Yang Xiao smiled gently at the trap set by the host.
He is not that stupid. Publicly expressing support for someone would offend people!
In this sky-high bet between Lao Wang and Lao Ma, the final result was that Lao Wang actually won.
Because, at least in the next 50 years, e-commerce will not be able to account for % of the domestic market share.
The deadline for the bet between these two people is 2020.
In 2020, China's total retail market size was 39.2 trillion yuan.
Online retail sales, on the other hand, were only 11.76 trillion.
In other words, the market share of e-commerce only accounts for 24.9% of the total national retail market!
It’s only half way to the 50% predicted by Lao Ma!
Complete defeat!
At that time, Ma considered himself the leader of China's e-commerce.
This actually means that Alibaba wants a 50% market share.
This is just wishful thinking, it's just not said explicitly.
But everyone knows that Lao Ma has such ambition.
The scary thing is that everyone thought that Lao Ma would win at that time, because Lao Ma’s charisma was so strong and he had many fans and brainless supporters, but he didn’t expect to be slapped in the face in the end.
Losing 100 million is just a drop in the bucket for Lao Wang and Lao Ma.
In fact, the business market will change rapidly in the coming years.
Lao Ma has entered the physical industry, and Wanda has also joined forces with Tencent and Baidu to engage in e-commerce.
Both sides look down on each other and have tried to enter each other's territory.
There is no need to make this bet serious.
As for the result, only he knows it now.
Yang Xiao did not want to "torture" Lao Ma severely at this time, and publicly supported Lao Wang, but avoided answering with high emotional intelligence and talked about:
"In fact, Mr. Wang refuted Mr. Ma's words before, saying that things like bathing, foot massage, ear repair, etc. are things that cannot be replaced by e-commerce, and they must be paid for offline in person. I disagree with this.
I think the future development trend is that these things can actually be sold online as commodities, and then offline door-to-door services can be provided. This is a problem that is easy to solve.”
Wang Xiaoya asked, "Oh? Then what Mr. Yang said means that he supports Mr. Ma? Will Mr. Ma win this bet?"
"I didn't say that, I just wanted to express my personal opinion.
In addition, Mr. Ma can also refer to how to solve this problem in e-commerce and help Mr. Wang as soon as possible. Click him to open Taobao and place an order from it, so that he can enjoy the home health care services of bathing and foot massage. "
Old Ma echoed maliciously: "That makes sense. I'll go back and have someone research it."
When everyone heard Yang Xiao start teasing Lao Wang who was sitting in the audience, they couldn't help laughing.
Especially when I think about the fact that "health care services" these days specifically refer to those that border on eroticism, I feel that Yang Xiao is simply too bold.
A young junior in the business world not only made fun of Lao Ma, but even made fun of Lao Wang!
After everyone's laughter died down, Yang Xiao took the microphone and added:
“Of course, if Mr. Ma’s Taobao cannot provide this kind of life service product orders, my [Food Benefit Group] can enable this function.
I think the future development trend is that these things can actually be sold online as commodities, and then provided at door-to-door services offline. In my opinion, this is actually a problem that is very easy to solve.
At that time, Mr. Wang is welcome to come to my [Food Benefit Group] to place an order and become our user. "
Lao Wang took the microphone and said with a smile: "Okay, then you have to do it as soon as possible! It's best if you can get this thing done before Lao Ma."
Lao Ma ignored Lao Wang's instigation. Instead, he heard Yang Xiao promoting his own products on the scene again, and showed an appreciative look:
"Xiao Yang is now known as a star in the Internet industry, and it really is true.
You see, when all the people doing group buying were still thinking only about real goods, he was already considering selling the "life service industry" as a commodity.
Now I am looking forward to what Xiao Yang can do in the next group buying war."
"Listen to how highly President Ma thinks of our young President Yang."
Wang Xiaoya exclaimed in praise, and then, she didn't know whether she had discussed it with the director team in advance, but she continued to add fuel to the fire.
"I'm going to reveal another piece of gossip that you may not know. In fact, a month ago, another company owned by Mr. Yang rejected another full acquisition by Alibaba! This acquisition was worth tens of billions!"
Wow!
The people in the audience were surprised again!
Wow, is this how Internet companies make money?
