Chapter Seventy-Three: Preparing for the Establishment of Alibaba II
Benefiting from the convenience of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the treaty port, as well as its own well-developed silk and grain industries, Hangzhou was once an important commercial distribution center in history. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 In modern times, relying on the opening of railway lines such as the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway and Shanghai's import and export trade, the light industry has developed rapidly.
Zhejiang businessmen have always played an important role in Chinese history, and after the reform and opening up, Zhejiang people have been in the front and created many legends.
Hangzhou has pleasant scenery and is the capital of Zhejiang Province, so it is indeed beneficial to make friends with Zhejiang businessmen and develop e-commerce. Today, Hangzhou ushered in a fleet of five people and two vehicles, and their arrival is of great significance to the future development of Hangzhou.
Far away in the suburbs of Hangzhou at a glance, several high-rise buildings stand out from the crowd to tell the meaning of modernity, into the eyes of the green dotted in twos and threes, listen to the water under the bridge dingdong, a good picture of the Jiangnan book and water.
Xu Gang honked his horn, and the large number of bicycles in front of him scattered and gave way to the road, and Liu Si instructed Xu Gang to drive to find a hotel to stay in.
In the end, Liu Si chose the China Hotel, which is close to Yan'an Road and Jiefang Road, the commercial center of Hangzhou, with a good name and a modern atmosphere from the outside, so he chose the China Hotel as a foothold in Hangzhou.
Zhonghua Hotel is located in Renhe Road, the first day to Hangzhou, naturally to eat all over Hangzhou food, after visiting the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou, make money is to enjoy, to eat, drink and have fun!
Yan'an Road and Jiefang Road are bustling, the scenery of West Lake is pleasant, Hefang Street is full of charm, and Wulin Square keeps pace with the times...... It took two days to basically walk around the center of Hangzhou, and what excited Liu Si the most was that he saw a modern residential house near the East River.
Jiangcun commercial and residential area and Jinjiang can be regarded as the earliest commercial housing area in Hangzhou, and Jiangcun commercial and residential area and Jinjiang two plots need to wait for two years for commercial housing development, which is like 98 years, and now it is only 96 years, and it is not possible to live in a comfortable and modern community.
However, Liu Si is not frustrated by this at present, because he is interested in real estate, so he is happy to see that Hangzhou's commercial housing has not yet been developed. And the information searched from Goldfinger shows that the four plots of land in the four districts of Binjiang were not valued by people in history, because the Binjiang area in the 90s meant backwardness.
"Dad, let's go buy a house tomorrow! This time, I have to stay in Hangzhou for half a year, or even longer, and I can't afford to stay in a hotel. Back at the hotel, Liu Si preached to Liu's father.
"Okay, then let's go see it tomorrow."
"I'm going to buy a house in Donghe, where we went today, how about it?"
"Make your own decisions."
Although Liu's father gave up the right to speak to Liu Si, buying a house finally became an empty word, because the supply of commercial housing was seriously insufficient at that time, and the housing supply was extremely scarce.
Liu Si is not cheap, but if he wants to stay in Hangzhou for more than half a year, it is naturally impossible to stay in a hotel all the time, and finally he found two façade houses on Yan'an Road, and spent a great price, half of the house price at that time.
The main thing I did when I came to Hangzhou was to set up an e-commerce website with Alibaba's B2B model. The first is to go to the Hangzhou government to register Alibaba Network Technology Co., Ltd., because there is no borrowing from the relationship of the second generation, so the office speed is very slow, if it is in Guangzhou or Shanghai, this little thing will take no more than two hours.
Fortunately, in the 90s, the Internet was just emerging, and domestic laws and regulations were not perfect. It not only refers to the imperfection of laws such as the Internet Copyright Law and cultural supervision, but also the imperfection of laws and regulations such as website construction and registration.
In 2015, there were many troublesome things such as filing with the government and applying for online cultural licenses to handle e-commerce websites, but in the 90s, there was no need, even for commercial websites.
The relaxation of Internet laws in the 90s made the speed of the Hangzhou government irrelevant. What is most important in the company, talent is the most important. After two days of warm-up, many talent markets and university talents in downtown Hangzhou learned that an Alibaba network company was going to hold a job fair at the football stadium of Zhejiang University.
Alibaba Network Technology Co., Ltd. is looking for HR Manager, Finance Manager, Accountant, Secretary, Translator...... Software Engineer, Systems Analyst, Database Architect, Test Engineer...... Senior Designer, Website Editor, Website Planner, Senior Development Engineer...... Lawyer......
In 96, Zhejiang University was still divided into four schools, and Zhejiang University deserved to be one of the first seven national key universities included in the national "211 Project" construction plan. Its computer science and technology major is among the top in the country, and Liu Si has no reason to let go of these flowers of the motherland.
