The 2016 Wuzhen Internet Conference has a total of 16 forums and 20 topics. Involving international cutting-edge hot issues such as Internet economy, culture, innovation, governance, and cooperation. Guests attending the conference came from more than 120 countries and regions around the world.
There are heads of international organizations, leading figures in Internet companies, celebrities, experts and scholars, etc. There are 8 foreign leaders and nearly 50 foreign ministerial officials.
Jing Gao came to Wuzhen purely because the organizing committee sent him an invitation and he had to come. After yesterday's opening ceremony, various forums were held today. He and Cao Danqing came in at random.
It is really not something that he can figure out and understand about various issues on the Internet. This is a competition between countries. He actually has little interest in the content of the forum.
As a result, he became an instant celebrity because of the "little" thing that happened last night. This is really unintentional.
In terms of difficulty and danger, his game with Ali and Yinhe was dangerous. Thinking back on it now, it made him silent. What does it mean to acquire a meager sum? Spend some money and tell Wu Jingshu, and the matter will be done.
How does it feel to be famous?
Jing Gao smiled and replied to Cao Danqing with two words: trouble.
…
…
In the afternoon of the 18th, Wuzhen, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, was a little less noisy than the past few days. After the closing ceremony, the guests returned one after another.
Cao Guowei and his old buddy Wang Gaofei, Sina's meager CEO, were sitting in a tavern drinking wine and discussing countermeasures. Slightly deserted.
Wang Gaofei said: "Old Cao, it was my decision not to delete the comment. I will be responsible. I will resign to Jing Gao. After Jing Gao gets a meager salary from Sina, someone must take care of it for him. We have taken care of all aspects of the two companies. We’re all familiar with it. And our team still holds shares.”
Cao Guowei was fifty-two years old. He was sitting at an old wooden table, drinking wine by himself, feeling very depressed. He is really facing the same dilemma as Cheng Wei and Liu Qing. If he loses his position at Sina, his wealth will still be there, but his honor and status in the world will be gone.
"I'm afraid the problem is that the management team has shares! Isn't he afraid that our management team, as small shareholders, will have different intentions? Lao Wang, do you think we still have a chance to start a business?"
Wang Gaofei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, took a sip of white wine and said: "What are you thinking about? It's not fifteen years ago anymore. China's Internet is now a blue ocean. It's hard to have the opportunity to start another company. The current track In the field of live broadcasting, Station B will start to take off in the second half of this year.”
Cao Guowei agreed with this view and sighed: "Lao Wang, the best outcome is that I take charge of this matter, take advantage of the stock price pushed up by Jiuge Capital's acquisition of Sina shares, directly clear out the stocks, and leave with cash.
You help Phoenix Fund succeed my successor at the helm of Sina. Of course, you may have to sell some of your shares as well. Simply as a professional manager.
The only bargaining chip we have is that I am the chairman and have certain authority over the agenda of the shareholders' meeting. I have asked Ren to make an appointment with Jing Gao, and we will visit him after dinner. I hope we can come up with a good outcome. "
Wang Gaofei also let out a long sigh and nodded, "Okay!" I am a knife-sitter, and I am a fish-meat. But in the end we still have to strive for the best results.
…
…
Fame is indeed a trouble for Jinggao. Shenhao, you don’t need this. Stars need fame and exposure.
There are two reasons for this. First, he doesn’t like to appear in front of the camera. This will interfere with his normal life. He still hopes to be able to walk on the street without restraint.
Second, as a Aquaman who keeps a lot of fish, taking photos for the media means risks! Shura Field is no fun.
However, many things do not depend on Jinggao's will.
When he left the venue at noon on the 17th, dozens of media blocked the entrance of the venue and aimed at him with long and short guns. He just bowed his hands in salute and did not accept interviews. He didn't want to mess up the Internet Conference. Just this summer, the stories of Wang Baobao and Ma Jinlian overshadowed the Olympic Games, which attracted criticism from some voices.
He wants to divert the focus of the Internet conference, which will definitely lose points in the above impression! Ali and Yinhe will wake up from their dreams with laughter.
Jing Gao asked for leave from the organizer in the afternoon and left Wuzhen. Returned to attend the closing ceremony on the morning of the 18th. In the evening, he entertained Cao Guowei and Wang Gaofei who came to visit him at "Tongxiang Longhu".
Not long after nightfall, there was silence inside and outside the courtyard, and the cold wind in winter was howling. In the living room, the lights are bright.
"Mr. Jing, hello."
