Reborn Millennium Player

"I didn't expect Ahri to have such a big appetite."

Liu Edong watched Cai Chongxin's back and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not that Ah Li has such a big appetite, it's that Lu Yun is very ambitious." Lu Fei looked away, "He is not willing to be the second child."

"I wouldn't be willing to do it if it were me."

Liu Edong set his sights on Lu Yun further away, "But I definitely won't be against payment like him. I will be against logistics and invest the most resources. Logistics is the real lifeblood and moat of e-commerce. He obviously didn't distinguish the main point.

Second-rate."

"That's wrong, you just have to see it clearly before you choose to pay."

Lu Fei glanced, shook his head and said: "Logistics is such a thankless heavy asset. Smart people like him don't know how to do it. Leave the dirty work to others, and do the easiest payment yourself, and it is easy to be upwardly compatible."

Finance, what a wonderful thing.”

Liu Edong nodded: "It's Lu Yun's character. He will never give up on this payment and strike first?"

"Don't worry, just play with him."

Lu Fei disagreed. It was too late to start payment now. WeChat was able to break through Alipay's iron curtain entirely because of Penguin's terrifying social traffic and red envelope money offensive.

What does Ahri have?

Nowadays, almost all Internet payment channels are Caifubao and Tenpay, which account for 48.44% and 43.59% respectively. The rest are UnionPay, online banking, and credit cards.

Chengxintong, like Shanda's Shengfutong, Baidu's Baifutong, etc., are included in "others" with only 1.03%.

"It's okay. It's most likely to make mistakes when you get carried away."

Liu Edong turned around and followed Lu Fei into the reception.

The two of them each poured a glass of red wine, and according to the pre-planned plan, they worked separately to raise Series A financing for Meituan. Liu Edong was responsible for connecting with Masayoshi Son, while Lu Fei went to find David Solomon to compare prices and raise the valuation, but something unexpected happened

It was SoftBank and Goldman Sachs who joined forces.

Two families wear the same pants and invest in a joint venture.

Meituan’s 12% stake is divided 50-50.

David Solomon deliberately kept his appetite low and did not give a direct quotation. Instead, he mentioned subprime mortgages first.

As the China Banking Group led by CITIC took advantage of US$2.5 billion worth of high-quality assets from Lehman, the Trisolaris Fund retreated, and Lehman was able to gain a short-term peace.

The entire market is in a delicate state.

He shook his glass and asked tentatively: "Lu, the stock prices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have both risen to over 60 US dollars. I remember that you and John's fund bought a lot, right?"

Lu Fei has obviously cashed out at a high position and is deliberately pretending to be stupid:

"I don't know. John has always been in charge of this kind of thing. I feel relieved that he handles the matter."

"Haha, you must have made a lot of money again."

David Solomon narrowed his eyes.

Lu Fei said: "David, no matter how much we earn, we still won't make as much as you. You are the real winners."

"Haha, it's all thanks to you as a good friend. Without your generosity, how could I have bought so many CDS."

Seeing the resentment on his face, David Solomon felt so happy in his heart and smiled from ear to ear.

Even if Lu Fei and John Paulson make the right bets, little shrimps like them can't protect such a big cake, and they can only cede part of their profits to the giants of Wall Street.

The two funds continued to sell CDS in exchange for piles of cash. In 4 months, the five projects made a total of about 8.4 billion U.S. dollars, with Trisolaris Fund accounting for 53%.

Although the amount of real money given is a lot, for giants with capital of over 100 billion, the huge CDS compensation is the real prize. If all is cashed out, Goldman Sachs will not only be able to escape from the subprime mortgage, but also

Make a fortune.

Especially from Lehman, tens of billions of dollars can be earned!

Maybe you can make a small profit, but I will never lose money!

“So David, you should be more generous on Meituan.”

Lu Fei took a sip of wine and said, "How much are you prepared to pay?"

David Solomon looked at Masayoshi Son calmly, and saw that he looked like a sensible bitch, "Lu Sang, with all due respect, I still don't understand Meituan's group buying model.

There is no precedent for any European and American e-commerce model.”

“Why does Meituan have to have someone else’s shadow?”

Lu Fei rolled his eyes, did he understand what the combination of "Meituan + Pinduoduo" is? This is the Chinese characteristic e-commerce model!

Why another feature?

David Solomon secretly murmured, why no matter what, Rabbit always likes to add a "feature" that people can't refute.

Sun Zhengyi also felt the same way. Thinking that the World Internet Conference was actually held in China and not in Neon, he said sourly:

"That's right. I have always followed the 'time machine theory' in my investments. This is a theory I created myself. That is, the IT industries in China, the United States and Japan are at different stages of development. Internet products will be developed in developed countries first, and then they will be launched when they mature.

