Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 436: Go to the table and place your bets

In early March, the whole country was paying attention to the two sessions.

During the period, Internet representatives appeared in front of the media to be interviewed and even took a group photo. It was a rare occasion that Pony Ma, Li Ge, Lei Zong and Chen Mo appeared in the same frame.

Internet giants and upstarts made headlines, while some netizens exclaimed: Where is Lao Ma?

According to common sense, with Alibaba's scale, if Jack Ma wants to come, his identity is not a problem and it will be a matter of course. The local government would be happy to see him come.

Unfortunately, he didn't want to, and left three intriguing words for this.

"I am not a member of the CPPCC, the NPC, or a deputy."

"You should date the government, but you should not marry the government. Generally speaking, if the government finds me to do business, I will refuse, but I will help him introduce other suitable people."

"One must understand throughout life that money and power should never come together. When you become an official, never think about having money. Forget about money the first day you set your mind to becoming an official.

On your first day as a businessperson, don't think about power. When these two things come together, it's like dynamite and detonator coming together; it's bound to explode.

Politicians perform their duties conscientiously and benefit the people, and entrepreneurs drive the economy and promote social progress. Everyone should do their job and be well! "

This is why there is a situation where BAT is missing one of the two at the Two Sessions.

Although Ma does not hold any official position, he is passionate about global causes. For example, he later joined the Nature Conservancy in the United States and became the first Chinese director, became a joint adviser for youth entrepreneurship and small businesses of the United Nations, and co-chair of the joint meeting of the United Nations World Women's Summit.

The latter two were awarded personally by the UN Secretary-General.

This is more valuable than the later LH Guoyuan and LH Guodiao, and it is authentic.

Later, those ladies would publish books with titles as imaginative as possible, such as "Go to the United Nations for a meeting", "Go to the United Nations to receive an award", "Go to the United Nations to give a speech".
The people in the pictures are all ignorant of the sufferings of the world, yet they pretend to be compassionate to the gods and to love the world.
Most of the accompanying texts are empty and pretentious, such as "May the world be at peace", "Carrying the hope for the future of the world", "Solutions to global challenges", etc.
It seems that these guys who have been packaged, live a refined life, travel around the world or frequently go to high-end places, have suddenly turned into saviors who save the world. The United Nations headquarters is like their own back garden where they can come and go as they please.

Xiaomoushu has become a private reserve for some groups to revel in. Netizens on other platforms are not used to this and have been savaging these kings in new clothes.
"I don't think the Earth can hold the next stop. Is it a space station celebrity? If I don't stop them, the chicken will fly into the sky soon."

"That depends on whether Iron Horse gives me a chance."

"The case has been solved. The so-called UN meeting and award-winning activities are just paid photo-taking and check-in tourism projects. Booking a ticket costs only about 20 US dollars, not more than 200 RMB. So I can save the world."

"Alas, this world is so magical that everything is fake, and only liars are real liars."

"These bitches go abroad for a while and then come back with gold-plated clothes. They have to have gold edging. The premium is already very serious. What kind of world is going on here?"

Having said that, Lao Ma happened to not attend the two sessions, so he planned to take the initiative while the other two allies were attending the two sessions.

Even though everyone seems to have formed an offensive and defensive alliance now, he knows very well that this verbal alliance is extremely fragile, and only by becoming strong can one succeed.

According to the conclusion reached by the three parties, the three areas are food delivery, taxi-hailing, and media platforms.

In the field of food delivery, Meituan stands ahead of Alibaba. Even if Nuomi also follows the food delivery business, Meituan still has an absolute advantage among the three.

As for the media platform, Lao Ma is confident that with the assistance and joint guarantee of the other two, he will be able to drive Bi'an out and take over Weibo, and will then occupy an important position in public opinion.

Now as for taking a taxi, it was almost impossible. Lao Ma did not look anywhere else, but first swept his eyes to his own little piece of land.

Hangzhou, as Alibaba's headquarters and one of the famous tourist cities in China, has always had the problem of difficulty in hailing a taxi.

