Chapter six hundred and fiftieth chapters chat very happily
Today’s Mr. Ma is not the influential boss he was later, and Alibaba is only a medium-sized company.
The future of e-commerce is still uncertain, and not many people are optimistic about it.
For this type of innovative companies, many people cannot see the state's support, and even if they see it, they will not explain it clearly.
The first group of people who opened online stores basically made money. What’s the reason? It’s very simple. One word is “tax”. E-commerce merchants who started early almost did not have to pay tax. Later, as the scale of e-commerce became larger and larger, the tax department
Only then did he officially intervene.
"Mr. Fang is so honored to be here. It's a great honor." Teacher Ma's eloquence is naturally first-class.
Regarding some of the sayings he invented, such as 996 being a blessing, Fang Zhe felt that it would be understandable if a suffix of "give enough money" was added to this statement. You can do as much work as you pay for.
"You're welcome, just call me Xiao Fang." Fang Zhe's attitude was very humble, without any hint of "I am richer than you".
After some greetings, he entered and sat down in the living room. Fang Zhe looked across the way and said with a smile: "I also invested in Amazon in the United States, and I have raised my sign once. I am considered a small shareholder of Amazon."
Teacher Ma was very surprised when he heard this and said: "So Mr. Fang is also optimistic about the e-commerce industry? At this stage, there are very few people in China who are optimistic about it."
"The Internet era is changing too fast. It is easy for successful people to fall into the successful experiences of the past. Not to mention that since the reform, many people have not figured out how to make money. They rely entirely on luck. So it is normal to not be optimistic about new things.
, I am a person who prefers new things, so I heard that there are also e-commerce companies in China and decided to take a look. Unfortunately, I came late. "
Of course, Teacher Ma understood what Fang Zhe meant by "coming late", and smiled proudly: "I was also lucky, and I got the investment just now. Maybe it was because my company's reputation was not good before, and I couldn't get the favor of Mr. Fang.
, not as lucky as penguins."
Fang Zhe immediately laughed after hearing this: "I am a Penguin user, so I knew about this company and thought it was very good, so I invested some money. I didn't expect that the news would spread so quickly."
Teacher Ma listened to his sincere nonsense and felt contempt in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "Peak Fund invested in Penguin Company. When the contract was signed, the TV station went to interview it. All the famous media in the south were present. It was in newspapers and TV."
The implication is that you also said that this was not arranged by you?
Fang Zhe was really unjustly accused. He deliberately did not attend the signing ceremony just to avoid media interviews. But how others understand it is another matter. Probably Teacher Ma also thinks so. If you don’t want to be famous, you must
It's low-key, but Peak Fund needs to be high-profile in order to be famous.
Teacher Ma, who met Fang Zhe for the first time, said that he was lying if he said he was not envious. Especially since this product is accompanied by two bodyguards, except for the driver, who are all beautiful women. The leaders of the company under his name are all women.
, this is no longer news. It can be seen from this that this person’s preferences are really cool and reasonable.
"I am personally very optimistic about your company. If you have the opportunity to invest next time, please let me know." Fang Zhe took out his business card and handed one to Teacher Ma. The person who handed out the business card before was Zhao Jie, and Fang Zhe
Zhe didn't send any of them.
Teacher Ma looked at Fang Zhe's business card. It only had his name on it, as well as a phone number, an email address, and a QQ number. He was secretly pleased with himself. He didn't want Mr. Ma to have this kind of reputation, so he got the private contact information of the legendary low-key rich man.
Teacher Ma bets that the cost of this box of business cards is at most ten yuan, and no more. Such a rich man actually uses this kind of business card. The rumors in the world have been verified again. This low-key person is outrageous.
"It is an honor for our company to be favored by Mr. Xiao Fang. However, the company is in a state of turmoil right now. Otherwise, Mr. Xiao Fang should be asked to look around." Teacher Ma's words were considered modest and a bit defensive.
He has already received investment and will not be short of money for a while.
"It's understandable that this company doesn't look big now, but in ten to fifteen years, this company is likely to become one of the few big companies in the country and even the world." Fang Zhe said in a very calm tone.
Teacher Ma's eyes widened after hearing this judgment. How could he be so optimistic about Ali?
"What a shame! Alibaba is still a small company now." Teacher Ma hurriedly humbled himself. He really couldn't get mad now.
To be honest, Mr. Ma is still very charming. Otherwise, it would be impossible to gather a group of outstanding talents with just one idea and eventually build a great company that spans the ages. To be honest, no matter how many people in Alibaba go to hack,
None of this undermines the company's status. Through Alibaba, countless foreigners have realized China's absolute leadership in the fields of e-commerce and mobile payment.
Alibaba is not the originator of e-commerce, but it combines e-commerce, logistics, and mobile payment to create a monopoly and is the first of its kind. As for various things that happened later, I can only say that Mr. Ma is an out-and-out capitalist.
.
