Chapter 301: Indifferent
As we all know, Ma Xiaoyun has always been bold and unexpected.
Many people who don't know Ma Xiaoyun think that Ma Xiaoyun is the kind of madman who "doesn't talk amazingly and dies", and likes to pretend to be profound and make some unbelievable remarks.
For example, he declared at the "West Lake Debate" that Aliriba will not be listed, nor will it be listed for the sake of listing.
In addition, Ma Xiaoyun often emphasizes the concept in front of the public: never take making money as the first goal.
In Ma Xiaoyun's view, there are three realms of making money, the first realm is what to do to make money, which is called doing business; when there is something to do and something not to do, it is to do business; the highest level is, of course, entrepreneurs with a big mission and trying to change the world.
A few months ago, Ma Xiaoyun founded Taobao with 100 million yuan invested by Sun Shangyi, and what surprised him was his choice of how to make money.
Ma Xiaoyun also announced on the West Lake Debate that in the next three years, everyone will be able to use Taobao as a trading platform for free.
Of course, Taobao's free strategy must hide the purpose of attracting potential users, and even attracting rival users.
But the time span of 3 years is really too long, which makes people feel that Ma Xiaoyun is unrealistic.
Because according to the current development speed of Taobao, it will not take three years for Taobao to reach the number of members necessary for the first trading website in China.
The development process of the Internet in China has long told the world that burning money is a blind behavior, and if you don't earn money, the opportunity to make money is likely to not come again.
Therefore, the Internet peers present all thought that Ma Xiaoyun was pretending to be forced and dying, and that his idea was too whimsical, and if Alibaba continued like this, it would be finished sooner or later.
However, Lin Weidong had to sigh in his heart that Ma Xiaoyun was indeed a visionary entrepreneur, at least in terms of vision, he was much ahead of everyone else.
After the West Lake sword debate ended, the bigwigs sat down at a table to eat.
And Lin Weidong also ate at the adjacent table with other colleagues.
Between the staggering, Ma Xiaoyun called Lin Weidong into the corner and advised: "Weidong, don't leave after eating later, I have already told President Sun about the situation of your Century Chinese Network, and he promised me that he would give you five minutes." ”
Without waiting for Lin Weidong to answer, Ma Xiaoyun then asked, "Do you know Japanese?"
Lin Weidong said calmly: "I will say a few words." ”
After listening to Lin Weidong's words, Ma Xiaoyun frowned and asked, "What words will you say?"
Lin Weidong said honestly: "Baga, Soga, Nani...... ......"
Ma Xiaoyun said angrily and funny: "What else will you say?"
"Ya Butterfly. ”
Ma Xiaoyun said angrily: "Weidong, you are serious, I'm not joking with you now." ”
Lin Weidong said with a look of embarrassment: "Teacher Ma, don't you know me yet? I'm a college normal student, what kind of Japanese do I know?"
Ma Xiaoyun asked again: "Then do you know English? It's okay to use English, when I negotiated with Mr. Sun, I used English." ”
"If you can communicate directly with him in English, I believe the chances of success will be much greater!"
Lin Weidong said with a ashamed face: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ma, I don't know much English." ”
Ma Xiaoyun sighed: "Forget it, then let the translator help translate." ”
After speaking, Ma Xiaoyun then asked: "Wei Dong, there is one more thing I want to remind you, Sun Zhengyi is a wise and foolish person, he looks wooden, speaks very strangely, and has almost no superfluous words, like a character in martial arts." ”
"When you communicate with him, try not to talk nonsense, and you don't need to keep your voice down, you just need to briefly talk to him about your thoughts. ”
After listening to Ma Xiaoyun's words, Lin Weidong nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you Teacher Ma, I know what to do." ”
Although Century Chinese Network is facing the rise of Shanda Chinese Network, it does need funds to compete with it, but Lin Weidong is not very concerned about finding Sun Zhengyi to pull investment.
Because Lin Weidong knows very well that many times, many things cannot be completely solved by money.
Just like the current Shanda Chinese Network, even if Cheng Tianqiao smashes 100 million yuan into it every year, the development of Shanda Chinese Network may not be able to surpass Century Chinese Network in the short term.
Moreover, Lin Weidong does not really want to cooperate with the Japanese, and if he can, he would rather accept Alibaba's investment.
However, what made Lin Weidong wonder was that Ma Xiaoyun didn't think about it, so he directly rejected him, and told him a lot of truths: "Weidong, I personally think that games can't change our Huaguo, Huaguo is originally a one-child family, if the children play games, what will the country do in the future? We applaud when people vote, but we don't do it, this is one of our principles, I hope you can understand. ”
Subsequently, Lin Weidong was still recommended by Ma Xiaoyun and met with Sun Zhengyi secretly in a box.
Looking at the young and handsome Lin Weidong, Sun Zhengyi didn't beat around the bush, but asked with a face: "How much do you want?"??
Lin Weidong didn't expect Son to be so direct, thought about it, and said: "I don't need money, if you are interested, I can introduce you to the situation of our Century Chinese Network." ”
Although Mr. Son is known as the "Emperor of Online Investment," he has not previously paid attention to literary websites that have made little profit.
So, Son asked his assistant to turn on the computer, called up the Century Chinese network, and Lin Weidong introduced him on the spot.
"Mr. Sun, our Century Chinese.com is an original literary website, which has long been committed to the excavation and cultivation of original literary authors, and takes the promotion of the original cause of Chinese literature as its development purpose, and takes this opportunity to create a new model of online paid reading, that is, electronic publishing......"
"In addition to Century Chinese.com, I also founded Century Games, and I want to attract users with the help of reading, games and other entertainment methods, and leverage the entire entertainment industry chain ......."
Ten minutes later, Son said, "Lin Weidong, I will send a delegation to your company in a few days." ”
Lin Weidong didn't show too much surprise, but just said politely: "Welcome." ”
After staying in Hangzhou for two days, Chen Liling went back to Shanghai first, while Lin Weidong went to the capital.
Originally, Lin Weidong went to the capital for the second time, mainly to meet Gao Yuanyuan, but she was not in the capital because of the promotion of the new play, so Lin Weidong met with Huang Fei.
Although in the eyes of many media reporters, Huang Fei is a difficult artist to interview, looking arrogant, withdrawn, and difficult to get along with, but Lin Weidong has been in contact for a long time before he is sure that those legends are fake.
In fact, Huang Fei is not only not difficult to get along with, but also likes to joke in private.
At least in front of Lin Weidong, Huang Fei has never blackened her face.
Of course, Lin Weidong is also interesting enough, this time he came to the capital, and he specially brought a demo of "Because of Love" for Huang Fei and Eason Chan to sing together.
Huang Fei has a special place, that is, there is room for singing every song, some singers are obviously fake in their hearts, but they sing crying dad and calling mother, while Huang Fei has a lot of real emotions in her heart, but she sings lightly.
Singing is like this, so are people, indifferent, indisputable, silent and arrogant.
Huang Fei liked the song "Because of Love" very much, but felt very strange, and asked Lin Weidong: "Mr. Lin, why do you have to let me sing with him? Do you think that I can't control this song alone?"
Lin Weidong denied with a smile: "Of course not, I just think this song is not suitable for solo singing, it is more suitable for male and female duets, if you can cooperate with Eason Chan, I believe this will be a classic male and female chorus golden song." ”
Huang Fei didn't have any opinion on Lin Weidong's suggestion, but asked him curiously: "Why Eason Chan?
Lin Weidong replied with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, the song "Because of Love" was originally tailor-made by me for you. ”
