Chapter 847 Verbal Confrontation

Li Dong is quite familiar with Ma Yun.

Few people in later generations do not know about this person. Of course, there are actually not many people who know about Ma Yun at this time.

However, in the circle, Ma Yun also has a lot of fame.

But it's not a good reputation. Li Dongqi didn't call Ma Dahuyou.

Since the establishment of Ali, people who know Lao Ma feel that he is very eloquent.

Honestly, this is not a compliment.

A few years ago, Ma Da Huyou encountered more doubts, but now it is much better. Taobao has made achievements, and Ali has just gone public again.

In this case, the title of Ma Da's flicker has gradually faded away.

However, some friends who have a better relationship with him still like to make a few jokes about this.

Lao Ma doesn't care much about these things, he actually just talks in front of acquaintances, but when he really meets strangers, he rarely speaks and keeps a low profile.

This time Lao Ma actually didn't want to come. He is very busy these days, busy with the launch of Taobao Mall.

However, when he knew that Li Dong was there, Lao Ma suddenly changed his mind.

In the past, he and Li Dong hadn't had much contact with each other, but since the launch of Yuanfang Mall, they have more contact with each other.

...

Outside the banquet hall.

As soon as the two sides met, Guo Guangchang smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Li, we have been friends for a long time, and we finally met."

Guo Guangchang is young, just 40 years old this year, a few years younger than Ma Yun.

It is not a lie that I have been friends with Li Dong for a long time. The Hurun list of the two is equally famous, and the other is Cainiao Logistics.

In fact, at the beginning, Guo Guangchang was planning to cooperate with Yuanfang.

At the beginning, the logistics company under Yuanfang Group had already established a considerable scale. In Guo Guangchang's opinion, it was more reliable than Ma Yun's Lingdan.

But he didn't know Li Dong, and Li Dong had a bad reputation in the industry at that time, he was a gluttonous figure who could only get in and out.

In this case, Lao Ma used his ability to fool around, and he insisted that Guo Guangchang was moved, and finally decided to cooperate with Ali.

Even so, Guo Guangchang was still very impressed with Li Dong.

He built such a large family business at the age of 40, and this year he successfully listed Fosun as a whole. Originally, he thought that there were few people in China who were stronger than himself.

Even Ma Yun was actually not taken seriously by Lao Guo at this time.

Ma Yun is not weak, and he is doing well in the Internet industry.

But Guo Guangchang, like many others, is not too reassured about the practical industry chain of the Internet.

He did not invest in Ali, but invested in Cainiao Logistics. It can be seen that what he really values ​​is industry.

Fosun operates medicine, real estate, and energy, and has made achievements in these industries. Guo Guangchang has put in more effort than Ma Yun.

The success of Internet companies is too sudden, and there is no sense of solidity.

Since Ali went public, the stock price has been falling, which can be clearly felt.

But Li Dong is different. Yuanfang Supermarket under Yuanfang is already one of the overlords in the retail industry, and Yuanfang Logistics is not weak among domestic logistics companies.

Guo Guangchang can understand how difficult it is to be at the forefront of an industry, especially an industrial company, in such a short time.

Outsiders only saw Li Dong's brilliance, but he saw the cliff step by step.

If you are a little careless, you will lose all games.

Under such circumstances, Li Dong could still persevere. Guo Guangchang had never admired many people in his life, but this was the first time he felt admiration for a young man who was seventeen or eighteen years younger than himself.

Guo Guangchang looks very gentle, and his tone is very sincere.

Although the two sides are barely rivals, Li Dong said politely: "I have admired Mr. Guo for a long time. Before I came tonight, I was thinking whether Mr. Guo would come. I didn't expect you to come."

Guo Guangchang joked: "Then we have a good understanding?"

Li Dong immediately laughed, and Wu Yajun and Ma Yun also laughed.

After exchanging pleasantries, Guo Guangchang took the initiative to introduce Ma Yun and said, "This is Ali's Ma Yun, Mr. Li, I think you should have a common language.

"

Li Dong nodded, stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Ma..."

"etc."

Ma Yun suddenly yelled, and Guo Guangchang and Wu Yajun beside him couldn't help frowning.

At this time Li Dong took the initiative to reach out and shake hands, no matter whether it is an enemy or a friend, Ma Yun shouldn't touch Li Dong's face at this time.

To be honest, at this moment Ma Yun is not better than Li Dong in any other way except that he is older than Li Dong.

