Chapter 173 E-commerce Tycoon Ma Den
Twenty years ago, business figures represented by Hong Kong Li Jiacheng, Ho Ying-Tong and others were widely praised by the people and regarded as business leaders; ten years ago, mainland businessmen represented by Haier Zhang Ruimin and Lenovo Liu Chuanzhi became the second generation of business leaders; now, Alibaba, Tencent and the three Internet companies, along with each other, were joined by Alibaba. Three years later, when Alibaba was listed on the New York Stock Exchange created a myth of a market value of US$300 billion, Ma Yidang became the leader of Chinese entrepreneurs without any dispute.
At this time, Ma Yi had already become a business leader. When he saw that when he came, more than 100 shareholders of Huayi stood up and applauded and welcomed him.
In such a place where entrepreneurs gather, the star halo of Wang Xu, Feng Xiaogang and others is not conspicuous. Business legends like Ma Yi are the big stars in the minds of entrepreneurs.
Wang Xu finally saw the living Little Ma Brother with his own eyes. He saw that Little Ma Brother today was wearing a casual dress, a wool sweater with jeans.
When Wang Xu was still thinking about how to get to know Brother Xiao Ma, he came by himself. It turned out that Brother Xiao Ma and Feng Xiaogang were very familiar friends, so Wang Xu took this opportunity to get to know this legendary figure.
"Hey, you're a gamble... Saint, hello, hello, I'm Ma Yi."
"Brother Ma, hello, I am actor Wang Xu."
"Good luck!"
The two shook hands, and Wang Xu was a little surprised that Little Ma had watched his "Gambling Man". Judging from his friendly attitude towards him, he really liked it.
Actually, it is not surprising that although Ma Yi is a super big boss in the business world with a wealth of hundreds of billions of yuan, he also has the hobbies of ordinary people. Wang Xu knew that he likes movies, Tai Chi and martial arts novels.
Ma Yi particularly likes Jin Yong's martial arts novels. Alibaba has a strong martial arts culture. The conference room is named after the martial arts holy land of Jin Yong's novels: Taohua Island, Guangmingding, Heimu Cliff, etc. The names given by Alibaba employees are such as Temujin, Guo Jing, Su Quan...all from positive characters in martial arts or fantasy novels. Jack Ma's own flower name is "Feng Qingyang", the successor of Dugu Jiujian in "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer", and the shepherd of the world who is better than a move.
Don’t forget that Wang Xu is also a fan of martial arts novels.
It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that a big star would like to read martial arts novels. Shouldn’t you read Zhang Ailing and Mo Yan’s books? Like a big entrepreneur would like to read martial arts novels, shouldn’t you read Dream of the Red Chamber, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, etc.?
The biggest hobbies of a star and an entrepreneur are martial arts novels, and the two sat together and chatted. Almost soon, Wang Xu and Ma Yi felt that they had met too late. The two had already abandoned the others and talked about Jin Yong's novels.
The topics of the two involved all aspects of Jin Yong's novels, such as who is the number one master in Jin Yong's novels, Wang Xu believes that Dongfang Bubai, and Ma Yi believes that he is an unknown old monk.
Both of them have their own reasons, their own insistence, and they even argued. It felt a bit funny to see the two famous people arguing about such meaningless things. They didn't know that Wang Xu and Ma Yi were happy. They didn't want each other to accept their views, but they had read novels for so many years and urgently needed someone to talk to.
From who is the best master in the world, I talked about my favorite novel characters.
Linghu Cong is free and unruly, almost perfect hero Qiao Feng, and the silly and cute Guo Jing. Speaking of which, Wang Xu is different from Ma Yi again. His favorite is Dongfang Bubai and Wei Xiaobao.
"I admit that my favorite character in Dongfang Bubai was influenced by Lin Qingxia's movies, so I won't talk about this for now. My favorite character in the novel is Wei Xiaobao."
"Wei Xiaobao? Yes, he has seven wives."
"Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm not because he has seven wives. Don't underestimate Wei Xiaobao, a popular man."
"Oh, then tell me what kind of person Wei Xiaobao is?"
Ma Yi became interested, and Wang Xu smiled and said, "Wei Xiaobao is ignorant, has low martial arts skills, is greedy for money and loves sex. Heroes, tall and perfect words are not a good person, but he is just such a poor person. A little man from a trait has done something that even a hero like Qiao Feng cannot do. If you don't believe it, I'll tell you carefully."
Wei Xiaobao was between the emperor and his master Chen Jinnan. He neither killed the master for the sake of the emperor nor the emperor for the sake of the master.
He was loyal to Kangxi. No matter which gang or hero wanted to assassinate Kangxi, Wei Xiaobao tried his best to stop him and sacrificed his life to save him. He was also righteous to the brothers of the Tiandihui and Tiandihui. Even though Kangxi issued an imperial edict to send Wei Xiaobao to wipe out the Tiandihui, Wei Xiaobao disobeyed the imperial edict and ignored life and death. He achieved the word "loyalty and righteousness".
Wei Xiaobao was promoted and wealthy. After marrying a wife and having children, he still returned to Lichunyuan to serve and support his mother. The so-called heroes are not afraid of being of low birth, but Wei Xiaobao never regards himself as a hero. It is precisely because he does not have a personality to be greedy for fame that he has achieved the word "filial piety".
Since ancient times, there have been sayings that "loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve both" and "loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve both". However, Wei Xiaobao has taken into account both "loyalty and filial piety and righteousness". Compared with Qiao Feng's tragic suicide, the reason is that he cannot achieve both loyalty and righteousness.
"It's OK!" Ma Ji agreed with Wang Xu's point of view.
Wang Xu smiled and said, "Brother Ma, I heard that you have met Mr. Jin Yong before?"
"Yes, that's 2000."
Ma Yi shared this unforgettable memory with Wang Xu. When he met Mr. Jin Yong, he was "excited for a few days, went out to buy his book, and was excited to look forward to meeting and signing." After meeting Mr. Jin Yong himself, the two became friends after talking for 3 hours. Finally, Jin Yong presented them to Jack Ma with the horoscope of "I regretted that we met too late, but we fell in love with each other at first sight."
"Sledgehammer, do you know that I made a very embarrassing thing at that time?"
"What?"
"Didn't I buy a book by Mr. I found out when the teacher signed the book I bought was pirated, which is so embarrassing."
"I'll go, then you're really embarrassed?"
"Isn't that true?"
Ma Yi still remembers this experience fresh. He sighed: "So many years have passed, and the old man is over 80 years old. I still like the old man and still like his works as much as my child. I will definitely meet the old man again this year."
Wang Xu hurriedly said, "I also want to see Mr. Jin Yong. I have a movie script adapted from "The Deer and the Cauldron". I want to purchase the adaptation rights from Mr. Wang. By the way, please give me some advice. Brother Ma, why are you going to see Mr. Jin Yong and bring me with me!"
"Oh, you said you want to adapt the movie version of "The Deer and the Cauldron"?" There are several versions of the TV version of "The Deer and the Cauldron", but the movie version has not yet, and Ma Yi immediately became interested.
"Yes, my plan for the second half of the year is the movie version of "The Deer and the Cauldron".
"That's OK, I'm looking forward to playing Wei Xiaobao. I plan to visit the old man during the Spring Festival and I'll notify you at that time."
"That word is determined." (To be continued)