Previously, the municipal government also launched a public travel application system developed by the Transportation Bureau. Although it is not very convenient and easy to use, it has no shortage of users due to its extremely rich resource advantages.

This kind of market feedback also provides many entrepreneurs with ideas and opportunities.

Therefore, starting last year, a man named Chen Weixing from Pancheng Technology was inspired to develop a taxi-hailing app called Kuaidi.

At that time in Beijing, the YoYo taxi-hailing service had just been developed and Didi was still in the research and development stage. In July last year, Kuaidi Taxi, which focused on the HZ market, was launched.

After its launch, Kuaidi was an instant success. In less than two months, it had more than 2 registered passengers and more than 1 online drivers, with an average of about 1 drivers online at the same time every day, and it had initially established a foothold in Hangzhou.

Subsequently, during its development, Kuaidi took over the market share of local transportation software in the city, and subsequently launched an evaluation and points system similar to Taobao, which was well received by the majority of users.

By the end of last year, the local market in Hangzhou could no longer satisfy Kuaidi’s ambitions, so Chen Weixing set his sights on Shanghai, an international metropolis not far to the north.

As a result, they first encountered stubborn resistance from the local Bumblebee Taxi, and then were beaten up by a fierce dragon from the north, Didi Taxi, which knocked the Bumblebee down and drove them back.

After the initial failure in expanding territory, Chen Weisheng's team, after reviewing and summarizing the situation, believed that Kuaidi was not inferior to Didi and Bumblebee in terms of operations, but they lacked in the quality of local promotion and the scale of personnel, which directly pointed to the importance of funds and the financial backers behind them. In other words, Kuaidi needed financing, a large amount of financing, and a strong backer.

At this time, he received a call from the head of Alibaba's strategic investment department.
A few days later, the two sessions were coming to an end.

Alibaba officially announced two major news in succession.

The first is to complete a US$1 million Series A financing for Kuaidi Dache.

Second, its subsidiary Meituan completed a total of US$3 million in Series C financing with Alibaba as the lead investor, followed by Sequoia Capital and General Atlantic, with a valuation of US$40 billion.

Everyone in the industry was shocked by Alibaba's huge investment. You must know that in the financing process, the higher the amount of funds a startup company raises in the early stages, the more optimistic investors are about its market potential, because the subsequent rounds of valuations are 5 times or even 10 times the scale.

These two pieces of news from Alibaba indicate to the outside world that Alibaba will take the lead in group buying and ride-hailing.

The reason why Ma launched such a thundering attack was to take advantage of this stage, in addition to the topics of the two sessions, to allow Meituan and Kuaidi to occupy the high ground in public opinion and expose them.

The industry is shocked, the relevant media are excited, and the majority of netizens need time to react.

Originally everything was developing as Lao Ma expected, but the subsequent development was far beyond his expectations, which made him realize that plans are not as fast as changes.

How TM old are you!

But the bizarre development of this matter made Lao Ma laugh and cry, because he felt that the other party did not seem to do it on purpose.
At the same time, it also made Lao Ma wonder if he had met his destined nemesis, and if he and this Chen were incompatible.
That evening's news broadcast had countless loyal viewers watching national events in front of their televisions.

When the footage reached a certain point, a few sharp-eyed viewers discovered some discordant parts.

In the picture, in a solemn meeting hall, all the participants are listening attentively, while two people in the back row are talking to each other while looking at their phones. A young man in the front row is taking a selfie with his phone. If someone can zoom in, they will find that the man is like a civet cat that has eaten a melon.
Since it was broadcast in real time, perhaps the director also noticed the problem, and the picture only paused for a few seconds before the camera switched. This made the audience stamp their feet and beat their chests, very upset that they could not record this precious moment.

There are tens of millions of Chinese audiences, and with such a large base, there are always a few who have been single for decades, and they are quick enough to capture this scene directly.

