Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1109 – Ma Yun asking for advice

Ma Yun returned to the Summit to continue to listen to the discussion on the Internet’s future. But he realized he could not concentrate like the morning. He kept thinking about what Feng Yu said.

Feng Yu’s offer is too attractive, and Ma Yun is tempted.

Ma Yun took out his Aiwa mobile phone and sent two SMS to Zhong Qingxian and Liu Chuanzhi. He wants to meet them to discuss the future of Alibaba after the event.

Zhong Qingxian and Liu Chuanzhi were puzzled after receiving Ma Yun’s SMS. Did something happen at Alibaba? Zhong Qingxian was only able to take a look and walk out of the hall after receiving the SMS. On his way out, he saw Ma Yun, and they walked out together.

“Old Ma, what do you want to discuss?” Zhong Qingxian asked curiously.

“Chairman Zhong, are you close with Feng Yu, Manager Feng?”

Zhong Qingxing frowned. “Yes. Lehaha can grow to today’s scale is all because of Manager Feng. You want to know Manager Feng?”

“I guess I have already known him in Sun Lijie, Manager Sun’s office.”

“Sun Lijie? He is the Chairman of Tai Hua Consulting, a company set up by Manager Feng to invest in Chinese companies. When did you meet Manager Feng?” Zhong Qingxian nodded.

“Just now.”

“Just now? Manager Feng is also here at this Summit? Wait... you said you met Manager Feng in Sun Lijie’s office earlier? Did Alibaba run out of funds again?” Zhong Qingxian frowned.

Internet companies are spending money too fast. Old Liu had just invested tens of millions, and Alibaba had finished spending everything? Old Ma had promised Zhong Qingxian that the company will breakeven next year.

“No. It’s not we have run out of funds. It’s Manager Feng who approached me and wants to invest in Alibaba.” Ma Yun recalls how he was pinned down by the security guards earlier.

Zhong Qingxian relaxed after hearing what Ma Yun said. “Really?! That’s terrific! Now, I am confident that Alibaba will be making high profits in the future.”

Ma Yun almost rolled his eyes. You had invested so much money with us, and you still don’t believe Alibaba can make money?!

But Ma Yun figured out Zhong Qingxian’s underlying statement. Feng Yu wants to invest in Alibaba, and Zhong Qingxian immediately believes the company will make high profits in the future?! This shows how much trust Zhong Qingxian has in Feng Yu.

“Chairman Zhong, what do you mean?”

“I don’t know if you believe what the newspaper, magazines, internet, etc. wrote. Manager Feng had never lost a single cent in his investments. But I believe it. I have known Manager Feng for many years, and I had never seen him lose money in his investments. Sometimes, when I see that his investment is about to lose money, but he will end up making high profits in the end.” Zhong Qingxian replied with a respectful expression.

It’s hard for Ma Yun to believe this. Even Zhong Qingxian is impressed with Manager Feng. Are all these rumors about Manager Feng true?

“Oh, did Manager Feng mention how is he going to invest? I believe his offer will be too attractive for you to reject, right?”

Ma Yun looks at Zhong Qingxian in shock. How did he know about Feng Yu’s offer?

“Hahaha... don’t give me this surprised look. This is because Manager Feng will always make offers that are too attractive for others to resist. Let me guess. He will not interfere with the company’s operations and decisions and let you continue to be the company’s Chairman. If anyone opposes, he will support you. Am I right?”

“Is he always like this?” Ma Yun asked.

“Most of the time, he is like this. He seldom manages his companies himself and would rather give away some of his shares for someone else to manage. He had graduated from Beijing University in Management. He had even spent one year at Hong Kong University as an exchange student. His management skills should not be bad, but he always says he is lazy and has no time. But he spends most of his time traveling overseas to invest. He is more energetic than us.” Zhong Qingxian laughed.

“Did he really never interfere in his companies before?” Ma Yun asked. This is very important to him.

“He occasionally does. For example, Feng Yu has more shares in Lehaha than me, and other than a finance staff, the rest of the management staff are appointed by me. But he is the one who makes the final call when Lehaha went into the overseas market. He is also the one who made that possible. In fact, I wish he would interfere with my company’s operations. Every time he gave me suggestions, my company will take a giant step forward.”

Ma Yun is speechless. Zhong Qingxian is the CEO of Tai Hua Holdings, and he has to speak up for Feng Yu.

Hmmm... I will ask Liu Chuanzhi later and see if both men are saying the same thing.

After a while, Liu Chuanzhi walks out of the hall. He saw Zhong Qingxian leaving, and he waited for a while until no one notices him before leaving through a side door.

“Old Zhong, Old Ma, why are you two standing here?” Liu Chuanzhi walks over.

Zhong Qingxian laughed and said. “You should ask Old Ma. Anyway, I think this is not a bad thing.”

Liu Chuanzhi looks at Ma Yun, and Ma Yun told him that Feng Yu wants to invest in Alibaba. He needs to seek his opinion.

Liu Chuanzhi looks at Zhong Qingxian and then tells Ma Yun. “Old Zhong should have told you about Manager Feng, right? If Manager Feng wants to invest in your company, that means he thinks highly of it. Also, Manager Feng’s investment will never lose money. What’s wrong? Are you hesitating if you should agree to Manager Feng?”

Ma Yun heard what Liu Chuanzhi said and is convinced. action

Lehaha’s decision-maker is Zhong Qingxian, and Liu Chuanzhi is Lenovo’s group decision-maker. If Feng Yu’s assets were not exposed two years ago, he still does not know Feng Yu owns these enterprises’ shares.

But why is Feng Yu so secretive? Isn’t it better for him to be open about his assets?

“Old Zhong, let’s go to your office to discuss.” Liu Chuanzhi laughed and said.

This is the Wind and Rain building and is under Tai Hua Holdings. As the CEO of Tai Hua Holdings, how can he doesn’t have an office in this building?

But Zhong Qingxian is similar to Feng Yu. He does have an office here, but it is not big. Most of the time, he is not in his office and is always in Lehaha’s Beijing branch office.

The three discussed in Zhong Qingxian’s office for a long time, and they agreed to let Feng Yu invest. But they still have to settle on the details.

When the three of them are discussing, Zhou Kexin is listening to Ma Huateng speaking on the stage. His company’s QQ will change the way people communicate.

Zhou Kexin listened to this person talk about the features of QQ and is very interested. She decides to register for a QQ account, and maybe she can get to speak to some random strangers and forget about her penpal.
