Chapter 485: Early Contact
(.) Yao Liang couldn't help but drum in his heart for Zhou Liwen's request, although he was more courageous, and he was indeed a suitable candidate in this matter, but he didn't have any bottom in his heart to do so according to Zhou Liwen's request. That night, Yao Liang couldn't sleep well in the hotel, his mind was full of pondering about it, he thought about it over and over for a night, and when it was dawn the next day, he took advantage of the fact that Lao Lin was still resting in the room, and secretly ran out of the hotel and found Zhou Liwen directly.
Asked Zhou Liwen for advice in private, and without Lao Lin on his side, he spoke much more casually, and even called Zhou Liwen and Brother Zhou by his previous title. Yao Liang didn't hide his thoughts, and directly told Zhou Liwen and asked him to give him another idea.
"What are you kid afraid of, will I hurt you?" Zhou Liwen scolded with a smile, this guy is really getting bolder and younger, why didn't he see him so timid and afraid when he took out a loan to buy a house?
"Brother Zhou, it's easy for you to say, this bribery is a crime, if you meet a leader who doesn't eat this set, brother, I won't be able to eat and go around. In my opinion, it's better to be solid, I'll feel the situation first, and then prescribe the right medicine, what do you think? Yao Liang looked at Zhou Liwen with a bitter face, looking pitiful.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Liwen couldn't cry or laugh, but this is also normal, Yao Liang is not himself after all, how do you know the current situation of harmony in officialdom? Besides, it was normal for him to be weak for the first time in such a big event. After thinking about it, Zhou Liwen said a few names, and asked Yao Liang to test through these people first, and if there is no problem after the temptation, he will increase his efforts. At this moment, this guy put his mind at ease, and his bitter face became grinning again.
Lao Lin and Yao Liang didn't stay in Tokyo for long, and the second and Zhou Liwen discussed the details, including preparing the bank internally after returning to the bank, so as to work with Wells Fargo. In the evening, they took a plane back to Shanghai. As soon as Lao Lin and Yao Liang left, it didn't take long for Ma Qingyang to rush to Tokyo as scheduled.
As soon as Ma Qingyang arrived, Zhou Liwen was going to have an official showdown with Son Masayoshi to persuade him to spin off Alipay from the Internet Group. However, before, Zhou Liwen and Ma Qingyang met and asked about the progress of the divestiture of the network group, and when he learned that all the work was being carried out in an orderly manner, Zhou Liwen praised the other party with great satisfaction.
"Dong Zhou, have you already arranged it for Mr. Sun?" Sitting on the sand, Ma Qingyang did not go to rest first according to Zhou Liwen's arrangement, but talked about it with Zhou Liwen very energetically.
"Not yet, there is no need to be in such a hurry for this matter, I want to communicate with Mr. Sun tomorrow, and then make an appointment to find a more relaxed place to meet." Zhou Liwen replied with a smile.
Ma Qingyang nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhou Liwen's reason for doing this, and he is more familiar with Sun Zhengyi, knowing Sun Zhengyi's personality and habits, if it is a friend's friendship, then Sun Zhengyi will be easier to speak. But there is one thing, that is, this guy's door-picking personality will never change, and this kind of good speech is only reflected in the communication process between the two sides.
"If you don't mind, I'd suggest I go talk to him first?" Ma Qingyang smiled and said his plan, Zhou Liwen did not answer for a while, but looked at the other party with his eyes.
The living room seemed to be quiet all of a sudden, Ma Qingyang regretted what he just said at this time, but he said this with good intentions, mainly because he was worried that Zhou Liwen would talk directly to Sun Zhengyi, once the two sides talked stiffly, there would be no room for maneuver, so it was better to go out for an interview and talk about it first, and see Sun Zhengyi's reaction. In doing so, they will have a better chance of a showdown.
But Ma Qingyang didn't take into account the frustrating and complicated relationship between himself and Son Zhengyi or Zhou Liwen, and this relationship has to start from the beginning when Ma Qingyang asked Sun Zhengyi to invest in the Ahri project. From the beginning, Ma Qingyang and Son Masayoshi were the real partners, in other words, without Son's later venture capital, there would be no current Ahri.
But because of Son Zhengyi's character, coupled with Ma Qingyang's burning of money too quickly, it didn't take long for Ahri's funds to start running low, when Ma Qingyang found Sun Zhengyi for the second time to ask for additional investment, at this time Son Zhengyi was a little depressed, he was worried that his money would make a splash, and he was even more afraid of the failure of the project, so he refused to take out a penny from his pocket.
In the end, Ma Qingyang made a lot of effort to get another amount of money from Sun Zhengyi, but he also paid another part of the shares this time. When the second time the funds were almost used up, Ma Qingyang found Sun Zhengyi for the third time, and at this time, Sun Zhengyi already felt that he had become the role of the wronged leader, and he refused to pay any more.
At this time, Ma Qingyang clearly told Sun Zhengyi that if he didn't continue to invest, Ahri would go bankrupt, and if Ahri went bankrupt, then all the money he had invested before would be the result of never returning. In the face of the current situation, as long as you stick to it, there will definitely be a return, it is better to grit your teeth and continue to invest in order to keep the previous and overall investment part.
In this case, Son hesitated, he neither wanted to lose nor wanted to invest again, so he thought about it and came up with a trick, that is, to attract other venture capital funds to participate in order to recover his losses. It is precisely in this situation that Yahoo entered as a partner, and if the history remained unchanged, Yahoo would have gained the largest equity position in this financing, and Son would have sold part of his interest because of this opportunity, and received compensation from Yahoo for the money he had invested before
But then history changed, Zhou Liwen suddenly stepped into the lever, replacing Yahoo as the largest shareholder, although Yahoo did not completely withdraw, but in the end the proportion of shares obtained is much smaller than in history, and even the proportion of shares owned by Son is not comparable to the proportion of shares owned by Son now.
It can be seen that Zhou Liwen and Ma Qingyang cooperated later, so the cooperative relationship and time between them are far less than that of Ma Qingyang and Son Zhengyi. And now, Zhou Liwen is Ma Qingyang's real boss, Ma Qingyang proposed to talk to Sun Zhengyi at this time, if there is any private collusion between them, Zhou Liwen will inevitably suffer a loss.
Just when Ma Qingyang was nervous and blamed himself for not saying this, Zhou Liwen opened his mouth to break the calm, and he nodded slightly: "Yes." ”
These two words sounded like a heavenly sound in Ma Qingyang's ears, and he was relieved, and his demeanor became calm.
