Looking at Ma Yun's somewhat strange face, Lin Cheng always had the urge to laugh, but thinking of the brilliant achievements made by this guy in the future, Lin Cheng's heart immediately rose again, and his face returned to solemnity.

Ma Yun, as a famous chicken soup master in later generations, can fool investors, partners, and Ali employees around, and it is his instinct to observe words and looks, so he naturally noticed the change in the micro-expression on Lin Cheng's face, but Lin Cheng's inner thoughts, he couldn't even think of it.

Lin Cheng remembered the allusion to the burning of Chibi in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and replied: "I won't answer your question now, why don't we write the answer on the palm of our hands and see if you and I are heroes, okay?"

Ma Yun used to be a university teacher before going to the sea, and he naturally knew a lot about the allusions in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so he immediately nodded excitedly and said: "This discussion is very good!"

Then the two took the colored pen from the assistant's hand, wrote a few words on the palm of their hands, then looked at each other and smiled, spread out their palms, and saw that Lin Cheng's palm was written "painting cakes", and Ma Yun had four words on his palm, but the meaning was indeed the same, he wrote "painting cakes to satisfy hunger".

"Hahahaha! You and I really see the same thing!"

Ma Yun was very excited, and after attending the Lin First National Congress for two consecutive days, although Ma Yun found that Lin Cheng had such and such shortcomings, Lin Cheng at this moment was undoubtedly the benchmark in his mind, and he seemed honored to have the same opinion as Lin Cheng.

For Ma Yun's reverence, Lin Cheng seems a little embarrassed, and is good at drawing big pies for investors, partners, and employees, isn't this the only way for Ma Yun to lead Alibaba to survive the Internet winter, he just wrote down the methods used by Ma Yun, and he is simply cheating.

But rebirth is originally a cheating in life, and Lin Cheng will definitely not have a psychological burden.

As a reborn, his greatest ability now is to follow the path of others, so that others have no way to go.

Lin Cheng nodded and smiled: "At present, China's Internet is in the ascendant, and the total number of Internet users in the country is only two or three million at most, and for all Internet companies, there are only two current goals, one is to survive, the other is to make money, and in the final analysis, it is necessary to survive by all means." ”

"Survive and make money" is undoubtedly a classic quote that Ma Yun said in his later life, and the shameless Lin Cheng plagiarized it again, and then said it to Ma Yun as it was.

Ma Yun smiled when he heard this, clapped his hands and said: "Mr. Lin's words really said that my heart is in trouble, before entering the Internet industry, I decided that the Internet is the most promising industry in the next century, and e-commerce will be a pearl in the Internet industry."

So when Mr. Li approached me and said that he wanted to invest in e-commerce for me, I didn't hesitate for a second, so I sold the China Yellow Pages website and created Alibaba with my team.

After entering this industry, I really felt the rapid progress of China's Internet, and strengthened my belief that the next century belongs to the Internet, but while strengthening my belief, I realized that my most important task now is to lead Alibaba to live into the next century. ”

Ma Yun is worthy of being the big man who will be the boss of China's Internet in later generations, and his views on Internet companies can be called to the point, and now China's Internet companies are affected by the great revival of the Internet by the United States, and they are very happy, and Internet companies have sprung up in large numbers.

But this industry, like online writers, also believes in the principle of "the leftover is king".

After the crash of the NASDAQ stock in March 2000, the global Internet winter was officially announced, and in this long winter, 99% of China's Internet companies died.

When the Internet winter came, the penguins also fell into the abyss of bankruptcy because they had no profit points, Sohu and Sina both wanted to buy penguins, and Twist Vine also had in-depth discussions with Gu Yongjiang and Wang Yan, but the price could not be negotiated.

Interestingly, the closest to acquiring penguins is Yuedong Telecom, Twist Vine offered 1 million, but people were only willing to pay 600,000, in a fit of anger, Twist Vine decided to do it himself.

At that time, Ma Huateng had already undergone two lumbar spine surgeries in the hospital because of his long overtime career, and he felt that he had reached the end of his business.

In later generations, many people complained about how many people sold most of the shares of Penguin and Alibaba to Crooked Nuts? In fact, these people could not imagine how difficult it was to survive in the Internet winter.

Now that Penguin and Alibaba have received 10 million capital injections from Lin Cheng, it stands to reason that with the support of Lin Cheng, the big financier, Penguin and Ali should be invincible and kill all sides.

However, the cruel reality is that the first thing Ma Yun, Mahuateng and their team think about every day is how to lead the company to continue to survive.

For the penguins and Alibaba's struggles, Lin Cheng does not intend to help them, he is very self-aware, thinking that his ability is a scum, can only rely on the future prophetic advantage to make a fortune, once the penguin and Ali interfere too much, causing an unpredictable butterfly effect, then Lin Cheng will have to sit on wax.

Lin Cheng thought about it, and then said a meaningful word of chicken soup for the soul to Ma Yun: "Today will be cruel, tomorrow will be even more cruel, and the day after tomorrow will be beautiful, but most people will die tomorrow night." ”

When Ma Yun heard this, he felt that he and Lin Cheng's views coincided, which made him feel that Lin Cheng hated each other, and faintly introduced Lin Cheng as a confidant.

At the end of the conversation, Ma Yun reported to Lin Cheng in detail about Alibaba's situation: "After receiving the 10 million funds injected by Mr. Lin, my team and I did not spend lavishly, the company was built in a rented apartment, in addition to the latest computers, office desks and chairs are bought from the second-hand market."

Our Ali team is convinced that with the popularization of computers in the future, online trading will become the mainstream of the new century, but before this mainstream comes, the only thing we have to do is to survive and wait.

It is gratifying that Alibaba has been noticed by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and after the establishment of the China International Electronic Commerce Center, it invited us to Beijing to help the government organize large-scale trade fairs as official websites.

Compared with earning the people's money, earning the government's money is undoubtedly more stable, although I don't make much money now, but the company is finally profitable, and most of the 10 million that Mr. Lin handed over to us are still there. ”

Speaking of Alibaba's profits, Ma Yun seems very proud, now all the media are boasting about what Internet fever, as if there is gold everywhere on the Internet, attracting countless entrepreneurs to enter the Internet industry, but in fact, 99% of Internet companies are losing money.
