Chapter 105: All Roads Lead to Rome
It didn't matter if Boss Ma shouted, all the people in the company immediately looked at him, even Cai Chongxin, who walked to the door, immediately turned back because of this shout.
Everyone knows that Boss Ma has been coveting this domain name for a long time.
Cai Chongxin has long advised him to take down this domain name as soon as possible, even if it is 10,000 US dollars, the price is still worth it.
After all, everyone's goal is to be an international company, and for an international company, 10,000 dollars to buy a domain name is already very cheap.
Otherwise, once your company grows, the domain owner will keep raising the price.
At that point, it will cost more to buy it.
But Boss Ma didn't start in the end out of many considerations.
There are many reasons why I didn't do it.
First of all, this domain name is really expensive;
Secondly, there is no strong guarantee in these years, in case the other party is not credible, the money may be wasted, after all, the other party is a Canadian, in case of being deceived, there is no chance to call the police;
Again, he has always felt that only he will be interested in this domain name, and no one else should buy it.
That's why he wanted to wait until the capital was negotiated, and then use the capital money to buy.
But now, the cruel reality instantly regrets it.
I knew that there were still people interested in this domain name, but I would definitely grit my teeth and take it down......
At this time, Cai Chongxin had already come to his computer.
Glancing at the screen, he frowned and said, "You use NetEase 163's mailbox, Huaxia?"
"Looks like it!" Boss Ma nodded nervously: "What a hell!"
He also noticed this detail, so he was very worried, and he didn't know why a Chinese person would take this domain name.
The price of this domain name is 10,000 US dollars, which means that the price of JeremyXu to buy this domain name will definitely not be less than this amount!
Is he crazy? Alibaba, this is a four-spell domain name! This domain name is worthless to the current domestic Internet.
After all,This year, register a Larry domain name casually,It's a few dozen dollars,And for Chinese people,Larry vocabulary is more catchyγ
Could it be that alibaba has any special significance to this JeremyXu?!
Then the more important question is, what is the intention of this person to spend so much money to buy this domain name?
Is he going to start a company called Alibaba?
If that's the case, it's really tricky.
No matter what industry he does with Alibaba, as long as he has this domain name, he is authentic Alibaba!
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little upset.
He had a strong obsession with the name, which had been haunting his mind for a year, and he never intended to change it.
Otherwise, when he knew that this domain name was sold for $10,000, he could have directly thought of another name, and there was no need to register an alibaba-online domain name as an alternative.
Cai Chongxin on the side knew his dedication to this name, so he asked him: "Mr. Ma, what should we do now?"
Boss Ma said resolutely: "No matter how much it costs, I will buy this domain name back!"
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately opened his mailbox and sent an email to Xu Yiyang's mailbox.
In the email, Boss Ma asked Xu Yiyang: "Hello friend, I am on the website, I saw the email address you left, and I took the liberty to ask, is your domain name for sale? If so, how much is it?"
Xu Yiyang received the email and looked at the sender's name, JackMa0910, it seems that this is Boss Ma himself.
He didn't expect that the domain name had just been changed to his hands today, and Boss Ma immediately came to him, and it seemed that he had been paying attention to this domain name.
Thinking of this, he sent an email back to Boss Ma: "This domain name has not been considered for sale for the time being, sorry." β
A few minutes later, Boss Ma replied to the email: "Friend, the email chat efficiency is too low, do you have OICQ? Can we add a friend? My number is ......"
Xu Yiyang couldn't help but smile dumbly, it seems that when the bigwigs no longer want to be giants, they are still very harmonious.
It is likely that at that stage when everyone's well water does not violate the river water, Boss Ma has been using Mr. Ma's QQ, and Mr. Ma will go to Taobao to shop online if he has nothing to do.
But later, Boss Ma engaged in Wangwang, engaged in contacts, and engaged in DingTalk;
Mr. Ma also engaged in patting, invested in JD.com, opened a micro-store, and invested in Pinduoduo.
The two of them are so desperate to target each other, is it the distortion of human nature, or the degradation of morality?
In the final analysis, it is only because of the insatiable heart in each other's hearts.
After sighing for a while, Xu Yiyang deleted the introduction of investors on his OICQ, and then added Boss Ma as a friend.
Boss Ma immediately sent him a message: "Friend, what price do you plan to sell this domain name?"
Xu Yiyang said: "I don't think about selling, I plan to use it myself." β
"Use it yourself?!" Boss Ma hurriedly asked again: "I don't know what you are going to do?"
"Yes. Xu Yiyang said nonsense: "I plan to make a website to read the world's classic fairy tales online, after all, everyone has heard the story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves, and it is catchy." β
Boss Ma hurriedly said: "You can call it the Frog Prince or Snow White, these two stories are more famous than Alibaba." β
Xu Yiyang said: "No, I still like the story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves. β
Boss Ma said: "I am willing to spend 100,000 yuan to buy your domain name!"
