"Mr. Chen has great ambitions, which cannot be matched by me."
Ma Baba said sincerely.
First-rate companies make standards, second-rate companies make brands, and third-rate companies make products.
What Neptune wants to do is set industry standards.
Establishing industry standards is not something that can be accomplished overnight, nor can it be achieved by just burning money.
But once it is done, it will be the absolute authority in the industry, and its influence will last for at least several decades.
Although listing financing is conducive to the expansion of enterprises, the intervention of capital will actually affect Neptune's decision-making, and premature listing will be harmful rather than helpful.
Therefore, Neptune has no plans to go public now.
After understanding this, everyone here is ashamed.
What they are thinking about now is how to expand their business and how to raise capital and go public, but what others are thinking about is establishing industry standards.
Everyone is not at the same starting point, and they do not have the level of Chen Yang.
Next, the banquet continued, and everyone's attitude towards Chen Yang became much more respectful.
In comparison, most of them are just making quick money, but Chen Yang is really doing things.
These days, not many people are really doing anything.
However, some people disagree.
Setting standards can last for decades or even hundreds of years, but with the current rapid development, who can guarantee that your standards can continue to lead?
Instead of setting illusory and lofty goals, it is better to be down-to-earth and make some money.
After all, what you hold in your hands is real.
Although Neptune is awesome, Chen Yang seems to take it too much for granted.
For this kind of person, Chen Yang just smiled lightly and did not explain anything.
Different road non-phase plan.
Although the Internet and real estate have created many rich people, not many of them actually do anything.
Looking around among the people in the world, the glass tycoon Lao Cao counts as one, BYD’s Wang Chuanfu counts as one, and Ma Baba can only count as half.
Why is it half?
In the first half of his life, Ma Baba was still a practical person.
But after Ali reached the top, Ma Baba turned into Dad Ma and began to drift away.
In the later period, Ali wanted everything and had a hand in everything.
Facts have proved that it is normal to get beaten while floating.
What happened to Mababa later is naturally reasonable.
The banquet ended quickly. Chen Yang thanked Ma Baba for the hospitality and then stood up to leave.
It's not enough to say anything speculative.
He and these people couldn't even pee in the same pot, so they might as well leave as soon as possible.
Ma Baba personally sent Chen Yang outside the hotel.
"Mr. Chen, after listening to what you said today, I was deeply touched. I can see that Mr. Chen is a practical person, and I admire you very much."
Ma Baba said sincerely.
Chen Yang is not old, but his vision is far-sighted than the average person. If he can really set the standards for the medicinal materials industry, he will have a bright future.
"Mr. Ma, I'm sorry, I just want to do something."
Chen Yang said modestly.
well said!
Ma Baba also patted his thigh and said: "There are only a few dozen cold and summer days in this life. If you don't do something, wouldn't you be sorry for this majestic seven-foot body?"
Hearing Ma Baba say this, Chen Yang almost laughed out loud.
Seven feet tall?
Big brother?
Are you seven feet tall?
Alright alright!
He can be regarded as a metaphor and a reference.
"See you when you have a chance!"
Ma Baba smiled and extended his right hand.
Chen Yang also stretched out his hand to shake his hand.
Ma Baba hesitated to speak.
correct!
He seemed to have thought of something and said, "If Mr. Ma needs anything, you can call me."
Ma Baba was also very happy.
Originally, he wanted to exchange personal phone numbers with Chen Yang, but he was afraid that Chen Yang didn't mean it, so he felt a little embarrassed when he brought it up.
But Chen Yang took the initiative to propose it, and he was naturally overjoyed.
The two sides quickly exchanged phone numbers.
"Brother Chen, how old am I? I will call you brother. I have something to warn you. Neptune's capital platform may have tens of billions of turnover every year, which is very dangerous."
Ma Baba whispered.
oh!
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment and looked at Ma Baba with some confusion.
"Although the money is in Neptune's account, it does not belong to Neptune. If someone is interested in it and accuses you of illegal fund-raising, you won't be able to walk away with it."
Ma Baba said sincerely.
Illegal fundraising?
Chen Yang was also shocked.
As the founder of Alipay, Ma Baba still has a say in this kind of matter.
"Isn't that true?"
Chen Yang asked puzzledly.
"When Alipay was first launched, I argued with my team over and over again. According to the current law, illegal fund-raising can be judged. The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a treasure. Neptune is now in the limelight, and it is easy to make people jealous."
