Chapter 1224 True Nature

"Then let's have a casual meal together?" Feng Yiping suggested.

As for the next round of financing, he didn't mention it, and neither did the other two.

We have to eat the food one bite at a time, take off our clothes one by one, and do the work one by one. It’s good for both parties to get to know each other first today.

With this foundation today, as Alibaba’s largest institutional investor other than SoftBank, his investment in Huasheng cannot be avoided in the next round of financing.

"I want to eat," Mr. Ma laughed, "To be honest, I was a little uneasy before, but now that we are talking, I feel more at ease than ever."

Feng Yiping walked with them outside, "Actually, I was quite nervous before meeting you two."

"It seems that not only are you better at math than me, but you are also very good at cultivating qi. You can't tell it at all. Don't you think so?" he asked Mr. Cai.

"But you shouldn't be nervous,"

"What I'm nervous about is that I bought part of the house from someone else without the owner's consent," Feng Yiping gave an analogy.

"Yiping, your metaphor is really vivid, but you are not someone else. We believe that you will definitely contribute to this house,"

Mr. Cai also smiled and said, "Actually, you have forgotten one thing. According to what you said, Yiping is better at Chinese than you. He is a well-known best-selling author."

He actually knows this?

"Have a laugh, it was a way to make money when you had no money,"

"I really don't know this," Ma Qingfu said, "Really?"

"Really, one of my nieces likes Yi Ping's novel very much. Oh, can I get an autograph this time?" Mr. Cai smiled.

"Someone actually has read my book. No problem. It just so happens that now I can show it to people with my handwriting."

After my rebirth, I had to approve a lot of documents, so I had many opportunities to write my own name. I can indeed write better now than before.

Ma Shoufu suddenly patted Feng Yiping on the shoulder, "Young hero, have you written a book called "Sunflower Collection"?"

Feng Yiping was stunned. Is this what he meant? I am a 100% 24K real man, okay?

Seeing the astonishment on Feng Yiping's face, Ma Shaofu reacted, "Don't you like Jin Yong's martial arts novels?"

"I like it. When I was in school, we used to read his novels under the covers with flashlights. When I was watching The Condor, I saw the scene with the Little Dragon Girl, and then I didn't want to read any more."

"We are like this too," Ma Shoufang said. "I am an uncertified expert on Jin Yong's martial arts novels. I particularly like his novels."

"I've heard that Alibaba's offices are named after the words 'Guangmingding' and 'Luohan Hall'. Is this true?" Feng Yiping asked about another rumor.

Mr. Cai interjected, "I think the most classic ones should be to name the bathrooms 'Tingyuxuan' and 'Wangpu Hall',"

"Haha," Feng Yiping couldn't hold back and laughed. "You guys are really good at playing!" he said sincerely.

Ma Shoufu patted him on the shoulder again, "His writing skills are really good,"

These two words are so wonderful and vivid when used in the bathroom.

So sometimes, it seems that there is really only a wall between the gangster and the master.

"I have studied all of Jin Yong's works, and finally came to the conclusion that among the characters in his works, there are two who have the highest martial arts skills," he held out two fingers with some pride.

Feng Yiping is still a little uncomfortable with it. Although he knows that he likes Jin Yong, but just now everyone was discussing serious business issues in a serious manner, and now they are discussing martial arts novels in such a serious manner. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?

However, seeing how the richest man was in a mood, it was hard to interrupt him, and he was also waiting for him to answer the question just now.

"One must be the sweeping monk in Tianlong," he joked.

"Yes," Ma Shoufang patted the table, "Of course, it's not difficult to know this, but there are definitely not many people who know the other, hehe," he almost wanted to roll up his sleeves.

Feng Yiping felt that his action was very familiar, and he immediately remembered his job before going to sea: teacher.

It seems that that period of his career still left a very deep mark on him.

"Is there another one?" Feng Yiping shook his head, I really don't know.

