"Hey, Mr. Lei, I'm Ma Taobao."
"What can I do, Mr. Ma?"
"I heard that the young professor from Tangdu Galaxy Technology has developed several new Technology, do you know it?”
“I still know this. I really don’t know, what, do you have any ideas?”
“I heard that this young professor looked down on my e-commerce platform, and even criticized me publicly, saying that I was working as an intermediary. It’s quite interesting, so I wrote it down.”
"Mr. Ma, let's get down to business!"
"Ahem, Mr. Lei, I know that you have met Professor Wang several times and have a good relationship, so I would like to ask you to be a matchmaker. I want to invite him to dinner.”
“Well, I can try!”
After hanging up the phone, Rebus frowned slightly.
He actually doesn’t have a good relationship with Ma Taobao, and they had some disagreements in a public place before.
However, Ma Taobao is now gaining momentum, and Rebus does not want to offend Ma Taobao for no reason.
It’s just a matter of spreading the word and being the middle person.
Although Rebus also knew that Ma Taobao's purpose of doing this was similar to his own, and he was also interested in Galaxy Technology, and he probably wanted to invest in it and get a piece of the pie.
However, he could not refuse directly. After all, Wang Dong still had to make the decision on this matter.
Thinking about it, Rebus called Wang Donglai and informed him of the matter.
Wang Donglai was a little surprised after receiving the call.
For this Ma Taobao, his senses are quite complicated.
At the beginning of my previous life, I just thought this person was not very good-looking. When Taobao developed in the later period, he became Dad Ma. After the final overturn, he became Capitalist Ma.
Now, after gaining knowledge, Wang Donglai noticed the changes.
After thinking about it, Wang Donglai agreed to the invitation.
Since his rebirth, he has never had any contact with Ma Taobao.
……
Beijing, Guomao Building.
As the core of Beijing’s central business district, the scenery here is also very good.
Looking down from the Guomao Building, you can see the bustling side of the city.
There's lots of traffic and lots of tall buildings.
There are always luxury cars coming and going, and there are so many beautiful women.
At this moment, in a hall with extremely low-key and luxurious decoration, Wang Donglai was sitting on a chair, quietly looking at the book in his hand.
Beside Wang Donglai, Xu Zhibin couldn't sit still. Sometimes he stood up and looked out the window, sometimes at the low-key and luxurious decoration in the hall.
“Donglai, what does the surname Ma mean?”
"Didn't he let Mr. Lei get involved and invite you to dinner, but when the time came, he hadn't arrived yet."
"In my opinion, it could be that Mr. Ma is trying to give you a warning."
Xu Zhibin sat on the chair angrily and said to Wang Donglai.
Hearing Xu Zhibin’s words, Wang Donglai still looked at the book in his hand and said lightly: “It’s not a show of force. I probably just want to create an environment that is beneficial to myself by being late.”< br>
“Ah, since you know, then why...”
Xu Zhibin was a little surprised and couldn't help asking.
"He has a good plan. I have a wall ladder. You will take a good look at it later and learn from it."
Wang Donglai said in a very calm tone without raising his head. .
Xu Zhibin nodded and said nothing more.
At this time.
The door to the hall was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked in with vigorous steps, carrying an extremely confident aura.
Behind this person were several people.
"Professor Wang, I'm really sorry. I just suddenly received a call from the leaders of Guangzhou Province, which delayed a little time and kept you two waiting."
Ma Taobao strode over. , the tone was loud and full of energy, and he explained the reason for being late with a hint of apology.
After hearing Ma Taobao's explanation, Wang Donglai put down the book in his hand and looked at Ma Taobao.
If Wang Donglai hadn't lived in two generations, he might not be able to see this method.
Ma Taobao is destined to be late for this banquet.
The big shot always appears last. This is just a general statement and does not explain the reason clearly.
The purpose of doing this is nothing more than to create a negotiation environment that is conducive to oneself, to take the lead in business activities, and to gain an advantage.
Wang Donglai is sure that Ma Taobao must have arrived early and deliberately left him alone.
Maybe he is still quietly paying attention to himself and sizing himself up from behind.
Setting the dining environment here is actually a small way to show one's financial resources and abilities.
It is estimated that during the chat for a while, someone will accidentally mention how precious the privilege of eating here is, or how precious the food is, etc.
After Taobao went public, Ma Taobao became one of the most visibly wealthy people in the country.
Media from all walks of life are frantically building momentum for Ma Taobao, and countless netizens are pursuing him crazily.
It can be said that Ma Taobao is definitely the most famous celebrity in China.
