Chapter 1222: No Shortage of Money

Amanda, who was chubby in a white sweatshirt and a red hat, and Candy, who was wearing a bright yellow sweater, ran tirelessly between the two villas. In this season of freezing hands, her little face I was actually sweating.

Huang Jingping came out of the kitchen to take a look from time to time, but did not interfere.

Huang Qinping, who was standing at the gate with the TV remote control, looked at the two villas next to each other, thinking about what she saw, and really worried about her sister.

Do you have glaucoma or cataracts? How can you not see something so obvious?

She was a little confused. Should she mention this to Huang Jingping? If I mentioned it, would I be that typical tongue-tied woman?

This sister seems to be really happy in her life. If she mentions it, is it just troublesome?

But don't mention it, alas, she is really worried.

Huang Jingping, Huang Jingping, when can you make me feel less worried? Huang Qinping, a girl in her third year of high school, thought as she looked at her sister who was already the mother of a little girl.

There was a joyous scene at home. Feng Zhenchang was already rosy even before he drank. Mei Qiuping's voice was also very high-pitched, "We will go out to see the ones tomorrow, specifically those in good locations and expensive prices." ,"

Today, the two of them were not idle. They took a good look at the houses they bought in Shanghai in the past few years. When the agent asked about the current price, oh my god, they were so happy!

It has increased so much this year!

The son has his son's pursuit, and now the business is worth tens of billions. The old couple has the old couple's hobby. Counting the millions they invested at the beginning, it has now turned into tens of millions. They are happy from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's a good thing I didn't listen to you and put the money in the bank to earn dead interest," Mei Qiuping said.

In fact, why didn't she have such thoughts at that time?

Thinking back to the time when she finally paid off all her foreign debts, especially the bank loans that had been rolled over for several years with compound interest, and money kept coming in every month, she actually thought about opening an account at a credit union. , I save tens of thousands every month and feel proud.

This kind of impulse is actually quite common, and most people who make regular mortgage payments every month will have it.

But later on, the momentum of making money was too strong, especially after the scale of the noodle shop in the provincial capital stabilized, and the annual profits were in the millions, and there was no need to pay dividends to the sons and daughters. It was naturally inappropriate to put so much money in the rural credit cooperatives, so we simply Quan bought a house. Looking at it now, the original decision was really the right one.

"In total, it is really more profitable than running a factory," Feng Zhenchang said.

"How can it be the same?" Mei Jianzhong said immediately, "The factories in the villages and towns have improved the lives of many families? When you buy a house, can you improve their lives?"

Although the old man is getting older, he sees some issues more clearly.

"We all know, isn't this just talk,"

"It smells so good. What delicious food have you made?" Feng Yiping walked in with his daughter in his arms, "Hey, are you so happy? What's the good thing?"

Mei Qiuping glanced at Huang Jingping approvingly. She was really a sensible and good girl. She should tell her son in person about such things.

"Your dad and I went to see the houses we bought today. Haha, do you know how much they have gone up?"

"How much?" Feng Yiping asked jokingly.

"The best one has increased by nearly 30% this year,"

"That's really good. Do you want to buy a few more units this year? I estimate the price will increase even more this year,"

Housing prices in Shanghai are divided by location. The mid-priced housing near the outer ring road is around 3,500, the mid-priced housing near the inner ring is around 5,000, and the central city is 7,000-8,000; Xujiahui, Hongkou Park, Jing'an Temple, Hongqiao, Dapu The housing prices in central commercial and high-end residential areas such as Qiaoqiao, Little Lujiazui, Century Park, etc. are already not cheap, but they have just exceeded 15,000...

Feng Yiping is trying not to pay attention to these data now. Otherwise, as a former house slave, it will be really difficult for him to control the ancient strength of his physical strength. Who knows, one day he will run into a sales department and sit on the sand table. "This building, this building, and this building, I want them all, in cash!"

"That's what we plan to do as well. Let's go have a good time tomorrow."

"Since you are making so much money, why not just buy a few buildings? Or, brother-in-law, why don't you buy a piece of land and build your own?" Huang Qinping said.

Huang Jingping immediately hit her on the head, "What do you know?"

"Qinping, you're right, that would make money, but that would be meaningless," Feng Zhenchang also specifically explained to her.

They are just enjoying this process now, mainly to see if their vision of choosing a house is accurate. How can they really want to make money by hoarding houses?

"Not interesting?" Huang Qinping was very puzzled.

Maybe it's the same as my previous struggles, all because I don't understand some things?

Oh my, your adults' world is so complicated.

…………

They are happy here, but the Alibaba founding team in Hangzhou was very depressed that night, and there was a sense of gloom in the conference room.

After listening to Mr. Ma's introduction to Goldman Sachs's withdrawal, everyone was as silent as when he first heard the news.

They knew exactly what Goldman Sachs' behavior meant.

One's own efforts, one's own hard work, one's own pursuit... are not recognized. This is undoubtedly a very depressing thing.

And Goldman Sachs chose to get out of the car at this time.

You must know that the company's third round of financing has been put on the agenda.

Just like the second round of financing, if you don’t participate, that’s fine, or if you wait until the third round of financing before exiting, that’s fine too.

Why are you so uncooperative?

And he chose to quit at the beginning of the new year in a very unkind way. Although I don’t believe in omens, this kind of behavior will inevitably make people feel more depressed.

However, the dozen or so people who have survived until now have some self-cultivation, and like the richest man Ma, they did not say anything extreme or unhelpful.