Since he is a capitalist, what he does and what he says is completely understandable. Whether he supports it or not is another matter.
In the reception room, Fang Zhe exchanged business compliments. In the ensuing conversation, Fang Zhe may have been unintentional, but what he said gave a lot of inspiration to Teacher Ma and the participants around him. How to run an e-commerce company, Fang Zhe
He didn't understand, but he knew what Ali did later. Fang Zhe didn't mean to enlighten him, but he just said that he was rude sometimes.
"I am optimistic about e-commerce because of two things. One is the country's emphasis on the Internet industry, and the other is the country's investment in infrastructure. These two points are the advantages of our country. After all, the investors in infrastructure are state-owned enterprises.
Even if you don’t make money, or you don’t make much, you will still do it. The e-commerce industry is inseparable from the cooperation of the Internet and the logistics industry. Alibaba seems to be a platform, but once this platform becomes big, its status will be irreversible.
When it’s replaceable, haha.”
Fang Zhe stopped mid-sentence. It's not that he couldn't say something, but that he shouldn't say it.
When many domestic industries are developing rapidly, everyone is looking at the big companies, and few people will think about infrastructure. Take mobile payment as an example. How can you pay without the Internet? You can always rely on the Internet.
It is a base station with comprehensive coverage. Compared with the most developed country in the world, the United States, where the population density is not high, it is a basic operation to have no mobile phone signal.
After all, it is a private enterprise, and capitalists will certainly not make unprofitable investments.
Nowadays, Alibaba's main focus is still on providing a platform for enterprises. The real take-off is the rise of the mobile Internet era. Without the great development of mobile Internet, a mobile phone can handle everything, which is how Alibaba took off.
Of course, Ali seized the opportunity and did the right thing at the right time. This is the most amazing thing.
The two parties had a pleasant conversation, mainly because Teacher Ma spoke very nicely, and Fang Zhe didn't have the airs of a rich man. Moreover, with an occasional sentence or two, it gave people the impression that he understood e-commerce, and was not just a layman.
He took the time to understand it.
At noon, Teacher Ma held a banquet in honor of Fang Zhe. It was in the building outside the building by the lake. It can be said that the treatment was extremely high.
When he was drinking and blushing, Teacher Ma said: "I intend to hold a gathering of Internet-related companies. Mr. Fang is considered a person in the industry. I wonder if he has the face to invite Mr. Fang to attend this gathering?"
Fang Zhe understood as soon as he heard it. This was the so-called "Lakeside Sword Discussing". This gathering brought together many industry leaders, and these people would become participants of Lakeside University in the future. Fang Zhe was not interested in this gathering.
I would like to participate, but as for Lakeside University, I would like to thank you. There are some things that businessmen should not touch.
"That's Fang Zhe's honor. I will definitely be there when the time comes to meet the heroes of the world." Fang Zhe agreed with a smile. Teacher Ma was immediately overjoyed and felt that he was very proud. After all, Fang Zhe's status is there, even though he has seniority.
Normal, but it rose too fast. In just seven or eight years, it streaked across the sky like a comet, astonishingly bright.
I just don’t know if this star is a shooting star. After all, in the last ten years, there were too many temporary heroes who rose and fell, such as the man who changed cans into airplanes. One day he was tiling the Great Wall, and the next he was blowing up the Himalayas. It’s really true.
After various horse flea manipulations, he was eventually put in jail. Fortunately, his sister-in-law never abandoned him, which is a good story.
Speaking of which, many of Mr. Ma’s words are no less generous than those of the big guys who changed planes. The impact they caused, at the time, was not bad at all in comparison.
Because Teacher Ma’s words were implicit but very clear, Fang Zhe naturally did not mention investing now. With a little regret, the proactive visit ended. Although there was no media publicity, as a rising company in the current industry,
Ali's rise in reputation in the industry is real.
Domestic Internet companies have the habit of listing in the United States these days. As long as they are Internet companies, they strive to be listed in the United States. Because some bad habits in China were brought out, and they were not done cleanly from beginning to end, and many scandals were caused later.
.
Of course, when it comes to listed companies cheating on their accounts, Enron is the leading company in the industry, and it has the endorsement of the president. Therefore, regardless of the eldest brother, not the second brother, all the capitalists in the world have the same routine.
After spending a night in Hangzhou, Fang Zhe returned early the next morning. Because he kept a low profile, there were no media interviews or local officials getting wind of the situation. Fang Zhe was very satisfied with this and felt that Teacher Ma would be successful in the future.
That's not just a boast, it's really beautiful.
The only thing Fang Zhe didn't expect was the impact he would have on these two companies by joining Penguin first and then Ahli.
After all, he is a man who can make all the difference in Nasdaq and Hong Kong City. He is so optimistic about these two companies, like coming in uninvited. Invisibly, the value of these two companies is greatly valued by industry insiders.
.
However, if you look at it well, these two companies will be half-dead in the next few years. This has caused many people to laugh at Fang Zhe, but that is beside the point.
