What impresses Cai Congxin the most is Yu Wenfei's smile, that kind of smile is not artificial at all, it looks sincere.
How to describe this kind of smile...
Yes, that is a baby smile!
It's incredible that such a sunny boy has built a famous website all over the country in half a year, Cai Cong sighed confidently.
…………
After getting acquainted with each other, the three sat down, and the monk in the tea house brought Longjing and Su Dian and retreated.
"Come on, Mr. Fei, try the Longjing here. It tastes much better than those sold in the market." Cai Congxin picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Yu Wenfei and Hu Jingjing.
The tea here is all self-grown and self-made. When you pick up the teacup, a scent of tea comes to your face.
However, today is obviously not to drink tea, but to talk about business.
"Mr. Cai, the headhunting consultant should have given you a general introduction to the situation. I won't go around in circles. Facebook lacks a CEO, and you are the most suitable candidate." Yu Wenfei said seriously.
Cai Congxin picked up the teacup unhurriedly, took a sip, and then said: "Mr. Fei, you should also know about my resume. I am also the chief financial officer in Ali now. As the CEO, I may... ..."
"I understand your situation, but I still don't think there is any problem with you being the CEO!" Yu Wenfei said bluntly.
For Cai Congxin, Yu Wenfei really knows very well. As the No. [-] figure in Ali Group, later generations don't know how many news reports about him.Others think that Cai Congxin is only good at financing, so they underestimate him!
If you study his resume carefully, you will understand. In addition, Lao Ma has said in public more than once that if he is asked to choose the person who will help him the most and whom he trusts the most, it will undoubtedly be Cai Congxin!
Cai Chongxin, born in Taiwan, Canadian Chinese, practicing lawyer in New York State, holds a bachelor's degree in economics and East Asian studies from Yale University and a juris doctor degree from Yale Law School.
From 1995 to 1999, he served as vice president and senior investment manager of Investor Asia Limited, a subsidiary of Investor AB, the largest industrial holding company in the Nordic region, and was mainly responsible for the company's Asian private equity business.
From 1994 to 1995, Cai Congxin served as the vice president and general counsel of Rosecliff, Inc., a New York merger and acquisition company.
From 1990 to 1993, he practiced tax law as a lawyer at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP in New York.
His family background, as well as his wife's family background, are very unusual.
Cai Congxin was born in a legal family and has been associated with law and finance all his life. His father Cai Zhongzeng and his grandfather Cai Liucheng founded a law firm in Taipei City. Now it is a well-known large-scale international legal and commercial law firm in Taiwan.
His wife Clara, originally named Wu Huaming, is the daughter of Wu Sanlian, the mayor of Baodao.The Wu family is even more powerful in Treasure Island. It is said that the famous Tainan Gang is controlled by the Wu family.
This is a top talent with profound legal and financial background!

Cai Congxin was silent for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Fei should also know that I hold a lot of shares in Ali. At the beginning, I gave up the favorable treatment of IAB and moved my family to Hangzhou. With a salary of 500 yuan, I worked for The only thing I want is the day when Ali will be successful. Now three years have passed, and Ali is on his way to success, how can I give up at this moment.”
Yu Wenfei smiled faintly, "Mr. Cai, everyone is a smart person and understands one truth. That is, success doesn't just have to stick to one place. If you change direction, you might be able to achieve even greater success!"
"Greater success..." Cai Congxin repeated in a low voice.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Yu Wenfei: "Na Fei always thinks, what is the greater success?"
Yu Wenfei stretched out his index finger and said softly, "Number one!"
Cai Congxin was a little confused, and asked back: "Number one? Facebook is already the number one blog site."
Yu Wenfei shook his head and explained: "No, what I'm talking about is the number one in the industry, whether it's the number of users, traffic, influence, market value, or profit, it's all number one!"
This is a bit scary.
The whole industry, which means that all Internet companies are included!
In terms of the number of users, can anyone compare to Tencent?
In terms of traffic, can anyone compare to Baidu?
In terms of influence, it’s hard to say. Sina, Baidu, and Tencent can all compete.
In terms of market value and profitability, if Shanda is included, which company dares to compare with it.
To be number one in everything is probably not a dream, so Cai Congxin looked at Yu Wenfei suspiciously.
Yu Wenfei did not directly respond to his doubts, but changed the subject, "Mr. Cai, in your opinion, which company has the most potential for development in the domestic Internet industry, and is more likely to reach the top in the industry in the future?"
"The first choice is Sina! There are also Tencent, Baidu, and Ali! Of course, Facebook may also have a chance, but for Facebook, because the profit model is not obvious, I don't understand it." Cai Congxin replied without hesitation.
The three companies he mentioned also represent the four major branches in the Internet field, portals, social networking, search engines, and e-commerce!
I have to say that Cai Congxin is still very discerning. The last three companies he mentioned are not the BAT that will basically monopolize the domestic Internet industry in the future.
The only one who is mistaken may be Sina...
"Then among these few companies, if you were asked to choose the most promising one, which one would you choose?" Yu Wenfei asked with a smile.
Cai Congxin hesitated, this question is difficult to answer.
Because this issue needs to be considered in all aspects. Sometimes, it is not enough for your company to be good enough. The greater impact comes from the general trend of industry development.
The influence and number of users of social networking sites are not mentioned, but the profit model has not been obvious enough, so the market value of such companies is generally not high, which can be seen from the ready-made examples abroad.
ICQ is awesome, the originator and leader of instant messaging software. In 2001, the number of users exceeded 2003 million. By [-], the number of users worldwide exceeded [-] billion!
However, it was acquired by AOL for only 2003 million dollars. Even in 100, as a business unit of AOL, its separate valuation did not exceed [-] billion US dollars.
But during the same period, Amazon, the leader of e-commerce, has a market value of more than 200 billion US dollars!
As for the representative of the portal website, let alone Yahoo, the market value exceeds 1000 billion!
It can be said that at that time, portal websites and search engines were still the most promising in the entire industry.
Because these two are the biggest traffic entrances.
At that time, when talking about the Internet, there was one company that was absolutely unavoidable. It can be said that this company represented the wind vane of the entire Internet.
This company is Yahoo!
Some people say that Yahoo is everything on the Internet.
Chapter 482 Are You Crazy?
Speaking of Yahoo, it is necessary to introduce this company, because its development basically represents the development of the Internet around the world.
Of course, it is limited to the early stage of Internet development...
In the summer of 1995, Yahoo, founded by two graduates of Stanford University, Jerry Yang and David Filo, was officially launched.
At the very beginning, the Yahoo website was relatively simple. It was just a hierarchical directory that simply classified the sites on the entire network, making the website resources orderly and convenient for users to query and use.
