Chapter 1823 So That's It

"This," Son Zhengyi smiled, "this starts from when you were at the World Economic Forum,"

Feng Yiping glanced at Lao Ma. His guess at Davos was indeed correct. However, what he said or did at the World Economic Forum made Sun Zhengyi so readily agree to withdraw from Alibaba. Out?

He didn't understand it then, and he still doesn't understand it now.

Judging from Lao Ma's appearance, he didn't understand either.

"Oh, World Economic Forum? Sorry, I still don't understand,"

"Do you still remember that a reporter from Nikkei asked you some questions about Tesla?" Son asked.

"It seems to have some impression,"

It really just seemed like a bit of an impression.

I just remember that the so-called Nikkei reporter originally wanted to look good to me, but in the end, he was made to feel ashamed by himself. That's about it.

Feng Yiping had long since stopped caring about such things.

To put it bluntly, in this world now, except for my own children and some girls, it is no longer possible for others to take advantage of me verbally.

As for my own children and those girls, I also let them, otherwise, they would not be able to take advantage in front of me.

Lao Ma seemed to have more of an impression. The reporter who always followed Feng Yiping, how did Feng Yiping evaluate the questions he asked? By the way, it’s too unprofessional, so there’s no need to answer.

But, what does this have to do with Ali?

"The reporter from Nikkei talked about Tesla. Mr. Feng, your answer is that at that time, you were reviewing the investment issues of Microsoft's Bill Gates, and Google's Page and Brin," Masayoshi Son revealed. The answer.

it is this? But so what?

"I understood at that time that since Mr. Feng's Jiasheng Mall was going to merge with Alibaba, then I would definitely have to withdraw."

What this person said was really impeccable. He didn't talk about acquisitions, but mergers. It seems that he really knows Lao Ma very well.

However, Feng Yiping still doesn't understand. I said that Tesla's board of directors reviewed Gates and Page's investment intentions. Why do you think you can only withdraw from Alibaba?

"The reason is very simple. I think for the entrepreneurs in the world except you, if Gates and Page decided to invest, who would take the time to review them? They would have already welcomed them downstairs with their hands raised. ,"

What he said is certainly correct. For entrepreneurs, if Bill Gates or the two co-founders of Google want to invest in their own projects, it is not mainly about how much money they can invest. , which represents their optimism and affirmation.

It can be said that in this world, it is impossible to get a project that these three people are optimistic about at the same time. If Lao Ma is treated like this, he will immediately promote it all over the world and take the opportunity to advertise for his company.

Bill Gates and others are so optimistic, aren't you worth caring about? ——I remember that later on, many companies and entrepreneurs used Lao Ma’s investment to make a big fuss.

Don't tell me, that's what Lao Ma really thinks now. When I went to the United States to look for investment, why didn't I think of looking for these big guys? They should have a better vision than ordinary investment banks!

Oh, what a mistake! What a mistake!

"But you didn't do that. Not only did you not do that, you also solemnly proposed to convene a board discussion after they made the request,"

He almost said that Feng Yiping seemed a little unhappy about giving money to those three people.

"No, it's just that you know, Tesla's board members have very strong personalities, and I have to get their consent," Feng Yiping said.

To be honest, he kind of thought so.

But where can I say this easily?

You have to care about someone like Bill Gates who has been the richest man in the world for so many years.

Because now Jobs is scolded and scolded without even saying anything back. Every time he appears in public, although he is always smiling, he is still smiling after all. In addition, he is now doing things in a high-profile manner. Charity, so some people who think he has a good temper and don't need to care too much, in the end, don't need to care about Old Bill.

Just because people can tolerate Steve Jobs doesn't mean they can tolerate you. The reason why people are always smiling is because at that time, he was mostly in a state of mind. Most things in this world were no longer relevant to him. Attractive.

If you really act stupidly and make him unhappy for a little while, he may just give you a random order and you will be unhappy for the rest of your life.

