When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Since the millennium, foreign capital has poured into China at a level of more than US$140 billion each year.

Over the past 15 years, foreign capital has invested more than 2 trillion yuan in the country.

Among the more than 2 trillion yuan, there are securities investments, equity investments, other investments, etc.

As mentioned earlier, China’s Internet was moved from the West, and so is the entire ecosystem.

Just look through the news and you can see that in the early days, many domestic Internet companies received foreign investment, and the capital was injected in rounds one after another.

In the end, the founders of some large Internet companies are no longer the largest shareholders and have lost control of the company.

The real major shareholder had already become foreign capital in secret.

So in this way, in many cases, we will be restricted.

Like this moment.

When Qualcomm instigated the EDA Alliance and many EDA software companies to stand up and openly attack Wang Donglai.

In China, many people are also following Qualcomm's footsteps.

In his own way, he questioned and criticized Wang Donglai in various aspects.

Even when Wang Donglai asked Galaxy Technology to publicly announce that it had developed an EDA software, these people did not stop.

Therefore, when the news came out that Wang Donglai was preparing to hold an internal industry meeting in the semiconductor field in Tangdu City, it immediately attracted attention.

At this juncture, Wang Donglai suddenly proposed to hold an internal industry meeting in the semiconductor field, which naturally made people think more.

In particular, Zhang Rujing personally stepped forward and used his connections to invite various technical leaders to participate.

It will attract more attention from industry insiders.

At the same time, some compradors with malicious intentions also made up their minds and rushed to the Tang capital.

Tang City.

Wang Donglai was chatting with Jack Ma at this time.

I don’t know what happened, but Wang Dong thought that he had not shown any mercy to Jack Ma when he had contact with him before.

Logically speaking, a person like Jack Ma would have been angry a long time ago, and Wang Donglai would not be surprised even if he hated him because of this.

But Jack Ma acted as if nothing had happened and called Wang Donglai from time to time.

Sometimes he invited Wang Donglai to attend gatherings of business tycoons, and sometimes he invited Wang Donglai to attend some high-end private events.

Faced with these invitations, Wang Donglai naturally rejected them all.

Jack Ma was not discouraged and continued to contact Wang Donglai unilaterally.

It is worth mentioning that after Galaxy Technology became a group, several companies were separated from it.

Originally, Wang Donglai was ready to open up the investment channel and accept outside investment, but was rejected by Zhang Bietian, Huang Zheng and others.

However, Jack Ma, who had already taken a fancy to TikTok, still did not invest money in it.

Wang Donglai speculated that Jack Ma had contacted him frequently during this period probably because he saw the potential of Galaxy Technology.

However, it is difficult for Wang Donglai to verify this speculation.

"Professor Wang, aren't you curious about why the EDA Alliance suddenly attacked you this time, and why overseas giants such as Synopsys and Cadence Electronics followed suit?"

Jack Ma deliberately kept the secret, wanting to see if Wang Donglai would get anxious.

However, Wang Donglai remained very calm.

"Boss Ma, I heard that you like martial arts novels and even have a rule in the company that employees should come up with nicknames. I would like to ask, Boss Ma, in martial arts novels, if the leader of the martial arts world discovers a martial arts genius whose martial arts skills are even higher than the leader, what would the leader do?"

Wang Donglai did not answer directly, but asked back with a smile.

Jack Ma was slightly stunned. He did not expect Wang Donglai to react like this, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "If I were the leader of the martial arts world, I would accept him as my disciple, betroth my daughter to him, pass on my martial arts skills to him, and finally pass on my position as the leader of the martial arts world to him!"

"Mr. Ma, I believe Mr. Ma is telling the truth, but he didn't answer my question."

"Let me add two more words. Although this martial arts leader seems to be still in his prime and strong, his martial arts skills have been largely abandoned. It's just that due to his former majesty and domineering attitude, no one dares to provoke him."

"And this young warrior is both young and strong. He comes from a martial arts family and has served as the leader of the martial arts world for generations. It's just that he has fallen into decline in recent years."

