394 [Confucian Merchants in Cloth Shoes]

There are a total of 13 subordinates who went to Beijing with Ma Xiaoyun, and a group of them have returned more than half a month ago, led by his wife, to do some preparatory work for starting a business.

Lao Ma returned to Linzhou to start a business, definitely not hot-headed, and even the name "Alibaba", he thought about it at the end of last year. Originally, he wanted to name the company "Double Click", but suddenly revisited the story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves, and suddenly realized that his spirit of wealth was exactly what he wanted.

Because Alibaba's web domain name has been preemptively registered by a Canadian. Ma Xiaoyun, who only has 500,000 yuan in start-up capital, even spent $10,000 to buy a domain name, and that domain name alone used nearly a quarter of his funds.

Fortunately, the company does not need to rent an office, and Lao Ma's house near West Lake is 200 square meters - when he was a teacher, he borrowed money to buy a small house. Later, when I couldn't live enough, I sold the house and borrowed money to buy a larger one, and the house price has more than tripled in a few years.

"You're not in a hurry to go back?" said Song Weiyang with a smile.

Ma Xiaoyun said: "I have my wife at home, and she is responsible for buying a desk, a computer or something. In a few days, there is an 'Asia E-Commerce Conference' in Singapore, and I am going to fly directly to Singapore, do you want to go and see it?"

Song Weiyang said: "You didn't invite me again, what am I going to do?"

"Go and join in the fun, didn't I accompany you to CCTV this time?" Ma Xiaoyun said with a smile.

"Moving China" is about to start recording, Fan Xinman notified the exact time on the phone, she learned that Ma Xiaoyun had not left Beijing, so she invited Lao Ma to the recording site as a guest audience.

The program was recorded and broadcast at the Beijing Grand Theater, and I heard that more than 20 well-known writers were invited.

The weather in the capital is cold, and it is snowing these days.

Song Weiyang went out in a bloated down jacket, walking like an emperor penguin, not at all as chic as an old horse in a suit.

The two walked into the theater, there was heating inside, and it was suddenly much warmer, and Song Weiyang hurriedly took off his down jacket.

It just so happened that a pair of young men and women also walked into the door, and the female Song Weiyang was quite familiar. When the bearded version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is broadcast, the people of the whole country will know it, Holy Aunt, Xu Da Beauty.

The young man with a beautiful woman in his arms, Si Swenwen, wore a pair of half-rimmed glasses. He took off his thick coat and suddenly became extremely eye-catching—a green cloth coat on his upper body, straight green cloth pants on his lower body, and a pair of old cloth shoes on his feet.

If you carry another birdcage and hold a pair of walnuts, you can go directly to the park for a walk.

Song Weiyang thought to himself: Lao Tzu is trendy enough to wear casual clothes, you go out directly in short coats and cloth shoes, why can you pretend to be forced than me?

Hanging the down jacket he took off on his arm, Song Weiyang asked, "Old Ma, who is this person?" ”

Ma Xiaoyun said with a smile: "Liu Bo, the boss of Chengcheng Culture, is quite famous in the capital. When he met people, he said that he was a student of Ji Xianlin, and he wore a cardigan all year round, and he would never wear leather shoes if he could wear cloth shoes. He chartered a courtyard house in the capital, which was the former residence of the warlord Zhang Zuolin, and feasted guests in the courtyard every three or five days. ”

Song Weiyang laughed: "Yo, contemporary celebrities." ”

"Celebrities are recognized in Beijing's business circles and cultural circles," Ma Xiaoyun said, "and he is still a prodigy, studying at the age of 14 to go to university, graduating with a master's degree at the age of 18, and then studying under Ji Xianlin, a serious doctor of philosophy from Peking University." ”

Song Weiyang said: "I remember, the 'new Confucian businessman' touted in the newspaper is him, right?"

"Yes, contemporary Confucian merchants. Ma Xiaoyun said.

"Have you been in contact with it?" asked Song Weiyang.

Ma Xiaoyun said: "I have been in contact, and I have also gone to his courtyard with my friends to eat. The banquet is particularly high-style, often held at night, accompanied by beautiful women in ancient costumes, silk and bamboo, and the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks are all retro style. I often drink and chat until the middle of the night, full of friends, talking about literature, philosophy, movies, music, etc. ”

Song Weiyang asked, "Then what does he rely on to make money?"

