Zhou Liwen and Lin Yaxuan understand similarly, but deep down he is not even planning to list Alipay, but just choose online e-commerce platforms such as Taobao and Ali. For this choice, he has his own selfish intentions and also considers the future development of the enterprise.

To be honest, these aspects are completely different. Now Alipay has become a climate as an online banking platform, and it can even be said that it has actually separated from the various platforms under the Internet Group. It is even bundled in Zhou Liwen's smartphone, coupled with the payment function of WeChat software, its prospects are extremely bright.

Compared with Alipay, e-commerce platforms are completely different. Although in the process of rapid development, in terms of users and scale, they have long surpassed the original eBay. Moreover, as online e-commerce squeezes the traditional department store industry, this fast business will still be prosperous in the next few years.

However, online e-commerce has a fatal disadvantage, that is, the amount of information is too large, the product quality is very different, the boundaries between the law against online e-commerce are blurred, etc. Once there is any disturbance, it will bring a big blow to the platform, and its risk resistance is far less powerful than Alipay. Therefore, in Zhou Liwen's subconscious mind, he even felt that throwing this business out appropriately and becoming a bait, and keeping his core Alipay is the best choice.

But the problem of doing this has not been solved. According to the plan of Fuguo and Goldman Sachs, they suggest bundled listing. Big players like Fuguo and Goldman Sachs are not fools. Of course, they can see that Alipay has more promising and valuable than online e-commerce platforms. If some of them are divested and listed, will the other party accept it? Moreover, if this is done, the overall value will decrease a lot, and the interests of shareholders are not as good as bundled listing.

After careful consideration, Zhou Liwen finally decided to try it. However, before convincing Fuguo and Goldman Sachs, he must appease the internal affairs, especially for people like Liu Ting and Ma Qingyang. Zhou Liwen must consider their feelings. Only by getting their support can he show off with those big players.

To this end, Zhou Liwen specially held a conference call, and the attendees were all senior executives of the Internet Group, including some managers who own options.

When Zhou Liwen told them in a conference call that the company was preparing to list the Internet group, it can be seen from the display that everyone was full of excitement and joy, and some people even began to secretly calculate how much their assets would reach after the Internet group went public.

But when Zhou Liwen said next, he was going to officially separate Alipay from the entire group and not join the listing ranks, but just listed Taobao, Ali and other online e-commerce platforms, many people suddenly showed surprise and disappointment on their faces.

"Jay Jay Chou, can I ask why? You know, Alipay, as a substantial online banking institution, accounts for a large proportion of the entire online group. If it is separated separately, not only will everyone's interests be damaged, but it will also lead to an underestimation of the listed market value." A vice president asked bluntly. His words basically represent everyone's ideas, and many people, including Ma Qingyang, also showed inquiry expressions.

"You said it right, that's why I thought about it." Zhou Liwen knew that this question could not be avoided. He then explained his views, especially pointing out that Alipay, as an online banking platform, is different from online e-commerce. Although the bundled listing can increase the market value of the entire network group, it is not suitable for the development strategy in the long run. Moreover, due to some reasons, Alipay will be affected, and even set up meaningless obstacles to Alipay's development in other e-commerce platform institutions.

"For interests, while divesting, the shares owned by each person, including options, will be rescheduled, and everything will be carried out in a strict and public audit. If someone has any objection to the distribution of shares, including options, he can review the audit information anytime, anywhere, or ask me directly."

This sentence made everyone feel much more at ease. Those who can participate in this online conference call are the elites of the group, and no one is a fool. The concerns and problems raised by Zhou Liwen also exist. Since Zhou Liwen has considered the interests of shares, the listing after the divestment will actually not be affected by everyone. Of course, after the final listing, due to the divestment of Alipay, the wealth they immediately obtained will be reduced a lot, but at least some of them are on Alipay, but they are not cashed out immediately.

"So Jay Chou, will Alipay go public after the online e-commerce platform?" Another vice president couldn't help asking. The Internet Group Company had once merged three companies, that is, Ali and Taobao merged, and then added the Alipay company, which was originally under Liu Ting's charge. The vice president was Liu Ting's old subordinate. He had been in the Alipay project before. After the establishment of the Internet Group, his substantial interests were more in Alipay, so if he was divested and listed, he would personally suffer the most.

Zhou Liwen didn't practice Tai Chi, and answered bluntly: "It won't be listed in the near future. This is a decision made considering the issue of listing between the two separately. And you also know that the financial market has not yet fully recovered. If the two are listed immediately, it will be unfavorable to the entire financial market. Moreover, from the perspective of securities institutions, this is not allowed."

Speaking of this, Zhou Liwen glanced at the vice president: "Of course, if someone has no confidence in Alipay, as chairman, I can replace each person's share structure, including option ratio after the audit is completed, that is, you can use Alipay's shares to replace the shares of the Internet Group after divestment."

When Zhou Liwen finished speaking, everyone's expressions were obviously relaxed, which meant that Zhou Liwen fulfilled it to everyone in advance. If this is the case, everyone's interests will basically not be damaged. As for whether Zhou Liwen can do this, everyone has no doubts. You should know that Zhou Liwen has the largest shareholding ratio in the entire Internet group. It can even be said that the total proportion of Renmin Da shares, including options, is not as good as that of Zhou Liwen.

"I have no problem, and I am not going to do any replacement. I will continue to hold it regardless of whether Alipay will be listed in the future." At this time, Liu Ting, who had not spoken, said, and nodded to Zhou Liwen with a smile, expressing her supportive attitude.

Everyone knows the relationship between Liu Ting and Zhou Liwen and his wife. It is natural for her to support Zhou Liwen at this time. Everyone is not surprised, but the next person's speech made some people stunned, because none of them expected that the second person who expressed support for Zhou Liwen's decision like Liu Ting, and also clearly replied that he was not going to replace Alipay's shares. He was actually the founder of Ali. Now the actual manager of the Internet Group is Ma Qingyang, who is known as one of the two giants in the group, as well as Liu Ting, within the group.
