Lin Weidong asked with a smile: "Teacher Ma, you look so thin, I don't know if you have hidden kung fu?"

Ma Xiaoyun said with a straight face: "Weidong, don't think I'm joking, if you're interested, we can compare." ”

Lin Weidong smiled and waved his hand: "Teacher Ma, I think it's better to forget it, I'm afraid that if I really make a move, I will hurt your old man." ”

Ma Xiaoyun was not convinced, and asked rhetorically: "Weidong, have you ever fought?" Let me tell you, from elementary school to middle school, I was the one who fought the most, the most tragic group fight, and I was injured so much that my bones were exposed, and I didn't get stitches without anesthetic, although it was very painful, but I didn't shed a drop of tears at that time. ”

Looking at Ma Xiaoyun, who was talking eloquently, Lin Weidong was also interested, and said, "Teacher Ma, if that's not the case, let's take a look at the wrists first to see who has the most strength." ”

"Okay, come on," Ma Xiaoyun got up from his chair and began to warm up.

Then, Lin Weidong and Ma Xiaoyun began to wrench their wrists at the dinner table.

"123 starts!" As soon as Ma Xiaoyun's report was over, he used his strength to eat milk and began to press down, wanting to catch Lin Weidong off guard.

Lin Weidong saw that Ma Xiaoyun had already flares up, and he didn't dare to slack off, gritting his teeth to bear Ma Xiaoyun's "attack".

However, after the fight, Lin Weidong soon discovered that Ma Xiaoyun's strength was not great.

So, Lin Weidong was full of courage and directly broke Ma Xiaoyun's wrist.

In the first game, Lin Weidong won and Ma Xiaoyun lost.

Ma Xiaoyun was not convinced, and then said: "Let's play another game, let's change positions." ”

Lin Weidong has already won a game, even if he loses, it is only a draw, so he naturally has no opinion.

"Yes, just change it. ”

In the second game, Lin Weidong still won, and Ma Xiaoyun lost.

Lin Weidong smiled and asked, "Teacher Ma, how is it, my strength is okay, right?"

Ma Xiaoyun said disappreciatively: "I admit that your strength is greater than mine, but your strength does not mean that you are strong in fighting." ”

"It's not okay to have brute force in time and space in a fight, your brain and body nerves need to react faster than the other party, when to attack, how to attack, when to block, when to dodge, when to confuse the enemy, this requires brains. ”

"Weidong, if you don't believe it, let's find an open place later, and have a serious fight!

Lin Weidong smiled and persuaded: "Teacher Ma, don't make trouble, I'm here to talk to you about business this time, not to fight with you." ”

Although Ma Xiaoyun is still a little unsatisfied and wants to talk to Lin Weidong, he also knows very well that work is more important than fun.

Subsequently, Ma Xiaoyun also told Lin Weidong his thoughts: "Weidong, your Century Blog is doing a very good job, I asked you to come to Hangzhou, and I also want to discuss with you the cooperation between Alibaba and Century Blog." ”

Lin Weidong asked with interest: "Teacher Ma, let's be straight, how do you want to cooperate?"

Ma Xiaoyun said: "We have considered two plans, one is to directly acquire your Century Blog, and the other is long-term advertising and drainage cooperation. ”

Lin Weidong then asked, "Mr. Ma, I want to know, which one do you personally prefer?"

Ma Xiaoyun said frankly: "Personally, I am more inclined to direct acquisition, and frankly speaking, we in Alibaba are very envious of the traffic that your Century Blog has." ”

In fact, even if Ma Xiaoyun doesn't say it, Lin Weidong is very clear that Alibaba wants to acquire Century Blog, mainly to attract traffic and advertise Alibaba's companies.

Among them, the one that needs the most traction of the Century Blog is Taobao, a subsidiary of Alibaba.

On the other hand, Lin Weidong's purpose in creating the Century Blog is different from the purpose of creating the Century Chinese Network.

In Lin Weidong's view, Century Chinese Network has the hope of becoming an enterprise that has survived for more than 20 years.

Lin Weidong founded the Century Blog, not to develop the blog culture, mainly to attract traffic to the Century Chinese Network, and did not want to treat the Century Blog as a long-term career.

Because Lin Weidong knows very well that in the memory of his previous life, blogs will not be popular for too long, and may be popular for three or two years at most, and then they will be gradually replaced by Weibo.

Therefore, as long as the price is right, Lin Weidong will also consider selling Century Blog to other companies.

Thinking of this, Lin Weidong asked expectantly: "Mr. Ma, how much do you want to spend to acquire our Century Blog?"

After thinking for a moment, Ma Xiaoyun asked, "5 million US dollars, how about it?"

Lin Weidong smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, don't joke with me, you Alibaba can try it with 5 million US dollars by yourself to see if you can achieve the scale that Century Blog is now." ”

If Alibaba spent $5 million to promote Ali Blog before Century Blog, then Alibaba still has hope to achieve the scale of Century Blog.

However, in the Internet industry, the emphasis is on the first come, the first to come, the front of the enterprise to do the first, the back of the enterprise to catch up, to pay 10 times, or even 20 times the effort, to have a chance to succeed.

Ma Xiaoyun also knew that the price was unreasonable, and then asked: "Then how much do you think the Century Blog is worth?"

Lin Weidong thought for a while and said, "At least $10 million." ”

After hearing Lin Weidong's offer, Ma Xiaoyun was silent, pondered for a long time with his cheeks on his cheeks, and then said, "10 million US dollars, this amount is too big." ”

"We at Alibaba don't have the ability to acquire the entire Century Blog for the time being, but we can consider cooperation, I will give you 2 million US dollars a year, and you will help us promote Taobao for the Century Blog. ”

Lin Weidong pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Ma, to be honest, since you Alibaba want the Century Blog to promote Taobao, I think the price should be higher than the general promotion fee." ”

"Our Century Blog is now mainly making money from advertising, and if you pay $2 million a year, our Century Blog really doesn't have anything to do. ”

Ma Xiaoyun was not in a hurry, and said: "We can talk about the price again, the key is that I want to know, what form will your Century Blog promote Taobao?"

Lin Weidong smiled and said, "You get what you pay for, as long as the money is in place, you can publicize it as much as you want." ”

Ma Xiaoyun also smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take someone to visit your company in a few days, and we'll talk about it then." ”

Lin Weidong smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'm waiting for you." ”

After returning to Shanghai, Lin Weidong spent almost every day going around the three companies of Century Blog, Century Chinese Network, and Century Games.

Of course, when he is free, Lin Weidong will also stay at home and watch the hottest Olympics at the moment.

On the morning of August 28, Lin Weidong saw on TV that there will be a live broadcast of the men's 110-meter hurdles final today.

So, Lin Weidong immediately called Wang Gaofei to inform him: "You ask my colleagues in the information department to pay attention to the time of today's Olympic men's 110-meter final, no matter what the result is, our Century Blog will be the first to release the results of this competition." ”

Wang Gaofei nodded: "Okay boss, I'll arrange it immediately." ”

In fact, whether Liu Xiang can win the championship like in his previous life, Lin Weidong has no bottom in his heart, because he is not sure whether his rebirth has inadvertently changed the life trajectory of Liu Xiang and others.

Maybe there is, maybe not, maybe some things are meant and no one can change them.
