Giant of the times

After Ma Yun returned, he immediately found the partners of his Yellow Pages company and basically persuaded them easily without any effort.

In fact, it’s not really persuasion at all.

Ma Yun just presented the facts in a concise and concise manner. A few of them were inexplicably excited, and even felt proud and lucky. They felt that this was like pie in the sky, and it suddenly fell on their heads.

So that night, everyone went out to drink and celebrate!

On the next day, Ma Yun and others arrived at the appointed place as promised.

Jack Ma briefly introduced his partners.

Later, Li Zetian pointed to a middle-aged man next to him and said to Jack Ma: "This is Cai Chongxin, an outstanding professional manager who graduated from Yale University and has a senior venture capital background. He is currently the chief financial officer of Alibaba. Later, he I will take you to Alibaba headquarters!"

Jack Ma has actually been secretly sizing up Tsai Chongxin. He heard Li Zetian say yesterday that someone would take them to Alibaba. Obviously, this person is probably also an employee of Alibaba, and his position is not low.

"Hello, Mr. Tsai Chongxin!"

"Hello, Jack Ma!" Cai Chongxin said with a smile, his eyes constantly looking at the other person.

Compared with Ma Yun's kindness towards Cai Chongxin, Cai Chongxin is more curious about Ma Yun!

Cai Chong is quite confused about his confidence. It stands to reason that he did not graduate from a prestigious school and was a private English teacher. How did he become the CEO of Alibaba? Coupled with Ma Yun's unattractive appearance, this makes Cai Chongxin very puzzled!

Fortunately, Tsai Chongxin also heard Li Zetian introduce the Yellow Pages developed by Ma Yun and others, which gave Ma Yun a slight advantage.

Otherwise, Jack Ma would really be worthless in front of Cai Chongxin.

Li Zetian glanced at Ma Yun, then glanced at Cai Chongxin, snickering secretly in his heart.

In his previous life, Tsai Chongxin was fooled by Jack Ma when Alibaba was first established and became CFO. Tsai even gave up his job at a German investment company with an annual salary of 700,000 US dollars to join Jack Ma all the way, and only received 500 per month. With a salary of RMB 10,000, I helped Jack Ma register the company. If people like Tsai Chongxin did not join, Alibaba would be a family business that would always maintain its team with "emotions", "ideals" and "loyalty", rather than a truly standardized company!

Haha... Cai Chongxin will naturally see Ma Yun's magic skills in the future.

After a brief greeting, the two parties signed the agreement.

Li Zetian stopped going to the company with them to avoid causing a commotion.

At present, very few people know that Li Zetian founded Alibaba. Low profile is king!

Ma Yun and others followed Tsai Chongxin to Alibaba headquarters.

Since the company had just been established and was still small in scale, it only rented an office building on one floor in a prosperous area of ​​Hangzhou.

However, even so, in the eyes of the office building companies, Alibaba is very wealthy! Most start-up companies rent a room, but Alibaba rents a floor directly, but there are not many employees, less than 30 people in total.

When Jack Ma and others arrived at Alibaba, it happened to be lunch time.

Tsai Chongxin called all the employees out and had lunch together at a high-end restaurant downstairs. At the same time, he introduced the identities of Jack Ma and others.

As soon as Ma Yun walked into this restaurant, he felt a little familiar. He suddenly remembered that he applied for a waiter job in this restaurant more than a year ago, but was rejected because he was too shabby. The other party was not tactful at all. He directly said that Ma Yun was too ugly and was not even qualified to be a waiter here. This shocked Ma Yun so much that he finally gave up looking for a job and started his own business.

However, this is fate, being too ugly may not be a bad thing~~~

Although the restaurant is high-end, it is not large in scale. Once the people from Alibaba Company arrive, there will be no extra seats.

When the restaurant manager learned that people from Alibaba, which rented an office building on the first floor, were here, he immediately transformed into a waiter and came to serve them personally.

Cai Chongxin had eaten here several times. The restaurant manager knew him, so he looked at Cai Chongxin and asked: "Mr. Cai, what do you want to order?"

Tsai Chongxin shook his head and smiled, pointed at Jack Ma, and said: "This is the CEO of Alibaba, the top person in charge of the company. It is up to him to decide what to eat today! Mr. Ma, please order."

"Yeah." Ma Yun nodded.

The restaurant manager turned to look at Ma Yun and frowned. He seemed to have seen this extremely ugly man before...

