Chapter 1162 Disgusted by Li Mu

Zhao Xianliang could hardly believe that Li Mu casually took out 2 billion to prepare supplies for an unforeseen epidemic.

Li Mu repeated it very seriously: "Yes, Uncle Zhao, at least two billion."

"My God!" Zhao Xianliang didn't expect that Li Mu would dare to take out 2 billion to hoard related materials in one breath. After recovering, he blurted out and asked Li Mu: "What are you hoarding so many epidemic-related materials at this time? What do you want to do?"

Because Li Mu has a Taobao website, Zhao Xianliang subconsciously thought that Li Mu was going to take this opportunity to make a fortune. As long as the purchase price of 2 billion, as long as the normal market rules are followed, he will be able to achieve retail sales of more than 3 billion or even more than 4 billion. If According to the profit rate of the normal retail industry, after selling these 2 billion goods, it should be able to obtain a profit of about 500 million yuan, and Li Mu is doing e-commerce, which saves many costs that the physical retail industry must bear, so the profit rate will be higher.

And all of this is only under normal market rules. If Li Mu's 2 billion materials are in extreme shortage or madly robbed, then the profit, let alone 580 million, may even double directly on the basis of 2 billion. Investing 2 billion in, it should be easy to make a net profit of 2 billion by then, and it is not impossible to make a higher profit.

It's just, how can you make this money casually! What's the difference between this and making a fortune?

When Zhao Xianliang questioned Li Mu, he was already a bit sullen in his heart.

Xie Yun was also a little surprised, looking at Li Mu with a look of disbelief.

She didn't want to believe that Li Mu was going to take the opportunity to make a fortune, but if Li Mu invested the 2 billion not to make money, but to control the epidemic, she couldn't believe it. After all, 2 billion is not a small amount, who would do it for To control an epidemic that is unknown whether it will break out or not, invest so much to prepare?

But what Li Mu said next made Zhao Xianlianghe speechless in shock.

Li Mu said: "Uncle Li, some of these materials will be donated to the medical and health system to fight SARS. Of course, the most important thing is to prepare various chemical protective suits and other biochemical defense equipment for medical staff. The rest Part of it will be used to maintain a stable supply of domestic related materials, to avoid panic in various places due to shortages of related materials, and to prevent profiteers from taking this opportunity to hoard materials, raise prices on the ground, and disrupt the market."

After speaking, Li Mu further explained: "The first part is purely donated, this part is jointly paid by Taobao and Muye Technology, and the second part is for business, but Taobao will not get an extra penny of benefits. , all of which are capped by capital-guaranteed operation, and will be sold at a price lower than the cost price when needed, and Taobao and Muye Technology will jointly bear the loss.”

As soon as this is said,

Zhao Xianliang was extremely ashamed. Li Mu spent such a large amount of funds to prevent the spread of the epidemic and cause social phenomena, but he subconsciously felt that he was going to take the opportunity to make money. In such a comparison, it really seemed that his mind and vision were compared with Li Mu's. There is a big gap.

Xie Yun looked at her daughter Zhao Ziqiu subconsciously and sighed in her heart: My good girl, what kind of monster are you looking for to make your parents feel ashamed in front of him.

Zhao Xianliang asked Li Mu at the moment: "With so much investment, what if the epidemic does not break out, what should I do with these materials?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Sell it slowly on Taobao, or donate it to those who need it. I didn't say it just now. Taobao and Muye Technology will bear this part of the loss together. The mere 2 billion will not bring any damage to the two companies. any real impact."

After the C-round financing of Muye Technology, there are tens of billions of RMB in cash on the account. Although the spending speed is fast, it is still in the scale of tens of billions. Taobao's current precipitation funds have also approached 10 billion. With the size of these two companies, they can absorb the loss of 2 billion together. I dare not say that it is irrelevant, but it will not hurt the bones.

Zhao Xianliang couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and when he was excited, his brain became hot, and he blurted out to Li Mu: "In this way, I will also invest 500 million and leave it to you to operate. The specific operation principle is the same as your 2 billion. !"

For a real entrepreneur like Zhao Xianliang who takes the asset-heavy route, 500 million in cash is a big amount. It is much harder for him to take out 500 million in cash than Li Mu's 500 million.

When Xie Yun heard her husband's promise, she frowned subconsciously, but she quickly relaxed. Her daughter's boyfriend had such courage, her husband responded positively, and she should not hold back.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu said with a smile: "Uncle, the reason why we set a material reserve plan of 2 billion is because I judged that 2 billion should be enough, not to mention that some of YY's resources will be replaced. So in general, the total amount of materials will increase to a certain extent, and if you add so much money now, it is actually unnecessary, and I am afraid it will cause a lot of waste."

