Wall Street Legend

After eating snacks and looking at the Qinhuai River, I treated it as a trip while dealing with official duties. There was no need for me to be too tired.

Miss Sun Yi feels very good. The only pity is that I didn’t choose the right time and it has been very cold recently.

While tasting the crab roe soup dumplings, she suddenly asked Ye Dongqing a question: Facebook is so perfect, why don't you come here to develop? I saw it in the news. It said that you gave up the idea of ​​developing here. This is real?

That's more or less the case, but that's not entirely true. I've also participated in this country's Internet development wave by investing in similar local companies. It's just that it's not the Internet programs you often come into contact with. The situation here is a little different.

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

Someone contacted Ye Dongqing and said that he wanted to have a meal in the evening to catch up with the wind and cleanse the dust. However, he declined politely, saying that he was not feeling well after taking a long flight.

Rather than meaningless social interactions, he preferred to waste time on the things he wanted to do, so he took Sun Yi around for a walk. He was still walking on the street, with a boat passing by in the river next to him.

In his previous life, few Facebook, Amazon, or other Silicon Valley Internet companies successfully developed in China. Ye Dongqing knew these things.

It’s not that these programs are not good enough, but there are barriers. It is difficult to get in without making huge changes. However, making changes also means discarding some parts. It is better to invest directly in local enterprises.

Sun Yi knew little about this, and seeing that Ye Dongqing did not continue, he did not ask any further questions.

She is not interested in these things at all, she just wants to find some topics to talk about. Learning English cannot be done quickly in a few months. The vocabulary limits the content of the chat. We haven’t seen each other for a few months, and it’s still the same person. Quite an interesting girl.

That night.

At first, they lived in two separate rooms. Ye Dongqing was a little cautious at first, but unfortunately jet lag made it a mess, and she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.

I didn't wake up until about nine o'clock the next morning and saw a text message from the director of the Huaxia Branch of Tamsui Investment Group, saying that yesterday afternoon, Boss Zhang suddenly announced in the capital market that he would sell his shares in a package and wanted to go because of physical reasons. Get into some more relaxed investing business.

This is a beautiful saying, but few people know the real reason.

Hundreds of millions of dollars were involved, and it would be difficult to cash out in a short period of time. Ye Dongqing smiled after seeing this news and replied that a management team would be dispatched from Xiangjiang to Longteng Mobile Phone Company to keep an eye on it. To be honest, he was a little worried about that guy. Do something bad before leaving.

There is basically no R\u0026D team, so if the management is removed, the company will not collapse. Last year, the accounting firm told him that the accounts were not correct, and about 40 to 50 million yuan was missing. As for Fei, Boss Zhang said that the normal expenses of the public account cannot be used openly. If the current team leaves, it can just take the opportunity to rectify it.

From now on, even the company he manages must not give reporters from the United States or other countries any clues, otherwise it will be very ugly if the news spreads...

******

I have no acquaintances or friends locally.

After getting up, he ate some authentic soup dumplings and learned that people were being sent from Shanghai. Ye Dongqing felt bored and went directly to the airport.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived near Xixi. The company stopped looking around and took the initiative to say that they wanted to go to the West Lake.

Holding a package of fish food in his hand, a large group of brightly colored koi carps were fighting for food in the pond. Jack Ma and Ye Dongqing met very few times, because they both wanted to be friends, and the atmosphere was pretty good when they got along.

In addition, Jack can speak well and his English is pretty good, at least much better than Pawnee. From the history to the economic environment, there is no lag at all.

While chatting, the topic was brought up again about listing.

I met the boss of Japan's SoftBank Group once. When he came to New York, he took the initiative to invite me to dinner. Judging from what I learned during the conversation, he, like me, seemed not to list Alibaba Group in the short term. idea.

Don't worry, there is no shortage of money or development prospects now, so why go public? It will only be us shareholders who suffer losses from the listing. If you are short of money, just come to me at any time.

Ye Dongqing expressed his thoughts again.

Jack was silent for a few seconds, and then said with a smile: You have seen more, and you have seen a lot of giant companies in Silicon Valley. I know your idea is correct. Maybe it was because you were too poor before, and I can't compare to your worth now. I am still obsessed with going public and gaining recognition from others. Recently, I am learning Tai Chi, hoping that this will calm my mind and become a more qualified business manager.

His English is really good, and his understanding of Western cultural background is even better. These words may not be appropriate for the locals, because no one likes to expose their own shortcomings.

But Ye Dongqing didn't think it was a big deal. He was used to being straightforward, and beating around the bush would make him uncomfortable.

He replied: You are already a very good manager, but you really don't need to go public in the next few years, and you don't need to consider it for at least five years. There are other reasons why I let Poni's Tencent go public. , all you need to focus on now is to continue to expand the market, increase transaction volume and profits, and pay attention to controlling all types of unnecessary expenses.

Taobao's development model can be said to be unique and very different from eBay. As long as you maintain the current growth rate, your name may be listed on the Forbes rich list in a few years. However, if you only have one Alibaba Group, Then the net worth will definitely not exceed mine.

The last line was a joke, so Jack Ma laughed.

After all, the richest man in the world is standing next to him. Who can compare with Ye Dongqing? At this moment, his worth is about a hundred times that of Jack. It is not easy to shorten the gap, let alone surpass him.

I clapped my hands and continued to wander along the road. There were locals leading the way, so just follow.

The scenery of West Lake will not make people feel amazing. There are lakes and trees, coupled with a strong sense of history, it will not make people feel that they are at a loss.

After exchanging ideas about Taobao’s development plans, we quickly boarded a boat to cruise around the West Lake. There was an interpreter talking to Sun Yi, and he was not left out.

Dinner was to be had at the building outside the building. Beggar’s chicken was a must, as well as roast duck, fish in vinegar and so on. Ye Dongqing said he wanted to eat something spicy, so a spicy chicken and a fish soup with pepper were quickly delivered. He told Alibaba The senior executives had a meal and then took a bus to visit the company.

It was more lively than at Longteng Mobile Phone Company. He brought some small gifts to China this time. There were 3,000 iTouch units in total, and half of them were dragged over to prepare for distribution to the employees...