"Hello, Manager Liu, we meet again!" Ma Yun said lukewarmly.

The shame of the past is still fresh in Ma Yun’s memory, how could he forget it? !

Manager Liu asked: "Are you...?"

"Don't you remember me? More than a year ago, I applied for a job as a waiter at your place, but you rejected me! You said that with my appearance, I was really ugly and despicable, and even the waiter who carried the plate and brought water was None of them deserve it. However, it seems that I should thank you! Thank you for not letting me go, otherwise, I might just be a waiter like you for the rest of my life!" Ma Yun said sarcastically.

The restaurant manager's expression suddenly changed. After Ma Yun reminded him, he had already remembered who Ma Yun was. Yes, it was the waiter candidate who he had mocked so much. 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 so humble that you could only laugh at me, but now, I am the CEO of an Internet company, and the CEO of a company under the name of Chronos Li, the world's richest man and Internet overlord. Either the me now or the me in the future will only make you unable to reach high! ! !

"Mr. Ma, do you want to change a restaurant?" Cai Chongxin asked in a low voice.

Ma Yun waved his hand and said with a smile: "You're here, let's eat here, just to experience the service quality of a so-called high-end restaurant!"

After speaking, Ma Yun picked up the menu and ordered.

The restaurant manager's face was very ugly, and he must be angry, but he had to endure 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 told him what happened in the restaurant.

Li Zetian nodded and said calmly: "Okay, I understand."

Not to mention Jack Ma, if Li Zetian encountered this kind of thing, he would also go crazy.

How could we just forget about that kind of shame and humiliation? Now that I have the opportunity to regain my position, of course I have to satirize myself properly.

…

After arranging for Ma Yun, Li Zetian and his party went to Shenzhen.

Shenzhen is the main location of Li Zetian's science and technology business in China, so he pays special attention to it.

In addition, Li Zetian also wants to invest in an express delivery 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, the founder of the company, Wang Wei, once aspired to be the richest man in China. The power of SF Express is evident!

Moreover, China's e-commerce is also in urgent need of powerful express delivery companies in the future. If it develops step by step like in its 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, 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 was growing rapidly. SF Express was frantically absorbing the ubiquitous nutrients in the express delivery market and developing rapidly.

The reason why Li Zetian wanted to invest in SF Express may be, firstly, because of his past life, and secondly, because he likes people like Wang Wei who have a hard-working spirit.

Is it hard to do express delivery?

It must be hard work. I leave early and come back late every day, riding a motorcycle through the streets, rain or shine.

When Wang Wei saw Li Zetian, he was completely confused!

Someone called and said that he wanted to invest in SF Express, but he didn't know that the investor was actually Li Zetian.

Wang Wei's nervous palms were sweating and he was speechless.

Li Zetian showed a warm smile and said in an approachable manner: "Hello, Wang Wei, are you surprised and nervous to see me? Haha, you don't need to be nervous. I'm not a monster."

Li Zetian also made a joke.

When Wang Wei heard what Li Zetian said, the tension in his heart eased slightly.

He was just an ordinary citizen, living at the bottom of society, working hard with hard work and sweat. When he suddenly saw the world's richest man, he felt nervous and at a loss as a natural reaction.

"Hello, Mr. Li! Please sit down!" Wang Wei stuttered.

"Um."

Li Zetian responded and sat down on a somewhat worn wooden chair.

SF Express has no office, just a large warehouse surrounded by packages.

Li Zetian looked around, then looked at Wang Wei and said, "I must have made my purpose clear on the phone. Yes, I plan to invest in SF Express!"

Wang Wei asked doubtfully: "Mr. Li, why do you want to invest in SF Express?"

Li Zetian smiled and said: "In addition to state-owned express companies, such as the postal service, there are not many decent private express companies in China. SF Express relies on Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and its business is developing well, and it can quickly expand its network reach. Extending beyond GD Province.”

After a pause, Li Zetian smiled and said: "Foreign e-commerce is developing rapidly, and express delivery companies have also been affected. As China is the most populous country in the world, once e-commerce develops, it will definitely increase its express delivery business. I am investing in SF Express today. It’s also to prepare for future development!”

Wang Wei's eyes sparkled when he heard Li Zetian's words, and he was secretly surprised. Hearing your words is worth ten years of reading.

At this moment, he seemed to feel that a door had opened towards him, and the world inside was full of wonderful things!