Xu Yiyang said: "I'm sorry, I'm not short of money, I asked a friend in Canada to buy this domain name for me, and it cost $10,000, and it is impossible to sell it for a little difference." β
Seeing this, Boss Ma became even more anxious and said, "If I don't think it's enough, I can add a little more." β
Xu Yiyang said: "It's not a matter of money, I don't care if you give out a million, because I really don't lack this money." β
Saying that, Xu Yiyang said again: "It is my obsession and feelings to be a fairy tale website. β
Boss Ma was desperate in his heart, so he had to say: "I have actually taken a fancy to this domain name for a long time, because the former owner of the domain name is overseas, and it is inconvenient to trade, so I have not started, so I also hope that my friends can cut love, and I will try to reflect sincerity in the price." β
Xu Yiyang said: "Dude, I've already told you, it's not interesting to chase and ask, if you really want this domain name, then wait until October, if my fairy tale website hasn't been done in October, let's talk about the domain name at that time." β
After speaking, Xu Yiyang recorded Boss Ma's OICQ number and directly deleted him from the friend list.
Boss Ma saw that the other party had deleted himself, and he was ten thousand bored in his heart.
Cai Chongxin kept watching him and Xu Yiyang's chat, glanced at him at this time, and asked, "Mr. Ma, what should I do now?"
Boss Ma sighed and said, "Things are in the hands of others, there is no other way but to wait." β
After speaking, he said depressedly: "Spending $10,000 to buy a domain name to build a fairy tale website, isn't this just money to burn? How can this kind of project have any business model? Sooner or later, it will be yellow!"
Cai Chongxin said: "I can only pay attention to it every day, and I hope that his project will be stillborn." β
......
At this time, Xu Yiyang was sitting cross-legged on the ground, excited about the laptop on the coffee table.
I have already got in touch with Boss Ma, and the rest will be left to time.
He speculated that Lin Xiaru, who is familiar with Cai Chongxin, should have heard of Ali's project, but because Ali himself is not ready, investors should not have an in-depth understanding of it for the time being.
So he decided to polish and polish his business plan and send it out in early August.
As a result, investors like Lin Xiaru and others should immediately lose confidence in investing in Alibaba, and then lose interest.
Although Boss Ma has tossed some fame and connections in recent years, the capital industry is very cruel, and it is the common feature of all capitalists to send umbrellas on sunny days and collect umbrellas on rainy days.
If you lose confidence in his project, no one will ever throw millions of dollars at him for the sake of face and relationships.
If Lin Xiaru does not take the lead on behalf of Goldman Sachs, and other capitals are not optimistic, Boss Ma's financing will definitely hit a wall everywhere.
At that time, he no longer had the energy to buy a domain name for himself.
However, now that I have his email address and OICQ, I can take the initiative to find him when the time comes, and say, "Hey buddy, my fairy tale website is not ready to be done, do you still want this domain name?"
If he says yes, ask him what he's going to do, talk about his general business plan, and then pretend to be interested and say to him, "Sounds good, do you need to invest? β
If he says he doesn't want to, I'll ask him what's going on? If he doesn't, I'll just ask, "Did you encounter any setbacks?" You might as well say it, and I'll see if I can help you solve it. β
Anyway, the bureau is all laid out, and then all roads will lead to Rome.
As long as Boss Ma is willing to take his own investment, the money and the domain name will be given with his own hands to save him from the dire situation.
In the middle of his excitement, a cartoon pony's avatar flashes in his friends list.
It was a message from Mr. Ma of Shenzhen: "Mr. Xu, have you decided to come to Guangcheng?"
In the past two days, Mr. Ma has been very nervous.
He was afraid that Xu Yiyang would just be a flash in the pan, so after investing in him, he turned his head and released the pigeons.
So when I saw that his OICQ was online, I hurried over and asked.
Xu Yiyang replied: "It's set, my plane on Monday morning, after I arrive, I will first find a law firm, Gu A lawyer who is good at investment and financing, and on Tuesday morning, we will each bring our lawyers to meet in Guangcheng." β
When Mr. Ma saw this, he finally put his mind at ease.
Xu Yiyang's 4.8 million yuan is life-saving food and grass in his opinion, and nothing can be lost.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Mr. Ma asked again: "Mr. Xu, has your hotel been booked, do you want me to find a friend to help you arrange it?"
Xu Yiyang said: "No need Mr. Ma, I have already called and booked the Hilton Hotel in Guangcheng, and you and your lawyer can come directly to Hilton at that time." β
Mr. Ma said excitedly: "Okay, Mr. Xu, then we'll see you on Tuesday morning!"
Mr. Ma's words, for Xu Yiyang, are simply a huge wealth beckoning!
Xu Yiyang's mood was more excited than him, and he typed five words with a trembling hand:
"Mr. Ma, see you on Tuesday!"
