Chapter 1903 I Am a Little Tempted

By the Huangpu River.

On the top floor of the Jiasheng Building, the mansion that originally belonged to Feng Yiping has now been arranged as a joint office space, where executives from various departments of the two companies gather.

Usually, they are the ones who initiate meetings in their respective companies, but here, they are just office workers behind a small workstation.

This is not only the case on this floor, but also on the next floor.

As Fang Yingzhi said to Xiang Xiaofang, the merger of Jiasheng Mall and Alibaba is really a lot of things, splitting, reorganization, integration..., any of these things is by no means a small project.

Jin Ling has a temporary office by the window. She seems to be thinner and her head looks bigger, but the whole person looks like she is shining. Old Ma came up with a folder and saw her and Jiasheng's CFO Li Lin discussing something on the computer.

It was too far away and the hall was too noisy. Old Ma couldn't hear what they were talking about at all. It was just the content. Old Ma roughly guessed that in the face of such a thing, in addition to the legal department, the financial department would be the busiest.

He did not disturb the other busy people, and went straight to Jin Ling's desk and sat down, "Boss Jin, Boss Li,"

"Boss Ma, you guys chat," Li Lin said as soon as she looked up and saw him, and returned to her seat - that is, the table with Jin Ling, only a few workstations away, if she spoke loudly, both sides could hear.

"Boss Ma," Jin Ling closed the folder and rubbed her brow.

"Look at this," Lao Ma put the folder in his hand on the table, sat down on the chair steadily, and when his head rested on the pillow, he couldn't help but say, "Comfortable,"

In fact, there were few opportunities to sit down so comfortably in the past two days.

If it weren't for Jin Ling being a woman, Lao Ma, who was free and easy, would have wanted to lie down like Ge You or paralyzed in the capital on this chair. Of course, these two postures have not yet been named.

Jin Ling roughly flipped through it, "No matter where the signing ceremony is held, Yiping will probably have no objection. In any case, I think he should not object to holding it grandly this time."

"These are up to you, Mr. Ma. We all know that similar events planned by you, Mr. Ma, are very successful."

"That won't do. This is an event that both you and Yiping have to attend, so naturally we have to ask for your opinions," said Lao Ma.

"Well, I'll take a look and give you my opinions later," said Jin Ling.

But Lao Ma didn't seem to want to leave for the moment. He looked at the lively office area in front of him, "Look, how harmonious,"

Jin Ling supported his chin with his hand and looked for a while, "Indeed,"

Here, executives from two companies work together according to the functions of their departments. Although they are not as close as a family, they are indeed very harmonious.

If we make an analogy, this is roughly similar to the so-called trial marriage before marriage of those trendy young people later, except that the result of this trial marriage is very clear, that is, they will definitely get married.

"I will have less trouble in the future," said Lao Ma happily.

Two companies - in fact, with Jiasheng Express, there are three companies. From a legal point of view, the merger of the three companies is not very troublesome, but the trouble is the subsequent integration.

This is something that even the increasingly confident Lao Ma does not think is an easy task, but at present, the progress of this work has been quite smooth and optimistic.

However, such a situation is difficult to replicate.

After the preliminary cooperation agreement, Feng Yiping's Jiasheng was more open to Lao Ma's Alibaba than Lao Ma himself thought he could do.

Because of this, he had the opportunity to do a lot of work in advance.

"I will also have less things to do," Jin Ling said with a smile.

After the e-commerce sector was separated and a new group was established with Alibaba, her burden was indeed much lighter.

"By the way, Yiping hopes that if there is a chance tomorrow, he can talk to the Prime Minister about the issue of e-commerce. These are some of the key points he and we have drawn up. Mr. Ma, can you help check it?" She also handed Lao Ma a folder.

Hearing this, Lao Ma straightened up and rubbed his hands, "I don't dare to be the gatekeeper, haha, this is a rare opportunity."

