Alibaba Group, whether it is Alibaba's Internet platform or Alipay, has brought great convenience to our lives.
Behind the rapid development of Alibaba, in addition to the well-known Ma Yun team, there is also a partner, that is, Japan's SoftBank Group, it can be said that without SoftBank's silent efforts, there may be no current Alibaba.
But just a few days ago, a strong news came out that Japan's SoftBank will sell all Alibaba shares, which will undoubtedly make Alibaba completely "Made in China".
So, is this series of operations by SoftBank a business plan or is there another hidden story?
SoftBank sells shares, Ali finally becomes "Made in China"
This time, Japan's SoftBank Group did not hesitate to sell Alibaba shares, and there may be a shortage of funds within SoftBank Group, which will sell all Ali shares in one go.
However, this time for the SoftBank Group, which sold off Alibaba's shares, it is undoubtedly the biggest winner in this transaction, although the total transaction price is $209.7 billion, but it is a very big fortune for the current Japanese SoftBank Group, and SoftBank did not suffer losses in this transaction.
This is not the first time that SoftBank has sold Alibaba shares, as early as 2016, SoftBank sold Alibaba's shares once, when SoftBank began to sell Ali shares in order to acquire a chip company, and the capital chain was relatively tight.
But the price of this sell-off is much higher than the price of the first sell-off, which also makes many experts in the industry believe that SoftBank has really made money from selling shares this time, and luck is really good!
Of course, many people are very confused by SoftBank's frequent sell-off of Alibaba's equity, can it be said that SoftBank Group has been in a state of loss over the years? Why have you been selling off Ali shares?
Public opinion from the outside world continues, some people think that the reason why SoftBank is doing this is completely to make up for the previous loss state, and some people think that this is the next plan of SoftBank Group, thinking that SoftBank has long been not interested in Alibaba, after all, SoftBank is a Japanese company, so the operation of Ali Group will also affect SoftBank somewhat.
But now, no matter what the reason, for the current Alibaba, SoftBank's sale of shares is very good news, because this sell-off of SoftBank will all withdraw from the ranks of Alibaba shareholders, which means that Alibaba has officially become a Chinese group.
This is very good news for China and Alibaba, and it will also play a great role in Alibaba's future development.
Ali has become made in China, ushering in new development opportunities
Alibaba is a symbol of the Internet, and after Ma Yun created Alibaba, the company's income generation is even more soaring, coupled with Ma Yun's unique business acumen, so that Ali enterprises have also achieved excellent results in a short period of time, and have become a "dark horse" in the Internet industry.
As the main investor of Alibaba, SoftBank has indeed given great support to Alibaba, and under SoftBank's investment, Alibaba has more capital to compete internationally and find more opportunities to gain a firm foothold in the Chinese market.
With the development of the times, Alibaba Group has gradually expanded its scale in a short period of time, but at this time, SoftBank actually began to sell Ali shares, at first Ali did not think that SoftBank's behavior would cause losses to Ali, until this time, SoftBank sold all the shares, which does have a lot of impact on Ali.
Moreover, SoftBank's behavior has also changed the relationship between him and Alibaba, and even many outsiders speculate that there must be a gap between them, or that SoftBank has no choice but to sell Alibaba's shares under the threat of Japan.
No matter what the reason, after the absence of SoftBank's holding, Ali will once again return to the embrace of China and become "Made in China", although SoftBank's sale of equity has caused a certain loss to Ali, but in the future Alibaba will still be able to make a comeback with "sinicization", and in the future Alibaba will show greater potential.
After all, with the development of the times, China has begun to emerge in various fields, and China has always had the title of "big producer", I believe that under the promotion of Alibaba, the Chinese market will once again expand the scale, so that Chinese manufacturing all over the world.
Of course, he did not condemn SoftBank's sale of Alibaba's shares, but supported SoftBank's sale of Alibaba's shares, and expressed great "support" for this behavior, believing that only in this way can Alibaba have a good future, and it also has a good impetus for China's Internet.
Nowadays, SoftBank has successfully sold all the shares of Alibaba, and Ali has officially become "Made in China", Alibaba still has a very important position in the Internet in the mainland, and I believe that driven by the Chinese market, Alibaba can produce greater benefits and help the country increase economic output value with more development directions.
For any enterprise, being able to have multiple development directions will inevitably allow the company to have a better future, coupled with having more "partners", it can be said that Ali will only get better and better in the future.
This is also Alibaba's "rebirth" again, but this time it will be "Made in China" to show its strength in the world, I believe that under the leadership of Mr. Ma Yun, Alibaba will once again go to a new height, and at the same time, it will also "create brilliance" and become the most dominant enterprise in the world's Internet.
Masayoshi Son, an internationally renowned investor
Born in Japan in 1957, Masayoshi Son showed excellent economic acumen at a very young age, entered the University of California to study economics at the age of 16, and earned his first pot of gold at the age of 18.
After graduating from Son University, at the age of 24, he directly established a software bank, although it was not all smooth sailing in the process of starting a business, but fortunately, he did not give up after ten years of tempering, and when Son was 34 years old, he appeared on the list of $1 billion rich, and led the company to a successful listing.
Subsequently, Son was even more out of control, relying on his super high economic acumen, successively invested in some companies such as Yahoo and Alibaba, and his profits rose rapidly after the investment.
But every investor will experience a trough, and Son is no exception, in the following years, Son's assets began to continue to decline, and finally in 2020, Son officially announced his withdrawal from Alibaba Group.
Many people say that Son's exit is to alleviate his previous debts, but others say that he made up for his previous bad decisions, but Son is still a good investor.
end
Although the fate of Masayoshi Son and Alibaba is over, it has to be said that such a result is a win-win situation for both parties, not only alleviating Son's debt, but also allowing Alibaba to be "reborn" again.
