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

Chapter 703 Question Mark: Something is wrong with this Dongzi
As the speech drew to a close, Chen Mo stood in the center of the stage, his voice steady and powerful.
“.I believe that the measure of a company or a person’s success is not how much power you have gained, how much wealth you have won, or how many wreaths you have on your head.

Instead, it is the real success and real blessing to satisfy your customers, make your hard-working employees happy, and get more feedback from the society you live in! "

Coincidentally, Lao Ma, who was several hundred meters away, finished his speech almost at the same time.

“Today we have so many resources and a huge mission, and only innovation can bring us a future.

We at Alibaba have solved the problem of food and clothing for our employees and provided them with a good income. The company does not have to worry too much about profits. We can also do something for others and bring real value to society, so that ordinary people can buy better things and enjoy a better life.

I think Alibaba is a blessed company, and it is a blessing for everyone to come to work at Alibaba.

So I firmly believe that we will get better and better in both e-commerce and Internet finance.”

If Ma was there to escort Ant Financial's entrepreneurship, then Chen Mo's last words were to protect Dong Zi's upcoming speech.

This deeply touched Liu Qiangdong who was in the audience. He didn't expect that this guy would be the first to sound the charge.

After the conference ended, two reporters each took out the meeting minutes and began to reconcile the accounts that night.

As they faced each other, they looked at each other and saw excitement and passion in each other's eyes.

Wow, this is even more exciting than last year’s speech!

Today’s headlines. Got it!

That night, just as the Internet giants were privately communicating their feelings over wine.

During the day, the remarks of these people were made into reports and articles by the media and appeared on the Internet.

The next morning, the front page of Science and Technology Daily had a striking headline:

[Wuzhen Sword Discussion: Where is the boundary of innovation? The dialogue between two technology leaders triggered deep thinking in the industry]

The subtitle uses contrasting typography:

On the left, Lao Ma advocates "adventurous innovation", while on the right, Chen Mo insists on "compliance first". The lightning-shaped dividing line in the middle implies the sparks of the collision of ideas.

The only thing missing was a physical connection between the two people's eyes.

The special report of Caijing magazine takes a different approach: [Mirror interpretation of the “blessing theory”]

The cover design is very ingenious - the corporate logos of Alibaba Orange and Bian Blue are combined into a Tai Chi pattern

The article begins with the words, “When two business philosophies meet on the bluestone road of Wuzhen.”

Phoenix Technology Special: "The most exciting clash of ideas in Wuzhen this year" is an accompanying picture of two people giving speeches on the stage. I don't know if it is a coincidence, but after clever editing of the picture, their eye contact seems to be debating on the same stage.

Even some experts and scholars have expressed their opinions on this.

Professor of the School of Economics and Management of the TOP2 University: "Two people made very interesting speeches today. Alibaba has been making steady progress in innovation over the past decade, but Jack Ma advocates "disruptive innovation";
On the contrary, Bi'an has been constantly innovating in recent years, more like a disruptor, but Chen Mo broke with his usual attitude today and advocated "innovation within the framework" to reflect the normative demands of the new stage.

There is no right or wrong in this matter itself, it’s just that the angles and interpretations are different.

Both are indispensable parts of the healthy development of the industry, reflecting the two dimensions of the future development of China's Internet, but the degree in between is indeed difficult to control."

Researcher at China Europe International Business School: "It is worth noting that the 'three principles of innovation' proposed by Chen Mo (compliance first, risk measurability, and social value) actually construct the 'Mobius loop' of financial technology - defining limited boundaries in the infinite possibilities of innovation."

The public opinion field has sparked a phenomenal discussion:

Weibo hot topic #Innovation should draw a line first# The number of views exceeded 5 million in just hours

The highly praised comments show distinct generational characteristics:

"The comparison between the two 'blessing theories' is so interesting: Ma said 'working for Alibaba is a blessing', while Chen Mo said 'making employees happy is a blessing'. Workers have a scale in their hearts."

"Lao Ma's 'innovation trial and error theory' is very similar to me who starts writing code without writing unit tests."

"Finally someone has revealed the truth about mutual finance! Chen Mo directly characterized 'make mistakes first and then correct them' as gambler logic, and suggested that CEOs of certain platforms recite the entire text."

"Among these Internet giants, Lao Ma and Chen Mo are rivals in terms of speaking ability."

Bi'an Weibo even launched a vote on innovation: "Should we cross the river by feeling the stones or draw a roadmap?" There were many responses, and the results showed that the two sides were evenly matched.

And just like that, time came to the last day of the conference.

Before dawn, the clouds hung low over Wuzhen, so low that they seemed within reach.

At around five o'clock, when it was just getting light, Liu Qiangdong woke up. He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so he simply got up and went to the gym to run five kilometers.

After breakfast, the streets were still deserted, with most people still asleep or just opening their eyes.

The bluestone road was glowing with a damp glow, reflecting the lanterns hanging high on both sides of the river, and the warmth of orange was intertwined with the coolness of the early morning.

Liu Qiangdong walked alone through the empty alleys. The sound of his leather shoes tapping on the stone slabs was particularly clear in the silence, and every step seemed like some kind of silent rhythm.

Looking up, the sky was covered with dark clouds and a storm was about to come.

