Fortunately, Mawei pretended not to understand according to his Russian identity, otherwise the atmosphere would be awkward. Maybe the female manager would be deducted for this slip of tongue.

"Ahem! Mr. Ma Wei, the restaurant manager asked you if you can serve the food now?" It was really not easy for the female translator present to fill in the pit of "Mr. Ma".

"Okay, let's serve the food." Ma Wei's stomach was a little hungry. He was kind-hearted and would not deliberately care about these small mistakes. After all, it is not easy for him to go to work, so he should forgive others if he has to.

With the female manager leaving with a row of welcome ladies, in the elegant private room, Ma Wei, Jennifer, Boss Ma, Qiu Yangping, as well as a number of black-clad bodyguards, as well as the palace maids responsible for the service.

After this contact, Boss Ma and Qiu Yangping were a little confused about how to respond. After all, both sides are not on the same level at the moment. Even the Man Han banquet in Tingpeng Pavilion is full of money!

To sum it up in a sentence from a netizen, "This forces me to go out and brag for a year! Oh, no! It's three years!"

Seeing the atmosphere in the room gradually calmed down, Ma Wei asked the two casually, "Boss Ma, how is the current income of your company over the past year of starting a business? What is the website traffic and average daily transaction volume?"

The questions Ma Wei asked casually are difficult to answer for Boss Ma and Qiu Yangping. Because if you want to tell the truth, Alibaba's transaction volume over the past year has been almost zero. They only convinced merchants to spend money and register shops on their websites.

However, buyers do not agree with online b2b transactions. They prefer offline transactions, one hand and the other hand.

The operating model of b2b refers to a model of transactions between enterprises and between merchants through the Internet. It is very different from the b2c and c2c on Taobao and Tmall. Many corporate buyers prefer traditional trading models.

"Well, Mr. Ma Wei, because our domestic Internet has just started and has not been widely recognized yet. So to be honest, Alibaba's orders this year are only less than ten. Only those merchants are still supporting us as always." Boss Ma said to Ma Wei very frankly.

As a businessman, he is not the kind of unscrupulous businessman who is profit-oriented and cheating. I remember that in the first three months, because Alibaba really had no buyers willing to trade, merchants also frequently complained about this.

Then Boss Ma decided to return a lot of the store rental fee paid by the merchant to them. This frank move made the merchant feel that he could be trustworthy. So he came to support him and comforted him, saying that the money could be refunded without rushing, and it would be fine if he could wait...

I have to say that people in 2000 were very cute and simple. If they were in 2019, they wouldn’t say anything. Companies that dared to refund money were all fools. Users who did not accept money and supported them in turn were also fools.

Shared bicycles are a good example! A certain author was fascinated by ghosts and recharged 100 yuan, but the money has not yet come back!

Ma Wei listened to the words patiently. According to his memories of his previous life, Alibaba was indeed very difficult at the beginning of his business. But he didn't expect it to be so difficult. "There are less than ten orders a year..."

He subconsciously repeated this sentence. However, the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Boss Ma and Qiu Yangping, who were sitting in front of him, looked at each other with a embarrassed look.

From the eyes, we can see that the two clearly have a huge difference between Alibaba and Mawei investing in Amazon. Whether it is the Internet environment or the development of e-commerce platforms, Amazon must be much more mature.

When Boss Ma saw Ma Wei showing a deep thoughtful expression, he was worried that this negotiation would be in vain like the previous few times.

So he quickly added, "This... Mr. Mawei, this is it. Our Alibaba company has just started! So, at the beginning, you don't need to invest a lot of money... Our Chinese market will have unlimited business opportunities in the future. Maybe you can invest a little first and try it out. I believe that in less than two years, our Alibaba..."

Boss Ma is a very eloquent person. He doesn't expect Ma Wei to invest in Amazon, just like investing in Amazon. If Ma Wei is willing to invest in five million, he will be content.

However, just as he was talking and trying to convince Ma Wei to invest, Ma Wei took a sip of the "Yang He Chunlu" that the palace maid had soaked, and then said to Ma Yun lightly, "Boss Ma, if there is more, you don't have to say anything more. Let's do this, I'll invest 50 million for you."

The loud voice fell, and as soon as the words fell, Boss Ma and Qiu Yangping were only seen sitting in front of him, and they were stunned for a moment! They didn't even have time to close their mouths!

"Five...50 million!?"

"USD?"

I’m not afraid of jokes when I say it. In this life, at this point in time, Boss Ma didn’t even know what the $5 million look like. So when Ma Wei said $50 million, Boss Ma’s hands, which were placed under the tablecloth, couldn’t help but tremble!

If he hadn't known in advance that Mavie had invested in Amazon, he would have thought Mavie was joking at this moment. Is this an investment? Or buying vegetables! 50 million, without even blinking, just...

"Yes, US dollars." Mavie said frankly.

According to past life memories, Japan's SoftBank Group wanted to invest 40 million US dollars in Alibaba. But in the end, Boss Ma only had 20 million US dollars. Because if the investment was too much, his holdings in Alibaba would become smaller.

So Boss Ma was excited and thought about it. Finally, he said to Ma Wei with a very sincere expression and tone, "Mr. Ma Wei! Thank you very much for your support to me and Alibaba! Do you think this is OK? The investment of 50 million US dollars, I think it is enough for us to only have 50%, which is 25 million US dollars."

All the smart people present, and any decisions are for a reason. Mavie had already expected that the other party would speak like this. After all, Alibaba has just started and spent 50 million US dollars at once, no one can bear it! It is very different from the situation when investing in Amazon.

"Yes." Mawei nodded happily. The businesses he went out to discuss were just a voting function. He did not need to clearly discuss the details inside and out, at the edges and corners.
