393 [Suffering is a blessing]
Ma Xiaoyun and his gang had a total of seven people, Song Weiyang's Hummer sat three, and called a taxi to take four, and sent them all back to the dormitory.
The snowflakes that drifted in the sky became slightly smaller and melted immediately when they landed on the skin.
Ma Xiaoyun didn't drink alcohol after vomiting, slept all the way in the car, got out of the car and froze again, and returned to the dormitory to become extremely awake.
The others went back to their rooms to sleep one after another, and Song Weiyang was also ready to leave, Ma Xiaoyun smiled: "Let's talk." ”
"Okay, let's talk. Song Weiyang dragged the bench and sat down.
Ma Xiaoyun took out a few pockets of his body, found that the cigarette was gone, and stretched out his hand and said, "Give me a cigarette." ”
Song Weiyang threw a Chinese cigarette and lit the lighter. Ma Xiaoyun leaned his head to borrow the fire, took a deep breath and said, "I drank a little too much, I just let you see the joke." ”
"My set of clothes was bought by Hong Kong City, it's quite expensive, you have to compensate. Song Weiyang joked.
Ma Xiaoyun was stimulated by nicotine to become more sober, swallowing clouds and spitting out mist: "I must lose, when I make a lot of money in the future, I will ask the most famous tailor abroad to tailor it for you." ”
"That's called a costume designer. Song Weiyang said.
"It's all the same. Ma Xiaoyun said.
The two of them suddenly laughed, laughing endlessly, like two psychopaths in Hong Weiguo's eyes.
Ma Xiaoyun said: "Actually, my current situation is nothing, at least there are hundreds of thousands left. It's just that I did a terrible job in the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and I held back my grievances, and I had to drink alcohol to vent my feelings. ”
Song Weiyang said: "The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation is a big organ, and you have a lot of ideas of your own, so it is inevitable that conflicts will arise. ”
Ma Xiaoyun said: "The bureaucratic thinking mode and my thinking mode are completely incompatible. They have their considerations, I have my opinions, but every time there is a disagreement, I have to make concessions, what's the point of doing this? It's a pity that more than a year has been wasted!"
"It's never too late to start over. Song Weiyang comforted.
"Yes, what is this?" Ma Xiaoyun suddenly laughed, sat up straight and instantly cheered up, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "When I was most panicked, it was in the United States four years ago. At that time, it was necessary to build a highway from Linzhou to Funan, and the project had been going on for more than a year, but the US funds were not in place for a long time. I was sent to the United States to work as a translator to communicate, and to put it bluntly, I was going to ask for accounts. At that time, the Americans coaxed me for two days, took me to Las Vegas to play, and put me under house arrest in a casino for a month. This American company is a liar company, and I can only verbally promise to cooperate and be willing to go along with them, so I can regain my freedom. ”
"And then?" said Song Weiyang with a smile.
Ma Xiaoyun said: "I asked them to book me a ticket back to China, and they asked me to go directly to the airport, and I could get the ticket by telling the people at the ticket office that I was Jack Ma." As a result, I was deceived again, I only had 25 cents on me, I was in a foreign country, I had no relatives, and my visa was about to expire. I stood alone in the airport hall, looking at the crowd coming and going, it was really a call for the sky to be unacceptable, and the ground to be ineffective. ”
The more Hong Weiguo listened to it, the more curious he became, and he couldn't help asking, "Then how did you return to China?"
Ma Xiaoyun smiled: "Haha, there are slot machines at the airport, and 25 cents can be bet 25 times." I didn't hit 24 times until I won $600 for the last 1 cent! So I bought a plane ticket to Seattle and stayed at the son-in-law of my foreign teacher colleague when I was a teacher. The other party is engaged in the Internet, and I also came into contact with the Internet for the first time at his home, and after returning to China, I founded China Yellow Pages. ”
"You're so lucky!" Hong Weiguo was amazed.
Ma Xiaoyun said: "Since that time, I have experienced what it means to be endless. Moreover, crises and crises coexist, dangers and opportunities coexist, and there will be blessings after the catastrophe. What is this frustration now? I'm sure I'll be able to make a name for myself in the future!"
Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Then I wish you good luck." ”
Ma Xiaoyun pointed at Song Weiyang and said with a smile: "Old Song, you are a true friend." ”
Song Weiyang said: "You are really awesome, why don't you choose Sohu?"
"Sohu is not for me. Ma Xiaoyun said.
Ma Xiaoyun's year in the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation cannot be said to be a waste of time, and his talent has shocked countless people.
