Feeling countless gazes on him.
Chen Jin felt his scalp go numb.
There were at least a few thousand people sitting in the conference hall. Other than the big shots of the internet industry, there were also heads of international organizations, internet celebrities, business elites, experts, and scholars … Anyone would feel some pressure being watched by so many elites, right?
However, Chen Jin still pretended as if nothing had happened. He walked to the seat that the organizers had arranged for him — a white single-seater sofa in the middle of the first row. Chen Jin nodded towards the rostrum and sat down.
Brother Lei sat beside him.
After announcing the opening of the conference, the organizer's spokesperson gave a keynote speech about this year's Internet Conference.
"The theme of this year's conference is' 5G + Artificial Intelligence — Working Together to Build a New World of the Future '. Around this theme, we have set up a number of cutting-edge hot topics such as' 5G Commercial Use ',' Intelligent Life ',' Intelligent Education ',' Intelligent Industry ',' Promoting Globalization ', and other cutting-edge hot topics. A total of 22 forums will be held to invite well-known entrepreneurs, experts, and scholars to express their unique opinions.
20X0 was the first year that 5G technology was fully commercialized, officially entering the 5G era. Artificial intelligence technology was also developing rapidly, such as driverless cars, intelligent industrial manufacturing, intelligent learning machines, intelligent robots, and so on. A large number of epoch-making artificial intelligence products had emerged.
The spokesperson even waved his hand and made a special introduction. "We are honored to have Mr. Chen Jin, the founder of Xing Hai Technologies for this year's conference. At our invitation, Mr. Chen Jin will give a wonderful speech on the topic of 'intelligent education.' We hope that everyone will listen to Mr. Chen Jin's wisdom."
Pa la pa la ~
A round of applause rang out.
Chen Jin, who had once again become the center of attention, stood up and gestured. He looked around, waved at everyone, and nodded repeatedly.
…
After the opening meeting.
Many people in the business world moved closer to Chen Jin.
"Hello, President Chen."
"President Chen, this is my business card."
"President Chen, I admire you very much. I would like to treat you to a meal."
Chen Jin repeatedly waved his hands in refusal and quickened his pace.
Brother Lei whispered into his ear, "Don't bother with these people. They're not from the tech circle. They're just sharks that have smelled blood. I've suffered at the hands of these people before."
Chen Jin nodded. When he saw the fawning smiles on the faces of these business people, he subconsciously wanted to stay away from them.
At this moment, a young man ran over from behind.
"President Chen, please wait! Boss Ma would like to see you. Please step aside. "
Hearing this voice.
Chen Jin stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at him. "Mr. Ma? That Boss Ma? "
Brother Lei recognized the young man. He whispered in Chen Jin's ear, "He's Old Ma's assistant, Ma Fei from Ali Group. I want to see you. "
Oh ~
Although he had become the richest man in Z country, he claimed that he had "never seen money before and was not interested in money". His business was extremely successful, but he said that the one thing he regretted the most in his life was founding Ali, Jack Ma.
Chen Jin's interest was piqued.
…
In a small side hall of the convention center.
Chen Jin saw Jack Ma, who was waiting inside.
"Boss Ma, nice to meet you. I've heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you in person. It's an honor, an honor, a great honor."
"Young and promising, the younger generation will surpass us in time. I am also very honored."
The two of them shook hands and started to flatter each other.
Chen Jin sized up Jie Ke Ma in front of him. He wasn't tall, had a thin and weak body, and had a peculiar appearance. In any case, he couldn't be associated with the word "handsome."
However, successful people had special bonuses. The more successful they were, the more bonuses they would receive, slowly changing the public's sense of beauty. Even if they were not handsome, they would still be handsome.
After some small talk.
The two of them sat on the sofa.
Jie Ke Ma did not keep Chen Jin in suspense. He stated the reason why he wanted to meet Chen Jin: investment.
"Ali Group is very optimistic about the development prospects of your company, so we want to invest in your Xing Hai Technologies," he said.
"Oh ~"
Chen Jin's gaze froze. He turned to look at him and said, "How much does Ali Group want to invest?"
"I don't know how much you will agree to, President Chen," Jie Ke Ma said. "Even … as long as you nod, President Chen, Ali Group can fully acquire Xing Hai Technologies."
Fully acquire?
