Chapter 176: Taobao
On December 29, 2000, two days later, it was the New Year's Day of 2001, Fang Yi received a call from Peter, every time he talked to Peter and Li Sen, Fang Yi had to spend twice the phone bill, he needed to turn on the speakerphone, and asked someone to translate and communicate at the same time, so that Fang Yi, an English novice, made up his mind to re-learn countless times, but now where is there time for him to start again, Peter said" Boss, we have completed the initial investment intention with the Malaysian boss in Hangzhou, but he wants to meet you before the contract is signed, and the boss asks you when you are free, and he will come to visit you in Shudu."
As soon as Peter mentioned the Malaysian boss, Fang Yi remembered the Malaysian boss's signature facial features, speaking of this Malaysian boss is also a strange person in China in the 21st century, Fang Yi always felt that he was a little similar to the German Hitler, he had the ability to bewitch life, and could make people follow him at any cost, he led more than a dozen people, repeatedly defeated and fought, and finally became the richest man in China in only ten years。 However, if you compare the boss of Malaysia and the boss of the pony together, Fang Yi prefers the boss of the pony, although his Tencent has nothing innovative in the entire industrial chain, and has always pursued the doctrine of taking, but the boss of the pony can play those old rice out of flowers, the first battle against OICQ, as a plagiarist, defeated OICQ in one fell swoop, and became the boss of the instant messaging industry, and later when he made a table game, Tencent played to the death of Lianzhong, and when the farm of Happy Network was booming, Tencent launched QQ Farm, constantly introducing new ways to play, and the Happy Farm was disabled, followed by WeChat and WeChat payment, the pony boss is able to keep improving on the basis of his predecessors and kill the big guys one by one. Although the Malaysian boss is the richest man, Fang Yi doesn't know which of the two horse bosses has more money, but the pony boss is more in line with Fang Yi's style of acting, low-key and introverted.
After listening to Zhou Xin's translation, Fang Yi said, "Okay, then let's meet in his Hangzhou on New Year's Day, if everything is okay, I will open a new chapter of Alibaba on the first day of 2001", for the people he once admired, Fang Yi still wants to worship himself, although the current Malaysian boss is not as brilliant as the previous life.
After listening to this, Zhou Xin said, "Mr. Fang, then I'll help you book a ticket to Hangzhou tomorrow night."
Fang Yi was about to agree, when suddenly a beautiful figure flashed into Fang Yi's mind and said, "Help me book a ticket to fly to Gusu tomorrow morning, just book me and return Zhu Chun for 3 people, you don't have to go this time, it's New Year's Day soon, you have been busy with me for half a year, take advantage of the New Year's Day holiday to go home to see your family."
Zhou Xin nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll handle it immediately", for Zhou Xin and Zheng Rongjun, Fang Yi values their English ability the most, aside from this, Fang Yi likes to deal with many things by himself, after all, he is a very hands-on person, and he also likes to do it himself, now with Zhu Chun and the three of them, I heard Li Hu say that they can also speak three national languages, if the situation is true, it will be a great help for Fang Yi's travel in the future.
At 10 o'clock in the morning the next day, the plane was lowered to Shuofang Airport in Xicheng, although Gusu is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, it has always been the land of fish and rice, in the Manchu Dynasty, the rich merchants of Gusu and Yangzhou are famous in China, and the cultural heritage of Gusu is also very rich, the four great talents of Jiangnan in the Ming and Qing dynasties, their poetry and painting works, until today are still recited.
As soon as he arrived at the exit, he saw Li Xue waving at Fang Yi from afar, and the tall and mighty Li Hu was standing behind, Fang Yi walked out and said, "Xiaoxue, I didn't expect you to be in Gusu in the past two days, how is your game going now?"
Li Xue grabbed Fang Yi's arm and said, "This is also a coincidence, after the show was finished yesterday morning, I will go back to Gusu, the next episode of the show will be recorded next week, I didn't expect that I just got off the plane and received a call from you, Brother Fang Yi, this time you will have to play in Gusu for a few more days."
Hearing this, Fang Yi also obeyed this little aunt and grandmother, where do he have any personal time now, this time he came to Gusu to come to the appointment from his busy time, otherwise he didn't know how to toss himself next time he saw this little aunt and grandmother.
Fang Yi said speechlessly, "I have to rush to Hangzhou tomorrow, there are some business to be busy there"
After hearing this, Li Xue suddenly hugged Fang Yi's arm, and said coquettishly, "No, you have to stay in Gusu for a few more days anyway, I have been planning how to take you to play in Gusu since yesterday", Fang Yi felt that his arm was embedded in two balls of soft flesh.