The reason why this picture was captured is not only because of the unmatched hand speed, but also because of a super-high-performance mobile phone that can respond quickly and take pictures, that is Xiaomi X3Pro.

Because only X3Pro, coupled with the snapshot function launched in the new version of MIOS system after the new year, the cumbersome process of taking out the phone->wake up the screen->unlock->open the camera->take a photo is simplified into two steps, that is, take out the phone, click!
What is dramatic is that one of the people in the photo is the emperor, the father of Xiaomi mobile phone, and the other is the queen mother of MIOS.

I have to say that every sip and every bite is God’s will.

When this photo was uploaded to the Internet by a curious netizen, it instantly became an instant hit like a spark falling into an oil pan.

In addition to the top topics of the Two Sessions on all major media platforms, topics related to this picture instantly flooded the screen.

WeChat Moments soon collapsed, and no major platform could remain immune.

Netizens turned into joke tellers, enjoying the fun and making jokes to the utmost.

"A Sagittarius and a Leo, they are a perfect match, together, together."

"I think the eldest daughter of the Dong family still has her charm."

"Then you are probably really hungry upstairs."

"Xiao Mo's sneaky behavior is just like me when I'm distracted in class."

"We are eating melons online, but people are eating more enthusiastically on site. If you zoom in, you can see that even AK can't suppress the corners of their mouths."

"Ten thousand people signed a petition in blood. What on earth was the mobile phone screen that Mr. Lei showed to Sister Dong?"

"I know this question. L: Do you think my phone is awesome? D: Wow, that's awesome. L: That's nothing. I have an even better one, but unfortunately I can't show it to you now."

"Stop spreading rumors above, it's obvious that you taught me to make a mobile phone and I taught you to make an air conditioner. Come to my room tonight and we can talk in detail~" "The curly eyelashes and the affectionate look on her face show that I am interested but he is heartless. It's easy for a woman to chase a man, one top and one bottom. I don't believe that there is nothing going on between them."

"Xiao Mo: So love will disappear, right?"

As soon as the news came out, Chen Mo, who had just returned home and was about to go to bed, went online as usual before going to bed. He wanted to see how he performed under the CCTV camera and entertain himself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Mo opened Weibo and took a closer look, he saw an extremely familiar picture and was stunned.

Looking at the photos online, Chen Mo felt a little angry. My photos are still in my phone. Who the hell has a faster internet speed than me?
Then he saw the glaring watermark in the upper left corner of the picture. Well, the central bank is really cruel.
Chen Mo quickly logged onto CCTV.com and found the replay of today's broadcast, but he flipped through the progress bar and couldn't find any of the scenes in the pictures.

It is definitely impossible for the picture to be fake, because I am the person involved, and the picture is absolutely authentic. I originally thought I was standing on the fifth floor, but I didn’t expect that there was still someone in the atmosphere.
There is only one explanation now, that is, CCTV urgently processed the playback video and removed some unclean "parts"
Looking at the various comments from netizens, Chen Mo still felt a little pain even though he had just brushed his teeth.

Oh, no, is CCTV so gossipy? They even filmed this? Didn't they carefully review and confirm it before broadcasting?
As expected, there are makeshift troupes everywhere.

However, I thought that at most I was just playing with my phone during class, which had no significant impact and at most it was just a bad attitude. My young age was a disadvantage in other aspects, but I didn't expect that it became an advantage at this moment.

Alas, it's hard for Jun'er, a science and engineering guy, who met the right person at the wrong age. I don't know how he will explain it when he gets home.
I think the durian in the fruit shops around here will be sold out in the next two days.
Just as he was thinking, Chen Mo suddenly heard someone banging on the door of his house. It was obvious that the person outside the door was in a bad mood.
I didn't give a bad review for the takeaway. Damn, takeaways can't even enter this neighborhood, and all the food on Ele.me belongs to me. I'm afraid of...
Chen Mo saw the familiar face outside the door on the surveillance screen and couldn't help but sigh. This is the sadness of a middle-aged man.
After a few minutes
Lei Jun blinked his eyes, "You can just say that on the phone. Brother Xiaomo, for the sake of our friendship over the years, please lend a hand and call your sister-in-law. You are more effective than me in speaking."

