While Cao Shujie was playing with his son, the administrative office of Xuemeng Food Factory in Qingshi Town received a call from Hangzhou.

After He Ruijia connected the phone, she learned that the other party was from Ali's headquarters, and they invited Xuemeng Food Factory to participate in Ali's annual meeting this year.

The caller introduced himself as Daniel Zhang, the CEO of Taobao.

According to him, in addition to the company's employees to participate in the annual meeting, they only invited some former business partners this time, and the company with the first sales in 10 categories in this Double 11 shopping festival.

Ali's annual meeting is scheduled for December 22, the winter solstice, and there are two weeks to go.

Daniel Zhang hopes that Mr. Cao Shujie, the founder of Xuemeng Food Factory, can visit.

And the other party also said that they would arrange someone to send Mr. Cao Shujie an invitation to the annual meeting later.

As for how the other party knew that the person behind the Taobao store of Xuemeng Fruit Store was Cao Shujie, for Ali, this was not a big problem at all.

In other words, there is still a big gap between Xuemeng Food Factory and Ali at this stage, and it is so big that Xuemeng Food Factory may not be able to catch up.

After answering the call, He Ruijia thought about it for a while and called Cao Shujie.

After waiting for Cao Shujie to answer the phone, He Ruijia relayed all the information about the call he had just received from Daniel Zhang to Cao Shujie.

"Xiao He, the caller is called Daniel Zhang?" Cao Shujie asked her.

He Ruijia affirmed this again, and she told Cao Shujie that the other party introduced herself as the CEO of Taobao.

"Okay, I got it." Cao Shujie said.

After ending this call, Cao Shujie really did not expect Daniel Zhang to call him and invite him to Ali's annual meeting.

I didn't expect him to meet each other in this way.

For Daniel Zhang, Cao Shujie has some understanding.

As far as he knows, the current Taobao Double 11 Shopping Festival was first proposed by Daniel Zhang in 09, and the other party will be the designated successor of Lao Ma in a few years.

He can be designated as the successor by Lao Ma, and he must have the ability.

After thinking about it, Cao Shujie still decided to go to see Ali's annual meeting when the time comes, maybe he can meet more bigwigs and learn from each other's advantages, although this has no direct effect on the development of their company, but who can guarantee that he will not have a good fate at Ali's annual meeting.

Cheng Xiaolin was changing her son's diapers next to her, and when she saw her husband answering the phone, she was a little nervous and asked him what happened.

"Xiao He called me just now and said that Ali's headquarters invited me to go to Hangzhou on the 22nd of this month to attend their annual meeting." Cao Shujie said to his wife.

"You mean someone from Taobao invited you to go? Why? Cheng Xiaolin asked her husband.

Cao Shujie said: "What else? It is one of the 10 categories of our company's sales volume in this Double 11 shopping festival. ”

"If you didn't have this result, you think people would look for us?" Cao Shujie knew this, he didn't float.

Cheng Xiaolin nodded, she also felt that it was difficult for a large company like Taobao to be interested in their factory.

"I heard that Taobao is listed abroad, with a market value of hundreds of billions?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her husband.

Seeing Cao Shujie nodding, and then telling him the details of Taobao's listing in the eastern United States, Cheng Xiaolin couldn't help but sigh: "They are really amazing, when will we be able to do this?" ”

"Wife, your idea is a bit vulgar, why do we have to do what they do? Aren't we fine now? Cao Shujie said.

Cheng Xiaolin gave him a blank look, and then said, "You know I didn't mean that!" ”

"I understand, you are talking about the company's influence, but our company's influence is also very powerful, the next step is to further expand our production capacity, the radiation will be wider, the influence is naturally greater, you can rest assured." Cao Shujie is full of confidence.

Xuemeng Food Factory did not dare to say that it would take off, but Cao Shujie understood that as long as it followed the current path steadily, it would become bigger and stronger in the future and become a benchmark enterprise in the industry.

"Shujie, you don't have to think too much, even if it's always like this, it doesn't matter if it's stagnant, anyway, we don't lack money, the bigger the company is, the more tired it is." Cheng Xiaolin said so.

Cao Shujie smiled and didn't distinguish anymore.

Ali's annual meeting was held on the 22nd, and Cao Shujie remembered that it was the winter solstice, and they were quite good at choosing the day.