It’s often more than ten billion or even hundreds of billions?
Moreover, it was all done by Yang Xiao?
Is this kid on the stage so capable?
However, the most important thing is that Yang refused the acquisition? Isn't this too awesome?
Lao Ma took the microphone and admitted: "Yes, it is true. What we at Alibaba are interested in is a music player in Xiao Yang's hand. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yang is reluctant to part with it and has no intention of selling it. This shows that he has his own persistence!"
"Tough head!"
Someone in the audience shouted, and it sounded like a fan of Lao Ma. The tone of voice sounded like someone was speaking up for Lao Ma and wanted to teach Yang Xiao, the ignorant boy, a lesson.
Yang Xiao also understood the meaning behind these words, and there was some displeasure in Lao Ma's response.
But Yang Xiao is not one to flatter. He won’t sell if he doesn’t want to. No matter how rich Alibaba is, he won’t spoil you!
"Yeah, I've always been a bit stubborn."
"Now that we've mentioned this, Xiao Yang, I hope you've learned something. Sometimes, when you're facing an enemy you can't resist, it's actually useless to persist.
The business world is like a battlefield. When faced with the encirclement and suppression from Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu, how will you respond? "
Old Ma suddenly put on a victorious attitude and educated Yang Xiao, "Just like what I said to Old Wang just now, in front of a machine gun, Xingyiquan, Baguazhang, Taijiquan, etc., are all useless. I hope you can recognize this fact as soon as possible."
Wang Xiaoya saw that the two of them were suddenly at loggerheads, so he quickly said, "Oh, look, Mr. Ma is teaching Mr. Xiao Yang his business secrets again! What do you think, Mr. Xiao Yang?"
“Mr. Ma, if you say this to me in the e-commerce market, I will be 100% convinced.
However, I am not afraid of anyone in the online music market.
In front of me, no matter Tencent, Alibaba, or Baidu, they are actually not a threat! "
mad!
So crazy!
It’s so crazy!
Does Yang Xiao simply ignore the three companies BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent)?
There were many Internet people present, and at this moment they all felt that Yang Xiao was bragging too much!
Wang Xiaoya commented: "Tsk tsk, it seems that our Boss Yang also has the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger!"
Ma smiled and pursed his lips, saying, "The market will verify what I say. Although Alibaba is not afraid of failure, it has not failed yet."
This attitude of "not bothering with Yang Xiao" is so domineering.
This caused cheers from the audience.
Yes, Alibaba is the current domestic overlord and giant enterprise!
Where do you get the qualifications, Yang Xiao, to say these things?
This stage is for you to receive awards, not for you to brag. Do you want to attract traffic by making remarks about "stepping on Alibaba"?
There is no limit to this!
This was the inner thought of many people present.
However, when Yang Xiao heard what Lao Ma said, he rolled his eyes in his heart.
It’s indeed the fucking King of Force!
Yang Xiao didn't want to refute him at this time. It would be a bit too much to refute him directly.
In the final analysis, Yang Xiao is still a junior in the business world. Whether in terms of strength or business status, he is still a long way behind Lao Ma.
But he didn't want to completely swallow this anger!
Why do you, Ali, want to show off to me in this industry? Have you got my consent? Do you really think you are invincible?
Yang Xiao must come up with a countermeasure!
So, Yang Xiao looked at the beautiful host Wang Xiaoya with a smile and said:
"Sister Xiaoya, you just asked me what I thought of the bet between Mr. Wang and Mr. Ma. Now I have something to say."
"Oh? What do you think?"
"Well, no matter what the outcome is, there will definitely be someone who can win 100 million, right?
It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to participate in the bet just now."
Yang Xiao showed a harmless smile at this time, then turned to look at Lao Ma, "Now I want to ask Mr. Ma, this kind of bet, I am actually also very interested.
Why don't we make a bet to see who will dominate the online music market in five years? Can I also make some pocket money through this bet? "
The crowd in the audience was excited by the continuous "sky-high bets" and they cheered and applauded warmly.
The director team behind the scenes were all laughing so hard that they were numb.
But one of the leaders couldn't help but wipe his sweat:
"Director, is this okay? This kind of bet of 100 million yuan will have a bad impact, right? Can this be broadcasted at that time?"
