"You're in a really good place, big landlord!" Ant City ushered in a new guest, who is also an old acquaintance, a thin but powerful Ma Yun.

"The big landlord doesn't dare to be, I heard that you took a piece of land in the Xixi wetland, and I have always heard that there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the closest place to heaven is Xixi." Chen Bo was not so childish, and enthusiastically took him to visit the entire park, stepping on the Segway balance bike, and walking freely with his body forward, which was very comfortable.

"There is also a saying that the beauties of the world come out of Suzhou and Hangzhou, but there is also a unique appearance like me." Ma Yun laughed to himself.

"Men never win by their appearance, the more others think you are ugly, the more you can lower your defense, but I have never felt this way about you." Chen Bo said with a smile, he admired Mr. Ma's flickering skills, and with a unique southern accent, it was easy to brainwash people.

"Looks like you're very defensive of me." Ma Yun used laughter to hide his inner thoughts, who wouldn't?

"Only the strong make people defensive, don't they?"

Ma Yun nodded and didn't say anything more, Ali's development is good, but it is no longer on the same level as Ant Search, which has traveled all over the world and is valued at more than 10 billion US dollars. When he came to Silicon Valley this time, he visited the branch here, and Ali was cowering in a corner of the Flemish area and was not eye-catching, and even drowned in the sea of Silicon Valley technology companies.

Second, of course, it is to seek wealth, although Ali has SoftBank, but it is still a drop in the bucket compared to Ma Yun's ambitions, and he must take advantage of this Internet spring to get more take-off capital.

And when drowsiness comes, someone will send a pillow, and Yang Zhiyuan, who can't find the acquisition of ants, will set his sights on other fields, Taobao can make the C2C giant eBay jump, and now it is like a lost dog, losing a good start.

In addition, the two had already met when they first arrived in Yanjing in 97, and this time they were still old people, so they were directly invited. The reason is that it is still the same old routine, that is, to play.

He is the east, Chen Bo is the accompaniment, not only Ma Yun, but also Ding Lei of Net E.

There's a seaside golf course next to the orchard in Ant City, between Yahoo and Ant Search.

"Brother Sanshi seems to have been very carefree recently, wide and fat." Chen Bo didn't forget to tease this old friend, although they rarely met, but after all, the favor was not over yet.

"Wherever there is, where there is, men are blessed when they get married." Ding Lei shook the pot with a smile.

"I'm not blessed." Ma Yun spread out his hands, signaled his shriveled figure, and overturned Ding Lei's fallacy on the spot.

"You and I are both thoughtful people." Chen Bo said, "You see that the current stock price of NetE has risen all the way, which makes people both red and jealous. ”

"You are an e-commerce giant, a search overlord, laughing at me for a portal, are you embarrassed?" Ding Lei is also an unforgiving master, and he can't say anything about the bitterness in his heart, although a speed fox is a little powerless, but there are also Xilang and Tencent catching up, so he doesn't dare to take it lightly.

The three of them were teasing each other, and Yang Zhiyuan, the chief of Yahoo over there, had already arrived at the court, and they were greeting each other enthusiastically, almost forgetting that today's business was actually here to play.

After changing their equipment, a row of caddies was already standing behind them, ready to serve.

"We don't know how to fight, we've never touched." Ma Yun and Ding Fatzi made a difficult mistake at this time, although they are now considered successful people, they don't have so much free time to play golf, and this sport is still very niche in China.

"When I first came to the United States, I didn't, I still learned from Mr. Yang, and although it's still not good, I can occasionally make a birdie." In front of them, Chen Bo became a proficient in this way.

"Originally, I asked you to come and chat, and playing ball is secondary, since you are not familiar with each other, we might as well have a simple one. How about hitting farther directly than anyone? Yang Zhiyuan's personality is already easy-going, and when he saw that they were embarrassed, he didn't force it, but took the initiative to propose an alternative compromise plan.

They are really not good at putting hole-in-one, but if they even retreat from this simple distance, they are really cowardly, and they all agree immediately.

In the strange eyes of the caddies, they inserted the ball T and hit it one by one, and the four big men now seemed to be kindergarten children.

As a result, Ma Yun, who was the thinnest in stature, came out on top, swinging a distance of 300 meters with one shot, and everyone else was about 260 meters, which made the old ball addict Yang Zhiyuan a little embarrassed.

The four of them then walked around the lawn, blowing the warm sea breeze and imagining the future vision of the Internet.

Chen Bo is half the master, Ding Lei is purely here for vacation, the real protagonists are only Yang Zhiyuan and Ma Yun, many topics are also around the two of them, in addition to playing ball, they also had a dinner together, and the atmosphere ended the party very harmoniously.

