摘要

Five days before closing a planned $12 million funding round in June 2013, Thiru Arunachalam and Bala Krishnan, founders of remote control app maker Peel, received an unexpected phone call. TransLink Capital, one of Peel's soon-to-be investors, asked them to consider taking an additional $1 million from a Chinese company called Alibaba, a name they barely knew. "Listen, this is too late in the game," Arunachalam recalls saying, given that it was a Monday and he anxiously wanted to close the deal by Friday. "Let's just leave them alone and move on." But their suitor would not be turned away. Within 48 hours Alibaba offered to put in $5 million-helping to pump the funding round up to $18.9 million-and sent over a two-page memo explaining its e-commerce business and ambitions in entertainment. By Thursday morning Hongping Zhang, managing director of Alibaba Capital Partners, showed up at Peel's door in Mountain View, Calif, and wooed the two cofounders over a long lunch. That night, already Friday Beijing time, Alibaba shot over the cash.