"I don't know, hey, although this man didn't write much, the book he wrote has created countless masters,"

Oh, Feng Yiping understands, this is the reason why he said "Sunflower Collection".

"I like Feng Qingyang the most, but Linghu Chong, who has completely inherited his mantle, or has surpassed him, teamed up with Ren Woxing, who can be said to be the successor of Xiaoyao Sect, but they can't beat Dongfang who only practiced the incomplete "Sunflower Collection" Bubai, the one who wrote this book and created this martial arts, his martial arts is at least three times that of Dongfang Bubai. Speaking of which, the author's kung fu is not much worse than that of the sweeping monk."

"This is also the difference between me and you. I am only Feng Qingyang at best, but your martial arts is already close to the Tao,"

Only then did Feng Yiping realize that the richest man in love, Ma, had made such a big deal to praise himself with his favorite thing!

"Thank you, thank you," Feng Yiping really couldn't think of how to praise him for a while, so he could only say thank you twice.

"As for me, I'm just lucky enough to be in front now. You, old horse, are the one with the most stamina."

"Didn't Jin Dada say that the highest level of martial arts is to win without any moves? You are in that state. If you practice your internal skills well, in a few years, Lao Ma, you will definitely defeat the invincible opponent in the world."

"Haha, I'd better be Feng Qingyang," Lao Ma said with a smile.

Mr. Cai was explaining to Jin Ling who didn’t understand, “When we were in trouble or tired, he would tell us jokes to make us happy and relax. Some of the plots in Jin Yong’s novels are His favorite quote,"

"There's nothing I can do. I can't afford to pay everyone high wages, and I can't satisfy everyone materially, so I can only find ways to make everyone happy spiritually,"

"Like Mr. Cai, his annual salary is hundreds of thousands of dollars, but I can only give him a few thousand yuan a month. I don't think of any way to make him happy. If he quits, then I will be unhappy,"

I have to say that this is a person who doesn't show off at all. At least for now, he is still a very clear person. If he doesn't hide anything, he will quickly be able to smooth things out and get closer to you silently.

From this point of view, this is also a person with a very strong heart.

As he was talking, his cell phone rang and he picked it up and read, "Leadership Supervision,"

"Hey," he held a piece of braised pork in one hand while talking to his mobile phone, "I'm eating right now. I'm eating meat right now. Yes, vegetables. Of course there are vegetables too. Fruits are definitely indispensable."

He looked at Feng Yiping and smiled, "You don't know who I am having dinner with today. This is our richest man. How can it be worse? Don't worry at all,"

"It's from my wife," he explained after hanging up the phone, "I'm a person who always forgets to eat when I'm busy, or I might just eat instant noodles. There's no need to cook or wash the dishes. It's the easiest thing."

"Of course, when we first had financial difficulties, we ate instant noodles for several months,"

"So now my wife pays close attention to this matter. When I am at the company, she will bring me meals at noon. When I am out on business, she will always call to supervise. Hey, Yiping, you don't know that we married men hardship,"

"How can this be bitter? I think Mr. Ma, you are showing off your happiness," Jin Ling said.

Feng Yiping was concerned about another issue, "There is one big difference between me and the three of you. Instant noodles are convenient, but if you say that you eat instant noodles because you have no money, or you eat instant noodles to save money, then I think this argument is really not valid. able to stand,"

"Are instant noodles cheap? From the perspective of us rural people, they are really not cheap. Even now, instant noodles are considered a good thing, at least in many rural areas."

"If you really want to save money, spend a few dollars to buy a tube of noodles, boil it in water, add some oil and salt, and sprinkle some chopped green onion. It's definitely cheaper."

The three of them were all dumbfounded. Why don't you save money on instant noodles? But after calculation, this is really the case.

…………

With Lao Ma here, this meal was indeed very enjoyable, and he actually talked about dreams.

