American Peak Life

"Mr. Lu, hello, I'm Ma Tian." Facing Lu Ning who got out of the car with a smile on his face, Ma Tian quickly stretched out his two hands and held Lu Ning's right hand, shaking it up and down quite a bit , which can show the excitement in Xiao Ma's heart now.

"Oh, how can you bother Mr. Ma to open the door for me." Lu Ning also saw Brother Ma at the first time. Sure enough, he was the same person he knew, but he was much younger. It could be seen that he was still a young man. The new kid on the market.

"It should be, it should be, I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see Lu Ning today." Ma Tian replied with a smile on his face.

"Haha, I'm lucky to have met you." Lu Ning spoke the truth, but at this moment, brother Ma couldn't understand what it meant. Then, Lu Ning introduced Qin Lan and Wang Yao beside him to Ma Tian.

Several people exchanged pleasantries, but Qin Lan and Wang Yao were a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Ma Tian, ​​whom Lu Ning strongly recommended, turned out to have this face. Why does it feel similar to et?Could this be called strange people and strange things, the more capable a person is, the more surprised he is?

Of course, good professionalism will not make the two girls show any unnaturalness. Of course, Ma Tian also knows that his appearance does not conform to the current public aesthetics, but there is no way. Yes, I can't choose myself, if I can choose, who wouldn't want to be like Lu Ning.

"Okay, everyone, we don't need to blow the air at this door." Lu Ning said with a smile, there are three people on his side, and Brother Xiao Ma brought one person, which should be one of the legendary "Eighteen Arhats" bit.

A group of five people entered the private room under the leadership of the waiter, and took their seats according to priority. Lu Ning deservedly was placed in the main seat. Qin Lan was sitting on the left, and Brother Xiao Ma was sitting on the right. At this time, Brother Xiao Ma It can be regarded as calmed down from the excitement at the beginning, but Brother Ma has more expectations for today's discussion. After all, Lu Ning also came to the scene in person. Ali Baba is still very important.

"Mr. Lu, what shall we drink later?" Ma Tian's eloquence is really good. He talked and laughed with Lu Ning along the way, and they are not unfamiliar at all. The two seem to be friends who have known each other for a long time. generally.

"Haha, I know, Mr. Ma, you drink very well. However, we still have something to discuss this afternoon. Look at this. Here is a bottle of old-fashioned Moutai. The three of us will share it equally. Let's focus on drinks." Ma Tian really suits Lu Ning's appetite, and on the way just now, the few concepts Ma Yun mentioned made Lu Ning amazed, Ma Tian's vision alone is already Rare.

Moreover, the judgment of the future Internet market is also very accurate, and he deserves to be the figure who led a dynasty.

"Okay, just listen to Mr. Lu." To be honest, with Ma Tian's drinking capacity, a bottle of Moutai won't matter, let alone a bottle of three people. Of course, it is also for the discussion in the afternoon. If it is evening, Ma Tian I don't mind showing off my massiveness.

The dishes were prepared in advance, and soon, a waiter brought up the exquisite dishes. Lu Ning and Ma Tian chatted more and more speculatively. Lu Ning admired Ma Tian's foresight, and Ma Tian admired it even more. Lu Ning's omnipotence, this is a good talent.

Qin Lan was not idle either, and chatted casually with the one brought by Ma Tian. Only Wang Yao was sitting upright. After all, this was the first time Wang Yao participated in a business banquet with Lu Ning present.

The food and drink were served, and several people exchanged glasses. For a while, the atmosphere was lively. However, the few people had a tacit understanding and did not involve themselves. They were still talking about the general trend and their own views on the future.

"Mr. Ma, I heard that Goldman Sachs has approached you?" Lu Ning drank another drink with Ma Tian, ​​and asked suddenly. Such news is not a particularly difficult matter for Lu Ning. After all, the rumors in the business world It’s hard to know if it’s true or not, but Lu Ning knows that in 99, Goldman Sachs did use 400 million US dollars to buy 23% of Ali’s shares. This is also known as Goldman Sachs’ best deal. an investment.

"Oh, Lu Ning's news is well-informed. I'm not hiding this. It's true." Ma Tian was stunned for a while, because, so far, Goldman Sachs has been in contact with him alone, and he has not He gave an answer, but unexpectedly, Lu Ning knew about it. However, thinking about Lu Ning's background, it seems that there is nothing unusual about it.

"I don't know, what does Mr. Ma think of the conditions offered by Goldman Sachs?" Lu Ning took a bite of the food and asked with a smile. It seemed a little casual, but for Ma Tian, ​​it was a bit difficult to ask this question for a while. After all, to be honest, Goldman Sachs and Lu's investment should be in a state of hostility.

But the problem is, if these words are said from his own mouth, Ma Tian also feels a little inappropriate. What about Lu Ning's disgust?

