Chapter 616: Heaven City and His Trip
1. Paradise City, Chengxi High-tech Industrial Zone, No. 99 Huaxing Road, Chuangye Building.
Several founders and executives of Ali led by Jack Ma walked out of the gate of the building quickly under the curious eyes of the Ali employees in the building.
Andy's convoy has driven into the canopy at the entrance of the Venture Building, the black glowing Maybach 62S stopped, and the two cars in front and behind quickly jumped off the four giant bodyguards led by Joseph, which made Jack Ma and his party slightly surprised and stunned.
The door of the back seat of the Maybach opened, and Li Xiaoying, who was wearing a short-sleeved long skirt in a black modified cheongsam, took the lead in getting out of the car, standing next to the car door with a faint smile, Andy's tall figure and young and handsome face appeared in front of everyone, which made everyone present sigh.
"Hello, Mr. Smith, I'm Jackma, and welcome to Ali. With a big smile, Jackma walked up and held out his hand to shake Andy's hand, who was also smiling.
"Hello Jack, you can call me Andy, it's a pleasure to meet you, it's an honor to be here with Ali, and I'm happy to have the privilege of witnessing the rise of a great company with you. Andy's smile was very bright, and the standard Mandarin made everyone sigh again, looking at Jack Ma, who was only 166 centimeters tall and not good-looking. His first impression was very deep, those eyes, very bright, exuding the light of wisdom, the eyes were smart, giving people a very alert feeling.
Andy's words made Ali people, including Jack Ma, feel more comfortable to listen to, looking at the handsome foreigner in front of him is more pleasing to the eye and kind, without the arrogance or arrogance they imagined, looking at people with nostrils, very cultivated, and can't help but sigh that he is worthy of being a child of an old family.
Then it was Jackma who smiled happily and introduced Andy to Ali's management team, and Andy shook hands with everyone with a charming smile.
"Andy, please inside." Jackma also didn't have too much politeness, but directly accepted Andy's proposal to call him by name. In the process of communicating with foreign tourists in West Lake, he not only learned the language, but also learned the foreign culture, so he will not feel strange and uncomfortable at all when dealing with foreigners.
"Thank you. Andy smiled and nodded, and walked into the entrepreneurial building side by side with Jack Ma, along the way, although every Ali employee was very curious about what big people came, and peeked a few times from time to time, none of them stopped or got together to discuss, they were very busy, very hurried, and the pace was very fast.
In the conference room, Andy has been smiling, listening to a very talkative, or rather talkative jack horse, he is very good at speaking, and he is also a speaker, in Andy's opinion, in addition to being an entrepreneur, a dreamer, he is also a speaker.
Talk about Ali's entrepreneurship, Ali's dream, Ali's model, the changes that Ali has brought to society, economy, and people, and Ali's prospects and future...
It's endless, it's fascinating, and the point of view is very novel and ahead of its time at the moment, but in Andy's demonic view, many of them are just Jackma's dreams now, in Jackma's words, dreams still have to be had, what if they come true?
Whether others believe in his dream or not, he will use his innate self-confidence and his eloquence to convince others that this dream may be possible, which is very infectious.
Andy couldn't help but think of a comment about Jack Ma, "He sells dreams, but he's a doer." So you have a dream, he has money. ”
Ali's people in the conference room secretly looked at the young Andy Smith from time to time, and they naturally knew Jackma very well about themselves, but when they saw Andy Smith, a foreigner, they didn't have a trace of impatience, but they heard it very seriously, with a smile on their faces from beginning to end, he was really an elegant nobleman, and he didn't show the slightest look of confusion about some of Jackma's quoted Chinese, and everyone didn't think that Andy didn't know how to pretend to understand and pretend to be calm.
"HY?Andy, why, did we decide to join before Ali went public, you know, many foreign institutions are very optimistic about us, and even equate us with a synonym for counterfeit and shoddy goods, aren't you worried that the investment will fail?" Jackma's sudden question made everyone's eyes focus on Andy.
Andy knew that this was Jackma wanting to weigh himself, which seemed very rude, but he didn't care, just smiled and said: "Customer, Ali's attention to customer service is the main reason why I decided to invest, and it is also an important factor that I think Ali can defeat the strong with the weak and defeat it in the battle with Ebay."
Ebay's resources are much larger than Alibaba's, but Ebay's style of play is the idea of an American academic MBA, and as an MBA-born undergraduate, Ebay's every move can be accurately predicted.
Of course, the most important thing is that a certain treasure is free for three years, and then three years and three years for free. Such a strategy directly hits Ebay's seven tricks, Ebay is impossible to announce free, if it does, Ebay's stock price will plummet.
And the strategy of a certain treasure is actually in line with the needs of users in the rabbit country. Rabbit users are completely different from American users, American users on Ebay began to sell things in the basement of their homes online, while Rabbit users do not have these things at all, their needs are to buy all kinds of new things that they have not bought or seen on the Internet.
Therefore, Ebay is against direct contact with users, but a certain treasure encourages users to contact, and even encourages users to communicate through e-commerce through software such as Ali Wangwang.
Later, the launch of payment and other products was all because they met the needs of users! The so-called following the trend and following the trend of users made it unfavorable. “
Andy's Mandarin is full of words, adding a calm and calm speed of speech, and the key points of analysis and the perspective of the cut are very accurate and novel, so that Ali's executives and Jack Ma couldn't help but nod in agreement, and once again felt the power of the young man in front of him, people really don't invest casually, they really studied Ali, and decided to invest after falling in love with Ali company.
