My Age of Investment

Lin'an, Ali's headquarters.

Cai Congxin knocked on an office with the words "Peach Blossom Island" written on it, and walked in.

As far as the eye can see, bookshelves, calligraphy and paintings, and tea tables... don't look like an office, but more like a study room decorated with antiques.

What spoils the style of the room a bit is the modern sofa under Ma Yun's buttocks, and in front of the sofa is a bottle of camphor wood root carving tea table.

Cai Congxin suggested to Ma Yun several times that it would be more natural to replace the sofa with a wooden stool, but Ma Yun refuted him: this is a combination of Chinese and Western, pragmatism, and drinking tea is more comfortable.

"Jack, you are looking for me."

Ma Yun nodded, beckoned Cai Congxin to sit down on the opposite sofa, and picked up the teapot to make a cup of tea for him.

Cai Congxin picked up the small teacup, sniffed it before drinking it, "The tea is not bad, isn't it the premium Longjing tea?"

Ma Yun chuckled, "Joseph, your tea-tasting skill is getting better and better!"

Cai Congxin smiled lightly. He didn't like drinking tea before, and usually drank coffee, but after joining Ahri, he also began to learn to drink tea and integrate into the group.

Ma Yun got up, took a piece of paper from the desk, and handed it to Cai Congxin.

After receiving the document, Cai Congxin glanced at it, raised his head and asked in doubt: "Jingxi Mall, with an annual turnover of only 80 million, can be considered a small e-commerce company. Why, are you interested in this company?"

Ma Yun smiled, "Do you think there is anything special about this company?"

"In the self-operated model, the types of products are all electronic and digital products, and I don't see too many special places."

Ma Yun nodded slightly, "Yes! I don't see what is special, but some people think it is special, or has great potential."

Cai Congxin was confused and asked, "What happened?"

Ma Yunchang sighed, "Xia Jingxing invested in this e-commerce company."

Hearing this, Cai Congxin frowned immediately, "What is he trying to do? Bet long? It shouldn't be! Ari is just like Qin Shihuang back then, sweeping Liuhe, and he is about to pick the fruits of victory.

At this juncture, why should he invest in another e-commerce company? Do you think the pattern of the e-commerce industry has not stabilized yet? Repeated? "

Ma Yun shook his head,

"I'm also a bit puzzled! Do you think it's because Ari bought Koubei, and Xia Jingxing gave us eye drops on purpose?"

"Not at all!"

Cai Congxin shook his head violently, and said in a firm tone: "No matter how young Xia Jingxing is, no matter how impulsive he is, he will not joke about the investment of 700 million US dollars.

Besides, Dianping is invested by Envision Capital, isn’t Ahri the same?

Our two invested companies compete with each other. Xia Jingxing has reason to mediate, but he has no reason to accuse one party. "

Ma Yun nodded and said yes.

"By the way, how did you know this news?" Cai Congxin asked.

Ma Yun said indifferently: "Xia Jingxing called me personally yesterday, and he told me that Fuxing Industrial Group would invest in an e-commerce website that mainly deals in electronic and electrical products, and expand the sales channels of Fuxing Industrial's products. He told me not to think too much about it.

After I got down, I asked someone to investigate Jingxi specially, and got the report in your hand. "

Cai Congxin asked: "Fuxing Industrial Group invested? Isn't it Envision Capital?"

"No!" Ma Yun shook his head.

"Then what's your attitude?"

Ma Yun smiled, "What attitude can I have? Don't say it is invested by Fuxing Industry, it is really invested by Vision Capital. What can I say? They have called you to explain it in person, which can be said to have given you enough face."

Cai Congxin looked pensive, and said after a while: "I reckon this matter is not simple, Xia Jingxing must have deep meaning."

"Yeah! I think so too, so I asked you to count it together."

Ma Yun has a serious expression. As a businessman with a keen sense of smell, the matter of Fuxing Industry investing in Beijing West is full of doubts, and he has to think about it.

