Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: November 1, 2003}

{Location: Flower Planting-Special Zone}

From a psychological point of view, over-paying is a kind of psychological disease. If we really want to talk about it, we have to find the cause from the family of origin. However, the problems caused by the over-medicalization of the family of origin are not good for people like me who are relatively lightly "injured".

That's overkill.

Because although I grew up in a family where there was no imbalance between effort and reward, except for the bad way of getting along as a couple, my parents had no problems in other aspects.

Therefore, as long as you have the consciousness to correct the parts that have subtly affected you, you will naturally have the opportunity to make changes. As for the problems between parents, based on their emotional foundation, as long as they are willing, they will realize the existence of the problem and make changes.

What makes Ning Zimo happy is that his parents not only listened to what he said that day but also took action. As for better results, it will take time.

But no matter what, after returning from abroad, I went home every night, and my parents seemed to be developing in a good direction.

Um,

family,

As long as we work together,

There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome.

After being so busy for almost two months, I finally found time to meet Ma Yun.

Before returning from Europe, the [Asia-Pacific Purchasing Center] signed with Yahu had already been quietly opened. After Yang Zhiyuan’s private cocktail party, he met Mr. Ma and left his contact information. So the [Asia-Pacific Procurement Center] in cooperation with Yahu

District Purchasing Center】Riding the wind with the support of Ali International Station enterprise user data.

Within 2 months, the [Asia Pacific Procurement Center] helped Yahu win 35.5 million US dollars in orders for various goods. Such a large increase in orders in a short period of time not only expanded the product categories of Yahu Mall, but also made Ali International

The station took the opportunity to become popular.

With such a mutually beneficial cooperation paving the way, Ma Yun finally took the initiative to send an invitation to Ning Zimo. So on Saturday, November 1, Ning Zimo officially brought Dong Qianqian to Qiantang to meet Ma Yun.

Speaking of secretary Dong Qianqian, she was originally the assistant of Aunt Ning Zimo’s company, and she was also the niece of Lu Wensheng, the head of the [Asia-Pacific Procurement Center].

During this trip to Qiantang, Tang Ruiwen, who originally served as Ning Zimo's secretary, was already an important deputy to Emperor Penguin Cho Xi Dan. After failing to recruit a suitable assistant, Dong Qianqian was temporarily seconded by Ning Zimo from her aunt.

But Teacher Ma didn't know so many details. When he picked up Ning Zimo in Qiantang, he couldn't help but take a second look at the long-legged girl next to Ning Zimo.

With just two glances, Ma Yun turned around and said to Ning Zimo with a smile, "After the stock god lunch, the two girls Li Ying and Zhang Miaoying are in charge. It seems that there are always many beauties around Zimo.

.”

After the astronomical price of 500,000 US dollars was spent on Buffett's lunch, there were indeed many reports about Li Ying and Zhang Miaoying abroad, which immediately boosted their fame. It is no wonder that Ma Yun has a high opinion of Dong Qianqian, who is also a beauty.

Although Ning Zimo couldn't see Dong Qianqian's reaction on the same side, he could feel her nervousness. However, he didn't explain anything in particular. He simply introduced her and turned his attention to the two people standing next to Ma Yun.

.

"This is my wife, Zhang Ying. This is our Ali Baba's CFO, Cai Chongxin."

Before Ning Zimo could nod, Zhang Ying reached out her hand first, and Ning Zimo quickly reached out and shook it. After all, she admired this strange woman who had no reputation in her previous life.

"I have long heard from my husband that he met a young talent like Zimo in the United States. Today, I finally matched the name that made my ears ring with laughter."

Zhang Ying looked at Ning Zimo with great sincerity, the look on her face was very sincere.

"Sister-in-law, please don't listen to Teacher Ma who lifts me too high. It will be miserable if I fall from the clouds in the future."

"That's not the case. As soon as Zimo came into contact, it became clear that you are a person who does things." Zhang Ying said with a smile.

