Under the drizzle, Hu Yiting felt that this kind of early morning light rain was no big deal, and insisted on continuing to walk, so Ma Yun took Hu Yiting to Zhiweiguan on Dongpo Road, which is located on the east bank of the West Lake, and according to him, it is one of the most authentic Hangzhou breakfast restaurants.

"Although some stores may taste better than here, the grade cannot be higher than here, after all, Zhiweiguan is a time-honored brand. Ma Yun stood at the door of the store, patting the raindrops on his clothes.

Ji Yingying patted the door of the store, looked in again, and muttered, "There are people inside, why don't you open the door?"

Ma Yun said: "It's probably still a little early, wait a while, and it will be open at half past six." ”

Ji Yingying saw that Hu Yiting was a little impatient, and looked at her watch for another hour, so she slapped the door even harder.

After being slapped by Ji Yingying, the door of the store finally opened early, and a middle-aged fat man with greasy hair in a white catering uniform said angrily in the local dialect: "What are you doing? ”

Ma Yun hurriedly explained in the local dialect, hoping that the other party would let everyone go in and sit and wait first, but the fat man insisted that the business hours had not arrived, and even if he wanted to go in, he would have to wait for the door to open at six o'clock, and he could eat at half past six.

"Did you bring any money?" Hu Yiting said to Ji Yingying.

Ji Yingying immediately understood, took out a stack of 10,000 yuan tied together from her bag, and Hu Yiting casually wiped two and slapped them in the fat man's arms: "Let's rest in the store for a while, it's raining outside, are Hangzhou people just hospitable like this?"

The fat man held two hundred-yuan bills and immediately changed his smile: "Then come in and sit casually." ”

Ji Yingying chose a window position inside, took out a napkin from her bag and wiped it vigorously, then let Hu Yiting sit down, and then instructed the fat man: "Let's make a pot of tea." ”

The fat man frowned, wanting to say that the store doesn't sell tea, but he touched the two big bills that had just been hot in his trouser pocket, and nodded again and again: "Okay." ”

At this time, a leader-like person came down from upstairs and called the fat man to ask questions, and Hu Yiting vaguely heard the fat man call him manager.

Hu Yiting beckoned to the manager to come over, took another two hundred yuan and handed it to him: "Ask the kitchen to get us some food first, your special." ”

The manager was stunned when he saw this, but he had to smile and nod for the sake of two hundred yuan.

Ma Yun saw Hu Yiting's posture of using money to open the way, and felt that his boss was energetic, so he hurriedly said to the manager: "I'm sorry for you." ”

After speaking, he asked Hu Yiting what he was eating, and Hu Yiting listened to Ma Yun's introduction that the local noodle soup was very distinctive, so he asked for a bowl of Pian Erchuan.

Ma Yun looked at Ji Yingying, and Ji Yingying said, "Me too." ”

Ma Yunxin said that in the blink of an eye, four hundred yuan went out, and one of you would eat 10,000 slices of Erchuan, and hurriedly said to the manager: "Another bowl of shrimp and eel noodles, and some snacks such as strip cakes and coconut balls." ”

For the sake of money, the manager didn't bother much, and went straight to the back kitchen to order someone to fire.

Hu Yiting said to Ma Yun with a serious expression: "If you can spend money and save time, you have to spend money." ”

Ma Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu is a very good man, and he must not have suffered hardships." ”

Hu Yiting waved his hand: "When I was in school, I relied on my buddies for breakfast, so I didn't have any money, but I was very happy at that time, and I didn't have so many worries, so I spend as much money as possible whenever I can use money to avoid trouble." ”

Ma Yun is not wide yet, so naturally he can't fully understand Hu Yiting, so he only smiled and nodded: "Mr. Hu is very bold, which is very similar to us people in Zhejiang Province, we have a lot of bosses here, and they are all spenders of money after getting rich." ”

Hu Yiting: "I am willing to exchange money for time, but I may not be willing to exchange it for other things." ”

Ma Yun pondered Hu Yiting's words, and hurriedly said: "I understand what Mr. Hu means, I must hurry up." ”

Hu Yiting saw that Ma Yun understood what he meant, and said to Ji Yingying with a smile: "Ma is always talented, and he understands it as soon as I say it." ”

Saying that, Hu Yiting handed over the rest of the money to Ji Yingying, "Go to the kitchen and send it to the masters, let them hurry up, and then ask someone to go outside to buy a few morning newspapers." ”

Ji Yingying saw that Hu Yiting was doing this today, and guessed that he deliberately showed it to Ma Yun, so she hurriedly went to the back kitchen and gave one to each of the chefs who were busy cooking noodles and fried toppings, and called a waiter to buy a bag, and also gave him one.