"Wife, will you go then?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin wanted to go, but after thinking about it for a while, she still pointed to her son Cao Yirui and shook her head and said, "Forget it, I still won't go, if I follow you to the Ali annual meeting again, who will take care of Ruirui?" ”

This is a very real problem, Cao Yirui, who is only 6 months old now, is not at all her mother-in-law or a nanny can take care of her independently.

Cheng Xiaolin must take care of it at all times.

On a formal occasion like Ali's annual meeting, is it possible that Cheng Xiaolin will hold her son into the venue again?

When her son Cao Yirui was hungry and wanted to feed, Cheng Xiaolin went to find a temporary 'pregnancy and baby room'?

It's unrealistic when you think about it.

Mengmeng wanted to go, and she asked her father if he could take her there.

Cao Shujie didn't think about it, and directly agreed: "Mengmeng, do you really want to go with me?" We can't be fooled. ”

"Dad, I'll go!" Meng Meng said neatly.

She speaks with a cheerful energy.

Cao Shujie was very satisfied: "Okay, I'll take you there, and I'll ask your teacher for leave in two days." ”

"Whoever doesn't go when the time comes, it's a puppy."

Cheng Xiaolin thinks that her husband took Mengmeng to Ali's annual meeting, is it too unrigorous?

After she expressed this concern, Cao Shujie scoffed: "If they don't let Mengmeng go, then I won't go either." ”

"They invited me because our factory has reached the standard this year, wife, do you understand?"

Cheng Xiaolin thought for a while, and then stopped asking this question.

Her husband is right, if Xuemeng Food Factory is not up to standard, the other party will not invite them at all.

On the morning of the second day, Cao Shujie saw a message from his daughter's QQ class group that he was in class normally today.

Seeing that there was still a lot of snow on the road, Cao Shujie drove his dad's Volvo XC90 and took Mengmeng to the town's central primary school.

He always felt that his GL8 was going to be a little worse when it came to dealing with this particular road situation.

After driving the car he bought for his father on the road, Cao Shujie had a feeling, stable!

Exceptionally stable.

Driving his GL8, there is a risk of skidding in these conditions.

But Cao Shujie drove the car he bought for his father, and he didn't feel it at all.

This made Cao Shujie can't help but think of buying an off-road vehicle.

He also asked Mengmeng, is grandpa comfortable in this car?

"It's comfortable, it's tall and big, and it's still far away, I think it's good," Meng Meng said.

Cao Shujie asked seemingly casually: "Then Dad also bought an off-road vehicle, what do you think?" ”

"Dad, what kind of vehicle is the dirt bike?" Meng Meng was a little puzzled.

Cao Shujie patted the car and told his daughter that it was something like this.

"Do you still have any money?" Meng Meng asked her father.

This question stopped Cao Shujie.

He still has more than 400 million cash in his card, not counting these cash, he still has more than 3,000 lots of Moutai stocks and more than 30,000 bitcoins.

The profits on the factory side are also very good, how can you call it rich?

Cao Shujie feels that many companies larger than Xuemeng Food Factory are not necessarily richer than him.

But if you simply compare the influence, this is also impossible to say.

"If I don't have any money, will you give it to me?" Cao Shujie asked his daughter.

Meng Meng nodded very seriously, and then told her father: "Give!" ”

"Dad, I have a lot of money." Meng Meng repeatedly emphasized this issue.

Cao Shujie knew that his daughter had some money, but most of his daughter's money was New Year's money and red envelopes given to him or his family, and the amount was limited after all.

It may be a lot compared to other children of the same age, but if you are buying a car, it is far worse.

"You can save it, Dad can buy it himself." Cao Shujie said to his daughter.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of the town's central elementary school.

When they came, there were a lot of parents here who had just sent their children to school.

The east-west road in front of the school was directly blocked, and it was very difficult to drive.

Some unconscious parents simply ignore the traffic coming and going from east to west and cross the road directly from the opposite side of the road, as if they think others dare not hit them.

When Cao Shujie saw this situation, he also frowned, he felt that he should make a suggestion to the traffic police team to install two sets of traffic lights here, otherwise if it keeps going like this, something will happen sooner or later.

As for whether the traffic police will take his suggestion and install traffic lights near the school gate, Cao Shujie thinks they will consider it carefully.

If nothing else, the person who made the suggestion was him Cao Shujie.

The road conditions are not good, and there are too many parents who are sending their children in front, and the car really can't drive, so Cao Shujie directly found a nearby place to stop the car, and took her daughter's hand and walked towards the school gate.

