In a verbal confrontation, it was all about momentum.
As soon as Ma Yun's momentum dropped, he was immediately at a disadvantage.
Li Dong wanted to say a few more words to attack this person. Suddenly, someone next to him laughed and said, "Old Ma, General Manager Li, what are you talking about?"
With the intervention of a third party, the tension between the two dissipated in an instant.
Li Dong turned his head to take a look, and what he saw was a face full of beard.
Wu Ying!
Li Dong's eyelids moved slightly. No wonder he came at this time.
It seemed that this bearded man had been paying attention to this side. Seeing that his good friend's expression was not good, he came to help.
It must be said that Ma Yun, a grassroots family, could not have risen without the help of benefactors.
Among them, Wu Ying was a super benefactor.
Whether it was SoftBank's investment in Ali, or Yahoo's investment in Ali, including Ma Yun's establishment of the Jiangnan Group, as well as the construction of various channels in the circle, it was inseparable from Wu Ying's help.
It could be said that if it was not for Wu Ying, Ma Yun would probably still be struggling at the bottom of the e-commerce industry.
There were so many domestic Internet companies at that time. Why did others take a fancy to Ma Yun?
Could it be that Ma Yun was really the protagonist, with a domineering aura?
None of them!
When Ma Yun was still carrying a sack to Yiwu to buy goods, Wu Ying was already a bigshot in the Internet industry.
It was also him who saw Ma Yun's potential.
After that, Wu Ying, the big shot, helped to pull some strings and even invested in Ali.
It was also because of this that Ma Yun had a chance to turn things around.
Especially in 2005, during the war between Taobao and eBay, SoftBank was unwilling to pay.
When Ma Yun was about to lose, Wu Ying made another move.
At that time, Wu Ying held a "Hua Mei IT Leaders Summit" in the United States and invited many bigshots in the IT industry.
Including Yang Zhiyuan of Yahoo, the boss of Cisco …
It was also at this gathering that Ma Yun and Yahoo came to an agreement. Yahoo would raise 1 billion USD to Ali.
This one billion USD entered Ali, and it immediately made Ali stronger. Soon, it defeated eBay and established itself as the number one e-commerce giant.
If it weren't for the 1 billion USD, it would be hard to say who would be the e-commerce giant in the country.
In this process, Wu Ying put in a lot of effort, helping out from the front and back.
Even after the party, there was a rumor that Wu Ying and Ma Yun played golf during the party.
The bet was this one billion USD investment.
Of course, Wu Ying later denied this statement, saying that both parties only bet 100 USD, and it was just a small game.
However, no matter how he denied it, Wu Ying's help to Ma Yun was beyond doubt.
Now that his good friend seemed to be suppressed by a few words from Li Dong, Wu Ying naturally could not sit still. He came forward to give his good friend a way out.
The other party was a senior in the business world, so Li Dong and Ma Yun did not fall out. Seeing Wu Ying coming forward to make peace, Li Dong smiled and said, "I'm just having a chat with Brother Ma. CEO Wu, you guys continue. I'll go over first."
Saying that, Li Dong pointed to Xiang Bing, who was waving at him not far away.
Wu Ying chuckled and said, "Go ahead. You are the Dean's favorite student. When we were chatting just now, the Dean kept mentioning your name."
"CEO Wu, you flatter me."
Li Dong smiled, bowed slightly, and walked towards Xiang Bing.
After he left, Wu Ying slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "What happened just now?"
Ma Yun was a very good talker, and he was also good at arguing. He had almost never lost when arguing with others.
But just now, when Ma Yun and Li Dong were chatting, the atmosphere was obviously not right.
When Wu Ying asked, Ma Yun was not in a hurry to answer. He drank a mouthful of red wine and said with a smile, "Young people are the strongest. Young people are the strongest. We are old, and we are no match for them in a quarrel."
He did not say the details. There was nothing to say.
It was not a big deal that Li Dong used Tencent to suppress him. The key was that Li Dong said it was not difficult to defeat the Taobao. This was the reason why Ma Yun did not continue the conversation.
If they continued, they would really fall out with each other.
At their level, a few sarcastic and sarcastic words were nothing.
But it was rare for them to fall out with each other openly.
Besides, no matter how ruthless he was with his words, in the end, he would still have to fight. Ma Yun did not mind letting this kid suffer a big loss.
Wu Ying thought for a while and said, "Do you want me to help you beat him up?"
