It didn't matter that Boss Ma shouted. Everyone in the company immediately looked at him. Even Cai Chongxin, who was walking to the door, turned back immediately when he heard the shout.
Everyone knows that Boss Ma has been coveting this domain name for a long time.
Cai Chongxin had already advised him to get this domain name as soon as possible. Even if it costs US$10,000, the price is still worth it.
After all, our goal is to become an international company. For an international company, buying a domain name for US$10,000 is already very cheap.
Otherwise, once your company grows, the domain owner will keep raising the price.
By then, it will cost more to buy it.
However, Boss Ma did not take action in the end due to many considerations.
There are many reasons for not taking action.
First of all, this domain name is really expensive;
Secondly, there is no strong guarantee these days. If the other party is not trustworthy, the money may be wasted. After all, the other party is a Canadian. If he is cheated, there is no chance to call the police;
Thirdly, he always felt that only he would be interested in this domain name, and others would not buy it.
That's why he wanted to wait until the capital was negotiated before using capital money to purchase it.
But now, the cruel reality makes me regretful instantly.
If I had known that someone else was interested in this domain name, I would have gritted my teeth and taken it down...
At this time, Cai Chongxin had come to his computer.
Glancing at the screen, he frowned and said, "Are you using NetEase 163's email address, Chinese?"
"It looks like it!" Boss Ma nodded nervously: "It's really a ghost!"
He also noticed this detail, so he was very worried. He didn't know why a Chinese would take this domain name.
This domain name is quoted at US$10,000, which means that when Jeremy Xu buys this domain name, the actual price paid will definitely be no less than this amount!
Is he crazy? alibaba, this is a four-pin domain name! For the current domestic Internet, this domain name is worthless.
After all, registering a Shuangpin domain name these days can cost just a few dozen yuan, and to Chinese people, the Shuangpin vocabulary is more catchy.
Does alibaba have any special meaning to Jeremy Xu? !
Then the more important question comes, what is the intention of this person spending so much money to buy this domain name
Is he also going to set up a company called Alibaba
If that's the case, that's really tricky.
No matter what industry his Alibaba is in, as long as he has this domain name, he is an authentic Alibaba!
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little excited.
He has a strong obsession with this name, which has been lingering in his mind for a year, and he has never planned to change it.
Otherwise, when he first knew that this domain name was sold for US$10,000, he could have just thought of another name, and there would be no need to register the domain name alibaba-online as an alternative.
Cai Chongxin, who was on the side, knew that he was obsessed with this name, so he asked him: "Mr. Ma, what should we do now?"
Boss Ma said firmly: "No matter how much it costs, I will buy this domain name back!"
As soon as he thought about this, he immediately opened his mailbox and sent an email to Xu Yiyang's mailbox.
In the email, Boss Ma asked Xu Yiyang: "Hello friend, I saw the email address you left on the alibaba.com website, and I would like to ask, is your domain name for sale? If so, how much will it cost? "
Xu Yiyang received the email and looked at the sender's name, JackMa0910. It seemed that this was Boss Ma himself.
He didn't expect that the domain name had just been changed to his own today, and Boss Ma came over immediately. It seemed that he had been paying attention to this domain name.
Thinking of this, he replied an email to Boss Ma: "This domain name is not considered for sale yet, sorry."
A few minutes later, Boss Ma replied via email: "Friend, email chat is too inefficient. Do you have OICQ? Can we add a friend? My number is..."
Xu Yiyang couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that the big guys were still very harmonious even when they no longer wanted to be giants.
It is very likely that at that stage when everyone was in conflict, Boss Ma always used Mr. Ma’s QQ, and Mr. Ma would go to Taobao to shop if he had nothing to do.
But later, Boss Ma started Wangwang, Contact, and DingTalk;
Mr. Ma also launched Paipai, invested in JD.com, opened a WeChat store, and invested in Pinduoduo.
Is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality that the two of them spare no effort in targeting each other
In the final analysis, it's just because of the never-satisfied hearts in each other's hearts.
After sighing for a while, Xu Yiyang deleted his introduction to investors on OICQ, and then added Boss Ma as a friend.
Boss Ma immediately sent him a message: "Friend, at what price do you plan to sell this domain name?"
Xu Yiyang said: "I am not considering selling it, I plan to use it myself."
"For your own use?!" Boss Ma asked hurriedly: "I wonder what you are planning to do? Start a business?"
"Yes." Xu Yiyang said nonsense: "I am going to make a website for online reading of the world's classic fairy tales. After all, everyone has heard the story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves. It is catchy."
Boss Ma hurriedly said: "You can call her Frog Prince or Snow White. These two stories are more famous than Alibaba."
Xu Yiyang said: "No, I still like the story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves."
Boss Ma said: "I am willing to spend 100,000 yuan to buy your domain name!"
