After Ma Yun went back, he immediately found the partners of his Yellow Pages company. Basically, he easily persuaded them to succeed.
In fact, it's hardly persuasion at all.
Ma Yun just presented the facts in a succinct manner, and a few of them were inexplicably excited, even proud and lucky, thinking that it was like a pie from the sky, and suddenly hit them on the head.
So that night, everyone went out to drink and celebrate!
On the second day, Ma Yun and others arrived at the appointed place as scheduled.
Jack Ma briefly introduced his partner.
Later, Li Zetian pointed to a middle-aged man beside him and said to Ma Yun: "This is Cai Chongxin, an excellent professional manager with a senior venture capital background, who graduated from Yale University. He is currently the chief financial officer of Alibaba. Later, he I will take you to Alibaba headquarters!"
In fact, Jack Ma has been secretly looking at Cai Chongxin. He heard Li Zetian say yesterday that someone will take them to Alibaba. Obviously, this person is likely to be an employee of Alibaba, and his position is not low.
"Hello, Mr. Cai Chongxin!"
"Hello, Jack Ma!" Cai Chongxin said with a smile, looking at each other constantly.
Compared with Ma Yun's kindness to Cai Chongxin, Cai Chongxin is more curious about Ma Yun!
Cai Chongxin is quite puzzled. It stands to reason that he graduated from a non-famous school and is a private training teacher who teaches English. How did he become the CEO of Alibaba? Coupled with Ma Yun's unremarkable appearance, this makes Cai Chongxin very puzzled!
Fortunately, Cai Chongxin also listened to Li Zetian's introduction to the Yellow Pages developed by Ma Yun and others, which is a slight bonus to Ma Yun.
Otherwise, Jack Ma would really be worthless in front of Cai Chongxin.
Li Zetian glanced at Ma Yun, then at Cai Chongxin, snickering inwardly.
In his previous life, Cai Chongxin was fooled by Jack Ma when Alibaba was first established, and became CFO CFO. Even Cai Chongxin gave up his job in a German investment company with an annual salary of $700,000, and came all the way to go to Jack Ma, and only received 500 per month. With a salary of RMB, he helped Jack Ma to register the company. If people like Cai Chongxin did not join, Alibaba would be a family business, and would always maintain the team with "feelings", "ideals" and "loyalty", rather than a truly standardized company!
Hehe... Ma Yun's magic trick of fooling, Cai Chongxin will naturally see it in the future.
After a brief greeting, the two sides signed the agreement.
Li Zetian did not go to the company with them, so as not to cause a commotion.
Right now, very few people know that Li Zetian founded Alibaba, and low-key is king!
Ma Yun and others followed Cai Chongxin to Alibaba headquarters.
Since the company has just been established and the scale is still small, it just rented a floor of office buildings in the prosperous area of Hangzhou.
However, even so, in the eyes of office building companies, Alibaba is very rich! The average start-up company rents one room, and Alibaba directly rents one floor, but there are not many employees, less than 30 people in total.
When Jack Ma and others came to Alibaba, it happened to be lunch time.
Cai Chongxin called all the employees out and had lunch at a high-end restaurant downstairs, and at the same time introduced the identities of Ma Yun and others.
As soon as Jack Ma walked into this restaurant, he felt a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that he had applied for a waiter job in this restaurant more than a year ago, but he was rejected because of his shabby appearance. The other party was not euphemistic at all, and directly said that Ma Yun was too ugly, and he was not qualified to be a waiter here.
However, fate is like this, looking too ugly is not necessarily a good thing~~~
Although the restaurant is high-end, it is not large in scale. As soon as Alibaba's people come, there will be no more seats.
The restaurant manager learned that all the people from Alibaba, which rented the next floor of the office building, were here, and immediately turned into a waiter and came to serve them in person.
Cai Chongxin had eaten here several times. The restaurant manager knew him and looked at Cai Chongxin and asked, "Mr. Cai, what do you want?"
Cai Chongxin shook his head and smiled, pointed at Ma Yun, and said, "This is the CEO of Alibaba, the top person in charge of the company. It's up to him to decide what to eat today! President Ma, come and order."
"Yeah." Ma Yun nodded.
The restaurant manager turned his head to look at Ma Yun, he frowned, this extremely ugly man, he seems to have seen...
"Manager Liu, hello, we meet again!" Ma Yun said lukewarm.
The shame of the past is still fresh in Jack Ma's memory, how can he forget it? !
Manager Liu asked, "Are you...?"
"Don't you remember me? More than a year ago, I applied for a waiter with you, but I was rejected by you! You said, as far as my appearance is concerned, it is really ugly, disgraceful, and even the waiter who brings dishes and water I don't deserve it. However, it seems that I should thank you! Thank you for not wanting me in the first place, otherwise, I might be just a waiter just like you all my life!" Ma Yun sarcastically said.
