In 2008, online finance was still a new product.
Even though Alipay was established quite early, in fact, it was taking advantage of loopholes in the real world.
There were no payment licenses, no legal regulations, and no one even knew which supervisory authority was in charge.
At this time, some things had to be done carefully.
On Ali's side, online payment was not bad, but in fact, Alipay was also very careful, afraid of triggering a mine.
For example, there was a delay when Taobao transferred the payment when buying things.
During this period, the consumer's money could not reach the merchant's hands, but in the Alipay transfer account.
This was not a small amount of money. Taobao's sales of 16 billion in the month of promotion were half through Alipay.
Eight billion of funds was equivalent to being stored in Alipay, and there was interest.
Furthermore, the interest was not a small amount. However, Ali did not dare to use this money, because they did not know who the money belonged to. Would it belong to them?
It would be fine if no one came looking for trouble, but if someone came looking for trouble, it would be a big problem.
Ma Yun was also having a headache. He actually had many ideas.
However, because online finance was not legal, he did not dare to do it.
Far away, looking for others to cooperate with, was also to speed up the legalization of online finance.
His family alone really could not push this process forward.
To be honest, Ali had not reached that level yet. His words could not even compare to Li Dong. At least Li Dong had some reputation and could push this matter forward.
If he were to propose new rules alone, it would be strange if others would care.
After Ma Yun finished speaking, Li Dong stroked his chin and said, "I think it's quite troublesome to talk about this now. Isn't this competing with the banks?"
"Not really. It's just complementing each other."
Ma Yun shook his head and said, "Online finance has been around for a few years, and it does not have much impact on the banks. However, it is not good to keep being unclear. Some things are very troublesome, especially when it involves a large amount of money. I think you guys are the same as me. This matter is not my problem alone. What do you think? "
"That's right, but I am not in a hurry now."
"You're not anxious?"
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said, "Why should I be in a hurry? I haven't even introduced mobile payment. Why should I pave the way for you?"
Ma Yun was infuriated and said angrily, "Shortsighted!"
"I'm short-sighted. You guys suggest it yourselves, I'll just follow and eat the meat. Anyway, when you guys are done pushing and paving the road, I'll just eat ready-made food. "
Li Dong joked. In fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to cooperate with them. It was mainly because there were too many things going on recently. Li Dong didn't want to get into trouble with the bank because of this.
In fact, the possibility of a dispute was not high.
The real dispute was when Yu 'e Bao appeared and stole the bank's business.
After that, they came up with all kinds of online loans, causing the banks to have no business to do, which caused the dispute between the two sides to escalate.
At this time, it was not a big problem to talk about the regulation of online finance alone.
However, what Li Dong said was also serious. He didn't want to pave the way for Ma Yun first. The Wan Tong was still in continuous testing, and it was not fully prepared.
Ma Yun obviously had an idea, and Li Dong was not willing to worry about it.
Being rejected by Li Dong, Ma Yun was a little unhappy and said, "I always thought that you were daring and farsighted. Now it seems that I overestimated you. A short-sighted person won't go far. He only looks at his own territory. This kind of person is narrow-sighted and can't do big things! "
Li Dong said lazily, "If I can't do it, then I can't do it. I'm not in a hurry. I'm just trying to make a living. You go and play by yourself. Anyway, when you're done, I'll just launch the Wan Tong. It won't delay either of us. "
Ma Yun was really unbearably angry. This guy didn't even want his face anymore.
It was not that he needed Li Dong to participate. In fact, even without Li Dong, their strength should be able to push it forward.
But with Li Dong, the higher-ups would take it more seriously, and the speed would be faster.
Moreover, with Li Dong as the leader, if any trouble really happened, there would be someone to take the blame.
Yes, that was what Ma Yun was thinking.
It would be great if it caused the financial system to react and push Li Dong out. Who asked this guy to be hated by others?
He did not expect Li Dong to directly reject it. It was too surprising!
Although Li Dong did not expect this, he was not willing to continue to be in the limelight at this time. There was not much meaning.
Seeing that Ma Yun was anxious, Li Dong chuckled and said, "What's the hurry? Even if we don't say it, the higher-ups will push it themselves. At most, it will be in the next one or two years. Do you really think that others are doing nothing? The more time we have, the better we can prepare ourselves. Otherwise, we will not be able to react in time. "
As he spoke, Li Dong tried to beat around the bush, "Why are you in such a hurry? Alipay is just a transfer of money. Just be careful. If you don't step on the wrong path, who will care about you? "
"I can't get through to you."
