Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi was greatly impressed by Ma Yun's keen observation skills.

He has indeed grown a little bit taller recently.

"Not quite 1.85 meters... a little over 1.83 meters."

Lin Zhi then spread his hands and smiled, "Mr. Ma, you truly have keen insight! You noticed that? I'm truly impressed..."

After receiving this small compliment, Ma Yun's smile grew even brighter, like the morning sun in early spring.

He immediately put his arm around Lin Zhi's, smiling broadly, and said, "Come, let me introduce you to our Ali Baba's Eighteen Arhats. These are the future backbone of our company. Most of them have been with me for many years, and each one of them is extremely shrewd and capable..."

talking.

He then summoned his men over.

He introduced them to Lin Zhi one by one.

Perhaps it was Ma Yun who informed these fans of Ali's identity as angel investor Lin Zhi in advance.

and so.

The eighteen Arhats who were Ah Li's founders in the early days of his business all had great respect and reverence for Lin Zhi.

No one had any different opinion of him or discriminated against him because he was a celebrity or because he was young.

This pleased Lin Zhi greatly!

People are all concerned about their image; when you're out in the world, who doesn't want to be respected by others?

Even with his two lifetimes and rich experience, Lin Zhi was not immune to worldly temptations.

This is probably just human nature...

After both parties introduced themselves and got to know each other,

Ma Yun suddenly laughed and said, "Ah Zhi, last month at the company, I just set a rule, which is... everyone in our Ah Li team must uphold the chivalrous spirit of 'the greatest heroes'!"

"So, we Ali people all need to have nicknames with a martial arts feel to them. As the investor, why don't you come up with one too?"

"From now on, we'll call each other by our nicknames in private. Isn't that fun? Just like the heroes in martial arts novels... My nickname is Feng Qingyang! Taken from 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer,' haha!"

As he spoke, Ma Yun burst into laughter.

He seems quite pleased with himself...

It seems he really likes the character Feng Qingyang!

Lin Zhi's lips twitched when he heard Ma Yun's words.

Jack Ma, who is usually shrewd, capable, and imposing, and who carries a sense of greatness, suddenly seemed a bit "childish" in his eyes.

No wonder they say a man is a boy until he dies!

When it comes to playfulness, regardless of status or intelligence, they are no different from ordinary people...

We're all the same!

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll get one too..."

Lin Zhi suppressed the urge to retort, a slight smile playing on his lips. After a moment's thought, he said, "Then how about I call myself... 'Blood Blade Ancestor'? What do you think?"

He knew that Ma Yun was a die-hard fan of Jin Yong, so when it came to choosing a nickname, he catered to Ma Yun's tastes by randomly picking an obscure character name from Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

"Blood Blade Ancestor... is that the main villain in 'A Deadly Secret'? That's a bad nickname... You should choose a more righteous character's name. Otherwise... I'll want to kill you all the time to eliminate evil and uphold justice, haha."

Ma Yun shook his head and said with a smile.

Lin Zhi thought for a moment, then said, "How about Dugu Qiubai... or if that doesn't work, how about the Great Eagle?"

"I quite like... Yang Guo's eagle."

"Hahaha~" Ma Yun was amused by Lin Zhi's words and laughed for a while before saying, "Let's call him Dugu Qiubai, but definitely not Da Diao... As soon as I hear the word 'eagle,' I think of something bad, hahaha."

Lin Zhi suddenly realized that naming the flower "Big Eagle" was indeed easy for people to misunderstand.

After chuckling a few times with great delight, he made the decision: "Alright, then let's go for the undefeated one!"

"Alright, Brother Dugu, please come this way... Since everyone in our Ali family is here today, let's take a group photo. We'll hang it in the company from now on so that future Ali employees and clients who come to Ali to discuss cooperation can admire it!" Ma Yun said with a smile.

Lin Zhi immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Senior Feng Qingyang, I will obey your command."

Ma Yun suddenly grinned and said, "Your nickname—calling me 'senior' while referring to yourself as 'junior'—gives me a weird feeling... Haha, judging from our character names, I, Feng Qingyang, should be calling you 'Dugu Qiubai' 'senior'!"

"You must know, Feng Qingyang is the one who inherited the mantle of Dugu Qiubai! In terms of seniority, Dugu Qiubai is much older than Feng Qingyang..."

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "It's alright, we don't need to follow the book exactly. We can each do our own thing, it won't affect anything."

"That's true..." Ma Yun nodded slightly and smiled, "I was being too attached to appearances. Let's take a picture!"

From then on, Lin Zhi and the group of Ali people all started calling each other by nicknames.

In this way, an intoxicatingly youthful and immature atmosphere permeated the surrounding area and filled the Great Wall.

Fortunately, there were no outsiders watching nearby. As Lin Zhi's initial shame gradually faded, he was slowly integrated into the group by Ma Yun and the others, and eventually got used to calling them by their nicknames.

Just treat it as a rather cringeworthy nickname!

After taking a group photo to commemorate the occasion, Lin Zhi and Ma Yun strolled along the Great Wall.

Reaching a relatively high point on the Great Wall, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the magnificent mountains surrounding the capital city.

After pausing and watching for a while, one's heart and mind are inevitably broadened by the magnificent scenery.

Lin Zhi was inspired and gazed into the distance, his mood instantly lifted by the captivating scenery before him.

Standing shoulder to shoulder beside him, Ma Yun, after admiring the magnificent scenery beyond the Great Wall, said leisurely with a look of great ambition, "Brother Dugu Qiubai, from this day forward, our Ali Baba has officially embarked on the right path..."

"Just you wait and see, in the near future, I will lead you all to ring the bell at NASDAQ in the beautiful country!"

"The Alibaba we created will become a leading e-commerce company in the world, ultimately benefiting countless small businesses, customers, and manufacturers worldwide, making it easier to do business anywhere in the world..."

"A sweeping revolution in the domestic shopping landscape is just around the corner. We only need to work a little harder, and success is within reach!"

"Ah—fight on, Ahri!"

"Ah—Go China!"

"Let us ride the wave of the times, accelerate forward, and forge ahead bravely to become the trendsetters of the coming 21st century!"

"This myth will ultimately be created by all of us, the people of Ahri!"

"Keep it up, everyone!"

After expressing his feelings in a frank and inspiring manner, Ma Yun felt extremely happy.

So, I then talked to Lin Zhi about some of the work he'd been busy with lately, and the latest progress in creating Alibaba...

According to Ma Yun, after one or two months of preparation, the company has settled in Hangzhou, registered many domain names, and built the website framework.

We have basically completed all the preliminary preparations. All that is needed now is to continue to expand financing, recruit a large number of talents from all fields, and then carry out a massive on-the-ground promotion to make Alibaba's website famous.

Then success is just one step away!