Express delivery seems to be his life's career!

At this time, Li Zetian paused and said: "Wang Wei, you can carefully consider my proposal. I am going to invest 20 million yuan in SF Express. If you accept it, I can leave you 5% of the shares. If you don't accept it, we will have to fight with each other, which I don't want to see! By then, SF Express will probably go bankrupt under the crushing force 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. When the company goes public in the future, the value of the 5% shares in your hand may increase dozens or even hundreds of times!"

SF Express is developing very smoothly, its business volume is increasing rapidly, and it is still worth hundreds of thousands of RMB.

Wang Wei suddenly fell silent.

Obviously, Li Zetian gave him a difficult problem.

At this moment, Shakespeare's words are most appropriate, "To be or not to be, that is a question worth considering!"

SF Express is a company that Wang Wei worked so hard to create. If he sells 95% of his shares all at once, he will definitely not be able to let it go, nor will he be willing to do so.

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 with 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, the 5% of the shares in your hand cannot be sold for at least 5 years. You will be the CEO of the company. , I will also send financial and some management talents to help Li manage the company later."

"Well, okay!" Wang Wei nodded, knowing what Li Zetian meant. No one would trust another person to manage a company. Li Zetian made this move because he was worried that he would sell his shares and leave the company; secondly, he would send someone to supervise him to prevent him from misappropriating funds casually.

I got the contract and signed it in one morning.

As for the funds and talent, they will arrive in a few days.

At noon, Li Zetian invited Wang Wei and the company's courier employees to make a meal.

Express delivery employees come and go. Although they don't make much money and their status is not high, Li Zetian still takes them very seriously without any condescending attitude.

After lunch, Li Zetian chatted with Wang Wei and others about the development of express delivery.

Li Zetian introduced the express delivery situation that he was familiar with in his previous life to Wang Wei and others, but many things he had never heard of.

This vision and this way of thinking couldn't help but shock them to the core. They were astonished!

"Mr. Li, have you ever done express delivery before?" Wang Wei couldn't help but ask.

Li Zetian smiled and shook his head: "No!"

"Then you are gifted and born to do express delivery!" Wang Wei was straight-tempered and said without thinking.

Damn it, do you think you are praising me?

Li Zetian smiled bitterly.

Now that Alibaba has been established and has also invested in SF Express, China's e-commerce will develop more smoothly in the future.

…

Two days later, Li Zetian took his family to Sanya to inspect, develop Sanya tourism, and build hotels, resorts, etc.

Well, it’s called an inspection, but it’s actually a trip.

Sanya is located at the southernmost tip of HN Island. It has tropical seaside scenery and is known as "Oriental Hawaii" with fresh air and pleasant scenery.

Li Zetian and his group were lying on the beach, 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 comfortable it was! Being so carefree, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoying the beauty and tenderness of nature, life is like a dream!

I stayed in Sanya for more than a week.

Later, 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 must combine work and rest.

After resting for a long time, I feel much more relaxed, and I feel more energetic at work 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 promoting the Honor Internet Café 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 helped hundreds of Chinese companies complete transactions with foreign countries.

B2B business began to surface, attracting great attention in the industry and being reported by many media around the world. Some media even compared Alibaba to Amazon.

And Jack Ma also became famous and went abroad.

At the same time, after receiving the funds, SF Express immediately began to recruit people for expansion, and reached cooperation with Alibaba, Amazon, and companies with express delivery needs under Li Zetian's name. Its development speed is as fast as a rocket, which is jaw-dropping!

However, Alibaba is in the light, SF Express is in the dark, and the two carriages are racing together!

In addition, Tencent, which Li Zetian ordered Dongfang Yuqin to register, has also developed the QQ instant messaging software, but it has not yet been released.

Li Zetian wants to test qq himself to see if there are any major bugs.

Li Zetian hopes that QQ software will become an instant hit.

Of course, the names Tencent and QQ have nothing to do with instant messaging software.

The reason why it was named this way was entirely because of Li Zetian's bad taste.

As a time traveler, I always have a different mentality towards well-known companies and celebrities in my previous life.

In fact, for the people, names are not that important.

When Google first came out, who knew what Google meant? But after Google became famous, everyone now knows it is a search engine.

Tencent's headquarters is naturally located in Los Angeles, which makes it convenient for Li Zetian to inspect the work at any time.
