Cao Shujie's stunned expression was only for a moment, he quickly came back to his senses and stretched out his hand to shake Ma Yun.

He saw a hint of approval in Jack Ma's gaze, which made him a little puzzled.

"Mr. Ma knows me?"

Ma Yun nodded, his eyes revealed his approval of Cao Shujie: "Mr. Cao, since last year's Taobao Double 11 Shopping Festival, the sales volume of your 'Xuemeng Fruit Store' ranked first in the sales list of leisure snacks, I have noticed your Xuemeng Food Factory." ”

"In my opinion, your Xuemeng Food Factory is not only a successful business case, but also a microcosm of the rural revitalization strategy."

"The value created by your company for the development of the rural economy is in line with the direction of the country's emphasis on the development of the agricultural economy."

Listening to Ma Yun's eloquent talk about his company, Cao Shujie really didn't expect Ma Yun to comment on his company like this.

This means that Xuemeng Food Factory has entered Ma Yun's sight?

Cao Shujie was still pondering, and suddenly heard Lao Ma say: "Mr. Cao, believe it or not, in my opinion, the success of Xuemeng Food Factory is not only the growth of sales figures, but also the fact that it drives the income growth of local farmers and promotes the branding and modernization of agricultural products. ”

Not to mention Cao Shujie, even the other people in the reception area didn't expect Lao Ma to praise such a young man as Cao Shujie, even to the point of valuing it.

They also looked at Cao Shujie seriously at this time, wanting to see the flowers from him.

But unlike Lao Ma, they didn't know anything about Cao Shujie before meeting Cao Shujie today.

While these people were thinking, Cao Shujie said solemnly: "Mr. Ma, your words make me feel very excited. I and all the staff of Xuemeng Food Factory will continue to work hard to find ways to make our company bigger and stronger, and to ensure that our growth can bring considerable benefits to more local people. “

Ma Yun smiled: "Mr. Cao, the development of Xuemeng Food Factory has been very stable, and I am also very optimistic about you." ”

After a pause, he added: "I can say that the country now attaches great importance to the development of the agricultural economy, and if your model can be replicated and promoted, it will be an improvement for the entire industry." ”

These words instantly reminded Cao Shujie of Wang Qinghui's expectations of him, which seemed to have the same effect.

After Lao Ma chatted with Cao Shujie for a while, he went to greet the others.

Daniel Zhang, who came with the old horse, was also busy greeting the rest of the people at this time.

Today, they invited the top 10 brand companies in the top 10 categories of sales during the Double 11 Shopping Festival, and they want to deepen cooperation with these brands.

Taobao is a platform, if you want to continue to grow bigger and stronger, and want to make this platform more valuable, you also need the support of more brands in the future.

When Lao Ma greeted the others, Lei Jun came over, and this time he became serious.

"Mr. Cao, I really didn't expect your company to be so valued by Mr. Ma, how about it, should your company continue to expand its scale and lack money? Need to invest? Lei Jun asked a few questions in a row.

This series of questions stunned Cao Shujie.

He never imagined that their factory would be able to attract 'venture capital'.

Seeing Lei Jun's serious face and not like a joke, Cao Shujie didn't know what to say.

"Mr. Lei, Xuemeng Food Factory is not short of money for the time being." Cao Shujie said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of disappointment immediately appeared on Lei Jun's face: "Oh, this is really not good news for me. ”

"But it doesn't matter, this cooperation can't be successful, we can find another opportunity to cooperate." Lei Jun said.

What else can Cao Shujie say?

But what Cao Shujie didn't expect was that just ten minutes later, Lei Jun asked him for the second time if Xuemeng Food Factory needed investment?

This made Cao Shujie feel a headache, he didn't expect Lei Jun to be so persistent.

"Mr. Lei, I won't tell you, Xuemeng Food Factory is indeed not short of money now."

He looked at Lei Jun and said very seriously: "I dare not say more, I can still make up hundreds of millions of funds." ”

Seeing that Cao Shujie didn't look like a joke, Lei Jun sighed, he didn't expect Cao Shujie to be so rich.

