Everyone said goodbye one by one, Lin Yan waited until the end, he was thinking that since Ma Yun left him to attend the dinner, he should have something to talk to him. Sure enough, when Lin Yan got up and was about to say goodbye, Ma Yun took the initiative to pat Lin Yan on the shoulder and said, "Lin Yan is not in a hurry to go back tomorrow, let's take a walk around the West Lake in the evening and see how the night view is." ”

"Okay, I have heard that 'Lingxiu Xizi, heaven on earth', 'If you want to compare the West Lake to Xizi, it is always appropriate to apply heavy makeup', the West Lake at night has not been visited, and it is this intention, then please take a walk with Mr. Ma. ”

Starting from the gate of Shangri-La Hotel, adjacent to the nearest Xiling Bridge, one of the three bridges of West Lake, several people walked slowly along Gushan Road, Ma Yun and Lin Yan walked in front, and Zhou Tong and Ma Yun's assistant followed behind to chat.

At night, the West Lake is less noisy and lively during the day, and more quiet and emotional. The autumn wind carries the lake water, rolls forward, touches the shore, with a little bit of smart fluttering sound, and with a little bit of mysterious retreat, the simple rhythm is refreshing.

Standing on the Xiling Bridge, looking at the jewels in the east, the pretty Baoshu Pagoda shows off the mountain, Chu Chu is moving; the south overlooks the lonely mountain reflecting the waves, the three islands in the lake can be vaguely seen in the vast water light; the west is connected to the Yue Temple and the Spring Dawn of the Su Causeway, which makes people both magnificent and intense, and makes people fascinated; the north is Geling and Qixialing, and the Shangri-La Hotel is close at hand, which can be said to be the scenery of looking up and down, looking left and right. On the west side of the north bank of Xiling Bridge is the silent hexagonal pavilion - Mucai Pavilion, that is, Su Xiaoxiao's tomb.

There are three lover bridges in the West Lake, the white snake and Xu Xian of the broken bridge, the Liangshanbo and Zhu Yingtai of the long bridge, and then Su Xiaoxiao of the Xiling Bridge.

"Lin Yan, look at this little tomb of Su, we are now standing on the Xiling Bridge, do you know why I brought you here?" Ma Yun suddenly asked Lin Yan.

Lin Yan didn't know much about humanistic stories, but he still had some impressions of Su Xiaoxiao's story in Xiling Bridge, but now was not the time to show off the "miscellaneous family", Lin Yan said with a humble face: "Teacher Ma, I really don't know, please explain!"

"Eight years ago, I went to Yiwu alone with a hemp bag on my back and wholesaled a lot of small commodities, right here, selling small gifts, flowers, books, clothes, and flashlights. At that time, my friends and I set up a translation agency, just started and couldn't even pay salaries, I just relied on selling these small commodities to support the translation agency to go on, at that time Xiling Bridge tourists were not as many as now, but fortunately there was no chengguan. ”

Lin Yan's mind didn't turn around for a while, and he "buzzed" for a moment, thinking that Ma Yun was going to say that it was a historical and humanistic story, but who expected that he was actually telling his own story.

When Ma Yun speaks, the speed of speech is relatively fast, but the sense of rhythm is very strong, can take you to follow his intentions, his eyes look at you, but he will nod from time to time, and then turn his neck to look to the side, just at this time a couple walked by, the girl held a big fluffy toy dog in her hand.

"No, do you see that stuffed toy dog? I sold it back in the day. Ma Yun pointed to the dog in the hand of the girl who walked over and said, causing the young man to laugh, Ma Yun did not look embarrassed at all, but grinned. His assistant and several others also smiled softly and kindly, and the atmosphere was suddenly relaxed.

"Let me tell you, Lin Yan, I came out of the Ministry of Economy and Trade in 98 years, and I have a dream to build our Asian Internet model, because Asia is poor, there are not many Fortune 500 companies, if the enterprises are also divided into the rich and the poor, then the Internet is the world of the poor. Because on the Internet, large enterprises and small enterprises collect and publish how much PAGE is a price.

And I just want to lead the poor people to rise up and make a revolution.

For example, the order price of a fountain pen in the market is $15, and Walmart offers $8, but it is a $10 million order, and the supplier has to do it, but if Wal-Mart cancels the order the next year, the supplier is finished. And through the Internet, this small supplier can find customers all over the world.

A small business is like a pebble on the beach, but through the Internet, all the pebbles can be glued, and the stones that are glued with mud are infinitely powerful. You can compete with big rocks. The characteristics of the Internet economy are to fight big with small and fight slow with fast. ”

The more Ma Yun spoke, the more excited he became, "I want to be the rescuer of countless small and medium-sized enterprises." Ma Yun's more realistic consideration is that "Asia is an export-oriented economy, the world's largest export supply base, with a dense concentration of small and medium-sized suppliers, and many small exporters are controlled by large trading companies due to poor channels, and as long as these small companies are on Alibaba's network, they can be brought to the Americas and Europe." ”

"In today's economic world, large enterprises are whale turtles, small enterprises are small shrimps, and large enterprises make a living by eating shrimp. And the small shrimp make a living by eating the leftovers of the big whale and rely on each other. The world of the Internet is a personalized and independent world, and small enterprises form an independent world through the Internet, and the products are more colorful, which is where the real revolution of the Internet lies. ”

Lin Yan was very surprised, he had always heard that Ma Yun was very close to the employees, but the first time he chatted with Lin Yan, Ma Yun was able to talk so endlessly, so zero distance, it really made Lin Yan incredible, this is the big guy who will change the Internet era in the future.

