Chapter 64: First meeting of Jack Ma

Seeing Ma Yun is actually a very accidental chance, originally Li Zhong went to Shanghai to participate in a real estate forum on behalf of the company, in fact, in this era, there is not as everyone imagined, big coffee gathered, major media are hot, just a simple discussion about China's real estate, nothing more than the country's several leaders of the housing and construction system, speaking on the stage, or encouraging everyone to support national construction when the motherland needs, accelerate real estate development, compared with the country after seven or eight years of vigorous regulation, now think about it feels really ironic。

Today's developers generally do not have much enthusiasm for this piece, except for those relatively large developers, with a perfect development model, behind the strong capital support, other developers are still making a small fuss, after all, it is not a real estate boom in the motherland that everyone imagined.

At present, the real estate market is not comparable to the stock market, but the development of small high-rise buildings, the second and third line of ordinary developers have been unbearable, not to mention that the later residences are high-rise, super high-rise, and then to the apartment houses.

The Hainan fever in the past few years has indeed made a group of people rich, and it has also made those who went late suffer a lot of losses. We are not so sensitive to the country's regulation and control, it is not easy to make some money now, we still do more industry, manufacturing, steel industry, trade, etc.

After participating in this forum, I wanted to go back early, but looking at the schedule, in another place in Shanghai, a lecture by the Entrepreneurship Association was being held, and I thought that I was also an entrepreneur, so I thought about going over and joining in the fun.

Li Zhong met the famous Ma Yun for the first time in this speech, Ma Yun's impassioned speech on the stage did infect many young entrepreneurs, many of whom were just graduates, everyone was full of enthusiasm, full of illusions about the future, and dreamed that they could make a career.

Li Zhong was also deeply infected by this atmosphere, thinking about how he was not like this when he had just graduated from college, and he had the same impulse as these young people, but later his self-esteem and confidence were shattered by the cruelty of reality. I found a job that I didn't like, and slowly grinded into an old fritter that I was afraid of at the beginning in a relatively stable environment.

Li Zhong's thoughts were interrupted by warm applause from his past memories, and he adjusted his emotions a little, and then went backstage to find this entrepreneurial stranger, wanting to chat with him face-to-face.

Li Zhong walked quickly to the backstage to find Ma Yun, Ma Yun was drinking water with a water cup at this time, and when Li Zhong walked to the front, he stopped and paused again, adjusting his mentality.

"Hello, Mr. Ma, I just heard your speech, I was very enthusiastic, I came to look for you backstage, I hope I can talk to you in person, don't you mind?" Li Zhong said to the thin boss with a sincere face.

"Of course not, young man, what's your name?" Mr. Ma asked with a kind face.

"My name is Li Zhong, I am working in Shenzhen, I came to Shanghai to attend a conference this time, I happened to meet your speech, I was very excited after listening to it, how is your current Alibaba operation?"

"It's rare, young man, you are also interested in the Internet, you know the Alibaba website, what kind of business do you have? This website generally serves those manufacturers, are you also a member?" Mr. Ma quickly changed the topic and began to promote his website.

"Long admiration of the name, I don't do business, now just work for others, the main object of your Alibaba service is those manufacturers and traders, that is, manufacturers to manufacturers, belongs to e-commerce, but the general consumer is basically not contacted, now the United States eBay in the United States is quite hot, that is, personal to individual, there are also merchants directly to individuals, so wouldn't it be more convenient for many people to shop online. Li Zhong said his thoughts seriously, you can do e-commerce with him today, then the Chinese e-commerce market will have its own piece of the pie in the future.

"I think your idea is very good, business-to-business, person-to-person, these two models are very good, my Alibaba is now a member of the company to be honest, not a lot, and now everyone is not too understanding of e-commerce, I feel that things on the Internet are not very reliable. When I first started, many people around me didn't understand me, but now I probably have less than 100 member companies, and the business is still doing quite well. Jack Ma looked confident.

"More than 100, the current Alibaba has just been founded, and many companies don't know much about it, and they are all holding the attitude of giving it a try, and the current membership fee seems to be quite low, let's talk about it here. Li Zhong thought silently in his heart.

"Yes, there are so many Chinese enterprises, and this model will definitely shine in the future. Mr. Ma is really a good idea!" Li Zhong said approvingly.

Mr. Ma may not think so at the moment, the current network is not very developed, and engaging in e-commerce is originally a business model that he directly copied back from the United States, which is a foreign product. In China's current network environment, it is a bit unsuitable.
