Top of the big era

At noon, Hangcheng.

After getting off the plane, Zhou Buqi made a phone call.

Then, Fourth Secretary Wang Yaojin appeared in front of him very quickly.

She is dressed professionally and stylishly today, with the feeling of an urban collar. The upper body is a pink blouse, and the hem is tucked into a black pleated skirt that covers the hips.

The cuffs of the shirt were neatly knotted at the elbow, exposing the white and tender arms, which was very eye-catching. Holding a white exquisite Kun bag in his hand, the overall feeling is low-key and simple, with a unique sense of temperament.

Zhou Buqi smiled, "When did you arrive?"

"Flight at eight o'clock in the morning."

"Then waited for two hours?"

"well enough."

The smile on Wang Yaojin's face was bright, her cheeks were flushed with excitement.

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Where are Ali's people? Have you got in touch?"

"Well, I have contacted. Mr. Ma sent a driver over, and he is parked in the parking lot."

"Let's go, don't make people wait too long."

This is Boss Ma's car, and coincidentally, it's also a Maybach.

Boss Ma is not from a technical background, so his style of doing things...is different from Internet bosses. It can be seen in terms of food, go to Baidu, go to Penguin, even if it is Lenovo and Huawei, it is also a staff restaurant when eating, and the dishes are low-key and simple.

Everyone gets together to talk about work, not to enjoy food.

The old horse is different.

Every time I come to Hangzhou, it is always the first-class gourmet food and hospitality.

At noon is a Zhejiang cuisine feast in a five-star hotel.

He also booked a presidential suite here for Zhou Buqi, with a room cost of 50,000 for two nights.

Boss Ma is warm and hospitable, he really treats Zhou Buqi as one of his own.

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "Two nights? I was thinking about going back to Beijing tomorrow! My secretary just came here without any clothes."

Boss Ma smiled and said, "Isn't the shopping mall downstairs, let's go buy new ones."

Wang Yaojin was secretly delighted.

The shopping mall downstairs is full of world-renowned brands, and a dress can cover her monthly salary.

Zhou Buqi ignored the ridicule in his eyes, frowned and said, "You tricked me here, what's the matter?"

"Good thing!"

"What's the matter?"

"Help you solve the most difficult and difficult thing you have now."

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "The sale of the penguins?"

When Boss Ma heard this, he almost burst out laughing.

Also very happy.

For the same product, Ali purchased 100 million yuan, and Ziweixing will send people to help Taobao with technology research and development. Penguins cost 300 million. Such unfair treatment made Lao Ma feel secretly refreshed.

Although he doesn't care about patting on the surface, Penguin poached Taobao's core team with a collective high salary. How can he be in a good mood after such a thing happened?

Of course he didn't admit it, Boss Ma shook his head and said, "A small case of a few hundred million is what you care about the most?"

"Uh..." Zhou Buqi squinted his eyes and took a deep look at him, "Isn't it Sun Zhengyi?"

During this period of time, the news that Ziwei Star will officially launch the A-round financing has been released, which has aroused the response of all parties, and dozens of venture capital institutions and private equity funds are paying close attention to it.

But the case is too big, and one or two cases alone can't afford it.

We can only find a financial giant to take the lead, followed by many small and medium-sized venture capital investors.

Now there have been two waves, the first wave is dominated by Goldman Sachs, and the second wave is dominated by Sequoia Capital. I heard from Liu Qing last night that Newbridge Capital seems to be interested in entering the market.

Another capital giant from Wall Street.

All are American.

Surprisingly, Softbank Capital, which is the most enthusiastic about the domestic Internet market, has not shown up for a long time, which is a bit strange.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be waiting here.

Boss Ma smiled and said, "Yes, that's him. He originally flew to Japan from the United States. For Ziweixing's case, he made a special trip to change his ticket. He flew here first to meet you."

"Really?"

"certainly."

Zhou Buqi was somewhat surprised.

Sun Zhengyi has a great reputation these days and is a legendary boss in the venture capital world. Only other people have ever visited him. For Ziweixing's financing, he has flown to China for the second time.

Boss Ma whispered: "He is very anxious now, Softbank's scale has been reduced. He needs a brilliant operation to reverse the situation. Since investing in Yahoo and Ali and achieving great success, Softbank's other investments... …It can only be said to be quite satisfactory. After missing Google and Facebook in a row, he pays special attention to the domestic market, especially Friends.com.”

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "The mixi network you mentioned that day, was he the one who set it up?"

Boss Ma put up a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Smart! Sun Zhengyi voted for mixi. He missed Facebook and found a social networking site in China. In China, he fell in love with Friends.com. The main reason why Softbank did not participate in the financing for the first time was that Masayoshi Son was very interested in the sales plan of Youyou.com.”

Zhou Buqi was smug and waved his hands again and again, "It's okay. After the Penguin case is completed, relying on a set of open platform technology projects, it is no problem to earn six or seven hundred million yuan."

Why is Oracle such a rubbish company a technology giant? Oracle's boss, Larry Ellison, flaunts his wealth every day and messes around with Hollywood female stars. Oracle is still in full swing.