In terms of the size of the company, after Ali went public, its market value was indeed higher than that of Yuanfang, but Ma Yun was not the largest shareholder.

In terms of wealth, Ma Yun is far behind Li Dong.

As for influence, it depends on the place.

In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Li Dong was slightly weaker than Ma Yun, but in Jiangbei, Li Dong surpassed him by an unknown amount.

In terms of national influence, Li Dong is also more famous, and Yuanfang Group is more famous.

In any case, the most basic social etiquette should be respected.

Just when they were frowning, Li Dong was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't say anything, with a smile still on his face.

In fact, Ma Yun wasn't looking for faults. After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, but he was not the kind of person who cared about other people's eyes.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Ma Yun smiled and said, "I don't like people calling me Mr. Ma, just call me by my name. Li Dong, I'll call you by your name too."

"this……"

Li Dong is a little speechless, we just met, is it appropriate to call him by his first name?

But Lao Ma himself said so, Li Dong is not a hypocritical person, he smiled and said: "Brother Ma, let's get to know each other again."

The old horse twisted his neck, obviously still a little uncomfortable with the title of big brother.

But Li Dong is a round younger than him after all, if he really called his name, it would appear that Li Dong didn't know what to do.

Not caring about these anymore, Ma Yun reached out to shake his hand, and said quickly: "Compared to Lao Guo and Li Dong, we should have been related for a long time.

You still owe me a house, you haven't forgotten about it, have you? "

Li Dong couldn't help laughing and said: "I thought you forgot, and was thinking about saving money, but I didn't expect you to really want it."

"Why don't you want it if it's mine? I don't want the unfinished house, it has to be renovated. You have to take care of this, Li Dong."

"Hahaha……"

At this moment, Li Dong couldn't bear it anymore. He thought that when he met Ma Yun today, the other party would either stare at him or dismiss him.

Unexpectedly, Ma Yun didn't talk about business entanglements at all, but about the house.

This matter is actually a trivial matter, but it is very interesting to say it from the mouth of the old horse.

Guo Guangchang next to him was a little puzzled, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, you two still have debts?"

Ma Yun laughed and said: "Of course, I was lucky and bought a house in the faraway mall, so I thought he would take the initiative to send it to me.

As a result, if I didn't mention it, they just saved it. This business is done.

It's just that I have a good temper, otherwise I would have complained to them for defrauding consumers. "

"Brother Ma, I dare not admit what you said. When you called and said to keep it, I left you the best house.

As a result, you didn't come here for several years, and I didn't come to pay after the expiration date, which was considered good. "

"So I was wrong?"

"should be."

"Hahaha……"

Now it was Ma Yun's turn to laugh, and Guo Guangchang and Wu Yajun next to him also made a general sense of it.

Guo Guangchang laughed and said, "Old Ma, have you ever bought something from Li Dong?"

Ma Yun said a little embarrassingly: "I was fooled by this guy, and I regretted it after the instant kill. At that time, I guessed that he would definitely not let this gimmick go.

As expected, everyone was spreading the word the next day that Taobao was not as good as Yuanfang, and even I went to Yuanfang to buy it. "

"Brother Ma, this matter..."

Just as Li Dong wanted to explain, Ma Yun smiled and said: "It's normal, if you come to Taobao to buy things now, I'm going to fry them up.

Only gimmicks can attract new users. It is beneficial for everyone to make the plate bigger.

It doesn't mean that Taobao users can't go to distant places to buy things, nor does it mean that users from faraway places can't come to Taobao.

The e-commerce market has just emerged, and at this time, everyone is working together to make the market bigger, and everyone can get a share. "

Ma Yun spoke very fast, and his words sounded majestic.

There is no meaning of looking down on the distance, and there is no such attitude of life and death among competitors.

But Li Dong tsk-towed after hearing this, saying that old horses can fool around, and at this time he has seen it.

It is good for everyone if the market grows bigger. If so, he would not have chased after eBay in the first place.

If Li Dong really believed his words, he relaxed his vigilance against Taobao, and he didn't know how to die.

But Li Dong didn't refute at this time, and nodded with a smile as a tacit consent.

Wu Yajun next to him said at this moment: "Everyone, don't stand here, people are almost here, and the banquet is about to start, go in."

"Mr. Guo, Brother Ma, please."

Li Dong stretched out his hand to make a false introduction, letting the two enter first.

As for picking up customers, he is not a waiter, so why should he continue to wait.

Tonight, he just wanted to meet Ma Yun and the others. The others hadn't arrived yet. He was so arrogant, and Li Dong was not someone else's younger brother, so he didn't bother to wait any longer.

