Taobao’s headquarters is really nothing good now. It’s just a hundred or dozens of square meters and just a dozen employees. After Bai Qing took a walk around, he came out with Ma Yun.

As noon approached, Ma Yun found a pretty good restaurant around and invited Bai Qing to dinner.

Of course Bai Qing knew that Ma Yun had something to tell her. Since the inspection just now, Bai Qing had already discovered that Ma Yun's eyes had almost always fallen on her, as if she was very nervous.

After thinking about it, Bai Qing called Qu Yan again.

After all, he is also his confidant and the spokesperson for his Taobao and Zhifubao. Bai Qing also feels that he can use this method to support her.

Although Ma Yun wanted to say something to Bai Qing, she did not refuse Bai Qing's proposal.

The dishes were served quickly. Unlike before, today's dishes looked very rich. It can be seen that in order to invite themselves, Ma Yun today was bleeding.

Of course, this also indirectly shows that the conversation at noon today is more important.

Bai Qing rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays, and today is no exception, so Ma Yun asked Bai Qing for a red wine.

There are basically no such high-end restaurants in such small restaurants, but it doesn’t matter whether Bai Qing is.

But Qu Yan poured wine for Ma Yun openly, and then filled the cup in front of him, which made Bai Qing look at him for a while.

Someone has to drink with you, right?

Bai Qing came to support her, so she would drink on behalf of Bai Qing at the dinner.

Although Bai Qing didn't like to force her subordinates, she was still very willing. Coupled with Qu Yan's determined look, Bai Qing finally didn't say anything to stop her.

"Brother Bai, I really envy you!"

After drinking a glass of wine, Ma Yun spoke to Bai Qing.

Bai Qing was moved and said "Here you come", but she still looked calm and replied with a smile: "What do I have to envy? Brother Ma, you are so famous now. You can be said to be a role model for our study. Your experience is enough to write a book with ups and downs~"

Hearing Bai Qing's words, Ma Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What kind of experience is my experience? It's a failure. From the beginning to now, I don't know how many times I have failed. Basically, I made mistakes every time. This is also what I envy you, Brother Bai. Almost everything is smooth sailing and there are no setbacks. The most important thing is that Brother Bai, you have the most precious capital, that is, you can make mistakes constantly!"

After a pause, Ma Yun looked at Bai Qing again and then continued: "The Internet industry is really too dangerous, because you don't know when the company will fall. There is really no warning. Just like the Internet winter in the past few years, I appeared on the cover of Forbes magazine in July 2000. At that time, I was very proud. The company received a large amount of financing. I moved the company's headquarters to the United States, and I have talents from various countries under my command, and the office is also

It's very gorgeous, it really looks like a multinational company. To be honest, I was a little arrogant at that time. I always felt that I had been unlucky for so long and finally gained power. However, in less than a month, the title of "The Internet is Dead" also appeared on many media pages. The Internet winter is coming. By January 2001, Alibaba's books were only 7 million US dollars that could last for more than half a year. What's more terrifying is that Alibaba did not find a way to make money at that time..."

Even though so many years have passed, when talking about those days, Ma Yun's face still looked a little scared.

"When Alibaba's capital chain is about to collapse, all venture capitalists are reluctant to pay a penny anymore, and companies without investors' support are impossible to move on. But the reality is that the higher the investors, they will not invest again when they do not see the real market launch. After all, they are not fools. At that time, they all knew that the Internet made money, but how to make money? In fact, everyone didn't know, so they were burning money to speculate on concepts. However, when the money was burned and there was no profit model, and investors no longer invested, Internet companies that had no ammunition and food could only fall. At that time, I saw that Ying Haiwei, which had raised more than 100 million yuan, had collapsed, and the US Business Network, which had raised more than 50 million US dollars, had collapsed. It was really like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves..." Ma Yun continued.

Neither Bai Qing nor Qu Yan spoke, but just listened quietly.

In fact, although Bai Qing and the others are considered Internet practitioners, neither he nor Qu Yan have experienced that Internet winter, so they don’t have much feelings. But today I heard it from Ma Yun, but it’s a little different.

"So, I started to survive with a broken arm. It was the only major layoff of Alibaba so far. We laid off all local offices, cut off the headquarters of the United States, moved back to Qiantang, and laid off the talents from Silicon Valley. There was no way, we could not afford their wages at all, and then survived by chance. However, I don't regret this failure, because every failure is also a precious wealth, and it is a mistake that makes us different. Every time we make a mistake, we learn, and we check ourselves. In fact, every mistake we make and every failure is our own fault. How to correct it and how to do better next time? Only in this way can we face it more actively!" When we said this, Ma Yun's tone became excited unconsciously.

"The same is true now. Of course, our website has no traffic yet, but I think our prospects are still bright. However, on the road to light, nothing is smooth sailing. It must be full of various difficulties. We can only solve the difficulties step by step before we can reach the end. Brother Bai, what do you think?" Ma Yun finally ended her long discussion.

At this time, Bai Qing finally came to his senses. He had been laying the foundation for the feelings for so long, just for the rest. This guy may think that the current situation of Taobao is completely different from the big cake he drew before, so he was afraid that he would feel fooled and leave.

Although he didn't invest much, only 500,000 yuan, what Ma Yun valued is not just 500,000 yuan. What he valued should be the identity he could endorse him.

Thinking of this, Bai Qing really wanted to say loudly to him, you are just over-concerned. Even if you drive down with a gun on Taobao, I will never jump off the train...
