Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 502 SoftBank
In the first month of the millennium, Lu Yiming's photo appeared on the cover of "Forbes" magazine, and his investment in VA Linux made him famous again, and was even called by many American stock investors as coming from Eastern magician.

After all, Lu Yiming's way of making money is too magical. He can always choose the most suitable target at the most suitable time.

In the office, Li Yiwen said cheerfully to Lu Yiming: "How do you feel now? It's written on Forbes that you are now one of the twenty most influential business tycoons in Asia."

Lu Yiming's legs were crossed on the table, and his upper body fell into the large and comfortable boss chair.He threw the Forbes magazine in his hand on the desk, and said leisurely: "There is nothing to show courteousness to, it's either rape or theft. Don't have any illusions about old beauty. When they praise you, you have to think Think about it, is there something that is not doing well. What about "Forbes", these are just false names."

These days, Laomei's image in the world seems to be quite positive, especially for Xia Guo, which is still relatively backward, the brilliance of the lighthouse is still very dazzling, and the air is full of sweet smells.Therefore, everyone still feels honored to be praised by Lao Mei.Even Li Yiwen felt honored to see Lu Yiming on the cover of "Forbes".

But Lu Yiming's eyes had already seen too much.So it is very clear that crows are generally black in the world, but the ass determines the head. Considering the environment he is in now, it is not a good thing to be praised by the US emperor.

However, Li Yiwen said seriously: "A false name can often bring real benefits, otherwise, why would there be so many people in this world working hard for fame?"

Lu Yiming remembered something interesting and immediately laughed.

"That's true. Just because I was on the cover of Forbes, the city has invited me to participate in several official tea parties. The meaning behind the words is that I hope that I can bring the money I earned in the United States back to China. Investment. The three links and one leveling are absolutely guaranteed, and if you want to get the land, the price is also negotiable."

This is the first time Li Yiwen heard Lu Yiming talk about this matter, and he was surprised: "The conditions are good. It seems that the officials are very sincere this time."

Lu Yiming naturally understands the reason why the government is so active. After all, if the domestic industry wants to develop, someone must invest, so attracting investment has become the top priority these days.As a native of the Xia Kingdom, he was naturally more likely to resonate emotionally.

The corners of Lu Yiming's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "It's really sincere."

Li Yiwen asked: "Then what do you think? I remember that you have been against transferring yourself to China before."

Hearing this, Lu Yiming smiled coldly, recalled the incident of the land auction back then, and said: "At this time, at that time, I had no power to protect myself. If the money is transferred back to China, if someone hacks it, I have no place to cry." Crying. But now, as long as I don't kill myself, who dares to touch a hair on me?"

Fame has its disadvantages and benefits, of course, with the aura of the richest man, Lu Yiming's every move at this moment will be stared under a magnifying glass, but if he makes a wrong step, he will be attacked by the crowd immediately.

But on the contrary, as long as Lu Yiming himself does not fall into the pit, many shady methods cannot be used against him.

Lu Yiming's decision was immediately unexpected by Li Yiwen.

"So, you are going to shift the center of investment to the mainland?"

Lu Yiming said solemnly: "Didn't I tell you before? The cold winter of the Internet is coming soon, and the entire U.S. stock market will be affected by then. If I don't run away, will I wait to die?"

Although Lu Yiming had said this many times before, Li Yiwen, who was in the middle of the game, still felt a little unbelievable: "The U.S. stock market is developing very well now, and it fell in the blink of an eye?"

"In this world, how can there be anything that lasts forever? What's more, in the US stock market, Wall Street has played too much. The Internet concept stocks have been hyped wildly, and it has completely become a game of drumming and passing flowers. It has deviated from the support of the Internet industry. From the original intention, such a situation is clearly unsustainable.”

Lu Yiming, who had experienced this scene before, naturally wouldn't be dazzled by the blooming flowers in front of him at this moment, he made up his mind to get out of the matter ahead of time.

When Lu Yiming was busy transferring funds from the United States back to China, Jack Ma, who hadn't contacted him for a long time, called.

He first complimented: "Mr. Lu, you flex your muscles in the United States and challenge Microsoft's hegemony. You are really a role model for us."

Lu Yiming was both familiar and unfamiliar with Jack Ma. After hearing this voice that seemed to have been heard countless times, Lu Yiming couldn't help but smiled knowingly, and said: "It's a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning. What about you? How are you doing recently?" ?”

With sufficient financial support from Lu Yiming, Jack Ma's life has become much easier, at least he no longer allows his followers to only get 500 yuan a month as a salary.He said gratefully: "Thanks to Mr. Lu for your help, our team is living a good life now."

Afterwards, he changed the subject and said, "I almost forgot, Mr. Lu, I called you today because I wanted to tell you that a senior analyst from Morgan Stanley Asia found me and said that there are investors looking at it. Joined my company and wanted to invest.”

"What?"

Lu Yiming was very unhappy, this Jack Ma was a potential stock he invested in, and now there are still people who want to get a share of it?

Is this reasonable?

This is not reasonable.

"What's the name of the analyst? I'm going to line up with him."

