Chapter 438

A hotel in China.

"Mr. Ma, we have all gone to more than 20 banks, and none of them is willing to give us loans! Nowadays, there is not much money left on the company's account. Even if the employees don't get paid, we can't hold on for two months! "

On the sofa against the wall sat a thin, strange looking middle-aged man. He is Ma Yun from taobao.com in Hangzhou. After hearing the words, he frowned and said slowly: "it seems that the road of the bank is not feasible. We can only find another way!"

"Mr. Ma, what can you do?" The man continued. He is an employee of Ma Yun. His name is Cai Chongxin. He looks like Wen Qing and wears a pair of black framed glasses. He serves as CFO chief financial officer. He used to work for a German investment company with an annual salary of more than $700000. As a result, he was convinced by Ma Yun's three inch eloquence. He actually came all the way to join Ma Yun, and took only 500 yuan a month to help Ma Yun register his company. Only with his arrival can the company really operate in a standardized way.

Ma Yun pondered for a while and said, "try Lenovo tomorrow!"

"Association?" Cai Chongxin nodded and said, "Lenovo's performance is good. They should be rich..."

……

The next day, Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin came to Lenovo.

After being informed by the receptionist, Liu Chuanzhi, CEO of Lenovo, met them.

In the office, three people introduced themselves briefly.

Liu Chuanzhi stares at Ma Yun with great interest and says with a smile: "you are ma Yun who is the yellow page of China!"

"Yes, Mr. Liu."

"Ha ha, I've heard about you for a long time. Chinese yellow pages are doing well." Liu Chuanzhi said with a smile.

"I don't dare... Compared with Lenovo, Chinese yellow pages are nothing at all!" Ma Yun shook his head.

Liu Chuanzhi laughs twice and says, "please have a seat. Don't make yourself at home."“ Oh, Secretary Wang, two glasses of water for Mr. Ma and Mr. Cai! "

"Yes, Mr. Liu." A female secretary went to pour water.

At this time, Liu Chuanzhi sat on the chair, turned his head and looked at Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin, and said with a smile, "this time you come to visit me, what must be the matter?"

"That's right. You can't do anything without going to the three treasures hall." Ma Yun nodded and said, "well, Mr. Liu, I started a company in Hangzhou. You know, generally speaking, the biggest difficulty for startups is capital. So, we're here to ask Lenovo to invest in us! "

Liu Chuanzhi pondered for a moment and asked, "what's the name of the company you founded? What do you do? "

"Taobao, an e-commerce website!"

"E-commerce website?" Liu Chuanzhi was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Ma, 8848 website is also doing e-commerce website, and the development is very good. I'm afraid it's not easy for you to compete with it. Moreover, foreign Nicholas international e-commerce companies have entered the Chinese market, the competition is very fierce

On hearing this, Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin immediately beat the drum in their hearts. Liu Chuanzhi is obviously not optimistic about Taobao. At this time, Ma Yun said to Liu Chuanzhi: "competition is fierce, but this is China. Compared with Nicholas international e-commerce company, we have more local advantages!"

"What about 8848? They have developed better than you Liu Chuanzhi said with a faint smile on his face.

Ma Yun is full of confidence, said: "although they are better than us now, but I believe that Taobao can exceed 8848!"

Liu Chuanzhi can't help shaking his head. It's clear that 8848 has become the representative of China's Internet e-commerce, while Taobao is silent and anonymous. However, Ma Yun's words don't pay any attention to his opponent, which is arrogant! At that time, Liu Chuanzhi's impression of him immediately declined.

"Mr. Ma, do you come to Lenovo for financing this time?" Liu Chuanzhi's light way.

"Yes, Mr. Liu!" Ma Yun nodded and said confidently, "if your company can invest in Taobao, I can guarantee that you will never regret the future profits!"

Hearing Ma Yun's words, Liu Chuanzhi's mouth rose slightly and began to smile: "ha ha, Mr. Ma, it must be a very profitable investment to invest in Taobao. Unfortunately, in recent years, Hongnian technology company has launched low-cost computers, which has greatly affected Lenovo and led to insufficient funds. So, at present, we don't have enough money to invest in Taobao. I'm really sorry! "

When Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin heard this, their faces were not very good-looking. Naturally, they could hear Liu Chuanzhi's words, and they were obviously shirking them. With such a large Chinese market, Lenovo has made a lot of money even under the influence of Hongnian technology. As China's largest computer manufacturer, how can it be without money? What's more, the other side refused without putting forward the specific amount.

Leave if you don't agree!

Ma Yun's heart is also very proud, you are not willing to give me investment today, I want you to regret in the future!!!

Ma Yun took the lead to stand up from the stool, Cai Chongxin saw him like this, also immediately stood up.

"Well, Mr. Liu, if there's any trouble, we'll leave now!" Ma Yun said.

"What's the hurry? Drink a glass of water before you go. The secretary just brought it." Liu Chuanzhi pointed to the female secretary and said with a smile.

Ma Yun is not in the mood to drink, "thank you, we are not thirsty..."

With that, Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin quickly walked out of Liu Chuanzhi's office.

Not long after that, Yang Yuanqing, vice president of Lenovo, came in.

"Mr. Liu, what do they do? When I just went out, I didn't look very well... "

Liu Chuanzhi said with a smile: "ha ha, that thin and ugly guy is Ma Yun. They started an e-commerce company and wanted to find financing from Lenovo. "

"It looks like you turned them down!"

"Of course!" Liu Chuanzhi shakes his head in a funny way and says, "ha ha, Ma Yun, I look like a liar. He is arrogant and arrogant. He doesn't pay attention to 8848 website at all. He also says that investing in Taobao will make Lenovo a huge profit. In my opinion, if we really invest in them, the money will be wasted! "

……

Lenovo gate.

Ma Yun stops and stops.

"Mr. Ma, we can't get enough funds in China. We can contact foreign venture capital companies. I worked in German investment bank before, and I have accumulated some contacts and got to know many executives of international venture capital companies! " Cai Chongxin sighed and said to Ma Yun.

Ma Yun was silent. After half a ring, he said, "well, after this trip to Beijing, if we still can't get the investment, we can only contact foreign venture capital companies..."

"Well!" Cai Chongxin nodded in response.

"Let's go and have a look at Netease. Companies like Lenovo are reluctant to invest in us because they are not Internet companies, so they do not understand the Internet and do not understand us. Netease, as a well-known portal website in China, may recognize us more. "

"Mr. Ma, are you going to seek financing from Netease?"

"Yes, that's right."