Japan, South Korea, and then China and India are like sitting in a time machine. You can see that there are Google, Amazon, and Facebook abroad, while China has Feigou, Penguin, and Baidu..."

"According to your opinion, all our Chinese Internet companies are plagiarism?" Liu Edong was instantly dissatisfied.

Son was startled, "No, no, it's not plagiarism. How can things on the Internet be considered plagiarism? You have misunderstood me."

"what does that mean?"

Lu Fei took the opportunity to be aggressive, "Is it true that innovation is only allowed to you, the United States and Japan, but not to us, so we can only learn from it? Isn't that what you mean?"

"Yeah, that's really not what I meant."

Son looked embarrassed, "You also have a lot of innovations. Feigou is not only as good as Amazon in B2C, but also better than eBay in C2C. Penguin also surpasses ICQ..."

"And Facebook."

Lu Fei said with a straight face: "As a shareholder of Facebook, Line and Penguin, I can tell you that Facebook borrowed from Line, and Line borrowed from Penguin to social SNS."

Son's eyes lit up, "Softbank has been paying attention to Line, a company that has been paying attention, and very much wants to join. If Lu Sang..."

Lu Fei waved his hand and interrupted: "If you invest with this theory, let alone Line, even Meituan, I don't think there is any need to continue talking." His tone was full of disdain, "No wonder SoftBank would invest in someone who loves to copy us.

Ah Li daddy, haha."

Son Zhengyi opened his mouth, "What are you talking about?"

Why is it somehow related to Ali Daba!

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, David Solomon would never allow the cooked duck to fly and glared at Xiao Baga.

"Ahem, Lu, don't be so impulsive. Sun just said the wrong thing. Let him apologize to you."

Masayoshi Son was stunned. Didn't he just talk about a "time machine" theory and secretly poked at China Internet? How could he admit his mistake?

But Lu Fei vowed not to give up without apologizing. He gritted his teeth. If America's father hadn't asked me to apologize, he would never have lowered his head in such a nonsensical way. He said perfunctorily:

"Lu Sang, Si Ni Ma Sai."

"I heard that the Neon people apologized without 'red bean paste' and there was no sincerity at all. Is that true?" Lu Fei said with a smile.

"Red bean paste, your mother stuffed!"

Son Zhengyi had to bend down.

"That's pretty much it."

Lu Fei seized on the mistake and made a fuss about it, tilting the initiative in the negotiation towards himself, "I actually prefer Goldman Sachs and SoftBank. Compared to Sequoia's $105 million, I hope that through cooperation with you, Meituan can also be like

Line also entered the neon market and then entered the United States."

"We thought so too, so we have prepared a surprise for you in the quotation." David Solomon smiled.

"Yes, surprise, surprise."

Son Zhengyi smiled and rubbed his hands.

"Oh, surprise?"

Lu Fei looked left and right.

You guys translate and translate for me, what the hell is a surprise?

……………………

At midnight, the Bund bar is full of feasting and feasting.

The princesses who received the tips exited the box with satisfaction. Zhang Chaoyang picked up the wine glass and toasted to Lu Yun and Cai Chongxin:

"Jack, stop thinking about this bastard Lu Fei, forget it, this world is so unfair!"

Lu Yun looked at him completely lying down and said angrily, "You have to have backbone as a man! You have to stand up!"

"You, you are right, damn Lu Fei!"

Zhang Chaoyang put their arms around each other and said, "All the capable people under me are running towards him. Gu Yongqiang went to Penguin Video, Gong Yu went to PPS, and Wang Xiaochuan went to Sogou. What does he think of my Sohu?"

The person who poached me beat me, how can I be such a bully?"

"So, let's avenge our shame!"

Lu Yun took this opportunity to win Sohu over to him.

Although Sohu has fallen to the bottom of the list of portals, slipping from the first echelon to the second echelon of the Internet, if online video, portals, online games and other payment channels can be returned to Ali, at least Chengxintong will no longer count "others"

"inside.

"I, I can't do it."

Zhang Chaoyang seemed drunk but not drunk, and used the strength of alcohol to provoke him: "Only you, Lu Yun, have the strength to challenge him. You must not continue like this. Now the Internet in China is either his younger brother or his friend. If you give me

In just a few years, not only half of the country, but also the entire Internet has the surname Lu!"

At the end, he added a knife: "It's not your Lu Yun's 'Lu', it's Lu Fei's 'Lu'."

Lu Yun raised his neck and drank the wine in one gulp.

