Chapter 1737: Incredibly Smooth

"What good news makes you so excited?" Feng Yiping laughed.

To be honest, there are not many things that can make Lao Ma so outwardly now, "Come, have a cup of tea first, freshly brewed,"

"What tea? We should drink wine now, and it must be champagne," Lao Ma looked at the wine cabinet.

"I really don't have this, but I can ask them to send it. You are so happy, how about letting me guess?"

"Then you guess," Lao Ma took a sip of the hot tea.

Since there is no champagne now, tea can make do.

"I bet," he dug into his pocket and took out some bills, "1 Swiss franc, you can guess it once, 50 twice, 100 three times,"

The result is obvious, "Masayoshi Son took the initiative to let go, right?"

"Bingo!" Lao Ma raised his hand and clapped his hands with Feng Yiping.

"He didn't give in. He took the initiative to say that he agreed to withdraw according to the conditions we offered. Oh, he made an appointment with me. If nothing unexpected happens, we will talk again in half an hour. He hopes to contact you directly then."

If Masayoshi Son, who is known as the Bill Gates of Japan, saw Lao Ma's excitement at this time, he would probably jump up. Am I so unpopular with you? Have you forgotten the happy times in the past?

At this time, he was really unpopular.

At the beginning, Lao Ma agreed to let SoftBank invest because he saw that SoftBank had been working in the Internet field for many years and invested in a large number of Internet giants including Yahoo, with rich connections and resources.

However, just like the natural incompatibility between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs are the same.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both said that they were doing it for the good of their sons and their husbands, but the result was that the man who was both the son and the husband was always caught in the middle, not pleasing both sides.

The same is true for venture capitalists and entrepreneurs. They all say that they are doing it for the good of the company, but because of different starting points, the result is that you focus on the "good" you hope for, and he likes the "good" he imagines, but the two good things cannot be combined into one good.

At the beginning, SoftBank's joining was really good.

Not only did it bring Lao Ma the funds he needed, but it also provided him with many resources in the Internet field that he urgently needed, as well as valuable experience.

After all, before investing in Lao Ma, SoftBank had already invested in hundreds of companies, most of which were concentrated in the Internet field - although except for Yahoo and a few other companies, they can all be said to have been wasted.

However, the experience of failure is also experience, and these experiences can indeed help start-ups avoid many detours.

But as the saying goes, there are always two sides to everything, and everything has its pros and cons.

Because SoftBank has done a very in-depth study of the Internet, sometimes he can't help but point fingers, "You should do this!" or "How can you do this?"

This is equivalent to when you are driving, there is always someone in the back seat BBing non-stop how to drive.

At the beginning, you will still deal with a few words, and you may not even bother to perfunctorily respond in the middle. Later, when he still doesn't know how to restrain himself, and even says that when he rides a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW, you may want to pull off the steering wheel of Hongguang and smash it in his face...

It happened that at this time, Lao Ma saw the rise of Feng Yiping, especially the situation he opened up in the United States.

Not to mention the company he founded, he became the third largest shareholder and strategic director of Google, a special adviser to Jobs, and had close relationships with many high-tech company bosses in the United States... Of course, we have to mention his book and the concept of "cloud computing" he proposed later.

This is also a person who has in-depth research in the Internet field.

And he is also a successful entrepreneur.

There has never been a domestic person who has listed two companies on NASDAQ at such a young age, and it is probably difficult in the future.

Entrepreneurs need investors, so they will look for venture capital, but entrepreneurs admire entrepreneurs the most, because they have the same heartbeat.

In addition, Feng Yiping's series of acquisitions that were confusing beforehand, but you would think it couldn't be better afterwards, especially the arrangements for the acquired company after the acquisition, made Lao Ma somewhat fascinated by this little brother he had never met.

Later, it seemed like a matter of course. Feng Yiping became one of his investors by chance. After meeting again, they really got along well, but Jiasheng's online mall had also been prepared for many years. So instead of having another strong opponent, why not hold hands and go together?