After two strokes, the arm was not able to be pulled out, but because of the friction that had been drawn, the arm felt numb, Fang Yi said speechlessly, "Xiaoxue, it's not that Brother Fang Yi doesn't play with you, there is really no way, I made an appointment with someone else to meet in Hangzhou tomorrow, it is a very important meeting, otherwise, if you are okay tomorrow, you can go with me, and then we can go boating in Xizi Lake."
As soon as Li Xue heard that she could go to the West Lake with Fang Yi to go boating, she immediately swept away the unhappiness just now, let go of Fang Yi, ran to Li Hu's side and began to discuss, she was the little princess of the entire Li family, if there was no Li family around to watch, they would not worry about Li Xue going out alone, and they heard Li Xue mention Zhu Chun's name from afar.
After two minutes, Li Xue flew back to Fang Yi's side like a happy little butterfly and said, "Brother Fang Yi, my brother agreed, we will go to Hangzhou tomorrow, and he will send a car to send us over at that time."
Next, Fang Yi's entire activities in Gusu were arranged by Li Xue, what snacks to eat at noon, where to play in the afternoon, where to buy souvenirs, and which hotel to stay in at night, Fang Yi really felt that this time he went to Gusu, the little girl's happiness and full preparation for his arrival.
After dinner, Fang Yi said to Li Hu, "Brother Hu, tomorrow you will send a car to send us to Hangzhou, which will not cause you trouble, right?"
Li Hu picked his teeth and said, "Brother Fang, when you arrive in Gusu, it's like going home, where are you still so polite to me, if you don't have to leave tomorrow morning, I'm going to take you to Taihu Lake to play, let's get a boat and go fishing in the lake."
Fang Yi hurriedly stopped and said, "Brother Hu, forget it, where do I have that time, this time after I go back to Hangzhou, it will be almost the New Year, and it will take several days for the elders to walk around, and I have to go to Ning Province."
Li Hu was a little surprised when he heard Ning Province and said, "Yo, I didn't expect that Brother Fang, you have a business in the distant Great Northwest Ning Province."
Fang Yi didn't know if Li Xue had talked to him about anything, so he didn't elaborate on his trip to the northwest with Ma Rui, and said twice, "Why didn't you see your sister-in-law this time?"
Li Hu said with a bitter face, "Your sister-in-law is from the Northeast, but she said that she couldn't stand the cold of winter here and took your little nephew to Hainan for a vacation to avoid the cold, I was surprised, her hometown was cold and snowy, and she was embarrassed to say that we were cold here."
Fang Yi really wanted to ask, buddy, didn't you go to your father-in-law's house, they are heated all winter, and they may only wear shirts at home in winter.
On the first day of 2001, Li Hu sent two cars to send Fang Yi, Li Xue and Zhu Chun's team went to Hangzhou, although Gusu and Hangzhou belong to two different provinces, but the distance between the two cities is more than 300 kilometers, and it takes less than 3 hours to take the highway, in a small courtyard with Jiangnan style on the edge of the West Lake, Fang Yi saw the former richest man in China Malaysia boss, in fact, before the rebirth, Fang Yi was a little puzzled, looking at the photos of the Malaysian boss when he started his business from the Internet, his face shape should be more individual, and the depression of the cheeks should be more prominent, but before Fang Yi was reborn, the very characteristic depression was basically flattened, is it our richest boss after having money, and went to South Korea for plastic surgery like those Internet celebrities.
Under the introduction of two employees of Century Investment, Fang Yi shook hands with the boss of Malaysia and said, "Mr. Ma, I have admired your name for a long time"
The Malaysian boss looked at the staff of the two investment companies with some uncertainty, although Fang Yi is not well-known in front of the public, but the small C he launched is well-known at home and abroad, in their specific circle, Fang Yi's Century Technology and its Century Investment are somewhat famous, they were very successful in 2000 in China's two Internet investments, and now many people who have just engaged in the Internet hope that they can enter the eyes of Century Technology.
The Malaysian boss didn't expect that he had been frustrated so many times without success, and Fang Yi, a rising star in Internet investment, would actually know that he said, "Mr. Fang, you're welcome, first of all, let's not talk about the two Internet investments you made last year, when you just say that the little C you launched will grow the ambition of our Chinese people, plus your age of less than 20 years old, it really makes us people ashamed."
Fang Yi also asked politely, "Mr. Ma, what specific plans do you have for the future of your Alibaba?"
When it came to Alibaba, the boss of Malaysia, he said with a twinkle in his eyes. Now our Alibaba is mainly doing B2C, that is, business to customer sales, our company for these enterprises to show their own companies and products, so that customers can find them in the fastest time and reach cooperation intentions; Airbnb""
