Chapter 057 Jack Ma injects capital
"Lili, I'm back."
Tan Lin and Rose walked side by side and happily walked to the villa.
In the villa, Tan Li, who was entertaining guests, ran over happily after seeing the two returning.
"Oops! What a rare guest, Mr. Ma, it's an honor for you to come to my house! ”
Tan Lin warmly shook hands with Ma Yun, and admired Ma Yun Tan Lin very much, this little man who is not good-looking, can use 10 years to develop Taobao into a behemoth and earn a net worth of 100 billion, which has to be said to be a miracle.
Ma Yun didn't have a trace of arrogance, and joked with Tan Lin.
"Boss Tan, you are polite, it is my honor to be a guest at your house. Is that Ross-classmate? ”
Ma Yun said, his eyes moved to Rose. He opened his eyes and looked Rose up and down with a look of surprise.
"I'm Rose, hello, Mr. Ma." Ross politely shook hands with Jack Ma.
Ma Yun gave Ross a thumbs up in admiration: "You are so young, only eighteen years old is like having such a high IQ and technical accumulation, it's too much." It seems that the position of the richest man in China will soon be replaced by you! ”
Rose smiled: "Mr. Ma has spoken, please take a seat." ”
"Hmmm! You sit too. ”
Ma Yun sat on the sofa with a smile, very easy-going.
"Hello, Mr. Ross, it's a pleasure to meet you."
In the villa, another short figure walked over, this semi-bald, unattractive man was none other than Son Masayoshi, the richest man in Asia, who could not speak Chinese and could only greet Ross in English.
"Hello, Mr. Sun, I'm glad to meet you too."
After Ross politely shook hands with Son, the two sides sat down on the couch.
Ross didn't have to guess, he had already thought about what these two investment experts with a keen sense of smell came to the villa for. I guess I want to invest in myself and make money in partnership.
After the two sides sat down, Ma Yun and Son both wanted to discuss the investment with Rose, but no one was embarrassed to speak first.
"Mr. Sun, you are a guest, you can talk to Ross first."
Ma Yun also has capacity, and the smile gave the opportunity to Son Zhengyi.
"Thank you, Mr. Ma, for your kindness."
After nodding his head to Jack Ma, Son said to Ross with a smile.
"Mr. Ross, your remarks yesterday have caused a stir throughout Japan. I heard that you have helped Lihua produce the world's most advanced special bearings, and also have a state-of-the-art 'magnetic compression technology', right? ”
Rose smiled and nodded, "This is already yesterday's news." Mr. Sun, did you come to me to invest in me? I heard that you are one of the best investors in the world, you have almost never missed a move, and every investment has been rewarded handsomely. ”
"Mr. Ross, you've already spoken. In fact, every investment has a lot of preparation to be done behind it, and everything is not as simple as you say. I was just a little bit lucky. ”
Ross smiled: "Mr. Sun, I heard that when you first invested in Mr. Ma Yun's Taobao, it only took two minutes to decide to invest 20 million US dollars. I want to ask you how much you are going to invest in me today. ”
Son was rarely excited: "If I hadn't looked away, working with Mr. Ross would have been the greatest investment of my life." If you are willing to cooperate with me, I am willing to provide you with more than $2 billion in financial support. ”
"$2 billion!"
When Tan Li and Tan Lin's father and daughter heard this, they were immediately frightened. That's a huge amount of money of more than 12 billion yuan. This Son Masayoshi is too bold, but Ross has no expression on his face, and the huge amount of $2 billion would be excited for any ordinary person.
What the hell is that kid pretending, and he really treats money like dung? The father and daughter of the Tan family are asking this in their hearts.
Ross smiled and didn't answer, which made Son a little anxious: "Mr. Ross, if you don't think it's enough, I can inject more capital until you agree." ”
Rose finally spoke, his voice very flat: "Mr. Sun, no matter how much money you invest, I will not agree to cooperate with you." ”
Son was rarely excited: "Why? Mr. Ross, why is that? Is it because I'm Japanese? In fact, the 23rd generation of my ancestors were all Chinese, and later called the Republic of Korea, and then immigrated to Japan. It's because I don't forget my Chinese ancestors, so I don't use any Japanese surname, I use a Chinese surname, and my surname is Sun. Even though I am now a Japanese and the richest man in Asia, I have never forgotten my ancestors. You can't give up this investment because of my nationality. ”
Rose smiled: "Mr. Sun, you misunderstood. I've heard about your change of surname, and I admire you a little bit for not forgetting your ancestors. But it's a real pity that my technology is important to my country. Even if I am willing to cooperate with you, the state will definitely not agree. Because my technology is involved in many industries in the country, and even in the national defense industry. The state can easily veto our investments on the grounds that it protects 'homeland security'. You know, if the state doesn't want me to cooperate with you, there's nothing to talk about. No matter how much money you have, the state freezes it and doesn't let you call my account, what does that do? ”
Rose's words made Son's face look sad.
