"What's the matter?" got up, walked quickly to the table and picked up the phone, Liu Ting asked with an unhappy expression.

I don't know what was said on the other side of the phone, Liu Ting was very unhappy and said: "No matter who or anything, everything is pushed back, I don't have time to receive ...... today." ”

"What's going on?" Zhou Liwen asked on the other side of the sand.

"Wait......." Liu Tinghe said on the phone, holding the microphone and turning around: "It's not a big deal, SoftBank sent someone over to talk to me about cooperation." ”

"SoftBank? As for the Japanese company you mentioned earlier that is interested in VC? Zhou Liwen asked, seeing Liu Ting nodding, he was a little strange: "Didn't they make an appointment and came to the door?" Aren't the Japanese people the most disciplined? ”

Liu Ting's face was a little embarrassed, and she explained embarrassedly: "The appointment is an appointment, but I didn't expect you to come back today, and I forgot to ask the secretary to cancel the appointment, so I ......." ”

Zhou Liwen smiled: "Hehe, that's my responsibility, no matter what you do." In this way, since the guests have already come, let the guests in, so as not to be accused of not being polite in the future. ”

"But ......."

Zhou Liwen got up with a smile, stretched out his hand and pointed inside, I'm also tired, go inside and take a rest, you can just talk outside.

Liu Ting nodded, and then explained a few words on the phone, and asked the secretary to invite someone in.

When SoftBank's people entered the office, Zhou Liwen had already entered the lounge in the inner room. This lounge is for Liu Ting to work overtime and rest, the place is not big, but it is very clean. In addition to a simple single bed, there is a chaise longue with a few latest financial magazines next to it. Zhou Liwen sat on a recliner, picked up a magazine and flipped through it, but his attention was focused on the office across the wall.

There seemed to be two people from SoftBank's side, one of whom spoke Chinese fluently, but his voice was a little strange, and he should be a Japanese who understands Chinese. As for the other one, he opened Japanese, Zhou Liwen didn't learn much Japanese, and the most words that can be understood in Japanese are words like "Baga, Yazhan Saucer......", which is also due to the special cultural transmission of Japan.

Listening to them introduce themselves, the vice president of SoftBank China who can speak Chinese is the vice president of SoftBank China, and the minister who speaks Japanese is a minister sent by the headquarters of SoftBank in Japan. The level of these two people also belongs to the middle level of the SoftBank Group, and with the scale of SoftBank and its status in Japan, the other party sent these two levels of people to be regarded as an IT company that already attaches great importance to Zhou Liwen.

The vice president of SoftBank China is called Kenji Morii, and the one sent by SoftBank of Japan is called Shigeru Kakutani, and the two introduced themselves first, and then sat down under Liu Ting's hospitality. Liu Ting asked the secretary to make tea for the customers, and then asked them what they were coming for.

Kakutani Shigeru was sent by the headquarters, and of course he was the main one. He first nodded solemnly to Liu Ting, and then said a lot of Japanese. Kenji Morii translated on the side, which roughly means that as a Japanese IT giant and financial group, SoftBank is very optimistic about Liu Ting's Taobao website and Alipay, two IT companies, and hopes to use the advantages of both parties to carry out close cooperation. In order to show the sincerity of SoftBank's cooperation, the headquarters specially sent Minister Shigeru Kashitani to China to meet and negotiate with President Liu.

Liu Ting smiled faintly after hearing this, she had already reported this matter to Zhou Liwen, but Zhou Liwen did not instruct her to refuse directly, but said that she should consider it. Moreover, now that Zhou Liwen is sitting inside, since SoftBank's people have come, it is better to ask Zhou Liwen how the other party intends to cooperate with the conditions.

First, she thanked SoftBank for the importance it valued to her company, and then Liu Ting tentatively asked SoftBank what kind of cooperation it wanted to make.

It seemed that seeing that Liu Ting did not refuse, Kakutani Shigeru seemed a little happy, and said again, Kenji Morii hurriedly translated: "That's the case, our SoftBank's position in Japan's IT industry and financial industry must also be clear to you, Asia's SoftBank, especially SoftBank China, has attached great importance to China's IT industry exhibition since it entered the Chinese market a few years ago. So far this year, SoftBank Group has invested in 18 projects in China's Big 6, all of which have been very successful. ”

According to Shigeru Kadotani, SoftBank has used its huge capital and its own advantages to achieve good cooperation with Chinese partners in China's investment projects, and has promoted the rapid development of China's IT industry. Among them, from the initial 2B Rongxin, Mobile Data and other projects, to the later Ahri, and this year's grand ...... With a total investment of more than $1.1 billion, these projects have helped the Chinese partners raise a huge amount of operating capital to expand and expand their enterprises and companies.