Ji Yingying's magnanimity made Zhiweiguan a little sensational, everyone looked at it, and wanted to know what kind of boss was coming, so arrogant, this kind of thing had never happened before, and today was the first time.

At this time, the fat man who opened the door before brought three teacups down from the upstairs office with a tray, put the tray on the table with one hand, and filled it with a hot water bottle with the other, and the tea leaves in the cups were tumbling to dye the hot water green.

Ma Yun looked at the broken tea leaves floating on the glass and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Hu, this Longjing is too ordinary, I'll take you to the local tea farm to go around and buy some authentic ones to drink." ”

Hu Yiting blew on the teacup, nodded with a smile: "Okay, then Mr. Ma will take us for a walk, in fact, I don't know tea, just drink to quench our thirst." ”

The three of them chatted, and the back kitchen had already used a small stove to drive out the noodle soup, and when it was served, Hu Yiting moved his index finger when he saw it, stopped talking, and felt comfortable after eating in one go.

After eating noodles, Hu Yiting began to explain his thoughts to Ma Yun: "Chongguang's e-commerce project has been carried out in Fuzhou for a period of time, but this time with you joining, I plan to start again, with you as the mainstay, to establish a new company, the company name is Alibaba e-commerce company, what do you think?"

Ma Yun blinked: "Alibaba?"

On the one hand, Hu Yiting was too lazy to change his name, and on the other hand, he was a little superstitious, so he insisted: "I think this name is very in line with the temperament of your entrepreneurs, isn't there a song? Ali, Alibaba, Alibaba is a happy young ......."

Ma Yun couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Hu, you actually know this song, this is an old song that was popular when I used to go to school, well, I think this name is very good, our company is all young people, I hope everyone will always maintain this happy mentality." ”

Hu Yiting: "So the new website is called Alibaba." ”

Ma Yun: "Yes, just use this, hehehe." ”

Hu Yiting: "But I suggest that in addition to the salary level you enjoy in this company, the salary level of other people should be determined according to your actual business situation, and you can't copy Chongguang's salary structure across the board." ”

Ma Yun nodded heavily: "It should be like this, it should be like this, otherwise I also think the operating cost is too high." ”

Hu Yiting explained to him: "After all, you are not a R&D enterprise, and you are not profitable, even if you make a profit in a few years, there is not much foreseeable profit in the short term, so the salary is too high and is not conducive to the initial expansion of the enterprise." ”

Ma Yun agreed with Hu Yiting's suggestion: "That's true, just now I have been worried that if the salary structure of the head office is comparable to that of a large multinational company, it will be too expensive." ”

Hu Yiting: "Yes, a pay, a gain, the head office is based on research and development as the soul, and the employees are basically technical talents in professional fields, and there is no analogy between your team that regards market operation as the soul, so it is impossible to copy." ”

Ma Yun nodded in agreement: "I'm relieved, our company's general education is not as good as the head office, and sales-oriented, Mr. Hu You know that this piece is not about stable wages, but about sharing money according to grades and living on commissions." Once the salary is high, I am afraid that everyone will become inert, will not be able to run, and will be lazy. ”

Hu Yiting saw that Ma Yun understood, and said with satisfaction: "It's good that you know, in short, I completely trust you in the operation of Alibaba, you are the absolute authority of the leader, and the salary structure is determined by you." ”

Ma Yun was surprised: "Doesn't the head office send some people to support us?"

Hu Yiting said bluntly: "I will send a financial director to serve as the managing director, responsible for the company's capital supervision, to prevent accidents, and in addition, there are heavy light software and the Central Research Institute to support you." In short, you are the main operator in operation, you are the commander-in-chief, just let it go. ”

Ma Yun was surprised and nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Hu, for your trust." ”

Hu Yiting finally suggested with a smile: "You can start recruiting, and from now on, you are a member of the board of directors of Chongguang Group, and you are welcome to join." ”

The two clasped hands tightly, Ma Yun was very happy in his heart, feeling that this night had changed his life step by step, and a timely rain brought him from the world to heaven.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?"

It wasn't until 20 years later that when Ma Yun recalled this incident in front of the media, he still insisted that he had an incredible feeling at that time, and he couldn't understand why Hu Yiting valued himself so much......
