498、If you look ugly, you will be called dad
From getting up in the morning, to ringing the bell, to various interviews, there is almost no time to stop.
But everyone's face was full of energy and not tired at all.
Luo Xiu carefully observed the conversations of those around him. Whether they were media reporters or staff, they could not do without words such as "wealth freedom", "success", "value", "opportunity"...
In the evening, Luo Xiu had a meal with them.
Everyone was getting tired, so they shook hands and said goodbye without much greeting or politeness.
Luo Xiu just exchanged a business card with Sun Zhengyi and made an appointment to meet tomorrow.
…
With Alibaba's listing, Lao Ma's personal net worth has exceeded 140 billion yuan, officially becoming the new richest man.
This is a real asset, not a valuation.
On the domestic Internet, netizens began to shout: Dad Ma.
"I admit it, I am Father Ma's long-lost daughter."
"That young lady upstairs, can I call you wife?"
"There was once an Alibaba Group waiting for me to inherit, but I didn't cherish it. I wanted to build a foundation with my own hands. I regretted it only after I lost it. If God gives me another chance, I will say three things to you.
The word - Daddy Ma!"
"Tomorrow is my 18th birthday. Dad Ma asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I said I wanted a car and a shopping cart."
"Strange, when did I get so many brothers and sisters? Wait, I'll ask my dad."
…
Guan Shiyu looked at these jokes on the Internet and asked Luo Xiu with a smile: "If you become the richest man one day, will you also have a group of illegitimate children?"
"Illegitimate children won't do it, but they will have a bunch of extra wives."
"You dare?" Guan Shiyu glared at Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu said aggrievedly: "I don't dare. Netizens insist on calling me husband, and I can't stop them?"
"Why did I call you husband?" Guan Shiyu didn't believe it.
"Only those who are ugly will be called daddy, and those who are handsome like me will of course be called husband." Luo Xiu replied shamelessly.
"Only girls can call you husband, right? What about boys?"
"You're wrong. Why can't boys call me husband? When can boys stand up?"
"I thought only women would steal my husband from me. Now men want to steal my husband too? It's so hard to guard against!" Guan Shiyu said angrily.
"Then you can do the opposite. When others call me husband, you can call me daddy."
"I don't want it!"
…
The next day, Luo Xiu and Sun Zhengyi made an appointment to have dinner at a French restaurant.
The characteristic of French food is that it is slow. The speed at which food is served is about the same as the speed at which you digest food. Before the next dish is served, the previous dish has been almost digested. It feels like you will never be full.
If only they could hold on to the wall for as long as serving the food.
If two people with nothing in common have a French meal, the whole process will be very boring and awkward.
Of course Luo Xiu and Lao Sun don't exist, nothing to say.
The two talked about everything from the real economy to the Internet, and from the current economic situation to future development.
Some fun events can also be inserted in between.
When people reach a certain level, they will naturally know many secrets that ordinary people do not understand.
Even the top rich people will inevitably talk about some gossip sometimes.
But the levels of gossip are also different.
Rural women will talk about the story of the widow at the head of the village and the old man at the end of the village.
Young people like to surf the Internet, follow the scandals of male and female celebrities, and read 10,000-word long articles about people tearing mistresses apart.
At the end, the two talked about Uber's future development.
Luo Xiu said seriously: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the four major needs in our lives, and no one can live without them. This is the main reason why I invested in Uber. I believe that shared travel is the future trend, and I will always hold this company."
equity in the company.”
The following topics basically revolved around Uber, and Luo Xiu always insisted that Uber's current valuation is only the beginning and is far from the peak.
"I only use Uber when traveling in the United States. I have a car and a driver in China, but recently Uber entered the country and I travel half the time through Uber. I want to show my support for online ride-hailing through practical actions."
Luo Xiu is basically telling lies with open eyes.
In this kind of conversation, we cannot scrutinize whether the content of the speech is true or not, but it depends on what idea the speaker wants to convey.
Many business plans are nonsense, and business stories are made up out of thin air.
Usually when I hear it, I think this thing is too unreliable, but often it can be established.
"I have seen that many European countries are opposed to online ride-hailing. The public's opposition is very loud. It is also in a gray area legally and there is no operating license." Sun raised many questions.
"Any new thing that emerges will encounter great challenges and obstacles, but economic development cannot be stopped. Doesn't Alibaba's model also face great challenges? Americans are still questioning sales until now.
There’s a problem with fakes, but it’s now available in the United States.”
Luo Xiu thought for a while and continued: "We know that Uber is facing many obstacles now, including labor unions and legal issues, but I believe that all these visible problems are minor problems. Instead, we should be grateful that these problems have been solved beforehand.
Surfaced."
The two chatted for a long time until the conversation was over and they shook hands and said goodbye.
During the entire process, Sun did not show the slightest interest in online ride-hailing, and even raised a lot of questions.
Luo Xiu, on the other hand, showed great confidence in online ride-hailing.
Back at the hotel, Guan Shiyu asked in confusion: "Didn't you say you wanted to sell him the shares in Uber? From what you said just now, it seemed like you wanted to keep these shares as family heirlooms."
Luo Xiu smiled and said: "As an early investor in Uber, if I am not optimistic about it myself and look eager to take action, how can others dare to take over? Of course, I have to hold it in my hands like a treasure.
She's afraid of being snatched away by others."
"But Mr. Sun doesn't seem to be very interested."
"If he wasn't interested, he wouldn't have talked to me for so long." Luo Xiu paused and continued, "I used to accompany my mother to the mall to buy clothes, and I would find all kinds of faults with the clothes, saying that the workmanship was not good and the fabric was not good.
, it’s nothing more than trying to bargain.”
"Then if you cover it so tightly, aren't you afraid that he will think you don't want to transfer it and go directly to the founder for financing, or find someone else to buy it?"
“Uber has just raised such a large amount of funds, and it won’t need financing in the short term. And the investors who have recently invested in Uber are all investors like Google who are not short of money. If they want to buy from others, they can’t.
How much equity? Among Uber’s major shareholders, I am the one who is easier to take advantage of.”
After Guan Shiyu heard this, she smiled and said, "How come you men are more mother-in-law than women when we talk about business?"
Chapter completed!