He took a deep breath. The air before the rain was especially fresh, and his tense mood relaxed slightly.

Liu Qiangdong smiled. The weather was nice and he always liked rainy days.

Nearing nine o'clock, Liu Qiang dressed in a suit and stood in front of the floor-length mirror in the hotel room, slightly adjusting the angle of his navy blue tie. The man in the mirror had a calm look, but a hint of sharpness, like a fierce general in armor and holding a halberd, ready to charge into battle.

He pushed open the door and walked out.

In the hotel lobby, Lei Jun and Chen Mo had been waiting for a long time.

Liu Qiangdong glanced at the two of them, nodded, then took out a neatly folded note from his suit pocket and handed it to Chen Mo.

"Here are some of JD.com's future ideas and remaining arrangements, if Xiaotian is still young."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Mo interrupted him with a smile, "Not really, Brother Dong. I checked carefully and there are no street lights on both sides of the streets in Wuzhen."

Liu Qiangdong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter - yes, there are no street lights, but there are lanterns.

He shook his head and pulled the corners of his mouth in relief.

"Keep it, just in case"

Lei Jun stepped forward, patted him on the back, and said in a low and firm voice, "Don't think too much, just do it, and we'll shoulder the responsibility together if there's any problem."

In the past few days, Lei Jun has also been thinking a lot, struggling and hesitating. But whether from personal feelings, company interests, or justice and morality, he knows which side he should stand on.

More importantly, as an eyewitness, he wants to see more clearly how the incident develops.

The closing ceremony will be held in the afternoon, and there will be a roundtable forum in the morning, with the theme directly focusing on the future of e-commerce.

The seating arrangement carefully arranged by the organizers is quite meaningful - the old rivals, Ma and Liu Qiangdong, were deliberately arranged to sit next to each other.

Lao Ma continued to perform as usual, firmly controlling the right to speak and attracting a lot of attention. He even deliberately diverted the blame to others on several topics.

From the very beginning, Lao Ma demonstrated his strong ability to control the situation, and while chatting and laughing, he directed the topic to the dispute over e-commerce models.

He tapped the table with his fingers and said wittily, "As e-commerce has developed to this day, the advantages and disadvantages of its models have become clear.

Taobao's open platform is like the water of West Lake, nourishing millions of merchants; and some self-operated models."

He glanced meaningfully at his old enemy beside him, "Purchasing, warehousing and distribution by yourself is good service, but unfortunately the cost is as high as Mount Everest, and the profit is thin as paper. This road can't last long."

".Do you know how many people are working at JD.com now? Last year it was 6, and this year it has reached 10, almost doubling.

Alibaba has grown slowly. It now has only 3.6 employees, and with acquisitions, it has less than 4 employees. Taobao's logistics is integrated by Cainiao, SF Express, YTO Express and STO Express, and has developed reasonably.

If a company is greedy for size and perfection, excessive logistics assets are actually a burden. In the future, the number of express deliveries per day will be in the billions. How many logistics personnel will be needed by then? 50? 100 million? Not to mention anything else, this alone can drag down a company, Qiangdong, do you think I am right? "

"Hmm? Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Qiangdong's eyes drifted towards an empty spot in the venue, and he responded with words that did not mean what he meant.

Lao Ma looked at Liu Qiangdong, who had no fighting spirit and was absent-minded. Seeing that his opponent did not accept the challenge, he felt that his carefully prepared punch was hitting cotton, and for a moment he was a little bored.

At the same time, I was wondering in my heart that this guy's reaction was a little abnormal today.

But no matter what, it was rare for him to be able to overpower the other party in public, and he was still quite satisfied.

But during the handshake session at the end of the show, although Lao Ma was smiling throughout the greetings, he felt a little uneasy inside.

Something is wrong, very wrong!
Liu Qiangdong actually dared to shake hands with me with one hand in his pocket?

And he greeted me with a smile?

He acts like he is the boss of e-commerce. Who gives him the courage?
Lao Ma looked at Liu Qiangdong's departing back and actually felt a hint of determination.

He maintained a proper smile of a business leader, but there was a sharp glint in his eyes.

After some greetings and interviews, he quietly moved to the next venue, where Liu Qiangdong's closing speech was about to be held. He wanted to see what this guy was up to.

The moment he stepped into the venue, Lao Ma's pupils shrank slightly.

Chen Mo, Lei Jun and other core members of the Bi'an Group were present. When they saw him enter, they just nodded politely.

There was a kind of tacit understanding in the air, and when Lao Ma sat down at the far end, his knuckles tapped unconsciously on the armrest.

With all these guys here, something must be wrong!

Lao Ma immediately took out his cell phone, "Hello? Lao Liu, you can come over and listen when you are free, there may be a surprise."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Ma smiled on the surface and exchanged brief greetings with the guests around him, but he was actually extremely surprised.

What could it be?

Taking advantage of the opportunity to attack Taobao to settle personal grudges, making it impossible for yourself to fight back?

Or is it similar to what I did before, planning and promoting their new products in advance?

Is Bi'an or JD also going to develop Internet finance?
Lao Ma thought of all kinds of possibilities, but the sudden glance from Liu Qiangdong after he came on stage made him feel cold all over.

What this guy said afterwards exceeded the limits of his imagination.

Damn, this reckless man is crazy!
