As we all know, Ma Xiaoyun has always been bold and unexpected.

Many people who don’t know Ma Xiaoyun think that Ma Xiaoyun is the kind of madman who “does not speak astonishingly” and likes to pretend to be profound and make some incredible remarks.

For example, he claimed at this "West Lake Sword Contest" that Alibaba will not go public, nor will it be listed for the sake of listing.

In addition, Ma Xiaoyun often emphasizes this concept in public: making money will never be the first goal.

In Ma Xiaoyun's view, there are three realms of making money. The first realm is what makes money and what is called doing business. When you do something and don't do something, you are building a business. Of course, the highest level is entrepreneurs who have a great mission and try to change the world.

A few months ago, Ma Xiaoyun started Taobao with 100 million yuan invested by Sun Shangyi. What was unexpected was his choice of how to make money.

Ma Xiaoyun also announced at the West Lake Sword Contest that in the next three years, everyone will be able to use Taobao, a trading platform for free.

Of course, Taobao’s free strategy must hide the purpose of attracting potential users and even attracting opponent users.

However, the three-year span is really too long, making people feel that Ma Xiaoyun is unrealistic.

Because according to the current development speed of Taobao, Taobao can reach the number of members necessary for the first trading website in China in less than three years.

The development process of the Internet in China has long told the world that burning money is a blind act. If you don’t make money, the opportunity to make money is likely to not come again.

Therefore, the Internet peers present all thought that Ma Xiaoyun was pretending and trying to die, and thought that his ideas were too whimsical. If Alibaba continues like this, it will be done sooner or later.

However, Lin Weidong had to sigh in his heart that Ma Xiaoyun is indeed a visionary entrepreneur. At least in terms of vision, he is much ahead of others.

After the West Lake Sword Contest was over, the big guys sat at a table to have a meal.

Lin Weidong also had dinner with other colleagues at the next table.

While drinking, Ma Xiaoyun called Lin Weidong to the corner and reminded him: "Weidong, don't leave after dinner later. I have already told Mr. Sun about your Century Chinese website. He promised me that he would give you five minutes."

Before Lin Weidong could answer, Ma Xiaoyun asked again: "Can you speak Japanese?"

Lin Weidong said frankly: "I will tell you a few words."

After hearing Lin Weidong's words, Ma Xiaoyun frowned and asked, "What words do you know?"

Lin Weidong told the truth: "Baga, Souga, Nani... will still..."

Ma Xiaoyun said angry and amused: "What else would you say?"

"Yafen butterfly."

Ma Xiaoyun said angrily: "Wei Dong, be serious, I'm not kidding you now."

Lin Weidong said with a hint of dismay: "Teacher Ma, don't you know me yet? I am a college teacher, what kind of Japanese do I know?"

Ma Xiaoyun asked again: "Then do you know how to speak English? You can use English. When I negotiated with Mr. Sun, I used English."

"If you can communicate with him directly in English, I believe the chances of success will be much greater!"

Lin Weidong said with a shame: "Sorry, Teacher Ma, I don't know much about English either."

Ma Xiaoyun sighed: "Forget it, then let the translator help translate."

After saying that, Ma Xiaoyun then asked, "Wei Dong, there is another thing I want to remind you that Masayoshi Son is a wise and foolish person. He looks dull and speaks weirdly, with almost no extra words, just like a character in martial arts."

"When you communicate with him, try not to talk nonsense, and don't have to be humble. You just need to briefly talk about your thoughts to him."

After hearing Ma Xiaoyun's words, Lin Weidong nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, Teacher Ma, I know what to do."

Although Century Chinese Network is facing the rise of Shanda Chinese Network and does need funds to compete with it, Lin Weidong is not very concerned about finding Masayoshi Son to invest.

Because Lin Weidong knew very well that many times, many things cannot be completely solved by money.

Just like Shanda Chinese Network, even if Cheng Tianqiao spends 100 million yuan in it every year, the development of Shanda Chinese Network may not necessarily surpass Century Chinese Network in the short term.

Moreover, Lin Weidong didn't really want to cooperate with the Japanese. If he could, he would rather accept Alibaba's investment.

However, what made Lin Weidong wonder was that Ma Xiaoyun rejected him without even thinking about it and told him a lot of truths: "Weidong, I personally think that games cannot change our country. China is originally an only child family. If the children play games, what will the country do in the future? So we don't invest in games. People invest in games, we applaud, but we don't do it. This is one of our principles. I hope you can understand."

Later, Lin Weidong met Son in a private room under the recommendation of Ma Xiaoyun.

Looking at the young and handsome Lin Weidong, Masayoshi Son did not beat around the bush, but asked in a scattered manner: "How much do you want?"?

Lin Weidong didn't expect Masayoshi Son to be so direct. After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't need money. If you are interested, I can introduce you to the situation of our Century Chinese website."

Although Masayoshi Son is known as the "Emperor of Online Investment", he has not paid attention to literary websites with little returns before.

So, Masayoshi Son asked his assistant to turn on the computer and tune out Century Chinese. Lin Weidong introduced him on the spot.

"Mr. Sun, our Century Chinese Network is an original literary website. It has long been committed to the exploration and cultivation of original literary authors, and has taken the development purpose of promoting the original Chinese literature as its development. It has taken this opportunity to create a new model of online paid reading, i.e. electronic publishing..."

"In addition to Century Chinese Network, I also founded Century Game Company. I want to use reading, games and other entertainment methods to attract users and leverage the entire entertainment industry chain..."

Ten minutes later, Masayoshi Son said: "Lin Weidong, I will send a delegation to your company for inspection in a few days."

Lin Weidong didn't show too much surprise, but just said politely: "Welcome to you."

After staying in Hangzhou for two days, Chen Liling returned to Shanghai first, while Lin Weidong went to the capital.

Originally, Lin Weidong went to the capital for the first time, mainly to meet Gao Yuanyuan, but she was not in the capital for promoting the new drama, so Lin Weidong met Huang Fei.

Although in the eyes of many media reporters, Huang Fei is an artist who is difficult to interview. She looks very arrogant and withdrawn, and is very difficult to get along with, but after Lin Weidong has been in contact with her for a long time, he has confirmed that the legends are all fake.

In fact, Huang Fei is not only not difficult to get along with, but she also likes to joke in private.

At least in front of Lin Weidong, Huang Fei has never had a bad face.

Of course, Lin Weidong is also very interested. This time he came to Beijing, he specially brought a demo of "Because of Love" to let Huang Fei and Eason Chan sing together.

Huang Fei has a special feature, which is that she has room for every song. Some singers are obviously fake in their hearts, but they are crying and calling their parents. Huang Fei has a lot of real emotions in her heart, but she sang them calmly.

Singing is like this and the same is true for people, being calm and at ease, being silent and arrogant.

Huang Fei liked the song "Because of Love", but she felt it was strange. She asked Lin Weidong: "Teacher Lin, why do you have to let me sing with him? Do you think I can't control this song alone?"

Lin Weidong smiled and denied: "Of course not. I just think this song is not suitable for single singing, but more suitable for male and female duets. If you can work with Eason Chan, I believe this will be a classic male and female chorus golden song."

Huang Fei had no objection to Lin Weidong's suggestion, but just asked him curiously: "Why is Eason Chan? Not someone else?"

Lin Weidong replied with a smile: "It's actually very simple. The song "Because of Love" was originally tailor-made for you."
