Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era

It doesn't matter if Boss Ma yelled, everyone in the company immediately looked at him. Even Cai Chongxin who walked to the door turned back immediately after hearing this yell.

Everyone knows that Boss Ma has been coveting this domain name for a long time.

Cai Chongxin also persuaded him a long time ago to take down this domain name as soon as possible. Even if it is 10,000 US dollars, the price is still very worthwhile.

After all, our goal is to be an international company. For an international company, buying a domain name for $10,000 is already very cheap.

Otherwise, once your company grows, the domain name owner will keep raising the price tag.

At that point, it will cost more to buy it.

However, due to various considerations, Boss Ma still did not make a move in the end.

There are many reasons for not doing it.

First of all, this domain name is really expensive;

Secondly, there is no strong guarantee these days. If the other party is untrustworthy, the money may be wasted. After all, the other party is a Canadian. If he is cheated, there is no chance of calling the police;

Again, he always felt that only he would be interested in this domain name, and no one else would buy it.

That's why he wanted to wait until the capital negotiation was completed before using the capital's money to buy.

But now, the cruel reality instantly regretted it.

If I had known that there were still people interested in this domain name, I would have gritted my teeth and taken it down...

At this time, Cai Chongxin had already come to his computer.

Glancing at the screen, he frowned and said, "You're using Netease 163's mailbox, Huaxia?"

"It looks like it is!" Boss Ma nodded nervously: "It's really a hell!"

He also noticed this detail, so he was very worried. He didn't know why a Chinese person would take this domain name.

The price of this domain name is 10,000 US dollars, which means that when Jeremy Xu bought this domain name, the actual price must not be less than this amount!

Is he crazy? Alibaba, this is a four-pin domain name! For the current domestic Internet, this domain name is worthless.

After all, registering a random Shuangpin domain name these days costs only a few tens of dollars, and for Chinese people, Shuangpin vocabulary is more catchy.

Does alibaba have any special meaning for this JeremyXu? !

Then the more important question comes, what is the intention of this person spending so much money to buy this domain name?

Is he also going to set up a company called alibaba?

If so, it's really tricky.

No matter what industry his alibaba is in, as long as he has this domain name, he is authentic alibaba!

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

He has a strong obsession with the name, which has been on his mind for a year, and he never intends to change it.

Otherwise, when he knew that the domain name sold for 10,000 US dollars, he could directly think of another name, and there was no need to register the domain name of alibaba-online as a backup.

Cai Chongxin on the side knew his obsession with this name, so he asked him: "Mr. Ma, what should we do now?"

Boss Ma resolutely said: "No matter how much it costs, I will buy this domain name back!"

With this in mind, he immediately opened his mailbox and sent an email to Xu Yiyang's mailbox.

In the email, Boss Ma asked Xu Yiyang: "Hi friend, I saw the email address you left on the website. I would like to ask, is your domain name for sale? If so, how much is it?"

Xu Yiyang received the email and looked at the sender's name, JackMa0910, it seems that this is Boss Ma himself.

He did not expect that the domain name had just been changed to his own today.

Boss Ma came over immediately, it seems that he has been paying attention to this domain name.

Thinking of this, he sent an email back to Boss Ma: "This domain name is not yet considered for sale, sorry."

A few minutes later, Boss Ma returned the email: "My friend, email chat is too inefficient. Do you have OICQ? Can we add a friend? My number is..."

Xu Yiyang couldn't help laughing, it seems that when the bosses no longer wanted to be giants, they were still very harmonious.

It is very likely that at the stage when everyone did not violate the river, Boss Ma always used Mr. Ma’s QQ, and Mr. Ma would go to Taobao to shop when he was free.

But later, Boss Ma started Wangwang, contacts, and Dingding;

Mr. Ma also started Paipai, invested in JD.com, opened a Weidian, and took a stake in Pinduoduo.

The two spare no effort to target each other. Is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality?

In the final analysis, it is only because of the insatiable heart in each other's hearts.

After feeling emotional for a while, Xu Yiyang deleted his introduction about investors on OICQ, and then added Boss Ma as a friend.

Boss Ma immediately sent him a message: "Friend, what price do you plan to sell this domain name for?"

Xu Yiyang said: "I don't think about selling it, I plan to use it myself."

"Use it yourself?!" Boss Ma hurriedly asked again: "I don't know what you are planning to do? Are you starting a business?"

"Yes." Xu Yiyang said nonsense: "I am going to build a website to read the world's classic fairy tales online. After all, everyone has heard the story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves, and it is catchy."

Boss Ma hurriedly said: "You can call it Frog Prince or Snow White, these two stories are more famous than Alibaba."

Xu Yiyang said: "No, I still like the story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves."

Boss Ma said: "I am willing to spend 100,000 yuan to buy your domain name!"