Why not Vision Capital Investment? Fuxing Industry, a newly formed group, invested abroad so soon?

"Could it be Mingxiu plank road, secretly keeping Chencang?"

Cai Congxin adjusted his glasses, and said with a serious expression: "The companies invested by Vision Capital account for a very high proportion of shares, and the outside world has always suspected that some companies may be annexed.

In particular, Xia Jingxing is not an investor who focuses on the VC industry, and the rapid development of Hainei.com is very shocking! "

Liu Ruoxi understood it completely, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, you are so confident in the future of Jingxi, you should take more shares if you beat around the bush."

Xia Jingxing shook his head and laughed: "I don't have confidence in Jingxi, but I have confidence in you as a person. The boss of the company with an annual revenue of nearly 100 million personally delivers the goods. After all, it's rare!"

Liu Ruoxi laughed loudly: "That's fine, Mr. Xia, I agree."

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Seeing the two standing up and shaking hands at the same time, Fu Jixun was stunned, and then vaguely guessed some intentions of the boss.

Then, Fu Jixun took out the investment letter of intent from his briefcase, and quickly signed the contract with Liu Ruoxi.

After signing the contract, Xia Jingxing and Fu Jixun left Jingxi Company.

Fu Jixun resisted the desire to ask questions on the road, and couldn't help but ask after getting into the car: "Mr. Xia, is Jingxi really that good? It deserves our serious treatment."

"Taobao sells cheap goods, and the unit price of Jingxike is very high!"

Fu Jixun thought about this sentence repeatedly, and asked after a while: "You mean misplaced competition, and Jingxi can gain a place in the e-commerce industry."

"Liu Qianxi is capable!"

"Just because he personally delivered the courier?" Fu Jixun was puzzled.

"You say that he is like a famous general in ancient times, and you still don't allow him to make some achievements?"

Fu Jixun remained silent, and finally nodded after a long time: "That's right, many things are easy to say, but in fact, few people can really do it."

"That's the end of it. Can you read the financing plan every day? Go to the Zhongguancun coffee shop to guard the entrepreneurs? Go to participate in the due diligence?"

Fu Jixun sighed for a long time: "It's deafening! It seems that I seriously underestimated Liu Ruoxi."

Xia Jingxing didn't answer the call, Liu Ruoxi personally delivering the courier is nothing, but you have to see a deeper level, see the other party's spirit of daring to work hard for the cause.

Fu Jixun asked tentatively: "Ah Li... how do you explain it over there?"

This is also the reason why Fu Jixun is a little uncertain about Jingxi. You must know that Vision Capital has invested 700 million US dollars in Ari, which is more important?

"Explain? Explain what? We haven't signed any agreement with Ari. We are betting on the track and hedging risks."

Fu Jixun looked serious: "Mr. Xia, this is a little unreasonable. Out of consideration, you'd better communicate with Jack Ma in person."

Xia Jingxing shook his head, "Ari bought word-of-mouth, but he didn't inform us."

"Mr. Xia, don't get angry. The best solution is to have both ways, and neither side will offend."

Xia Jingxing sighed: "You're right! But do you think it's possible? We are important shareholders on both sides, and it's nothing right now, but if Jingxi expands quickly and Ahri cuts into B2C, sooner or later the two parties will make a real difference." fire."

"Or, let Fuxing Industrial Group invest?"

The reason why Fu Jixun felt that Xia Jingxing must be interested in Jingxi is because many products of Fuxing Industrial Group can be sold in Jingxi.

"This vest can't deceive anyone!" Xia Jingxing thought about it seriously, then shook his head.

Fu Jixun frowned: "But at the very least, Ahri was invested by Envision Capital, and Jingxi was invested by Fuxing Industry Group for the sake of the industrial chain."

Xia Jingxing smiled, this is another story about arresting Lu Xun, what does it have to do with Zhou Shuren.
