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

Chapter 606: The First World Internet Conference

"Wang Xing!"

"exist!"

"You should have learned Ele.me's strategy. You should know what Meituan should do. Let's try their strategy in the food delivery business and drive Ele.me out of the group buying business."

"Yes!"

Pony Ma added, "If you want to copy, you have to copy completely, especially the quality control of merchants, and the subsidies to merchants and consumers. Don't just make a lot of noise but get nothing done."

"understand!"

"This is a great bargain for the merchants and consumers. Well, it's the shareholders' money that is returned to the consumers. It's also taken from the people and used for the people."

Having said that, Lao Ma's face was gloomy. The money could have been used in better places, so it was a waste now.

After the three of them finalized Meituan's subsequent development strategy, Wang Xing left first to begin implementation.

After Wang Xing left, Ma Yun looked at the sparkling waters of West Lake and suddenly sneered.

"This guy surnamed Chen is so disregarding of the overall situation. We have to have a good chat with him at the Wuzhen Internet Forum in three days."

Xiao Ma Ge was not very optimistic about this, "It's not like you haven't talked about Chen Mo's talking skills on the show before, I'm afraid we won't get the result we want.

Perhaps thinking of the scene at that time, Lao Ma's face froze, and he said bitterly, "That was on the show, and this time it's off the show. Let's activate the circle of friends and let that black dog see what kind of behemoth it is facing!"

Since Ele.me launched three strikes with thunderous force, Meituan Waimai has been losing ground - market share has plummeted, merchants have collectively terminated contracts, riders have jumped ship, and users have uninstalled their apps on a large scale, and the situation is out of control like an avalanche.

Countless onlookers held their breath, waiting for Meituan's counterattack. Perhaps the BAG club's previous violent response raised these people's expectations.

However, the plot that everyone expected did not happen. Meituan unexpectedly chose to "lie down": cooperating with the investigation and rectification, terminating the contracts with illegal merchants, truly implementing the social security of riders, compensating complaining users, and issuing an apology statement. This series of seemingly passive measures has gradually calmed the anger of some consumers.

After all, everyone can still tell whether a company truly admits its mistakes and corrects them, or insists on sticking to the end.

On November 11th, the first Wuzhen Internet Conference opened as scheduled.

This event, known as the "Davos of the East", marks the enhancement of China's voice in the global Internet governance system.

More than 100 guests from nearly 1000 countries and regions, including government representatives, Internet company executives, and technical experts, gathered in Wuzhen today.

Whether it is the neighboring Shanghai and Hangzhou, or the distant Beijing and Shenzhen, when it comes to Internet genes, Wuzhen is far from being ranked first, but the choice of here just happens to coincide with the profound meaning of "the collision of tradition and modernity".

As a thousand-year-old ancient town, Wuzhen is integrated with the Internet, just like an old man who has experienced the vicissitudes of life slowly telling a story at the top of the wave, which is novel and meaningful.

The conference had a luxurious guest lineup and attracted much media attention from the very beginning.

The relevant leaders are basically representatives of various systems.

The Internet here:
Alibaba's Ma, Bian's Chen Mo, and Tencent's Xiao Ma represent the current BAT new Internet giants;

The second echelon: Robin Li (Baidu), Lei Jun (Xiaomi), and Liu Qiangdong (JD.com).

Veteran Internet figures such as Sanshi of NetEase, Chaoyang of Sohu, and Guowei of Sina were also present.

The top ten Internet tycoons are all on the recently released Forbes China Rich List.

The rest are the founders of technology-innovative enterprises (unicorns) and heads of second- and third-tier Internet companies, a total of more than a hundred people.

Foreign guests were also more important, including the chairman of Google, the co-founder of Yahoo, the senior vice president of Apple, the CEO of Qualcomm, Masayoshi Son of SoftBank and even politicians from many countries who were invited to attend.

This historical conference has 8 sections and 13 sub-forums, focusing on the theme of "connectivity, sharing and co-governance".

They had an in-depth exchange of views on more than 10 sub-topics, including international Internet governance, mobile Internet, new Internet media, rule of law in cyberspace, Internet celebrities, cross-border e-commerce, cyber security, and combating cyber terrorism, and discussed the overall development of the Internet, and reached a broad consensus.

The world's attention is focused here at the moment.

At present, the domestic Internet situation is different. First, Ele.me is gaining momentum, while Meituan is losing ground. AT's dominance in the local life track is facing severe challenges.
The League of Legends public opinion crisis continues to ferment, reflecting Tencent's loose control in the e-sports field;
Only in the e-commerce market, Alibaba's Double Eleven created another myth - sales exceeded 1 million in 13 minute, surpassed last year's full-day record (362 billion) in 500 hours, total GMV exceeded billion, and the proportion of mobile terminals overwhelmed PC terminals for the first time.

Although JD.com is closely behind with a revenue of 200 billion, it will still be difficult to shake Alibaba's position as the "No. e-commerce company" in the short term.

Against this background, Lao Ma, Xiao Ma, Chen Mo and Liu Qiangdong became the focus of media attention.