Right now, when a big shot like Ma Taobao behaves so affectionately and sincerely in front of Wang Donglai, if he were an ordinary person, he would probably burst into tears of gratitude and forget that this is just a It's a normal thing.
The reason for this situation is entirely because the charm of money is too great.
Wang Donglai was well aware of such methods, so he acted very calmly, stretched out his hand to hold it with Ma Taobao, and said: "Mr. Ma has many things to do, and he still invites me to a meal in a place like this. I I should be grateful to Mr. Ma, otherwise, I would be reluctant to spend money. "Here."
Ma Taobao's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately understood that Wang Donglai had seen through his little tricks. His expression was still very enthusiastic and he said: "Professor Wang is too polite. Compared with the opportunity to communicate with Professor Wang, even if it is No matter how busy I am, I will put it down.”
"The owner of this private restaurant is a third-generation royal chef, and his craftsmanship is truly unparalleled. In order to entertain Professor Wang today and avoid being disturbed, I reserved the place here. Today I am also arty and have a bit of knowledge around Professor Wang. . ”
“Mr. Ma, you’re welcome. Let’s take advantage of Mr. Ma’s skills today. ”
"Professor Wang is welcome. If you like this bite, I also know many private dishes prepared by chefs. The taste is first-class. I will take Professor Wang to eat them one by one later."
"For a company as big as Mr. Ma, I don't dare to affect Mr. Ma's business. I just want to learn a lot today."
After going back and forth, the two of them immediately started chatting.
After these two conversations, both of them had a rough impression of each other. Old fox!
Little fox!
The two of them spoke with tact, and it can be said that every word has a deep meaning.
Xu Zhibin, who was sitting aside, followed Wang Donglai’s instructions just now. He sat seriously, raised his ears, listened to the conversation between the two, and pondered in his heart.
After sitting down, Ma Taobao showed his ability to speak eloquently.
The content of the chat was varied. One moment they talked about the royal kitchen’s private kitchen, another moment they talked about agricultural safety, another moment they talked about the pre-made dish mode, and so on.
For these topics, if it were an ordinary professor or someone of the same age, they might not be able to handle them.
Because this is Ma Taobao's life experience over the years and the insights he has gained after being in a high position.
Without this experience and insight, it would naturally be difficult to answer the question.
However, Wang Donglai was not among them.
On the contrary, if we continue the conversation in depth, Wang Donglai will know more and more profound things than Ma Taobao.
"Professor Wang is indeed a young man. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but he dares to challenge a horse and a penguin."
"There is no way, the situation in China is like this, we can't let the penguin and horse enter If you have entered this track, you can’t let others enter. Young people must be energetic. How can you be called a young person if you are not energetic?”
“Professor Wang is powerful and domineering!”
"Mr. Ma is being polite. Compared to what Mr. Ma shouted, if the bank doesn't change, I will change the bank. My point is nothing."
"There are talented people in every generation. I'm old now, and the Internet will be yours in the future. In this world of young people, I am very optimistic about Professor Wang’s future development!”
“Mr. Ma is only fifty-one years old, and he is not even old enough to receive a pension. How can he be considered old? According to me! Look, it’s just a sword that’s not old yet. Your company is in danger. Under the general leadership, there is still a lot of room for development.”
“In my opinion, Professor Wang has a real future. He can not only prove the world’s mathematical problems, but also create something like Galaxy Technology. A company with great potential, I think among the younger generation, Professor Wang is definitely the number one person.”
“I don’t care much about whether the number one person is not the number one person. The results are not a waste of my energy.”
"Some time ago, your company's patents with Samsung and Apple really made the Chinese people sigh hard and it was very satisfying. But if it is so stiff, aren't you worried that it will affect your company's business abroad? ?”
“There are seven billion people in the world, and there is a domestic market of 1.4 billion, excluding the backward ones. Heizhou Ni Ge, the market we occupy is no exaggeration to say that we occupy one-third of the global market. If we blindly think about opening up overseas markets, we might as well find ways to cultivate the domestic market. When the domestic market rises, we will be the mainstream. , let them cooperate with us, then we can make money.”
Hearing this, Ma Taobao laughed inwardly.
He has seen the development overseas and knows the gap between domestic and foreign countries.
So, in his ears, Wang Donglai's answer seemed particularly ridiculous.
Considering that Wang Donglai is still a young man and has not been abroad a few times, he has naturally never seen or appreciated overseas development. It is not surprising to have such an understanding.
After gradually knowing what he was doing, Ma Taobao became more and more calm and confident.
Have long and eloquent conversations.
At this moment, the food was finally served.