Ma Yun shook his head and said, "Forget it. This kid is not easy to deal with. His temper is worse than mine when I was young. If you push him too far, he will burn indiscriminately. It is not worth it. "
Ma Yun did not doubt whether Wu Ying could beat Li Dong up. He had the ability.
Wu Ying, the big boss of the Internet industry, seemed to be in his twilight years. Especially after he resigned from UT in the middle of the year, many people said it was time for him to retire.
But in fact, even after he resigned from UT, Wu Ying was not someone to be trifled with.
Even Ma Yun did not dare to say he was better than Wu Ying. In China, sometimes if one could not beat his opponent in business, he could still win through other channels.
And Wu Ying had this channel.
Even if Du Anmin was the mayor of Beijing, even if he knew that Li Dong was Du Anmin's son-in-law, so what?
…
Li Dong had just finished talking with Xiang Bing and was pulled aside by Ren Hongbing.
After finding a place with fewer people, Ren Hongbing whispered, "You guys did not seem to be having a good chat?"
"You mean Ma Yun?"
"I mean Wu Ying."
Li Dong smiled and said, "Not really, just a few words."
"That's good. You better not mess with Wu Ying," Ren Hongbing reminded him.
Li Dong frowned and said softly, "Brother Ren, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Ren Hongbing chuckled and said, "I know you are at the peak of your career and some things don't matter. But in China, doing business is not just about having money. When Wu Ying started Little Smart, tsk tsk, even Telecom and Unicom had to give way. It is not so easy to do telecommunications in China. It is even more difficult than energy. Which of the telecom giants does not have a strong background? Why did he get to take advantage of it? Even if ordinary people manage to do it, they will end up being taken in. But look at him, has he been taken in? "
Li Dong nodded slightly and whispered, "So … he … has someone?"
As he spoke, Li Dong pointed his finger upwards.
In fact, in the business world, especially when it comes to making a big business, everyone has someone above them.
But Ren Hongbing was the chairman of a state-owned enterprise. Even he was so afraid, which meant that Wu Ying had someone behind him.
Ren Hongbing knew Du Anmin. At this time, he specially reminded Li Dong.
Obviously, in Ren Hongbing's view, if he really caused trouble, Du Anmin might not be able to resist it. Or perhaps, Li Dong was not worth Du Anmin's effort.
Ren Hongbing smiled and did not speak, but it was obvious that he agreed.
Seeing this, Li Dong did not ask anymore. He clinked glasses with Ren Hongbing and walked towards Qin Yuhan not far away.
…
At this moment, Qin Yuhan's face was slightly red. She looked a little cramped and confused.
This was the first time she had attended such a social gathering. She knew almost nothing.
In addition, Li Dong was talking with others. Qin Yuhan had to wander around with Lu Yu.
Among the people present, the only one she was familiar with was Lu Yu, even if they had just met.
Fortunately, Lu Yu took good care of her because she was Li Dong's girlfriend.
From time to time, she pointed out the social etiquette that Qin Yuhan should pay attention to and introduced a few friends to her.
Lu Yu had many friends, most of whom were in the entertainment circle.
Today, some stars in the entertainment circle also came. In addition, Lu Yu was popular in the circle, so many people gathered together to chat.
Lu Yu did not focus on introducing Qin Yuhan. Sometimes, one could only enjoy one person's network.
She and Qin Yuhan had just met. She was going to use Qin Yuhan and Li Dong to build a relationship. Of course, she would not let others take Qin Yuhan away.
Qin Yuhan did not know much about these things and did not care too much.
Other people thought that she was a relative of Lu Yu's junior. After all, they just came in together. Qin Yuhan was young and could be seen at a glance.
On such an occasion, it was normal to bring a junior out to see the world, so everyone did not take it too seriously.
It was the first time that Qin Yuhan had seen so many big stars in real life. She was a little excited and nervous. She did not dare to intervene in their conversation. She stood beside Lu Yu and listened silently.
Listening to these artists talking about interesting things in the circle, listening to them discussing who had recently been in the limelight, and listening to them spreading gossip about their opponents …
Qin Yuhan felt it was quite interesting. For the first time, she felt that there seemed to be no difference between stars and ordinary people.
In her opinion, gossiping was usually done by ordinary people. But when these female celebrities talked about the popular ones, they almost overflowed with jealousy.
Qin Yuhan suspected that if it weren't for the fact that they were in a public place today, these people would have secretly cursed the popular artists who had stolen their limelight with the most vicious language.
