Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

In the living room of Neverland Manor.

Seeing Xu Cun appearing, Ma Den, who was first led into the living room by the maid, immediately got up and greeted him, and at the same time said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Xu, hello, I am Ma Den, you can call me Xiaoma!"

Xu Cun took the initiative to reach out his hand and shook Ma Den's hand, then smiled and said, "Sit down, let's sit down and talk slowly."

After speaking, Xu Cun let go of Ma Den's hand, then walked to the main seat and sat down.

After Xu Cun sat down, he went to the horseman on the opposite side of Xu Cun, and then sat down on the edge of the sofa—from this it is not difficult to see that although the horseman behaved decently, he was actually a little nervous !

After the two sides sat down, Xu Cun said bluntly: "I read your China Yellow Pages, and the layout is too small."

As soon as Xu Cun said this, Ma Den's body became straighter all of a sudden!

Before coming here, Ma Dian also thought about the reason why Xu Cun sought him out. After much deliberation, Ma Dian felt that Xu Cun was most likely interested in their China Yellow Pages and intended to invest in China Yellow Pages.

Ma Dian is naturally very happy about this. You must know that before this, whether it was Lenovo, Netscape, or Yahoo, once Xu Cun took a fancy to it, they injected huge sums of money, hundreds of millions of dollars. Capital, and the founders of Lenovo, Netscape, and Yahoo all became multi-millionaires at once. How could Ma Dian not want to be one of their lucky ones?

But--

As soon as Xu Cun came up, he said that the structure of the Chinese Yellow Pages was too small, that is to say, he was not optimistic about the development prospects of the Chinese Yellow Pages. How could Ma Dian not feel cold?

but--

Soon, Ma Den suppressed the negative emotions in his heart - Ma Den thought, "It's impossible for a busy person like Mr. Xu to take time out to see me, a small person, for no reason!"

Seeing that Ma Dian suppressed his negative emotions so quickly, Xu Cun nodded secretly - relying on luck, a person may succeed for a while, but he cannot always succeed. Ma Dian can become the richest man in China and the most powerful man in the world. How could one of the powerful people be an ordinary person?

Xu Cun continued: "You have a good vision, and you can see that the future is the era of the Internet, but the Chinese Yellow Pages you are getting now are not very interesting. If you say more, you can earn three to five million. It is impossible to let You become a world-class rich man."

If other people talk to Ma Den about world-class rich men, Ma Den must laugh at that person's head being kicked by a donkey!

But when Xu Cun, the richest man in the world and a successful man hailed as a "miracle man" by the business world, said this, Ma Dian didn't dare to have this idea at all, and not only did he not dare to have this idea, Ma Dian was also very excited. "For a world-class rich man, at least 100 million dollars must be taken!"

Ma Dian sat forward again, straightened his waist again, and then said very respectfully: "Mr. Xu, can you guide me, which direction can I have the opportunity to become a world-class rich man?"

Xu Cun didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "E-commerce platform."

"E-commerce platform?" Ma Dian chewed on this term he had never heard before, and then asked: "Mr. Xu, what is an e-commerce platform?"

Xu Cun first boasted: "I invented the word 'e-commerce'." Then he explained: "E-commerce refers to the online shopping of consumers and the online transactions between merchants in the Internet environment. It is a new type of business operation model of online electronic payment and various business activities, transaction activities, financial activities and related comprehensive service activities." After a pause, Xu Cun continued: "The e-commerce platform is to provide this A platform for business operation models.”

Ma Dan tasted what Xu Cun said, and then said with a little embarrassment: "Mr. Xu, can you tell me more details?"

Xu Cunyan said succinctly: "It is to build a platform that can provide buyers and sellers with online transactions."

As soon as Xu Cun finished speaking, Ma Dian's eyes lit up - Ma Dian was good at seizing opportunities, and suddenly there was a vast world in front of him!

Xu Cun didn't disturb Ma Dian's e-commerce, but picked up the teacup and drank it slowly...

After thinking about it for more than ten minutes, Ma Den was a little embarrassed and said: "Sorry, Mr. Xu, I was distracted!"

Xu Cun waved his hand and said, "It's okay... how about it, has the e-commerce platform developed?"

Ma Dian organized the language, and then said: "Of course there is development. If this platform can really be built, I can't even imagine its prospects. It's just... the current situation in the country should not have the conditions to build this platform, right? "

It has to be said that Ma Dian's vision is very accurate.

In the last life, e-commerce was only proposed in 1996, which is next year. As for being introduced to China, it will have to wait until 1998, which is three years later—to be precise, it should be 19 In March 1998, China's first Internet online transaction was successful.

Of course, as the most successful e-commerce person, Ma Dian came into contact with e-commerce a little earlier in his last life—in 1997, after being invited by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to establish the China International E-Commerce Center (EDI) in Beijing, Ma Dian He gave up China Yellow Pages, and sold his 21% of China Yellow Pages shares to the company at a low price of 20 to 30 cents per share, and got back more than 100,000 yuan. His team has developed a series of websites in Beijing, including the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, the online Chinese commodity trading market, the online China Technology Export Fair, China Merchants, the online Canton Fair and China Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.

At present, the mainland has no e-commerce platform, no online banking, and even logistics that can support e-commerce. Taking a step back, even the full bridge network and the Internet have not been officially opened, so how can it be possible to develop an e-commerce platform? conditions?

But--

Except for Xu Cun, a foresighted person, no one can imagine how incredible the rapid development of the Internet is!

Even if Xu Cun does not intervene, B2C websites such as 8848 will be opened in three or four years. Therefore, if Xu Cun does not start early, he will have to compete with 8848 and eBay for development.

Xu Cun said with a smile: "If the conditions are not enough, we can create it. I have a bank. Within a year, Baye Bank will launch online banking business. The logistics company is easier to manage. Just build one. If necessary, I guarantee that it will be completed within a month. There will be a logistics company that can support the development of e-commerce. As for the network, it is best to handle it. I am not only one of the major shareholders of China Telecom, but also one of the major shareholders of China Unicom. Netcom, I will come forward in person, and the network will be unimpeded by the end of this year at the latest."

Seeing that Xu Cun paved the way for the establishment of an e-commerce platform in such an understatement, Ma Dian swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and then said dryly: "Mr. Well, I feel... I feel that this platform may not be profitable within three to five years..."

Xu Cun waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about money. I'll invest 100 million US dollars for you first. If it's not enough, I'll add more. There is no upper limit. When the company is officially in operation, I will give you shares depending on what you do... as long as you do it. It's not too bad, I won't give you less than ten percent of the shares."

"Ten percent, ten million...dollars!" Hearing Xu Cun's words, Ma Dian's pupils shrank suddenly, and his brain immediately went blank!

Seeing Ma Dian's gaffe, Xu Cun's mind is not to mention how satisfied!

Xu Cun looked at Ma Dian and said, "Do you have any questions?"

Xu Cun's question brought Ma Dian back to his senses immediately, and Ma Dian quickly stood up and said, "Xu...Mr. Xu, that...that...what is the name of our company...platform...the platform What's your name?"

Xu Cun said: "The company is called Alibaba, and the platform is called Taobao."