When the first dish was served, Ma Taobao introduced it to Wang Donglai and said: "This is a white truffle from the Piedmont region in northern Italy. It only grows in this place and is known as a truffle." The Grand Duke cannot be artificially bred yet, and because it grows in the soil near the roots of trees, it is extremely difficult to find. Specially trained hunting dogs are usually used to find it. Its taste is also worthy of its price. Try it quickly.”
Wang Donglai had already anticipated this scene, and he had guessed that such a situation would occur.
If it weren’t for being in China, maybe Ma Taobao would come up with more exciting and shocking things, such as bear paws, tiger roots, etc.
"Mr. Ma is very generous. Today I will take advantage of it and taste the difference of these top ingredients."
As he said that, Wang Donglai took away half of it with chopsticks. white truffle.
Xu Zhibin was not far behind, and took away the other half with another chopstick.
Ma Taobao: "..."
The second dish will be served immediately.
Ma Taobao calmed down and continued to introduce: "This is a piece of Iberian ham made in Jabugo village specially given to me by a Spanish nobleman I met. Today I will give it to you. Bring it over and let Professor Wang try it.”
Wang Donglai had a smile on his face. After listening to the introduction, he took it. He picked up a few pieces with chopsticks, put them in his mouth, chewed them and swallowed them, nodded and said: "Well, it's really good, it has a meaty taste, it's pure pork!"
Xu Zhibin also He picked up a pair of chopsticks, smacked his lips and said, "It tastes good, it's great for rice. I think I can eat three bowls of rice with just this."
Ma Taobao's eyes twitched when he heard this. Originally, he brought out these top-notch ingredients to show his abilities and give Wang Donglai, a young man who suddenly got rich, a bit of a wealthy man's shock.
So that you can have the upper hand and benefit from subsequent negotiations.
Unexpectedly, Wang Donglai’s reaction was unexpected.
The effect I originally envisioned did not work at all. Instead, I became a waiter who specialized in introducing ingredients.
Wait until the third dish is served.
Ma Taobao was not going to introduce the ingredients anymore, but Wang Dong came and asked.
"Mr. Ma, please introduce me, why is this shrimp blue?"
Ma Taobao glanced at the lobster on the table and said: "This It’s the Butanian blue lobster from Gaul, Compared with other lobsters, its growth period is slow. It takes an average of seven years and molts 30 to 35 times before it can grow to 12 inches and weigh two pounds. It is half as slow as the Boston lobster. If you want to eat it, If it’s fresh, you have to fly Fly directly from Gaul to China and keep it in the refrigerator for no more than seven days, otherwise the taste will be greatly reduced.”
“I also wanted to entertain Professor Wang, so I made a call. , specially transferred from Xiangjiang The freshest ones were just caught from Gaul yesterday."
Wang Donglai had a look of admiration on his face and said, "Mr. Ma is really generous. Today is not in vain, and I will have something to talk about in the future. ”
"Zhibin, today we have to thank Mr. Ma. Otherwise, we will not be able to eat such good food!"
Xu Zhibin raised his head and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Mr. Ma." Treat!”
After saying that, he immersed himself in eating again.
Seeing this scene, Ma Taobao didn't know that his little tricks had been seen through.
Fortunately, I thought that Wang Donglai was young, engaged in academic work in school, did not know how to socialize, and was a nerd who only studied.
As a result, he became a clown instead.
After thinking about it in his mind, Ma Taobao adjusted his mentality and said nothing more.
As a result, when the next Caspian Sea Pearl Sturgeon Caviar was served, Wang Donglai asked Ma Taobao to introduce it again.
Ma Taobao smiled bitterly, with a hint of self-mockery, and said: "Professor Wang, let's eat first, and then talk about it slowly after eating. They are all worthless things."
See this. , a smile appeared on Wang Donglai's face, and he put down the chopsticks in his hand.
"Mr. Ma, thank you very much for your hospitality today. You are hosting the restaurant, and you are entertaining us with these top-notch ingredients. I feel a bit sorry."
"So, we Mingren will not tell secrets."< br>
“Galaxy Technology Company’s I will not release the shares, but the subsidiaries below can release the shares. If Mr. Ma is interested, I can make the decision. I will give Mr. Ma 4% of the shares for 5 billion. "
Hear. When Wang Donglai said this, Ma Taobao's face suddenly changed.
In an instant, it seemed as if the atmosphere in the hall had changed.
Putting down his chopsticks gently, Ma Taobao said calmly: "Professor Wang, five billion, four percent of the shares are only the shares of a subsidiary of Galaxy Technology. This joke is a bit too big." (This chapter) End)
