Chapter 235: Start all over again
Chu Han simply provided two ideas, which immediately made the people discussing more enthusiastic.
Because as Chu Han said, it seems that it really works, provided that Chu Han’s funds must be in place.
"In the first phase, five million, we will first carry out B2B business. If you can start, I will invest another 100 million to help you carry out B2C business." Chu Han said.
B2C business and national logistics will definitely not be launched at this point in time. First, there are not so many netizens, and there will not be so many people shopping online.
Second, Chu Han doesn’t have that much money at all.
But it doesn’t cost much to start the B2B business in the first phase, and even five million may not be spent. When Ma Yun started the B2B business in her previous life, everyone raised several million together and opened the 1688 website.
In the next two years, Ma Yun tried B2C business, but her steps were too big and she became sloppy. B2C was far more complicated than he thought and had more funds.
At that time, Ali was directly in crisis and Ma Yun began to ask for help everywhere.
Unfortunately, his e-commerce only does B2B. Although he explained the future of the B2C business to many investors, B2C will be a huge bottomless pit. Before the logistics industry grows up, this business can't see any hope of making money.
No one is willing to wait for the logistics industry to grow. Capitalists are looking at potential, but it does not mean they are willing to take huge risks.
If the logistics industry does not develop in the future, they will bear the risk of wasting hundreds of millions or even tens of billions of dollars.
There is only one person who sees Ma Yun’s future potential.
That is Masayoshi of Neon. He gave Ma Yun 20 million US dollars to help Ma Yun successfully build the B2C business and even carry out the business globally.
Masayoshi Son's nationality is Neon, but his ancestral home is Chinese. The SoftBank Venture Capital Company he opened in Neon is also an investment company that is comparable to the top four.
Due to historical reasons, Neon has been crazily suppressing its country's Internet industry, so the Internet industry has not risen in Neon because Neon's consortium is too xenophobic.
But this does not mean that they are not optimistic about the Internet, so Masayoshi Son founded SoftBank and only invested in the IT industry. If Neon doesn’t, then look for other countries. As long as the company has certain potential, he would rather go thousands of miles to invest.
Because of these 20 million US dollars, Ma Yun successfully became a legend of the Internet in China and even the world.
According to the exchange rate in 1999, it is almost 180 million US dollars.
It took nearly 200 million yuan to successfully build the B2C business. This is still the time when the express delivery industry has not yet fully emerged.
With the complete rise of the logistics and express delivery industry, Ali also began a legend that belongs to them.
But now Chu Han is here, there is no matter what Masayoshi Son is, or even Goldman Sachs is no matter what.
The discussion finally ended until two o'clock in the morning, and Ma Yun found a room for Chu Han.
Others have their own homes here, so naturally they went home. Only Ma Yun and his wife were left here. They invited Chu Han directly to live at home, which shows Ma Yun's desire for Chu Han to invest.
Before going to bed, Chu Han and Ma Yun chatted a lot.
After a while of chatting, he realized that Ma Yun is not only good at bragging, but truly has great wisdom, provided that these great wisdoms can be realized, but not realized, that is called bragging.
"Brother Chu, to be honest, my company does not need investment for the time being. As long as the website is opened and users are attracted, we can make money, but I still promised your investment. The main reason is that you woke me up. Also, you are a real talented person, so I promised your investment. With investment, my company will grow faster, but one thing is, I hope you can join my board of directors."
Chu Han shook his head and said, "You don't know yet. I run an investment company. I have invested in Penguin, MP3, a grain company, and BD in Beijing. I am very busy and may not be able to serve as a director of your company."
Because many of the newly-launched companies are very busy, this leads to frequent meetings on the board of directors. Chu Han doesn’t want to run towards Suhang every few days, so he has a lot of things to do.
When Ma Yun heard that Chu Han had actually invested in penguins, she immediately widened her eyes in surprise: "Did you think the penguins were you invested in?"
"Yes, I only own equity in Penguin and do not serve as a director because it is too troublesome. Brother Ma, I hope that you only own equity in your company. After all, this company was created by you, and only you know how to operate it. It is actually not necessary if I join or not."
"I understand, but Brother Chu, I still want to tell you some things. I hope you don't just look at short-term returns. After all, you analyzed it yourself just now. My company will become mainstream in the future, but many investment companies only look at short-term returns. If there is no income in a short-term, they will withdraw their investment. I think this is very unwise." Ma Yun said.
"I know, you can rest assured that this is the case. I believe in you and more trust the philosophy of your company."
"To be precise, it's your philosophy. Without you, I wouldn't have thought of this." Ma Yun said modestly.
The two looked at each other and smiled, Chu Han asked, "Have the company's name been decided?"
"I've decided. I bought a domain name from abroad, called Alibaba, and the fairy tale of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves, you should have heard it? My company is an undigged cave. The cave contains treasures. I hope to personally dig out the treasures of this company." Ma Yun said firmly.
This man in his thirties failed twice in his business, but his passion has never cooled down. Today this year is his third business. No one knows what his future will be like. Ding Sanshi and Zhang Chaoyang, who are the same age as him, are now rising stars. Brother Ma, who is younger than him, is rushing around in the Internet world, beating the third family and screaming.
They have all met in the world and discussed heroes with each other, but Ma Yun is just starting out.
Many people have dissuaded him. He is in his thirties, so don’t bother. Isn’t it good to be an English teacher?
But he was dissatisfied and insisted on making trouble. He didn't fail to succeed. Didn't Huang Page earn him hundreds of thousands of dollars? How could it be called a mess?
Anyway, he started to mess around again, but this time, no one was optimistic about him.
Chu Han is the first person to be optimistic about him and even give him inspiration, so Ma Yun is very grateful to Chu Han and is willing to accept Chu Han's investment.
At this moment, Ma Yun's cell phone rang, and Chu Han clearly saw that the contact was a person named Cai Congxin.
After answering the phone, Ma Yun apologized: "Sorry, I don't need Goldman Sachs' investment anymore. I have found an investor. This person has a good relationship with me. Well, that's it, bye."
