Ian was also a little surprised. He remembered that he had rejected him twice in the morning. He did not expect Ma Yun to come to iPartment to look for him personally.
"Boss Ma! Hello!" Although Ian was also very surprised, he still greeted him politely.
"Mr. Smith, are you deliberately not answering our calls? Boss Ma has been waiting for you for more than two hours.”Marlene's assistant seemed to be blaming Ian.
Ma Yun quickly berated the assistant. He was here to discuss a collaboration, so of course, his attitude was very important.
"Oh, Boss Ma, I'm sorry. My phone ran out of battery and was turned off a long time ago.”Ian said as he took out the phone that had turned into a brick from his pocket.
"It's fine, it's fine. It's also my fault for visiting so abruptly this time.”Marlene gave Ian a fawning smile.
Everyone was extremely surprised. Was this still the big shot in the business world that they knew?! She was actually so humble to Ian!
Ma Yun continued," Mr. Su, I still want to talk to you face to face about your cooperation with Meituan. If I don't come face to face, it will show my sincerity."”
Ma Yun was indeed worthy of being in the business world for so many years. She had a good grasp of the scale and propriety of her words, which always made people feel very comfortable.
Ian actually wanted to reject Ma Yun directly. After all, he had already made it very clear on the phone that he had no intention of selling Meituan at all.
However, he had come from afar. Even if he was a guest, he had to let him go up and sit.
"Mr. Smith, don't reject me so quickly this time. Why don't we discuss it again at your residence?”
Ma Yun's words were humble enough. He had never been so humble to anyone in the industry. Usually, it was others who begged him.
If it wasn't for the fact that he really liked this project and was very optimistic about his development prospects, he wouldn't have done this.
" Okay..." Ian heard that Marlene had taken the initiative to bring it up, so he couldn't refuse. He nodded and led the few of them to the apartment.
"Ian, why don't you talk business with CEO Ma first? We'll go to 3601 first.”After saying that, Zhuge Dali pushed Zhang Wei towards Hu Yifei's apartment.
"Boss Ma, please sit anywhere you want." Ian said politely and was about to turn around to pour him a glass of water.
"No need, no need! Mr. Smith! Please sit down first! These gifts are all my small gifts.”Ma Yun gave the assistant a look, and the few of them placed the gift boxes in their hands on the ground.
Ian couldn't say anything, so he sat down.
"Mr. Smith, I didn't expect you to be so young. Your future is really limitless. I also happened to see your creativity about Meituan on the Internet.”Jack Ma did not hide his admiration for Ian and his love for his project.
"Thank you, President Ma. It's my honor to be appreciated by you, but I also said on the phone this morning that I will never sell Meituan, no matter how much you offer.”Before Jack could make a bid, Ian went straight to the point and expressed his thoughts.
Ma Yun still insisted," This... I'll agree to any condition you give me.”
Jack Ma was at a loss for words. He did not expect Ian to be so persistent. Logically speaking, his conditions were already generous enough.
Moreover, he had personally come from Hangzhou to Shanghai just to see her. He had even waited downstairs for more than two hours, but he was still not moved by his sincerity.
He had always felt that money was everything. Now that he was facing Ian, he really did not know what to do.
"I'm sorry…CEO Ma, I really don't have this intention.”Ian said with a smile when he saw Marlene's embarrassment.
"Alright…If you're really unwilling, I can't do anything to you. How about this? Your Meituan takeaway is still in the process of being formed, so it will definitely require a lot of capital, technology, and personnel investment.”
Jack Ma was right. Judging from Ian's current Wealth, it was definitely not enough to promote Meituan takeout to the whole country or even the whole world. However, it did not mean that he could not do it. As long as he was given time.
Ian nodded.
"How about this? Since you don't want to sell it, I'll invest. You shouldn't reject my investment, right?”To Ma Yun, this was a huge step back.
However, Ma Yun was really optimistic about the development prospects of this project. Based on his accurate market foresight, this project would definitely be the development trend of the future society.
"Investment?" Ian was excited when he heard about the investment. It seemed like there was a chance for him to clock in today.
"Yes! I'll invest 100 million first! If there's a need in the later stages, I can add more! What do you think?" Marlene's words were almost pleading. He was afraid that Ian would reject him again.
