Lanxuan is the name of the restaurant where Lao Ma brought them.
The name of this hotel seems quite elegant, and the surrounding environment is also more pleasant, with gurgling streams and towering old trees.
This hotel strives to restore to guests the feeling of an ancient village in the south of the Yangtze River in the 18th century. The interior decoration and furnishings of the hotel are all simple and elegant, giving people a visual enjoyment from the inside out.
Lao Ma also told him that he could reach seven famous ancient temples including Lingyin Temple within walking distance.
The business area of this restaurant is not large, with only about 20 dining tables indoors. The dishes are mainly local dishes, but the ingredients of the dishes are from all over the world.
For example, Iberian black pig from Spain, prime beef from the United States, sea cucumber from the Galapagos Islands, and pine leaf crab from Hokkaido.
"This restaurant will also adjust its menu according to seasonal changes to reflect the traditional Chinese food concept of not eating from time to time." Ma Yun eloquently told Xia Zekai and the three of them the thoughts of this restaurant.
Xia Zekai looked around and found that there was only one table for them. He asked, "Why is there no one?"
"Normally I get off work at 8:30," Ma Yun said with a smile.
The implication is that today is not within the normal range.
He said: "Boss Xia, Director Zhang, and Director Liang, you can eat whatever you want today, and don't worry about anything else."
"Lao Ma, you are very popular in the local area!" Xia Zekai said to him.
Ma Yun smiled and said: "After fifteen years of working here, there are always some friends who are willing to give me face."
Hearing him say this, several people laughed.
Not long after, the waiter in the restaurant brought out the delicious food.
Steamed native chicken with fungi, dry-braised snowflake beef, braised eel with braised pork and rice, silver pomfret in Teochew vegetable braised sauce, fried sea cucumber with green onions, steamed East China Sea large yellow croaker, etc.
Lao Ma said: "Now is the wrong time. There are no Matsuba crabs from Hokkaido. Otherwise, let's try another dish of braised rice with grapefruit-flavored Matsuba crabs. The taste is truly enjoyable."
He has been here many times and is familiar with the specialty dishes here.
When the food was almost ready, he poured the wine he had brought over for the three of them: "Try our West Lake Baijiu today. I promise it will taste different."
It's really different. When I pour the wine, I smell the fragrance of rice wine. The color of the wine is slightly yellow, which makes me want to drink.
Drinking wine, tasting delicious food, and looking at the surrounding scenery don't feel like eating, but more like a great enjoyment of life.
Xia Zekai sighed: "Old Ma, you still enjoy it!"
"I'm fifty years old. If I don't enjoy it, I won't have a few good years left." Lao Ma said with a smile.
His age is almost as old as Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo combined. Looking at Zhang and Liang, Lao Ma feels like he is seeing his own son.
But Lao Ma knew that this was different. Although his son was very smart and had his own financial support, there was really no way he could compare with the two young men in front of him.
It’s good to travel, which one of today’s headlines is easier?
Not to mention these two, the one that gives Lao Ma the most headache is Xia Zekai. The 'Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.' under this guy's name doesn't look very impressive, but it generates tens of billions of sales every year. In the future,
Even sales of tens of billions are a safe cash flow.
If you want to ask who is the richest among the four of them, Lao Ma will be the first to point at Xia Zekai and yell.
This guy always yells that he has no money, no money!
But he can come up with money at the critical moment, so only a ghost can believe what he says!
Xia Zekai picked up a piece of dry-braised snowflake beef and asked Lao Ma: "Is this the top-quality beef imported from the United States?"
"Yes, how does it taste?" Lao Ma asked him.
Xia Zekai said: "This chef is not simple!"
"That's right. This chef is indeed not a simple cook. In order to make delicious dishes with excellent taste, this restaurant has spent a lot of effort to collect top-quality ingredients from all over the world at all costs."
Ma Yun pointed to the dishes in front of him and said: "Just like these dishes, top local ingredients, top beef from the United States, Iberian black pig from Spain, and sea cucumbers from the Galapagos Islands."
After several people enjoyed a delicious meal, Xia Zekai, Zhang Yiming, and Liang Rubo looked at each other. Zhang Yiming took the initiative and said: "Mr. Ma, how much discount can I get for the shares of Taobao Mall?"
"How about 15%?" Ma Yun made a fist with his right hand and stretched out two fingers.
He said: "Alibaba's nine major sectors except Alipay are merged and listed. Among them, Tmall Mall, Taobao Mall, and 1688 website are the main core business sectors of Alibaba Group."
"The potential sectors in Alibaba Cloud."
Ma Yun shared this information with Xia Zekai, Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo without reservation.
"As of now, Alibaba's most important source of income is mainly Tmall Mall, followed by 1688 Wholesale Network and Taobao Mall, and again the group's advertising revenue. Other sectors are currently in a state of loss."