The restaurant manager's face changed suddenly. After being reminded by Ma Yun, he had already remembered who Ma Yun was. That's right, it was the waiter candidate who had been mocked by him. I never thought that he is now the CEO of an Internet company. I heard that the registered capital alone is as high as tens of millions of dollars!
The corner of Ma Yun's mouth rose, revealing a cold smile. At first, I was humble and could only make you laugh, but now, I am the CEO of an Internet company, and the CEO of a company under the name of Chronos Li, the richest man in the world and Internet overlord, no matter what. Whether it is me now or me in the future, it will only make you unable to climb high! ! !
"Mr. Ma, do you want to change to another restaurant?" Cai Chongxin asked in a low voice.
Ma Yun waved his hand and said with a smile: "I've come here, just eat here, just to experience the service quality of the so-called high-end restaurant!"
After speaking, Ma Yun picked up the menu and ordered.
The restaurant manager's face was very ugly, and his heart must be full of anger, but he had to bear it no matter what, he was just the manager, not the owner of the restaurant, and Ma Yun didn't say anything to him, and even thanked him.
After lunch, Cai Chongxin secretly called Li Zetian and recounted what happened in the restaurant.
Li Zetian nodded and said lightly, "Okay, I see."
Not to mention Ma Yun, if Li Zetian encountered such a thing, he would also be furious.
That kind of humiliation, how can you just forget it? Now I have a chance to get back to the scene, and of course I have to ironically go back.
…
After Ma Yun was arranged, Li Zetian and his party went to Shenzhen.
Shenzhen is the main location of Li Zetian's technology career in China, so it is particularly concerned.
In addition, Li Zetian also wants to invest in a courier company here.
Li Zetian sent someone to investigate and found that SF Express was established in 1993 and is currently a start-up company. However, as everyone knows, SF Express is very powerful. Later, after the company went public, Wang Wei, the founder of the company, once became the richest man in China. The strength of SF Express can be seen!
Moreover, China's e-commerce is in urgent need of powerful express delivery companies. If it develops step by step as in the previous life, it will definitely affect the development speed of China's e-commerce. Li Zetian can't wait.
After arriving in Shenzhen, Li Zetian directly sent someone to contact SF Express.
At this time, the scale of SF Express was very small, with only a dozen people, and its business scope only covered Shenzhen and Hong Kong. However, the demand for Shenzhen-Hong Kong parcels grew rapidly. SF Express was madly absorbing nutrients from the express market and developing rapidly.
The reason why Li Zetian wants to invest in SF Express may be because of his previous life, and secondly because he likes a hard-working person like Wang Wei.
Is it hard to be a courier
It must be hard work. I go out early and come back late every day, riding a motorcycle through the streets and alleys, rain or shine.
When Wang Wei saw Li Zetian, he was completely stunned!
Someone called and said that they wanted to invest in SF Express, but they did not know that the investor was Li Zetian.
Wang Wei's nervous palms were sweating, and he was speechless.
Li Zetian showed a warm smile and said approachably, "Wang Wei, hello, are you surprised and nervous when you see me? Hehe, you don't need to be nervous, I'm not a monster."
Li Zetian also joked.
When Wang Wei heard what Li Zetian said, the tension in his heart decreased slightly.
He is just an ordinary person, living at the bottom of society, working hard with labor and sweat, and suddenly seeing the world's richest man for a while, nervous and at a loss is a natural reaction.
"You... hello, Mr. Li! Please take a seat!" Wang Wei stammered.
"Um."
Li Zetian responded and sat down on a somewhat worn wooden chair.
SF Express doesn't have an office, just a big warehouse full of packages.
Li Zetian looked around for a while, then looked at Wang Wei and said, "My intentions must have been made clear on the phone. That's right, I plan to invest in SF Express!"
Wang Wei asked suspiciously, "Mr. Li, why do you want to invest in SF Express?"
Li Zetian said with a smile: "In China, apart from the state-run express companies, such as the postal service, there are not many decent private express companies. SF Express relies on Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and its business development is good, and it can quickly expand the network's tentacles. extend beyond Guangdong Province.”
After a pause, Li Zetian smiled and said: "The rapid development of foreign e-commerce has also affected express delivery companies. As a country with the largest population in the world, once e-commerce develops, it will greatly increase the express delivery business. I invest in SF Express today, It is also preparing for the future development!”
Li Zetian's words made Wang Wei's eyes sparkle, and he was secretly pleasantly surprised. He really listened to your words, and it was ten years better than reading a book.
At this moment, he seemed to feel that a door was opened towards him, and the world inside was full of wonder!
Express delivery seems to be his life's business!
At this time, Li Zetian paused and said, "Wang Wei, you can consider my proposal carefully, I am going to invest 20 million RMB in SF Express, if you accept it, I can leave you 5% of the shares. If you don't accept it, you can only fight against each other. This is what I don't want to see! At that time, SF Express will probably go bankrupt under the pressure of powerful capital. This is by no means alarmist, but I have this Confidence. On the contrary, if you accept my investment, SF Express will develop faster, and in the future the company will be listed, and the value of your 5% shares may increase dozens of times, even hundreds of times!”
