Rebirth of the internet boss

Chapter 192 The first meeting, a lot of care

On the evening of January 2004, 1, Li Feng was dressed neatly under Yang Xiao's attire, then got into the car and went to Yanjing Hotel, where the CCTV China Economic Person of the Year Awards Ceremony will be held today.

For tonight's awards ceremony, Yang Xiao specially bought a suit for Li Feng. Although Li Feng doesn't like to wear suits very much, he usually wears casual clothes and sportswear, but after all, it is such a grand awards ceremony, and it is still CCTV. This kind of first-level official media can't let Li Feng mess around,
Moreover, when Li Feng put on the suit, although he still looked immature, he was much more mature than usual, handsome and heroic,

Even Yang Xiao who was next to him looked straight, and said to Li Feng lovingly, "You are so handsome, maybe after the TV program airs today, you won't know how many girls' hearts you have captivated."

Li Feng finally kissed Yang Xiao, and said: "I am already very self-sufficient with you, I am already very happy now, wait for me to come back tonight."

Yang Xiao also kissed Li Feng back, and said with a happy face, "Well, I'll wait for you."

This time Li Feng participated in the annual China Economic Person of the Year Awards Ceremony, not only Fengrui people knew about it, but also his relatives and friends around Li Feng,
Not only the people in dormitory 601, but also people from other dormitories gathered around the TV to watch live TV, especially the bed that Li Feng lived in before was already full.

In Tang Xin's dormitory, Xu Wenjia's laptops were turned on to watch the first-time live broadcast, and Lu Lu, who was far away in the United States, was also watching Li Feng all the time.

Even Li's father and Li's mother have been waiting in front of the TV station for a long time in advance, and Li's father even called all the relatives of the Li family, including the seven aunts and eight aunts, reminding them that they must watch tonight's Chinese economic Person of the Year Awards Ceremony.

When Li Feng came to the door of Yanjing Hotel by car, there were people inside and out, and the media was always the first group of people to arrive at the scene, with cameras and big cranes everywhere,

Yanjing is the center of news and public opinion. The number of reporters is unmatched by any other place, and every reporter has a pair of eagerly searching eyes.

Therefore, when Li Feng got off the car, countless flashing lights rushed towards him. Even many reporters who didn't know Li Feng saw that so many media were taking pictures of Li Feng, and followed the wind to take a few pictures. open,

For a while, the flash light seemed to be flashing, almost blinding Li Feng's eyes. This battle was the first time for Li Feng to experience it, so he knew why many celebrities like to wear sunglasses.
Fortunately, the conference affairs team had security personnel arranged in advance to clear the way for Li Feng, so that Li Feng could go all the way to the hotel without hindrance.

After Li Feng entered, a short young reporter who didn't know Li Feng asked another tall young reporter next to him, "Who is the person who entered just now? Do you know him?"

The young tall reporter also said: "I haven't seen it, but whether he knows it or not, let's take pictures first, and those who can participate in tonight's ceremony must not be simple people, but they are so young, they must be some rich second generation. "

The short reporter thought about it, and felt that this was also the case. Being so young was either the second generation of rich people or the second generation of officials. However, since Tonight is an economic figure, he should be the second generation of rich people.

At this time, an elderly reporter came over, gave the two of them a blow on the back of the head, and cursed after the filming: "I didn't know that person just now, that's Li Feng, who is sharp and worth billions." , You said it was great or not!"

The two young reporters were still a little angry after being stunned for a while, but after hearing what the older reporter had said, they couldn't believe it and asked, "Is it true, they are worth billions at such a young age, and I think it's just He looks like a student, not as old as me!"

At this time, the older reporter gave the two of them another blow, and scolded again: "Let you two prepare some homework in advance and get more information, that Li Feng is not yet 20 years old, do you think he is as old as you?" !"

This time, the two of them didn't even react at all, especially when they knew that the YY and Renren they used for chatting and "Miracle MU" for playing games were all Fengrui's products. shocked.

