In the first month of the new millennium, Lu Yiming's photo appeared on the cover of Forbes magazine. His investment in VALinux made him famous again. He was even called a man from the East by many American stock investors.

The magician.

After all, Lu Yiming's way of making money is so magical. He can always select the most suitable target at the most suitable time. If he doesn't take action, he will strike with thunder, which is more magical than magic.

In the office, Li Yiwen cheerfully said to Lu Yiming: "Do you have any thoughts now? Forbes has written that you are now one of the twenty most influential business tycoons in Asia."

Lu Yiming crossed his legs on the table, and his entire upper body sank into the large and comfortable boss chair. He threw the Forbes magazine in his hand on the desk and said leisurely: "If you have nothing to do, you will be a thief if you are not a woman. Don't do it."

Do not have any form of illusion about the United States. When they praise you, you have to think about whether there is something you did not do well. "Forbes", these are just false names."

These days, the image of Lao Mei in the world seems to be quite positive, especially for the Xia Kingdom, which is still relatively backward. The light of the lighthouse is still very dazzling, and the air is full of sweet smell. Therefore, for those who can get the praise of Lao Mei

Everyone still felt honored by this incident. Even Li Yiwen felt honored when he saw Lu Yiming on the cover of Forbes.

But Lu Yiming's eyes have seen too much. So he knows very well that the world is as black as crows, but the butt determines the head. Considering the environment he is in now, it is not a good thing to get praise from the American emperor.

Li Yiwen said with a serious face: "False fame can often bring practical benefits. Otherwise, how could there be so many people working so hard for fame in this world?"

Lu Yiming suddenly laughed when he thought of something interesting.

"That's true. Just because I was on the cover of Forbes, the city has invited me to attend several official tea parties. The implication behind the words is that they hope that I can bring the money I earned in the United States back to China.

Investment. Three connections and one level are absolutely guaranteed. If you want to acquire land, the price is also easily negotiable."

This was the first time Li Yiwen heard Lu Yiming talk about this matter, and he was immediately surprised: "This is a good condition. It seems that the official is very sincere this time."

Lu Yiming naturally understands the reason why the government is so active. After all, if the domestic industry wants to develop, someone must invest, so attracting investment these days will become a top priority. As a Xiaguo native, naturally from an emotional point of view,

Easier to resonate.

The corners of Lu Yiming's lips raised slightly and he said, "You are indeed quite sincere."

Li Yiwen asked: "Then what do you think? I remember that you have been opposed to transferring yourself to the country before."

Hearing this, Lu Yiming smiled coldly, remembering the land auction, and said: "At this moment, I had no ability to protect myself at that time. If the money is transferred back to the country, if someone hacks it, I will have no place to cry.

Crying. But now, as long as I don’t seek death, who dares to touch a hair on my head?”

Fame has its disadvantages but also its advantages. With the aura of the richest man, Lu Yiming's every move at this moment will be watched under a magnifying glass. If he makes a wrong step, he will be immediately attacked by the crowd.

But on the contrary, as long as Lu Yiming himself does not fall into the trap, many shady methods cannot be used against him.

Lu Yiming's decision immediately exceeded Li Yiwen's expectations.

"So, you are going to shift the focus of your investment to the mainland?"

Lu Yiming said solemnly: "Didn't I tell you before? The winter of the Internet is coming soon. By then, the entire US stock market will be affected. If I don't run away, will I still be waiting for death?"

Although Lu Yiming has said this many times, Li Yiwen, who is in the middle of the game, still feels a little unbelievable: "The U.S. stock market is developing very well now, and it fell in the blink of an eye?"

"Is there anything in this world that lasts forever? What's more, in the U.S. stock market, Wall Street has played too much. Internet concept stocks have been wildly hyped, and it has completely turned into a game of drumming and passing flowers. It has become biased.

Without the original intention of supporting the Internet industry, this situation is obviously unsustainable."

Lu Yiming, who had experienced this scene before, was naturally not dazzled by the blooming flowers in front of him at this moment. He had made up his mind to get out of the situation in advance.

While Lu Yiming was busy transferring funds from the United States back to China, Jack Ma, whom he had not contacted for a long time, called.

He first complimented: "Mr. Lu, you are showing off your talents in the United States and actually challenging Microsoft's hegemony. You are really a role model for our generation."

Lu Yiming was both familiar and unfamiliar with Jack Ma. After hearing this voice that seemed to have been heard countless times, Lu Yiming couldn't help but smile knowingly and said: "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. What about you? How have you been doing lately?

?』

After receiving sufficient financial support from Lu Yiming, Jack Ma's life became much easier. At least his followers no longer had to earn only 500 yuan a month in salary. He said gratefully: "Thanks

Thanks to your help, Mr. Lu, our team is living a very happy life now."

Then, he changed the topic and said: "I almost forgot, Mr. Lu, I called you today because I wanted to tell you that a senior analyst from Morgan Stanley Asia Branch came to me and said that there are investors looking at

I joined my company and want to invest."

"What?"

