Recently, ma Dad's red hair does not stop, you pull out the wool party is happy, everyone is happy. But today, Ma Yun was in an annoying thing - Trump gave it to the pit!
Ma Yun was pits by Trump
Beijing time this morning U.S. Foreign Investment Committee (CFIUS) announced the "rejected ant payment service (Alipay) MoneyGram to America (MoneyGram) acquisition.
It is reported that since last January, Ma Yun approached the United States ant payment service speed Jinhui consulting acquisitions. After competing with the competitors, the bid price was three points higher than that of the rival Euronet Worldwide. Finally, the transaction agreement was reached at the rate of 1 billion 200 million US dollars.
What is the organization of MoneyGram?
MoneyGram is a world-famous remittance service company. Founded in 1940, it is headquartered in Dallas, USA, and has branches in more than 30 countries, and has 350 thousand outlets in more than 200 countries and regions. MoneyGram has a good partnership with banks all over the world. Its fast remittance business enables the funds to go to about 2 billion 400 million accounts in the world, including WAL-MART, CVS drugstore, British Post, Canada Post and ACE Cash Express, all of which are important partners.
The money goes to the 2 billion 400 million account in the world. If the ant has a gold suit, it will be an important step in its global business process, a big victory in the sea!
Although "Lang has an affectionate, Concubine", it has been delayed for a year and failed to get the consent of US regulators.
It is reported that some congressmen, including Republican Senator Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran, have sent letters to the US Treasury secretary who is also chairman of CFIUS, expressing their concern about the purchase of Tae Kim by ants. They believe that this may pose a threat to the national security of the United States, and US citizen information, including military personnel, may be leaked.
Though the ant Kim clothing once said that the data infrastructure of Tae king will remain in the US, personal information will be encrypted and kept in the security facilities in the US. But the US government obviously doesn't think so.
Trump is really too cunning! The same routine played two times. Visit China last time, front signed a $about 250000000000 single, express Hello everyone I am willing, the foot back to say hello to suddenly drop tax, playing "a fundamental solution". This time is the same routine, a few months ago with Ma photo, mutual chat, the results fell not recognize people, he led the Republicans to make up.
But Ma Yun has a misery
Despite such a ruthless rejection, Ma Yun has a misery. Because of the CFIUS, Ma had used it.
Who still remember 7 years ago, "Alipay storm"? Before 2010, Alipay also has the Alibaba system, the Alibaba or Hong Kong listed companies, YAHOO and Softbank holds a majority stake in Alibaba.
Since mid 2009, Ma Yun quietly Alipay from the Alibaba system stripped out, transferred to an independent own Private Companies.
This act is a thorough violation of the principle of good faith of the listed company. By May 12, 2010, YAHOO suddenly issued a statement saying, "the Alibaba Alipay online payment business group will be transferred to other companies, Alibaba did not obtain the group board of directors or shareholders approved, even not know". The news gave rise to a big wave.
The Alibaba quickly on the second day to explain, the reason is: in June 2010, the people's Bank of Chinese released "non-financial institution payment service management measures" provisions, pay business license to the applicant "legally established in the territory of People's Republic of China limited liability company or Limited by Share Ltd, and non financial institutions". So, in the opinion of the Alibaba, this is impossible. Ma Yun wanted to submit a formal application to YAHOO, but it was rejected by YAHOO.
In a later interview, Ma Yun said, "the security of payment data is not easy to give up by any country. It is a security issue rather than a national problem. My openness is no less than that of anyone, but I understand that the future era is the competition of data. The economic data we have in our country. In the United States, we are going to have the same problem. "
In 2010, Ma Yun did not think that 7 years later, his own words should be fulfilled. Since Americans really use the reasons to reject the acquisition, presumably Ma himself was rendered speechless. A $30 million boondoggle! If it was just a refusal to buy, but the purchase failed, the ant gold suit had to pay a $30 million "breakup fee" to the quick Huijin. This is really a big fall.
30 million dollars, it's two billion yuan! Although Ma Yun himself said, "a month to earn 2 billion is a very painful thing." But we close the national door to install Force is also even, white gave the old beauty, who can serve?
The country can't see it. Today, for the acquisition of the United States ant payment service remittance MoneyGram (MoneyGram) without the American Foreign Investment Committee (CFIUS) approved a Chinese, foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang at a regular press conference said in response, we hope the United States will provide a fair and predictable environment for China enterprises.
In fact, some analysts also said that this is the contraction of the US's intention to invest in China and Russia on the "foreign investment" policy, mainly because of the fear that China and Russia buy the core technology of the US.
It is said that the new policy will set up a "country of particular concern" and "exemption", Chinese and Russia will be included in the "country of particular concern", every one of us acquisitions will be strict examination, related to the core technology or the security of the United States may not pass; and Japan, Britain, Germany may become "exemptions".
Ant gold clothing in the United States planted a big somersault, but also told us a truth, that is, there is no forever friend, only the eternal interests. Even in some countries, even a quarter of friends can not become, especially Trump, must be far away!