After hearing what he said, Liang Rubo took over: "Dong Ma, you also said that Alibaba's main revenue now is Tmall Mall, Taobao Mall and 1688 Wholesale Network. In this case, 15% of Taobao Mall's shares is a bit
not enough?"
"In my opinion, it is most appropriate to own 10% of the shares in Taobao Mall." Jack Ma said with a smile.
Xia Zekai looked at Ma Yun with a smile and let him perform: "Mr. Ma, continue talking."
This tone gives people the look of watching a monkey show.
"Sure enough, Boss Xia is calm enough." Ma Yun couldn't hold himself any longer.
The implication is that Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo are still too young.
He then said: "According to the current asset estimate, Taobao Mall accounts for 15%, Tmall Mall accounts for 35%, 1688 Wholesale Network accounts for 10%, and the others are to be determined."
Xia Zekai had been listening. After Ma Yun finished speaking, he asked a question: "Has this plan been finalized?"
"There will basically be no major changes, and a detailed asset review will be carried out," said Jack Ma.
"If you calculate it this way, if all the Taobao Mall shares and Tmall Mall shares in my hand are purchased, I should have 1.35% of the Alibaba Group shares?" Xia Zekai silently calculated in his mind and asked.
Ma Yun nodded and said, "That's basically it."
Xia Zekai always feels that his shares are less, but he also knows that Alibaba Group's shares are more valuable than the original shares of Taobao Mall and Tmall Mall.
"When will it start?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Ma Yun said: "You can start at any time."
Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo looked at each other and realized that after exchanging their 1% Taobao Mall shares, only 0.15% of Alibaba Group shares were left.
I suddenly felt extremely poor.
I was also thinking about whether I made a profit or a loss by exchanging the shares of Yixing.com for the shares of Taobao Mall?
But they were all very mature people, and they just had this thought in their minds and then forgot about it.
That night, they chatted for a long time and broke this issue into pieces. Jack Ma also mentioned an issue. This time Alibaba Group plans to adopt a partnership system for its overall listing. Jack Ma hopes that Xia Zekai can stand on his side.
He said: "Both SoftBank of Japan and Yahoo of the United States have promised Chongxin and I to maintain consistency in voting."
"Okay." Xia Zekai agreed happily.
In a sense, Xia Zekai agreed to Ma Yun's request, which was an exchange of interests between the two of them.
He guarantees Ma Yun’s voting rights, and Ma Yun guarantees his proportion of shares.
At this time, Xia Zekai realized one thing: perhaps everyone's shareholding in Alibaba was not too high.
"Is my small number of shares considered high?" A thought came to Xia Zekai's mind.
Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo are dispensable. The voting weight of the few shares they hold is too low.
In the evening, Xia Zekai, Zhang Yiming, and Liang Rubo stayed at the West Lake State Guesthouse.
Through the window, you can see the rippling blue waves of the West Lake and the lotus flowers that have spread out on the lake, which is another visual enjoyment.
Both Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo couldn't sleep, so they finally came to Xia Zekai's room, thinking about talking to Brother Xia about shares.
"Are the shares too low after the replacement?" Xia Zekai asked them.
Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo nodded almost at the same time, but Xia Zekai said: "Don't be anxious, it's not the end yet, let's wait and see."
The two of them have no better way now and can only wait.
Xia Zekai sent a message to his wife in the bedroom, briefly talking about the content of his chat with Jack Ma.
Xia Zekai thought that his wife had fallen asleep, but who knew that his wife Luo Xiyun sent him a message back not long after, the content of which was: "Why are there only so few shares left after the replacement? Is it still valuable?"
"Daughter-in-law, you are really short-sighted. I bet that this 1.5% of the group's shares is more valuable than the 3% of Tmall and 2% of Taobao's shares combined. Do you believe it or not?" Xia Zekai asked her.
Luo Xiyun stopped talking when she heard about the bet. She believed her husband 100%.
Apart from anything else, I haven't seen her husband do anything bad in the past few years.
It was a Jingtong Cup global youth football competition, and she took more than 10 million US dollars as prize money out of her own pocket. Everyone thought this might be a big loss, but the problem was that her husband made a lot of money.
It's hard not to believe what's happening right under your nose.
"It's getting late, you should go to bed early." Luo Xiyun sent a final message, but there was no movement.
Xia Zekai fell asleep soon after.
The second day was the weekend. Ma Yun called Cai Chongxin, Zhang Yong and others, and accompanied Xia Zekai, Zhang Yiming, Liang Rubo and others to go around the West Lake.
At the same time, the ‘Jingtong Cup’ global youth football competition played in the center of Qicheng Stadium has also become popular.
If nothing else, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd., the organizer behind the competition, did a very conscientious job in organizing the 'Jingtong Cup' youth football competition. Even the eliminated team received a bonus of 20,000 yuan. It is said that the first
Those eliminated in the second round will receive a bonus of 30,000 yuan. The organizer Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. stated: "As long as they participate in this competition, their trip will not be in vain."