"Then you and Sister Dong."

"What are you looking at? I am upright and I am not afraid of my own shadow."

"Then you are afraid of nothing, if you are right you will be able to conquer the world"

"Oh, you don't understand. You can't reason with a woman."

"It's okay to call? But what on earth did you show them on your phone? How could Sister Dong be so happy? Otherwise, you can tell me the truth first, so that I can explain it to Sister Tong when she asks about it. We should form a united front first, right?" Chen Mo's eyes lit up and he looked at Lei Jun with his eyes wide open.

"Hey~~" Lei Jun looked annoyed, "Don't mention it, she was very curious about Xiaomi phones and said she wanted to learn more, and I couldn't help but show off a little bit to her."

"That's it? Nothing else?" The fire in Chen Mo's eyes dimmed a little, but he still didn't give up.

"What else? I swear to the lamp that what I said is true, hurry up"

"Okay~" Chen Mo picked up the phone and started making a call.

When the call was connected, Lei Jun instantly felt that Chen Mo's figure seemed to be shorter, and then he heard this guy's words:
"Sister Tong, my Xiao Mo, you guessed it right. Brother Jun is here with me, admitting his mistake. I'm afraid you'll be mad. How about I let him answer the phone?"

Chen Mo saw Lei Jun shaking his hands like a rattle.

"Oh, no need, right? Hi. Don't listen to the rumors on the Internet, there is no such thing. A while ago, there was a rumor that my father was on duty in the court. That's not true. Otherwise, it's said that Sister Tong can distinguish right from wrong. I told Brother Jun that it's not necessary. Sister Tong is so considerate, not what you think.
You don't have to worry about that. I wasn't there watching at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have been photographed, right?
Yes, he was staring at you with his phone camera. Jun showed your photo to him to make him give up. Yes, yes, yes, otherwise he wouldn’t have had that smile on his face. Isn’t it exactly the same as when he was looking at you?”

Chen Mo looked at Lei Jun giving him a thumbs up, his eyes full of gratitude, and waved his hand slightly, and continued,

"Hey, it's really not right to do that in public. Um, I'll help you educate him.
Durian is not as good as a keyboard, my keyboard is still mechanical.
Look at you, you feel sad, right? Kneeling won't hurt.
Oh, you mean the keyboard? That's possible, but I have several of them. If one breaks, I'll ask him to pay for it.
If you are worried, I will take a photo of the scene and send it to you.
That's right, we are so close, aren't we? People from the Northeast don't lie to people from Hubei. I have no relatives in the world except you, my sister. If I don't side with you, who else can I side with?
Hey, I'll go see you and your niece when I'm not busy in a few days.
Yeah, you can rest assured that I am here with you!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo's originally flattering smile immediately disappeared and he let out a long sigh. This was more of a test of one's mental quality than writing a report.

Lei Jun was deeply moved by this, because he had never seen this side of him before. He knew that Xiao Mo was willing to compromise for his own sake.

"Xiao Mo, good brother! I owe you one~"

"Don't worry, I won't owe you anything in a while." Chen Mo said as he walked into the house, as if he was looking for something.

"No need to find bedding for me. Your house is so big, don't you have a guest room? If not, the sofas can be used to sleep together. When Xiaomi was founded, it was common for people to stay up all night in the office. The conditions were much worse than yours."

“I’m looking for a keyboard”

"."

Two minutes later, Chen Mo actually found two mechanical keyboards and handed them to Lei Jun.

"Here, it has a blue shaft, it's loud and hard, and the quality is really good."

"No? Are you serious?" Lei Jun was a little dumbfounded. Didn't they agree to just play along? Why did they turn the fake into real?
"Nonsense, listen to me, let's use a self-torture tactic, maybe Sister Tong will soften her heart and you won't have to stay the night with me."