Ma Baba also taught earnestly.
Makes sense!
Chen Yang nodded.
Neptune has offended a lot of people now. If they really discover this loophole, it will really cause big trouble.
"Mr. Ma, what should we do about this?"
Chen Yang humbly asked for advice.
Mababa, who can single-handedly create the Alipay platform, will naturally have ways to deal with the risks involved.
"This is not difficult. The risks are shared evenly. With Neptune's business, you can find a few more banks, preferably ones prefixed with "国", and then separate accounts. Some banks will make money, but you will not have any risks, so you can kill two birds with one stone."
Ma Baba also shared his experience with Chen Yang.
High!
Chen Yang couldn't help but admire Ma Baba with admiration.
This alien's head is really unusual.
In fact, for Neptune's business, any bank can be used for settlement.
But because of previous relationships, Neptune's business has always been handed over to President Fu's bank.
The bank where President Fu works is making a lot of money.
But now it seems that changes must be made.
"Thank you, Mr. Ma, for your advice. Chen Yang is very grateful."
Chen Yang also said respectfully.
Ma Baba pointed out a fatal flaw of Neptune to him, and he naturally wanted to express his gratitude.
"Call Marco?"
Ma Baba said with a smile.
Come on, Brother Marco!
Chen Yang also smiled.
After talking heart-to-heart for a while, the relationship between the two suddenly became much closer.
"Brother Chen, are you interested in investing in our Alibaba?"
Ma Baba asked with a smile.
Neptune is not short of money now.
"Okay, but I'm not interested in p2b or p2c business. But since Brother Ma said it, I'll invest a billion for fun."
Chen Yang said with a smile.
Anyway, Neptune is now very profitable. Instead of keeping it in hand, it is better to invest in some industries with potential.
After all, no one wants too much money.
One billion, just for fun?
Mababa took a deep breath.
I had known for a long time that Neptune was rich, but I didn’t expect that he would spend one billion.
Poor Ma Baba is begging his grandpa to sue his grandma, so he can barely scrape together an investment of one billion yuan.
However, with Chen Yang’s one billion, Alibaba’s subsequent development will be much smoother.
The two parties briefly discussed some details, and then Chen Yang asked him to send someone to the Qiaocheng Neptune headquarters to sign a formal investment agreement.
After Chen Yang left.
A young man wearing glasses walked out from behind Ma Baba.
"Xiao Cai, what do you think of this person?"
Ma Baba asked with a smile.
"You have money and character, but you are not a qualified businessman. You can take advantage of it, but you can't tie it too deeply."
The young man named Cai said calmly.
Although he did not attend the banquet, he knew what happened at the banquet.
It is difficult for a person like Chen Yang to succeed in the capital market.
Without the support of capital, it would be difficult for Neptune to grow bigger.
oh!
Mababa glanced at his subordinates subconsciously.
The young man named Cai is Ma Baba's right-hand man and has won his trust.
"My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. This person knows what he is doing, his expectations for the future are very realistic, and he is down-to-earth and trustworthy."
Ma Baba actually spoke highly of Youyou.
Not for anything else, but because Chen Yang's character is very trustworthy.
Businessmen usually engage in intrigues, saying one thing and doing another.
But Chen Yang was a little different.
What people say and do.
"Did Mr. Ma overestimate him?"
The young man named Cai glanced at Ma Baba.
"Neptune's future ceiling may not be as high as Alibaba's, but their voice in the industry is by no means comparable to ours."
Ma Baba said meaningfully.
Do you have the right to speak in the industry?
The young man named Cai muttered to himself.
At present, Alibaba is far ahead in China's p2c business, but it is by no means the only one. There are also competitors such as Goudong and Suning behind it.
Although Alibaba has first-mover advantages and capital advantages, it is impossible to completely defeat its competitors.
But Neptune is different.
Currently, Neptune is the largest company in the entire medicinal materials industry.
Although Haiyu appeared in a short period of time, it was destroyed by Haiwang in a few days.
It seems that for some time it will be difficult for this industry to have a competitor that can compete with Neptune.
This is the so-called industry voice.
"Get ready, we are going to conduct a third round of financing. This time, let's dilute the foreign capital shares."
Ma Baba seems to have made a decision.
"Mr. Ma, no!"
The young man named Cai was a little surprised.
When Alibaba was founded, it planned to become a large international enterprise.
Therefore, some considerations are taken when introducing foreign investment.