"Based on our SoftBank budget, SoftBank headquarters has decided to provide your company with $7o60,000 dollars in venture capital to help your company's development."

"7o60,000 dollars? That's a lot of money. Liu Ting smiled and asked, "But I want to ask, is this money for Taobao or Alipay?"

"Of course, the two companies have a total of 7.60 million US dollars, Mr. Liu, although these are two companies in name, but these two companies are actually managed and operated by you, right? So for us, it's actually a company. ”

"So, what about the specific plan?" Liu Ting asked with an impassive expression.

"Mr. Liu knows Ahri in Hangzhou, right?" Kakutani Shigeru didn't answer the question first, and turned the conversation to Ma Qingyang's Ahri.

Liu Ting nodded slightly.

Shigeru Kadotani smiled: "In 1999, Mr. Ma Ahri was invested by our SoftBank Group with $360,000 and a 3% stake in the company. This money has allowed Mr. Ma's Ahri to survive the 26-year IT Internet crisis smoothly, so as to get a good exhibition. Now, SoftBank will continue to increase Ahri's investment to achieve a truly win-win situation. So referring to Ahri's successful example, we at SoftBank invested $7.60 million in your company, hoping to get at least 4o% of the spoon shares. ”

"4o, isn't that too much?" There was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of Liu Ting's mouth, and her tone remained unchanged.

"Not much, it's a carefully calculated amount." Kakutani Shigeru took out some texts and showed them to Liu Ting one by one, including the user base survey of Taobao and Alipay, the scale of the website, and even the comparison of eBay data that had just been wholly acquired, etc., he used these as explanations, saying that the investment of 7.o6 million US dollars for 4o% spoon shares was calculated in detail, and if Liu Ting could accept this venture capital, SoftBank promised Liu Ting that he could refer to Ahri's example and not interfere in its normal operation, which was to hold equity and the company.

Looking at these things, Liu Ting felt funny in her heart. These little Japanese are very careful, but it is a pity that they have not figured out the real capital of these two IT companies at all.

Zhou Liwen's investment in Taobao and Alipay has exceeded $360,000 since the beginning, and Taobao users alone have now reached the second largest e-commerce ranking in China. This is not counting Alipay, in Liu Ting's view, although Taobao has a future, but Alipay's prospects are far greater than Taobao, especially Alipay has now vaguely replaced many functions of Internet banking, coupled with the share exchange cooperation with Shanghai Bank, only Alipay's market value valuation has long passed the original investment, becoming the main profit project of the Internet company in her hands.

$7o60,000 to take away 4o% of the spoon shares? It's just a joke Liu Ting does not deny that Ma Qingyang's Ahri is flying with the support of SoftBank, but until now, Ahri's main business is BB and Taobao is 2e mouth 2, which is a huge difference. In terms of user base and scale, Taobao is not inferior to Ahri, and even better in some ways due to the emergence of Alipay. With only $7.60,000 in venture capital, I'm afraid I can't even take 4o% of Taobao, let alone Alipay, which is more valuable?

Besides, compared with Son Masayoshi, Zhou Liwen's personal assets may not be as much as his, but the difference between everyone is also limited. With a backstage boss like Zhou Liwen, do IT companies still need to rely on SoftBank investment? It's not a joke.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept this condition." After all, the other party is a guest, and he is also a guest who takes the initiative to send money to the door, of course Liu Ting has to be polite. She smiled and shook her head, closing the text on the table and pushing it towards the other party.

Kakutani Shigeru's expression was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that this young and beautiful Chinese woman would be unmoved in the face of a venture capital of 7.6 million US dollars, you must know that this is 7.06 million US dollars, according to the current conversion rate of RMB, it is equivalent to more than 560 million yuan. Such a large sum of money fell from the sky, and she actually refused?

The surprise on his face flashed, but after all, Kakutani Shigeru was sent by the headquarters, and he still had self-cultivation and patience. He smiled and said: "It's okay, if Mr. Liu feels that there is a gap between the conditions and expectations, we can continue to talk." As SoftBank, we are very interested in cooperating with each other. ”

"Of course" Liu Ting smiled and nodded, at this time the mobile phone she put on the table moved slightly, picked it up and looked at it without the other party paying attention, and then asked Kakutani Shigeru for their contact information with a smile, saying that she would give them an answer after considering it.

Liu Ting's request seemed to give the other party hope, and they happily left Liu Ting contact information, and invited Liu Ting to have time to go to SoftBank in Japan as a guest, and then discuss the cooperation between the two sides in depth. Liu Ting politely agreed, personally sent them out of the door, and when she came back, she saw that Zhou Liwen had come from the inside to the outside, lit a cigarette, held the business card left by Kakutani Shigeru in her hand, and smiled meaningfully.