Li Dong said with disdain, "Then don't say it. I don't want to hear it."
Ma Yun snorted. He had some ideas, but they were not formed yet. He would not tell Li Dong.
But the earlier it was formalized, the easier it would be to implement.
If they push it when it was too late, it would be too late.
Li Dong said that the higher-ups would push it themselves, and Ma Yun agreed. But how long will it take?
If it was in the past, Ma Yun was not in a hurry.
It was mainly because Li Dong was around now. If he did not come up with something new, he would not be able to keep it under control.
Ali was doing cloud computing, and so was Li Dong.
Ali was doing big data, and so was Li Dong.
Ali was doing shopping malls, and so was Li Dong. It was the same for payment services.
Other than not doing B2B services, Li Dong was doing everything.
If this continued, Ma Yun felt that he might not be able to deal with him. It was too troublesome.
Now, he had to come up with something new and surpass those who were far, far away. That was the right path.
Of course, there was no need to tell Li Dong about this. He was as shameless as Little Ma, and his imitation skills were top-notch. Ma Yun was afraid of him.
Since Li Dong did not agree, Ma Yun could not be bothered to argue with him. He stood up and said, "Then I will leave first. Talk to you later."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Stay for dinner."
"I'm not free."
"You're quite arrogant. Old Ma, after I get rid of your Ali, why don't you consider being my CEO?"
Ma Yun stopped in his tracks. After a while, he snorted and said, "I will wait for such a day. If such a day really comes, I will do it. Let's see if you can do it!"
"That's hard to say."
Li Dong chuckled and did not send Ma Yun off.
This guy was swift and decisive. He walked faster than others, and Li Dong could not be bothered to send him off.
After Li Dong left, Li Dong stopped smiling. Ma Yun could not be underestimated.
Li Dong might have gotten the upper hand in the shopping malls this time, but there was still a gap between them.
Ali had been established for too long. Although many things had not taken shape, they already had ideas, foundations, and preparations.
They were doing cloud computing and big data, and they were already prepared and confident.
On Li Dong's side, they had just started to develop and were more than a beat slower.
Now, Ma Yun wanted to make an issue of online finance, and Li Dong could see this.
However, he should have just thought of this now. Li Dong thought to himself that he could not fall behind this time.
…
Only Ma Yun came to Li Dong to Jiangzhe.
Li Dong did not see the others, and he did not want to be ostentatious.
After staying in Jiangzhe for two days, on the afternoon of the 14th, Li Dong began to rush back.
Jiangzhe was not far from Jiangbei, and it was only a few hours' drive.
At around seven o 'clock in the evening, Li Dong arrived home.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Li Dong's phone rang. The call was from Li Chengyuan.
As soon as the call went through, Li Chengyuan said, "Dongzi, are you back?"
"I'm home. I just reached the door. Dad, don't worry. I haven't forgotten. "
"That's good, that's good. Rest early and come back early tomorrow. I'll wait for you at home. "
This time, Li Chengyuan returned to Dongping a few days earlier to take care of the ancestral worship.
Now that he was in Chen Jiawan, he was the real leader.
With a son like Li Dong, who would not give him face?
Hearing that Li Dong was going to come back this time to worship the ancestors, everyone in Chen Jiawan was mobilized to help.
Even the people from the Chen family were helping.
In the past, the Chen family was the main surname in Chen Jiawan. The Li family, which was a minor surname, did not have much say in Chen Jiawan.
But it was different now. Not to mention Chen Jiawan, everyone in Dongping and even Qingyang wanted to curry favor with Li Dong.
Li Dong smiled and said, "Got it. Go back early tomorrow. By the way, Dad, do you want to be a little more ostentatious and organize a few hundred cars to go there? "
In order to make his father proud, Li Dong did not mind being ostentatious for once.
Li Chengyuan, who was born in the countryside, was actually good at this. He usually liked to brag.
Ever since he was young, Li Dong had gotten used to it.
In the past, he could only brag a little, but that was really bragging. Now, he did not need to do so because his son was already very impressive.
Hearing Li Dong's words, Li Chengyuan scolded, "What's there to be ostentatious about? How can the foot of the mountain accommodate a few hundred cars? Just get a few dozen cars. Even if you're rich, you can't be ostentatious. "
"Ahem!"
Li Dong almost burst out laughing. After a while, he said, "Okay, then a few dozen cars. Dad, don't be stingy. This time, we'll hold a banquet for a few days. Let's show off our Old Li family!"