"That's right, not many young people can make a name for themselves abroad."

Cai Chongxin took a step forward after Zhang Ying let go of his hand, took the initiative to hold Ning Zimo's hand and said with a smile, "If Mr. Ma hadn't revealed so much, we wouldn't even know."

"Your sister-in-law has already cooked a table of dishes, and there are two or three more that are waiting for you to go back and cook." Ma Yun said at the right time, "Let's sit down and close the door later."

"Okay"

When Ning Zimo finally sat at the dining table, he understood what Ma Yun meant by closing the door.

At that time, Ahri was not the giant crocodile in the previous life, and its well-known Taobao had just begun, and Taobao's office was placed directly in Ma Yun's home. As soon as she entered the door, there was clicking on the keyboard.

Sound, even though it was Saturday, there were still many people working. So closing the door actually separated the Taobao staff from Ning Zimo.

But Ning Zimo didn't care about this, because it was he who set the meeting place at Ma Yun's house. On the one hand, he could take the opportunity to get closer to Ah Li and Ma Yun, but on the other hand, Ning Zimo also wanted to see

, how is the development of the Taobao start-up team that uses Ma Yun's home as its office space now?

Visiting Taobao in its early days was also a very interesting experience.

"Tong Yu, we spent 3 million to buy the domain name, but we bought it from Zimo."

"Ah? It turns out we bought it from Mr. Ning. We spent a lot of money on it, 3 million!"

It can be seen that not only Ma Yun is "bitter" about spending 3 million to buy the Taobao domain name. Even Sun Tongyu, the current Taobao project leader, is very upset about spending 3 million to buy the Taobao domain name.

Ning Zimo smiled and said, "Why don't you get it back? [Asia Pacific Purchasing Center] paid Ahri 3 million for information in one lump sum."

The small amount of money for the taobao domain name that Ma Yun and Sun Tongyu cared about was not valued in Ning Zimo's eyes, so he paid it back by taking advantage of this cooperation with Ahri.

In fact, even if there is no [Asia-Pacific Procurement Center], Dibao Trading will do similar things. After all, this is the cooperation that Ning Zimo decided to cooperate with Ahri early on.

"Come on, come on, the food is ready, let's talk while eating."

As Zhang Ying spoke, she put down the last dish, which immediately filled the table. Ma Yun and her husband closed the door and were immediately separated from the living room.

Ma Yun, his wife Zhang Ying, CFO Cai Chongxin and Taobao head Sun Tongyu are all Ali Baba's famous 18 Arhats.

In the past life, everyone knows the story of the 18 Arhats in the early days of Ahri. In addition to Ma Yun as the leader, Zhang Ying, the political commissar, also played a very important role. It was Cai Chongxin, the CFO, who worked for Ahri from the beginning.

Team Li set up the rules and signed contracts with each of the 18 Arhats one by one. Only then did the team led by the "liar" go global.

If it weren't for the convenience of smartphones, Ning Zimo would have really wanted to take a photo of today's scene, because this scene is worth recalling one day in the future.

"Zimo came to Qiantang to be cool, but his partner, who was motivated by fame, was very busy in the United States. You said that you are a young and energetic person, but you are more low-key than a middle-aged man like me.

"

Ma Yun did not forget to tease Ning Zimo while eating, while Mrs. Ma Zhang Ying, who was standing aside, just smiled lightly as she watched her husband mingling with the young man he praised so much.

"Teacher Ma, the World Health Organization has announced that those aged 15-44 are collectively referred to as youth. You must not think of placing yourself in the middle-aged range to take advantage of me." Ning Zimo curled his lips and turned in the direction of Mrs. Ma.

Nunu mouth said, "Besides, my sister-in-law is still so young. I don't want to lead you into a trap and call my already young sister-in-law old."

Seeing Ning Zimo resolve the age gap without a fight, and also flattering his gentle wife, she was so happy that she couldn't stop laughing.