Chen Jin was shocked by his tone. He asked in surprise, "President Ma, I wonder if your company has a detailed understanding of Xing Hai Technologies? Xing Hai Technologies is not an ordinary small company, but one of the top 100 companies in the country. Xing Hai Technologies' revenue this year can easily exceed $250 billion. Has your company investigated this situation clearly? "
"Of course. Our professional financial analysts have investigated your company's operating conditions and development prospects in detail. They have come to the conclusion that your company has extremely high potential. Even so, Ali Group still has the ability to fully acquire your company. If you are interested, President Chen, we can offer a price that will move you. "Jie Ke Ma had a serious expression on his face that said," I'm not joking. "
"Alright, let me ask, how much is your company willing to pay for a full acquisition? How much can you pay?"
Jie Ke Ma raised a finger and said faintly, "One trillion. If President Chen thinks it's too little, we can add more."
What the f * ck!
Lei Xiao Jun, who accidentally heard this, almost fell over. His Da Mi company's current market value was only $700 billion. Ali Group actually threw out one trillion.
If it was not enough, we can add more!
As a fellow big boss, Lei Xiao Jun felt that his world was instantly divided into two. Other big bosses were in the sky, while he was on the ground. He could only look up to them.
Chen Jin muttered to himself.
One trillion was about $150 billion. Back when Broadcom launched its acquisition of Qualcomm, it was only $130 billion. In the eyes of Ali Group, Xing Hai Technologies' potential might not surpass Qualcomm, but it was on the same level.
With so much money in his hands, Chen Jin would not only immediately become the richest man in Z country, but also the richest man in the world. He would have unlimited glory and become the focus of the whole world.
However …
After he calmed down, he shook his head.
"I'm sorry, President Ma, I will not sell Xing Hai Technologies. I won't allow it in other aspects as well. Besides, money and career. I can't just have money and not a career. I'm so young, I can't just hold onto a pile of money and do nothing all day, right? "
"What about investment? Is the investment acceptable? "As if he had expected Chen Jin's rejection, Jie Ema was not surprised and asked again.
Chen Jin still shook his head. "I don't lack money. I don't need a third-party investment either. I appreciate President Ma's good intentions."
Jie Ema was extremely surprised. He straightened his body and looked at Chen Jin. "Doesn't your company need funds for expansion and development? If you accept third-party financing, your company's development speed can be increased by several times or even dozens of times. Don't you want to expand quickly and seize the first opportunity for development? "
"The bank loans are sufficient. Xing Hai Technologies' cash flow is also sufficient to support expansion." If it really did not work, there was still more than 30,000 tons of gold on Haierfa.
So, Chen Jin stood up and said, "President Ma, I appreciate Ali Group's good intentions. If there are opportunities for cooperation in the future, Xing Hai Technologies is very willing to cooperate with Ali Group. "
"Alright."
Jie Ema also stood up and shook hands with him. He nodded and said, "If there are opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Chen Jin took his leave and left the small side hall.
Looking at Chen Jin's receding figure, a trace of envy flashed in Jie Ema's eyes. There was also a trace of loneliness hidden in the depths of his heart. He sighed and said, "A company that is completely controlled by an individual? That's a wise path. "
…
He walked out of the small side hall.
Chen Jin whispered into Lei Xiao Jun's ear, "Brother Lei, it's a capital of 1 trillion. Can Ali Group really come up with so much money? Isn't this too much? "
Lei Xiao Jun said thoughtfully, "Old Ma definitely can't come up with so much money. But the big capital behind Ali Group can definitely come up with this amount."
He analyzed, "I thought about it carefully just now. I was thinking, Old Ma was doing well. Why did he suddenly announce his retirement two years ago? How many entrepreneurs in Z country retire at the age of 50? Is he really willing to retire? Or is it like what some people on the internet guessed, that the government is suppressing Old Ma? "
"Actually, none of these are the reasons. I think the real reason is that the big capital behind Ali Group is forcing Old Ma to step down.
You can go and take a look at the list of shareholders of Ali Group. The top few names are all internationally renowned capitals. More than 70% of Ali's shares are in the hands of foreign investment institutions. Some people call Ali Group a 'foreign investment' enterprise. To a certain extent, it is not without reason.
Actually, Old Ma doesn't want Ali to be controlled by those big capital. But Ali Group's entrepreneurial journey was too difficult. Almost no one was optimistic about it. If it wasn't for the capital from foreign investment institutions, Ali Group would not have been able to succeed at all. If I were in Old Ma's position, I would also make the same choice as him.
It's just that the power of capital is too great. Old Ma can't resist it. In the past, when he said that he 'regretted founding Ali,' he was not bragging. He was speaking the truth from the bottom of his heart. It's not that he didn't want to completely control Ali, but … "
Lei Xiao Jun shook his head. Capital was a double-edged sword. It could make you invincible, but it could also backfire on you. There were pros and cons.
"Oh, I see …"
Chen Jin was suddenly enlightened by Brother Lei's analysis. He suddenly understood many things.