"It's really sad that such a good investment has to be given up because of nationality. Mr. Jack Ma, congratulations on your happy cooperation with Mr. Ross. Excuse me, Mr. Ross, if you need anything in the future, you can come to us at SoftBank, we are still willing to invest in you, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"Mr. Sun, I'm sorry."
"You're welcome, goodbye, Rose."
Son maintained the introverted personality of the Japanese, and although he was very unhappy, he still bowed politely to Ross and said goodbye.
Son's investment failed, but Ma Yun was happy, and he laughed proudly.
"Haha...... This may be the first time in Son's life that an investment has failed! Ross, did you know that SoftBank is very cautious about investing in others, and 70 companies apply to them for investment, and they are willing to invest in one of them. Meet you for five minutes and be willing to invest your huge amount of money of more than $2 billion. This may be Son's shortest and largest investment. That guy's courage and eyesight are truly remarkable. He made $58 billion from my Taobao listing, and it hurts me to think about it! Rose, you helped me out, and I want to thank you. ”
Rose smiled: "Mr. Ma, you don't need to smirk to relax the atmosphere." As a shrewd businessman, you must come to me, just like Son Masayoshi, you want to get a return on your investment. Say, how do you want to invest in me. ”
Rose's cheerfulness made Ma Yun happy: "You have a straightforward personality, I like you as a friend." I'll tell you the truth, that special steel of yours is too advanced in technology, it is a golden hen, and you definitely don't want me to share this golden hen with you. Then how about we share the golden egg of special bearings. Your special bearing is very marketable, and the domestic and foreign markets are huge. I'm here to discuss with you about a joint venture to engage in special bearings. ”
Ma Yun took a sip of tea and continued: "According to my investigation, Lihua Company produces just ordinary small bearings. Like car bearings and other high-grade bearings, you can't produce them yet. If you are willing to accept my investment, I am willing to invest 2 billion yuan to invest in special bearings. I don't need technical intellectual property, I'm a businessman, I just need shares and equity. ”
Ross lowered his head and thought for a while, this special bearing must be done, but if Tan Lin does it alone, he has insufficient funds and limited ability. I have to engage in a lot of other scientific and technological research and technological development, and I don't have time to produce and manufacture special bearings, wasting energy.
It is a good choice to cooperate with Ma Yun, this guy has a wide network, and with Taobao as a channel, special bearings can quickly go to the world. What Ross is most concerned about now is how many shares Ma Yun needs to invest 2 billion.
If he were to share half of the profits from the special bearings, Ross would definitely not agree.
After thinking for about a minute, Ross spoke directly: "Mr. Ma, I just want to know, you have invested 2 billion yuan, how many shares do you want for the new bearing." ”
Ma Yun smiled slightly: "10%, people must be self-aware, I am not greedy, as long as 10% equity." ”
Jack Ma didn't open his mouth widely, he said that all the equity shares were similar to what Rose had in mind.
At that moment, Ross was happy: "Mr. Ma, I agree to cooperate with you." Uncle Tan Lin, you can sign a contract with Mr. Ma to discuss the details of investing in the construction of a new plant. ”
Tan Lin was very excited, with this 2 billion funds, at least dozens of bearing production lines can be manufactured, and all kinds of cutting-edge bearings should be able to be made.
But Tan Lin still has a question.
"Ross, leave the matter of cooperation with Mr. Ma to me. However, it is a bit difficult to produce special bearings! Your special steel with 2 times the hardness is too hard. If you want to produce, it is estimated that it is difficult for ordinary machine tools to cut special steel! ”
Rose smiled: "This problem is too easy to solve. Those heads, drills, cutters, milling cutters that manufacture special bearing machine tools...... I'm going to use a 3D printer, a higher hardness of special steel, and the rest of the machine! There is no need to replace it, anyway, as long as it is not in direct contact with special steel, the machine does not need to be changed. You build a bearing production line according to the ordinary process. I use a 3D printer to make tools that are in direct contact with special steel. ”
Tan Lin was overjoyed: "Great, I'm worried that ordinary machines can't cut special steel." ”
After being excited, Tan Lin couldn't wait to sit down next to Ma Yun: "Mr. Ma, can we talk about the details of the cooperation, or draw up a contract?" ”
"Mr. Tan, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"
At that moment, Ma Yun and Tan Lin began to talk in detail about the special bearing project.
And Ross has a new job, which is to use special steel, which is 6 to 8 times harder, to make those drill bits and other tools needed to produce bearings. These tools can be made with 3D printers, and a ton of special steel can be made into a whole bunch.
Ross said just do it, got into the research room, and got back to work.