"Now that this warrior has appeared, what do you think the leader of the martial arts world will do? What is the best option?"

Wang Donglai had a relaxed smile on his face. After he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and poured a cup of tea for himself and Jack Ma.

Jack Ma's expression had become somewhat serious at this time. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although the young warrior has a good background, he is still young after all. He must not have enough experience in the martial arts world and cannot serve as the leader of the martial arts world."

When Wang Donglai heard Jack Ma say this, he burst out laughing.

"Forget it, let's not embarrass Mr. Ma!"

"Let me answer this myself. If this martial arts leader is smart, the first step he will take is to set traps for the young warrior's weaknesses, such as beauty, power, and wine, and use methods such as flattery to manipulate the young warrior."

"If the first step works, the next step is either to sit back and watch this young warrior be crippled, or to learn the young warrior's martial arts and use them for your own benefit."

"It's nothing more than treating guests, beheading, and accepting them as dogs."
"Mr. Ma, you are a veteran in the business world and have much more life experience than me. Do you think I am right?"

Wang Donglai looked at Jack Ma with interest and said deliberately.

Jack Ma smiled awkwardly, the embarrassment flashed away, and he said with a smile: "Professor Wang is indeed worthy of being the most promising scholar in the country. No wonder he can develop Galaxy Technology to this level."

"Speaking of this, I remember one thing. When Professor Wang first entered the university, he published an SCI article. This article showed Professor Wang's ability. The technical department also noticed this and wanted to recruit Professor Wang to the company. But they found out that Professor Wang was a new student, so they dropped the idea."

"If I had known this at the beginning, I would definitely spend 100 million to directly poach Professor Wang and acquire Galaxy Technology as well."

"It's a pity that I didn't know it at the time and missed a good opportunity!"

Jack Ma looked extremely regretful and sighed out loud.

In fact, Jack Ma still beautified the real situation. After knowing this incident, he was very angry and immediately fired the person who refused the technical department's suggestion. Even the superior of this person was implicated and his rank was downgraded.

Later, Jack Ma said that he would spend 100 million to recruit Wang Donglai and acquire Galaxy Technology, which was just a polite remark.

Wang Donglai didn't believe it, and Jack Ma himself didn't believe it either.

Although he didn't believe it, Wang Donglai didn't say it out loud, nor did he show it.

"That's true. Mr. Ma missed a good opportunity. But I think that even if such an opportunity comes a few more times, Mr. Ma will still miss it." Wang Donglai spoke very directly, without giving any face.

"It seems that Professor Wang is very confident!"

"Technology is the most fundamental. I have this technology, and it will not be replaced by anyone. Of course I am confident!"

“It’s good for young people to have confidence, but technology is something that no one can predict for sure, so it’s better to be humble!”

"Mr. Ma, this is the difference between us. Mr. Ma is more modest and reserved, but we are more concerned with our own personality. This is a change of the times."

"It seems that Professor Wang is saying that I am old!"

Wang Donglai smiled and said nothing more.

The smile on Jack Ma's face gradually faded, and he became serious. He slowly said, "Professor Wang, we are all knowledgeable people, so I will not hide it anymore. This time it is Qualcomm that took action, and they have set their sights on Galaxy Technology."

"As long as Galaxy Technology is willing to provide shares, Qualcomm can carry out multi-faceted and in-depth strategic cooperation."

"It's a win-win situation for both sides. With the help of Qualcomm, Galaxy Technology can go beyond the domestic market and enter the international market, thereby making more money."

“Sometimes, doing business is not that simple!”

Jack Ma’s words should almost be explicit, and the meaning is very simple.

Wang Donglai was not surprised. In fact, he knew Jack Ma's intention just now, and he used the example of the leader of the martial arts world to express his attitude.

However, no one expected that Jack Ma would not give up.

"Boss Ma, my meaning is very clear!"

"If it's just a simple business cooperation, I'm not willing to accept foreign capital. If it's not a simple business cooperation, but foreign capital wants to use some means to force me to agree, I will definitely not agree!"

"If you count the domestic Internet companies and many well-known brands, you will see how much shares foreign capital holds."

