On the afternoon of February 19th, the sky was clear and clear.

After dealing with the company's affairs, he looked at the time, and it was past two o'clock, and Cai Congxin was ready to drive to the Fuquan Tea House in Yongfu Temple by the West Lake.

In the afternoon, he made an appointment to meet someone on Facebook.

Of course, he can't tell outsiders about this, everything is not clear yet, just touch and talk.

Which way things will go, who knows.

Before leaving the company, he also discussed with Lao Ma the Taobao project in preparation, for this project, everyone is more optimistic, and at the same time not very confident.

In China, the network payment is not perfect, the logistics is not developed, this C2C model will not work, no one can say.

But either way, you can't go wrong with a try.

That's the way the Internet industry is, you have to keep trying and making mistakes, as long as you can afford the cost of trial and error.

In case of......

A project is on fire!

Anyway, it's all the investor's money that is burned, and it is not spent in vain.

............

Yongfu Temple is located on the shore of West Lake, deep in Lingyin, under the stalagmite peak, and separated by a wall from Fayun Ancient Village. The temple is beautifully built, and Bishan is lined with a grapefruit-like bright yellow brick wall, which retains the legacy of Tang Dynasty architecture.

The Fuquan Tea House is a teahouse opened by Yongfu Temple itself, and all the tea used here is produced in its own tea garden.

It is said to be stained with the aura of the temple, so it can be deaf and clear when you drink it......

The teahouse looks relatively simple, just a two-story ancient building, with vermilion painted exterior walls, tall eaves, and dark plaques, all revealing an antique atmosphere.

Cai Congxin is a regular customer here, and he likes to come to this place to drink tea and talk about things.

Maybe it's because you're in a temple, and you can't help but feel calm.

"Master Yuanjue, have you arrived?"

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the tea house, Cai Congxin parked his car and saw a black "Shanghai A" Mercedes-Benz parked in the small parking lot at the door, so he guessed that Yu Wenfei should have arrived, so he asked.

"It's already here, in the private room on the second floor, the donor just goes over directly. The great monk at the gate of the teahouse replied.

Cai Congxin came directly to the second floor, the private room he had booked, the door of the room was open, and he knocked politely.

"Please come in. ”

After pushing the door in, Cai Congxin saw two young people, a man and a woman, sitting in the room, it was Yu Wenfei and his secretary Hu Jingjing.

"Hello Mr. Cai. ”

"Mr. Fei?"

The two greeted each other at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled.

Although it was the first time they met, they had a sense of déjà vu, perhaps because the two had similar auras......

This is the first time Yu Wenfei has seen Cai Congxin himself, he is of medium height, fair skin, meticulously combed hair, and wears a pair of glasses, which looks like an elegant feeling.

Seriously, he and Lao Ma stand together, and those are simply two extremes.

Cai Congxin also looked at Yu Wenfei, for this genius boy, although he really admired the name for a long time, it was also the first time he had seen a real person.

Yu Wenfei is now more than 1.8 meters tall, and he looks a head taller than Cai Congxin, standing face to face, Cai Congxin has to tilt his face slightly. The short hair is very refreshing, the facial features are delicate and clean, and the eyes are not big but very bright.

What impressed Cai Congxin the most was Yu Wenfei's smile, that kind of smile was not contrived at all, and it looked sincere.

How do you describe this smile......

That's right, a baby's smile!

It's such a sunny boy, and it is incredible that he has started a famous website in half a year, Cai Cong sighed confidently.

............

After getting to know each other, the three of them sat down, and the monk of the tea house brought up Longjing and Sudian and retreated.

"Come, Mr. Fei tastes the Longjing here, which tastes much better than the ones sold on the market. Cai Congxin picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Yu Wenfei and Hu Jingjing.

The tea leaves here are all homemade, and when you hold the teacup, a fragrance of tea comes to your face.

However, today is obviously not here for tea, but to talk about business.

"Mr. Cai, the headhunting consultant should have given you a general introduction to the situation. I won't go around in circles, Facebook lacks a CEO, and you are the most suitable person. Yu Wenfei said.

Cai Congxin picked up the teacup unhurriedly and took a sip before saying: "Mr. Fei, you should also know something about my resume, I am now in Ali as the chief financial officer, as a CEO, I may ......"

"I understand your situation, but I still think that there is no problem for you to be the CEO!" Yu Wenfei said dryly.

Yu Wenfei does know Cai Congxin very well, as the second person in Ali Group, future generations do not know how many news reports about him. Others think that Cai Congxin is only good at financing, which is too underestimating him!