Seeing that the other party was still hesitant, Chen Mo could only use his trump card, "Brother Jun, you don't want to have no safe haven if something happens later, right? You know Sister Tong's temper."

"Okay, you're considerate of me. You know that stacking two keyboards together will provide some cushioning."

"One leg each, kneel upright.~"

"Aren't I kneeling on the keyboard? Why are you taking off my clothes?"

"Oh, it's all a self-torture tactic, just posing for photos!"

“Then remember to delete the photos afterwards.”

"I know. It's no use for a grown man to dither. Hurry up! I swear to the lamp!"

Click, click.
As for Mr. Lei's subsequent personal life? Of course, under Chen Mo's playfulness, the sound of the waves remained the same. As for the photos, they were Chen Mo's private collection, so how could they be deleted?
A few days later, public opinion fermented and the version was updated very quickly. From the initial Lei Dong CP, it gradually became that Mr. Lei was just a decoy, and Sister Dong's real target was classmate Xiao Mo. Anyway, every combination of the three could lead to a bloody version.

The reason why this matter became so popular is that the identities of the three people are all extraordinary. One is the absolute king of domestic mobile phones, one is the air-conditioning queen Dong Zetian, and one is the Internet upstart and the husband of the whole nation.

Regardless of the fan audience, corporate users are all a huge group of people, each of whom turns into a matchmaker and randomly arranges couples for love.

As the news was exposed, people shifted their focus from hot events to what the three people mentioned at the two sessions, and then to the products of the three companies.
As the whole network pays attention, the business curves of Gree, Xiaomi and Bian'an have reached the daily limit, just like the trend of the heat map of public opinion.

The fact that gossip has become a fuel for business development has shocked the industry.

I didn’t expect that a hot event would feed back to the companies involved and would unleash such huge market energy.

Some media even commented that the screenshot of the conference posted online saved each of the three companies at least nearly 10 billion in advertising fees.

You should know that an advertising effect of this scale is something that some leading companies can only achieve with a year's marketing budget.

This phenomenon has also been summarized into cases and included in some corporate marketing departments or media universities.

During this period, in addition to Lao Ma, there are two other people whose sleep quality has not been very good recently, namely Xiao Li and Xiao Ma.

They all attended the two sessions, accepted interviews from reporters, and put forward proposals related to the Internet.

This year, Xiao Ma Ge's proposals are "Suggestions on creating a good environment for independent innovation and promoting the development of science and technology innovation enterprises", "Suggestions on implementing the Internet development strategy and accelerating economic and social innovation and development" and "Suggestions on promoting Internet enterprises' "going out" to a national strategy."

Li Yanhong proposed "Encouraging Private Enterprises to Go Public Overseas (VIE)".

But what was the result? Let’s not talk about Xiao Li first. Xiao Ma Ge believed that his proposals were not much different from Chen Mo’s “Internet+”, but what was the result?

The topic has received so much exposure and has been discussed all over the Internet. What’s most important is that when the leaders of the two sessions were answering reporters’ questions, the term “Internet Plus” was mentioned repeatedly. This is a very clear signal.

If Chen Mo's proposal is subsequently listed as a national strategy, the potential capital it holds for the proposer is immeasurable.
Not to mention being a person, but being a representative, why is there such a big gap?
And what can he say? After all, these three people are all leaders who are deeply tied to the image of their own companies. They don't believe that the other party has the courage to make fun of themselves.

From the perspective of information channels, Gree, Xiaomi and Bi'an usually do not interfere with each other, so there is no reason for them to cooperate so well.

It's all just coincidence.

Strong people never complain about their circumstances because they don’t have time.

During the Two Sessions, Xiao Ma Ge was physically present at the Two Sessions but his mind was elsewhere, always paying attention to developments in the outside world.

Then there were investments in Meituan and Kuaidi, and news about Alibaba came one after another, making him anxious.

He was not idle during this period, and in his mind he had already found the deck of cards that he would sit on the gambling table with.

That is Didi Taxi, which just defeated the Hornet in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
