The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 958 Alibaba?

Walking out of the Hong Kong Bank headquarters, Ma Yun was still in a trance.

After a while, Ma Yun shouted excitedly, feeling that the world had changed completely since then.

He did not expect that the chairman of the board of directors of Hong Kong Bank who contacted him would be the scientific giant Liu Tao.

He never expected that Liu Tao told him some e-commerce ideas, invested 30 million yuan in him, and asked him to set up a company called "Alibaba". He, Ma Yun, owns % of Alibaba's shares.

All this seemed like a dream to him.

He saw the broad prospects of Internet e-commerce, saw a new world, and more importantly, made a lot of money!
Ma Yun was in high spirits and he wanted to do something big.

He is not a person who is willing to be lonely, otherwise he would not have started his own business when he was a teacher. After Haibo Translation Agency started to make money, he did not stay with Haibo Translation Agency, but continued his second business!
Ma Yun was extremely grateful that she had made the right decision to attend the World Internet Conference!
Ma Yun left Hong Kong and resigned from his public office as soon as possible. He sold all his other properties and returned to Hangzhou with his team of 18 Arhats to start a new round of entrepreneurship.

Unlike in his previous life when Ma Yun used the house he had just moved into as an office for his new round of entrepreneurship, this time, the wealthy Ma Yun rented a whole floor of office in Hangzhou. The company's computers were all high-end Kinglong computers on the market, and were equipped with broadband.

And this time it’s not just the 18 Arhats, He Yibing and others also followed Ma Yun to start a new round of entrepreneurship.

In just half a month, the Alibaba website developed by 'Ali' company was officially launched.

A few days after the Alibaba website was officially launched, Invest AB Vice President Joseph Tsai flew to Hangzhou to discuss investment after hearing about Alibaba. He was shocked to find that Alibaba had already received 1 million yuan in venture capital.

After talking with Joseph Tsai for four days, Ma Yun successfully persuaded Joseph Tsai to resign from his position as vice president of Invest AB and join the newly established Alibaba.

In just five months, Alibaba raised another round of financing, this time raising a total of 12 billion yuan, including some large international investment institutions.

Alibaba's financing this time shocked the entire Chinese computer and Internet industry, and even attracted attention from overseas computer and Internet fields.

When Ma Yun started the legendary journey of Alibaba, Liu Tao simply sent a representative to Alibaba and did not take any more charge.

After finishing his 8-day vacation, he left Hong Kong, visited the Yangcheng Shipyard, and then went to the Beibu Gulf Shipyard.

Now the Beibu Gulf Shipyard is the second largest shipyard in China, second only to the Yangcheng Shipyard.

When the entire Beibu Gulf Shipyard is completed, it will replace the Yangcheng Shipyard and become the largest shipyard in China.

Just like the Yangcheng Shipyard, which evolved from a shipyard in Yangcheng to the Yangcheng Bay Shipyard and even the Guangdong Province Shipyard, the Beibu Gulf Shipyard is not just located in a certain city in the Beibu Gulf.

The entire Beibu Gulf Shipyard covers Zhanjiang, Beihai, Qinzhou, Fangchenggang, Longyuan and Qiongdao. It is called the Beibu Gulf Shipyard, but in fact it is the Beibu Gulf Shipbuilding Base.

The entire Beibu Gulf Shipyard is expected to be completed by 2020, with a scale equivalent to the current Yangcheng Shipyard and Mawei Shipyard.

Unlike the Yangcheng Shipyard which currently only produces large ships, the Beibu Gulf Shipyard welcomes all ships and even builds fishing boats.

The Beibu Gulf Shipyard takes advantage of the abundant timber in Southeast Asia and builds many wooden ships every year.

In order to meet the development needs and support the Beibu Gulf Shipyard, the annual steel production in Guangxi Province alone reached 4000 million tons.

In the entire southwest region, Yunnan Province has an annual steel output of 1800 million tons, Sichuan has an annual steel output of 3400 million tons, Shancheng has an annual steel output of 700 million tons, and Honghe has an annual steel output of 1500 million tons.

The annual steel output in the entire southwest region reaches 1.14 million tons.

After rapid growth in recent years, the national steel production has now exceeded 5 million tons, far ahead of the second place.

According to the current rate of increase in steel production, it will not be long before China's annual steel output will exceed 10 billion tons.

For example, there is a steel plant in Beibu Gulf, and the iron ore of the steel plant mainly comes from overseas. Liu Tao came to inspect the work of Beibu Gulf Shipyard this time, also based on the important position of Beibu Gulf Shipyard.

You know, in the future, the Beibu Gulf Shipyard will be able to build large aircraft carriers.

It has an excellent deep-water port and a very advantageous geographical location. Even if there is a typhoon, it will often be weakened by Qiongdao and reduced to a tropical storm.

To a certain extent, the entire Beibu Gulf is a natural safe haven.

Now the Beibu Gulf Shipyard can build large oil tankers of up to 30 tons.

In addition to shipbuilding, there is also a ship repair industry which is closely related to the shipbuilding industry. Many ships are repaired at the Beibu Gulf Shipyard.

The "Ray Sculpture" helicopter was hovering over a shipyard, and a fishing boat was being delivered below. The boat was more than 40 meters long and cost about three to four million RMB.

Then the helicopter continued to fly, passing over one shipyard after another.

Of course there are also ports.

The Beibu Gulf has many excellent deep-water ports, and the prospects for port development are very good.

At Longyuan Port, Liu Tao also saw a ship sailing directly from the Red River to the Beibu Gulf without stopping.

Looking at the size of the ship, Liu Tao knew that it must have been loaded at a dock in the lower reaches of the Red River before being shipped to various places.

Finally, the helicopter crossed the Beibu Gulf and arrived in Haikou.

A few years have passed, and the mess that was once a place of chaos has now been put on the right track, and there are no more unfinished buildings.

Now, many people come to Qiongdao for tourism every year, and Qiongdao is beginning to develop.

Liu Tao is inspecting the work on Qiongdao Island. Han Weidong is now serving as the commander-in-chief of the headquarters.

It just so happens that Han Weidong is at the command center today.

In the evening, the two went to a seafood restaurant at the fishing port, ordered a few dishes, and got a few bottles of beer. They ate fresh seafood and drank beer.

Over the years, everyone has been busy with work and usually lives in their own place. We only have a few dinners together a year, and sometimes we get together to inspect work and have a drink in private.

The secretary was eating at the table nearby, while the guards were keeping a watchful eye.

After a few drinks, Han Weidong invited Liu Tao to attend his son's wedding.

Han Weidong's eldest son has already reached the age of marriage. He graduated from Beijing Institute of Technology. After graduation, he did not join Panshan Group but joined the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry. He is now in the First Equipment Department.

Liu Tao waved his hand and said, "Old Han, forget about attending the wedding, lest other comrades complain!"

He had not attended other people's weddings before, so it would be inappropriate for him to do so later.

Moreover, in this kind of wedding, if you attend this one, you have to attend that one. Otherwise, others will complain, thinking that you look down on them or have something against them.

Therefore, what Liu Tao has always done is that once the contribution money is in place, his family members or secretary will attend the event on his behalf.