Take a closer look at his resume, and you will understand, in addition, Lao Ma has also said in public more than once that if he is asked to choose the person who helps him the most and trusts him the most, it is undoubtedly Cai Congxin!

Joe Tsai, born on the island, is a Chinese-Canadian, practicing lawyer in New York State, and holds a bachelor's degree in economics and East Asian studies from Yale University and a Juris Doctor degree from Yale Law School.

From 1995 to 1999, he was the Vice President and Senior Investment Manager of InvestorAsia Limited, a subsidiary of InvestorAB, the largest industrial holding company in the Nordic region, where he was primarily responsible for the firm's private equity business in Asia.

From 1994 to 1995, Mr. Tsai served as vice president and general counsel of Rosecliff, Inc., a New York-based M&A firm.

From 1990 to 1993, he worked as a lawyer at Sullivan & Cromwell Law Firm in New York.

His family background, as well as his wife's family background, is very unusual.

His father Tsai Chung Hsin and his grandfather Tsai Liucheng founded a law firm in Taipei City, which is now a well-known large-scale international law and commercial law firm on Quanbao Island.

His wife Clara, formerly known as Wu Huaming, is the daughter of Wu Sanlian, the mayor of the capital of Treasure Island. And the Wu family, which is even more powerful in Treasure Island, is said to be controlled by the Wu family.

This is a top talent with a deep legal and financial background!

............

Cai Congxin was silent for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Fei should also know that I hold a lot of shares in Alibaba. At the beginning, I gave up the preferential treatment of IAB and moved my family to Hangzhou, with a salary of 500 yuan, so that Ali would succeed one day. Now that three years have passed and Ali is on his way to success, how can I give up at this moment. ”

Yu Wenfei smiled faintly, "Mr. Cai, everyone is a smart person, and they all understand a truth. That is, success is not just about sticking to one place, changing directions, maybe you can achieve greater success!"

"Greater success......" Cai Congxin repeated in a low voice.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Yu Wenfei: "That Fei always thinks, what is the greater success?"

Yu Wenfei stretched out his index finger and said softly: "First!"

Cai Congxin was a little puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "First, Facebook is already the number one blog website. ”

Yu Wenfei shook his head and explained: "No, I'm talking about the number one in the industry, whether it is the number of users, traffic, influence, market value, or profit, all of them are the first!"

That's a little scary.

The whole industry, this means that all Internet companies are included!

In terms of the number of users, can anyone compare to Tencent?

In terms of traffic, can anyone compare to Baidu?

In terms of influence, this is not easy to say, Sina, Baidu, and Tencent can all compete for it.

In terms of market capitalization and profitability, if Shanda is also included, then which company dares to compare with it.

All of them are the first, I'm afraid it's not a dream, so Cai Congxin looked at Yu Wenfei suspiciously.

Yu Wenfei did not directly respond to his doubts, but diverted the topic and said, "Mr. Cai, which company does you think has the most development potential in the domestic Internet industry and is more hopeful for the industry to reach the top in the future?"

Of course, Facebook may also have opportunities, but for Facebook, because the profit model is not obvious, I don't understand it. Cai Congxin replied without hesitation.

The three companies he mentioned also represent the four major branches in the Internet field, portals, social networking, search engines and e-commerce!

I have to say that Cai Congxin is still very discerning, and the last three companies he said are not BAT that will basically monopolize the domestic Internet industry in the future.

The only one who looks away may be Sina......

"Then among these ones, if you were asked to choose the most promising one, which one would you choose?" Yu Wenfei asked with a smile.

Cai Congxin hesitated, this question is difficult to answer.

Because this problem should be considered in combination with various factors, sometimes, it is not that your company is good enough, and the greater impact comes from the general trend of industry development.

Social networking sites, influence and the number of users are not said, but the profit model has not been obvious enough, so it will also lead to the general low market value of such companies, which can be seen from foreign ready-made examples.

ICQ is good enough, the originator of instant messaging software, the number of users exceeded 100 million in 2001, and in 2003, the number of users worldwide exceeded 1 billion!

However, it was acquired by AOL for only 400 million dollars, and even in 2003, as a division of AOL, its individual valuation did not exceed 10 billion US dollars.

But during the same period, Amazon, the leading e-commerce company, had a market value of more than $20 billion!

As for the representatives of the portal, not to mention Yahoo, with a market capitalization of more than a hundred billion!

It can be said that at that time, the entire industry, the most optimistic was still portals and search engines.

Because, these two are the biggest traffic entrances.

At that time, when it came to the Internet, there was one company that could never be bypassed, and it could be said that this company represented the vane of the entire Internet.

This company is Yahoo!

Some people say that Yahoo is everything about the Internet.
