Throughout 1996, Ma Xiaoyun basically fooled around in Beijing. He still hasn't cleared out his shares in China's Yellow Pages, and continues to run the market - mainly because he doesn't know what other business to do.

First of all, Ma Xiaoyun went to Zhongguancun to find Zhang Shuxin of Yinghaiwei to cooperate, declaring that he wanted to be "China's Yahoo". Ms. Zhang was busy building the information superhighway and didn't have time to pay attention to him, so she chatted casually for half an hour and then sent off the guests politely. Leaving Yinghaiwei, Ma Xiaoyun said to He Yibing: "If someone on the Internet must die, she Zhang Shuxin will definitely die earlier than me." A few years later, Inghaiwei died.

Then, Ma Xiaoyun met a driver named Qian Feng again. In fact, Qian Feng used to be an employee of Sitong, and later did his own pager business. was fooled by Ma Xiaoyun, Qian Feng put down his good business, worked as a full-time driver for Ma Xiaoyun, and drove Ma Xiaoyun to major ministries and commissions of the central government and major media to promote business all day long.

Several media outlets spontaneously helped Ma Xiaoyun to do publicity, and "China Trade News" even used a 5,000-word long feature to report on Ma Xiaoyun on the front page of the newspaper.

Sun Yanjun, the editor-in-chief of "China Trade News", has been stunned by Ma Xiaoyun's Internet theory, put down his work, and took Ma Xiaoyun around the central ministries and commissions. To no avail, he took Ma Xiaoyun to the Chang'an Club and found a bunch of media and wealthy businessmen to do a press conference.

At the press conference, Ma Xiaoyun stunned more than 30 reporters and a bunch of wealthy businessmen.

It's a pity that it was too much, and a wealthy businessman asked: "Since the Internet is such a good thing, will the state let you do it with a private enterprise?"

Ma Xiaoyun was speechless, and the scene was very embarrassing.

Another wealthy businessman said: "If you can convince People's X to make a website, we will believe you!"

Ma Xiaoyun then met an employee in charge of administrative work of "People's X Daily" through a relationship, and soon became buddies, and they got together in the dark when they had nothing to do.

One day, this guy was on duty, and Ma Xiaoyun went to talk to him again. When the conversation was enthusiastic, a cadre came in the office, and the cadre also joined the chattering team, and when he left, he patted Ma Xiaoyun on the shoulder and said: "Young man, with your deep understanding of the Internet, it is enough to give several lessons to cadres at or above the department level of "People's X Daily" and tell them about the Internet. ”

That cadre is the director of the Future Development Bureau of the People's X Newspaper. The day after talking to Ma Xiaoyun, Director Gu arranged for Ma Xiaoyun to give a lecture at the newspaper. A certain secretary general of the society was stunned again, and the day after listening to the class, he sent a report to the higher department and applied for the establishment of the People's Network.

Ma Xiaoyun immediately transferred his technical team from Linzhou to participate in the creation of People's Daily Online.

……

At the beginning of the new semester, Song Weiyang asked for leave to go to the capital. He didn't let Yang Xin come over for the time being, after all, the situation was not clear, and there was no need to mobilize the two CEOs of the company to come forward.

After getting off the plane, Song Weiyang called Ma Xiaoyun directly: "Old Ma, I'm Song Weiyang, what are you doing?"

"I was at the People's X newspaper and helped them create People's Network. Ma Xiaoyun said.

Song Weiyang said, "Then I'll go find you." ”

"You're also coming to the capital?" asked Ma Xiaoyun.

"Just got off the plane. Song Weiyang said.

Ma Xiaoyun said: "Then when you go to the newspaper office, just come directly to the information department and report my name." ”

"Yes, it's a big hand. Song Weiyang said with a smile.

When Song Weiyang arrived at the newspaper office, he found that Ma Xiaoyun's card was really big, and everyone knew his name when he said it, and someone took the initiative to help him show the way.

"Old Ma, I'm here. Song Weiyang called in the aisle and said.

A door suddenly opened, and Ma Xiaoyun leaned out and beckoned, "Old Song, this way!"

Song Weiyang walked over and shook hands with him: "Yes, yes, the business has been done in "People's X Daily". ”

Ma Xiaoyun said with a smile: "It's not profitable at all, I estimate that I will have to work here for more than half a year." ”

Although this business is not profitable, it will be able to cause a sensation across the country after the official operation of People's Daily Online next year. Ma Xiaoyun also met many people, learned what e-commerce is, and made several e-commerce websites, one of which was praised by the central leadership as "the never-ending online Canton Fair". These websites did not make much money, but Ma Xiaoyun was taken by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation because of this, and hired his entire team into the ministry to build a government foreign trade website, and accumulated a lot of contacts during this period.

Song Weiyang walked into this room and saw that there were more than a dozen computers, and some young people were busy.

Ma Xiaoyun pointed to a young man and said, "This is Li Qi, my right-hand man, his skills are very powerful!"

Li Qi turned his head and smiled at Song Weiyang, and continued to work.

One of the eighteen Arhats, of course Song Weiyang knows. When this person graduated last year, he went to the job fair, and he was stunned, and was recruited into the company by Ma Xiaoyun's number one general, He Yibing.

This is nothing, the entry experience of the other two eighteen Arhats is interesting.

Sun Tongyu was originally an advertisement, but when he heard that Ma Xiaoyun had made the Yellow Pages in China, he thought that this must be a big customer (Kai) household (son), so he took the initiative to pull business. Ma Xiaoyun felt that this guy was very dedicated and had a set of publicity, so he flickered wildly and pulled the good advertising company staff under his hands. Sun Tongyu not only joined Ma Xiaoyun's company by himself, but also brought his girlfriend in.

Many years later, Sun Tongyu became the vice president of Alibaba and the general manager of Taobao.com, and his girlfriend became the chairman of Ant Financial, the CPO of Alibaba, and the CEO of Alipay.

There is also a man named Xie Shihuang, who was a poor boy when he first graduated, with a monthly salary of 82 yuan. One day, he received a call from his girlfriend, and his girlfriend said that he wanted to break up, Xie Shihuang hurriedly borrowed 50 yuan to take the train over, and saw his girlfriend in a heavy rainstorm, but he still couldn't save the relationship. Three years later, Xie Shihuang entered the communication company to work, with an annual salary of more than 40,000 yuan, which was considered a high-income class at that time, and it was definitely the protagonist template in the network.

But it is such a high-paid white-collar worker, who will be fooled by Ma Xiaoyun next year, and is willing to reduce his salary and follow Ma Xiaoyun to the capital. When Alibaba was in the most difficult time, Xie Shihuang, who used to have an annual salary of 40,000 yuan, had a sentence on his MSN for a long time: When the end of the month comes, whoever gives me 10,000 yuan, I am willing to go to Huaihai Road to run naked.

Poor!

I don't know if Xie Shihuang at that time regretted resigning and following Ma Xiaoyun.

Many years later, Xie Shihuang had a net worth of 16.5 billion yuan.

Song Weiyang visited for a while and said with a smile: "Let's go, old horse, find a place to drink." ”
