivid. Due to its successful listing, Baidu created countless billions overnight. Rich people with tens of thousands, tens of millions and millions of dollars, and even the aunts who work at Baidu's reception desk have received generous rewards. These things are still talked about. Therefore, it is not right to refuse to go public. It is possible, although now is not the best opportunity, in this case, if Zhou Liwen refuses, it will not only form a rift with Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs, but also cause turmoil within the group when the news reaches the Internet Group. This is a result that Zhou Liwen absolutely does not want to see, and it is also where he is embarrassed. ¡°What I am considering now is how to go public, or whether to go public as a whole or partially. "Zhou Liwen stretched out his finger to click on the document, and then pointed to his head. "You mean to separate Alipay from the online shopping platform and list it on the market? Or only one of them is listed? Lin Yaxuan immediately understood what Zhou Liwen meant, thought for a while and said: "This is also a way to solve the problem. In fact, I think Alipay, as a substantial online banking institution, does not need to be bundled with the Internet group for listing. This way It would be inappropriate to do so. " "Haha, that's exactly what I thought. "Zhou Liwen was very happy that Lin Yaxuan had the same view as him and agreed with him. (Fake)?Last day, please vote and recommend!)