And when Li Feng arrived in the hall, although there were a lot fewer people, it was still a dark place, and there were a lot of media inside. Many of the media here were relatively high-end, and most of them were relatively formal first-level media.
Li Feng was not the first to arrive. Zhang Ruimin, CEO of Haier Group, Hou Weigui, Chairman of ZTE Corporation, Yang Yuanqing, President and CEO of Lenovo Group Co., Ltd., Li Dongsheng, Chairman and President of TCL Group Co., Ltd., and many, many entrepreneurs also came here. In an interview with the media,
Although Li Feng knew them all, but because Li Feng rarely had contact with the media, and rarely dealt with them, Li Feng was not familiar with any of them.

Moreover, Li Feng also saw Ma Yun from Alibaba. At this time, Ma Yun was surrounded by several media interviews. Ma Yun never gave up any chance to promote herself and Ali. At least she grew up in Ali. sub,
At this time, the reporter asked Ma Yun: eBay claims to "end the war in China's e-commerce market within 18 months." What do you think is the reason why Taobao can survive in the end?
Ma Yun: Taobao survived because our opponent made too many bad moves.For example, we are tricycles and others are armored vehicles. Whether it is management, capital, talents, or understanding of future e-commerce, eBay must be better than Taobao.

But we must be stronger in grasping the Chinese market and the Chinese people.Multinationals' attitudes towards local Chinese competitors tend to go through several stages, from being invisible to looking down on rivals, and then Chinese companies will confuse them to the point of shock.

Reporter: Taobao is still burning money, when will it be profitable?

Ma Yun: Some people say that e-commerce is the one that can make money while sleeping at night.In my opinion, those who can really make money while lying down and sleeping at night are online games.It may be in the next three to five years that we can actually make money.At this stage, we just don't like making money, we just want to do a good job in e-commerce. We have prepared 5 years of money for Taobao to burn. I hope that by 2008, e-commerce can truly reach online transactions.

Reporter: Will you always stick to this free model?

Ma Yun "answered the wrong question" and said: Taobao has left eBay behind. In addition to the number of members, we surpass them in terms of transaction volume, number of products, visits, number of members, and transaction value. Now our transaction value is 18 times theirs , 70% of their users are ours.And Taobao does well not because it is free, but the essence of Taobao is to really think from the user's point of view.

Reporter: Does Alibaba have any plans to go public?

Ma Yun: Although Ali has the strength to go public, there is no plan to go public quickly in the short term. Going public is a natural process. The development of the company is more important than going public. At present, we really have no plans for this.

First, we are not short of funds, and the shareholders and I do not want to cash out.Second, not going public may be more beneficial to competition. We don't want to be exposed to our opponents.

Ali is still too young now, and I can’t find a reason to go public. The company’s current profitability is very good, and its finances are also very transparent. I don’t even know who to buy after it goes public, and after refinancing?

……

Facing the reporter's question, Ma Yun talked so eloquently that the reporter in charge of the interview almost fainted.

Finally, the reporter asked Ma Yun a question: Among so many candidates, which candidate do you prefer?

Without even thinking about it, Ma Yun gave her own answer: If I were a judge, I would definitely choose the sharp Li Feng.

Li Feng and Ma Yun are both candidates. They are representatives of China's Internet, and it can also be said that they are representatives of China's new economy. Just this year, the performance of China's new economy centered on the Internet and communication technology has been impressive. Now, the total market value of Chinese high-tech companies listed on NASDAQ is close to 100 billion US dollars.

And Li Feng has a lot of halos, he is worth billions of dollars when he is less than 20 years old, and he is the number one Internet company in China... All these constitute the swarming and flocking of the media.

But Li Feng still had no intention of accepting an interview, he just said hello, and under the guidance of the staff, he went directly to the seat marked with his name and sat down.
Although it was also in front of the awards ceremony, Li Feng found that his seat was on the far left of all the candidates, and it was also the second-to-last seat.
Li Feng also found out that Ma Yun from Ali happened to be on the right, and Ren Zhengfei from Huawei was on the left. At first, Li Feng was quite curious about how to get the old Ren to the side. As far as Lenovo Liu Chuanzhi and Haier Zhang Ruimin are compared with Zi,

It wasn't until a staff member randomly came and sat down, that Li Feng understood that the old man didn't even bother to participate in this kind of award ceremony.
In his previous life, Ren Zhengfei himself was also very low-key, he didn't engage in grand ostentation, he didn't engage in particularity, he rarely appeared in the media, and he hardly participated in any economic figures or corporate selection activities, let alone participating in receiving awards.