Cai Chongxin picked up his phone, looked at the time, and saw the "ding ding" text message ringing. He frowned and said:

"Sent from Masayoshi Son, he asked where we are?"

"You ask him what he wants to do?" Lu Yun asked doubtfully.

Cai Chongxin typed on the keyboard to send a message, and soon received a reply: "He wants to meet with us now. He probably wants to talk about the launch of Ali Baba."

"It's too late today, let's do it tomorrow."

"What time and place tomorrow?"

"Just after the e-commerce branch meeting is over, let him come over to participate and see how I verbally fight Lu Fei tomorrow!"

…………

The next day, Shanghai International Conference Center.

The first topic in the morning of the branch meeting, "Internet New Media", could not be said to be deserted, but it could not be said to be lively either.

Especially compared with the second theme, "future e-commerce", there is a big difference in terms of popularity and number of people.

There was a sensation all over the city, and the national media caught wind of it. People in Shanghai were afraid of being overtaken by other provinces, so they rushed to seize good positions in advance.

Twenty or thirty authoritative media outlets from home and abroad gathered in the hall. Internet media outlets such as Yahoo, Penguin, NetArt, and New Wolf were also present. After all, they had their own bosses on stage.

Lu Yun, Lu Fei, Ding Sanshi, Liu Edong, Jeff Bezos, and Li Yanhong who just got involved in e-commerce.

Countless cameras were shooting back and forth, capturing the faces on the stage one by one. This was the most high-profile e-commerce forum in the world.

The leader of Western e-commerce is Jeff Bezos!

Master Lu is the leader of Eastern e-commerce!

Lu Yun is one of the self-proclaimed Eastern e-commerce experts!

In such a dragon-tiger meeting, all those who are qualified to participate, even if they are indifferent to e-commerce or have nothing to do with it, are here to join in the fun. Not only the leaders, but also the talkers of domestic and foreign Internet companies are here to watch the battle.

There are also competent departments, representatives of well-known companies, and elite executives, totaling thousands of people.

It was so grand that Zeng Yuguang looked at it from a distance and was so nervous that he couldn't breathe and stared at Lu Fei.

I saw him cooperating with Li Hong in the opening, and while warming up the scene, he slowly let the other five people get involved in the topic.

It's relaxed and harmonious, especially with Lu Fei and Lu Yun, two masters of Max eloquence, who lead the way, but it's not what people in the audience expected. It shouldn't be when enemies meet, bayonets see red!

Bored, I want to see the river of blood!

This is not only their voice, but also Zhang Chaoyang's mind. Yesterday's provocation was just for today.

Lu Yun, why don’t you fight Lu Fei?

Also holding the same idea is Masayoshi Son.

He gritted his teeth, carrying Little Neon's revenge gene in his bones. He looked at Lu Fei from the left and Lu Yun from the right, "Jack, teach me a lesson like Lu Fei, a red deer, how can I fix it!"

Just as everyone was expecting, Li Hong raised a question, which finally sounded like a bell in a boxing ring, "We all know that Feigou.com and Ali Baba are the number one and number two e-commerce platforms in the country, and they have cooperation with each other.

, there is also competition, I wonder what the two companies have in terms of future e-commerce cooperation and competition?”

Lu Fei looked at Lu Yun and then at Liu Haodong.

Liu Edong understood the idea and offered some suggestions: "Let me talk about cooperation. In fact, our models are completely different.

Feigou, Jingdong, and the newly emerged Meituan all aim to solve the business cost and efficiency problems in Chinese society. The result is that manufacturers, merchants and couriers all make money, and users make benefits and convenience, and everyone is happy.

To solve this problem, we must solve the entire logistics cost. I think this is not a matter for Feigou alone, but something that the entire e-commerce industry must work together to accomplish."

"Mr. Liu's point of view, Sao Rui, I don't agree with."

Lu Yun interrupted and retorted: "There are specialties in the industry. I think e-commerce companies should solve e-commerce issues. Logistics should be left to professional companies like logistics companies instead of us doing it for them. I know that flying

We have self-built logistics, Zhongtong, and also established a Kuaima Alliance to build smart logistics 2.0..."

As he spoke, he stared straight at Lu Fei with murderous intent.

"I think Mr. Lu and Mr. Liu here have made a fatal strategic mistake. According to the development trend of e-commerce, Feigou will hire 1 million couriers. At that time, the salary alone can drag down the company to death, let alone itself.

Such heavy asset investment in building warehousing and shipping will not only slow down the development speed in the early stage, but will also affect the operation of the entire company in the later stage."

"Then how do you think we should solve it?" Li Hong said with a smile.

