"We have time, in fact, I came here today mainly to talk about the Old Summer Palace. Jack Ma finally stepped into the topic and said: "Specifically, it is the handicraft platform you have just launched, and I hope to participate in your handicraft support program." ”

Hang Yu was quite surprised and said: "You are actually interested in the handicraft industry, I thought you would invest in hardware technology." We set up the Yuanmingyuan Industrial Platform, and the main goal is hardware R&D and manufacturing, and the handicraft industry is just a supplement that I have made. ”

Because it takes a lot of money and time to support the handicraft industry, Hang Yu put this plan in the Old Summer Palace. Handicrafts are also part of the industry, which is a traditional industry, and Hang Yu hopes to get more investment.

However, Hang Yu didn't expect that Ma Yun would come to him specifically for this matter.

Depending on the situation, Jack Ma seems to attach great importance to this handicraft industry.

"If there's a good hardware product, I'm happy to invest, but we're not going to go into manufacturing. We are an Internet company, and we should focus on Internet technology and focus on one area. The Internet and the real industry support each other, I think we have a bigger short board in the Internet, and doing a good job in the Internet can promote the development of the real industry. Ma Yun said.

"But as far as I know, the brick-and-mortar store industry now hates us e-commerce companies. Hang Yu teased.

"What we eliminated was only a part of the physical stores with poor quality, and all those with good quality and good service survived. Now that urban land is so tight, there are also benefits to eliminating some brick-and-mortar stores. Ma Yun said.

"Then, how do you plan to promote the development of physical stores?" Hang Yu asked.

"As far as the handicraft industry is concerned, I have the same idea as you, to use online shopping platforms to make folk crafts flourish again. It's a market with a lot of potential and a good signboard. Ma Yun said.

"That's what I said on the platform, so you don't have to repeat it and say something unique. Hang Yu said.

"It's not unique, I hope to make a platform for the handicraft industry, call on more e-commerce companies to join in, and we can promote this signboard together." We alone can't make this sign. Ma Yun said.

"No problem, I can take out the handicraft area of Jiangnan Mall, and I welcome anyone who wants to invest. "Hang Yu's purpose in putting the handicraft industry in the Old Summer Palace is to attract investment.

"Okay, I'll invest 50 million in the first round, I don't know how many shares I can hold?" Ma Yun said.

"At the current value of the handicraft zone, you can probably take 35% of the shares. Hang Yu said.

Hang Yu has not invested much in the handicraft industry, and it is still in its infancy, and the performance of the handicraft zone is also very average. In fact, he himself is not very sure about this matter, because although there are people in the original history who make handmade platforms, they have not made a big one.

The reason why Ma Yun wants to invest in the handicraft industry is not actually seen in the Old Summer Palace, but in the international purchasing network. The international purchasing network also has a manual area, and the recommendation is more powerful than Jiangnan Mall, and the performance in foreign countries is very good.

"Starting from scratch is the most difficult stage, and we have paid not only money, but also the hard work and wisdom of many employees. Chairman, I don't agree to take 35% of the shares in exchange for the 50 million investment, and I don't think the project leader, Manager Tan, will agree either. Xu Rui said.

"I also think so, we do training courses, manual tutorials, although the investment is not much, but the manpower and hard work are not a lot. And we've pioneered this model and proven it to work, all we need is time. Xia Ming said.

"It's okay, just a little less share, or I'll invest a little more money. Ma Yun said.

"Just call Manager Tan over, and we'll discuss it carefully. Hang Yu said.

"Okay, I'll let him know. Xia Ming immediately called Tan Jing.

Jack Ma has shares in the international purchasing agency, so the manual area over there is not his goal.

Jack Ma's target is the domestic handicraft market, and he has thought about doing it himself, but he also knows that it is difficult to support it alone. And Jiangyan company has a good start, cooperation is the best way.

"Speaking of creativity, I actually have some opinions about handmade platforms. While Xia Ming went out to call, Ma Yun said: "You have training classes and tutorials, which is a very good model." But I think the most important thing is profit, without which we will not be able to attract enough investment and attract enough talents to join it. ”

"Your approach is too slow to bear fruit, and I think we should focus on selecting a few high-quality handmade products to build a well-known brand and play a leading role. It is necessary for everyone to see the benefits and hope, so that someone is willing to do it. Ma Yun said.

"There must be high-end brands, and there must be low-end brands. Hang Yu said.

After talking for a while, Tan Jing came, so the two sides officially started financing talks.

Although Tan Jing is not in charge of the manual area, he is doing the behind-the-scenes work, and he is the one who knows the project best, and he is the real person in charge. Tan Jing also hopes that more people will invest, and he has no prejudice against Ali, so he is more polite than Xu Rui.

Hearing the investment of 50 million, Tan Jing's performance was more entangled.

"Chairman, am I solely responsible for this matter?" Tan Jing asked.

"Yes, you can do whatever you want. Hang Yu said.

"In this case, I think 50 million can raise about 23% of the shares, I don't know what Mr. Ma thinks. Tan Jing said that he was still more conscientious and did not take the opportunity to pit Ma Yun.

"What about 100 million?" asked Jack Ma.

“40%。 Tan Jing said.

After speaking, Tan Jing looked at Hang Yu, Xu Rui, and Xia Ming, and the three of them had different reactions.

Hang Yu's face was expressionless, he didn't know what he thought, Xu Rui frowned, obviously not very happy, Xia Ming looked thoughtful, as if he was considering whether it would be worth it. In a project like this, it is not that the other party can buy shares by giving money, but it depends on the plan of Jiangyan Company.
