Chapter 729 The Way to Get Rich
Seeing the strange look in Tang Wanli's eyes, Lu Yiming quickly denied it and said, "How could I have forgotten that Delong Group is a large company worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and Mr. Tang and you have acquired so many industries. Invest? After all, I am a person who never fights unprepared."

Tang Wanli is a long-sleeved and good dancer, and he is the best at observing words and expressions. Although Lu Yiming explained it, he can tell that this Lu Yiming just forgot about the investment!
This made him feel the embarrassment and anger of having a hot face on a cold butt.

After all, the Delong Group is a cause he is proud of, and Lu Yiming's contempt made him very angry.

Just when Tang Wanli was about to say something, two people walked by and greeted him.

"Mr. Tang, so you are here, but I searched for you."

The person who spoke was Zhao Bin. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Yiming provocatively, and then said to Tang Wanli: "I am very interested in Delong Group, how about we talk about it?"

The east side is not bright and the west side is bright. Hearing that Zhao Bin is willing to invest, Tang Wanli was immediately overjoyed, but he did not show it too obviously, and said calmly: "Mr. Zhao is interested in our Delong, that is our blessing." Points. Don't worry about investing, let's find a place to talk slowly after the banquet is over."

Zhao Bin said: "Okay, I am very sincere."

Zhao Bin, who thought he had already captured Tang Wanli, did not forget to secretly demonstrate to Lu Yiming at this time, clearly wanting to "take love with a knife".

Luo Yongjie said to Lu Yiming with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I heard that you are also very interested in the Delong Group. It seems that our heroes see the same thing. You won't be angry if you are robbed of your chance?"

After getting to know Delong, Lu Yiming knew that this kind of company was not good, and it was not a normal business logic at all, so he was not interested, and he judged that this model would not last long.Seeing that Luo Yongjie and Zhao Bin were still vying to jump inside, although Lu Yiming had an angry look on his face, he was actually happy in his heart.

In order to make the two of them more firm in their confidence, Lu Yiming's eyes showed a little more anger, and he said through gritted teeth: "Mr. Who to cooperate with, this matter is not yet a foregone conclusion."

It was rare for Luo Yongjie to gain the upper hand in front of Lu Yiming. Seeing Lu Yiming's expression of gnashing his teeth at the moment, he immediately felt a little proud: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, Mr. Zhao and I have always acted vigorously and resolutely. As long as we find the right opportunity, we will never fail to talk." Come down and cooperate."

With a helpless expression on Lu Yiming's face, he said, "Oh, then I wish you two great success."

After showing off in front of Lu Yiming, Luo Yongjie and Zhao Bin left with Tang Wanli.

Ni Cong said unhappily: "Damn it, who is this? How can you be beaten more than you?"

Lu Yiming said indifferently: "It's just two dogs, you don't need to know each other."

Wang Dazhuang asked in surprise: "Aren't you usually the most vengeful? Why are you so calm now? They stole your business."

Lu Yiming didn't tell the two that the Delong line is a big thunderbolt, but just smiled casually and said, "There's never enough money to be made, so why should I be mad at them for taking business with their own abilities?"

But Ni Cong didn't believe it: "No, there must be something wrong with it. Your mind is smaller than the tip of a needle. If someone really took advantage of you, you wouldn't take revenge overnight."

Lu Yiming rolled his eyes and said depressedly: "Can't I reform my past?"

Ni Cong looked at Wang Dazhuang: "Do you believe it?"

Wang Dazhuang shook his head: "Ghosts believe it."

Two days later, the news really reported the cooperation between Zhao Bin and Tang Wanli.

Delong Group has received a large amount of capital injection, coupled with the Zhao family's network of contacts, its strength can be said to be even higher. It once again raised the banner to start a new round of mergers, and its stock price has also risen steadily.

And the media reporters who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal even reported the grievances and grievances between Lu Yiming and Zhao Bin in a large space. A horizontal bar intercepted the Delong Group and kicked Lu Yiming out.

"Shock!A man who deflated the richest man in Asia! "

"Shock!He actually did this to the richest man in Asia! "

"Is Lu's richest man defeated by Delong because he was too proud, or because of bad luck? "

The news media is full of excitement, and the melon-eating people all over the country are full of melons. After all, it is rare to see Lu's richest man suffer a loss in business, and everyone is happy.

In the office of Zhenxiang Catering Service Co., Ltd., Ni Cong pointed to the news in the newspaper, and smiled at Lu Yiming: "Look at what this is? It's so satisfying."

Seeing so many people waiting to see his jokes, Lu Yiming felt extremely distressed: "Is it necessary to hate the rich so much? Most of the leeks I cut are foreign. How can I be hated so much in China?"

Ni Cong shook his head and said, "Do you need a reason to hate the rich? Obviously everyone is so poor, but you are so rich, who is not hostile to you?"

Wang Dazhuang is also deeply convinced of this: "Yeah, even on the top [-] rich list, you seem to be very out of group. Everyone has hundreds of millions or billions of assets, but you break through [-] billion and stand alone. This is more popular than a tree. It's too much."