SF Express has developed very smoothly, and its business volume has increased rapidly, and it is still worth hundreds of thousands of RMB.
Wang Wei was silent for a while.
Obviously, Li Zetian gave him a difficult problem.
At this moment, Shakespeare's words are most appropriate, "To live or to perish, this is a question worth considering!"
SF Express is a company founded by Wang Wei's painstaking efforts. It must be unbearable and unwilling to sell 95% of its shares all at once.
However, he is also a smart man, otherwise he would not have achieved such great success in his previous life.
After thinking for a while, he replied, "Mr. Li, I agree to your conditions!"
Li Zetian smiled and nodded and said, "Wang Wei, believe me, this is the most successful decision you have ever made. Oh, by the way, your 5% shares cannot be sold for at least 5 years. You are the CEO of the company. , I will send financial and some management talents to help manage the company later."
"Well, okay!" Wang Wei nodded, knowing Li Zetian's meaning in his heart, and no one would feel at ease handing over a company to others to manage. Li Zetian's move was because he was worried that he would sell his shares and leave with a burden; the second was to send someone to supervise him to prevent him from misappropriating funds.
Get the contract in one morning and sign it.
As for funding and talent, it will arrive in a few days.
At noon, Li Zetian asked Wang Wei to have a meal with the company's courier employees.
The courier workers went through the wind and rain. Although they didn't earn much money and their status was not high, Li Zetian still attached great importance to them and did not have a condescending attitude at all.
After lunch, Li Zetian chatted with Wang Wei and others about the development of express delivery.
Li Zetian introduced Wang Wei and others about the express delivery situation he knew in his previous life, and many things were unheard of.
This vision, this way of thinking, can't help but shock them, astonished!
"Mr. Li, have you ever done express delivery before?" Wang Wei couldn't help asking.
Li Zetian smiled and shook his head: "No!"
"Then you are talented, and you are born to be a courier!" Wang Wei said without thinking.
Nima, are you complimenting me
Li Zetian smiled bitterly.
At present, Alibaba has been established, and it has also invested in SF Express, so China's e-commerce can develop more smoothly in the future.
…
Two days later, Li Zetian took his family to Sanya to investigate, develop Sanya tourism, build hotels, resorts and so on.
Well, it's called an inspection, but it's actually a trip.
Located at the southernmost tip of Hainan Island, Sanya has the characteristics of tropical seaside scenery and is known as "Oriental Hawaii", with fresh air and pleasant scenery.
Li Zetian and his party were lying on the beach by the sea, blowing the warm sea breeze, looking at the blue sky during the day, basking in the sun, or walking barefoot in the sea against the waves, how pleasant! Such a carefree, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoying the beauty and tenderness of nature to the fullest, life should be a big deal!
I stayed in Sanya for more than a week.
Subsequently, Li Zetian's parents returned to Hong Kong.
Li Zetian's family returned to Los Angeles, and his sister Zhou Qiqi went to Stanford University.
People have to combine work and rest.
After resting for a long time, people are much more relaxed, and work is more energetic than before.
The development of Alibaba's website went very smoothly. On April 1, the website was officially launched. Li Zetian used some resources, such as promotion on the Glory Internet Cafe Internet Cafe Management Software, Sprint Internet Dial-Up Software and Yahoo Website.
For a time, many people knew about the existence of Alibaba!
In less than a week, Alibaba has helped hundreds of Chinese companies complete transactions with foreign countries.
B2B business began to surface, aroused great attention in the industry, and was reported by many media around the world, and some media even compared Alibaba with Amazon.
And Jack Ma is also famous for going abroad.
At the same time, after the funds of SF Express arrived, it immediately began to recruit and expand, and reached cooperation with Alibaba, Amazon, and Li Zetian's companies with express delivery needs. Its development speed is like a rocket, which is astounding!
However, Alibaba is in the bright, SF Express is in the dark, and the two carriages keep pace!
In addition, Li Zetian instructed the Tencent company registered by Dongfang Yuqin to have developed the QQ instant messaging software, but it has not yet been released.
Li Zetian wants to personally test QQ to see if there are any major bugs.
Li Zetian hoped that QQ software would become an instant hit.
Of course, the names of Tencent and QQ are associated with instant messaging software and have nothing to do with it.
The reason for this name is entirely because of Li Zetian's bad taste.
As a member of Transmigration, I always have a different mentality towards well-known companies and celebrities in my previous life.
In fact, for the public, the name is not so important.
When Google first came out, who knew what Google meant? But after Google became famous, everyone now knows that it is a search engine.
Tencent's headquarters is naturally located in Los Angeles, so it is convenient for Li Zetian to come to inspect work at any time.
