Fireworks in March, spring blossoms.

Wu Tian strolled on the shore of West Lake, watching the weeping willows fluttering, accompanied by Comrade Lao Ma, the richest man in China in the future, and Fan Xiaojian, the richest man in the mainland.

"After all, SoftBank is a little devil, and it will have a stigma in the future, so I hope that Mr. Ma can still try to cooperate with Tianjian Investment." Wu Tian said with a smile.

Mr. Ma set up a company of forty thieves, but after all, there was a shortage of funds and difficulties in development, so Mr. Ma was looking for investment everywhere.

At the beginning of the Internet industry, the opportunity to make money in the market was very slim, and the only way out for many Internet companies to survive was to seek venture capital. Running a website is a money-burning job, not to mention that in the early days of the Internet, the website profit model was immature, and you can only rely on stock market speculation to enhance the value of the company, hoping to make money in the future.

This is the reason for the formation of the 2,000-year-old Internet bubble, and after the hype reaches a certain level, the bubble bursts, and Internet companies cannot find venture capital, and almost all of them are struggling to survive.

And Mr. Ma's forty thieves company, which is one of the lucky ones, found two venture capital investments totaling $25 million before the bubble burst, so that when the bubble burst, he would not have no money in his hands and starve to death, which was supported until 03 years later, when the Internet spring came.

It's just that the venture capital that Mr. Ma found was SoftBank from the little devil.

As the largest venture capital company in the island country, SoftBank has developed quite rapidly, and when it comes to SoftBank, some Chinese people often have a good impression that its chairman is of Chinese descent, but that Mr. Sun is a full little devil! The main electronics, communications, network and other companies under his command have always been the biggest competitors of domestic counterparts. Especially in the field of electronics and communications. Domestic companies want to enter India, Africa and other regions. There will always be competition from SoftBank's companies.

As the same strong venture capital company, Tianjian Investment has naturally long regarded SoftBank as its number one competitor, and Wu Tian has already set a goal to let Tianjian suppress the limelight of SoftBank and become the largest investment company in Asia - Zhongtian's main business is finance, although it is also engaged in investment, but it is not mainly venture capital, and more directly buys mature enterprises. Or a large amount of equity.

It's just a pity that in the early years, Tianjian's main focus was on cosmetics, machinery, electronics and other fields, but it didn't have much contact with Internet companies. At that time, Wu Tian had also been staying in the United States, but he forgot about the Forty Thieves Company, otherwise where would it be SoftBank's turn to invest?

Fortunately, it is not too late, SoftBank invested 25 million US dollars in the early stage, and the shares obtained in exchange are not too much, only a dozen percent, and then in 03, at the beginning of the establishment of the Taobao project. SoftBank invested an additional $60 million for the second time to establish his position as the largest shareholder......

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** *************

To say that Wu Tian is not interested in Softbank's investment this time. That's pure nonsense!

How profitable is this investment? It is only said that SoftBank has invested 80 million US dollars, and more than ten years later, the 40 thieves have been listed in the United States, and Mr. Justice's investment has directly swelled to 100 billion US dollars! That's more than a thousandfold increase!

After the listing of the 40 thieves company, Mr. Ma became the richest man in China, and he only accounted for 7.0% of the 40 thieves company!

And SoftBank occupies more than 30% of the shares, which directly pushed Mr. Sun to the position of the richest man in the world! Another point that has to be mentioned is that more than 40% of the shares of the 40 thieves are owned by Yahoo, and SoftBank is an important shareholder of Yahoo!

This makes people uncomfortable to think about, and they always feel pain for the horse!

"Mr. Sun is not thin on me, he is the only one who supports me in the most difficult times, and I still hope to cooperate with Mr. Sun." Mr. Ma said tactfully.

Wu Tian glanced at Mr. Ma, obviously not satisfied with his answer.

My buddies have already said that you are a Chinese company, and you were forced to accept the investment of the little devil at the beginning, but now you have been given a better choice, but you are still obsessed?

"I hope Mr. Ma can think about it again, the conditions I give you, Mr. Sun will never give you such a good one." Wu Tian persuaded again.

The so-called venture capital company, while investing funds, the return required is the company's shares, compared with the two, naturally who wants fewer shares, who is the most suitable partner.

Wu Tiankai gave Mr. Ma an investment of 100 million US dollars, only asking for 60% of the company's shares, and promised that the company's operation was fully responsible for Mr. Ma, and Tianjian would not intervene in any way, and also said that if the company encountered policy difficulties, he would come forward to help solve them.

It can be said that these conditions are simply extremely good, not to mention that the little devils will not give such generous conditions, just say the last one, they can't give it if they want to!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, Mr. Fan's conditions are indeed quite good, but the company's current development plan does not need 100 million US dollars, so this ......," Mr. Ma said.

Wu Tian nodded, smiled, and said, "Okay, I still hope that Mr. Ma can think about it." Well, I will stay in Jiangnan for two or three days, and if Mr. Ma is interested, I can contact Mr. Fan. ”

This is an ultimatum, in two days, if he still doesn't change his mind, Wu Tian doesn't mind setting up a company to fight with him in the ring......