The group of four walked and chatted, the main chatter was Li Dong and the three, and Lao Ma was making soy sauce beside him.

When Ma Yun speaks, he can say that others have nothing to say in one breath.

If he doesn't speak, he doesn't say anything for a long time.

Guo Guangchang has long been used to him, although Li Dong is not used to it, but he said that strong people have their own quirks, and he didn't bother to care about it.

Wu Yajun was actually a little dissatisfied, but she mainly looked at Guo Guangchang, and she didn't care too much if Ma Yun didn't speak.

As soon as a few people entered the banquet hall, other people all looked over.

The next four were not easy, two of the top ten richest people, another Internet company became the No.

Four people, pulling one out alone to participate in the banquet is the center of the banquet, let alone together.

Seeing them arrive, many people stepped forward to greet them.

Because everyone had different circles and each had their own friends, before the banquet started, Guo Guangchang and Li Dong bid farewell and went to meet other friends.

But Ma Yun didn't leave, this guy has been following Li Dong's side.

Until Wu Yajun was called away by Xiang Bing, Li Dong saw that he was still there, and couldn't help laughing at himself, am I so handsome?

The old horse always followed him, which made Li Dong embarrassed to see Qin Yuhan.

Fortunately, Lao Ma stopped following him soon. In fact, Ma Yun stayed because he wanted to say something to Li Dong.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ma Yun suddenly said: "Li Dong, on New Year's Day, our Taobao Mall will go online!"

Li Dong frowned. The Taobao Mall at this time is actually the Tmall of later generations.

Lao Ma chose to say these words at this time, the meaning of challenge is too strong.

Currently, in terms of e-commerce, Taobao ranks first, and Yuanfang Mall ranks second.

However, Taobao and Yuanfang Mall are actually somewhat different from each other. Although everyone's business is similar, the things on Taobao are very complicated and messy, while Yuanfang Mall is mostly settled by brand companies.

Taobao suffered a dark loss because of the problem of fake products before.

Now Ma Yun suddenly said this, obviously telling Li Dong that his goal of Taobao Mall is Yuanfang Mall.

Lao Ma is very confident. This kind of self-confidence has not been established for a day or two, nor has it just been established.

In fact, he was very confident when he was not yet developed, and he still is until now.

If it were someone else, maybe they would laugh it off.

But Li Dong is not someone else, he is young, and youth is confidence.

Although he admired this big fool in his previous life, he has issued a letter of challenge, so is he still holding back?

As soon as Ma Yun finished speaking, Li Dong narrowed his eyes and said, "Then congratulations to Brother Ma in advance, and I hope Taobao Mall will have a good ending."

"certain."

"Hard to say."

"Wait and see."

Li Dong said with a smile: "Then wait and see, I hope Brother Ma can give me some surprises."

Ma Yun also smiled and said: "Yes, Taobao Mall is the surprise I prepared, I really hope you can hold on.

After the collapse of eBay that year, I feel that there is no rival in China.

At this time, I was actually very lonely, and I have grown a lot more arrogant in the past two years.

I didn't become interested until Yuanfang Mall suddenly appeared.

It is a good thing to have an opponent. I have never been afraid of competition. I am afraid that my competitors are too weak to keep up with me. "

Li Dong smiled lightly: "Then I am luckier than you, I still have someone to surpass in front of me, so I am very passionate now.

There is no way to surpass Tencent for the time being, but I think there is still hope for killing Taobao. "

The old horse's face suddenly collapsed, this was the first time tonight.

Your uncle!

This is the first thought that came to his mind, what do you mean?

Can't beat Tencent, but can kill Taobao, you mean I'm more cowardly than another horse?

Li Dong didn't know about Ma Yun's psychology, but he could guess the general idea by looking at his expression.

Li Dong hummed in his heart, let you provoke me.

Don't look at Ma Yun's calm tonight, who was still smiling happily in front of him. In fact, he was suppressing Li Dong's morale from the beginning to the end.

What makes the plate bigger together, eager for competitors, hoping that competitors can make him interested...

Anyway, it's just pretending, and it's natural.

Yuanfang Mall is weaker than Taobao, and Li Dong's harsh words are useless.

He simply stopped talking harshly, and used Tencent's prestige to suppress the old horse.

And Li Dong didn't lie. At this time, Tencent had a stronger foundation than Ali.

Everyone knew it in their hearts. When Li Dong said this, the old horse's momentum finally fell.