"Mr. Ma, do you have any concerns? Of course, it's not possible. I didn't mention this issue." Lu Ning also saw Ma Tian's embarrassment. Thinking about it, after all, this is Ma Tian's trump card .

"No, it's not really a concern." Ma Tian thought about it and decided to give it a go, still wanting to put the treasure on Lu Ning: "To be honest, the terms offered by Goldman Sachs are very attractive, 400 million U.S. dollars, 25 percent of the shares, but I didn't reply."

"Haha, Goldman Sachs still knows how to do business." Lu Ning knew after hearing this that Ma Tian didn't hide it, but Goldman Sachs' attention was well played, which is considered to be very good for Huaguo's Internet market. Investment, for Goldman Sachs, is just a drop in the bucket. This is a strategy of casting a wide net.

"President Ma, what do you think of Goldman Sachs' investment?"

"It's low, I think Ali's price is more than that." At this moment, Ma Tian showed strong confidence.

And the one who came with Ma Yun covered his face and couldn't bear to look directly at him. This little brother Ma is here again, can't you be more humble in front of Lu Ning?It's too low to show your self-confidence, 400 million U.S. dollars, 3500 million yuan. Think about how much money you have raised in total when you start your business this year?You have doubled it, I don’t know how many times, okay?

So there is no point of compulsion?

Chapter 721 I'm not as good as him

Lu Ning just smiled when he heard the words and didn't say much. Instead, he had a drink with Ma Tian. Although Ma Tian couldn't understand Lu Ning's thoughts, he was not in a hurry. Ma Tian's thoughts were more comprehensive than his companions. First of all, Now that Lu Ning already knows that Goldman Sachs is interested in him, then, according to Lu Ning's energy, it is impossible not to find out the specific content. He has not reached an agreement with Goldman Sachs for a long time. To be able to show your ambition, at the beginning of your business, you can't stick to the rules, otherwise, how will others know that you have an enterprising heart.

In fact, Ma Tian is also blocking. Du Luning is indeed interested in his own entrepreneurial project. After all, investing and cooperating with Lu's is the best choice. Even if it is the same price as Goldman Sachs, Ma Tian will not hesitate. Choose Lu's investment, Goldman Sachs has it, Lu's investment also has it, Goldman Sachs does not have it, Lu's investment also has it, of course, Lu's is the first choice.

On Lu Ning's side, he already knew about Ma Tian's future achievements. If he let Ali Baba out of his hands, he would become a real fool. With 400 million US dollars and 20.00% of Wu's shares, Goldman Sachs' abacus was a big deal. Of course, Goldman Sachs does not have the ability to predict the future. To bet on Ali [-], Goldman Sachs is already very discerning.

Qin Lan has been paying attention to this Ma Tian, ​​but, at least, so far, Qin Lan has not seen that Ma Tian is different from ordinary people, except for being able to speak well, according to the existing information, Ma Tian's entrepreneurship is not enough. That's all.

Qin Lan really couldn't understand why Lu Ning had such a "soft spot" for this one?

"Mr. Ma, you got the investment, are you going to develop like this?" Lu Ning had another drink with Ma Tian, ​​and then asked again.

"Follow the current steps, or, we will also look at the development of the Internet market, which step it has reached." Ma Tian was silent for a while, and gave a well-regulated answer. Also, for the judgment of Huaguo's Internet market, Ma Tian Tian has always been referring to the continents of America and Europe. In fact, I don’t feel too low in my heart. I don’t know how far I can go.

"President Ma, what do you think of Huaguo's physical business?" After hearing Ma Tian's answer, Lu Ning didn't comment, but asked another question, which also made Ma Tian slightly taken aback. I couldn't keep up with Lu Ning's jumping speed, and I was still thinking about how to answer Lu Ning's questioning, but in the end, Lu Ning skipped this link directly, leaving Ma Tian, ​​who had already prepared a draft, no room to display it at all. Chatting with Lu Ning is really not a little tiring.

"I think that physical commerce will be replaced by online shopping in the future." Ma Tian struggled for a long time, but he was still ready to express his thoughts, although there is basically no concept of online shopping now, if anyone stands up now It is said that physical shopping will fade away sooner or later and will be replaced by online shopping. In this era, people will definitely be ridiculed and criticized, why?Is this against the general environment of the market?

You know, in the current big market, physical shopping is popular. The rise of major shopping malls and supermarkets has made everyone see the vigorous development of physical shopping. Although the national income continues to increase, people's quality of life and purchases are also constantly improving. , but now, Ma Tian directly bad-mouths the future of physical shopping, and it is too advanced to use the illusory online shopping as an example.