Ma Yun slapped her forehead with her hand and smiled bitterly, "How come I didn't notice you were so glib at Jerry's cocktail party last time."

The last time at Yang Zhiyuan's cocktail party, Ning Zimo met all successful people. Although they all admired him, Ning Zimo was really a little reserved.

"Hey, after all, we are all seniors, so we have to be more cautious. Wouldn't it be great now? We have a table of entrepreneurs sitting together, and the atmosphere will be much more relaxed."

"Zimo can't underestimate yourself. Let's not talk about the long-term layout of the [Asia-Pacific Procurement Center] that you are cooperating with Yahu. If you just say that skrpe has only been developed for more than a year but has nearly 90 million global users, this is very embarrassing for us.

Domestic companies are envious of you. How can you be considered an entrepreneur? You are considered a successful person."

Cai Chongxin, who finally caught the opportunity to pick up the conversation, was obviously more open than he had been in the open situation just now.

Ning Zimo could tell that although Ma Yun should have told Cai Chongxin a lot of things about himself, he just brushed it off in public. Being so measured, Ning Zimo couldn't help but think highly of Cai Chongxin.

The atmosphere was harmonious, and Ning Zimo did not pretend to be pretentious. "Part of it is taking advantage of the trend, and part of it is indeed that foreign markets are more suitable for business operations. Therefore, we have achieved some small results."

Cai Chongxin did not think that the small achievements that Ning Zimo mentioned were really small. Because ever since he knew that skrpe was made by a young flower farmer, Cai Chongxin has been paying attention to it.

In September, skrpe made a big public move. The skrpe official website announced its user data of up to 80 million for the first time. At first, many people were still skeptical. After all, Bandwidth, a competitor of skrpe, only had 10 million users.

But in mid-October, skrpe’s second big move set off a new wave!

skrpe reported its Q3 quarterly financial report. With 90 million global users, third-quarter operating income of US$78.29 million, and net profit of US$37.84 million, skrpe achieved a high profit ratio of 48%.

This data, confirmed by the Luxembourg tax department, caught all Internet users off guard. Only then did people discover that skrpe had developed so rapidly.

But compared with the famous skrpe, Ning Zimo, who finally met him today, is still almost unknown in China. His low-key style made Cai Chongxin unable to believe that this was a young man under 20 years old.

What you do.

Now he is sitting here, holding bowls and chopsticks in his hands while eating a table of ordinary home-cooked food, and he doesn't even care about the "small achievements" he has made. But Cai Chongxin can feel that his attitude of not caring is very sincere.

Thinking of this, Cai Chongxin couldn't help but feel a little closer to him, and then asked the question that had been in his mind for a long time.

"Zimo, you also announced your turnover in the third quarter. Do you plan to raise funds for skrpe?"

Cai Chongxin advanced step by step and his attitude was very gentle, but Ning Zimo shook his head when he heard this. Because his subsequent arrangements actually had something to do with Teacher Ma's agreement.

"The development of skrpe has actually reached a bottleneck where there is no capital to support its operation. However, with the entry of capital, skrpe's operating model will no longer be free." Ning Zimo held up his chopsticks and said softly, "This time, I am going to

skrpe for sale.”

"sell?"

"sell?"

"sell?"

"sell?"

The four people in 18 Arhats had their eyes widened, while Dong Qianqian had a "cute" look on her face.

Suddenly, Ma Yun realized a problem. He remembered the agreement between this young man and the one he mentioned at Yang Zhiyuan's last private reception!

"This time I came to Qiantang, in addition to meeting you, I also want to confirm this decision, because I know what the Internet environment is like at this time. If you want to do something big, you can't do it without funds, but if you want funds, you can't

Capital is not enough, so there must be a choice."

Ning Zimo paused for a moment, taking in everyone's surprise, but still said to Ma Yun calmly:

"Since we all feel that we can see the direction ahead, isn't it necessary to be able to hold on to the direction of the ship before the future arrives?"