Lu Yiming shrugged slightly and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. I'm not interested in the Delong series. These people can eat melons if they like melons. I don't pay attention to small shrimps like Zhao Bin and Luo Yongjie." .”

He flipped through the financial newspaper in his hand and showed the contents to the two of them: "For me, this one is slightly qualified."

When Ni Cong saw it, he immediately exclaimed: "Fuck, the CEO of eBay is coming to Xiaguo?"

Lu Yiming said with a serious face: "That's right, I'm afraid it's aimed at me this time."

The news that Meg Whitman is about to arrive in Xiaguo was published on the newspaper, and eBay is aggressive this time, and the purpose is obvious - to completely occupy Xiaguo's e-commerce C2C market share.

A sword came to the west, sweeping away thousands of troops!

Compared with this majestic teacher of eBay, Jack Ma's Taobao is simply a group of wild bandits. The headline "Ants Beat Elephants" was directly written in the newspaper, implying that Jack Ma and Taobao are completely suicidal.

Ni Cong said: "By the way, you invested a lot of money in Jack Ma's body, wouldn't it be in vain?"

Although the money loss was not theirs, after all, Lu Yiming was a classmate, a roommate, and a business partner, and they didn't want Lu Yiming to lose money.

Wang Dazhuang comforted and said: "Don't think too much, Lu Yiming's family has a big business, even if this Taobao messed up and lost money, it would be a drop in the bucket for Lu Yiming, and it would not hurt his bones."

Seeing the negative attitude of the two, Lu Yiming immediately became unhappy, and shouted: "I don't like to hear what you say. The fight hasn't started yet. How can we be sure that we will lose? It can't be an ant fighting an elephant, an elephant Did you lose?"

Ni Cong complained: "What you say is not materialistic, right? EBay's market value is almost 300 billion, and it's still in US dollars. If you pull out a hair, you can crush Taobao to death. How do you win?"

Lu Yiming took out a ten-yuan note, shook it loudly, and then said with a smile, "How about we take a gamble? I dare to predict that within a year, Taobao will definitely win a big victory, gain a firm foothold, and be in the In the following three years, eBay will be expelled from the Xia Country market."

Ni Cong and Wang Dazhuang both booed: "Anyway, he is also the richest man in Asia, why don't you bet ten yuan?"

Lu Yiming yelled: "Is ten yuan less? You can eat two set meals at Zhenxiang Fast Food. Well, if you buy crispy ice cream, you can buy five!"

The two were disgusted for a while, but they each took out ten yuan and agreed to join the gamble.

On the plane, Meg Whitman was resting with her eyes closed. Her assistant, Ferdinand Hotham, reported a piece of information and told her: "Shao Yibo has agreed to sell eBay, and our only competitor in Xiaguo is now only Taobao is left."

"Taobao?"

Meg Whitman obviously didn't know there was such a company, so she asked, "What is the market value of this company?"

Ferdinand Hotham said: "The company is not listed yet."

"What about the valuation?"

"Because of the cold wave of the Internet, the valuation of this company is not stable, but now it is said that it has 200 million registered users."

"Hehe, with this strength, is he worthy of being our opponent?"

Meg Whitman is obviously very disdainful of Taobao. In her eyes, such a small company is no different from ants. If you pass by, you don’t know how many people will be trampled to death.

But assistant Ferdinand Hotham still reminded Meg Whitman: "Taobao's parent company is called Ali. This company is also nothing special, but the identity of its major shareholder is not ordinary. Maybe it deserves our attention."

"who is it?"

"It's Lu Yiming."

"Lu Yiming?"

Meg Whitman sat up straight immediately, with a surprised expression on her face.

"Why is it him?"

She has a headache.

After all, in July, she had just fought against Lu Yiming and suffered a lot, so she was forced to accept an offer that made eBay feel pain.

Because of this incident, many shareholders of eBay complained about Meg Whitman. After all, no investor wants to be taken for a ride.

However, Meg Whitman thought about it carefully, and a smile appeared on her face, and she said meaningfully: "This may be a good thing."

After suffering from Lu Yiming, how could Meg Whitman not want to make up for it?

This time, she planned to settle the old and new grudges with Lu Yiming together.

Hangzhou, Ali Group.

Ali at this time, after several years of development, is no longer a group of people huddled in a residential building listening to Jack Ma pouring chicken soup, and they have all moved into a spacious and bright office building.

At this moment, after learning that Meg Whitman, the boss of eBay, is coming to Xiaguo, everyone in the company looks like an enemy.After all, eBay has swept the Internet shopping market, and no one can beat it.With Ali's small size, eBay can win it without any effort.

In the face of absolute strength, any struggle is futile.

Who would not be afraid that a behemoth like Yibei would enter Xia Kingdom and start a business competition with them?
Jack Ma, who had just returned to Hangzhou from Zhonghai, felt his scalp tingling.Because what Lu Yiming said to him just now has become a prophecy.

EBay is coming in a fierce manner, and eBay has no power to parry, so how can Ali resist this wave?

Although Lu Yiming taught Jack Ma how Ali would make money in the future, he didn't say what Ali would do to survive after eBay came.