He was about to look, and the secretary hurried over and greeted Jin Ling first, "Hello, Mr. Jin,"

"Mr. Ma, the phone call,"

"Do you have to answer it now?"

The secretary nodded, "Yes, it's urgent,"

"Sorry, Mr. Jin," Lao Ma gestured, took the phone from the secretary, walked to the window, and answered the phone with his hands folded.

Jin Ling took a look at Lao Ma who answered the phone. How to describe his expression, Jin Ling suddenly came up with a metaphor, as if he was a young man talking on the phone with his sweetheart.

Looking at his secretary next to him, although he was very restrained, his eyes also seemed to be shining.

Oh, the person calling should be Mrs. Ma. I really envy Lao Ma and his deep love for each other. After many years of marriage, their love can still be preserved so well.

A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, but it soon calmed down. Li Lin saw that she was free at this time and ran over again immediately.

…………

Lao Ma took quite a while to answer the phone call. At first, he was walking around the window, and later, he just sat down on a chair in the corner opposite to talk.

When he came back, Jin Ling immediately felt that he seemed a little absent-minded.

This must be something big happening in his family, she thought.

Lao Ma's words seemed to confirm his suspicion, "Mr. Jin, why don't you let everyone relax today and not work overtime tonight?"

Jin Ling leaned back on the chair and took a long breath, "Okay!"

She felt that she was tired now.

Everyone immediately learned the good news and cheered like their subordinates who often forced them to work overtime. Then, most people were doing similar actions, turning their necks and stretching their arms... These two days have been really tiring. That's enough.

Lao Ma came downstairs, passed through the relaxed and happy crowd, and patted Mr. Cai on the shoulder who was talking to a few people with his hands on the table.

Mr. Cai followed him to the study room knowingly, and Lao Ma told him, "Close the door."

"Is something wrong?" Mr. Cai asked. Remembering Lao Ma's purpose for going, he asked, "Does Mr. Jin agree with the plan for the signing ceremony?"

It stands to reason not!

E-commerce currently requires more attention and traffic. It is completely understandable that the signing ceremony should be grander this time.

"That's not it." Lao Ma shook his head. "Find a place to drink at night."

Then something is really wrong.

"What's wrong?" he asked again.

"That phone call just now, do you know who called it?" Lao Ma said.

"who?"

"Jerry," he said.

Mr. Cai was confused for a while. He could only confirm that it was not the Jerry from Tom\and\Jerry.

Looking at Lao Ma's expression, he suddenly understood, "You mean, the purple Jerry, Chief Yang?"

Lao Ma nodded.

"He called suddenly at this time, why?" Mr. Cai sat down.

Different from Lao Ma's excitement and joy, his expression was a little complicated.

"You would never guess what he just said to me on the phone," Lao Ma said.

In front of Mr. Cai, he did not hide his shock. "He told me straight to the point on the phone that he wanted to cooperate with us." Lao Ma leaned forward, "Do you know the method of cooperation he proposed?"

"I can't guess, I can just tell that the conditions must be very favorable and very attractive," Mr. Cai said.

"He said that he hopes to cooperate with us and does not pursue a controlling interest. Moreover, he can package Yahoo China to us, Alibaba," Lao Ma said quickly.

Mr. Cai heard clearly and stood up immediately.

Even though he was prepared, he couldn't hide his shock at this time.

As a former executive of an international investment bank such as Swedish Bank Ruida, he naturally knows Yahoo's weight and capabilities.

He also knew how rare it was for Yang Zhiyuan to offer such conditions.

At this time, Yahoo still had an extraordinary status in the Internet field. As part of the cooperation, it would hand over its branch in a country, even a branch in an important country like China, to those who wished to cooperate. It can be said that it has never happened before.

"Of course there is cash," Lao Ma added. "As long as we can sell an appropriate amount of shares, whether it is US$500 million or US$1 billion, he can afford it."

"Are you tempted?" Mr. Cai asked.

Lao Ma said nothing.
