Chapter 236: Invite Jack Ma to meet
Ma Yun looks very ordinary, and now, he has not yet reached the glory period of later generations. Compared with later generations, the current Ma Yun still lacks the temperament of a business leader. However, Ma Yun at this time is more energetic and energetic than Ma Yun in later generations. In the process of starting a business, this kind of momentum is most needed.
At the beginning of the sentence just published by Ma Yun, there was a round of warm applause.
In the hearts of many students, they still admire Jack Ma very much. In particular, Jack Ma founded Alibaba from scratch, and in a very difficult environment, he built the entire Alibaba to the current scale. Especially for the Internet industry, it is really not easy. You must know that every investment in the Internet is millions of dollars.
"Here, I would like to share with you my dream, mission, and ...... with innovation."
Jack Ma has talked a lot, starting from his dream when he was a child, and has been talking about the current Alibaba Group. Especially the understanding of innovation is in Jack Ma's thinking. His innovation is not for the sake of his opponents, but for his own tomorrow...... Perhaps, he has long regarded innovation as an artistic achievement, and he has been working in this direction.
Half an hour later, Mr. Ma's long speech came to an end. And, at this time, some students from Tsinghua University asked Ma Yun their own questions.
"May I ask Mr. Ma Yun, why did you consider doing e-commerce instead of online games at that time?"
What is the most profitable thing to do on the Internet, the answer is online games.
Don't look at e-commerce sounds very famous, but in fact, it doesn't make much, including the market outlook in 2011, and the money it makes is not very much. The reason why Jack Ma is so famous is beyond a large number of game company CEOs. It's all because e-commerce can drive the economy. After all, Alibaba's business, it is a platform for business-to-business transactions.
And although online games are very profitable, they have little impact on the economy.
It's a pity that it's such an industry. E-commerce, which also belongs to the Internet, is also a very money-burning industry. So, a lot of the time. It's not that others haven't found this piece promising, but because they don't have the courage to enter this market.
Even if someone enters this market, just like Jack Ma before, there are people who have entered e-commerce, but for various reasons, the plan has been interrupted. Until the end, Ma Yun fought his way out of the e-commerce platform. However, this e-commerce platform model is also dangerous, once the capital chain falls, it may not take a few months for Alibaba to be completely finished...... "I am not a speculative person, I just want to do what I like." ”
The meaning of Ma Yun's sentence is actually that many online game companies now just want to make a lot of money. How can you make a game with your heart, for such a thing, Ma Yun will not do it. Perhaps, it is because of his arrogance. Therefore, Ma Yun has been focusing on e-commerce on the Internet, and rarely involves anything else.
"May I ask Mr. Ma Yun, what do you think about the financing and shareholding of Internet companies?"
Most Internet companies have emerged through financing. Whether it is NetEase, Xin/Lang, or Jinshan, in addition to the relatively bullish Tang Dynasty company, a large number of other online game companies have undergone varying degrees of financing. Moreover, foreign venture capital can often be seen in this kind of financing.
As a venture capital company, when they give financial support, they also take shares of the company.
"Very good, I really deserve to be a student of Tsinghua University's Department of Economics and Management, and I asked about economics so quickly."
Ma Yun smiled, although he felt that this topic was a little difficult to answer, but he still did not evade, "I think, whether it is an Internet company or some other company." Personal funds are always limited, and if you only think about the ownership of your own company, it will definitely limit your own development. As for the issue of financing and shares, I think it's a normal thing. People contribute funds, I contribute shares, and it has always been a fair trade. I wish there were more VC firms like this in China. This is also conducive to the development of China's Internet and even other enterprises......"
Financing is a helpless move, if you have money, who will raise it. Although there are fewer shares after the financing, they can get a sum of money, which allows them to quickly seize the market. A company like the Internet, even if it is worth tens of millions, must spend it all after investing in it. If there is no other financial support, it can only be eliminated by powerful companies.
Subsequently, many Tsinghua students asked a series of questions. At this time, Chen Jiayi was about to raise his hand to ask Ma Yun a question, when a soft but firm voice sounded, "May I ask Mr. Ma Yun, have you considered other models of e-commerce?" For example, in addition to B2B now, we may be able to develop into C2C ......"
Alibaba is a business-to-business, or B2B model.
"This classmate, what's your name?"
"My name is Fang Qingwei."
This voice, Chen Jia is very familiar, it is the girl Chen Jiayi said hello just now, now look at it, this female classmate at this time, for some reason, has already put aside her inferiority. Instead, he looked at Ma Yun very firmly, as if he wanted to get some answer from Ma Yun's side.
"Fang Qingwei, I remember you."
