Chapter 942 The miserable Ali Tao

Zhang Song had someone buy a suite for Mali, and he lived next door to Zhang Song.

Zhang Song took people out to inspect various areas of the capital during the day, assisting Lu Hao in establishing the organizational structure of Longyou Online Game Company.

When I returned to the hotel in the evening, I drank coffee with Malitao and discussed the future of China Internet.

Whenever I talk about the Internet, Malitao is like a chicken-blooded person who can always talk about it endlessly.

Malitao is very optimistic about the future of China's Internet. He believes that China's Internet will play a very important role in the future.

Zhang Song also fully recognized this point.

We must look at problems from a development perspective. Times are changing, technology is developing, and the Internet is also developing quietly.

From the beginning of nothing, to the emergence and use of mobile Internet now, these are developing in a subtle way.

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet, only those who are truly in the midst of changes can personally feel the changes brought about by these small changes.

Information communication has become more and more convenient. From the initial mailing of letters and telegraphs, to the popularization of landline phones, telegraphs disappeared, mailing letters turned into mailing greeting cards, and letters home turned into blessings.

The emergence of pagers has shifted information communication towards instant messaging.

The popularity of mobile phones has completely ended the era of pagers.

Up to now, the third generation of Dragon Soul mobile phones with Internet access have appeared. With every technological innovation, old technologies will disappear.

Along with it, many invisible industrial chains disappeared.

Two days later, Zhang Song said goodbye to Lu Hao, took a plane with Malitao, and went directly to Hangzhou.

Hangzhou has been an important town in China since ancient times.

There is heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou.

This Hang refers to the city of Hangzhou, as can be seen in this way.

When Zhang Song first set foot in Hangzhou, his first impression was of beauty, the beauty of green.

The urban green coverage rate is as high as 40.58%, and the forest coverage rate is 66.85%.

This surprised Zhang Song, who was used to living in the port city.

Hong Kong City is an out-and-out steel city, with tall buildings and a full sense of technology.

But here in Hangzhou, it is lush and green, and the cultural atmosphere is very rich.

"I didn't expect Hangzhou to be so beautiful. I remember there was a TV series called "The Legend of White Snake" that seemed to be filmed here."

After getting off the plane, Zhang Song and Malitao drove to the hotel together. On the way, Zhang Song saw many unique buildings in Hangzhou.

It reminded me of a TV series he watched a long time ago.

"Yes, that TV series really promoted the city of Hangzhou in front of the whole country. Now, almost everyone in the country doesn't know about West Lake, and everyone doesn't know about Leifeng Pagoda."

"It's a pity that Leita Peak has collapsed a long time ago and is now being prepared for reconstruction. Archaeological excavations are being done on the old site over there." Malitao said with some regret.

Speaking of the Leifeng Pagoda, it took nearly a thousand years from AD 975 (built in the second year of Taiping Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty) to its collapse in 1924 AD.

In the past nearly a thousand years, it has been ravaged by wars and suffered serious damage many times.

During this period, many myths and legends also emerged. The story of Xu Xian and White Snake is the most widely circulated one.

"Mr. Ma, I think it's better to choose the day than to hit it. I'll ask them to go to the hotel to settle down in a while, and the two of us can go directly to your Alibaba store to have a look." Zhang Song said on a whim.

How could Malitao have imagined that Zhang Song would have such a request?

"Mr. Zhang, you really want to catch me off guard." Malitao said with a smile.

"I think it would be more conducive to our subsequent communication if we were more honest with each other," Zhang Song said.

"Okay, let's go to Ali Tao now. I just hope Zhang Song won't dislike my shabby place." Mali Tao did not refuse and immediately agreed.

It's not that Malitao doesn't want to buy time so that he can make preparations in advance.

It is true that Zhang Song is too much of a thief. Just because he loves airplanes, he makes a surprise visit to Ali Tao. He does not want to give them any preparation at all.

Malitao understood that he now had no confidence to reject Zhang Song.

"Master driver, turn right at the intersection ahead. Let's go to the residential area for the families of the Second Textile Factory." Malitao said to the driver in front of him.

"Where are we going? Okay." The taxi driver glanced at Malitao through the rearview mirror and responded immediately.

The Second Textile Factory was one of the oldest enterprises in Hangzhou. After the restructuring, it failed to survive for only a few years before going bankrupt.

Although the location of that area is good, it is like a village in the city, with old buildings and poor road conditions.

The driver was also a little puzzled. The man behind him didn't look like someone who should live there.

The car drove all the way to the family building of the Second Textile Factory.

Zhang Song never thought that such a beautiful city would have such a dilapidated community.

"I'm sorry, we at Alibaba are still in the start-up stage, and we have very little capital. Apart from renting servers, we can save on other expenses as much as we can."

Malitao said with a smile, not feeling inferior because of the bad environment here.

"Let's go in." Zhang Song said.

To be honest, Alibaba's office environment has indeed refreshed Zhang Song's knowledge of micro-enterprises.

When he was in Hong Kong City before, the worst company he saw was one that only rented a desk in a public office area.

But no matter what, it is also in a regular office building.

But the Alibaba store in front of us is actually located directly in a private house, and it is also in the semi-basement here.

The moment Zhang Song followed Malitao through the door, a pungent musty smell hit him.

Messy semi-underground, littered garbage, humid air, and moldy walls.

"I'm sorry, the environment here is really bad." Malitao said apologetically.

Turning around and looking at the people in the room, Malitao said quickly: "If I don't tell you, why don't you just open the window and ventilate it frequently? If you hold it in like this all day long, you won't be afraid of being smoked to death."

"We thought about it too, but the old woman upstairs came here every day. As soon as we opened the window, she would put her hair in a henhouse-like style and answered loudly.

They squeezed eight people into a semi-underground space of more than 40 square meters, and they not only had to work here, but also sleep here.

The environment is messy and unsightly.

"They are all a bunch of IT guys, and the environment is a bit bad." Malitao said to Zhang Song.

"Let's go outside and talk."

Zhang Song really couldn't stand the smell, so he only looked at the situation inside the house at the door and did not go in deep.

"Okay, then let's go outside and talk."

Malitao also knew that there was really no way to entertain Zhang Song inside the house, so he simply went outside with Zhang Song.

After leaving the building, the air outside was much better.

"Mr. Zhang is laughing. You are a big shot. You must have never seen such a bad office environment." Malitao said.

Zhang Song took several breaths and finally calmed down.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen your office environment like this. How did you persist in that environment?" Zhang Song asked.

"If you say we rely on faith, it would be flattering on our own faces. In fact, we are just a little unconvinced. We persist until now because we just want to win." Malitao said.

Since starting the business, some people have joined the team, and some have chosen to leave because they couldn't bear the harsh conditions. Many of those who stayed behind have not received wages for several months.

It's not that the remaining eight people have never thought about leaving, they just chose to stay for the time being due to various reasons.

Malitao knew in his heart that if he couldn't get investment, he wouldn't be able to keep the last eight people. At that time, he would have to sell those computers and break up the company.

"It's good to want to win."

Zhang Song nodded, put away his smile, and looked at Malitao.

"Now we can talk about investment in detail."

"Now? Oh no, I want to say that you are ready to invest in our Alibaba?"
