Chapter 497 - Honorary Partner
Although Lu Chong and Ma Jun's location was located in a corner of the banquet hall, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were paying attention to the actions of the two at this time.
The handshake between the two immediately reached the eyes of these caring people, some showed thoughtful expressions, and some frowned and pondered, but even the most daring people could not guess that in the short period of time just now, the two had already negotiated a deal involving more than one billion, and even tens of billions in the future.
"I guess we can get back to mobile devices now, right? ”
After the initial agreement was reached, Lu Chong was not prepared to discuss the issue of financing in depth, but instead turned the topic back to the mobile phone that the two had talked about earlier.
Ma Jun was a little surprised.
"Don't you first ask me about the agreement I signed with SoftBank? Mr. Lu, you won't tell me that all you want to buy Alibaba is cooperation on the mobile device!"
Lu Chong shrugged.
"Under Alibaba's partnership system, the right to speak on the board of directors is not decided by equity, but by Alibaba's real management power, which I will respect. ”
"And the agreement between you and SoftBank is nothing more than that when the company's growth rate is maintained at a certain level, it needs to support you unconditionally. One, I have no intention of using this right, and second, to get to the point, at least ten years from now, mobile devices are what we need most urgently. Mr. Ma, I'm a pragmatic person!"
A gleam flashed in Ma Jun's eyes, the agreement between him and Japan's SoftBank had always been a secret, but Lu Chong broke it.
The partnership system is the biggest trump card for Ma Jun to control Ali, and Ali's partners are elected from within Ali except for Ma Jun and Cai Chongxing, who are permanent partners.
In short, all Ali partners are from within Alibaba, and all of them can be regarded as Ma Jun's descendants. As long as Ali has always adhered to the partnership system, with Ma Jun's personal charm and prestige within the company, he will never have to worry about losing power.
Even if the shares he has in hand occupy an absolute disadvantage!
Ma Jun glanced at Lu Chong deeply, it seems that Lu Chong has been studying Ali for more than a day or two.
"Mr. Lu, why didn't you appear in front of me last year?" Ma Jun's words carried deep regret.
Just this year, SoftBank and three other investment banks increased the capital of Alibaba by 80 million US dollars, and if Lu Chong appeared before this 80 million US dollar capital increase, he would only need to redeem the equity owned by SoftBank at a price of less than 300 million.
The extra 1.2 billion can already do too much for Ali today.
Lu Chong smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Ma, it seems that you still don't know much about me, don't say last year, even in the first half of this year, I was still serving in the army, how can I enter in advance?"
Ma Jun's face showed emotion.
It's not that he doesn't know Lu Chong's experience, in fact, since today's stunning appearance on Huaxia Weibo, no one in the IT industry in China knows Lu Chong's experience well.
He retired from the army in May, won nearly 100 million prizes in the lottery in June, and then invested in Huaguo, a blog that was in financial difficulties, and created such an amazing work as Huaxia Weibo.
Not only that, this guy is also the founder of "The Voice of China", and he himself is an entertainment superstar who is now popular all over the world, and he even has the title of an American people's superhero!
Ma Jun has always felt that his experience can be regarded as a legend, but compared to Lu Chong, he simply feels like an office worker!
It was Lu Chong's dazzling resume that made Ma Jun unconsciously forget his identity and forget that this was a young man who had only retired from the army three months ago!
And this time, Lu Chong has played a bigger trick, I believe that with Lu Chong's investment in Ali and the redemption of Ali's equity from Japanese and American capital, the whole country will fall for this young man again!
"Mr. Lu, speaking of partners, as the largest investor in the future, are you interested in having a partner status in Alibaba?"
Ma Jun's eyes shone with a strange look, making it impossible to see what he really thought in his heart.
Lu Chong smiled and pointed at Ma Jun and said, "Old horse, old horse, you are still guarding against me!
Ma Jun's face suddenly became a little ugly.
He can have the confidence to control Ali all the time, relying on the partnership system, and his biggest weapon to influence Ali's partners is his personal charm and business methods.
But Lu Chong, a young man like a darling of heaven, has a personal charm that is not inferior to him, and a vision to see the future, if he becomes a partner......
"But I want to add the word honor before the partner, it is my Lu Chong's honor to be able to be in the company of a group of people like you!" Without waiting for Ma Jun to think about it more, Lu Chong had already given him a reassurance.
"Mr. Lu has won the award, and it is our honor to be recognized by a handsome man like you. Then, please allow me to add the word eternal in front of the honor, and no matter what the future holds, your name will always be with Ali!"
Ma Jun is really relieved this time, honorary partner, this is indeed the best positioning for Lu Chong. Not only acknowledging his importance to Ali's future, but not worrying that he will meddle in the affairs of the group, as for the word permanent, it is an honor anyway, isn't it?"
Of course, Lu Chong has no opinion, the permanent honorary partner, standing outside the Ali system, does not need to invest too much thought into the business of Ali Group, but can share the glory of Ali to the greatest extent, which is the best choice for Lu Chong.
"Mr. Lu, please allow me to take the liberty of asking one last question, where did the funds that were invested in Ali come from?"
Lu Chong's investment in Huaxia Weibo relied on the bonus of nearly 100 million yuan before, and now Ali needs more than a billion or even tens of billions.
If you kill Ma Jun, you won't believe that Lu Chong can raise such a large amount of money in such a short period of time with his own strength, who is the person behind him?
Lu Chong knew that if he didn't make this question clear, there would always be a thorn in Ma Jun's heart.
But he really doesn't have anything particularly good to say about the origin of the funds, and the world of the supernatural is something that even Ma Jun, an ordinary person with the strongest mind, can't understand at all.
"All I can tell you is that this is an absolutely safe and absolutely clean amount of money, and the most important thing is that the person behind the money will never appear in front of you. So, you can treat this fund as if it were my own, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
Ma Jun stared at Lu Chong's eyes tightly before he smiled.
"I believe in you!"
They are all heroes, and they are sympathetic to each other!