Ma Xiaoyun said with a smile: "Do whatever you want to make money." A dignified doctor from Peking University, he used to resell fox stinky ointment, and also engaged in health care products, and he also had his share in Qiongdao land speculation back then. Recently, he has been selling books, and Ji Xianlin's "Hand-to-hand Collection", a national key book project in the Eighth Five-Year Plan, is known as the largest ancient book sorting project in the past 200 years following the "Siku Quanshu". ”

"This book is quite expensive, isn't it?" asked Song Weiyang.

Ma Xiaoyun said: "Sixty-eighty-one sets, I can't afford it anyway." ”

Song Weiyang said: "Subscription by government agencies?"

Ma Xiaoyun said: "Some large libraries will buy it, but he has printed tens of thousands of sets, and he doesn't worry about selling them, guess how he operates?"

"How does it work?" Song Weiyang really didn't know.

"The compilation of this set of books is a national project, and he is only an underwriter," Ma Xiaoyun said, "He doesn't want a penny of underwriting fees, and all of them are transferred to the China Construction Bank, and the book-bound person goes directly to the bank to pay the money, and there are Ping An Insurance and Pacific Insurance as guarantees." By the way, his company has been listed on the backdoor, do you understand what that means?"

"Awesome!" Song Weiyang sighed sincerely.

It's a routine—

First of all, Liu Bo took advantage of his teacher-student relationship with Ji Xianlin to underwrite books on national key cultural projects. Then, he used his relationship with the bank to pull the national project and Ji Xianlin's banner as a tiger skin, fooled the bank's senior leaders, transferred the underwriting profits to the bank, let the bank be responsible for collecting the money, and asked the insurance company to make a guarantee. Then, use national projects, Ji Xianlin, China Construction Bank and insurance companies to hype up and enhance social credibility!

The bank will definitely not give money first, but it can rely on internal relationships to do a good job. Even if a set of books is not sold, more than 600 million funds have been added to the company's books, but these funds cannot be cashed out for the time being.

The rest is constant hype, and it is a national project, a master of the Republic of China, and the participation of construction banks and insurance companies. Shareholders have to believe it if they don't believe it, and wait for the mid-year financial report of more than 600 million revenue next summer to ensure that his company's stock price rolls on the Internet.

Hundreds of millions of funds naturally cannot be created out of nothing, and even a lot of money has to be posted into the intermediate links, the purpose is to circle money from shareholders.

This kind of trick can only last for a while, and if you can't make money in other projects, when the stock market is turbulent, the person is basically finished.

A few years later, Liu Bo owed more than 4 billion yuan, absconded to Japan, and finally died in a foreign country.

Ji Xianlin, a dignified master of Chinese studies, has become a cover for his students to make money, which is sad and lamentable.

It's a pity that Liu Bo graduated with a master's degree at the age of 18, and his doctoral supervisor is still Ji Xianlin. obviously has a great future, and if he goes to politics, he will definitely become a big official, but he has to engage in those crooked ways to make money.

"Oh, isn't this Boss Song?" Liu Bo stepped on cloth shoes, hugged Xu Da Beauty, and shook hands with Song Weiyang warmly.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Boss Liu, hello." ”

"Haha, don't call me boss, this is a philistine, I'm just a sour man in the mall. Liu Bo laughed and said.

"Wherever, you are a contemporary Confucian merchant. Song Weiyang said.

Liu Bo said with a smile: "I heard that Boss Song can't let go of the scroll and likes to read." Coincidentally, my company has a set of "Inherited Books", edited by Mr. Ji Xianlin and some masters of Chinese culture, with a complete set of nearly 300 million words. If Boss Song likes it, I'll immediately ask someone to send a set. It's given away for free, and talking about money hurts feelings. As the so-called red powder is given to the beauty, and the sword is given to the martyr, this collection of books can be given to Boss Song. ”

"Forget it, with a collection of nearly 300 million words, I will never finish reading it in my life. Song Weiyang said.

There is no free lunch in the world, and once Song Weiyang accepts the gift, he will definitely become the target of Liu Bo's speculation and become an accomplice to this person's circle of money in the stock market.
