Chapter 947: You can’t make a fortune by saving money, but you can make money by making money.
As Malitao stood up, several other people also stood up one after another.
They all glared at the man at the next table, almost ready to start a fight if given the order.
When the man saw that there were so many people at Malitao, although he still had an unconvinced look on his face, his momentum became weaker.
"Eating dinner is so unappetizing. Really, everyone is allowed in this restaurant. It doesn't look good."
"Waiter, Checkout!"
The waiter who had been standing not far away heard the shouting and quickly came over with the bill.
"Hello sir, you have spent a total of 289 yuan, and I will give you a 10% discount. Just pay 260 yuan."
"We haven't eaten the steak yet, please return it to me," the man said.
"I'm sorry, sir, the steak you ordered has already been cooked. You can continue to enjoy it, or take it away. You cannot refund it," the waiter said.
When he heard this, the man's face turned blue.
Everyone at Malitao's table was looking over here, hearing the conversation between this man and the waiter, and they were all teasing each other with interest.
"You see, the upper class are just different. They don't care whether they are hungry or not when they eat. They don't eat steak after they order it. Hey, they are rich and willful."
"Come on, you said it as if you knew about it. Whoever feels sorry for it knows it. There's nothing to be ashamed of in packing it. I just don't know if I can still bite the steak after it's cold."
"That's right. We have to finish eating before leaving. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to sit down and eat with our buttocks raised."
A few bad boys, you said something to me, teasing that person with your words.
He picked up the man.
I didn't even get a bite of the steak I ordered, and I had to pay for it.
The man's face turned pale, he took out his wallet, took out three hundred-dollar bills, and threw them to the waiter.
"Keep the change, please!"
After saying a word in a cold voice, the man left the restaurant with a stinky face.
When Malitao saw the man leaving, the anger on his face subsided a little, but he finally had a deeper understanding of the saying "Respect Luo Yi first and then respect others."
Zhang Song first transferred him one million Chinese coins and asked him to package himself.
It seems that what the other party did was indeed right.
"Everyone ate openly, eating the most expensive steak here, and drinking the most expensive red wine here. After eating for a while, we also went to the mall to walk around and get some suits to wear, so as not to encounter the teacher in the future.
You humble guy, I’ll treat you!”
"Marco is mighty!"
······
"Waiter! Bring the most expensive red wine here!" Malitao shouted to the waiter.
The little episode just now did not affect everyone's appetite.
Eat a lot of meat and drink a lot of wine.
Everyone was very happy.
For one meal, nine people ate more than 10,000 yuan. Fortunately, this is a high-end restaurant, and a POS machine that can swipe bank cards is installed. Malitao directly took out his bank card to pay.
After eating and drinking, Malitao took the Eight King Kongs and went directly to the nearest shopping mall.
Suits, bosses, leather shoes, Malitao gave everyone a new outfit.
Everyone changed into suits, and everyone looked more energetic.
"Brother Ma, don't tell me. The feeling of wearing a suit is a little different. I feel like a successful person. I feel swaying when I walk."
"I feel the same way, just like the big brother in the movie."
Malitao spent several thousand yuan and bought himself an imported wool suit, paired with a white shirt and a nice tie.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Malitao felt for the first time the good feeling about himself that successful people have.
Very mysterious.
"We're not going back to stay today. Let's stay in a five-star hotel!" Malitao said to the Eight King Kongs.
"Long live! Brother Marco is mighty!"
Everyone cheered.
No one wants to go back to that dark, damp basement with a musty smell everywhere.
At night, Malitao lay on the soft big bed of the five-star hotel, enjoying this comfortable life.
It turns out that having money feels so good.
"From now on, I will never be allowed to make do with anything I do! The same goes for work, and the same goes for life!" Malitao secretly made up his mind.
On the second day, Malitao and his eight kings had breakfast in the hotel, then hurried outside and started looking for a suitable office building.
Ali Tao could not continue to stay in that basement. They urgently needed to rent a spacious, bright and well-furnished office building.
After looking at three office buildings in a row, Malitao didn't take any fancy to them.
It’s not that there are no good office buildings in Hangzhou, but the rents are so high that Malitao never even considered them in the past.
But after what happened yesterday, Malitao completely understood the importance of appearance.
"Let's go to Huancheng International Building."
"Brother Ma, that is the most luxurious office building in Hangzhou. Isn't it too expensive?"
"The more expensive, the better. Alibaba is no longer the same as before. The customers we will come into contact with in the future will be of different levels. Setting up the company in Huancheng International Building will help us show our strength to customers in the future, and business will be easier."
many."
Malitao said.
After everyone heard this, they all thought Malitao was right.
Respect Luo Yi first and then respect others.
That guy yesterday was sarcastic just because they were not well dressed.
If Alibaba could work in Huancheng International Building, this problem would never arise.
Malitao and his party hurried to Huancheng International Building and directly contacted the leasing center.
The top floor has long been gone, either rented out to people working in finance or running law firms.
Malitao finally chose an office space of 500 square meters on the middle floor.
The rent is 5 yuan per square meter per day. If Malitao rents this place, he will have to pay 910,000 yuan in rent for one year, which is really staggering.
If this was done two days ago, Malitao himself would not have dared to even think about it.
"Brother Ma, why don't we look elsewhere? It's too expensive here."
"Yes, Brother Ma, five hundred square meters is a bit too big. Even if we want to exaggerate the scale and recruit a large number of new people, we can't use such a big place."
Some people's idea of frugality is engraved in their bones.
“Choose here!”
"Brothers, the most important thing for us now is not to think about how to save money, but to open our minds and think about how to make Alibaba bigger and stronger!"
"Don't waste everyone's time on these trivial matters. We must take a long-term view and do big things! No listed company develops by saving money. Money must be earned, you know!"
“You can’t make a fortune by saving money, you can only make money!”
Malitao said loudly to the eight people.
"knew!"
Chapter completed!