"You don't have to say that. I've already called my master. I'm just waiting for you to come back."
"Okay, we'll talk later when I get back. I have to busy myself with business."
"Okay, go ahead."
After the father and son communicated for a while, Li Dong hung up the phone.
He said that he had business to attend to, and he was not fooling his father. As soon as he hung up the phone, Li Dong dialed another number again.
As soon as the phone was connected, Li Dong immediately said, "Old Zhang, where are you?"
On the other side of the phone, Zhang Xiaolong was a little stunned. Old Zhang, this address is really … really familiar!
Although he was stunned, Zhang Xiaolong still answered honestly, "I just got off the plane. I'm going to the hotel now."
"How many of you are there?"
"Six."
"Well, I'll arrange for someone to pick you up. Don't rush to the hotel. Forget it, let's go to the hotel. Which hotel did you book? I'll go to find you."
"Haotai."
"Okay, I'll be there right away. Take a taxi. I won't ask anyone to pick you up. It'll save time."
Li Dong's idea made Zhang Xiaolong feel a little guilty. Why does this boss feel a little unreliable?
This time, he abandoned everything and came to Jiangbei to seek refuge with Li Dong.
In addition to himself, there were also a few subordinates who had been working hard with him. It was also because they trusted him that they followed him to seek refuge with Li Dong.
Is this boss trying to bring us to the fire pit?
Although Zhang Xiaolong felt a little guilty, he could only take a gamble. If it wasn't for this gamble, he wouldn't have given up his Tencent career.
As soon as the phone was hung up, a woman in her thirties sitting behind him asked softly, "Allen, what did Li Dong say?"
Zhang Xiaolong replied, "He asked us to go to the hotel. He's waiting for us there."
"It's so late, and he's still here?" The woman was a little surprised.
Zhang Xiaolong nodded. At this time, a middle-aged man wearing glasses pushed up his glasses and said with a strange look, "Allen, it seems that he values you a lot. I heard that he was still in Jiangzhe. He should have just returned today. As soon as you arrived, he took the initiative to meet you. "
Zhang Xiaolong chuckled, "It's hard to say. To be honest, I always feel that our new boss is a little unreliable. When he asked me to come to Far Away, you guys weren't there. I didn't say anything at that time, but when he opened his mouth to poach me to Far Away, I was stunned. "
"Didn't you agree on the spot?" The woman who spoke before covered her mouth and chuckled, "We didn't expect that you would abandon your stable career just because of a few words from him.
But this time, it might really be a new opportunity. We all know about Li Dong's reputation.
Although he's strong and overbearing, his vision is still very accurate.
He must have taken a fancy to you because you're worthy of his attention.
No matter what, since we're here this time, we must make a career out of it.
In these few years of Tencent, I feel that our ambitions are about to be ground down, and it's time for us to retire.
We're all looking forward to a new starting point. "
Zhang Xiaolong said with a straight face, "You guys trust me, and I won't let you down! This time, I came to Far Away with the determination to burn my boats. Even if Far Away doesn't give us a chance, we can also make a career out of it. I'm already prepared! "
The few of them nodded, "We believe in you!"
Zhang Xiaolong didn't say anything else. Although he was nervous, no matter what, he couldn't bring this nervousness to others.
If he didn't even have confidence in himself, what about these companions who had abandoned their stable career with him?
…
At the same time.
Li Dong didn't even enter his house and went straight to the hotel.
Zhang Xiaolong's arrival made Li Dong a little impatient.
In 2009, the 3G era officially arrived, and smartphones began to be officially born.
Whether they could seize the initiative or not, Zhang Xiaolong's role was still very big.
The arrival of such a person was related to the next step of Far Away's plan. Of course, Li Dong had to take it seriously.
Even if he didn't go home tomorrow to worship his ancestors, knowing that Zhang Xiaolong was coming, Li Dong would still return to Jiangbei.
In the car, Bai Su, who followed along, saw Li Dong's fighting spirit in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
These few days, Li Dong's mood couldn't be considered good, and his spirit was also very tired.
Actually, everyone was a little worried, but no one dared to say it out loud.
Now that Li Dong's spirit had returned to normal, Bai Su naturally felt a lot more relaxed.
It wasn't just him, Tan Yong was the same.
The two of them couldn't help but look forward to Zhang Xiaolong. This guy seemed to be quite valued by General Manager Li.