At the entrance of the football field at the Xixi Campus of Zhejiang University, a 1x2-meter recruitment photo supported by a stand swaggered in the wind swaggered in the wind, welcoming the attention and onlookers of the students who stayed on campus during the summer vacation of Zhejiang University. There are more than 20 kinds of positions without indicating the number of recruitment, and the swagger of this unknown Alibaba Network Technology Co., Ltd. immediately aroused heated discussions.
Because the football stadium is close to the student dormitory building of Zhejiang University, it didn't take long for this unknown Alibaba network company to become famous in Zhejiang University, and of course, it quickly spread to the ears of the high-level management, but fortunately, they had already said hello before.
"Alibaba, the name is pleasing to the ear, but I haven't heard of it." A tall guy in a basketball uniform preached to his companion next to him.
"Good guy, look at this slippery position, this unknown Alibaba seems to be ready to do a big job!" The companion next to the tall guy crossed his arms and looked very arrogant.
"Yoko, don't be cool, go to the interview or not, in a word." The tall guy is not interested in the arrogance of his arrogant partner.
"Go, of course." The arrogant young man's tone paused, giving people a sense of incomprehension.
"Damn, what are you running for?"
"Of course I'm going to run, it's work."
There are 5 or 6 recruitment photos in the inside of the football field, and the colorful oil paint is very good-looking. 7. 8 hydrogen balloons hang job postings, and an arch sets off the atmosphere. The job fair was hosted by Li Haiping and Madrid, and a total of 30,000 yuan was spent including publicity, and the entire job fair was a lot more imposing.
Li Haiping and Madrid have always helped themselves register domain names, trademarks, and brands in the United States, and almost forgot that they are actually IT talents who graduated from computer science and technology. I think the two of them started from the bottom programmers step by step, and they achieved senior positions in just 5 years.
Before 2010, the computer industry was basically the same every day, and programming was an idea that could change what we had learned. Li Haiping and his wife may not be as good as the interviewee in terms of programming, data architecture, system analysis and other skills, but they are better than the laymen themselves.
Although Alibaba's job fair was hosted by the two, Liu Si still came to the scene. The division of labor was clear two days before the job fair, Li Haiping and the two were responsible for the technical job interview, and Liu Dashao was the chief examiner for unrelated positions such as secretary, senior art designer, accountant, and lawyer.
"Beauty, introduce yourself first." Liu Si sat firmly in the examiner's position, looking at the college student in front of him with a smile.
"My name is Jiang Zixuan, I graduated from Hangzhou University of Foreign Chinese, I am 21 years old this year, and I am from ......"
Jiang Zixuan is tall, with delicate facial features, and her eyes are clear and bright like a pool of clear water, which is endearing. She put on some light makeup, her hair was straightened and straightened, and she was carefully dressed, her hair was black and shiny on her shoulders, and she was wearing a good-looking dress, which was extremely beautiful and beautiful.
Liu Si, who had already read Jiang Zixuan's resume, interrupted her self-introduction, and seemed to remember something funny, which made him smile a little obscenely, "Bicycles, hot water bottles, refrigerators, what are these three things in common with women?" What's the difference? ”
"Ah, these three things are ...... with women"
I have to admit that appearance is a person's capital, Jiang Zixuan was hired by Liu Si with her unusually attractive beauty, and because she graduated from Hangzhou University of Foreign Affairs and Chinese College, she passed the eighth year of English, so she finally became Liu Dashao's special translator and female secretary.
Alibaba's job fair was a great success, at least in Li's final report, which showed that Alibaba's B2B e-commerce platform could be built and tested within a month, which means that Alibaba was able to officially launch within a month, which is much shorter than the original expectation of at least two months. Of course, the reason why Alibaba was able to do it in just one month was that the job fair recruited a large number of elite programmers, and the design plan of Alibaba's website for the first time was not complicated, it was very simple.
Alibaba Network Technology Co., Ltd. is headquartered on the first and second floors of two buildings on Yan'an Road, and the middle wall has been opened.
At present, Alibaba Network has more than 50 employees, 50 computers, two large and small offices partitioned by aluminum plywood, and two large and empty office areas that have been temporarily divided.
The development of Alibaba to be honest made everyone speechless, the concept of e-commerce was put forward very early, but everyone in Alibaba had a question in their hearts, "What is this?" "Alibaba, which is being developed by everyone, is not a complete e-commerce website, because although it has e-commerce functions, its main business development is that Alibaba is a website that provides business information.
"Ma Yunda, we robbed your Alibaba, we really don't want to grab the Chinese Yellow Pages, but there is no way, the times are limited, the Internet is not popular, and e-commerce can't be done!" After condolences to Ma Yun in his heart, Liu Si still unswervingly asked the Alibaba team to implement the development of the e-commerce website based on the free yellow pages information service decided before.