"In the past, I often thought, how great would it be if I could have Kung Fu like Feng Qingyang? For example, if I hold the most ordinary piece of grass in my hand and use my kung fu, it will immediately become extremely strong, indestructible, and invincible. "

"When I was a child, I herded cattle on the mountain. Sometimes I would wonder if I fell from this mountain, would I find a cave in the middle?" Feng Yiping said.

"Haha," Lao Ma laughed heartily, "It seems that we are all senior martial arts fans,"

"However, now my dream has changed. I often think about it. I went to a high-end hotel in Paris, and the staff ignored me when they saw that I was Asian. I went to the hotel owner and asked, 'Can you help me with this hotel? Price, I bought it!'"

"The boss said: 'I won't sell it unless it's US$300 million.' I immediately took out the check and wrote it while saying: 'It's really cheap, I thought it was US$500 million.'"

"After completing the formalities quickly, I took the key to the president's office and threw it to a homeless guy playing guitar at the door in front of many people. 'From now on, this hotel is yours,'"

"Awesome!" Feng Yiping just wanted to say, go ahead, it turns out that everyone has such frivolous dreams.

"What about you, Yiping? Do you have such a dream? Oh, such a thing is not a dream for you, it can be realized now,"

"No, I didn't even dare to have such a lofty dream before," Feng Yiping said, "but after listening to Lao Ma's dream, I think I can have a dream next,"

“When the Spring Festival comes, I want to announce to all employees that I have chartered a fleet and will take everyone to Paris for the Spring Festival. When everyone feels so surprised, I will tell them that this year’s year-end notice will be distributed after the New Year’s Eve dinner. Prize: Two keys each,"

"When everyone is confused, I will reveal the answer. One is the key to the villa on the Seine River, and the other is the key to the Ferrari in the garage."

"Bah bang bang," Jin Ling clapped, "Then let's do it this year."

"Our guy was so excited when he heard about Ferrari,"

In other words, he just wants to do that. Even if there are many Ferraris, there are not so many villas on the Seine River, right?

"Lao Ma, I want to ask, did SoftBank really only spend six minutes deciding to invest in Alibaba?" He asked about another anecdote.

"That's not the case at all," Lao Ma said. "At that time, SoftBank China had just been established, and UTStarcom was SoftBank's LP. That time Masayoshi Son came to China, Lao Wu, and Wu Ying recruited a large number of domestic investors who wanted to raise funds. The Internet company went to talk to me and dragged me over."

It seems that he always wants to emphasize that he is not short of money.

"Because there were so many people that day, they only gave each of us six minutes to make a presentation, and then they asked questions and voted,"

"Who wants to go all the way and talk for six minutes?"

"But fortunately, the results were good that time. I don't know if they understood what I said, but they quickly decided to invest in us. For this reason, they also stopped investing in another company."

It can be seen that although he was a little dissatisfied with the original treatment, he was also satisfied with the result.

“However, that investment almost went bad,” Mr. Cai said.

"Ah, why?"

"Because Masayoshi Son must give us 35 million U.S. dollars, but Lao Ma will only accept 20 million U.S. dollars at most,"

I see!

This is evident from the caution of the richest man Ma.

No wonder he rushed over immediately after learning that he had taken over the share of Goldman Sachs.

…………

"Yiping, to use an old saying, today's room feels a bit like a late meeting. Come with us to Hangzhou and come to our place to see us. I think our senior executives will definitely have many questions to ask you. ,"

"Old Ma, I can chat with you like this all day without any problem, but the time this time is really unlucky. Next, we have to go back to our town immediately. This is the first time in the history of our town that we have annexed the administrative villages of other towns. The ceremony will be held tomorrow, and everyone requires me to attend,"

"Oh yes, Yiping, you have already gone very well on the road of leading everyone to get rich. I hope Taobao can be like you in the future and lead many poor villages to get rich,"

"Yes, it will definitely happen,"

I am afraid that only Feng Yiping knows this issue best now.

"Goodbye, I look forward to our next meeting," Ma Shaofu sat in the car sent by Feng Yiping with satisfaction.
