Thanks to Mavi, according to his Russian identity, he pretended not to understand, otherwise the atmosphere would have been embarrassing. It's not good that the female manager will be deducted from the performance bonus because of this slip of the tongue.

"Ahem, Mr. Ma Wei, the restaurant manager asked you, can you serve the food now?" The female translator present was really not easy to fill in the hole of "Mr. Ma".

"Yes, let's serve. Ma Wei's stomach was also a little hungry. He is kind-hearted and will not deliberately care about these small mistakes. After all, it's not easy for people to go to work, and they have to be forgiving and forgiving.

With the departure of the female manager and a whole row of welcome ladies, in the elegant private room, there were only four people left, Ma Wei, Jennifer, Boss Ma, Qiu Yangping, as well as a number of black-clothed bodyguards, as well as the palace maid in charge of service.

After this contact, Boss Ma and Qiu Yangping already didn't know how to answer. After all, at the moment, the two sides are not at the same level at all. Even the Manchu and Han banquets in this Tingpeng Pavilion were eaten all!

To sum it up in a phrase from a netizen, "This forces me to go out and blow for a year! Oh, no! It's three years!"

Seeing the atmosphere in the room, it gradually quieted down, Ma Wei casually asked the two, "Boss Ma, what is the current income of your company since it was founded for more than a year? What is the website traffic and average daily trading volume?"

The question asked by Ma Wei casually was difficult for Boss Ma and Qiu Yangping to answer. Because if you want to be honest, Alibaba's trading volume in the past year has been almost zero. They only persuaded the merchant to spend money to register a shop on their website.

However, buyers are less receptive to this kind of B2B transaction online. I prefer offline transactions, the kind that pays money in one hand and delivers in the other.

The B2B operation model refers to a mode of transaction between enterprises and between merchants through the Internet. It is very different from Taobao and Tmall's B2C and C2C, and many corporate buyers prefer traditional trading models.

"Well, Mr. Ma Wei, because the Internet in our country has just started, and it has not yet been widely recognized. So Alibaba's orders this year, I honestly have less than ten. Only those merchants are still supporting us as always. Boss Ma said to Ma Wei very frankly.

He is a businessman, but he is not the kind of unscrupulous businessman who is mercenary, cheating and cheating. I remember that in the first three months, because Alibaba really had no buyers willing to trade, merchants also complained frequently about this.

Then Boss Ma decided to return the store rental fee paid by the merchant to them. This candid gesture made the merchant feel that he could be trusted. So instead, he came to support him and comforted him, saying that the money could be returned without hurry, and that it would be okay to wait......

I have to say that the people of 2000 are very cute and very simple. If it is changed to 2019, then there is nothing to say, and the companies that dare to return the money are fools. Users who don't take money and support it in turn are also fools.

Bicycle sharing is a good example! A certain author was bewitched by ghosts and recharged 100 yuan, but the money has not come back yet!

Ma Wei listened patiently, according to the memory of his previous life, Alibaba was indeed very difficult at the beginning of its business. But I didn't expect it to be difficult to achieve this level, "less than ten orders a year..."

He subconsciously repeated this sentence. However, the speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, and I saw Boss Ma and Qiu Yangping, who were sitting in front of them, looking at each other with embarrassed expressions.

It can be seen from their eyes that the two know that there is a world of difference between Alibaba and Amazon, which Ma Wei invested. Whether it is the Internet environment, or the development of e-commerce platforms, or the audience, Amazon is much more mature.

Boss Ma saw Ma Wei's thoughtful expression, worried that this negotiation would be in vain like the previous times.

So he hurriedly added, "This...... Mr. Ma Wei, that's right, we at Alibaba, this is just getting started! So, you don't need to invest a lot of money at the beginning...... Our Chinese market has unlimited business opportunities in the future, maybe you can make a small investment to test the waters. I believe that in less than two years, we will ...... Alibaba"

Boss Ma is a very eloquent person. He doesn't expect Ma Wei to spend $30 or 50 million like investing in Amazon. If Ma Weiken invests five million, then he is already very content.

However, just as he was babbling, trying to persuade Ma Wei to invest. I saw Ma Wei take a sip of the "Yanghe Spring Green" soaked by the palace maid, and then said to Ma Yun lightly, "Boss Ma, you don't need to say anything more." In this way, I will invest 50 million in you. ”

As soon as the loud words fell, I saw Boss Ma and Qiu Yangping sitting in front of me, and I was stunned for a moment! I didn't even have time to close my mouth!

"Five... Fifty million!?"

"Dollars?"

I'm really not afraid of jokes when I say it, in this life, at this point in time, Boss Ma doesn't even know what it looks like for $5 million. So when Ma Wei said 50 million US dollars, Boss Ma's hands under the tablecloth couldn't help but tremble!

If he hadn't known in advance that Ma Wei had invested in Amazon, he would have thought that Ma Wei was joking at this moment. Is this an investment! Or is it a grocery purchase! 50 million, without even blinking an eye, just ......

"Well, dollars. Ma Wei said calmly.

According to the memories of his previous life, SoftBank Group wanted to invest $40 million in Alibaba. But in the end, Boss Ma only needed 20 million. Because if you invest too much, you will have less stake in Alibaba.

So Boss Ma was excited, thought about it, and finally said to Ma Wei with a very sincere expression and tone, "Mr. Ma Wei! Thank you, thank you very much for your support to me and Alibaba! Do you think this is okay? 50 million US dollars, I think we only need 50% of the investment, that is, 25 million US dollars." ”

Those present are smart people, and there is a reason for any decision. Ma Wei also expected that the other party would speak like this. After all, Alibaba has just started, and no one can afford to spend $50 million at once! It is very different from the situation when it invested in Amazon.

"Yes. Ma Wei nodded happily. The business he went out to talk about was just a vote. There is no need to talk about the details inside and out, inside and out, every corner and corner.

Anyway, the rest of the matter can be left to the subordinates to discuss. For example, the shareholding ratio, the restriction on the issuance of original shares and many other details, there is no need for Ma Wei to talk about it, so it will be too tiring.