As for his idea of investing in Xuemeng Food Factory, it is not that Xuemeng Food Factory will develop by leaps and bounds, but that he thinks that Lao Ma values Xuemeng Food Factory, which must be reasonable.

It's just that he hasn't figured it out for a while.

But for Lei Jun, as long as there is a definite point in one thing, he doesn't mind taking risks.

Before you know it, Ali prepares a sumptuous lunch at the restaurant.

It is said that the chef who cooks in their company today is still the chef of Hangzhou Gang cuisine specially invited, in order to hold this year's annual meeting, Ali did not bleed, and Cao Shujie tasted the taste of the dish really good.

Mengmeng is usually a picky eater, she eats a lot today, after eating, she also wants her father to pack her a few things she likes to eat and take them back to the hotel, and eat them when she is hungry.

After Cao Shujie listened, he was very happy, and he also thought about going back to Daniel Zhang to ask who the chef was cooking today, and he specially went to visit and follow the two hands.

He felt that as long as Mengmeng ate well, it didn't matter if he spent a little more money.

The afternoon sun shines through the tall glass curtain wall and sprinkles on every inch of land in Xixi Park.

Cao Shujie and others followed Daniel Zhang through the uniquely shaped buildings, their eyes sometimes resting on the modern designs, and sometimes on the busy figures in the park.

During this time, they walked through the open office area and saw many employees working at ease, some taking a break in the lounge area, or discussing something while sipping coffee in the café.

Daniel Zhang said: "Ma Dong often told us that the office area is not only a place to work, but also a space for everyone to exchange ideas and relax. Alibaba's 'work-life balance' is a concept that we don't have to do to make any demands on how to work, as long as we can get the job done." ”

Cao Shujie nodded in agreement, and secretly thought to himself in his heart, maybe he could create such an atmosphere in Xuemeng Food Factory.

After turning around, they followed Daniel Zhang to the performance site of Ali's annual meeting.

It is a huge indoor stadium that has now been set up as a performance venue.

On stage, lights are staggered, sound equipment is readily available, and some staff members in gorgeous costumes are busy with the final rehearsal.

Cao Shujie found that there were several familiar faces standing in the corner of the stage.

That's a few of the top stars in the country.

They were memorizing the dance steps or tweaking the sounds, and everyone was engrossed in preparing for the evening's performance.

Cao Shujie doesn't chase stars, and no one in his family chases stars, otherwise he would go over to ask for an autograph from those celebrities he doesn't usually meet, or take a group photo.

Seeing this, Cao Shujie couldn't help but sigh that Ali's annual meeting was indeed very grand, and he could invite celebrities to join him by spending a little more money, but these people who came to the scene today really saw the great connections and influence of Ali.

Time passed minute by minute, and after Cao Shujie and they watched here for a while, they were taken by Daniel Zhang to rest elsewhere.

At five o'clock, they went to dinner again, and after dinner, they returned to the annual meeting again.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, the annual meeting party officially began.

Without warning, the lights on the stage instantly became dazzling, a burst of dynamic music sounded, and the atmosphere of the scene was pushed to a climax.

Cao Shujie and Mengmeng sat in the guest seat, and after a while, when the young female dancers on the stage began to perform the dance, he saw Mengmeng's eyes flashing with excitement, and his little hands were also holding his hands tightly: "Dad, the big sisters are dancing great!" ”

"yes, do you want to go up and perform?" Cao Shujie asked her.

But what Cao Shujie didn't expect was that Mengmeng directly shook her head and refused: "Dad, I don't want to go up to perform, I just like to watch the performance below." ”

At this time, Meng Meng seemed unusually calm when she spoke, not at all like what a child of her age could say.

Cao Shujie was also surprised when he heard Mengmeng's words.

"Why?" Cao Shujie asked her.

Then I heard his daughter say: "There's no why, I just like to watch performances, let them play whatever I want to see, how good it is!" ”

"Haha, the little guy has such a big breath, but I like it!" Lei Jun's voice came.

He said: "Mengmeng, your idea is right, people who have the ability should let others serve you." ”

Meng Meng narrowed her eyes with a smile and thanked Lei Jun: "Thank you, Uncle Lei." ”

"Eh, it's okay, when the next annual meeting is held over there, I will definitely call you and invite you to see what our company's annual meeting is like." Lei Jun said solemnly.

