The first thousand three hundred and ninety-nine chapters of Liu Lang, a philanthropist
The three of them chatted for a while. It was already time to get off work. Liu Lang invited them to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Of course Du Yuchun would not refuse. As for saying "Daddy Ma", he was just flattered.
Liu Lang is a "self-acquainted" person with no pretensions, and "Daddy Ma" is also a naturally very approachable person. In a moment, he lost his inhibitions and started asking various questions, all about the Internet.
Liu Lang listened very carefully and answered very carefully. "Daddy Ma" believed that the Internet in the future will definitely change the human world, make it different, and even completely subvert the various structural situations of today's society.
For example, he proposed a business model that would allow companies to trade on the Internet. Although there is no clear plan on how to trade, there is no doubt that this has already taken the prototype of "Alibaba".
Liu Lang fully agreed with the other party's idea, which gave him great encouragement. Being recognized by the "Godfather of the Internet" was simply something worth bragging about for a lifetime.
"Mr. Ma, I agree with your idea 100%, so be it, because now all my energy is on Norinco and Shenghe Company, and I have very little contact with Internet matters. Of course, I am also the boss of Shensi Group.
Shareholders, domestic companies still know a lot about it, but the computer business is very different from the Internet. The Internet is too widespread. What you proposed is just a model. Of course, if it is realized, people's lives will undergo earth-shaking changes.
I hope Mr. Ma can continue to follow his own ideas. I believe you will succeed and change society by then.
Well, this is my phone number. If Mr. Ma encounters any difficulties in the future, you can call me at any time and I will give my full support!"
Liu Lang gave the other party his phone number.,
"Dad Ma" really couldn't believe his own eyes. How could he be so good and capable? He was so respected by a billionaire. This was really too much!
Even though he was eloquent, he didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment.
Well, of course Liu Lang wants to help the other party, but as for how to help? In fact, there is no need to provide specific plans like Guowei Company.
Do you need to intervene in the future of "Alibaba"? Obviously not. "Daddy Ma" is an "alien" who single-handedly turned a small company established by the West Lake into a super company with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars.
Internet giants have changed people’s consumption
model, even if Liu Lang is reincarnated, he may not be able to change places with the other party to that extent, because Liu Lang knows that "Ali" has not been easy along the way, especially when he started his business, he had too many experiences of being ridiculed and ignored.
Yes, many people still regard them as liars.
After all, the Internet is not understood by most people in this era. Unlike industrial products, as long as I build it and put it there, I will be noticed. This is in line with Liu Lang's character: don't force it, just do it, and "
"Ali" spent a lot of time "playing hard" with people when he was growing up. This is why "Daddy Ma" has an extremely tough heart. If it had been anyone else, he would have been tortured to death. This kind of work is Liu Lang's.
It's absolutely impossible.
What Liu Lang has to do is to invest money in "Alibaba", which will be one of the top Internet companies in the world in terms of market value in the future, with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars. "Daddy Ma" has also become the richest man in China for several consecutive years, but then
At that time, he only owned about 5% of the shares of "Alibaba". With 5% of the shares, he could become one of the top ten richest people in the world. This shows how valuable "Ali" is.
Although "Alibaba" will be prosperous twenty years later, it struggled at the beginning of its establishment and almost died on the road many times. Unlike Guowei Company, Guowei also encountered big problems in the process of development, mainly
In terms of product positioning, once the positioning of communication products is wrong, the company will fall into crisis. Fortunately, Renweitian turned the tide and the company was able to turn the crisis around.
The "Alibaba" company is not the same. It was positioned as an Internet commerce company from the beginning. Although there have been some minor setbacks, the general direction has not changed. Their problem is that they have no money.
Lack of money is a common problem among Internet companies. In the United States, there are many companies. As long as there is capital and they are optimistic about you, they can invest money and then go public. Everyone makes money together without even looking at your financial statements. For example, the company with the highest market capitalization in the world today
Yahoo is already "valued" at $70 billion, but its financial situation has always been in the red.
However, it was much more difficult for domestic Internet companies in the early stages of development. There were no domestic risk companies during this period, and banks would not give you loans. The business owners could only find their own solutions. What solutions could they have?
Internet charges? People won’t buy it. Advertising? Just kidding, how many people are there in this era? The Internet is far less attractive to ordinary people than TV. Who would advertise on the Internet?
Then there is only one way left, "to attract sponsorship".
Because few rich people in China know much about the Internet, it is basically impossible to find rich people to invest money. Who would spend hundreds of millions to invest in something that is invisible and intangible? Got kicked in the head by a donkey? Besides,
Even the richest people in China are only in the tens of millions, and there is nothing they can do with funds that can easily reach tens of millions.
If the Chinese don’t recognize it and don’t have the money, then they have to go abroad to “gather sponsorship”.
After the "Alibaba" company became famous, one issue that has been criticized is that 30% of the shares belong to a wealthy man from the island country, so that this island country person can become one of the top companies in the world by relying on these shares.
Rich people, many Chinese are using this issue to speculate that "Alibaba" is an island company, "Daddy Ma" is suspected, etc.
This is purely a matter of standing up and talking without pain. Without the capital investment of the island countries, "Ali" would have been eliminated with a high probability, so in a sense, the funds of the island countries saved "Ali".
"Daddy Ma" is not willing either, but there is no other way. This is a multiple-choice question with only two answers. One option is not to receive foreign funds, and the result is "death". The other is to accept the funds. According to the situation at the time, the result is unknown.
But at least it can last for a while, and anyone will choose the second option.
This island country investor is called Sun Zhenyi, a capital tycoon. He also reaped huge profits from this investment. His income from the "Alibaba" company exceeded 10 billion US dollars, and the return on income was close to a thousand times.
Liu Lang and Sun Zhenyi had met before. When Liu Langfeng's company invested in Yahoo in the United States, Sun Zhenyi was also eyeing Yahoo, but the price was average. Liu Lang was the first to invest 30 million US dollars in it, and Sun Zhenyi lost this opportunity.
.
The same is true now. When the "Alibaba" company is short of money in the future, it will not be the islanders' turn. Liu Lang can handle it alone. For him, tens of millions of dollars is really not a problem.
In fact, this is the purpose of Liu Lang's meeting with "Daddy Ma". In the future, "Ali" will be a cornucopia. After investing a small amount of money in the early stage, he can get hundreds of times in return. How can Liu Lang let others take advantage of this kind of thing?
, let alone "Alibaba", he will also have to participate in the future "Penguin" company.
Of course, "Daddy Ma" didn't know that Liu Lang had already set his sights on his "Ali". He was really grateful from the bottom of his heart for Liu Lang's actions. It was rumored that Liu Lang was "charity-loving" and often helped small businesses. It seems that the rumors were true.