Last year, Yahoo founder Yang Zhiyuan came to China for three days, accompanied by Ma Xiaoyun. Three days later, Yang Zhiyuan was fooled and said to Ma Xiaoyun: "Yahoo wants to enter the Chinese market, you should be the president of Yahoo China!"
Also last year, Zhang Chaoyang brought his friend Gu Yongqiang (founder of Youku) into Sohu as vice president and chief financial officer. Gu Yongqiang took office and immediately began to recruit talents, but the headhunting company fooled Ma Xiaoyun into going for an interview. The two chatted in a daze, and after drinking a cup of coffee, Gu Yongqiang said to Ma Xiaoyun: "As long as you enter Sohu Company, I will let you serve as the chief operating officer." ”
Song Weiyang and Zhang Chaoyang only learned afterwards that Gu Yongqiang actually invited Ma Xiaoyun to Sohu as the chief operating officer, and they couldn't laugh or cry when they chatted at that time.
So don't look at Ma Xiaoyun who seems to be very frustrated now, even if he doesn't work in the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, he can go to Yahoo China to be the president, or to Sohu to be the chief operating officer.
It's just that during the year Ma Xiaoyun stayed at the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, he was fed up with being criticized. Since then, he has believed in Che Guevara's theory: it is impossible to work part-time, it is impossible to work for others in his life, and only being his own boss is the right choice.
Ma Xiaoyun extinguished the cigarette butt and said in a very serious tone: "Old Song, I am confident that the new company will become bigger." How much money are you going to invest and how many shares are you going to have?"
Song Weiyang smiled: "I will give you as much as you want." Shares, you just look at it. ”
"Give me 1 million first, and I will share 10% of your equity," Ma Xiaoyun emphasized, "You will not suffer a loss in this investment." ”
is really domineering, the money of himself and his subordinates adds up to only 500,000 yuan. Now let Song Weiyang invest 1 million, but only give 10% of the shares, and said that Song Weiyang will not suffer losses.
Ma Xiaoyun, who cried while drinking, is not the real Ma Xiaoyun, this is the one in front of him!
Historically, Ma Xiaoyun said that 500,000 could support for ten months, but in fact, it only lasted for seven months before bottoming out. The first investor who took the initiative to come to the door promised to invest $1 million, but was flatly rejected by the exhausted Ma Xiaoyun because the other party asked for too many shares. Since then, Ma Xiaoyun has rejected more than 30 investors in a row, even if he has no money, he will not sell his company's shares cheaply, he firmly believes that his company is more than that value.
Ma Xiaoyun later said that he was not interested in money, but there was actually a basis.
Before founding China Yellow Pages, Ma Xiaoyun and some teachers founded a translation agency, which was the largest and most famous translation agency in Linzhou from the beginning of its establishment to 20 years later. However, when Ma Xiaoyun left, he directly gave the translation agency to a few colleagues, and he didn't ask for a penny of the shares he held.
And when Ma Xiaoyun left the China Yellow Pages, he still had some shares left to cash out, and all these shares were given to his subordinates who were unwilling to leave the China Yellow Pages free of charge.
Only Ma Xiaoyun gave to his colleagues and his translation agency and China Yellow Pages shares, which were worth at least millions of yuan at this time.
Therefore, Ma Xiaoyun's popularity is very good, and those who are familiar with him know that he will not suffer if he mixes with Jack.
When this guy was in college, he was not only the president of the student union of the school, but also the chairman of the Linzhou City Student Federation, and almost the entire student cadres of Linzhou City knew him. This was very terrifying at the time, some of those student cadres were engaged in politics and some were in business, and then all of them became Ma Xiaoyun's personal connections.
At that time, a rural student in the school was canceled from his graduate school entrance examination because he made a mistake, and he could not be assigned a job, so he had to go back to his hometown to work as a farmer. After Ma Xiaoyun found out, as the president of the student union, he lobbied many school leaders and finally allowed this student to be admitted to graduate school. This student was not familiar with Ma Xiaoyun, and the two also broke off contact, and when they met again ten years later, they reciprocated to Ma Xiaoyun and became one of Ma Xiaoyun's nobles.
Besides, Linzhou Telecom, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and the People's X Newspaper have all suffered a lot of losses, but the accumulated contacts are simply not too deep!
Ma Xiaoyun even has connections in the obligation, he worked part-time for three years to support the translation agency, and many of the hawkers he came into contact with made a fortune.
Even if Ma Xiaoyun doesn't start Alibaba, he can easily become the general manager of any private Chinese company, and these connections can be turned into business opportunities and profits.
Song Weiyang said with a smile: "With an investment of 1 million and 10% of the shares, I have made a lot of money." ”
"I hope you earn more," Ma Xiaoyun said with a smile, "The more you earn, the better my company will develop." ”
