Chapter 1002 Formal withdrawal
On the other side, the secretary knocked on the door twice, pushed Zuckerberg's office away, saw him sitting leisurely behind the table, knowing that he was just worried, reminded, "The meeting between the boss and the architectural design team from the United States will start in five minutes,"
"I got it," Zuckerberg nodded.
According to Feng Yiping's habit, in India, it is best to have its own park.
He left the matter to Zuckerberg. Whether to build this park in Mumbai, Bangalore, or Chennai, it is up to Zuckerberg to decide what kind of park to build.
Zuckerberg finally chose Bengaluru because in his opinion, this place is simply Shenzhen in India.
This is actually a manifestation of Feng Yiping's trust in him and reliance on him, because he is really responsible for all the engineering projects that seem to be costly.
Although the company's perfect management system has made him personally unable to make profits for himself in such a project, it is also a rare thing to hand over such a thing to a young man who is only in his early twenties.
For Zuckerberg, this is also a task that is very helpful for his growth. Being responsible for such a project means that he will once again have to contact all aspects and handle relevant relationships.
I believe that after such training, he may be more indifferent to the situation when he meets Bruce who just met LinkedIn.
Of course, maybe he would have the same attitude today, which is the most typical practice of Zuckerberg, who emphasizes effectiveness.
There are some things that he doesn't know how to do, he just feels that there is no need to do that.
Just talking about his meeting with the architectural design team from the United States, he has been very polite and old throughout the process, and he doesn't look like the naughty appearance in front of Bruce and the others.
After the greetings, his first words were, “Gentlemen, the only factor that prevents us from working together now is your asking price…”
When I start the price, I am very skilled.
So sometimes the best way to make a person grow up quickly is to give him the greatest trust. Trust is actually a kind of pressure at this time.
And pressure will force him to burst out with the greatest enthusiasm and enthusiasm, and thus achieve the best results.
In this regard, Lao Ma, who has experienced many failures in entrepreneurship, obviously has more experience.
…………
At 2:30 pm on the fourth day of the lunar calendar, the most reporters from the Lunar New Year were gathered in the banquet hall of the Jiasheng Holiday Hotel in Jiasheng Building on the banks of the Huangpu River.
Originally, Feng Yiping felt that both parties signed the agreement in the conference room, but Lao Ma insisted on holding a ceremony and he was responsible for all the arrangements.
So many reporters who were still on holiday rushed from home.
Although it is mainly local media, this number can be regarded as numerous.
At this time, everyone was talking about what the so-called withdrawal meant. After all, it was the first time that they were a big girl who was in the sedan chair when she attended such a ceremony.
Whether it is clear or not, when Lao Ma appears on the stage with Masayoshi Son, the flash will flash wildly.
For Chinese people, they don’t know about Masayoshi Son. Even if they didn’t know about these invited media, they still know about them now. They will naturally search for relevant information online.
Therefore, everyone knows that this is a legendary figure, and it is rare to have such an opportunity today.
In such an occasion, Lao Ma naturally has to say a few words.
"Today, for me, for Alibaba, it is a very special day. My old friend of Alibaba and I, who gave us great help when we needed it most, formally decided to withdraw their investment from Alibaba."
"Six years ago, I was honored to have the opportunity to shake hands with Mr. Sun. Without his help, Ali and I would not have developed as smoothly as today...."
Because of Masayoshi Son's cooperation, Lao Ma really spared no expense to praise him.
Of course, this may also be a true expression of his emotions.
Later, many people were somewhat unfair about Masayoshi Son's investment in Alibaba, and some of the reasons were because of his nationality.
Such emotions are indeed understandable, but it is actually fair to see from a business perspective that Masayoshi Son gets such a reward.
SoftBank accepts investment applications from 700 companies every year, and in the end, only invests in 70 of them. Masayoshi Son only negotiates with one of them himself. He chose Laoma's Alibaba and decided to invest in Laoma a few minutes after meeting. Such a vision has achieved the high returns later. In fact, from a business perspective, it is really understandable.
When Alibaba was just starting out and many people were not optimistic about it, they quickly decided to invest. After investing, they rarely intervened in related affairs of the company. Such trust is particularly rare.
"Now, when Alibaba enters a new era, Mr. Sun follows our request and withdraws his investment, which further confirms what he said when investing. He invests in us for the sake of our common belief and for Alibaba to develop better,"
The people below who didn't quite understand the various things were then realized that Masayoshi Son was withdrawing from the country to help Ali.
Yes, if not, what ceremony will be held? Generally speaking, only investment, just like Alibaba has accepted Feng Yiping's investment before, then it is necessary to hold a ceremony.
"I have come into contact with many smart people, but Mr. Sun is undoubtedly the most special one. If you want to make a metaphor, he is like Qiao Feng in Mr. Jin Yong's writings, who is wise and stupid, and values love and righteousness."
Such an evaluation can be said to be quite old.
Many domestic entrepreneurs like Jin Yong’s martial arts novels, but he is the only one who likes them so much and never talks about them at work.
"Mr. Sun, Ali and I thank you. We are willing to be friends with you for the rest of our lives," Lao Ma said to Son Masayoshi.
He gestured to Masayoshi Son and gave up the podium.
"Thank you Jack," said Son after he walked to the stage. "It is because I am willing to quit because I am willing to be friends with you for the rest of my life."
Feng Yiping, who was not present, but was always paying attention to the scene, would have the same meaning as the media present. The two elder brothers, since they are so in love, they are hard to part with each other and are in love, why not change the nature of this ceremony now?
"Jack is the only entrepreneur I have come into contact with whom I have a unique leadership temperament, which is the main reason why I decided to invest in him,"
"I also understand his past experiences. At the lowest point, there must be not many people who still insist on their ideals. After falling again and again, there must be not many people who still remain unchanged in their original intentions," he said.
"And Jack is such a person who still adheres to his entrepreneurial ideals at the lowest point and after falling one after another. There is no reason for such a person to fail,"
"If his business starts up this time is not going well due to various objective reasons, I will invest the funds in him without regrets and will continue to support his next attempt," he said.
He praised the old Malay and spared no effort.
"Fortunately, God rewards hard work. This time, Jack has embarked on the road of success. Although withdrawing now will lose a lot of economic benefits for SoftBank, for Jack and for his company to have a better future, we are willing to do this...."
In terms of form and content, this should be a perfect example of venture capital withdrawal.
Most venture capital investors, when a company withdraws before it goes public, will definitely be like a couple divorced, and will most likely make a bad news.
Those media practitioners who have canceled their vacations, or who are still in the New Year model in this country, have decided to go this trip. They all think that this trip is not fake. Such a harmonious breakup scene and the atmosphere of friends having the New Year is really rare.
However, at this time they all noticed such a problem. Both Lao Ma and Masayoshi Son mentioned Alibaba's development and entered a new era when they spoke. It sounded like a big move. Masayoshi Son's withdrawal was to give way for this matter. So, what exactly is this?
Also, as a businessman, why did Masayoshi Son do this?
However, after signing and exchanging the agreements before each, Lao Ma and Masayoshi Son did not accept everyone's questions and left with a smile.
Soon, a reporter from Li Zhixiong, who was far away in the capital, received the news. When he saw that the ceremony was held at the Jiasheng Holiday Hotel, he immediately made a judgment. Could the rumor be true?
