Chapter 616: Paradise City and his party
Yitang City Chengxi High-tech Industrial Zone, No. 99 Huaxing Road, Entrepreneurship Building.
Several founders and executives of Alibaba led by Jack Ma quickly walked out of the building's gate with curious eyes from the Alibaba employees of the building.
Andy and his team's convoy had already entered the entrance canopy of the Entrepreneurship Building. The black glowing Maybach 62s stopped. The two cars in front and behind quickly jumped off the four giant bodyguards led by Joseph, which made Jackma and his group who were greeting him were slightly surprised and stunned.
The door in the rear row of Maybach opened, and Li Xiaoying, wearing a black modified cheongsam-style short-sleeved long skirt, walked out of the car first, and stood next to the door with a calm smile. Andy's tall figure and young and handsome face appeared in front of everyone, making everyone present sigh.
"Hello, Mr. Smith, I am Jackma, welcome to Ali." Jackma smiled brightly and walked up, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Andy who was also smiling.
"Hello, Jack, you can call me Andy. I'm very happy to see you, and I'm honored to come to Ali. At the same time, I'm happy to be lucky enough to witness the rise of a great company with you." Andy's smile was bright, and his standard Mandarin made everyone sigh again. Looking at Jack Ma who was only 166 cm tall and not good-looking, he gave him a very deep first impression. His eyes were very bright, emitting the light of wisdom, and his eyes were lively, giving people a very alert feeling.
Andy's words made Ali people, including Jack Ma, feel very comfortable. Looking at the handsome foreigner in front of him, he was even more pleasing and friendly. He was not as arrogant or arrogant as they imagined. He looked at people with nostrils and was very well-educated. He couldn't help but sigh that he was a child of an old family.
Then Jack Ma smiled happily and introduced him to Andy's management team. Andy shook hands with everyone with a charming smile.
"Andy, please come in." Jackma did not make too many politeness, but directly accepted Andy's proposal to call him by his name. During the exchange with foreign tourists from West Lake, he not only learned language, but also foreign culture, so he would not feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable when dealing with foreigners.
"Thank you." Andy nodded with a smile, and walked into the entrepreneurial building side by side with Jack Ma. Along the way, although each Alibaba employee was curious about what big shots came and glanced at them for a few times, no one stopped or gathered together to discuss them. They were very busy, very rushing, and very fast pace.
In the conference room, Andy kept smiling and listened to the talkative, talkative Jack Mada Talk. He was very good at speaking and very good at speaking. In Andy's opinion, he was not only an entrepreneur, dreamer, but also an orator.
Talk about Alibaba's entrepreneurship, Alibaba's dreams, Alibaba's model, Alibaba's changes to society, economy, and people, Alibaba's prospects and future...
The endless talk is very attractive. The views seem very novel and advanced at the moment, but in the eyes of Andy, the monster, many of them are just Jack Ma's dreams now. In Jack Ma's words, dreams still need to be there. What if they come true?
Regardless of whether others believe in his dream or not, he will use his innate confidence and his eloquence to make others believe that this dream may be realized, which is very contagious.
Andy couldn't help but think of a comment about Jack Ma, "He sells dreams, but he is a practical worker. So you have dreams, he has money."
In the conference room, the people from Ali looked at the young Andy Smith from time to time. They naturally knew Jack Ma and the others very well. However, when they saw Andy Smith, a foreigner, didn't feel impatient, but instead heard it very seriously. They had a smile on their face from beginning to end. They were really an elegant noble man. And they didn't show any confusion about Jack Ma's Chinese citations. And no one thought Andy pretended to be calm.
"Why? Andy, why did we decide to join before our Alibaba went public? You should know that many foreign institutions are very optimistic about us and even equate us with synonyms for counterfeit and shoddy goods. Are you not worried about the investment failure?" Jackma's sudden question made everyone's attention focus on Andy.
Andy knew that Jackma wanted to weigh himself, and it seemed very rude, but he didn't care. He just smiled and said, "Customer, Alibaba's attention to customer service is the main reason why I decided to invest, and it is also an important factor in my opinion that Alibaba can defeat the strong with the weak and defeat it in the battle with ebay.
ebay's resources are much larger than Alibaba, but ebay's playing style is the idea of an American academic MBA. As a professional student born in MBA, every move of ebay can be accurately predicted.
Of course, the most important thing is that Taobao has three years of free, and then three years of free. This strategy directly hits ebay's seven holes, and ebay cannot announce it for free. If it is played like this, ebay will plummet.
Taobao's strategy is actually in line with the needs of users of Rabbit. Rabbit users are completely different from American users. American users start by selling things in the basement of their homes online when they go to ebay; while Rabbit users do not have these things at all. Their needs are to buy all kinds of new things that they have never bought or seen before.
Therefore, ebay opposes direct contact between users, but Taobao encourages users to contact, and even encourages users to communicate through e-commerce through software like Alibaba Wantwang.
The subsequent launch of payment and other products is all because it meets the needs of users! The so-called "going with the trend and following the trend of users" can lead to no disadvantages."