Originally, Li Feng wanted to communicate with this entrepreneur. There are not many Chinese entrepreneurs that Li Feng really admires, and only Ren Zhengfei and Chu Shijian. It is a pity that Li Feng did not have this opportunity.
The reason why Ren Zhengfei was selected as China's annual economic figure this year is also because the lawsuit between Huawei and Cisco that shocked the industry was resolved peacefully.Since then, Huawei has become famous and has become the company most feared by foreign opponents.

In fact, CCTV even asked Long Yongtu, secretary-general of the Boao Forum for Asia, to persuade Ren Zhengfei to participate, but he was still rejected. Some people would say that CCTV's selection of economic figures of the year is the Oscar of China's financial industry. It is obvious that Ren Zhengfei does not want to be an actor, he just Fighters in the market.

In fact, Li Feng didn't like this kind of occasion either, but now Fengrui's size is too small compared to big companies like Huawei, Lenovo, and Haier.

Just 10 minutes before the awards ceremony started, Ma Yun also came over.

When Ma Yun took her seat, she found that Li Feng was sitting next to her. She stretched out her hand to Li Feng and said happily, "President Li, seeing a hundred things is worth seeing once! I am so happy to see you!"

Although Fengrui is domineering and domineering on the Chinese Internet, Li Feng can be said to be the most low-key figure on the Chinese Internet, especially because Li Feng is still so young and has created many explosive products, which makes many Internet practitioners feel that he is mysterious Unpredictable.

Li Feng also shook hands with Ma Yun very readily, and said, "Yes, Mr. Ma, I've heard the name for a long time, and it's the first time we meet, please take care of me!"

In the previous life, the two horses were on the Internet in China, and even in the entire Chinese commercial society. ", and Tang Xin also contributed a lot of RMB to Ma Yun.

Ma Yun smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Mr. Li, we are still a family. You Fengrui are not only shareholders of our Ali, but also have provided a lot of help for Ali's development. I haven't thanked you enough yet!"

Li Feng quickly waved his hand and said, "That's what it should be!"

Ma Yun is a very talkative person, under his guidance, the two chatted again.

Seeing Ma Yun talking eloquently, Li Feng sighed for a moment and thought that it took him two lifetimes to sit down and have such a conversation with Ma Yun.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Li Feng is afraid of Ma Yun. After all, he even killed Ma Huateng, and it is not impossible to kill another horse.

At this time, Ma Yun suddenly asked Li Feng: "Mr. Li, I wonder if Alipay under Fengrui is sold?"

Li Feng suddenly raised his head and glanced at Ma Yun. What kind of eyes did he have? Ma Yun was almost taken aback.

However, Ma Yun is Ma Yun after all. Although he does not have the aura of Ma Yun's father in his previous life, he is still a new generation of entrepreneurs.

Ma Yun asked Li Feng again: "Mr. Li, just say whatever you want, I will never bargain!"

Li Feng directly refused: "Not for sale, but Ali can be allowed to buy shares, but the prerequisite is that Ali gives up developing similar third-party payment software."

Ma Yun said: "Then how much stake can we Ali hold at most?"

Li Feng thought for a while, then directly extended four fingers to Ma Yun, and said, "Up to [-]%!"

At this time, Ma Yun started talking about something else: "We Ali is going to open a set of instant messaging software between sellers and buyers on the current Taobao.com. I wonder if Fengrui is interested?"

Ali Wangwang? !
Li Feng asked: "Conditions?"

Ma Yun went on to say: "I hope Alipay can be controlled by Ali! Of course, we will make some compensation in terms of shares."

Although the transaction volume of Taobao is still very small, Ma Yun has seen the future of e-commerce, and through Taobao transactions, Ma Yun has also discovered the infinite possibilities of Alipay's future. Therefore, when Ma Yun is at war with eBay, At the same time, I was planning to buy Fengrui's Alipay.

"Impossible! Alipay must be controlled by us Fengrui. If you agree to my conditions and stop developing similar third-party payment software, and then allow us YY to access Taobao, I can give away 5% of our Fengrui shares in Ali for free. To your founding team."

Ma Yun fell into deep thought, and at this moment, the awards ceremony began.

　Thank you Scarlet Hummer for your reward, thank you!
