In 2000, Japan's SoftBank raised $20 million in Alibaba, holding a 32.3% stake in Alibaba. In addition, other foreign companies raised $5 million for Alibaba, holding an 8% stake in Alibaba.

Nearly a year has passed, and Alibaba has improved somewhat, and its market value will also increase, but Xiao Bowen is confident that he will persuade Jack Ma to broker the acquisition of Alibaba's foreign shares.

Afraid of worrying about his lack of funds, Xiao Bowen made another call to his godmother Ding Wenli.

"Has godmother been busy lately?"

"It's fine! What's the matter with me, boy? ”

Ding Wenli knew that Xiao Bowen was fine, so she rarely called herself.

"Of course it's a good thing, godmother, have you heard of Alibaba?"

"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves? Heard the story! Why do you ask me this question, you don't mean to tell me that you have found the treasure of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, do you? Hehe! ”

Alibaba in 01 is still a little-known small network company, although it has successfully raised $25 million, but it is still far from being familiar to the public, Ding Wenli thinks Xiao Bowen is joking with herself?

"Godmother, you are so smart, I just want to take you to find the treasure of Alibaba!"

In 2000, SoftBank's Masayoshi Son invested $20 million in Alibaba, and 15 years later, the market value increased 1,000 times.

"The little cub and the godmother are still poor, aren't they? Tell me, what are you going to do this time? ”

"Alibaba is an Internet company just established by Jack Ma, and I am ready to buy all his foreign shares!"

"The Internet? Do you know this new thing? ”

"Do you remember my classmate Xiao Ming? He studied Internet finance, and now he works at Bill Gates' company, and he predicts that the Internet will become the hottest industry in the world in two or three years. ”

In the face of his godmother's inquiry, Xiao Bowen couldn't explain, after all, his academic qualifications were there, and he had no choice but to move out Xiao Ming, who let him and his godmother speculate in stocks five years ago.

"Xiao Ming? Is that the person who predicted the stock market back then? It's amazing that he actually got into Bill Gates' company! Since it's what he said, it should be fine! How much money do you need to invest this time? ”

According to people's inertial thinking, Ding Wenli completely believed Xiao Ming when she tasted the sweetness of stock speculation last time, which is why there are many liars in society who can succeed.

This is also the reason why many well-known entrepreneurs can succeed, that is, two words are willing! It's easy to say the word "willing", but how many people in this world can really do it?

"Look at your godmother, they invested 25 million US dollars back then, and now it's been a year, and it's estimated that they will spend more money, and my own funds are almost enough, but there are good things I have to think about godmother! Right! ”

"That's pretty much it! You can arrange it! ”

"Why don't I be responsible for acquiring the $20 million shares of Little Japan, and you will be responsible for the other $5 million shares?"

"Okay, so be it! When are you going to go? ”

"Just for a few days! I heard that Ma Yun, the boss of Alibaba, made an appointment with Mr. Jin Yong and several Internet bigwigs this year to prepare to hold a West Lake sword discussion in Hangzhou! ”

"West Lake on the sword? What is it? How do you know so much? ”

Ding Wenli was a little puzzled again, her godson was really an all-rounder, and he knew almost everything.

"The West Lake on the Sword is Ma Yun's invitation to Sohu.com CEO Zhang Chaoyang, Sina.com CEO Mao Daolin, NetEase Chief Architect Ding Lei, TOM CEO Wang Yin, 8848 founder Wang Juntao, Alibaba CEO Ma Yun, and famous writer Jin Yong. A few people together at the Web Summit in Hangzhou. ”

"Alright! When is it held? ”

Ding Wenli had heard of Sohu, NetEase, Sina and Jin Yong, but the other two really hadn't heard of it.

"Soon, it's this month, October 21st! Godmother, do you want to come with me? ”

"I'll forget it, you go! I'll give you my full support when the time comes! ”

hung up the phone, Xiao Bowen got the support of his godmother, and directly contacted Zhou Yujing to book a ticket for himself to fly to Hangzhou on October 20.

This time, the West Lake debate revolves around the topic of "operating the Internet", and six network elites, including Zhang Chaoyang, CEO of Sohu, Mao Daolin, CEO of Sina, Ding Lei, Chief Architect of NetEase, Wang Yin, Chief Executive Officer, Wang Juntao, founder of MY8848, and Jack Ma, CEO of Alibaba, will attend the summit and give speeches on "How to Grow New Economy Enterprises".

The conference invited more than 600 people from all walks of life, such as representatives of government departments, representatives of well-known enterprises, senior managers of domestic and foreign network companies, international trade practitioners, etc., Zhang Wei, the host of CCTV's "dialogue" program, will be the host of the summit, and Mr. Jin Yong, the host of last year, will attend as a special guest. At present, the conference has attracted more than 150 Chinese and foreign media to report on this grand event of the new economy.

Xiao Bowen was also very emotional, Ma Huateng was not invited to participate in this Internet summit, which shows that Tencent's influence is still limited at this time!

Fortunately, he started early, and only spent more than 30 million US dollars to get 53.5% of Tencent's shares.

In order to participate in the Internet summit of the West Lake Sword, Xiao Bowen also worked hard, and signed up in the name of Tencent shareholders, fortunately, Ma Yun and a few of them also began to pay attention to Tencent, otherwise they would be closed, then Xiao Bowen really became a big joke.

After entering the venue, Xiao Bowen was very low-key, and it is estimated that few people here can know him.

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhang Wei, the host of CCTV, made an opening speech, followed by Mr. Jin Yong's speech.

Jin Yong spoke very interestingly: "Friends, I didn't expect these people to be so enthusiastic about participating in the network in Hangzhou today, and I am very excited. I myself can say that although I don't know anything about the Internet, I at least "don't know anything" and understand a little bit.

I don't use the Internet myself, I'm conservative, old-fashioned, and I don't like computers very much. I use the Internet a lot, and the most I use the Internet is to buy books.

I think it's very good to buy books in the American Amazon, I want to buy a book in English, no matter how old it is, even a 19th century book. Sometimes it's expensive, you can negotiate the price with him. If I accept it, he will be able to send it soon. I said OK today, and I received it the day after tomorrow.

When I was in Hong Kong, I thought it was very convenient, it was better than borrowing books from the library, and the price was not too expensive, so I used it the most to buy books. The second most used is to play Go. ”

The audience and reporters began to applaud enthusiastically. (To be continued.) )
