Chapter 616

Business building, No. 99, Huaxing Road, West high tech Industrial Zone, Tiantang city.

Several founder executives of Alibaba, led by Jack Ma, walked out of the building quickly in the curious eyes of Alibaba employees.

Andy's team has driven into the canopy at the entrance of the venture building, and the black and shiny Maybach 62s stops steadily. Two cars in front and behind jump off the four puma bodyguards led by Joseph, which makes Jack and his team slightly surprised and stunned.

Maybach back door opened, a black improved cheongsam style short sleeve long skirt Li Xiaoying led to get out of the car, a smiling face standing beside the door, Andy 's tall figure and that young handsome face appeared in front of the public, let the people present cannot help but sigh.

"Hello, Mr. Smith. This is Jack Ma. Welcome to Ali." Jackie Ma, with a brilliant smile, came up and reached out to shake hands with Andy, who was smiling as well.

"Hello, Jack, you can call me Andy. Nice to meet you. It's also a great honor to be here in Ali. I'm also happy to have the honor to witness the rise of a great company with you." Andy's smile is very bright, and the standard Mandarin makes everyone sigh again. He looks at Jack Ma, who is only 166 cm tall and has a poor appearance. His first impression was very deep. Those eyes were very bright, sending out the light of wisdom. The eyes were smart, giving a very alert feeling.

Andy's words made Ali people, including Jackie Ma, feel more comfortable. Looking at this handsome foreigner, he was more pleasant and friendly. He was not arrogant or arrogant as they imagined. He looked at people through his nose. He was very cultured and could not help exclaiming that he was the son of the old family.

Then Jackie Ma was very happy to introduce his management team to Andy. Andy shook hands with everyone with a charming smile.

"Andy, please come inside." Jack Ma also accepted Andy's offer to call him by name instead of being too polite. In the process of communication with foreign tourists in West Lake, he not only learned the language, but also learned the foreign culture, so he would not feel strange and unaccustomed to dealing with foreigners at all.

"Thank you." Andy smiled and nodded, and walked into the business building side by side with Jack Ma. Along the way, although every Ali employee was curious about what big people were coming, and glanced at them from time to time, none of them stopped or talked together. They were very busy, in a hurry, and the festival was very fast.

In the conference room, Andy is very talkative or talkative with a straight face and a smile. He is very good at talking and talking. In Andy's opinion, he is not only an entrepreneur, a dreamer, but also a speaker.

Talk about Ali's entrepreneurship, dream, model, changes to society, economy and people, and the future of Ali...

It's voluble and attractive, and the point of view is very novel and advanced at the moment. But in the eyes of Andy, many of them are just Jack Ma's dreams. In Jack Ma's words, dreams still need to exist. What if they are realized?

Whether others believe in his dream or not, he will use his inborn self-confidence and his eloquence to make others believe that this dream may come true, which is very infectious.

Andy can't help but think of a comment on Jack Ma, "he sells dreams, but he is a doer. So you have a dream, he has money. "

Ali's people in the conference room secretly look at the young Andy Smith from time to time. They naturally know Jack Ma very well. However, seeing Andy Smith, a foreigner, doesn't have a trace of impatience. On the contrary, they listen very seriously. They smile all the time. It's really an elegant young gentleman. Moreover, they also learn some classic Chinese from Jack Ma It didn't show a blank look, and everyone didn't think Andy was pretending to be calm.

"Why? Andy, why did you decide to join Alibaba before it went public? You need to know that many foreign institutions are not optimistic about us, and even equate us with the synonym of fake and shoddy goods. Aren't you worried about investment failure?" Jack Ma's sudden question focused everyone's attention on Andy.

Andy knows that Jack Ma is trying to weigh himself. It seems very rude, but he doesn't care. He just smiles and says, "customer, Ali's concern for customer service is the main reason why I decide to invest. At the same time, it's also the important factor that I think Ali can defeat it in the battle with eBay.

EBay's resources are much larger than Ali's, but eBay's strategy is the idea of American academic MBA. As an MBA born student, every move of eBay can be accurately predicted.

Of course, the most important thing is that three years of free of charge for a certain treasure, and then three years plus three years of free. Such a strategy directly hit eBay's seven tricks. It's impossible for eBay to declare free. If it does, eBay's share price will plummet.

And the strategy of a treasure is actually to meet the needs of users in rabbit country. The users in rabbit country are totally different from the users in the United States. The users in the United States started to sell the things in the basement of their home on the Internet. But the users in rabbit country didn't have these things at all. Their demand is to go online and buy all kinds of new things they haven't seen before.So eBay is against the direct contact of users, but a treasure encourages users to contact, and even encourages users to communicate through e-commerce through software like Alibaba Wangwang.