But from Ma Yun's words, Lin Yan was also deeply moved and shocked, such a great ideal and pursuit, Lin Yan admitted that he was not comparable, and it was worth learning.

"Lin Yan, I know that your business is developing rapidly, starting from the game field and making a game information portal, but the pattern is too small, I can't look down on it, but I tell you today because I have taken a fancy to another thing of yours, you have an online trading platform and a payment finance company, I think this is the most suitable for commodity trade. Now we are engaged in enterprise B2B, today at the meeting, listening to you and the chat of Zhou Tong, the CEO of Alitong, I also benefited, so my next plan is to do B2C or even engage in C2C, I am very interested in your online transaction, there is an easy access network in China, but unfortunately, it is Lao Mei Investment Holdings, which is nondescript. If you are willing to cooperate, I will not copy your idea, let's do it together, finance your online trading system and Alipay financial company, we will do online transactions together, you will engage in your online game virtual transactions, and I will do my physical commodity transactions, how about it?"

Ma Yun is very sincere and direct, and he doesn't even talk about business without a trace of pretentiousness.

Lin Yan was ecstatic in his heart, almost jumping up, the purpose of his coming to H City this time was to persuade Ma Yun to do Taobao together, to engage in online transactions together, whether it was Alipay or Alipay, as long as he could do it with Ma Yun, this matter would almost become more than half.

Lin Yan stabilized his mood, but still said excitedly: "Mr. Ma, I have always admired you, from the bits and pieces of your original business to the current Ali Baba website, you have always been an example for me to learn." The payment communication and online transaction system I made are also small ideas that I came up with after seeing the Ali Baba enterprise you engaged in and connecting small and medium-sized enterprises in series. If you think that Alipay and online transaction systems have a lot to offer, I am happy to work with you to contribute to the Internet revolution. ”

"Haha, okay, Lin Yan, I thought you would still cherish yourself, but I didn't expect you to be so refreshing! Then tomorrow you will go to Ali Company to have a look, and everyone is talking about how to cooperate, okay?"

"Okay, Mr. Ma, let's build the largest online shopping website in China and even the world, so that people all over the world can find the treasures they want in our mall! Lin Yan was very happy, holding Ma Yun's hand with both hands and said.

"Shop for the baby you want! Shop for the baby you want! Yes, this website is called Taobao. Ma Yun repeated what Lin Yan had just said, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, never thinking that the historical shopping network "Taobao" was born again.

After Ma Yun chatted with Lin Yan, he chatted with Zhou Tong again, and he wanted to hear Zhou Tong's news about Alitong Financial Company. Zhou Tong looked at Lin Yan, and Lin Yan nodded. So Zhou Tong naturally chatted with Ma Yun about the business and development prospects of Alitong......

The night of the West Lake is getting deeper and deeper, and the tourists are decreasing, and the night lights on the shore are still brilliant and colorful. Looking at the Baoshu Pagoda on the Gem Mountain in the distance, the whole mountain is illuminated by lights, and the pagoda shines like a jewel, crystal clear, and is very beautiful.

At this time, several people are walking to one of the ten views of the West Lake, where the broken bridge is remnant snow, Lin Yan can't help but think of the beautiful legend - here, the white lady and Xu Xian met, returned to the city in the same boat, and borrowed an umbrella to make a relationship.

A painting boat slowly sails past the lake, shining with gorgeous lights, like a walking palace, slowly swimming towards the island in the middle of the lake. There are beautiful women standing in the flower boat, looking around from the center of the lake, and Lin Yan and others are also watching them sail towards the center of the lake.

You stand on the boat and look at the view, and the people watching the view are watching you from the shore.

A group of several people, all in a very good mood, walked along the shore of the lake and slowly on the white embankment. Teacher Ma is even more eloquent, telling Lin Yan the scenery and stories from time to time, the white snake and Xu Xian on the broken bridge, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai on the long bridge, and Su Xiaoxiao on the Xiling Bridge who has just walked. From the folk Wu Song Tomb to the revolutionary martyr Qiu Jin, from the imperial garden where the willow waves are singing orioles, to the current people's garden. It's a pity that it is the end of the lunar month now, and I don't see the full moon or the beautiful scenery of the autumn moon in Pinghu Lake, but the lake is rippling, sparkling, and the fire trees and silver flowers on the shore are beautiful. Lin Yan inadvertently remembered Bai Juyi's poem thousands of years ago: the eastward travel of the favorite lake is insufficient, and the white sand embankment in the green poplar shade, at this time there is really a feeling of "chaotic flowers gradually want to charm the eyes".

As a result, it lives up to the reputation of "heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below", Lin Yan thought to himself, if there is really a heavenly Yao Pond, it will be nothing more than that. For thousands of years, there are too many stories left by the West Lake, and visiting the West Lake is like being in a painting, listening to the history of ancient and modern times.

Everywhere you look back, it's hard to say goodbye to the lake.