Now, Alibaba's equity structure gives a lot of room for foreign investment, which is also to obtain further capital support.
Now Ma Baba wants to close these channels.
The young man named Cai was naturally confused.
"Xiao Cai, the timing has changed. In the past, no one was optimistic about Alibaba, and only foreign investors dared to invest. But now that we have domestic funds, why not let our own people come in first? And today, I contacted Brother Chen, which is also very helpful to me.
Feelings. To run a business, sometimes you don’t necessarily have to be humble and seek foreign support.”
Ma Baba said with a smile.
Didn't Neptune's journey all the way to this point be made by himself?
They don't rely on financial backers.
If possible, he does not want to make money for foreign investors.
But……
The young man named Cai still hesitated.
Introduce foreign capital and use the power of foreign capital to go public abroad.
This was also designed earlier.
"Xiao Cai, if Brother Chen lets the news go and plans to go public in the United States, do you think it will go smoothly?"
Ma Baba suddenly asked this question.
Of course!
The young man named Cai nodded.
With Neptune's revenue and prospects, as long as it wants to go public, there will always be investors willing to come forward.
"So, whether you can go public does not depend on the amount of foreign investment, but on yourself. If Alibaba can have an absolute say in the industry like Neptune, why worry about not being able to go public?"
Ma Baba said something meaningful.
The young man named Cai also nodded.
If Alibaba really has the absolute right to speak, it will naturally become the darling of capital, and its listing will be a matter of course.
Mababa also plans to give it a try.
…
After returning from the hotel, Chen Yang called Liu Yutong and briefly talked about the investment.
Liu Yutong didn't have any objections.
She will listen to Chen Yang on all important matters.
One billion is not much for Neptune.
Last year, the profit from medicinal materials alone reached one billion, not counting profits from logistics, inspection, and technology patents.
It can be regarded as Chen Yang’s private enterprise profit.
Last year, Neptune's revenue was more than 2 billion.
After acquiring Haiyu’s channel this year, our p2c business has doubled.
Conservative estimates suggest that this year's profit will be at least 50% higher than last year's.
In other words, Neptune is no longer short of money.
"Chen Yang, I think we should set up an investment company."
Liu Yutong made a suggestion.
Now that Neptune has money, it is really a waste to keep it, so he might as well make some investments.
"I have had such an idea for a long time, at least for the time being, there is no suitable person in charge."
Chen Yang also nodded.
He had this idea years ago, but at least he didn't have the right people on hand.
Moreover, he did not want to leave this kind of investment to newcomers.
"I recommend someone, please consider it."
Liu Yutong does have a candidate.
Who!
Chen Yang asked curiously.
This girl actually has the right person?
It really surprised him.
"Qin Yuan!"
Liu Yutong said with a smile.
What?
Chen Yang was dumbfounded when he heard that Liu Yutong recommended Qin Yuan to be the head of the investment department.
But if you think about it carefully, it's really suitable.
only……
Chen Yang always felt that something was wrong.
Especially this opinion came from Liu Yutong.
"Yutong, are you serious?"
he asked cautiously.
"Of course, first of all, you can trust Qin Yuan, and secondly, she has been the vice president of Neptune, so she has no shortage of experience."
Liu Yutong explained.
"No... I mean, Qin Yuan has escaped from Haiwang, do you really want to recruit her back?"
Chen Yang couldn't believe it.
"What's there to doubt? Just make the best use of everything. Don't say you're not in Hangzhou now?"
Liu Yutong snorted.
Although she had looked away, the girl was still very unhappy when Chen Yang silently ran to Hangzhou to have a private meeting with Qin Yuan.
Rather than letting them sneak around, it's better to call them over openly.
Anyway, she didn't intend to occupy Chen Yang for the rest of her life.
this……
Chen Yang was speechless.
"I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, you must invite Qin Yuan back."
Liu Yutong gave an ultimatum.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang felt dumbfounded.
Is this girl a little confused about priorities?
Who is the boss and who is the vice president?
Is it your turn to give me orders in Neptune?
But then again.
Can only he do this?
You can't let Liu Yutong come over in person to greet the mistress, right?
have to!
Chen Yang still has to take action.
But where is Qin Yuan?
Chen Yang also had no confidence.
What if someone doesn’t want to?
And kids!
Qin Yuan wouldn’t abandon her child and go to Qiaocheng, right?
Once the child is brought there, what will Li Ying think?
Chen Yang felt a little dizzy when he thought of this.
