The timeline goes back a month, and it was a weekend in early July. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At that time, Gu Mojie had just completed the acquisition of Lei Jun's UC Youshi Technology.

For the top bosses, the schedule is indifferent to weekends or not.

The Jiangnan Club, which has always been the top vane of the Qiantang business community, held a private banquet meeting on this day.

However, the host of this treat was not Gu Mojie; It is Ma Feng, the number one shareholder of Jiangnan Club and the boss of Ahri.

Opposite him, a young man of thirty years of age sat respectfully.

Ma Feng is 47 years old this year, and the vicissitudes of life have been revealed, but his spirit is still sharp.

Both sides sit on a low table in an ancient style, with a bamboo mat like a tatami mat underneath. The horse wind sits casually, spreading his legs; The young man on the other side was very respectful, and sat solemnly (kneeling) according to the ancient law.

Ma Feng took a bottle of soju, poured it for himself, and then pouted, and instructed the young man opposite: "Self-realization, I won't pour it for you." ”

The young man poured himself full respectfully.

Ma Feng ignored the other party's performance, as if he was sitting opposite the air, talking to himself there.

"I remember that after the winter vacation of '03, you came to Taobao to do things. Back then, there were still three months before Taobao was launched, and you were also a 23-year-old hairy guy who didn't graduate from college. It's been six and a half years, and it's not easy.

But since '05, I knew you wouldn't be able to do it for long, and you would have to leave one day. Still, I'll treat you well: a year and a half as a programmer, a year as a project manager...... to the last two years of Alipay's deputy director of technology. Ask yourself, who of the people who follow me has been promoted to the level of deputy director of Alipay after just six and a half years out of school? You'll be 30 next year! ”

"Mr. Ma, your cultivation, I am not ungrateful. It's not like I'm going to have trouble with you today......"

The young man was a little embarrassed, and his expression was very ashamed.

He is Gu Mojie's cousin Zhou Lixin.

At that time, a 03 computer graduate of Qiantang Institute of Electronic Engineering, when his nationality was unknown, he entered the preparatory Taobao internship as a programmer, and then gradually climbed up.

He also knew that before 05 years, he climbed on his own strength, which was already fast, but it was not against the sky.

05 years later, he was in Taobao and even later Alipay, and the rocket speed soared.

Zhou Lixin is self-aware, and this kind of rise is certainly not entirely because of his academic qualifications and programming skills.

On the one hand, it was a good time for him to work in Ahri just before Taobao was founded.

The second, and most important, reason is that he has a good cousin.

Ma Feng has always given him a good job for the alliance with Gu Mojie over the years, and when Zhou Lixin did not plan to resign, and even finally gave Zhou Lixin the position of deputy director of "Alipay" technology.

Otherwise, if you compare it horizontally, Chen Qi, who is completely consistent with Zhou Lixin's trajectory, will not have such a good fate-

Taobao, which was also joined by Zhou Lixin and Zhou Lixin, was only a few months late and did not catch up with the internship period.

Moreover, he graduated from Qianjiang University, one of the top three engineering schools in China, which is much harder than Zhou Lixin's second-class students, and his business is also very strong.

But Chen Qi can only give Zhou Lixin a hand now, and there is still a layer behind.

However, from another point of view, this incident also proves that as long as you are professional, talented, willing to work hard, and have the atmosphere and opportunity to increase your knowledge, anyone can get ahead in the Internet industry.

Although Zhou Lixin was a second-year student, it does not mean that his programming talent is worse than that of the top students of Qianjiang University. It's just that his liberal arts grades are too bad, and he can't stand out under the college entrance examination selection system that year. A programming genius who is biased towards science, there are few similar examples in the outside world.

The more Zhou Lixin thought about it, the more panicked he felt in his heart, he was thin-skinned and moral, which he had not practiced so far. was about to continue to explain, but Ma Feng saw it and decisively stopped it.

"Don't explain, I'm not going to ask the teacher for guilt today, nor is it a righteous city. You have to go, Alipay's internal technology is better than yours, and it is more suitable to be the technical director of Alipay, I have it. I'll just ask you something. ”

When Ma Feng said this, he paused and drank a glass of soju: "Is it the day you leave, even if it is the day when Gu Mojie and I go to war?" Is he going to do e-commerce? ”

Zhou Lixin finally seized the opportunity to explain: "You can't say that, Ajie and I have explained that he has no intention of being your enemy." At present, the product he wants to promote is 'Chujian Wallet', which is positioned the same as Alipay or Tengxun's Tenpay. But he doesn't plan to do e-commerce websites, and in the future, if the wallet involves the e-commerce drainage of physical goods trading, it will still be introduced to Taobao. ”

"And what is he going to do with his wallet?"

"There are many things that can be done: first of all, Hatsune Entertainment's game industry has become the largest in the country, and 20 or 30 million paying players rush to the point card every year, and they have always used Alipay to pay, which is inconvenient.

Steam's genuine game sales platform will also need to have its own means of payment in the future, and it will also need to see the wallet for the first time.

The remuneration of the original creators of the first audio video and other content is much more convenient to have a wallet at first sight.