"Whether it will be broadcast or not is reviewed by a special person, and other leaders also make the final decision. If the sky falls, there is someone taller to hold it up, and you are still worrying about it!"
"Alas, I can only say that Yang Xiao is indeed a little too arrogant. The term 'young and full of vigor' is simply the best way to describe it."
"Arrogant? If you had his achievements, you would probably be even more arrogant than him! That's what young people should be like."
"That's true, but this time our award ceremony should be the best ever."
"."
on the stage.
The host Wang Xiaoya joked: "Listen, in the eyes of rich people, this 100 million is just pocket money, and from what you hear, it seems that Mr. Yang is sure to win! How should our Mr. Ma respond?"
"Sure, that's fine with me. Money doesn't matter to me right now. It's much more interesting to use it to make these business forecasts than to just keep it in my hands."
Lao Ma smiled, pretending to be a big shot as always, then looked at Yang Xiao and said, "How do you want to bet? If Alibaba becomes the number one in the online music market, you will lose 100 million to me? On the contrary, I will give you 100 million? Is that right?"
"No."
Yang Xiao shook his head and said, "It's too much to ask an outsider in an industry like Alibaba to be number one, even though you, Mr. Ma, do have the ability to do so.
But in order to show my care for seniors like Mr. Ma, as a junior, I should not take advantage of Mr. Ma.
I think the content of the bet can be changed to: if my company fails to become the market leader within three years, I will lose 100 million to Mr. Ma. "
"Oh? So confident? If I don't agree to your request, it will be my fault."
"Then please everyone present here and our friends in the media, we'll see the result in three years?"
Hearing Yang Xiao's firm tone, Lao Ma was a little surprised.
In fact, Yang Xiao suffered a bit of a loss in this bet.
After all, whoever wants to become the first in this industry will have to pay an extremely heavy price.
Originally, he wanted to give in to Yang Xiao, but he didn't expect that Yang Xiao didn't need him to give in at all.
Although Alibaba does intend to increase its stakes and attack the online music market, he is confident in this regard.
However, now that things have come to this, it would not be a bad idea to teach this arrogant young man a lesson.
"I can't help it. My head has always been pretty stubborn!"
Yang Xiao ignored the voices from the audience who were not optimistic about him, and patted his forehead lightly, "If it really doesn't work, Mr. Ma, you can clash with me now. I believe you are not my opponent."
"Wow, you're competing in stubbornness like this? Then I declare you the winner."
Lao Ma was stunned, and then cooperated with Yang Xiao to present the stage effects.
Hahahaha!
The second wave of bets has been made and the atmosphere on site has reached a climax. The ratings goals that the program team wants for different time periods should also be stably guaranteed.
The "duel between the Internet godfather and the Internet rising star" between Yang Xiao and Lao Ma came to an end.
The award ceremony will continue.
Next up is the announcement of the remaining winners, as well as a nomination award.
There are two winners.
A man named Lu Weiding, the CEO of Wanxiang Group.
This is a domestic top 15 company, ranking 8th in the machinery industry, 1th in the automobile industry, and st in the automobile parts industry.
It mainly produces auto parts. It has grown from an initial agricultural machinery factory to its current scale, which is pretty awesome.
Another winner is Zhou Haihong, the president of Hongdou Group.
The name Hongdou Group sounds a little informal.
But he is a company that started out as a men's clothing company.
Finally, this clothing-focused company has also expanded its business scope to include tires and pharmaceuticals!
It has more than ten subsidiaries!
It is also the controlling shareholder of "GM"!
Of course, this "General" company is not General Motors.
It is a tire manufacturing company in Jiangsu Province called General Technology.
They are all pillar companies in the domestic industry, and many people are in awe of them.
After the award ceremony, Yang Xiao received an invitation from Lao Ma to attend a dinner together.
While getting to know many bigwigs, I also met with several senior executives of CCTV.
It can be seen that no matter what the bet on the stage is, Lao Ma actually admires Yang Xiao very much.
Even though Yang Xiao is a little arrogant.
At the same time, before the award ceremony began or at the dinner after it, Yang Xiao got to know many bigwigs, and they exchanged business cards with each other.
In the business world, when there is no war, everyone is friends!
