Chapter 177: The old horse is also interested in HOLA

The two sides didn't chat for too long. After the other party left, Chen William looked at Boss Ma with a half-smiling smile and said:

"Old Ma, why don't you explain it?"

"what?"

Install, continue to install.

Chen William said angrily: "You think I'm stupid, old horse, as soon as you come to Hangcheng, you take me here to see your Taobao City, and you tell me so many policies, and you happen to meet the deputy here. Mayor, are there so many coincidences in inviting me to attend tomorrow's investment promotion meeting?"

"Haha, this kind of thing is unavoidable. Leaders please entrust me to me. I can't let you know and refuse to agree. Anyway, this matter is also a good thing for you. If it doesn't feel right, then just don't invest."

Chen William just wanted to show his attitude, lest Boss Ma make any suggestions without authorization next time, but this time, he really can participate.

In the evening, Boss Ma found a place to entertain Chen William in Hangcheng. At this time, Yang Mi also arrived in Hangzhou, and Chen William directly took her to participate.

Recently, she was filming in Hengdian. After joining Huayi, Wang Zhonglei also attached great importance to her, and especially arranged for her to be the protagonist of a costume drama. Knowing that Chen William came to Hangzhou, she asked the crew for leave and rushed over by car.

Anyway, Hengdian is also close to Hangzhou, about 150 kilometers away, and it takes less than two hours to arrive by car.

Seeing that William Chen brought Yang Mi to the banquet, Boss Ma not only didn't mind, but was in a good mood. There are many rich people he has contacted with, especially his age and wealth like Chen William. It is normal to be romantic, and bringing his lover to this kind of private banquet also shows that Chen William treats him as himself. Man, this is what he would love to see.

In addition, Boss Ma is still closely connected with the entertainment industry. There are many stars and directors in the circle who have a good relationship with him. Even later, he himself played tickets, held concerts, and made movies, and he also enjoyed it.

Therefore, at the banquet, he also chatted with Yang Mi about some topics in the entertainment industry, which also made Yang Mi feel flattered. After all, Boss Ma is very famous in China at this time. He is one of the three giants of the Internet. know him.

And now she can eat and chat with such a big guy at a dinner party. This is something Yang Mi didn't dare to think about before. Now, she is just a graduate, and she is completely incomparable with the more experienced later.

Of course, as smart as she is, she naturally understands why a big guy like Boss Ma is so approachable to herself, it is purely for Chen William's face, so in her heart, she is more determined to stay by Chen William's side , following him, he can stand higher and see the world he looked up to before.

"I heard that you bought Chen Tianqiao's house?"

Boss Ma said: "When I went to Magic Capital before, he took me to the house to see it. It was still being renovated at that time. It was really good."

After chatting, I found out that the relationship between Boss Ma and Chen Tianqiao is also good. Boss Ma organized a Jiangnan Club, and Chen Tianqiao is also one of the members. In particular, Chen Tianqiao gradually quit the company due to physical reasons, and began to focus on investment, which also made Boss Ma sigh.

Hearing that the two of them mentioned the house that William Chen bought, Yang Mi was curious. She knew about Chen Tianqiao. She used to be the richest man in China, and Shanda was a gamer. Yang Mi was usually a game girl when she was idle. She has played many Shanda games.

Since she bought the house from Chen Tianqiao, it must not be too simple, but it is not convenient to ask directly now. She saved this matter in her mind and was going to ask Chen William privately.

"William, are you coming this time to do business in China?"

"I have this idea. Actually, I am very optimistic about the development of Huaguo. Before, there was a special venture capital fund, which was investing in some promising start-up companies in Huaguo. This time, I cooperated with the Troup Group, mainly to develop Huaguo's real estate. industry."

"Oh? Which companies have you invested in?"

Gu Xu

Hearing William Chen talking about his venture capital fund, Boss Ma asked with interest.

"My Huaxia Future Capital is dedicated to investing in Huaguo's start-up companies. There are not many investments now, only Mr. Lei Jun's project, and the Dianping.com just now."

"Dianping.com, I know, so we are competitors."

What Boss Ma said is also good. At this time, there are not many domestic competitors in Dianping. The only one that can be said to be a competitor is Koubei.com, which was founded later. This website was later invested by Ali, and now it has partnered with Yahoo! Huaguo cooperation has become a Yahoo word-of-mouth network.

"It's not really, I'm just a pure financial investment. Besides, the market is so big, it's impossible for this type of website to monopolize the market, and there will always be multiple coexistence."

Chen William knew that in the group buying industry, a battle of thousands of groups was about to take place. Thousands of group buying websites were fighting each other.

"Then you don't plan to develop other companies in China?"

Oh? I feel that Boss Ma is referring to something. Hearing his question, William Chen subconsciously thought of the cooperation that Sun Zhengyi had just talked to him in Japan. Is Boss Ma also interested?

It's not impossible, or it won't push his social software "contact" in a few years. But this is normal. The three BAT giants have their own core areas. Baidu is search, Penguin is social networking, and Ali is e-commerce.

But later, Penguin did e-commerce and search; Baidu also did e-commerce; seeing that they all wanted to grab food from him, Boss Ma would naturally not be reconciled. He also launched the chat software Wangwang before. , but except that users will use it when shopping, there is no splash at all other times, so now seeing the popularity overseas, it is normal for him to be tempted.

Therefore, William Chen said: "In the Internet industry, you should be a little more cautious. You know, about the previous Twitter company, although I just bought this company at the time, I haven't had time to change their business style, but this matter will be a little bit. influences."

Boss Ma waved his hand and said: "This is different, I also know about Twitter, it has media attributes like Google, and it must be strictly regulated in this regard, just like yours, it is a chat software, this will not There are too many restrictions, Microsoft MSN has not encountered any trouble before, but it has not competed with Penguin, I think it is still very hopeful to break Penguin’s monopoly on social networking.”

Hearing what he said, it seemed that he was really right.

Sure enough, Boss Ma continued to ask: "I heard that you have reached an agreement with Mr. Sun Zhengyi, and will you cooperate with SoftBank to promote it in Japan?"

"Yes, an agreement has been reached in principle. Now we are talking about the specific cooperation method, which should be settled soon."

Boss Ma's eyes lit up: "Then can we also use this method? Ali cooperates with the company to promote it in China? We will do our best to help compete with Penguin."

"Haha, old horse, you are looking at Penguin as an e-commerce business. You are angry and want to fight back."

"It's not that I'm not talking big, Penguin's e-commerce can't be done, and we will soon be defeated by us. But now the Chinese social network Penguin is the dominant family, which is not a good thing, only competition can be achieved. There is development."

"I don't know if you have used it or not. You must know that ours is not like a domestic chat software. All chat content is encrypted and uploaded to the server, which means that the company's background cannot see the user's chat content. Therefore, if it is used in your e-commerce, there is no way to verify which party has breached the contract through the official."

In the past, when there was a dispute between users and merchants, Ali's Taobao would only use the Wangwang chat records of both parties as credentials. That is to say, if the merchant cheated by using other chat software such as QQ with the user, then Ali's side is Those chat records will not be used as evidence.

On the one hand, it is to promote their own Wangwang, and the other is very realistic, that is, on Wangwang, the chat records of both parties can be checked by officials and cannot be faked, but in other chat software, if you want to verify the authenticity, you must ask When those companies ask for chat records, the other party may not cooperate, and there are so many disputes. It takes a lot of energy to do it all.

But the difference is that the chat content is encrypted, and only the two sides of the chat can see it, not even the official backend, so it cannot serve the communication between e-commerce users and sellers.