Never underestimate the power of capital in capitalist society. Capital is the foundation of capitalist society.

Feng Yiping didn't want words that he didn't like Gates investing in Tesla to reach his ears, at least not now.

Not to mention the other two, Page and Brin, who are now his good brothers. If such remarks spread, it will definitely affect the relationship between the brothers.

In response to Feng Yiping's remarks, Son just smiled. This young man's actions were indeed impeccable.

He nodded, "Okay, I understand your concerns. Indeed, I have also learned that the members of Tesla's board of directors are indeed quite individual."

"I just want to say that at least for now, Tesla is still a project that can only be invested purely. According to your plan, it can be launched to the market on time in the future. Whether it is popular, at least for now, it is difficult to be optimistic. "

"I personally think that this is a good project, but the time to launch it is not right. Of course, Feng, you have always had a good vision. You naturally have your reasons for choosing to enter now,"

Feng Yiping did not explain. This person seemed to be reluctant to invest in Tesla. However, who knows, although it was the first time for Feng Yiping to meet him, he also understood this person very well just like Sun Zhengyi knew him well. Bit.

What he believes in is not to invest in projects that are 90% sure of success, but to rush to invest in projects that are only 70% likely to win, because he believes that if you are too cautious, you will miss many good opportunities that may succeed, and you will miss the targets you are optimistic about. It's easy to get jumped first.

Therefore, people who have to act with a 90% chance of winning will often be defeated by people like him who act based on a 70% chance of winning.

To put it bluntly, there is an element of gambling.

And Tesla is not a project that cannot be gambled on.

It faces many problems, of course, but it is the only such project at present, so if it succeeds, then there will be rewards!

So Feng Yiping didn't say anything, otherwise if he said now that he wanted to invest in Tesla, it would be hard for him to refuse.

Fortunately, Sun Zhengyi was very wise and did not mention this, "I just thought that for a project that requires investment now and in the next few years, and the amount is not low, you don't want to accept other investors, and Such a well-known investor,”

"No, I didn't mean that at all," Feng Yiping explained again.

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake," Sun Zhengyi apologized briefly, "It is conceivable that you definitely don't want anyone else to intervene in a project like Alibaba, so I think I'd better withdraw on my own initiative. 's good,"

So that’s it, don’t say it, it really makes some sense.

It is indeed extraordinary that Son can understand these things from what he said in Davos.

Of course, Feng Yiping never believed that he really withdrew because he didn't want others to interfere.

There is only one real reason. He definitely does not know the future development of Taobao. On the contrary, based on his current returns, his investment in Alibaba has already made a very good return.

Does he really think so? If he really thinks so, it's really nothing surprising.

Goldman Sachs Niuba was the lead investor in Alibaba’s first round of financing, but it made a mistake and sold its shares to Feng Yiping.

The Li family in Hong Kong are smart, they also invested, but they also sold...

In fact, our Chinese market does have incomprehensible particularities.

Not to mention now, in another two or three years, Feng Yiping gathered together the top people in the country and told them that in a few years, e-commerce will have a great impact on the survival of offline physical stores. I am afraid that Most people would still say he was talking in his sleep.

"In that case, thank you for your help," Feng Yiping didn't say much.

Sometimes, too much talk can lead to mistakes, but this is definitely one thing that cannot be wrong.

"You're welcome. As soon as I saw you, I felt that you and I will be friends for life, and there will be many opportunities in the future," Son said.

When Lao Ma heard this, he said, "You and I are going to be friends for life?" Wait, why do I think it sounds so familiar?

Oh, by the way, he took a serious look at Sun Zhengyi. You and I said the same thing when we first met.

"I don't shy away from saying that Feng, I am very optimistic about your Facebook and YouTube. I hope that we can have in-depth cooperation on these two projects at RB,"

Son was not a modest gentleman, so he immediately made the request.

Feng Yiping was a little relieved, it turned out to be like this!