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************

The harsh winter of the Internet in the previous life only passed in 03 years, but Wu Tian believes that this spring may come earlier in this life. Because "Legend" was launched ahead of schedule.

Internet winter. The most important reason is that Internet companies have never found a way to make money. And to keep the website running, you can only keep burning money. There is no entry and exit, and after a long time, the whole industry will naturally be paralyzed.

What is needed at this time is good news, good news that an Internet company can also make money to stimulate the market, so that investors can see hope again, and then the whole industry will be reinvigorated.

At the same time, online games have stimulated the purchase of personal computers by Chinese people to a certain extent, and the number of Internet users has increased. Naturally, the survival soil of Internet companies is thicker.

Therefore, Wu Tian predicts that in the next two years, the Internet industry will rise rapidly, and Wu Tian will not have so much time to persuade Mr. Ma to change his mind and turn around to cooperate with Tianjian Investment.

After all, Wu Tian is very clear about the future development model of the Forty Thieves Company.

From the beginning, the Forty Thieves Company claimed to be the largest business platform in China, and its main business was B2B business, that is, business-to-business. But it's clear that there's not much to be gained in this business. The Forty Thieves have been losing money.

It wasn't until 03 years that Mr. Ma imitated eBay and established a Taobao branch, which was mainly engaged in C2C business, that is, person-to-person business, and then found that in China, B2C is the best business model, which made Taobao grow rapidly, and once reached a crazy degree of monthly user expansion rate of up to several hundred percent, which laid the leading position of domestic e-commerce in one fell swoop and began to enter a crazy profit period.

As a Taobao customer in his first life, Wu Tianshang even tried to open an online store by himself, and also specialized in studying Taobao's operation model and development process, so he can personally guide the creation of Taobao company, and directly throw Mr. Ma aside - without the support of Taobao, I believe that soon the more than 20 million US dollars invested by Sun Zhengyi will be exhausted, and see how his forty thieves company can survive!

Of course, if Mr. Ma had come to the road, he would have changed his mind and accepted Wu Tian's proposal. In that case, Wu Tian would not leave him behind, after all, Wu Tian has limited energy - or simply said that he is lazy, and starting a company is a very tiring thing!

You must know that for Wu Tian, in addition to making money, there are more important things waiting for him to do, such as helping his father climb the peak of his career, striving to improve the national economy and people's livelihood, and even spreading the national culture around the world, etc., which are all big things......

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ************

Wu Tian came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, of course, it will not be as simple as just to meet Mr. Ma. For Wu Tian, by the way, meet him and say hello to see if he is willing to cooperate, but Wu Tian's real purpose is for the problems of the automobile industry.

Although the future development scale of the Forty Thieves Company is quite large, much larger than that of the automobile industry, but in the end, its weight is much worse.

The automobile industry can be called civil. Ethnic industry, in modern society, a country, a people. If the clan does not have its own automobile industry, the country is civil. The clan is definitely not close to the strong - imagine if there is a war and you can't build a car yourself, what will be the consequences? And there is no website like Taobao, but it will definitely not affect the survival of the country!

This time, the country decided to open up the automobile industry to introduce foreign advanced technology to support and improve the level of the domestic automobile industry, this vision is good, but it is inevitably used by some people who are interested.

No, before the final decision was made, some people had already contacted foreign car manufacturers and wanted to cooperate with domestic manufacturers.

And any deal that exists is greasy, there will always be a conspiracy. Those foreign manufacturers are not stupid one by one, cooperation can be, but the key technology will never be given to you, especially engine technology, only under the pretext that the domestic production level is not good, but also in its own country production, and then transported into the country for assembly, poor domestic car manufacturers are all reduced to assembly workshops, in vain to help foreign manufacturers make money.

This situation was expected by Wu Tian, but it didn't matter if he took care of it, even if Wu Tian couldn't manage it, and at this juncture, Wu Tian would not risk offending the big and small forces behind those brokers.

But the problem is that Wu Tian heard that Professor Wang had also co-opted a rice automobile company and was ready to let it cooperate with Mingzhu Automobile Group.

Hearing the news, Wu Tian immediately flew over from the capital and went to Mingzhu first, but learned that Professor Wang had gone to the capital for a meeting and would not come back until two days. Wu Tian was too lazy to toss, so he came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to inspect, and met Mr. Ma by the way.

It's a pity that this meeting made Wu Tian very disappointed, it's a pity that he obviously wanted him to keep a little more shares, but he was so blind, so don't blame us for covering all the rich fruits......

But the question is, if you really want to do Taobao by yourself, should the company register under your own name, or just hang it under someone else's name? Although this is enough to lay the opportunity for the richest man to be himself in the next ten years, and even the richest man in the world may be covered by himself, but in that case, his name is too big, but it will affect his father, and even he will be slandered by those netizens in the future as an official businessman......