"Don't be discouraged." Seeing that the pressure was a little low, Ma stood up and said as he walked, "Goldman Sachs did not participate in the second round of financing, but other companies have great confidence in us, including SoftBank, which later participated. ,"

"So Goldman Sachs' withdrawal will not have a decisive impact on our subsequent investments," he said to reassure everyone.

"We should also build a company. We should be grateful to Goldman Sachs, who chose to invest in us in the first round. It can be said that without his investment, we would not be where we are today,"

"At the same time, cooperation has been intermittent, which is actually normal. The time is not right now, but maybe there will be a suitable time in the future?"

"So today we have to unify our voices. Goldman Sachs was our first employee and the person who helped us."

"The best way for us to respond is to work harder and make our company better and better,"

However, this kind of agitation method is obviously a bit bitter, and everyone's mood is still generally not high.

"We'd better do this. If you ignore me today, I will make it impossible for you to reach high in the future."

"Oh," everyone shouted.

So, no matter how well-mannered you are, if you are still so arrogant in the face of such a thing, it sounds relieved.

"Another good news is that the person who took over Goldman Sachs is an acquaintance that we all know. Well, today's Shanghai news also talked about him." He was transferred to the Shanghai station, which happened to be broadcasting Feng Yiping's death. % reporter and the mayor met with the news.

"Yes, that's our richest man Feng,"

"Is it him?" "Feng Yiping?"

After hearing the news, some were excited and some were skeptical.

The exciting thing is that since Feng Yiping is willing to take over, it means that he recognizes Ali.

The question is, can Feng Yiping really understand what we are doing? What he is most passionate about now is various physical stores, and everyone is a bit like a natural enemy.

"Everyone also knows that in China and the United States, the high-tech company of our richest man Feng is developing quite well. At least he is not an outsider. This is always good,"

"I don't know what's going on. Is it because Feng, the richest man, doesn't take this kind of investment seriously? So far, he hasn't even called me," Ma said.

"But sooner or later we have to meet. Some things need to be made clear sooner or later. It just so happens that he just arrived in Shanghai today. I wonder if I should take the initiative to meet him. So what should we talk about during this meeting and how should we talk about it? Please tell me. Help me think about it,"

Because it takes a long time to attract investment, they can be very comfortable when facing venture capital.

However, Feng Yiping is not an ordinary venture capital investor. Many of his original strategies must now be adjusted.

"Come on, come on, let's think about it,"

Maybe they didn't realize that they took this young man who they didn't really recognize so seriously.

…………

As expected, Feng Yiping, who was in Shanghai, received a call from the richest man Ma, and after making an appointment to meet, he looked at the building outside the window and the Huangpu River flowing downstairs. Feng Yiping felt quite proud.

This was someone who I could only look up to in my past. Now, he takes the initiative to visit me. It seems okay to be proud of it.

…………

"Mr. Ma, everyone, this is our Yi Ping, Yi Ping, this is Mr. Ma," Jin Ling, who was welcoming the guests, helped introduce.

"Haha, hello Mr. Ma," Feng Yiping grabbed the hand of the future richest man Ma very enthusiastically and shook it hard.

Seeing Feng Yiping looking at him with eyes shining brightly, Ma Qingfu was really not used to it, "Mr. Feng, I've admired you for a long time,"

He took a look at the office. It was a bit luxurious, but not too much. It still looked like a business.

"Everyone, please take a seat," Feng Yiping invited everyone to sit down. "Mr. Ma, do you think this is a coincidence? Not long ago, Vice Minister Ma of the Ministry of Commerce told me when he was in the United States that I must meet you. No. I once thought that we have met now and are chatting happily,"

"Oh, I remember. Vice Minister Ma told me that he would introduce someone to me. So that person is you?" The richest man, Ma, was really surprised.

It turned out that the young man that Vice Minister Ma was talking about was him.

"Yes, it should be you," I am really slow. Apart from Feng Yiping, who else is the most popular businessman these days?

"Vice Minister Ma said that talking to you will definitely benefit me a lot, so we must have a good talk today," Feng Yiping said.

"Of course, first of all, I want to talk about taking over Goldman Sachs shares this time. As soon as I heard that he was going to sell your company's shares, I bought them without saying anything, because I thought, Mr. Ma, what you insist on doing will definitely be very important. have a future,"

Hearing what Feng Yiping said, the richest man Ma couldn't help but feel a little complacent, "We can be sure of one thing, at least this direction is right,"

"Please rest assured, Mr. Ma and everyone, I will definitely abide by the principles that Goldman Sachs has always adhered to, and resolutely not ask about the company's daily operations. At the same time, after so many years in the business world, we have also accumulated a lot of other resources, especially in Silicon Valley and Wall Street in the United States,"

"We are happy to use these conditions to provide more help for our development,"

"Mr. Feng is polite, to be honest, we really need these now," said the richest man Ma.

"Then don't be polite, if you have any needs, just say it directly," Feng Yiping said, "There is only one thing, based on our understanding of Mr. Ma and Taobao, we are very optimistic about the future development of Alibaba, so we have a condition,"

The richest man Ma frowned, "Please go ahead,"

"We hope to participate in every round of financing from now on, and our investment, at least, will not allow subsequent financing to dilute our existing shares. Do you agree?"

"This, Mr. Feng, in fact, we are not short of money," said the richest man Ma.

"Oh, is that true?" Feng Yiping looked at him and said, "That's not right," he shook his head slowly.