"Sun Zhengyi."

"..."

Lu Yiming couldn't help but gasped.

He is too familiar with the name Sun Zhengyi. Before his rebirth, this guy's chicken soup was everywhere, especially Jack Ma searched all the businessmen and institutions across the country, but couldn't get investment. Finally, he asked Sun Zhengyi, and Sun Zhengyi said nothing. He said he voted for Jack Ma, and after Jack Ma's Alibaba became popular, Sun Zhengyi made a lot of money.

This TM sounds like nonsense.

Think about it carefully, isn't this the standard format of public knowledge?Just to highlight the courage of foreigners, the more than one billion people in China have cerebral palsy, and they cannot see the potential of Alibaba.

Take a closer look, isn't this the typical packaging of the theory of the superiority and inferiority of races?
There are so many rich people in the country, and all of them were misjudged, but Sun Zhengyi voted. Are all the rich people in the country inferior to Sun Zhengyi?How do these people earn their money?
In fact, Sun Zhengyi also made some money at the university. Apart from this, almost all other businesses lost money.It was not until ten years after the establishment of Softbank that it was considered a transfer.

The truth of the story is that after Sun Zhengyi turned himself from a billionaire to a multi-millionaire through hard work, the blind cat ran into a dead mouse and voted for Alibaba, and was driven away by Alibaba.

In 24, at the age of 42, he established Software Bank. Within half a year of establishing Software Bank, he had transactions with [-] specialty stores in the island country and software practitioners who were dead, and persuaded Toshiba and Fujitsu to invest and expand the scale. Due to poor management and loss of money, he returned the original investment funds of the consortium after one year.

In 80.00, Sun Zhengyi founded two magazines "Oh! PC" and "Oh! MZ".Two months later, the return rate was as high as [-]%. Five, the piles of magazines were cut into pieces of paper.

In [-], with the help of Hashimoto Goro, Masayoshi Son founded the shopping guide magazine "TAG", but failed after many attempts, and finally closed due to poor sales, with a total loss of [-] million yen in the past six months , It took [-] million yen to deal with the aftermath, which together amounted to a debt of one billion yen.

It can be said that what is wrong is what.

Later, he didn't dare to play anymore. In 3000, he hooked up with Borland, which is famous for its C language compiler.In the same year, he persuaded Netwell, a professional regional network company in the United States, to create a new market in Japan. In order to diversify risks, he invited Disney to join in again. Turnover reached [-] million US dollars.

In 4000, Sun Zhengyi obtained the agency right of Cisco Systems, and suggested that Cisco use routers as a test to test the feasibility of the Cisco Island branch. One month later, he invited [-] clubs and jointly invested [-] million US dollars. ,Startup project.

In the same year, 70.00% of the island nation's software sales channels were controlled by Software Bank.

In November 200, he invested 30.00 million US dollars in Yahoo. In March [-], he invested another [-] million US dollars to own a [-]% stake in Yahoo.

In [-], invested US$[-] million in the famous ETrade online brokerage in the United States.

From these experiences, it can be seen that this guy has never done anything on his own, and was always taken away by others.

If you really want to brag about his awesomeness, maybe you can only brag about his accuracy in seeing people.

Now Sun Zhengyi has his eyes on Jack Ma and his Alibaba.

This made Lu Yiming puzzled.

Logically speaking, even if he drank half of the chicken soup, it was Jack Ma who begged Sun Zhengyi when he was desperate, and Sun Zhengyi invested.Why didn't Jack Ma ask Sun Zhengyi at this moment, and Sun Zhengyi came to the door by himself?

Could it be that the world line is coming to an end?
It's not scientific.

On the contrary, Jack Ma didn't think too much. He felt that Sun Zhengyi's investment in him was a recognition of his current career, so he talked a lot about the future prospects of e-commerce on the phone.

"Okay, stop talking."

Lu Yiming interrupted him bluntly and asked, "How much money does the grandson plan to invest?"

Facing the patron's father, Jack Ma, who was able to bend and stretch, was not displeased at all, and immediately said: "4000 million US dollars."

Lu Yiming couldn't help feeling a little toothache.

This guy is menacing.

Lu Yiming snorted coldly.

My Alibaba can also be meddled?
He immediately said: "It's just a few days before the Chinese New Year. I'm panicking at home. Let me go to your place to have fun. Are you still in Hangzhou now?"

"Okay. Yes."

After the phone call, Lu Yiming said to Li Yiwen: "Call the crew and apply for a temporary route. Let's go to Hangzhou."

Li Yiwen frowned: "Going to Hangzhou? Did something happen?"

Lu Yiming didn't hide anything, and said: "The meat in my bowl has been targeted by someone. I have to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to talk to Jack Ma, so that he won't be fooled by others."

Li Yiwen had also heard about Jack Ma, and immediately sneered: "With his mouth that can bring the dead back to life, are you still worried that he will be fooled? It would be good if he didn't fool people!"

After a pause, he said again: "I think you ran over this time because you were fooled by him."

For Jack Ma, Li Yiwen still looks down on him, always thinking that he is very unreliable.