Seeing his daughter enter the campus, Cao Shujie turned around and walked towards the parking place, and then drove to the company.

After coming to the factory, as soon as Cao Shujie entered the office, He Ruijia came to look for him.

He Ruijia was followed by a young man.

"Boss, this is Mr. Chai Wenshu who was sent by Ali headquarters to send you an invitation letter." He Ruijia said to Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie really didn't expect the other party to come so quickly.

Daniel Zhang just called yesterday, and the people on the other side arrived at their company this morning!

He looked at the young man in front of him and guessed that the other party should not be more than 30 years old, but he looked stable overall.

After seeing him, the young man took out a gilded invitation letter from his bag, with Ali Group written on the front.

"Hello Mr. Cao, this is our invitation letter that Mr. Zhang specially told me to hand over to you."

"We Mr. Zhang asked me to say sorry to you, he has some important things that he can't get out of, and he can't personally come over to invite you to Ali's annual meeting, Mr. Zhang said that after Mr. Cao arrives at Ali's headquarters, he will personally apologize to you." This young man named Chai Wenwen relayed the words that Daniel Zhang conveyed to Cao Shujie, and finished speaking in 1510.

Cao Shujie didn't know if Daniel Zhang said these words, but the other party's attitude made him feel very comfortable.

He asked Chai Wenwen, "You came here yesterday?" ”

When seeing Chai Wenwen nodding, Cao Shujie had to sigh that these large multinational companies are indeed doing far better than ordinary small companies in some aspects.

According to Chai Wenwen, after receiving Daniel Zhang's assignment yesterday, he set off with an invitation letter to Cao Shujie, took a high-speed train from Hangzhou to Yiling City that night, and took a taxi from Yiling City to Qingshi Town overnight, just so that he could personally hand over the invitation letter to Cao Shujie this morning.

"Brother Chai hasn't eaten yet, has he?" Cao Shujie asked him.

Chai Wenwen had a simple breakfast.

As soon as he finished his polite service, he heard Cao Shujie say: "You must not have tasted our beef soup here, Xiao He, you take Brother Chai to Fuxing Hotel for some food." ”

After He Ruijia went out with Chai Shushu, Cao Shujie opened the invitation letter that Chai Shushu had just handed him, and it was written that Alibaba Group sincerely invited Mr. Cao Shujie, the founder of Xuemeng Food Factory, to attend the annual meeting of Ali Group at 18:00 on the evening of December 22, 2015.

The names of Daniel Zhang and Lao Ma are signed underneath.

When he saw these two signatures, Cao Shujie had a playful smile on his face.

"It's really interesting."

Ali's annual meeting, Cao Shujie is definitely going to take a look, he wants to feel the gap between their company and the other party.

The invitation clearly stated that 5 other people could be brought, and Cao Shujie was wondering who to bring over besides him and Mengmeng.

Shi Jingxiu, senior manager of the production department, is going over.

Wang Zhifeng, the manager of the human resources department, can also go over.

Who else?

Cao Shujie is considering the issue of this candidate.

It is nonsense to go to this kind of company to participate in the annual meeting of the other party and say that it follows the other party to learn their production process and quality control.

It is more about learning the corporate culture of the other party and seeing the management ideas of the other party.

For the remaining places, Cao Shujie never thought about who to take.

But it didn't prevent him from calling Shi Jingxiu and Wang Zhifeng over first, telling them in advance, and letting them make arrangements.

When Shi Jingxiu and Wang Zhifeng came to Cao Shujie's office, they heard Cao Shujie personally tell them that they were going to Hangzhou to attend Ali's annual meeting on the day of the winter solstice on the 22nd.

Both of them were a little confused.

They are not ordinary people from the outside world, because of the close sales correlation between the company and Taobao Double 11 Shopping Festival, they have a better understanding of the scale and situation of Alibaba, and they never expected that the other party would invite them to each other's annual meeting.

After coming back to their senses, the mood of the two fluctuated greatly.

As for the boss taking the two of them to Ali's annual meeting, they said that it was fake that they were not excited.

They also asked Cao Shujie what preparations need to be made in advance?

Then I heard Cao Shujie tell them to make it clear to their families and make arrangements for their families and companies.

According to Cao Shujie's estimate, they come and go for almost 3~4 days, no more than a week, not too long, in fact, there are not so many things to prepare.

Shi Jingxiu and Wang Zhifeng both assured that they would make relevant arrangements.

Shi Jingxiu also asked who else was going with them.