It is because the technology is strong, and then sold at a high price.

No one else can buy it or not.

Ziweixing's behavior of selling an open platform is very Oracle-like.

Boss Ma sighed, "Science and technology are the primary productive forces. This is true! It's a pity that I am a pure layman. Ali...Ali lacks a qualified technical leader, and the technical system has not been established at all."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Don't worry, don't worry! According to Mr. Liu, grab the market first, and then develop technology. It's never too late to have a good meal. If there is technology but no market, it is not a market economy, and it is impossible to survive without state subsidies. .Come on, drink!"

I was secretly vigilant in my heart, I can't let the old horse wake up, I have to drink him quickly.

He came to his senses, why did Ziweixing continue to stalk Ali from now on?

In the first decade of the 21st century, domestic Internet companies and entrepreneurs all learned the management thinking of Boss Liu, respecting him as the godfather of management, and they all focused on the market. At this stage, Sohu, Dangdang, Netease, Penguin, Baidu, Shanda and other companies are actually Lenovo models.

Boss Ma is also convinced of this.

Until I met Dr. Wang Jian, I was very touched. After thinking over and over again for a year, coupled with Taobao's large business volume and high equipment costs, Ali could not support it.

Under internal and external troubles, Boss Ma finally made up his mind to do cloud computing!

He recruited Wang Jian and launched the Aliyun strategy, which was a great success in one fell swoop. The success of Aliyun's business is still a trivial matter. More importantly, it has changed Ali's corporate thinking and truly realized the importance of technology.

Then, Ali turned around gorgeously and opened the route of market and technology complementing each other and developing together.

Technology research and development is too scary, and most people dare not do it in a big way.

Many companies shout slogans to learn from Huawei, but in fact they are all nonsense, and they can't learn at all. No one can spend so much money on research and development.

You can learn from Ali.

Ali's research and development is not pure, it is in the nature of middle and Taiwan services, and it needs to be responsible for its own profits and losses. This can be more effectively combined with the market, and the input-output ratio is higher. Compared with the Huawei model, it is more accepted by colleagues.

In the second decade of the 21st century, the Lenovo model has declined. Domestic entrepreneurs looking for new learning goals are basically learning from Boss Ma. Even Lei Jun, a senior in the industry, has to come to ask for advice and learn from Mr. Ma.

In the third decade, the Ali model will still be the mainstream.

Perhaps in the fourth decade, the country's anti-monopoly mechanism will be basically sound, and big companies will no longer be able to seize the market through monopolistic behavior... they can only learn from Huawei, ignoring the input-output ratio and betting on R\u0026D. , the Huawei model will really be on the big stage.

After drinking for three rounds, Boss Ma started to talk a lot, complaining: "Xiao Zhou, you are such a ghost, I fell for it!"

Zhou Buqi narrowed his eyes, "What's this called?"

Boss Ma said: "Taobao spent 300 million yuan on promotion last year, and Ziweixing took 150 million yuan."

Zhou Buqi snorted, "Is 150 million a lot? How much traffic did Xiaonei.com and Weimi.com bring to Taobao? College students who shop online reject eBay and Paipai, and only choose Taobao. Whose credit is this? My I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, Baidu is a C2C e-commerce business, college students all over the country will still choose Taobao! As long as we continue to cooperate, college students will be the big backstage of Taobao!"

These words are very attractive, Boss Ma seems to have sobered up, his eyes are burning, "Can you really do it?"

Zhou Buqi twitched his lips and said confidently, "Why is this so difficult? I promise you! Paipai, eBay, and Baidu's e-commerce platform, if the total share of college students in these three companies exceeds that of Taobao... Humph! I will refund all your advertising fees on the Xiaonei website!"

"real?"

Boss Ma was slightly taken aback.

This is the first time he has seen this kind of businessman, who else negotiated a contract like this? Isn't this handing over your life to your opponent?

Secretary Wang Yaojin was also stunned. She drank two glasses of white wine, her face was rosy and delicate. Hearing this, his face turned pale and frightened, he quickly apologized with a smile: "Mr. Ma, our Mr. Zhou drank too much. I'm joking with you. Don't take it seriously."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said calmly: "Lao Ma, I am from the Northeast. I may like to brag, but I have a very proud characteristic, which is loyalty! Taobao has cooperated with Xiaonei for two years. To be honest, Taobao's The advertising fee has helped Xiaonei a lot. Taobao is the benefactor of Xiaonei! For the benefactor, Xiaonei will definitely spare no effort to support!”

Boss Ma narrowed his eyes, "Can you really guarantee that Taobao's share in the college student market exceeds the sum of Paipai, EBay and Baidu?"

Zhou Buqi was unparalleled in arrogance, "Of course!"

"Dare to write a contract?"

"certainly!"

Boss Ma gave him a deep look, "I remember that the contract between Taobao and Xiaonei.com expires in two years, right? How about we renew the agreement?"

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, his stern expression relaxed a lot, and he asked with a smile, "What good do I have?"