Jack Ma nodded, and then said slowly, "I think you have seen the future of e-commerce." ”
In fact, in 2003, Ma Yun founded Taobao. That is, C2C, an e-commerce platform in a person-to-person model. And this platform has finally strengthened Jack Ma's position as a business leader. In later generations, as long as you think of online shopping, most of them will think of Taobao. Of course, in later generations, there will be e-commerce platforms such as Dangdang and Zhuyue. However, these are only e-commerce platforms with professional surnames, and the audience is small, which can compare to Taobao, an e-commerce platform with a comprehensive surname.
At that time, the slogan of Taobao was that there was no treasure that could not be found.
In other words, no matter what type of products are on the market, Taobao has them. From equipment used by the company to stationery, Taobao Mall has everything. It's a virtual item, and Taobao also has it. For example, what kind of game equipment, virtual currency, etc. With Taobao, Jack Ma's e-commerce platform, it has achieved the first position in Asia.
Now I started Alibaba, all about serving enterprises. Moreover, this kind of dealing with enterprise companies can also quickly make Alibaba's reputation out. After all, promotion from the top to the bottom is the easiest. If you go from the bottom to the top, you have to take it step by step and slowly seek a breakthrough.
Ma Yun didn't explain to everyone specifically, and smiled at "Fang Qingwei", completely ignoring any other expressions because Fang Qingwei had a scar on his face. Perhaps, Ma Yun also admired this Tsinghua student at this time. He didn't expect a student to be able to see this. In fact, what he wants to say is, if possible, I would like to invite you to join Alibaba.
"Good eye."
This Fang Qingwei said what Chen Jiayi wanted to ask in advance. Unexpectedly, such a girl who looks inferiority has such a vision. Perhaps, she is also a person with great dreams. It's just that her physical deficiency has closed her in a human world for a long time.
Subsequently, Ma Yun answered a series of questions, and the speech ended successfully.
In the afternoon of the same day, when Ma Yun was about to go back to the hotel to rest. Her secretary said to Ma Yun, "Chairman, Chen Jiayi, president of Tang Dynasty Company, invites you to meet at the "Qiushuiju" teahouse. ”
"Chen Jiayi?"
Who Chen Jiayi is, of course Ma Yun knows.
It's just that he doesn't understand why the CEO of Tang Dynasty Company suddenly wants to see him. Moreover, the place to meet is actually a teahouse not far from Tsinghua University. Could it be that he is also in Tsinghua University. It is also possible that the fact that he gave a speech at Tsinghua University is not a secret. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty company is so big, it is normal for Tsinghua University to recruit some students.
"Did you ask Tang Dynasty what the company is?"
"The other party didn't say it, the invitation letter was also sent by the headquarters of the Tang Dynasty company, and I haven't replied to him yet."
"Well, if you reply to him now, just say that I have time now."
"Okay."
After five minutes, the secretary said, "Tang Dynasty Company replied, now Chen Jiayi is waiting for you in Qiushuiju Teahouse." ”
"Haha......"
Ma Yun laughed, but said in his heart, "He really expected that I would definitely come?" However, Ma Yun didn't care, but he wanted to meet the CEO of the Tang Dynasty company for a while.
The man of the year in Internet companies, which is not a miracle asset. For example, Ding Lei, Chen Tianqiao, and Zhang Zhidong are all amazing and brilliant characters. Naturally, for Chen Jiayi, the first expert on the Internet, they all want to get to know each other. It's just that this Chen Jiayi is the most low-key. Especially after the establishment of the group company, he seems to have been hiding behind the scenes.
A situation like this is something that many people can't understand.
Just like Ma Yun, do you think Ma Yun runs here and there every day, attending some business events, in order to become famous? Not at all, they're just building momentum for the company. On the one hand, it will launch itself, and on the other hand, it will also launch the company. Until the end, whether they see Jack Ma or Jack Ma's Alibaba, they will think of a piece.
Just like Bill, when you think of Bill, you think of his system. This is a very big promotion for the company. However, this Chen Jiayi actually didn't make good use of his fame, but hid behind the scenes, which is a little strange.
Strange is strange, a character like Chen Jiayi, Ma Yun still wants to get to know him. At the very least, the current Tang Dynasty company is already the No1 of the Internet. This is not only manifested in online games, but also on portals, and judging from the recent momentum of TT.com, there is also a trend to surpass new/wave. Moreover, Tang Dynasty Company is not limited to this business. His platforms, however, have already formed a huge business network.
No wonder Chen Jiayi doesn't want to be famous.
Thinking of this, Ma Yun seems to have figured it out.
With such a big net, as long as the Tang Dynasty Company develops slowly along this net, it will be able to defeat all opponents in one net. It is even possible to use this huge net to spread to Europe and the United States to achieve Internet hegemony.
The situation has been laid out, and it doesn't matter if Chen Jia is not famous.
The "Qiushuiju" teahouse is very close to Tsinghua University, and Ma Yun only took a car for more than 20 minutes before coming to the Qiushuiju teahouse. According to the agreed private room, the waiter invited Ma Yun to room 201.
"Hello, I'm Chen Jiayi."
