When the market capitalization of Tencent and Alibaba exceeded $300 billion respectively, and the two entrepreneurial CEOs dominated China's economic and Internet circles, they invariably had a common habit, which only people who were very close to them knew about it.
Whenever they get a call from the CEO of a company with a fraction of the market value of their business, they always smile.
Whenever they meet with this boss, they will always go out to greet each other regardless of their status, and they will definitely spare a lot of time to talk about their arms and arms, and they will not get drunk and go home.
Even Tencent's Ma Zong, who claims to be not drunk for a thousand cups, will definitely get drunk.
This person is Wang Bin, the CEO of the North China Paper Group located in North China and radiating Northeast Asia, known as the king of Chinese papermaking.
It started in the summer of 1999.
When Wang Ai instructed the establishment of a Beyond Internet Investment Company in Beijing's Haidian District, along the developed communication channels in Zhongguancun, Internet circles across the country heard about it.
Although China's Internet industry is only two years slower than that of Silicon Valley in the United States, the public, especially the capitalists, do not have enough understanding of the Internet, so it is difficult for Chinese Internet companies in the initial stage to obtain investment in China, and eventually have to seek investors from the United States and Japan.
No matter how much the Chinese companies that refused to invest in the future beat their chests, it will no longer help, and the huge profits created by a large number of Chinese netizens have been taken by foreigners in vain.
However, all this changed with Wang Ai's guidance.
Relying on high-end Internet cafes throughout Liaoning Province, the abundant capital flow can reach as much as 400 million yuan per year.
Twenty years later, this is nothing, and a rental bicycle business that is touted as the new four great inventions can raise 2 billion.
However, in 1999, when the Internet industry was created, this was already astronomical, and you must know that in 1999, Beijing's Zhongguancun Park project had just been launched.
Tencent, which was forced by funds to have no way out, even sold QQ for 1 million yuan!
Also in 1999, Ma Yun, who had encountered countless walls in Beijing, returned to Hangzhou, found 17 unconvinced friends, and started Alibaba's great journey in a two-bedroom and two-living apartment building.
Wang Ai deliberately spent three nights talking and exchanging with Wang Bin, in-depth analysis of the future development of Internet enterprises for Wang Bin, and revealing the bright future of Internet development.
Wang Ai took Tencent as an example, in the case of a text message fee of five cents and a phone call fee of one minute, the advantage of a free Internet instant messaging software is extremely huge, and it only costs a few dollars to pay for Internet access, and you can call friends around the world without restrictions.
Taking Alibaba as an example, after opening up the channel between merchants and consumers, the huge profits that originally belonged to the intermediate link will become extremely low prices for goods, and through the full display of the Internet and the distribution of logistics companies around the country, we can truly achieve the ultimate that Chinese businessmen have been looking forward to for thousands of years: business is prosperous all over the world, and the wealth is lush up to Sanjiang!
In August 1999, Wang Bin made a phone call to Shenzhen and Hangzhou on behalf of Beyond Internet Investment Company.
In this year, there was no such rampant telecom fraud as in later generations, so the two Mr.
Ma were very excited after receiving the call.
Because the other party signed up for Wang Bin, the boss of China North Paper Group!
This name has been too loud in the past year, and the battle for Beijing and Tianjin for toilet paper has been reported in the newspapers one after another, and in order to seek investment and pay great attention to economic news, the two Ma presidents are familiar with the name Wang Bin, and even moved the idea of seeking investment, but unfortunately Wang Bin dived too deep, and the two Ma presidents just got on the road at this time, and Wang Bin couldn't catch up.
Therefore, the two Ma presidents couldn't hide their joy after receiving Wang Bin's call, and although they were shy in their pockets, they gritted their teeth and squeezed out the funds and rushed to Beijing by plane the next day.
There is no way, the CEO of such a large enterprise as NORINCO must be very busy, and there is definitely not much time to see them.
Wang Ai deliberately took the time to attend this meeting, and of course Wang Ai did not want to miss the opportunity to witness this important meeting that must have changed the course of China's Internet industry and was enough to be recorded in the history of China's Internet development.
Of course, Wang Ai did not speak out, but only acted as a waiter as Wang Bin's son, Xiao Zhuangyuan, and a student of the philosophy department of Chinese University, even so, Wang Ai felt honored.
The two Ma presidents brought some team members, but when they arrived at the meeting place of the Jingxi Hotel: the presidential suite on the top floor, their respective team members were a little empty, and finally the two Ma presidents, Wang Bin and father and son held this crucial meeting.
The two Ma presidents were a little surprised by each other's arrival, but they didn't have time to introduce each other, so they entered the room together under Wang Bin's greeting.
Their team members were arranged in two lounges, and they also arranged accommodation rooms in Jingxi Hotel, which was very thoughtful.
Although Wang Bin didn't have time to communicate with them specifically, Wang Aike knew that these people who are now inconspicuous will be the most influential figures on the Chinese Internet in the future.
This year, Ma Yun, who is already 35 years old, is more free and easy, talking about the development prospects of enterprises and the development prospects of the Internet, this year 28-year-old Ma Huateng still has the shyness unique to engineering men, not many words, but very calm.
After listening carefully to the investment value of the two Ma presidents on the development of the enterprise, Wang Ai poured two cups of tea for the two, and the two also wanted to slow down and gossip with Wang Ai with a smile.
I don't know how many people in China every year, but there are only two champions in the national college entrance examination every year, especially Wang Ai, who is the youngest, and who defeated the liberal arts champion of science in the same year.
After chatting a few words, Wang Bin said: "The two Mr.
Ma's words just now are very exciting, which helps me see the future more clearly.
Both of you know that I am in the manufacturing industry and do not understand the Internet, but I have a slight view on the development of enterprises.
From my point of view, the Internet will not produce any physical products, but it can better allocate resources to society with its huge information advantage.
It is now the eve of the development of the Internet in China, and I am aware of the great development prospects of the Internet by virtue of the tremendous role of the telephone in promoting human life and economic development.
At the same time, I also think that the two Mr.
Ma themselves have investment value.
So, we decided to inject capital into our businesses.
Don't know how much money you need?
” The two Ma presidents looked at each other, and as usual, Ma Yun spoke first, and said with a smile: "Mr.
Wang, I am Han Xin's soldier." ” Wang Bin smiled and looked at Ma Huateng.

Ma Huateng hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "I think five million is enough." ” Wang Bin was silent for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "Five million?
Not enough.
Apple received a loan of $300,000 in the 70s.
Microsoft Corporation in the 80s had $100 million in sales.
Now that the new century is approaching, 5 million yuan is equivalent to about 600,000 US dollars, which is too small and too slow to promote the development of your enterprise.
The development of the Internet on the other side of the ocean is changing with each passing day, and it is still a long night on our side, and time is running out. ” The two presidents were silent for a while, if they could get investment from Chinese companies, why did they need to ask foreigners for help?
"Thirty million!"
Wang Bin said: "In the first batch of investment, I will invest 30 million yuan in the two companies. ” Ma Yun stood up suddenly, walked over and held Wang Bin's hand, and Ma Yun was full of emotion after years of sadness: "Mr.
Wang, is it true?"
Oh, sorry, rude, thank you very much, thank you for trusting us!
” Ma Huateng held up his glasses to hide his excitement.
Wang Bin stood up and poured tea for the two of them personally: "Two, I haven't finished talking yet, if your company reaches the predetermined goal within the deadline, I will continue to invest in you."
My plan is to inject 500 million yuan into each of your two companies in the next three years. ” ()
