Chapter 502: Softbank(2/2)
After a pause, he added: "I think you ran over this time because you were deceived by him."
Li Yiwen still looks down upon Jack Ma and always feels that he is very unreliable.
I took tens of millions of dollars in investment from Lu Yiming, but so far I haven't achieved anything yet. I just know how to inject blood and brainwash my employees all day long. It's more like a pyramid scheme than a pyramid scheme.
What puzzles Li Yiwen the most is that Lu Yiming actually left this guy alone, and now he is still afraid that Jack Ma will be abducted. This is simply outrageous and ridiculous.
Regarding Li Yiwen's judgment, Lu Yiming just smiled and did not explain.
"Anyway, there are still a few days until the Chinese New Year, so why don't you go and have some fun together? You can see if he is fooling me or I am fooling him."
The next day, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen landed in Hangzhou.
At the airport, Jack Ma came to greet him with his Eighteen Arhats.
Looking at the private jet behind Lu Yiming, Jack Ma's mouth watered with envy.
He thought that when he became successful, he would definitely buy a private jet of his own.
"Mr. Lu, long time no see. Hello, Manager Li."
Jack Ma greeted him warmly.
Lu Yiming also smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I last saw you. How are you doing here lately?"
Li Yiwen nodded slightly and said, "Hello, Mr. Ma."
Jack Ma reported: "Thanks to you
, everything is going smoothly so far. Mr. Lu is tired from traveling, and it happens to be a hotel now. How about we go to the West Lake to taste the West Lake Vinegar Fish and chat while eating?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said: "I have long heard that West Lake vinegar fish is a specialty. It seems that I am in luck today. Let's go."
Everyone drove to West Lake, found a high-end restaurant, and ordered West Lake vinegar fish.
After a while, the West Lake Vinegar Fish was served, and Jack Ma asked the boss to serve another bottle of rice wine, and said enthusiastically: "Many places in our area produce rice wine, such as Nv'er Red and Zhuangyuan Red, which were very famous in ancient times. This bottle
It’s the fifteen-year-old Zhuangyuanhong. It has a fragrant taste and a long aftertaste. Mr. Lu, you have to give it a try.”
While talking, Jack Ma poured wine for Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen.
The unique aroma of rice wine spread. Although Lu Yiming was not an alcoholic, he smelled it and felt very good. He immediately said: "Good wine, good wine."
Jack Ma picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, Mr. Lu, Manager Li, I'd like to propose a toast to you and welcome you to Hangzhou as guests."
"Go ahead, I wish Mr. Ma a prosperous business and soar to the sky."
A few people were chatting about one thing or another while enjoying fine wine and delicious food.
Soon, everyone started talking about Sun Zhengyi’s intention to inject capital into Alibaba. Lu Yiming asked a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
"Masayoshi Son is now far away in the island country. How did he know you and how did he contact you?"
Jackma said: "Not long ago, we participated in an exchange event in the industrial and commercial community and met there. I talked to him about my entrepreneurial concept, and he appreciated it very much and insisted on investing 40 million US dollars in me."
Lu Yiming knew very well that given Jack Ma's character, this was probably half true and half false, but it was not important. The main fact now was investment, and there was no need to worry about other details.
"Forty million dollars, you want 40% of my shares, which is really too much. I think it should be cut in half. Twenty million dollars is an acceptable price."
Obviously, Jack Ma was moved, after all, that was 20 million US dollars!
According to the current exchange rate, this amount is 160 million yuan!
As long as you sign, you will be worth over 100 million immediately. Not everyone can resist this temptation.
Based on the trend of history and Lu Yiming's understanding of Jack Ma, Lu Yiming feels that if he does not stop him now, it is likely that Alibaba's major shareholders will include a software bank.
This is unacceptable to Lu Yiming.
The meat has been shoveled into the bowl, and there are still people trying to grab it. No one is happy about this.
Lu Yiming said without hesitation: "I think accepting Sun Zhengyi's investment will be very detrimental to Alibaba's future development."
Jack Ma was puzzled and asked: "Why? Masayoshi Son is the richest man in the island country, and he has a good cooperative relationship with the Morgan Stanley Group in the United States. This is a deep network of contacts, which will be of great benefit to Alibaba's future listing in the United States.
"
Lu Yi said sternly: "You are thinking too simplistically. It should be noted that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. Sun Zhengyi is an island native. Despite the current reform and opening up of Xia State, he is very enthusiastic about foreign investment. But once it involves sensitive fields, he will definitely not
Foreign forces will be allowed to get involved, unless you give up Ali's base in Xia Kingdom. For many things, economy is the foundation and politics is the superstructure. If your base shakes the will of the higher-ups, what do you think will happen?"
When Jack Ma heard this, he was immediately shocked.
He admitted that he had never considered it in this regard.
Lu Yiming's words can be said to have awakened the dreamer.
He quickly asked: "Mr. Lu, what do you think I should do?"
Seeing that Jack Ma finally became nervous, Lu Yiming immediately analyzed the pros and cons for him: "If you want to do e-commerce, it will inevitably involve online payment. And what is online payment? Isn't this a kind of virtual bank? By then
You must apply for a financial license, so tell me, has our country in Xia ever opened this field to foreigners?"
The former Jack Ma was doing Alipay
He also encountered this problem, and the final result was that he directly turned against Son and kicked him out. In the end, he left himself with a source of criticism, saying that he was dishonest and ungrateful.
Now after being reminded by Lu Yiming, Jack Ma immediately reacted.