"It is not normal for a country with the largest population in the world to not even have its own top brands!"

"Over the years since the reform and opening up, a large part of the wealth created by countless hardworking Chinese people has flowed away and become the high welfare benefits of developed Western countries."

"Taobao generates 10 yuan of profit, and how much of it can be kept in China? Mr. Ma knows this better than I do."

Jack Ma frowned and immediately interrupted Wang Donglai.

"Professor Wang, as businessmen, it is better for us not to get involved too much in these things. When it comes to business, there are some things that we cannot discuss or consider."

"As for what you said, I know that everyone knows it, but to be honest, not many people care."

"I founded the company not to make contributions, not to promote employment, and certainly not to become a big taxpayer. I just wanted to make money."

"When the company makes money, I have money. I can buy luxury cars, wear famous watches, live in villas, and enjoy the treatment of a boss."

"This is my original intention. As for other things, such as employment and social responsibility, they are all incidental."

“This world is a material world. People cannot live on faith alone. Only when you have enough material things can you be qualified to talk about faith.”

"From the beginning to the end, beliefs and ideals will never come first."

"Xiao Wang, you are only in your twenties, still very young, have never been out in society, and have spent most of your time doing scientific research. You may not understand these things."

"If you didn't have Galaxy Technology, you might not be able to keep your patents, and you might not be able to develop so smoothly. Tangdu Jiaotong University, Tangdu City, and even Qin Province might not value you so much and support you!"

"In many people's minds, your identity as the founder of Galaxy Technology is more important than that of a genius scholar."

"I call you Professor Wang just to borrow your knowledge to add some style, not to say that the identity of professor is really great."

"There are many ways to realize personal value. I understand your idea."

"You still hold onto unrealistic fantasies and think this is still the heyday of the past."

"If you really want to do something, I have an idea. I am going to develop a charity event on Ant Financial."

"All Alipay users can join in, and everyone can get a virtual sapling. As long as they nurture it carefully, when the tree grows up, I will really plant a tree in the real world."

"When the time comes, we will choose the northwest region as the location for planting trees to prevent desertification and plant trees."

Wang Donglai had to admire Jack Ma. He was indeed a teacher and a big shot who developed Alibaba to its current level.

Ant Forest is indeed a public welfare activity.

But this does not mean that this project will lose money.

First of all, by carrying out this activity, we attracted users and increased the daily activity of the software.

Users feel that they are doing something to protect the environment, that they are involved, and that they are motivated.

Alibaba can also increase its daily active users and advertising revenue through this activity, and build a traffic moat. After all, users' time is fixed, and if they spend more time here, they will have less time for other software.

At the same time, the trees planted can also earn profits through carbon trading.

Finally, through such a charity event, Jack Ma and Alibaba will gain huge reputation, which is equivalent to building a golden statue for Jack Ma. Not only will it win the public's praise, but it will also receive official recognition.

Wang Donglai didn't believe that Jack Ma didn't know about such an event. If he didn't know about this, Jack Ma would never make this decision.

"Mr. Ma's charity event is really great. I think we can cooperate with him!"

Although he knew about this charity event, Jack Ma did not carry it out purely for charity.

However, Wang Donglai understood one thing more clearly, that is, a gentleman is judged by deeds rather than by heart, and no one is perfect when it comes to heart.

Jack Ma is willing to do such things and take such risks, which is much better than other capitalists.

"Okay, the cooperation is settled!"

Hearing Wang Donglai's agreement, Jack Ma quickly confirmed it, fearing that Wang Donglai would go back on his word.

"Mr. Ma, I think you should think more about what I said. It is definitely a good thing to cut ties with foreign capital in a timely manner, and the sooner the better!"

Wang Donglai thought about it and decided to give another word of advice.

Jack Ma said nonchalantly: "Professor Wang, you are just too timid and too wary of foreign capital. This is totally unlike the courage a young person should have!"

Seeing this, Wang Donglai shook his head and said no more.

After all, good words can't persuade the damned Gui. He has given Jack Ma several chances. (End of this chapter)