Andy's Mandarin is a serene Mandarin, and the calm and calm speech speed is added. The analysis of each key point and the perspective of entry are very accurate and novel, which makes Alibaba executives and Jack Ma nodded in agreement. Once again, they felt the strength of the young man in front of them. They really did not invest casually, but they really studied Alibaba and decided to invest after they fell in love with Alibaba.
However, only Jack Ma looked at Andy with a little complexity and difficulty in understanding. Instead, he became alert to the young and indifferent largest shareholder in front of him. The more he was wiser, the harder it was to fool around. His next layout might require more caution.
Similarly, Andy never felt relieved by Jack Ma, nor had he planned to make friends with him, because even if he made friends with him and really needed to compete for interests, Jack Ma would choose interests without hesitation, so don't do anything false. It is the interest relationship between investors and investors is simpler. When Jack Ma is about to damage the interests of shareholders, he can react directly.
To be honest, Alibaba's future money prospects are really tempting, but Andy has always been wary of Jack Ma's character.
There is no doubt that Jackma has promoted the rapid development of e-commerce and related industries in the country. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the industry's flagship. However, on the eve of the upcoming richest man in Rabbit, the seriously overdrafted integrity account did not make him a hero convinced by all parties. Many people believe that when we need integrity protection, facing the overwhelming high imitation shoes on the international station, Jackma mercilessly took off the Alibaba Ceo on Weizhe's head and banned all IPs and customers in the region; when we need to obtain the first batch of third-party payment licenses, Jackma purported the law and safety supremacy, and secretly operated to harm the interests of shareholders, and got out of the spirit of contract; when Alibaba became a powerful e-commerce empire, Jackma severed the "free" flag; as for the promises of not establishing his own logistics, people can only "hehe" in Jackma's repeated rebellion.
Andy remembers a classic quote that Jackma later said might summarize why he was able to make those criticized decisions, "When you succeed, everything you say is truth."
Everyone's communication was very pleasant, at least they seemed very satisfied. As for what they thought in their hearts, only the individual knew. The next thing was to visit Alibaba. To be honest, Andy was very interested in Alibaba's internal operations, so after a round trip, it was already noon.
"The first floor is full of wind and moon, and the mountains of Ten Miles of Lakes are drunk. "Andy stood at the entrance of the famous West Lake restaurant, whispering the couplets on both sides." The Tower is like a pearl embedded in the mountains and water, shining brightly. It has been here for 166 years. "Jack Ma smiled and introduced to Andy who was reciting couplets, "Let's go, know you are a foodie, but today I have prepared many delicacies for you, you will definitely like it." "West Lake Vinegar Fish..." Andy asked with a smile. Of course,
This is the most famous signature dish, such as Song Sao Fish Soup, Honey Fire Sauce, Longjing Shrimp, Dongpo Braised Meat, Beggar Chicken, Dried Fried Bells... No one is missing. Only the one here is the most authentic. This carving is "Dongpo Shunhu Picture", which truly and vividly records and reflects the historical story of Su Dongpo leading the crowd to dredge West Lake and build Su Di and build six bridges more than 900 years ago. "Jackma was walking with Andy while smiling and introducing the dishes to Andy with a clear understanding, and at the same time, he also pointed to the beautiful carvings in the corridor to explain.
Andy had a great time for lunch. Perhaps because the person who was inviting him was Jack Ma. All the dishes in Louwailou were very delicious. After eating the perfect delicacies, he led him to a teahouse by West Lake. He lived by the lakeside and found a window near the lake. He looked at the lake like a mirror and was leisurely. He admired the beautiful ancient costume tea artist wearing white Su embroidery and showed his exquisite curves while doing tea art performances while explaining some professional knowledge.
Looking at the four tea mats with great characteristics on the table: blue and white, purple clay, celadon, and color glaze. I admire the typical Jiangnan gentle woman's jing Zhanzhan tea art, and my words speak softly.
Warm cups of sanitary ware, pour tea, soak the fragrance, brew, produce soup...
The one used a color glaze cover bowl, and the one brewed the West Lake Longjing." Water draws longnail liquid, and tea cooks the bird's tongue. As a result, it was drunk and played with rugged. "Andy drank a sip of Longjing, couldn't help but sigh, and recited a poem by Tong Hanchen of the Ming Dynasty, "Longjing Tea Trial" by Tong Hanchen of the Ming Dynasty." Hum? Why do you look at me like this? "Andy put down the tea bowl, with an expression of unsatisfactory expression, looked up and saw that everyone, including the beautiful tea artist, stared at him with wide eyes, and asked in confusion." Mr. Smith, you are a real Huaxia master, and you can write poems at your own discretion, which makes us feel a little ashamed. "A senior executive of Ali who accompanied him smiled and shook his head and exclaimed. "Haha, you should feel that a foreigner not only speaks Mandarin very well, but also can recite ancient poems. It is very inconsistent with my face, right?" "Haha..."
