Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1107 – Got the wrong script?!

Sun Lijie took a deep breath. Manager Feng thinks highly of Ma Yun and his team. His offer to Ma Yun and his team is too attractive, and Sun Lijie wonders what’s so special is Manager Ma’s company?

Ma Yun shook his head. “Sorry, Manager Feng. I cannot agree with your offer!”

“50%! I will give you 50% of the company shares and will invest 50 million USD!” Feng Yu increased his offer.

“Manager Feng, my company is doing well now, and does not need any investments.” Ma Yun replied.

“Manager Ma, can I ask how much your company is worth?”

“It should be around 100 million RMB, and less than 200 million.”

Huh? 100 million and less than 200 million RMB? This is not the same as what happened in Feng Yu’s previous life. In his previous life, Alibaba had gotten their first funding of 5 million USD and got 20 million USD on its second funding. This is equivalent to more than 200 million RMB. If Ma Yun had gotten his first funding, his company should be worth only around 40 million RMB.

Did I get the wrong script?

“Manager Ma, did anyone invested in your company, or is it raised by you and your team?” Feng Yu asked.

“Someone had invested in our company. But we had also taken loans from the banks.”

Loans? Ma Yun had taken bank loans?

Damn! How come I am not aware Ma Yun had taken bank loans in my previous life? Which bank is so bold to lend his company money? At this time, this company should be an empty shell.

“Which institution had invested in you all?”

“Manager Feng, I am not supposed to reveal all these to you.” Ma Yun is getting pissed. Even if you are Asia’s top billionaire, I have no obligations to answer your questions. This is my company’s internal affairs. Why should I tell you?

“Manager Ma, I am very interested in your company. Are you doing global wholesale?”

“Yes.” Ma Yun nodded. This is not a secret. Since Feng Yu knows about this, that means he had seen his website before.

“That right. You are also doing domestic wholesale, right?”

“Yes.” action

“I like your idea, and I wish to invest in your company. But since your company does not lack funding now and doesn’t want me to invest, I would like to buy the shares from your investors. Don’t worry. I have no intention of interfering with your company’s operation or acquire it. I only want to invest in your dreams!”

Feng Yu looks at Ma Yun sincerely, hoping Ma Yun will change his mind.

“Manager Feng. Actually, I don’t mind telling you who my investor is. I heard that you are close to that person. My investor is not any financial institution. It is two people, Zhong Qingxian and Liu Chuanzhi.”

Huh?!

Feng Yu’s jaw almost dropped to the ground. How come it’s them?

These two people had seen the prospect of this company?!

Ma Yun continued. “When I started my business, I lack funds. My team and I raised slightly more than two million and borrowed from friends and relatives. We also mortgage my previous company and my house to get a loan of around 2 million RMB.”

“We used the five million raised and started writing the codes for our website. At this time, some companies heard of us and wish to invest in us. We negotiated for a few days, and a representative from the investor company resigned and joined us with some investment.”

Feng Yu and Sun Lijie looked at Ma Yun with respect. He had managed to convince the other party’s representative to join and invest in him!

Alibaba’s founder is no joke!

“After our website goes online, not a lot of people signed up, and we are getting very low views. This is because we have no money to promote our company. So, we decided to get someone to help us. I am from Zhejiang, and the company is registered in Hangzhou. In Hangzhou, the most famous tycoon is Zhong Qingxian.”

“I went to look for Mr. Zhong, hoping he will help us. After all, Mr. Zhong is the Head of Zhejiang’s Chamber of Commerce. I met Mr. Zhong a few times, and he agreed to help us promote our website. At the same time, he is willing to invest some money in us.”

“Our company’s fund is running low, and we need to buy servers. So, Mr. Zhong introduced Manager Liu to us. I spoke to Manager Liu, and he agreed to invest a sum of money into my company. I took another loan from the bank to expand our scale.”

“Now, our website’s registered users are over 500,000, and the transactions are increasing. With Mr. Zhong and Manager Liu’s help, the number of users is still increasing, and we will reach 1 million by next year. At that time, we should see some profits...”

Feng Yu is speechless. Alibaba’s founder is extraordinary. Whoever that speaks to him will want to invest in him. He is like the main character of s... Yes... Feng Yu had also heard Sun Zhengyi is also someone like Ma Yun in his previous life.

Last year’s <Forbes> billionaire list, Sun Zhengyi is ranked fourth globally, and second in Asia. He is behind Bill Gates, Feng Yu, and Warren Buffett, and is ranked higher than Superman Li. This is because Sun Zhengyi owns 30% of Yahoo’s shares, and Softbank had invested in many internet companies. After those internet companies got listed, their share prices had shot up.

Luckily, Softbank had not invested in Alibaba and had only invested in other Chinese internet and technology companies. If not, Sun Zhengyi’s net worth would have exceeded Bill Gates. In Feng Yu’s previous life, Sun Zhengyi’s net worth had overtaken Bill Gates once for a short period.

Because of Feng Yu’s rebirth, history had changed. The main events of the world remained the same, but some minor details had changed. Alibaba no longer needs Feng Yu to invest now.

Damn! The investors are Zhong Qingxian and Liu Chuanzhi. How is Feng Yu going to make them sell him Alibaba’s shares?!

But this is not an issue for Feng Yu. He still has a way to invest in Alibaba!

“Manager Ma, have you heard about eBay and Amazon? I am talking about the two US internet eCommerce companies.” Feng Yu asked.

“Yes. eBay is doing the C2C business, and Amazon is doing B2C. Their operating model is very new, but our company is different. We are doing B2B business, and are targeting companies and not individuals.”

Feng Yu is overjoyed and is confident he can convince Ma Yun.

“Out of these three models, which do you think has the best advantage?”

“There are pros and cons for each model, and you cannot compare them like this.” Ma Yun frowned.

“Are you interested in trying B2C or C2C? I can get the operation plan and the codes of such websites. I can also help you get experienced developers to join you all.”

“Manager Feng, what do you mean?”

“I had invested in Amazon, and my friend had invested in eBay. If you want to enter the B2C or C2C market, we can cooperate, preventing unnecessary competition! Manager Ma, consider this.”

Ma Yun was stunned. He thought he is the first person in China to enter the eCommerce trade. But Feng Yu and his friend had already been in this trade for several years overseas!

Ma Yun starts to hesitate.