"Feigou is now like letting me do whatever I want. I have absorbed too much internal energy that should not be my own. I have to find a way to completely empty it out."

Lu Yun raised his chin and pointed at the country.

Liu Edong frowned and was about to retaliate when Lu Fei patted his arm and shook his head to indicate not to refute yet.

Seeing how calm they were, especially Lu Fei, Lu Yun kept smiling and outputting firepower:

"Like Ahri, they don't know how to do purchasing and sales, and they don't touch logistics and distribution. In fact, Ahri's future is not to be an e-commerce company, but to help others do e-commerce..."

"well said!"

Lu Fei gave a thumbs up and said in a playful tone: "That's what Feigou is doing now, cultivating more Ali Baba."

"Hahaha~"

Liu Haodong burst into laughter.

Ding Sanshi, Li Yanhong and others are all professionals. Unless you can't help it, I really can't help it now!

While laughing, he looked at Lu Yun jokingly, and saw that his face was red with anger. He picked up the microphone and wanted to fight back, but was interrupted again and again by the audience, because bursts of laughter broke out from the audience.

The sound was enough to knock off the roof of the entire hall.

Son Zhengyi looked sullen, Lu Yun, come up with a pair to kill him!

Before Lu Yun could attack, Lu Fei took the initiative through laughter:

"This is no joke. Feigou.com has grown to such a large scale today. It is by no means pursuing an e-commerce oligarch with a business empire mentality, but to be the leader of the entire e-commerce ecosystem. We have laid the underlying infrastructure for this ecosystem, such as

Payment system, transaction system, logistics system, credit system, which system is not good, where should we go? Because it is not what we want to do, there is no way, you have to build a bridge to cross a bridge, and clear a way to cross a mountain.

We are very willing to create a good e-commerce ecosystem for more Ali Baba, and then let these e-commerce companies make money!

This is the social responsibility that Feigou.com should bear!”

"Pop."

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa."

At first there were sporadic applause, then it became more intensive and louder, and gradually became like a tide.

Accompanied by thunderous applause, cheers came and went.

"Originally it was a battle between the eldest and the second child, but now it has become a battle between father and son."

Liu Edong and Ding Sanshi chuckled, and the corners of their mouths raised in smiles.

Faced with the momentum that "if heaven did not create Feigou, Chinese e-commerce would be like a long night forever", Lu Yun would never allow Lu Fei to steal the spotlight. He gritted his teeth and said: "But as far as I know, Feigou was founded in 2001

, not to mention that Ali was founded in 1999, Dangdang, eBay, and the predecessor of Amazon China, Excellence, are all the predecessors of Feigou. This ecosystem is created by us together. Feigou has a great contribution, but it must not

Take all the credit to yourself.”

"Ah, yes, yes."

Lu Fei cast a caring look.

Lu Yun grinded his teeth and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "As for creating more Ali Baba, I think with the current e-commerce structure, it is easy to create another one with the size of Dangdang.

It’s almost impossible for someone with the size of Ali Daba!”

"So, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What to bet on?"

"Just bet RMB 100 million on whether Feigou.com can develop another e-commerce company the size of Ali Baba?"

The bet of 100 million instantly brought the confrontation between Lu Fei and Lu Yun to its climax, and the whole venue was completely boiling.

You know, Mr. Lu is not only known as the "God of Stocks" but also the "God of Gambling". Whenever he bets with others, he has never lost.

The last time I looked back, it was Zong Qinghou who wowed me.

Coincidentally, like Lu Yun, he is also a Zhejiang businessman!

Accompanied by noisy cheers, Lu Yun was raised and unable to get off, so he had no choice but to fight bravely and must not suffer from stage fright.

Just think of it as another way to build momentum for the launch of Ali Baba!

"Okay, that's refreshing enough."

Lu Fei picked up the microphone and vowed: "Then I would also like to announce good news. Goldman Sachs CEO David and SoftBank President Masayoshi Son in the audience can testify for me that Meituan has clearly obtained two companies with a total of US$115 million.

invest!"

In an instant, half of the audience's attention was focused on Lu Fei, and the other half fell on David Solomon and Son Zhengyi.

SoftBank, did you do it on purpose or accidentally?

Cai Chongxin clenched his fists and couldn't help cursing in his heart.

Lu Fei said with a smile: "We are confident and determined to build Meituan into an e-commerce platform that can catch up with Ali Baba, or even surpass Ali Baba!"

"What?!"

Lu Yun almost sat up from the sofa, stunned.

Damn army, the imperial army didn’t come, so you can just bully me.

Bad army, the imperial army is here, you can just bully me.

It's bad now. You, the Imperial Army, and the Unlucky Army team up to bully me?
