Hangzhou, hot pot Xishi.
Ma Yun is very good at choosing places and specially chose one that Chen Yu likes.
Even if the hot pot Xishi is opened by Chen Yu's father, and Chen Yu eats hot pot every day, Ma Yun asks Chen Yu to come to the hot pot Xishi, Chen Yu is naturally in a good mood.
Of course, it didn't take much effort for Ma Yun to invite Chen Yu.
One is to invite, the other is to come. Ma Yun is just a phone call, and Chen Yu is coming.
"Mr. Ma, you invited me to the hot pot Xishi. Did I invite you or did you invite me?"
"Hahaha, whether I invite you or you invite me, I think it's OK."
When the two met, Ma Yun and Chen Yu chose a table for two.
Ma Yun and Chen Yu were not particularly famous at this time, and naturally not many people knew them.
So they are enjoying the delicious hot pot as ordinary diners.
"President Chen should have said that he would come to Hangzhou a few days in advance. As a landlord, I'd better make arrangements early."
Ma Yun is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang and doesn't eat spicy food. Chen Yu is from Jiangxi Province.
Therefore, hot pot is mandarin duck pot.
Pick the dishes you want to eat. They didn't talk about business. They had a meal first.
"Mr. Ma, you're welcome. I'll stay in Hangzhou for a few days and leave in a few days."
Chen Yuqian said modestly.
However, Ma Yun put down his chopsticks and sighed, it's over, it's over.
"President Chen seems to want to destroy Ali in a few days."
This is naturally a joke.
But although it's a joke, Ma Yun has got to the point.
"I also want to kill Ali in a few days, but I don't have the ability."
Since Ma Yun stopped eating, Chen Yu also put down his chopsticks.
Today is a treat, but they both know that it doesn't matter whether they eat or not.
"Mr. Chen, I've always appreciated you."
"Thank you."
"I think you are a genius."
"So is Mr. Ma."
"Yes, I always think I'm a genius, but I don't feel confident when I know you, President Chen."
Ma Yun smiled and said, "President Chen, do you like listening to stories?"
"Of course."
"Then tell us the story of Ali."
After sipping his tea, Ma Yun said, "President Chen, do you know why I founded Ali?"
"Why?"
"At first, I went to the United States and found the magic of the Internet, so I began to do China yellow pages. However, China Yellow Pages is obviously just a small business. Later, I found that it is very difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to do business in reality. Some have goods and can't find buyers, others can find buyers but have no sources of goods. Therefore, Alibaba was born."
Ma Yun talked about Ali's founding history.
Chen Yu listened quietly.
"However, Alibaba's initial model was B2B. Although it has achieved some development, I think the future trend is C2C, so I founded Taobao. However, C2C business is really difficult to do. I have done it for a long time, the market has not been much bigger, and we have lost a lot. Later, President Chen fooled us into B2C, so there was Taobao Mall. However, wait for me When I looked back, I found that President Chen's Huanyu department store had already left us Taobao aside. "
"It's my fault."
Chen Yu stretched out his hand and said that I didn't mean it.
Ma Yun continued: "of course, even so, I still think we have a chance. But when I know that President Chen has come to Hangzhou, I'm not afraid of President Chen's jokes. I can't sleep well these days."
After looking at Ma Yun's dark circles, Chen Yu nodded.
Ma Yun didn't brag. What he said is true.
But really, Chen Yu just listened to him as a story.
As Ma Yun said, this is just a story.
Moreover, the story is not finished, and the cow is still brewing.
Sure enough, after being honest with Ma Yun, Ma Yun began his performance: "President Chen, do you know what I regret most?"
"What is it?"
"Is the founder of Alibaba."
"Why?"
Chen Yu smiles.
"If I hadn't founded Alibaba, I should still be a teacher now. My life should be very comfortable, stable and enjoyable."
"The teacher is really safe."
"I've thought about not doing it many times."
Speaking of this, Ma Yun smiled faintly: "Although Alibaba is not doing well now, I have basically realized financial freedom. With this money, I can travel around the world. But... I am not such a person. Since I founded Alibaba, I haven't been paid for a month. I have never touched money. I don't like money. I'm not interested in money. Because I'm happiest when I take it for a month When I was a teacher for 91 yuan, I saved money every month because I knew I could buy a bike in a few more months... "
Chen Yuqiang will hold back his laughter.
Ma Yun continued with great seriousness: "but why am I still sticking to it for those small and medium-sized enterprises? I have a dream. I hope there is no difficult business in the world. All small and medium-sized enterprises can embark on their business path through Alibaba. I have worked hard for this dream. Even if I experience more setbacks, I have no regrets."
Miss Ma's eloquence is invincible.
Even if he is not as successful as in his previous life, his eloquence is also very encouraging.
Think about it.
Without this ability, how could eighteen Arhats be willing to work for him.
Even more amazing was Cai Congxin, a successful man with an annual salary of 5 million at that time.
But after joining Alibaba, he volunteered to take a symbolic monthly salary of 500 yuan.
"Let the world have no difficult business, this dream is good."
Chen Yu applauded.
Whether Mr. Ma is bragging or not.
This dream is really good.
"Let President Chen laugh."
Seeing that Chen Yu had a sense of identity, Ma Yun was delighted.
His purpose of seeing Chen Yu today is to win Chen Yu's favor.
"Of course, my dream is somewhat exaggerated for now, but in fact, we have been working in this direction. Moreover, I have also seen that our efforts have indeed brought great changes to many small and medium-sized enterprises. They sell their products all over the country through Taobao. Even in the future, they will sell their products all over the world. We will not only do Chinese life in the future I'm still doing business all over the world. "
"This is also the best for our consumers. Through us, consumers can buy the most complete and inexpensive products in China and even in the world. Imagine that in the next few years, once our products of small and medium-sized enterprises are on the shelves, they can enter any country in the world within 72 hours. However, the products of any country in the world are only available As soon as we place an order, whether it's Australian lobster or Italian wine, consumers can taste delicious within 72 hours... "
Chen Yu applauded again.
"Mr. Ma, I admire your dream."
"Thank you."
Ma Yun humbly expressed his thanks.
However, when Ma Yun finished, Chen Yu said, "Mr. Ma, it's my turn to tell a story now."
