Chapter 2508 This Time 20 Million Is Not Enough

The development of Internet e-commerce has gone through several stages. At the beginning, Alibaba mainly engaged in domestic wholesale trade, which is perfectly integrated with the resources of Yiwu Chamber of Commerce. Ma Yun chose Hangzhou as the place to start the company not only because it is His hometown, and his experience of carrying sacks to Yiwu to wholesale commodities must have left a deep impression on him.

So Shen Long showed the advantages of Yiwu Chamber of Commerce a little bit, and Ma Yun knew that she either chose to cooperate with Shen Long, or she could only wait to be squeezed to death by Shen Long.

"Now I can use 50 million yuan as the company's first start-up capital, and if there is still a need, I will continue to invest more! This money will be used for the company to rent offices, recruit talents, purchase computers, servers and other necessary The working equipment, as well as publicity and promotion, TV, print media and the Internet must carry out large-scale network promotion, so as to make our company's name famous in the shortest time! What do you think?" Shen Long asked.

"It doesn't seem like you need so much money at first, right?" Ma Yun was a little confused. Shen Long's generosity was completely beyond his expectations. , Zhang Huhu, who is ranked 50th, has total assets of only 50 million to 100 million. Although Shen Long's name does not appear on the list, he can easily come up with 50 million working capital. It shows that his total assets must be far more than 50 million.

More money is of course convenient for me to make the company bigger as soon as possible, but in this way, my own shares in the company will be much less. Ma Yun can't spend much money now, even if she uses resources and technology to invest in shares, in front of 50 million , he is also embarrassed to ask for too many shares, so how much should he take?

"How much do you think the first fund should be?" Shen Long asked. In the original history, Ma Yun raised 5 million US dollars from several investment institutions this year, and received 20 million US dollars from Sun Zhengyi next year. He is now It's not too much to take out 50 million in one breath, but those companies were only contacted after Ma Yun started her business, and she didn't get too many shares after spending so much money.

It's different now. If the accountant is really asked to carefully calculate the investment ratio of both parties, Ma Yun may only account for a small proportion and become a part-time job for Shen Long.

After struggling for a while, Ma Yun still gave up a large amount of shares and accepted Shen Long's capital injection. He never thought that he would become the richest man in China in the future, and he really couldn't do without Shen Long's support if he wanted to engage in e-commerce. , No way, the situation is stronger than people!

Shen Long wasn't worried that he would go back on his word in the future, Ma Yun could do Alipay or something, and he could also get Qiu Yingjie's support to do it himself, so the two sides prepared to sign a contract.

"By the way, what do you plan to call this new company?" Before signing the contract, there was one more thing to decide.

"It's called Alibaba!" Ma Yun thought about it a long time ago, "Most of us Chinese know the story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves. I asked many people in the United States, and they also know that this name is well-known and has a It is international and convenient for publicity and promotion; at the same time, Alibaba also symbolizes wealth, and I want this company to become an incubation base for wealth; in addition, the initial letter of Alibaba is A, and our company must become the number one company in the world... ..."

Ma Yunbalabala said a lot, and Shen Long nodded, "Okay, then it will be called Alibaba." Then he signed his name on the contract and took most of Alibaba's shares, "I will handle the daily affairs of the company." If you don’t plan to intervene, it’s up to you to make the decision, and if there are problems with grand strategy, the two of us will discuss it later.”

This is why Ma Yun is willing to sign the contract,

In this way, he looked like a boss, not a part-time worker; after the contract was signed, he quickly rented an office building near the Yiwu Chamber of Commerce, started to build a website, and contacted merchants to settle in. Shen Long also gave a lot of cooperation. A large number of Yiwu businessmen settled in the Alibaba website.

At the same time, let Yiwu Small Commodity City and logistics companies in various places cooperate with Alibaba's work. In this way, if a wholesaler in the southwest wants to buy their products, there is no need to ship from Yiwu, and Chengdu Small Commodity City will have enough supply. Selling to the other party greatly saves the time of logistics and transportation.

At the same time, TV, print media, and online advertisements were widely spread, and the word Alibaba became a hot spot for merchants across the country. Many people curiously entered Internet cafes, registered Alibaba accounts, found the products they wanted on it, and then I tried to send a small amount of money, but I got the sample soon.

The quality of these samples is good and the price is low, which is much better than what they originally sold. They immediately saw the business opportunity and began to buy and sell in large quantities. The transaction volume of the Alibaba website is increasing month by month. A few fractions are growing slowly, almost turning over and rising exponentially.

This phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of many Internet practitioners and venture capital companies. Cai Chongxin, president of the Asia region of the Swedish Investor AB venture capital department, flew to Hangzhou to visit Ma Yun’s company. After talking with Shen Long, this guy gave up his annual salary of 700,000 US dollars and wanted to work at Alibaba.

Ma Yun was a little dazed, I know I'm good at fooling around, but it's not enough to make people accept me, right? But he really wanted this person to join, because he is familiar with the corporate structure of large international companies, which is very helpful for Ali's growth. He looked at Shen Long, and Shen Long smiled, "Only a big man like Mr. Cai is willing to join. , we are naturally happy, but now that the company is still in its inception period, I am afraid that it cannot give you a high salary, at most it can only give you an annual salary of 500,000!"

Giving 500 yuan a month is too stingy, I will give you 500,000 yuan, but if this is the case, your shares will definitely be less, Cai Chongxin silently calculated an account, even if you only take a small amount of shares, it is better than yourself Now this job has a future, so I agreed to it, and quickly completed the resignation procedures, and came to Hangzhou to help Ma Yun adjust the company structure and formulate company rules and regulations.

Because of Shen Long's 50 million yuan, Ali is not short of money now, and Cai Chongxin did not introduce Goldman Sachs' investment institutions. Instead, he rejected many venture capital companies when they approached them.

Until Sun Zhengyi came to the door in person and proposed to invest in Ali. At this time, Sun Zhengyi made billions of dollars because of the shares in Yahoo. Naturally, they did not dare to neglect such a big boss and immediately notified Shen Long.

Shen Long laughed after hearing this, 20 million won't do it this time.