After he made that suggestion, Feng Yiping never treated him as an outsider again.

Lao Ma thought to himself that he was also a generous person, but when he proposed the idea of ​​merging the two companies, there was no record except for the two of them, and Feng Yiping didn't treat himself as an outsider. He felt that he really couldn't do it.

Let alone other things, in order to facilitate future integration, even such an important project as Jiasheng Mall was only managed by Jin Ling as a concurrent person in charge, and all data was open to him.

You know, even if he regretted it at that time, Feng Yiping would not be able to do anything about it - that's what he thought.

Feng Yiping's other attitude also made him very satisfied.

Or in other words, including Jin Ling, their attitudes were very clear, come here quickly, all the troubles in the e-commerce field are handed over to you, don't bother me in the future.

But they did not do nothing. The big promotion after the launch perfectly showed people how e-commerce should be played. At the same time, they were actually planning such a large-scale, national-level logistics system...

They not only thought of what I didn't expect, but also did it. Now, they have handed it over to me, and they have also separated e-commerce from the entire group and attached a courier company. This really makes Lao Ma feel a little happy.

It's really hard to expect him to still like Masayoshi Son at this time.

…………

"I'm just a little confused. Why did he suddenly change his mind?" Feng Yiping recalled that he had made a speech in Davos these days. He should not have mentioned this aspect. Why did he suddenly change his mind?

"You can ask him directly," Lao Ma leaned back in his chair, "This time, everything is really ready,"

"Yes, the canvas is ready, just waiting for you to paint," Feng Yiping smiled.

"What kind of work do you expect me to paint?" Lao Ma asked sideways.

"Of course, it's the best in the world. If it's painted, it must be so good that Van Gogh would cover his face and Pollock would have to take a detour,"

"Haha," Lao Ma laughed very loudly, "Then I'll try my best,"

"Oh, phone," he took out his phone, "It's him,"

"Hi, Sun, yes, Feng is with me, wait a minute," he handed the phone to Feng Yiping.

"Hello, hello," Feng Yiping just took the phone and heard someone greet him in Mandarin, but that level, I'd better use English, "Hello Mr. Sun, it's nice to talk to you,"

"Mr. Feng, it's really inappropriate for us to communicate for the first time through the phone, I'm very uneasy..."

Feng Yiping is not used to this Japanese politeness, "I'm also very sorry, I had thought of asking Mr. Sun for advice in Tokyo a long time ago, but I've been busy recently, I hope we can meet sooner,"

Sun Zhengyi laughed on the other end of the phone, "I feel the same way, I think, this time It's a good opportunity,"

"Yes, Ma just told me the good news,"

"Yes, I agree to withdraw my investment in Alibaba based on Ma's recent discussion with me, and I look forward to your happy cooperation with him in the future,"

No matter the reason, it is always a happy thing, "Thank you very much, Mr. Sun,"

"Then, I will deal with the withdrawal matters with Ma as soon as possible, and I also look forward to meeting you as soon as possible at a time convenient for you,"

"Of course, of course, thank you very much!"

I didn't expect that the matter that I thought I would have to spend some effort on was solved so easily. It was so smooth that it was a little incredible.

"No problem, I think it's worth a bottle of the best champagne," Feng Yiping called out, and soon, the group of guys who were packing their luggage all ran over.

Feng Yiping put his arm around Lao Ma's shoulders, "I have good news to tell you, from now on, Jack and we are officially a family!"

Sandberg was a little confused, another acquisition?

Zuckerberg immediately applauded, "Yeah!"

The champagne was brought up, "I'll open it," Zheng Jiayi grabbed it, shook it, and splashed Feng Yiping and Lao Ma.

The entire floor was filled with laughter.

On the closing day of the 35th World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, a future world-class company had cleared all obstacles on the road ahead.