As for the theme? Chen Bo had already forgotten about it, and it didn't have much to do with him anyway.

Dingdong and Taobao are still competitive in China, and it is not easy to break the barrier in the middle, and Ma Yun was arrogant and did not take the initiative to talk to him about financing, of course, he would not be the first to mention it, which is a rare tacit understanding.

However, in the afternoon of the next day, Ma Yun came to the ant city again to find him straight to the point

"Yang Zhiyuan wants to invest in Alibaba, what do you think?"

"You already have the answer in your heart, why did you come here to ask me, not to mention that it has nothing to do with me." Although Chen Bo didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, he knew that he had already agreed to this financing in his heart.

"I want to make a deal with you." Ma Yun said directly.

"Let's see." Chen Bo said with interest.

"If Yahoo Huaxia is finally taken down, I want to replace Dingdong with a search business."

"Why?" Chen Bo did not respond directly, but asked rhetorically.

"A search only a dozen points of the market, in terms of influence can not compare with Baidu and can not win ants, for me only the search engine technology in the station is still a little useful to me. I've been paying attention to Dingdong's C2C, and your focus is not there, and the current development is not in line with expectations. In addition, Alibaba hopes to get 40% of its revenue through overseas markets, but now it is only 4%. ”

Chen Bo touched the stubble on his chin and nodded, Ma Yun said these things are still very pertinent, and Dingdong is now like a chicken rib. Sell it, right? After all, it was developed from the beginning when he was repairing a small computer, and there is an emotional factor in it, so keep it, right? There was no improvement, and he didn't have that much time and energy to manage.

Therefore, it has created an embarrassing situation that the food is tasteless and it is a pity to abandon it.

"Alibaba's goal is to get 40% of its revenue from overseas markets, but now it's only 4%. Although I have given up on a search, can ant search help me get more? What do you think. ”

"Mr. Ma's abacus is so good, but you have to get Yahoo in your hands first." Chen Boyan said that giving up Dingdong is just a pain, and it does not mean that he wants to give up e-commerce, at least the excellent mall is still in his hands, otherwise the ant payment will be in vain? Nebula Express also has to be split out for development, and it is about to set up its own cargo fleet, so it can no longer be tied together.

"Wait for my news." Ma Yun walked away again like a gust of wind.

Before his news came, he waited for the buyer Yang Zhiyuan to ask him to go to a Cantonese restaurant in San Francisco for tea.

"I'm going to invest in Alibaba, what do you think?" The same question between the two people made him feel a little headache, the transaction between you has something to do with me? Besides, we are all competitors now, so if you ask me so openly, aren't you afraid that I will stumble?

"Don't think about it, I believe in your character, so I talked to you about this." Yang Zhiyuan saw through his careful thinking and said.

"The teacher's decision is naturally good, and I don't have any opinions." Chen Bo replied directly, Yang Zhiyuan is also a teacher and friend to him, since the last time he broke it, he has been commensurate with a teacher and a student, and in the Internet industry, he is worthy of this teacher.

"You're getting more and more bored, getting more and more old-fashioned." Yang Zhiyuan was a little dissatisfied.

"Then I'll tell you the truth, I'm not optimistic about the previous acquisitions, but only this decision will definitely receive super high returns in the future. Let's talk about the person first, although Ma Yun, you came into contact earlier than me, but you may not know more deeply than me. This man has ambition and means. He's not even as good at programming as I am, but he's a strategist and a spiritual leader. Chen Bo saw that it was not good to fool around any longer, so he picked it up and said.

"Oh? You have such a high opinion of him. ”

"I think he formed a West Lake Sword Game for the first time, and I was messed up by mistake." Chen Bo recalled the past and couldn't help laughing, "Even if they are rivals now, they still respect each other, and he is ready to be invested, and he wants to use a search to exchange Dingdong with me." ”

"Then you really pity each other, and his evaluation of you is not much different."

"Some people see my perverseness, some people see my ability, and some people see my wealth, but the opponent can see my all!"

"Well said, the person who knows you is still your opponent, it seems that you will not be lonely in the future, and Yahoo can only be a foil for the two of you!"

Yang Zhiyuan got a satisfactory answer and returned, Chen Bo never understood the meaning of this meeting, his evaluation did not affect the transaction between the two, it was really insignificant.

Half a month later, a piece of news shocked Internet people all over the world.

Yahoo's $1 billion plus Yahoo Huaxia in exchange for a 40% stake in Alibaba, there are also several hidden clauses, such as the board of directors can buy back shares in the future, and Yahoo can also give up part of its shares in exchange for Alibaba's listing plan.

Immediately after Ali reached an agreement with Ant Search, Dingdong and Yahoo Yisou exchanged owners, one news made the world look sideways, and the other news aroused strong attention in China.