Xu Yiyang said: "I'm sorry, I'm not short of money. I asked a friend in Canada to buy this domain name for me. It cost 10,000 US dollars. It's impossible to sell it for a small difference."
Seeing this, Boss Ma became even more anxious and said, "If you think it's not enough, I can add more."
Xu Yiyang said: "It's not about money. I don't care even if you offer one million, because I really don't lack this money."
After saying that, Xu Yiyang added: "It is my obsession and feeling to make a fairy tale website."
Boss Ma was desperate and had to say: "I have actually been interested in this domain name for a long time. Because the previous owner of the domain name is overseas and it is inconvenient to trade, I have not made a move. Therefore, I hope that my friend will part with it. I will try my best to show my sincerity in the price."
Xu Yiyang said: "Brother, I've already told you, it's pointless to keep asking. If you really want this domain name, just wait until October. If my fairy tale website hasn't been launched by October, Let’s talk about domain names later.”
After speaking, Xu Yiyang recorded Boss Ma's OICQ number and deleted him directly from his friend list.
Boss Ma saw that the other party had deleted him, and he felt very depressed.
Cai Chongxin had been watching him chatting with Xu Yiyang, and now he looked at him and asked, "Mr. Ma, what should we do now?"
Boss Ma sighed and said: "The things are in other people's hands. There is no other way but to wait."
After finishing speaking, he said depressingly: "Spending $10,000 on a domain name to build a fairy tale website, isn't that just money to burn? How can there be any business model for this kind of project? Sooner or later it will become obsolete!"
Cai Chongxin said: "The only thing we can do is to pay attention every day. I hope his project will still be born."
…
At this time, Xu Yiyang was sitting cross-legged on the ground, excitedly looking at the laptop on the coffee table.
I have already contacted Boss Ma, and the rest will be left to time.
He speculated that investors like Lin Xiaru, who are familiar with Cai Chongxin, should have heard about Ali's project, but because Ali itself is not ready yet, investors should not have an in-depth understanding of it yet.
So he decided to perfect and polish his business plan and send it out in early August.
As a result, investors like Lin Xiaru and other investors should immediately lose confidence in investing in Alibaba, and then lose interest.
Although Boss Ma has gained some fame and connections in recent years, the capital industry is very cruel. Giving out umbrellas on sunny days and withdrawing umbrellas on rainy days is a common characteristic of all capitalists.
When you invest money in a person, you must be optimistic about the profit prospects of the project. If you lose confidence in his project, no one will throw millions of dollars at him for the sake of face and connections.
If Lin Xiaru does not take the lead on behalf of Goldman Sachs, and other capital is not optimistic, Boss Ma's financing will definitely encounter obstacles everywhere.
It is estimated that at that time, he no longer has the energy to buy a domain name from himself.
However, now that I have his email and OICQ, I can take the initiative to find him and say, "Hey buddy, my fairy tale website is not going to be built anymore. Do you still want this domain name?"
If he says yes, ask him what he wants to do, talk about his general business plan, and then pretend to be very interested and say to him: "That sounds good, do you need investment? If so, I will invest in you."
If he says no, ask him what's going on? If he doesn't say anything, just ask directly: "Did you encounter any setbacks? You might as well tell me and I'll see if I can help you solve it."
Anyway, the situation has been laid out, and then all roads will lead to Rome.
As long as Boss Ma is willing to invest his own money, he will provide the money and domain name with both hands to save him from dire straits.
While he was getting excited, a cartoon pony's avatar flashed in his friends list.
It was a message from Mr. Ma of Shenzhen City: "Mr. Xu, have you decided on your trip to Guangcheng?"
Mr. Ma has been very nervous these two days.
He was afraid that Xu Yiyang was just a flash in the pan. After talking about investing in him, he turned around and let go again.
So when I saw that his OICQ was online, I quickly came over and asked.
Xu Yiyang replied: "It's settled. I'll fly on Monday morning. When I arrive, I'll go find a law firm and hire a lawyer who specializes in investment and financing. On Tuesday morning, we'll meet in Guangcheng with our lawyers."
After seeing these words, Mr. Ma finally felt relieved.
In his opinion, Xu Yiyang's 4.8 million was life-saving food and grass, and he could not afford to lose anything.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Mr. Ma asked again: "Mr. Xu, have you booked a hotel? Do you want me to ask a friend to help you make arrangements?"
Xu Yiyang said: "No need, Mr. Ma. I have already called and made a reservation at the Hilton Hotel in Guangcheng. You and your lawyer can just come to the Hilton directly."
Mr. Ma said excitedly: "Okay Mr. Xu, then we will meet on Tuesday morning!"
Mr. Ma's words, to Xu Yiyang, are simply the call of the rich!
Xu Yiyang was even more excited than him, and he typed five words with trembling hands:
"Mr. Ma, see you on Tuesday!"
It’s coming to shelves! After twelve o'clock tonight, five chapters will be updated one after another.