"You mean the concept of "Amazon"?" Originally, Ma Tian, ​​who had explained his ideas, was still a little uneasy, for fear that Lu Ning would feel that he was too radical. However, when Lu Ning proposed "Amazon", Ma Tian knew that Lu Ning was in the same category as himself, no, he even said that he was in a category that was even more advanced.

"President Lu, I really have my eye on this one." Ma Tian was able to negotiate, and he was outspoken to Lu Ning. Ma Tian was not afraid that his thoughts would be known by Lu Ning. After all, he did not have the strength to fight against Lu Ning. If Lu Ning really If you want to get involved in this area, you can rely on yourself, and there is no possibility of competition at all.

Lu Ning nodded, and didn't say any more. The next thing was to eat, drink, and talk about the mountains. Of course, it was basically Ma Tian talking, and Lu Ning smiled and listened. This meal was quite enjoyable.

When walking out of Xu’s Garden, Lu Ning was still chatting with Ma Tian. Ma Tian and others had no cars, so they basically relied on taxis or buses to go out. Of course, the initial stage of starting a business was the most difficult time. It's also frank and open, and it doesn't hide it at all, but it has the temperament of some gentlemen. It's strange to say that Huaguo usually wants to see what kind of car the other party is driving when talking about business. A tiger-headed Benz can sometimes represent this The strength of the boss, Lu Ning also laughed at this deformed concept.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about Wang Yao. In order not to embarrass the other party, Wang Yao specially transferred a Mercedes-Benz S-Class from the company half an hour before the end of the dinner, as Ma Tian's temporary car, which is also Wang Yao's car. One of Yao's advantages is that he is good at judging the situation, and Lu Ning also praised Wang Yao's cleverness.

"Mr. Ma, how about visiting our company in a while?" Lu Ning extended an invitation to Mr. Ma with a smile.

"I want what I want, but I dare not invite you." Unexpectedly, Ma Tian also responded politely, which was quite funny.

Lu Ning and Qin Lan got on the red flag ca72, while Ma Tian and Wang Yao got on the Mercedes-Benz S. At this moment, Ma Tian was determined, knowing that this time, it was basically reliable. Yao chatted a few words.

As for the red flag ca72, Qin Lan looked at Lu Ning curiously, quite hesitant to speak.

"If you want to say something, just say it." Lu Ning closed his eyes and fell asleep. It stands to reason that he couldn't see Qin Lan's expression. However, at this moment, Lu Ning still grasped Qin Lan's heart very accurately, knowing that this Bit, it must have been holding back for a long time.

"I really don't see that there is anything special about Mr. Ma, other than being able to speak well." Qin Lan was not polite, and directly expressed her opinion.

"As for the grasp of the market, you are not as good as him, and I am not as good as him." As a result, when Lu Ning opened his mouth, Qin Lan was shocked. Unexpectedly, Lu Ning had such a high evaluation of Ma Tian, ​​and he even admitted it directly in front of himself. Now, I am not as good as Ma Tian in grasping this part of the market.

"Don't doubt, Qin Lan, I bet you that this one can sit on the throne of the richest man in the country." Then, Lu Ning's evaluation shocked Qin Lan again.

"Okay, I'll wait and see." Qin Lan didn't say any more, since Lu Ning had such confidence, Qin Lan didn't express any more and reserved his opinion.

Chapter 722 Negotiating Intent

The headquarters of Lu's investment is located on Nanjing Road, where the land is very expensive, and it is located in the newly built Hang Lung Commercial Building. When the horse got off the car, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Ali Baba can be brought into such a high-end business building.

"President Ma, please." Lu Ning smiled and made a gesture of invitation to President Ma. At this time, Qin Lan, who was following behind Lu Ning, no longer underestimated Ma Tian. After all, in Lu Ning's mouth , got too much shock, although so far, Qin Lan can't see that Ma Tian is as powerful as Lu Ning said, but Qin Lan believes that Lu Ning, the other party will definitely not aimlessly.

"Don't dare, please, Mr. Lu." This is the first time Ma Tian has received such courtesy from a rich man like Lu Ning. You must know that Ma Tian did not sell himself before Goldman Sachs approached him. The result, um , do not say worth mentioning.

Lu Ning and others went directly to Qin Lan's office on the 17th floor. Along the way, the staff they met respectfully stood up and said hello. Ma Tian also lamented that Lu's investment is formal and professional, unlike himself, which is still a grass-roots team.

On the circular sofa in the president's office, four people sat facing each other. Wang Yao still had something to do. Qin Lan's assistant served coffee to them. Ma Tian took a sip. All worth a fortune.

"Mr. Lu, I have opened my eyes today. Lu's investment really deserves its reputation." Ma Tian gave a compliment, which was half-true and half-false.

"Mr. Ma, these are just a matter of a few years for you, so you don't have to worry about them." Lu Ning replied with a smile.

"Lu Ning has won the prize. If I can develop Ali to this point, I will be satisfied."