HOWEVER, ONLY JACK MA LOOKED AT ANDY WITH A LITTLE COMPLICATED GAZE, BUT HE BECAME WARY OF THE YOUNG AND UNSPEAKABLE INDIVIDUAL LARGEST SHAREHOLDER IN FRONT OF HIM, THE MORE JING THE SHAREHOLDER, THE MORE DIFFICULT IT IS TO BE PERFUNCTORY, AND SOME OF HIS NEXT LAYOUTS MAY NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL.
In the same way, Andy has never reassured Jackma, nor has he ever planned to make friends with him, because even if he has made friends with him, when he really needs to compete for interests, Jackma will not hesitate to choose interests, so don't make those false ones, or this kind of interest relationship between investors and investors is simpler, and when Jackma is ready to damage the interests of shareholders, he can react directly.
To be honest, Ali's future money situation is too tempting, but Andy has always been vigilant about Jack Ma's character.
There is no doubt that Jackma has promoted the rapid development of e-commerce and related industries in the rabbit country, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the standard-bearer of the industry. However, on the eve of becoming the richest man in the rabbit country, the seriously overdrawn integrity account did not make him a convincing hero of the Quartet. Many people believe that when integrity is needed, in the face of the overwhelming high-imitation shoes on the international station, Jack Ma mercilessly took off the Ali CEO top on Wei Zhe's head and blocked all IPs and customers in the region; When it was necessary to obtain the first batch of third-party payment licenses, Jack Ma offered the supremacy of law and security, and the black-box operation harmed the interests of shareholders, and the spirit of the contract got out; When Ali became the most powerful e-commerce empire in the world, Jack Ma rudely broke the banner of "free"; As for promises such as not establishing their own logistics, in Jackma's repeated backsliding, people can only "hehe".
Andy remembers a classic quote from Jack Ma that may sum up why he was able to make the most damning decisions, "When you succeed, everything you say is the truth."
Everyone's communication is very pleasant, at least it seems that everyone is very satisfied, as for what they think in their hearts, only one person knows, the next thing is to visit Ali, to be honest, Andy is very interested in Ali's internal operation, so it turned around, and it was already noon.
"The wind and moon on the first floor should be drunk, and the ten miles of lakes and mountains are drunk. Andy stood at the door of the outer building of the famous restaurant in West Lake, softly reading the couplets on both sides.
"The building outside the building is like a pearl inlaid in the mountains and waters, shining brightly. It has been here for 166 years. Jack Ma smiled and introduced to Andy, who was reading the couplet, "Let's go, I know that you are a gourmet, and I have prepared a lot of delicacies for you today, and you will definitely like it." “
"West Lake vinegar fish... Andy asked with a smile.
"Of course, this is the most famous signature dish, Song Sister-in-law fish soup, honey sauce fire recipe, Longjing shrimp, Dongpo stewed pork, called chicken, dry fried bell... The same will not be less, only here is the most authentic, this carving is "Dongpo Jun Lake Map", which truly and vividly records and reflects the historical story of Su Dongpo leading the people to build the Su Causeway and six bridges in the West Lake more than 900 years ago. Jack Ma and Andy were side-by-side, while smiling and introducing the dishes to Andy, and at the same time did not forget to point to the JING beautiful carving in the corridor to explain.
Lunch Andy ate very happy, perhaps because the person who invited him was Jack Ma, all the delicacies of this meal outside the building were very delicious, after eating the perfect delicacies, under the guidance of Jack Ma, he came to a tea house on the edge of the West Lake, lakeside residence, found a window near the lake, looked at the lake like a mirror, the guzheng leisurely, and admired the beautiful tea master in ancient costume wearing white Suzhou embroidery showing exquisite curves while doing tea art performances, while explaining some professional knowledge.
Looking at the four tea mats with rabbit characteristics on the table in turn: blue and white, purple sand, celadon, and color glaze. ADMIRING THE JING ZHAN TEA ART OF A TYPICAL GENTLE WOMAN IN THE SOUTH OF THE JIANGNAN, SHE SPEAKS GLUTINOUSLY AND SOFTLY.
Warm cup sanitary ware, tea, soak and shake incense, brew, soup......
The color glaze cover bowl is used, and the soak is the West Lake Longjing.
"Water draws borneol fluid, tea cooks spring. Because of it, it is drunk and fun. Andy took a sip of Longjing, couldn't help sighing, and casually recited a song "Longjing Tea Trial" by Tong Hanchen in the Ming Dynasty.
"Hmm, why are you looking at me like this, is there any problem?" Andy put down the tea bowl, with an unfinished expression, and looked up to see that everyone, including the beautiful tea master, were looking at him with wide eyes, and couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Mr. Smith, you are a real Huaxia expert, and the poems are at your fingertips, which makes us people a little embarrassed. An Ali executive who accompanied him shook his head with a wry smile and exclaimed.
"Hehe, you should feel that a foreigner not only speaks Mandarin very slippery, but also can recite ancient poems, with my face, it's very disobedient, right?"
"Haha... “
Andy's joke made the entire teahouse laugh involuntarily.