If that was the case, Qin Yuhan naturally wouldn't be so uneasy, and she wouldn't be at a loss.
But while they were chatting, a group of people suddenly came next to them. A group of young people.
Most of them were young men. Of course, there were a few young women among them.
It was not strange for young men and women to appear at the banquet. Many people brought their children or descendants to attend the banquet to let them see the world.
But this group of people was very strange. When they came, they did not communicate much with them.
A few young men glanced at the celebrities as if they were looking at goods. Then, someone came forward with a smile and handed a card.
Among the female artists who were chatting with Qin Yuhan, some took the card, and some did not.
Those who did not take it were fine. The young men shrugged with some regret and then changed their target.
In the end, there were four or five artists who took the card.
At first, Qin Yuhan did not understand what they were doing. But soon, a man walked towards her and handed her a card.
Qin Yuhan was afraid that she would cause trouble for Li Dong. She thought it was something like a business card.
She subconsciously took it, but when she held it in her hand, she found that she was wrong. It was not a business card.
She looked at it carefully. It was clearly a hotel room card in her hand.
At this time, she seemed to understand, but also seemed to not understand.
Lu Yu, who was next to her, did not see it at first. When she saw Qin Yuhan take the card, her face suddenly changed.
There was no time to explain. Lu Yu hurriedly grabbed the room card from Qin Yuhan and handed it back to the young man with a smile. She said apologetically, "Boss Hu, I'm really sorry. This is a friend of mine. She doesn't understand these things …"
The young man called Boss Hu frowned slightly and said, "Miss Chen, this lady didn't say anything. Aren't you crossing the line? What's more, it's a gift from me. It's fine if you don't take it. Since you have taken it, there is no reason to take it back. We are all in this circle. I didn't force anyone to do anything. But since you have taken it and returned it, it is a slap in my face. Do you think I am too easy to talk to, Miss Chen? "
Lu Yu hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Boss Hu, my friend really doesn't understand these things, and she is not in the circle. She is General Manager Li's girlfriend. "
"I don't care whose girlfriend she is. It has nothing to do with me!"
At this time, Guohua's face was completely gloomy. It was not only because of Lu Yu's refusal, but also because there were many friends watching the show.
The young men and women from before all gathered around at this time.
No one made a sound, but all of them had a teasing look on their faces. Obviously, they were ready to watch the show.
It was not that no one had been rejected before, but the people who rejected did not take the room card. At that time, it was not a loss of face to refuse.
After all, it was only interesting if both parties were willing. Although they liked to play, they generally did not like to be forced. It would be troublesome if something happened.
But since the little girl opposite him had taken his room card, it meant that she had agreed.
If they refused after agreeing, they would not abide by the rules.
Everyone came out to play for fun. If you don't accept it and then go back on your words after accepting it, what would that mean?
When there was no one around, it was fine. Guohua did not want to make the matter bigger.
But now, his friends were watching, and so were those celebrities.
If he did not respond at this time, who would care about him in the future?
Suppressing his anger, Guohua said in a muffled voice, "Miss Chen, I will give you face, but sometimes face is mutual. How about this, this lady comes tonight, and we will forget about this matter. "
"I really can't …"
"Say that again!"
Guohua interrupted her words, and his face was gloomy. "Chen, don't think too highly of yourself! I will say it again, face is mutual! Soon, I will invest in a movie, more than 50 million yuan. The second female lead has not been decided yet. You know what I mean. "
Lu Yu was about to cry at this time. Of course I know what you mean. If it were someone else, Lu Yu would not care.
Everyone was willing, and some people were even eager to get this opportunity.
She had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and she had seen all kinds of dark sides.
But Qin Yuhan was different. She was Li Dong's girlfriend.
This was only the first point. The key was that Li Dong handed Qin Yuhan to her.
Qin Yuhan did not know anything, and she was not the kind of newcomer who wanted to jump into the entertainment industry. Not to mention that Li Dong was here, even if he was not here, Lu Yu did not dare to let Qin Yuhan take the card.
As long as she took it, it would be hard to explain what would happen next.
If you said that Qin Yuhan did not go, who would believe it!
So many people saw it. If Li Dong knew about it in the future, he would probably kill her. This was not a lie.
For a person like Li Dong, could he accept all kinds of messy gossip about his girlfriend?
For a moment, Lu Yu was in a cold sweat, and she hurriedly wanted to say Li Dong's identity.