To be honest, Jack Ma is in a panic now, feeling that he is going to disappear this time and become a victim of eBay's domination of the world.

As a last resort, Jack Ma contacted Lu Yiming again.

"Mr. Lu, the female boss of Yibei has come to Xia Guo in person!"

After receiving Jack Ma's call, Lu Yiming was not nervous about it at all, and said with a smile: "Yes, and the person who came was not kind, did you pee your pants in fright?"

Although he was really flustered inside, Jack Ma still pretended to be calm and said: "Whether you win or lose, you have to fight to know."

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "As expected of an old horse, he really has a lot of ambition."

Afterwards, Lu Yiming went on to say: "Anyway, I am also the major shareholder of Ali now. Whatever you want to fight in this battle, you can just let it go. No matter what, I will fully support you. We are all Xia Guo people, no matter what happens We can't let an old hag from a foreign country bully me."

With Lu Yiming's all-out assistance, Jack Ma felt relieved, and he spoke a lot harder: "Boss Lu is right, my big country with a population of one billion should be afraid of him? But Boss Lu, now Shao Yibo We have already sold eBay to eBay for US$2.25 million, not only that, but eBay has also used its capital advantages to place provocative advertisements of 'go to eBay Taobao' on search engines and portals, and enforce online enforcement on our advertisements. Block it. It's coming menacingly."

Lu Yiming said: "This is indeed a problem, so have you ever thought about how to prevent this trick?"

This question is also what Jack Ma has been thinking about recently. Now when Lu Yiming asked him, he immediately said: "Our Taobao plans to adopt the strategy of surrounding the city from the countryside, and place advertisements on offline subways, buses, online text messages, emails, and personal websites. Let more people know the reputation of our Taobao."

Lu Yiming said: "Although this down-to-earth approach is good, brand reputation is also very important. Let's see, my cousin is the major shareholder of Qiandu, and I also have a lot of shares in [-].com. Bei's 'online blocking' tactic, I can help Ali crack it."

Jack Ma also knows that posting dog skin plaster advertisements is actually a way of playing Qishangquan. Although many people remember the brand and product, it is actually not compelling at all.But there is no way, the Internet is blocked, so I can only vote in physical advertisements.

However, Lu Yiming was willing to pull out the search website Qiandu and the portal website 21 to help Ali break the situation, which made Jack Ma overjoyed.

Nowadays, Sanqi 21 can be said to have become the leading portal website in China. Many people first open the website of Sanqi 21 in the browser, and then find the website they want to go to from the navigation interface. It can be said that it is a Pure traffic transfer station.And Qiandu is one step closer, you can find what you want directly by typing in the search bar.

With the support of these two websites, eBay's ban on Taobao will immediately become invalid.

"Mr. Lu, if this is the case, that would be great! With the help of Qiandu and Sanqi 21, we Ali can take the initiative."

Lu Yiming asked suspiciously, "Take the initiative?"

Jack Ma explained to Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu, eBay entered Xiaguo through the acquisition of eBay. Such a large international group must have plans for Xiaguo's e-commerce market, and sooner or later it will enter our Taobao territory. But the enemy is strong and we are If we are weak, it is not acceptable to be beaten passively, for us, offense is the best defense."

At this moment, watching the "ant" in front of him polish his knife and gun, and carefully prepare to attack the "elephant", Lu Yiming also felt emotional.

It’s no wonder that Jack Ma in history didn’t start the e-commerce field the earliest, didn’t get the most investment, and wasn’t the largest at the beginning, but he was the only one among all contemporary Xiaguo e-commerce companies that survived to the end. It can overthrow Yibei, which is in full swing, to the ground.

Jack Ma definitely contributed the most to this, and even his success has an element of luck.

But luck is illusory, but not everyone can grasp it.

Under such a dangerous situation, Jack Ma still wanted to take the initiative to attack and struggle to survive. It can only be said that behind every successful person, there is no luck.

Faced with Jack Ma's choice, Lu Yiming did not object.As the saying goes, those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Ali is so big now, like an egg in front of a big rock, which will shatter if touched casually.Since this is the case, it is better to take the initiative to attack, maybe the Yibei boat will turn around in a catastrophe, and it will give Ali a chance to breathe.

Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I will arrange it for you, come on!"

After the phone call with Lu Yiming, Jack Ma suddenly became more confident, rushed out of the office, and announced the good news to the people in the company.

Hearing that Lu Yiming agreed to help Ali break the situation, everyone cheered.

"Great, the richest man Lu is on our side!"

"If Lu's richest man makes a move, it's nothing to be afraid of."

"I didn't expect the richest man Lu to help us, that's great."

"Nonsense, the richest man Lu is our largest shareholder in Ali, okay?"

The halo on Lu Yiming's body is so bright that he has almost become a mythical figure in the circle now.Not to mention that every time he makes a move, there must be a big harvest. Even if he doesn't make a move, he will follow his words and be regarded as a golden rule.

Soon, Taobao and eBay launched a war of great disparity between strength and weakness.

For Taobao, this battle is a battle for the establishment of a country, and if you lose, you have to finish it.

But in the eyes of Meg Whitman, the president of eBay, this is clearly a commercial encounter.