Especially Lao Ma, who is known for his "poisonous tongue", and "madman" Chen Mo, when they were interviewed, there was a hint of gunpowder in their words.

It is generally predicted in the industry that this three-day event, while appearing to be a high-end dialogue, will actually be a scene of bloodshed and swordplay, which is also what countless media attending the event expect to see.

On the first day of the conference, guests signed in, leaders gave speeches, Alibaba Chairman Jack Ma spoke as a representative of Internet entrepreneurs, and foreign Internet leaders took turns to speak on stage. The atmosphere was peaceful. However, everyone knew that the real confrontation had not yet begun.

The main forum ended in the morning, and the afternoon began with the various sub-venues, where domestic Internet giants gave speeches.

As one of the important representatives of the Internet industry, Lao Ma delivered a keynote speech.

The content mainly revolves around topics such as the future of the Internet, globalization, and the development trends of e-commerce.

“The world is changing from the IT era to the DT era: the IT era is centered on control and management, and enterprises rely on technology to improve efficiency.

The DT era is centered on data-driven, open sharing, altruism and inclusiveness. The Internet will pay more attention to ecological synergy and social value.

In the next 30 years, the Internet will change the global business model, data will become the most valuable resource, and companies must learn to cooperate rather than monopolize.

When he said this, Lao Ma's eyes drifted towards a young figure in the front row.

He continued to talk about the future of e-commerce and globalization.
During the process, there were many golden quotes: "Some people say that Alibaba's success is due to China's lax supervision, but in fact, it is because we abide by the rules and innovate that we survived."

"In the next 30 years, the Internet will become an infrastructure like water and electricity, but the most profitable companies may not be Internet companies, but companies that make good use of the Internet."

When Jack Ma talked about the topic of Internet co-governance, the richest man in the Internet industry had obviously entered a state of ecstasy in his speech.

Facing the gaze of domestic and foreign Internet giants below the stage, his words became increasingly sharp and contagious.

“In the past 20 years, the Internet has reshaped the business landscape; in the next 30 years, it will completely change the entire social landscape.”

Ma Yun's voice echoed in the conference hall, "If banks are unwilling to take the initiative to change, then the Internet will force them to change!"

He joked lightly, "In the past, banks were afraid of nothing but the CBRC. I think so now.

But what about now? With the launch of Alipay, I think banks will be a little worried, and some leaders may have trouble sleeping.

What we really want to do is to upset those who sit in that position and do nothing.”

These words caused knowing laughter from the audience, and the media practitioners were recording them excitedly, but the audience members in the front row who looked like leaders just exchanged meaningful glances with each other.

“Personally, I am not very interested in how much money I make.

The biggest mistake I made was creating Alibaba. At first I just wanted to start a small business, but I didn’t expect it to become so big in the end. I’m as busy as the president every day, but I don’t have the power of the president.

People who earn one or two million a month are quite happy, but when a person earns one or two billion a month, I tell you, it is actually very uncomfortable.

We have no interest in taking jobs from private enterprises, but we are very interested in making some state-owned enterprises nervous.”

The whole audience was whispering. Lao Ma didn't realize there was something wrong with what he said, and continued,
"In view of the current monopolistic behavior of some Internet giants, I once again call on some of our companies that have achieved some results to jointly build a more open and harmonious Internet ecosystem. Only when small and medium-sized enterprises benefit together can there be a healthy development path.

I would like to express my stance here to oppose monopoly and advocate universal benefits so that all companies can return to a fair environment of healthy competition.

The future of China's Internet should not be a stage where price wars are rampant and sensationalism is rampant, but a fertile ground for healthy competition and survival of the fittest.

Let us work together to promote inclusive growth of the digital economy!
Thanks! "

Amidst warm applause, Jack Ma calmly walked off the stage.

The foreign guests may not have fully grasped the meaning of these words, but all the Chinese media cameras switched back and forth between him and Chen Mo.
Because the next speaker is Chen Mo, the head of the Bian'an Group.

It is not known whether this was a deliberate or coincidental arrangement by the organizing committee, but the entire audience held their breath in anticipation of the next confrontation.

When Chen Mo stepped onto the podium with steady steps, there was a slight commotion in the venue.

After a series of speeches by industry leaders in their 50s, the appearance of this business genius in his early 30s was like a breath of fresh air in the conference hall. His upright figure and youthful face formed a sharp contrast with the gray-haired predecessors in the audience.

Chen Mo stood calmly in the center of the podium. He did not bring any speech notes, but just projected the prepared PPT onto the screen.

This detail was immediately captured by the keen media - it was in stark contrast to Jack Ma's carefully prepared speech.

As the flash lights lit up in the audience, Chen Mo adjusted the microphone that was originally at his chest to a suitable position, and then swept his eyes across the audience calmly and composedly.

"Good morning, distinguished leaders and colleagues."

His voice was clear and powerful.
“The topic I want to discuss with you today is: how to build a harmonious and symbiotic business ecosystem through the power of innovation.”
