A hotel in China.

"Mr. Ma, we have all gone to more than 20 banks, and none of them are willing to give us loans! Even if the employees don't get paid, we won't be able to last two months!"

On the couch against the wall sat a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a strange appearance. He is Ma Yun from Hangzhou Taobao, he heard this, frowned, and said slowly: "It seems that the bank's road is not working, we can only find another way!"

"Mr. Ma, what can you do?" the man continued. He is an employee of Jack Ma, named Tsai Chongxin, who looks young and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and holds the position of CFO. This person originally worked for a German investment company with an annual salary of more than $700,000. turned out to be persuaded by Ma Yun's three-inch incorruptible tongue, and he actually came all the way to join Ma Yun, only taking a salary of 500 yuan a month to help Ma Yun register a company. His arrival made the company truly standardized.

Ma Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Let's try it tomorrow at Lenovo!"

"Lenovo?" Cai Chongxin nodded and said, "Lenovo's performance is good, they should be very rich......

……

The next day, Jack Ma and Tsai Chongxin came to Lenovo.

After being reported by the front desk lady, Liu Chuanzhi, CEO of Lenovo, met with the two.

In the office, the three of them briefly introduced themselves.

Liu Chuanzhi stared at Ma Yun with interest and said with a smile: "You are Ma Yun who does China's Yellow Pages!"

"Yes, Mr. Liu. ”

"Haha, I've heard your name for a long time, the Chinese Yellow Pages are doing well!" Liu Chuanzhi said with a smile.

"Don't dare to be a ...... China's Yellow Pages are nothing compared to Lenovo!" Ma shook his head.

Liu Chuanzhi laughed twice and beckoned, "Please sit down, don't be restrained!" "Oh, Secretary Wang, give Mr. Ma and Mr. Cai two glasses of water!"

"Yes, Mr. Liu. A female secretary went to pour water.

At this time, Liu Chuanzhi sat on the chair, turned his head to look at Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin, and smiled: "You came to visit me this time, there must be something, right?"

"That's right, nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace. Ma Yun nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Liu, I created a company in Hangzhou." You know, in general, the biggest difficulty for startups is funding. So, when we came this time, we actually asked Lenovo to invest in us!"

Liu Chuanzhi pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the name of the company you founded, and what does it do?"

"Taobao, an e-commerce website!"

"E-commerce website?" Liu Chuanzhi was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Ma, the 8848 website is also doing e-commerce websites, and it is developing very well, I am afraid it is not easy for you to compete with it." In addition, foreign Nicholas international e-commerce companies have also entered the Chinese market, and the competition is very fierce!"

As soon as they heard this, Ma Yun and Tsai Chongxin suddenly beat a drum in their hearts, and Liu Chuanzhi was obviously not optimistic about Taobao. The two looked at each other, and Ma Yun said to Liu Chuanzhi at this time: "The competition is fierce, but this is China, and compared with Nicholas International E-commerce Company, we have more local advantages!"

"What about 8848, they are better developed than you!" Liu Chuanzhi said with a faint smile on his face.

Ma Yun said confidently: "Although they are better than us now, I believe that Taobao will definitely surpass 8848!"

Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but shake his head, it was clear that the 8848 website had become the representative of China's Internet e-commerce, while Taobao was unknown, but Ma Yun didn't take his opponent seriously in his words at all, and he was very arrogant! At that time, Liu Chuanzhi's impression of him immediately decreased.

"Mr. Ma, you came to Lenovo for financing this time?" Liu Chuanzhi said lightly.

"That's right, Mr. Liu!" Ma Yun nodded, and said in a confident tone, "If your company can invest in Taobao, I can guarantee that the future income will never make you regret it!"

Hearing Ma Yun's words, the corners of Liu Chuanzhi's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and he laughed: "Hehe, Mr. Ma, hearing you say this, investing in Taobao must be a very profitable investment." It's a pity that in recent years, Hongnian Technology Company has launched cheap computers, and Lenovo has been greatly affected, resulting in insufficient funds. So, at present, we don't have extra funds to invest in Taobao, I'm really embarrassed!"

When Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin heard this, their faces were not very good-looking, and they naturally heard Liu Chuanzhi's words, which were obviously prevaricating. The Chinese market is so big, even if Lenovo is affected by Hongnian Technology, it has made a lot of money. As China's largest computer manufacturer, how could it be that it had no money? Moreover, before its own side had even proposed a specific amount, the other party refused outright.

If you don't agree, you will leave!

Ma Yun is also quite arrogant in his heart, you are not willing to invest in me today, and I want you to regret it in the future!!

Ma Yun was the first to stand up from the stool, and Cai Chongxin immediately stood up when he saw him like this.

"Okay, Mr. Liu, if you bother more, let's leave!" Ma Yun said.

"What's the hurry, drink a glass of water and then go, the secretary just brought it." Liu Chuanzhi pointed to the female secretary who came and chuckled.

Ma Yun is in the mood to drink water, "Thank you, we are not thirsty......"

With that, Ma Yun and Tsai Chongxin walked out of Liu Chuanzhi's office quickly.

Not long after, Yang Yuanqing, vice president of Lenovo, walked in.

"Mr. Liu, what are they doing? When I just went out, my face was not very good......

Liu Chuanzhi smiled: "Hehe, that thin and ugly guy is called Ma Yun." They started an e-commerce company and wanted to get financing from Lenovo. ”

"Looks like you've rejected them!"

"Of course!" Liu Chuanzhi shook his head amusedly and said, "Hehe, this Ma Yun, I look like a liar, and he is very arrogant, empty-eyed, he doesn't take the 8848 website in his eyes at all, and he says that investing in Taobao will definitely make Lenovo a huge profit." I see, if you really invest in them, the money will be wasted!"

……

Lenovo doorway.

Jack Ma stopped and stopped.

"Mr. Ma, there is really no financing in China, we can contact foreign venture capital companies. I used to work in a German investment bank, so I have accumulated some contacts and know a lot of executives from international venture capital companies!" Tsai Chongxin sighed and said to Jack Ma.

Ma Yun was silent, and after half a sound, he said: "Well, after this trip to Beijing, if we still can't get investment, then we can only contact foreign venture capital companies......

"Hmm!" Cai Chongxin nodded in response.

"Let's go, let's go to NetEase and have a look. Companies like Lenovo are reluctant to invest in us because they are not Internet companies, so they don't understand the Internet and don't understand us. NetEase, as a well-known portal in China, may recognize us. ”

"Mr. Ma, are you planning to seek financing from NetEase?"

"Yes, that's right. ”