And then...... When I say the latter sentence, you must not leak it, especially not let Ma Huateng's people hear it. ”

Ma Feng raised his eyelids and said disdainfully: "Do you still need to say this?" ”

"The last feature is that my brother has recently been planning the 'paid reading' function of Hatsune Mailbox, and this is exactly what it is...... Anyway, you have to have a first-time wallet. ”

"That makes sense." Ma Feng bowed slightly, and the wrinkles on his forehead were stretched, "Then can he guarantee that he will not do physical e-commerce in the future?" ”

"How can this be guaranteed? But my brother said that he is really not interested in buying and selling standardized commodities, and he will never do this kind of thing. But personalized life consumption, the new e-commerce model in the future, if there is something that suits his appetite, he is certainly willing to try. But for now, his wallet is only pushed for the transaction payment of virtual products. ”

This answer can be regarded as expected by Ma Feng.

He believes that what Zhou Lixin said at the moment should be true in a year or two. From Gu Mojie's point of view, it is impossible to expand the battlefield when he is facing Ma Huateng, and even the partners who have always been horns of each other will offend Guang.

"If you're gone, your wife will be gone. What about anything else, are there any plans to poach people from me? ”

"Scarlet Tong will definitely come with me and go over there to do the operation of the Chujian wallet. For the others, of course I'm not going to dig up ungratefully. However, Brother Chen said that he wanted to do it with me, to be precise, he hoped that I would invest in him, make an e-commerce platform for personalized products, and drink the saliva of the first time I saw my wallet. It really has nothing to do with me, and Applejack didn't do it. ”

"Chen Qi, this kid? That's it, he's been working with you for 6 years, so let's leave if you want to. "Ma Feng can afford to put it down, this kind of talent, a few walks will not hurt him, "I also hope that Gu Mojie can abide by today's gentleman's agreement, otherwise, there will be no eternal friends, and there will be no eternal enemies, I am looking forward to Ma Huateng leaving the e-commerce entrance on QQ to Taobao." ”

Ma Feng's last sentence can be regarded as a threat of both hard and soft, warning Hatsune's side that Ahri is definitely not a soft persimmon.

……

The timeline goes back a month later.

Zhou Lixin, who completed the resignation and handover period, was finally relaxed.

After coming down from the Alipay building and going to the cloud coffee on the podium downstairs for a drink, he was going upstairs to face his new job again.

It's just that I went to work from Block B in Huanglong Times Square to Block A - Block B is the Alipay Building, and Block A is the headquarters of the Hatsune Group.

The official casual meal has been eaten two days ago.

So this drink is completely a private party with colleagues who resigned together, as well as a few close friends who are still working on Taobao.

This meal, of course, was paid for by Zhou Lixin.

He asked for a private room and ordered a table of dishes that were a combination of Chinese and Western. It is also thanks to the fact that the recipes of Yun Coffee are highly internationalized, and the dishes of Chinese, Japanese, and Italian meals can be ordered, not like ordinary cafes, only fast food packages.

There were a total of 5 people who ate together.

Zhou Lixin, and his wife Liu Feitong, who is the deputy director of Alipay operations.

Zhou Lixin used to be the backbone technical leader under him, Chen Qi. In addition, Chen Qi's wife is a girl who does her own trendy e-commerce fashion store.

There is also a chubby single Wang named Cheng Wei. He didn't plan to change jobs, just to have a meal with Zhou Lixin and Chen Qi. Zhou Lixin figured out that this guy might also have a disobedience to Ma Feng, and he would start his own business in the future.

But no matter what the other party's motives are, if he dares to come together for a meal at this point, Zhou Lixin will not push it out.

In terms of age, the three men at the dinner table are almost all the same students, and they all graduated from college in the year when Taobao was created. Perhaps, the times create heroes.

Unlike the technical men Zhou Lixin and Chen Qi, Cheng Wei is in the market, and now he is the regional manager of Alipay. In terms of level, he and Chen Qi are at the same level, half a level lower than Zhou Lixin.

"Brother Xin, I wish you a great future. Going to Hatsune is definitely much more important than being used in Alipay. Cheng Wei, the market man, is naturally a chatter at the dinner table, and in the face of colleagues from technical backgrounds, he is of course responsible for leading the topic.

Chen Qi followed and said: "Then you still need to say it!" Hatsune was opened by a new brother and his brother, and the first step was the CTO of the 'Hatsumi Wallet' project, and the future is even more limitless. What's more, people themselves have group shares. ”

Cheng Wei was choked once, but he didn't mind, and his fat face continued to smile with kindness: "What about Brother Qi, if you leave this time, you must also go to the 'First Sight Wallet' to show your skills?" Alipay's core technical backbone, Mr. Gu must be thirsty for talents. ”

However, Chen Qi's answer was much beyond Cheng Wei's expectations.

"I'm not going."

"What? Then you still leave ......."

"I'm going to start my own business, but I guess I can start a business based on the upcoming Chumi wallet."

Cheng Wei was a little confused: "Relying on the wallet to start your own business? Is it possible for you to do your own e-commerce? What about investment? ”

Chen Qi shrugged: "Investment?" The angel wheel had to find a new brother to vote for me. ”

Cheng Wei was surprised: "It turns out that you have long been ...... But I'm worried in vain. Then I wish you all to rise step by step, and my brother will do it first. ”

Saying that, Cheng Wei drank the wine boldly. (To be continued.) )