Lu Yiming was very unhappy. Jack Mark was a potential stock for his investment, but now there are still people who want to get a piece of the pie?

Is this reasonable?

This is unreasonable.

"What's the analyst's name? I'll go to line up with him."

"Masayoshi Son."

"..."

Lu Yiming couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

He was very familiar with the name Sun Zhengyi. Before his rebirth, this guy was everywhere for him. Especially when Jack Ma searched all the businessmen and institutions across the country but couldn't get investment, he finally turned to Sun Zhengyi. Sun Zhengyi didn't say anything.

He immediately voted for Jack Ma. After Jack Ma's Alibaba became popular, Son Zhengyi made a lot of money.

This is nonsense when you first hear it.

If you think about it carefully, isn't this the standard format for public documents? Just to highlight how brave foreigners are and how accurate they are in judging people, more than a billion people in China all have cerebral palsy and cannot see the potential of Alibaba.

If we dig deeper, isn’t this a typical packaging of the theory of racial superiority and inferiority?

There are so many rich people in the country, but they all made mistakes. Son Zhengyi voted for it. All the rich people in the country cannot compare with Sun Zhengyi? So how do these people earn their money?

In fact, Masayoshi Son only made some money in college. Apart from that, almost all other businesses suffered losses. It was not until ten years after the establishment of SoftBank that things turned around.

The truth of the story is that after Son Zhengyi turned himself from a billionaire to a multimillionaire through hard work, the blind cat ran into a dead mouse and invested in Alibaba, relying on Alibaba to lead him away.

In 1919, at the age of 24, he established a software bank. Within half a year of establishing the software bank, he had transactions with 42 specialty stores and software practitioners in the island country, and persuaded Toshiba and Fujitsu to invest and expand the business.

, but due to poor management and losses, he returned the original investment funds of the consortium one year later.

In 1982, Masayoshi Son founded two magazines, "Oh!PZ". Two months later, the return rate was as high as 85%, and the mountains of magazines were cut into pieces of paper.

In 1984, with the help of Goro Hashimoto, Masayoshi Son founded the shopping guide magazine "TAG", but it failed after repeated attempts and eventually closed due to poor sales, with a total loss of 600 million yen in the past six months.

, it cost 400 million yen to deal with the aftermath, which amounted to a debt of one billion yen.

It can be said that what you do is what you lose.

Later, he didn't dare to play anymore. In 1991, he hooked up with Bond Company, which is famous for its C language compiler. In the same year, he persuaded Netwell, a regional network professional company in the United States, to create a new market in Japan. In order to spread the risk, he once again

Inviting Disney to join the company, in 1994, it came to fruition. The Netpower system became one of the main standards for regional networks, with an annual turnover of US$130 million.

In 1992, Masayoshi Son obtained the agency rights of Cisco Systems in Japan and suggested that Cisco use routers as its

In order to test the waters and test the feasibility of Cisco's island branch, fourteen clubs were invited to jointly invest US$40 million to start the project a month later.

In the same year, 70% of the island country’s software sales channels were controlled by software banks.

In November 1995, it invested US$2 million in Yahoo, and in March 1996, it injected another US$100 million to own 33% of Yahoo's shares.

In 1998, it invested US$400 million in the famous American online brokerage ETrade.

It can be seen from these experiences that this guy has never succeeded in doing anything on his own, he was always led away by others.

If you really want to brag about how awesome he is, you can probably only brag about how accurate he is in reading people.

Now Masayoshi Son is interested in Jack Ma and his Alibaba.

This puzzled Lu Yiming.

Logically speaking, even if he drank half of the chicken soup, it was Jack Ma who begged Sun Zhengyi when he was desperate, and Son invested. Why didn't Jack Ma ask Son for help at this time?

Justice comes to your door?

Is it possible that the world line is about to end?

This is unscientific.

On the contrary, Jack Ma didn't think too much. He felt that Masayoshi Son's decision to invest in him was a recognition of his current career, so he talked a lot about the future prospects of e-commerce on the phone.

"Okay, stop talking."

Lu Yiming interrupted him rudely and asked, "How much money does grandson plan to invest?"

Facing the funder's father, Jack Ma, who was flexible and flexible, was not displeased at all and immediately said: "Forty million dollars."

Lu Yiming couldn't help but feel a little toothache.

This guy is so menacing.

Lu Yiming snorted coldly.

My Alibaba can also be touched?

He immediately said: "There are just a few days left before the Chinese New Year. I'm so depressed at home. I'll go over to your place to have some fun. Are you still in Hangzhou now?"

"Okay. Yes."

After making the call, Lu Yiming said to Li Yiwen: "Call the crew and apply for a temporary route. Let's go to Hangzhou."

Li Yiwen frowned: "Going to Hangzhou? What happened?"

Lu Yiming didn't hide it, saying: "The meat in my bowl is being targeted. I have to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou myself to talk to Jack Ma to prevent him from being deceived."

Li Yiwen also heard about Jack Ma, and immediately sneered: "With his mouth that can talk about dead people coming back to life, are you still worried that he is being deceived? It would be great if he doesn't deceive people!"