Later payment and other products are launched because they meet the needs of users! The so-called "follow the trend, follow the user's trend", then there is no way to be unfavorable. "

Andy's well written Putonghua, with calm and calm speech speed, all the key points and perspectives of analysis are very accurate and novel, which makes Ali's executives and Jack Ma agree with each other very much. Once again, they feel the power of the young man in front of them. They really don't invest in it casually. They have studied Ali and are interested in it Ali company decided to invest.

However, only Jack Ma looks at Andy with some complexity and difficulty. On the contrary, he is wary of the young and shameful individual biggest shareholder in front of him. The more Jingming shareholder is, the more difficult it is to play around. His next layout may need to be more careful.

In the same way, Andy never reassures Jack Ma or plans to make friends with him, because even if he makes friends with him and really needs to fight for interests, Jack Ma will not hesitate to choose interests, so don't make those false ones, or the interest relationship between the investor and the investee is simpler, until Jack Ma is ready to damage the stock Dong Li When it's time to benefit, you can react directly.

To be honest, Ali's future is very attractive. However, Andy has always been vigilant about Jack Ma's character.

There is no doubt that Jack Ma has promoted the rapid development of e-commerce and related industries in rabbit country. It is not too much to say that he is the industry leader. However, on the night before he was about to become the richest man in the country of rabbit, his credit account, which was overdrawn seriously, did not make him a hero convinced by all sides. Many people think that when it is necessary to protect the body with integrity and face the overwhelming high imitation shoes on the international station, Jack Ma mercilessly removes the top of CEO Ali on weizhe's head and blocks all IP and customers in his area; when it is necessary to obtain the first batch of third-party payment licenses, Jack Ma proposes the supremacy of law and security, the operation of the secret box damages the interests of shareholders, and the spirit of the contract goes away; When Ali became a powerful e-commerce Empire, Jack Ma roughly broke the banner of "free"; as for the promise of not establishing its own logistics, people were only "ha ha" in Jack Ma's repeated rebellions.

Andy remembers a classic quote from Jack Ma that may summarize the critical decisions he was able to make, "when you succeed, everything you say is true.".

Everyone's communication was very pleasant, at least it seemed that everyone was very satisfied. As for what they thought inside, only individuals knew. The next thing was to visit Ali. To be honest, Andy was very interested in Ali's internal operation, so it was noon.

"The wind and the moon on the first floor should be drunk, and the ten Li Lake and mountain should be drunk. "Andy is standing at the entrance of the building outside the famous West Lake restaurant, reading the couplets on both sides softly.

”Outside the building, like a pearl inlaid in the mountains and rivers, shining. It has been here for 166 years. "Jackie Ma said to Andy reading couplets with a smile," let's go. I know you are a gourmet. Today, I have prepared many delicacies for you. You will like them. "

" west lake vinegar fish... "Andy asked with a smile.

”Of course, this is the most famous brand dish, song Sao's fish soup, honey fire Fang, Longjing shrimp, Dongpo braised meat, beggar chicken, dry fried bell... There is no shortage of them. Only here is the most authentic one. This sculpture is the map of Dongpo lake dredging, which vividly records and reflects the historical story of Su Dongpo's leading people to dredge the West Lake to build the six bridges of Su dikes more than 900 years ago. "Jackie Ma and Andy are at the same time laughing to introduce the dishes to Andy. Meanwhile, he does not forget to point to the beautiful sculpture in the corridor.

Andy had a very happy lunch, maybe it was because the person who entertained him was Jack Ma bar. All the delicacies in the restaurant were very delicious. After eating the perfect delicacies, Jack Ma led him to a teahouse on the West Lake. He lived by the lake, found a window near the lake, looked at the lake like a mirror and a zither, and enjoyed the exquisite curve in white Suzhou embroidery The ancient beauty tea artist is doing a tea performance while explaining some professional knowledge.

Look at the four tea seats with rabbit characteristics: blue and white, purple sand, celadon and color glaze. Enjoy the typical Jiangnan gentle women's Jing Zhan tea art, speaking of waxy soft.

Warm cup sanitary ware, pouring tea, soaking and shaking fragrance, brewing, making soup

The bowl is covered with color glaze, and the bubble is the West Lake Longjing.

”Water to draw borneol, tea to cook spring tongue. Because of this, we can get rid of the drunkenness and play with the cragginess. "Andy drinks a Longjing, sighs and recites a song of" Longjing tea test "by Tong Hanchen of Ming Dynasty.

”Yeah? Why do you look at me like this? Is there any problem? "Andy put down the tea bowl, with an expression of indecision, looked up and saw that all the people, including the beautiful tea artist, were staring at themselves with wide eyes, and could not help asking with doubts.

”Mr. Smith, you are a real huaxiatong. Poems come at your fingertips, which makes us all a little ashamed. "An Alibaba executive accompanied me with a wry smile and a shake of his head.”Ha ha, you should feel that a foreigner can not only speak Mandarin very smoothly, but also recite ancient poems. It's against my face, right? "

" haha... "

Andy's joke made the whole teahouse laugh.