Zhao Xianliang thought for a moment and thought that what Li Mu said was reasonable. If Li Mu had already figured out the approximate material gap and provided enough funds to fill the gap, it really didn't make much sense for him to add more funds.

So, Zhao Xianliang said to Li Mu: "If there is a temporary additional demand, remember to say hello to me. I don't dare to say more. Five or six hundred million can still be obtained."

Li Mu readily agreed, but then nodded vaguely: "Uncle Zhao, I don't think the gap will be very large if there is any. If you need it, you can prepare about 100 million."

Zhao Xianliang nodded and said generously: "When the time comes, you can see the situation and let me know how much is missing!"

"it is good!"

Li Mu agreed, but he didn't take Zhao Xianliang's words seriously.

Even if Zhao Xianliang was speaking from his heart, even if the two billion was really not enough, Li Mu didn't want to take money from him.

Although Zhao Xianliang's total assets are not low, since he visited his headquarters base in the suburbs of Hangzhou last time, Li Mu thought that there would not be too much money in his hands. It is impossible for him to make a profit, or even a business that is very likely to lose money. I am afraid that he will be affected a lot.

If the epidemic is under control and the supplies are rotten in his hands, he can bear these losses, but can he really bear it?

At that time, I can't watch his funds go in and then don't come out. In order to help him avoid such a possibility, I must give priority to helping him realize the part of the materials he invested. If he invests 2 billion, he invests 500 million, The last 25 combined can only run away 500 million, so I must let his 500 million run first, but in that case, how will I explain to my other partners?

If he is not allowed to run first, 2.5 billion will be left with 500 million in the end, and the loss will be 80%. If he goes in with the 500 million, he will only have 100 million left in the end. If he gets into trouble then, it will be even more difficult.

Taking a step back, if he really wants to get involved at that time, let him bring in 100 million at most, and it will be relatively easy to protect his 100 million by himself. Even if it is not guaranteed, his loss will not be too great.

Zhao Xianliang did not realize that he was disliked by Li Mu.

...

That night, when Zhao Ziqiu quietly slipped into Li Mu's guest room as always, Zhao Xianliang was lying on the bed and sighed with his wife beside him.

"What this kid Li Mu has done is really unusual. It's no exaggeration to say that he is great. I am afraid that he is the only entrepreneur in China who has such a sense of social responsibility and great generosity."

Xie Yun nodded in agreement: "This is one of the reasons why he has reached such a high level today, without such a strong sense of social responsibility, he would not have been able to create 3321, and it would have been impossible for him to repeatedly treat young people and people on major occasions. The whole society has made incentives, you can see how hot his 'positive energy' is now, and his speech at Harvard was rated as the most influential speech in the history of Harvard. The speeches are not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as his speeches, so young people who are full of positive energy have the most genuine and most important heart to feed back to the society.”

Zhao Xianliang smacked his lips and said: "It seems that I still have to communicate with Li Mu. Since I know about such a meaningful thing, I can't stand by and watch it. I'd better take out a sum of money and leave it to him to operate it."

Xie Yun couldn't help laughing and said, "Forget it, I think you shouldn't get involved in this."

"Why?" Zhao Xianliang couldn't help but said: "Although the funds are not very generous recently, several hundred million can still be obtained by biting their teeth."

Xie Yun said: "I have invested so much money recently. It's hard to get several hundred million in cash, right? Even if we can get it out, if it is really lost, it will still have a very big impact on us."

"That's true." Zhao Xianliang sighed softly and said, "Funding is indeed a problem. The recent investment from various parties has indeed taken a large proportion of cash flow, but it is still not as rich as Li Mu!"

Xie Yun smiled and said, "When you said you were going to take out 500 million today, didn't you see that Li Mu disliked you a little?"

"Dislike me?" Zhao Xianliang frowned and asked, "What do you dislike me? You dislike me for giving less money?"

"That shouldn't be the case." Xie Yun smiled and said, "I feel that people think that you are holding back. If you really want to bring in 500 million yuan, with Li Mu's style of doing things, he will try his best to resist the risk on himself to protect your whole body. If you retreat, at that time you said yourself that you are dragging others down?"

Zhao Xianliang said subconsciously, "I don't need him to protect me, I just want to do my part."

Xie Yun shook her head and said with a smile, "You think so, but Li Mu certainly doesn't think the same way. It doesn't matter if he pays 2 billion yuan, let alone 500 million yuan. The five hundred million yuan can't be sold within a year. It's enough for you to have a headache, how could he watch you get into trouble for doing good things with him? Instead of bothering to protect you when the time comes, it's better not to let you in in the first place."

Zhao Xianliang didn't speak for a long time after listening to it, and after a long time he sighed bitterly: "I didn't expect that this kid would be disgusted..."