Xu Yiyang said: "I'm sorry, I'm not short of money. I entrusted a friend in Canada to help me buy this domain name. It cost 10,000 US dollars. It's impossible to sell it for a little difference."

Boss Ma became even more anxious when he saw this, and said, "If you think it's not enough, I can add a little more."

Xu Yiyang said: "It's not about money, I don't care even if you pay one million, because I really don't need this little money."

After speaking, Xu Yiyang said again: "It is my obsession and passion to be a fairy tale website."

Boss Ma felt desperate, so he had to say: "In fact, I have been fancying this domain name for a long time. Because the former owner of the domain name is overseas, it is inconvenient to trade, so I have never bought it. Therefore, I hope that my friends can part with it. I will try my best to show my sincerity in terms of price."

Xu Yiyang said: "Dude, I've already told you, so it's useless to keep asking. If you really want this domain name, then come back in October. If my fairy tale website hasn't been launched in October, I'll give it a try. Let’s talk about domain names later.”

After finishing speaking, Xu Yiyang recorded Boss Ma's OICQ number and directly deleted him from the friend list.

Seeing that the other party has deleted him, Boss Ma felt very upset.

Cai Chongxin had been watching the chat between him and Xu Yiyang, and now he looked at him and asked, "President Ma, what should we do now?"

Boss Ma sighed, and said: "The thing is in his hands, there is no other way but to wait."

After finishing speaking, he said dejectedly: "Spending ten thousand dollars to buy a domain name to build a fairy tale website, isn't that money to burn? How can there be any business model for this kind of project? It will be yellow sooner or later!"

Cai Chongxin said: "Then we can only pay attention to it every day. I hope his project is stillborn."

...

At this time, Xu Yiyang was sitting cross-legged on the ground, excitedly looking at the laptop on the coffee table.

I have already contacted Boss Ma, and I will leave the rest to time.

He speculated that investors like Lin Xiaru who are familiar with Cai Chongxin should have heard of Ali’s project, but because Ali is not ready yet, investors should not have a deep understanding of it for the time being.

So he decided to perfect and polish his business plan and send it out in early August.

In this way, investors like Lin Xiaru and others should immediately lose confidence in investing in Ali, and then lose interest.

Although Boss Ma has gained some fame and contacts in the past few years, the capital industry is very cruel. It is a common feature of all capitalists to give umbrellas when it is sunny and to take umbrellas when it is rainy.

Investing money in a person must be optimistic about the profit prospects of the project. If you lose confidence in his project, no one will pay him millions of dollars for the sake of face and relationship.

If Lin Xiaru does not take the lead on behalf of Goldman Sachs, and other capitals are not optimistic, Boss Ma's financing will definitely hit a wall everywhere.

It is estimated that at that time, he no longer had the energy to find himself to buy a domain name.

However, now that I have his email address and OICQ, I can take the initiative to find him and say, "Hey buddy, I'm not going to start my fairy tale website, do you still want this domain name?"

If he said yes, I asked him what he was going to do, talked about his general business plan, and then pretended to be very interested and said to him: "Sounds good, do you need investment? If so, I will vote for you."

If he said no, ask him what's going on? If he didn't say anything, he would directly ask, "Have you encountered any setbacks? Why don't you tell me, and I'll see if I can help you solve it."

Anyway, the bureau has been laid out, and then all roads will lead to Rome.

As long as Boss Ma is willing to use his own investment, money and domain names to save him from dire straits.

Just as he was excited, the head of a cartoon pony flashed in the friend list.

It was a message from Mr. Ma of Shenzhen City: "Mr. Xu, is your itinerary for Guangcheng settled?"

In the past two days, Mr. Ma has been very nervous.

He was afraid that Xu Yiyang was just a flash in the pan, so after talking about investing in him, he turned around and sent pigeons away again.

So when I saw that OICQ was online, I hurried over to ask him.

Xu Yiyang replied: "It's fixed. I have a flight on Monday morning. When I arrive, I will go to a law firm and a lawyer who is good at investment and financing. On Tuesday morning, we will bring our lawyers and meet in Guangzhou."

Mr. Ma finally felt relieved when he saw this sentence.

Xu Yiyang's 4.8 million, in his opinion, is life-saving food and grass, and nothing can be lost.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Mr. Ma asked again: "Mr. Xu, has your hotel been booked? Shall I ask a friend to help you arrange it?"

Xu Yiyang said: "No need for Mr. Ma, I have already called and booked the Hilton Hotel in Guangzhou. When the time comes, you and your lawyer can come directly to the Hilton."

Mr. Ma said excitedly: "Okay Mr. Xu, then we will meet on Tuesday morning!"

Mr. Ma's words, to Xu Yiyang, are simply the calling of a wealthy man!

Xu Yiyang was more excited than him, and typed five words with trembling hands:

"President Ma, see you on Tuesday!"
