Vol 5 Chapter 1080: Unswervingly

Tempted?

Chief Yang thought about the comparison between himself and Jiasheng, but he missed the most important one.

The reason why I missed it is because even now he already has enough knowledge about Lao Ma and his company, but he still doesn't know that this Jack Ma had contacted himself once many years ago.

And that incident, when Lao Ma thinks about it now, it still feels like yesterday.

It was in 1999. When he set off again, led 18 Arhats, and founded Ali, he didn’t intend to learn from Yahoo’s model and set up a portal website. Instead, he sent an email to Chief Yang, “Do you think Ali How about Baba, maybe one day Alibaba and Yahoo will pair well together."

Do you feel the pink hearts beating between the lines?

Even if there is still Ma’s signature arrogance in these words, even if this can be interpreted as Ma’s expectations for his own business this time, or it can be said that this is Ma’s motto to motivate himself.

After all, from the perspective that failure is the mother of success, Lao Ma already has several mothers on the road to entrepreneurship, and he really can't afford them any more...

But this can naturally be regarded as a love email with a Chinese euphemism style.

And we all know that Lao Ma actually has a delicate heart that is not commensurate with his appearance, so when Chief Yang called him, did you say he was tempted?

Yahoo, that was his Ali’s dream lover, Yahoo, that was his Ali’s first love!

Of course, for Chief Yang, this may be an out-and-out secret love.

At that time, because of the creation of a new era of the Internet, he can be said to be an idol in the global Internet industry. He comes from all over the world every day. Such kind of courtship messages like this are not a sack but a wagon.

How could he read it one by one?

I believe that the functions developed by Yahoo Mail to block spam, even if he is not the first user, are definitely a user who has an urgent need for this.

As for Lao Ma's email from an unfamiliar email address, it is estimated that as soon as it was sent, it arrived in the trash can of Chief Yang's mailbox.

But now, it doesn't matter anymore.

A goddess that you had a crush on when you were out of ambition many years ago, when you are already walking on the road of success, suddenly came over to show you to your heart, and was still pulling behind you, even at that time, still dazzling Some dowry who dare not look directly at it, "Let us work together to create a better tomorrow!"

At this time, any club will ask, "Did you receive the email I wrote to you back then?"

Besides, although the old horse at this time is already on the road to success, he is not the richest man in the future, a world-renowned boss. When he goes to work every morning, he does not see the same people from all over the world at the door of the company. The people who show their love to him with signs, facing the straightforward and powerful confession of their first love, do you think he will be tempted?

He smiled, with a little shyness in his smile, with some comfort that he had longed for, "If you say that you are not tempted, it is naturally false, but it is Yahoo."

But in the next second, he quickly withdrew from that emotion, "I think, this fully shows that we are now on the road to success."

On the way to start a business, after several mothers’ teachings, if Lao Ma can’t do things without emotion, it’s really a failure.

He is a little tempted, a little hesitant, but whether he should continue, and let love approach step by step, that certainly cannot be determined by personal feelings.

This is because it involves the entire company and the future of many people. If the decision is wrong, the result cannot be described in terms of sadness or joy.

Mr. Cai said immediately, "I have someone prepare wine and food."

…………

"What are you going to do?" Outside the window, the lights were bright, and the old horse was already drunk at this meeting, and his face was red with happiness.

"I am going to call Yiping later," he said.

"At this time, we still have to be cautious about this kind of thing," Mr. Cai said.

If he is Feng Yiping, then he feels that at this point, when he receives a call like Lao Ma, he will definitely think that it is Lao Ma's desire to raise prices. Blood Hunt

"Don't worry," Lao Ma waved his hand, "How can I have other thoughts at this time?"

"I just think that this matter, and other people heard from others, it is better to tell him directly,"

"Yes," Mr. Cai and Ma Xiao touched a drink.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing should not be leaked, because at this time in the country, only the two of them know about it.

But this is a mall.

And the attitude of Chief Yang fully showed his determination.

Therefore, at this time, Feng Yiping had already heard some wind noises, and that was not surprising. As long as Chief Yang was in Silicon Valley a little bit of wind, it would naturally reach Feng Yiping's ears soon.

Will Chief Yang do this? should be!

"Do you think it is possible to let Yahoo participate as a third party?" Mr. Cai asked again.

"I don't think Yiping would agree with this," Lao Ma said.

"I think so," Mr. Cai also asked and answered himself.

Prior to Feng Yiping’s cooperation between the two companies, the only condition was to withdraw all of Ali’s venture capital, especially those from overseas. This is also very clear to Mr. Cai.

Just cleared away a large group of people, including Sun Zhengyi of Softbank. Now you tell him that you want to invite Yang Zhiyuan from Yahoo. How could he agree?

"It's just, Yahoo China," Lao Ma sighed again.

He was still a little moved about the dowry Yang Zhiyuan promised, but it was Yahoo.

"Yes, Yahoo China," Mr. Cai also said with emotion.

"However, I think that although Yahoo China is an exciting asset, in terms of effectiveness, at least Yahoo China now provides us with far less help than Jiasheng," he analyzed.