I have taken tens of millions of investment from Lu Yiming, but I have not made any achievements until now. I know how to beat and brainwash my employees all day long. It is more like a pyramid scheme than a pyramid scheme.

What Li Yiwen couldn't understand the most was that Lu Yiming let this guy do his best, and now he was afraid that Jack Ma would be abducted by someone.

Regarding Li Yiwen's judgment, Lu Yiming just smiled and did not explain.

"Anyway, there are still a few days before the Chinese New Year, so you should go and have fun together, and see if he is fooling me or I am fooling him."

The next day, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen landed in Hangzhou.

At the airport, Jack Ma came to greet him with his eighteen arhats.

Looking at the private jet behind Lu Yiming, Jack Ma salivated enviously.

He thought that after he became famous, he must also buy a private jet of his own.

"Mr. Lu, long time no see. Hello, Manager Li."

Jack Ma greeted him enthusiastically.

Lu Yiming also greeted him with a smile: "It's true that I haven't seen you for a long time. How is your side doing recently?"

Li Yiwen nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Ma is good."

Jack Ma reported: "Thanks to you, everything is going smoothly. Mr. Lu is tired of driving, and it happens to be a restaurant now. Why don't we go to the West Lake to taste the West Lake Vinegar Fish, how about talking while eating?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I've heard that the West Lake vinegar fish is a must. It seems that I'm lucky today. Let's go."

The crowd drove to West Lake, found a high-end restaurant, and ordered to eat West Lake Vinegar Fish.

After a while, the West Lake Vinegar Fish was on the table, and Jack Ma asked the boss to serve another bottle of rice wine, and said enthusiastically: "Many places in our area produce rice wine, such as Nv'erhong and Zhuangyuanhong, which were very famous in ancient times. This bottle It is the 15-year-old Zhuangyuanhong. It has a rich taste and a long aftertaste, Mr. Lu, you must taste it.”

While talking, Jack Ma poured wine for both Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen.

The unique aroma of rice wine wafted out. Although Lu Yiming was not an alcoholic, he felt very good. He immediately said, "Good wine, good wine."

Jack Ma picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, Mr. Lu, Manager Li, I would like to toast you and welcome you to Hangzhou as guests."

"Come on, I wish Mr. Ma a prosperous business and soar into the sky."

Several people chatted with each other while tasting delicious food and wine.

Soon, everyone talked about Sun Zhengyi's investment in Alibaba.Lu Yiming asked a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"This Sun Zhengyi is far away in the island country now, how did he know you, and how did he contact you?"

Jack Ma said: "Not long ago we participated in an exchange event in the business community and met there. I talked to him about my entrepreneurial idea, and he appreciated it very much and insisted on investing $4000 million in me."

Lu Yiming knew very well that with Jack Ma's personality, these words were probably half-truths and half-false, but this was not important. The main fact now was investment, and he didn't need to care about other details.

"$4000 million, I want 40.00% of my shares, which is too much. I think it should be cut in half. $2000 million is an acceptable price."

Obviously, Jack Ma was moved, after all, it was 2000 million US dollars!

According to the current exchange rate, the money is 6000 million RMB!
As long as you sign, you will be worth over [-] million immediately. Not everyone can resist this kind of temptation.

According to the trend of history and Lu Yiming's understanding of Jack Ma, Lu Yiming feels that if he does not stop it now, it is very likely that a software bank will be added to Alibaba's major shareholders.

This is unacceptable to Lu Yiming.

The meat was all pulled into the bowl, and someone came to grab it, no one would be happy about it.

Lu Yiming said without hesitation: "I think accepting Sun Zhengyi's investment will be very detrimental to Ali's future development."

Jack Ma was puzzled and asked: "Why? Sun Zhengyi is the richest man in the island country, and he has a good cooperative relationship with the Morgan Stanley Group of the United States. This is a deep network, which will be of great benefit to Ali's future listing in the United States. "

Lu Yiming said righteously: "You are thinking too simply. You must know that it is easy to ask God to give God away. Sun Zhengyi is from an island country. Don't look at Xia Guo's reform and opening up, and the enthusiasm for foreign investment. But once it involves sensitive areas, you must not Foreign forces will be allowed to get involved, unless you want to give up Ali’s basic foundation in Xia Kingdom. Many things, the economy is the foundation, and politics is the superstructure. If your basic disk shakes the will of the higher-ups, what do you think will happen?”

Hearing that, Jack Ma was startled.

He admitted that he never thought about it in this way.

Lu Yiming's words can be said to awaken the dreamer.

He hurriedly asked, "Boss Lu, what do you think I should do?"

Seeing that Jack Ma finally became nervous, Lu Yiming immediately analyzed the pros and cons for him: "If you want to do e-commerce, it will inevitably involve the issue of online payment. And what is online payment? Isn't this a kind of virtual bank? When the time comes It is necessary to apply for a financial license, so tell me, has Xiaguo opened up this field to foreigners?"

After being reminded by Lu Yiming, Jack immediately reacted.

Finance is the core interest of a country, how can it be open to foreign investment?
