In the evening, Chen Yang was invited to a restaurant by the West Lake.

"Mr. Chen, welcome, welcome!"

Ma Baba came to greet him personally.

He has been waiting for Chen Yang here for a long time.

Chen Yang also smiled and shook hands with him.

Ma Baba also invited some other friends, basically all of them are big business owners in Hangzhou.

Everyone has heard of Chen Yang's name, and they happily came over to get to know Chen Yang.

At this time, Lao Hu held a heavy box and placed it in front of everyone.

"Mr. Ma invites you to dinner. You can't come empty-handed. A little gift is no sign of respect. I wish Ali's father a prosperous business and I wish Mr. Ma success."

Chen Yang said with a smile.

Lao Hu immediately opened the lid of the box.

A statue of Immediate Success made of pure gold appeared in front of everyone.

The golden horse gallops and success is imminent!

Good meaning, good luck.

Ma Baba liked it very much.

Because his surname is Ma.

Ouch!

What a big deal!

Everyone's eyes also lit up.

Someone also recognized that this ornament was made by a certain jewelry company. It took several kilograms of gold to create and was worth 888,000.

Nearly a million!

As expected of the boss of Neptune, he is very wealthy.

The action is naturally extraordinary.

"Mr. Chen is too polite. Mr. Chen is too polite."

Ma Baba was also very happy.

Although one million is not a big sum of money in everyone's eyes, it is still a bit painful to spend this amount of money to buy gifts for others.

This young man is quite interesting.

First, he exempted Ali from 300 million in advertising fees, and then gave him such a generous gift.

Ma Baba was very happy and personally led Chen Yang to the restaurant.

The decoration of this restaurant is not too high-end, but it is very elegant, and the waiters are also very distinctive. Their uniforms are light green cheongsam with a Chinese style.

The small bridge and flowing water in the restaurant are quite artistic.

"Mr. Chen, sit over here, sit over here!"

As the host of the dinner, Ma Baba sat at the main seat without hesitation, and then asked Chen Yang to be his right hand.

Chen Yang was the most distinguished guest he entertained, and he should be in the position of host and guest.

The rest of the people are not so particular and are all friends.

Everyone sat casually in a circle around the two people.

"This is Mr. Chen from Neptune Group. Everyone has met him before."

Ma Baba introduced Chen Yang emphatically.

Although Neptune only makes medicinal materials, it has become a legend in the e-commerce industry. Everyone here has something to do with e-commerce, so they are no strangers to Neptune.

Then, Ma Baba introduced the people around him to Chen Yang.

This time, he also wanted to have further contact with Chen Yang, so he called all his friends over.

They are all businessmen!

There are benefits to making more friends.

You never know when you will need it.

Chen Yang also nodded in greeting.

Friendship!

Once alive, twice mature.

We are all in business, and no one can say that we cannot use anyone.

Now Ali's coffee status is not as good as that of Neptune, and these people's coffee status is not as good as that of Ma Baba.

But Chen Yang was still very enthusiastic about getting to know everyone.

Seeing Chen Yang's enthusiasm, everyone felt good about him.

After a few glasses of wine, everyone started chatting lively.

During this period, someone asked about Alibaba’s latest financing situation.

Ma Baba also told the truth: "In February this year, the previous investors were willing to invest an additional US$60 million."

congratulations!

Everyone sent their blessings together.

Alibaba's recent development momentum has been very strong. It already has 100,000 employees and dozens of branches and subsidiaries at all levels. At present, the group has officially begun to make profits.

Therefore, capital investors are very optimistic about it and it is natural for them to invest heavily.

Alibaba has one foot on the threshold of going public.

Next, you just need to prepare the financial statements, and there will be a steady influx of funds.

"Mr. Chen, I wonder when Neptune will be listed for financing?"

one of the guests asked.

This is what everyone wants to ask.

It stands to reason that Neptune's structure and assets fully meet the conditions for listing, and its output value and profitability far exceed those of listed companies.

As long as Neptune goes public, it will definitely be pursued by capital, and it will not be a problem for the market value to increase dozens or hundreds of times.

But why has there been no movement from Neptune?

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped talking, and even Ma Baba listened attentively.

"Neptune is in the medicinal materials business. Everyone knows that the medicinal materials business is a niche industry with a very low ceiling."

Chen Yang smiled and explained a few words.

He is not short of money, so why go public?

Besides, now is not the time.

"Mr. Chen, that is not a niche industry with annual sales of tens of billions. Which of these listed companies can achieve tens of billions in revenue? If Neptune is a niche industry, then aren't we all just street vendors?

"

One customer laughed at himself.

Although Alibaba is the leader in e-commerce.

But their size and revenue pale in comparison to Neptune.

Last year, Aquaman's sales reached an astonishing 10 billion.

What is the concept of ten billion?

At present, all e-commerce companies combined are less than a fraction of others.

Fortunately, Neptune only makes medicinal materials. If they were engaged in other industries, they would have closed down long ago.

Not bad!

Everyone nodded.

Although the medicinal materials industry is niche, the demand is not small. What about the market worth hundreds of billions every year?

"Although the revenue is high, the profit is relatively small. It can barely cover Hukou, right?"

Chen Yang said modestly.

It’s true that last year’s revenue was 10 billion, but Neptune is a service-oriented company. After costs and taxes, the profit is only 10%.

Of course, this is just the profit from Neptune’s medicinal materials business.

If you include testing revenue, logistics revenue and foreign trade profits, it would have already exceeded 2 billion.