"It can be seen from the big promotion last year that Jiasheng's system, including online and offline, has brought how much traffic to their mall?"

After the merger, these flows naturally belong to the newly formed e-commerce group.

"Furthermore, what kind of advantages their huge logistics network plan can give us in the field of e-commerce?"

Leaving logistics to talk about e-commerce is the same as leaving material things to talk about emotions, which is ultimately unrealistic.

"You are right," Lao Ma's attitude became more determined.

Even if he has some imagination and understanding of what heights he can reach in the future, he has not yet reached the later heights after all, and he is still unable to treat a company like Yahoo China as if he is too impressed.

"We all have a certain understanding of Yahoo. From my point of view, cooperation with Yahoo may not be a blessing. More likely, it will be something we regret. Look at Yahoo's previous acquisitions. Those startups," Mr. Cai said.

"Yes, I think Lao Zhou probably regrets it now," Lao Ma said.

In China, although the BAT at this time is far from the later glory, except for Feng Yiping, the most active people in the domestic Internet circle at this time are the later bigwigs.

As a veteran in the domestic Internet field, although Lao Ma does not have much friendship with Zhou Doushi, and there is no overlap in business, he has seen it more than once in some conferences and forums.

He probably knows the current situation of Lao Zhou.

Let's just say one thing. After he joined Yahoo China with the 3721 team, although he has the title of Yahoo China President, there are more than a dozen floors between him and Chief Yang. It can be said that it is very basic.

"Compared with Yahoo's entire acquisition, this 3721 acquisition is really nothing," Mr. Cai said. "There are too many startups that originally performed well. After being acquired by Yahoo, they quickly disappeared. Not even a splash of water splashed."

"Of course, the talents of the acquired company have been left behind by Yahoo."

"In fact, there is already a joke in the industry that companies acquired by Yahoo may not be successful. Those companies that Yahoo has the opportunity to acquire but miss in the end are likely to succeed in the end," Lich King

"Like Google, right?" Lao Ma interjected.

Because Feng Yiping successfully invested in Google, they still have a good understanding of the grievances between Yahoo and Google back then and now.

"Some people even say that Yahoo's acquisition is a beacon for other investors. Anything they let go is definitely worth investing," Mr. Cai said again, if he let Chief Yang know, he would definitely be too sad to breathe. Words come.

But compared to what Yahoo did, there is a lot of truth in this statement.

"On Yiping's side, the companies he acquired have developed better than before," said Lao Ma.

"Yes, from his current arrangement, after this merger, the development of our Ali will also be qualitatively improved,"

This is also a very critical issue for the founder of every company being acquired.

And at this point, Jiasheng has a full lead over Yahoo.

The founders of many companies acquired by Yahoo later condemned Yahoo on various occasions, but the founders of those companies acquired by Feng Yiping were actually doing the same work as before the acquisition.

It's just that now he can use more resources and get more support, and he won't be confused when it comes to the future development direction of the company, which is a matter of life and death.

In other words, New York, Marvel's Palmat, which is far across the ocean at this time, has the same understanding as Lao Ma.

"I'll reply to Chief Yang in a moment," Lao Ma said.

Mr. Cai looked at his watch, "It's too late over there."

"I send an email," said the old horse.

Mr. Cai doesn't understand, you just send emails when you send them. Why is it so excited?

If he had sent an email to Yang Zhiyuan many years ago and there has been no news since then, then he would be able to understand Lao Ma's current mood.

The kind of mood like "I was indifferent to you back then, but now you can't afford it".

…………

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Chief Yang, who had already returned home, still had no sleep.

He feels more and more that the matter decided today is a major event that will affect Yahoo's future. He is already a little excited and excited to describe the future of Yahoo, and he is also proud of the crowd in the field of e-commerce.

While writing down some of his ideas, he did not forget to pay attention to his mailbox.

Although he feels that it should be impossible to receive a reply within an hour or two for such a major event, he still has some hope. After all, his company is Yahoo.

More importantly, the conditions he has offered are unprecedentedly generous. He believes that such conditions are difficult to refuse for any Internet company in the world that has not yet been listed and has not been widely recognized by investors. of.

Finally, a new email was displayed in the notification box. As soon as he saw the name "Jak", he immediately clicked on it.

After dozens of seconds ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ he took off his glasses again and wiped it, and then looked at it again from the beginning, the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became.

With the previous analysis, he naturally had some predictions about the results of his proposal. However, he decided to refuse in such a short time, and he refused so simply? This is really beyond his imagination.

He washed his face with cold water in the bathroom, and when he saw the person in the mirror, he stayed for a while.

Although the person in the mirror is in the prime of his life, he has already clearly shown some fatigue.

Chief Yang put on his glasses, put these emotions aside, returned to the study, and began to reply to Lao Ma.

He is not the kind of person who is easily rejected.

This email was very long. When it was in the middle of writing, Chief Yang paused for a while. After tapping a few fingers on the table, he quickly wrote the same email to several people.

That being the case, some methods that I didn't want to use are now naturally used.

The night outside the window was so dark...