He really likes this little girl, from the first meeting to the present, Lei Jun found that this little guy is very spiritual.

He had never seen this spirituality in other children his age.

Mengmeng expressed her gratitude to Lei Jun again.

But she also muttered: "Uncle Lei, I don't have a mobile phone yet." ”

"Hey, that's not a problem, I'm the one who produces mobile phones, I'll give you a good one when I get back." Lei Jun began to promise again on the spot.

Cao Shujie refused again and again, but Lei Jun said that he gave it to Mengmeng and had nothing to do with Cao Shujie.

Meng Meng was happy, and thanked Lei Jun again.

The dance on stage continues, and the tension of the dance grows stronger.

Because they are all young female dancers, when they dance their bodies to show off their dancing skills, they are paired with gorgeous dance costumes, which instantly attracts the attention of most people in the audience and causes everyone to cheer.

But Lei Jun found that Cao Shujie, who was sitting not far from him, did not react much.

I was very curious, and asked Cao Shujie if this dance was not good-looking?

"Beautiful!"

"Is it because these dancers aren't pretty enough?" Lei Jun asked him again.

Cao Shujie couldn't make up his mind, he didn't know what Lei Jun wanted to say, but he still said very sincerely: "These dancers are indeed very beautiful, but they are not my dish." ”

"Haha, what Mr. Cao said is good, Mr. Cao is really temperamental!" Lei Jun gave Cao Shujie a thumbs up.

He said: "Mr. Cao, next time I have the opportunity to go to the capital, there are several dance troupes over there, I will take you to appreciate it." ”

"Good!" Cao Shujie should come down, and he didn't think much about it.

The performance on stage continues.

After this dance, another wave of people changed, and the second wave of dancers on stage looked younger and sexier.

The hot body, coupled with the simple style of dance clothes, instantly detonated the audience.

Even Mengmeng was attracted, she stood up and followed the gesture, and said that these dancing sisters were all good-looking.

"Dad, do you think these sisters are good-looking?" Mengmeng's eyes widened, and she asked her father innocently.

But Cao Shujie also turned his head to look at his daughter.

For a moment, his instinct kept him from answering.

always feels that Meng Meng is digging a hole for him.

This unfilial girl should really be thrown out directly.

When Lei Jun heard Mengmeng's question, he couldn't help laughing, and he also wanted to hear how Cao Shujie answered, but unfortunately Cao Shujie didn't play according to the routine.

He was a little disappointed and felt that Cao Shujie should really cooperate.

Meng Meng was also a little disappointed: "Dad, why don't you speak!" ”

"If I say something pretty, will you give your mother a little report when you get home?" Cao Shujie looks like I have seen through you a long time ago.

Meng Meng retorted with a snort, and said that her father was purely slandering her.

It's hard for you to understand how she has so many eyes at her age?

Lei Jun didn't expect this layer at first, but after listening to Cao Shujie picking on his daughter, he suddenly realized, and looked at Meng Meng with an incredible face.

When he found out that Meng Meng really admitted it sideways, at that moment, Lei Jun suddenly felt that this little girl was a little too smart.

But he still likes this little girl very much.

After all, the dumber the person, the less likable it is.

After the two dances in a row, the lights on the scene dimmed all of a sudden, and the voice of the host on the stage came: "Distinguished guests, friends of Ali, the next step will be shared by Ma Dong, the leader of the board of directors of Ali Group, for everyone to share Ali's development in the past year, let us applaud and welcome." ”

The next moment, warm applause rang out.

When I saw Ma Yun again, he had already changed his outfit, pedaling a pair of cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles, and wearing a gray Tang suit, quite a free and casual style, which was really comfortable.

Even Cao Shujie had to praise him when he saw him like this, and he was indeed very stylish.

But this outfit, if an ordinary person is allowed to wear it on such an occasion, I am afraid that he will be evaluated without knowing the general situation, and no one will even look at him.

It wasn't until Jack Ma's voice spread in the venue that the whole venue was completely quiet from the dance just now, and everyone listened carefully to Lao Ma's sharing of Alibaba's changes in 2015.