"Hello." Jing Gao shook hands with Cao Guowei and Wang Gaofei with a very calm face, looked at the two of them, and made a gesture: "Please sit down, both of you."
Jiang Zi, a mature woman with a pretty face and graceful figure, served three cups of tea and then quietly left. Before going out, she didn't know if it was because she knew the status of the visitor, but she always felt that every action of Mr. Jing was like a boss.
Cao Guowei, who has been famous for more than ten years, is like a primary school student in front of Mr. Jing.
Cao Guowei has short hair and a bit of gray hair. He is wearing a suit and is very formal. During those years of modest glory in Sina, he was indeed honored.
He has been awarded the 2006 Media Figure of the Year, the 25 Most Influential Business Leaders from 2008 to 2010, the 2009 CCTV Economic Figure of the Year, the 2010 Chinese Economic Leader, and the top 100 most influential people in the world in the United States in 2011.
However, with the rise of various new media, especially Toutiao and news clients, he has not won an award since 2014. Of course, Sina and the meager chairmanship are enough for him to have a place in Ding Sanshi's wine game.
Cao Guowei sat on the sofa next to the coffee table in the living room. He sat upright, his voice was slightly cautious, and he carefully organized his words, "Mr. Jing, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to meet you."
Jing Gao waved his hand and said frankly: "President Zhong is an old friend of mine. Since he has come forward to intercede, I will give him face after all." Sina's headquarters is in the capital. The middleman Cao Guowei hired was Zhong Qiming, the vice president of Beijing Bank.
I worked very well with Zhong Qiming before. Otherwise, Jing Gao would not have met Cao Guowei today.
Wang Gaofei felt a little stinging in his heart. That’s what I said! People who are several decades old can't help but feel a little sour at this moment.
Cao Guowei took a sip of tea, covering up the embarrassment of "failure to flatter", and then said after careful consideration: "Mr. Jing, I first want to apologize to you for not supporting the Phoenix Fund when it was at the forefront of public opinion. I don't deny that it was me. There is a certain tendency. We have cooperated with Alibaba for many years. Alibaba accounts for a very high share of the meager advertising revenue."
As he spoke, he paused and looked at Jing Gao.
Jing Gao leaned slightly on the sofa and nodded, "Understandable."
Cao Guowei was overjoyed. Jing Gao seemed different from the rumors. He was still reasonable. There was something to discuss. "So, I take full responsibility for this matter. I now resign to Mr. Jing in person. Moreover, after the announcement, I will clear out the stocks of Sina and Weibo. I just hope that Mr. Jing can retain Sina's operating team. Like Lao Wang They are both good managers. It was not easy for them to get to where they are today."
Jing Gao just smiled and asked: "Mr. Cao, have you read 'The Three-Body Problem' written by Da Liu?"
Cao Guowei felt a little confused and nodded, "I've seen it."
Jing Gaodao: "There is a very interesting description in Three-Body Problem, about the dimensionality reduction strike. I don't remember the original words. It roughly means: I will destroy you, but it has nothing to do with you. The current situation between you and me That’s roughly it.”
Cao Guowei said anxiously: "No, Mr. Jing..."
Jing Gao made a gesture to stop him from speaking, "The current situation is that Sina Weibo has ignored Phoenix Fund's request for control and evaluation. So, what should I do after acquiring Webo? This does not mean that one person takes responsibility and everything is over.
My goal is to make everyone who follows Ali Sanctions Phoenix Fund feel fear! This can prevent irrelevant people from jumping in to take sides in the next war with Ali.
Therefore, I will clear out Sina's board of directors and management. It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. What's important is that I do it. "
Cao Guowei wanted to say, what the hell kind of bullshit logic is this? Isn't it just killing the chicken to scare the monkey? I just happened to catch up. What are you talking about "Three-body"! But after all, he couldn't scold Jing Gao. Right and wrong have their own merits. This time he kicked it onto the iron plate. He lowered his head and pursed his lips, "Okay, Mr. Jing, I understand."
Jing Gao stood up and shook hands with the two of them, "Goodbye."
Jiang Zi was at the door, leading Cao Guowei and Wang Gaofei out.
The word "goodbye" means: never see each other again.
…
…
The moon and stars are sparse, and the cold night is cold.
Cao Guowei and Wang Gaofei walked out of the courtyard, and there was a car parked at the door. The two of them did not rush to get in the car, but leaned against the car and lit cigarettes.
Wang Gaofei looked back at the closed villa, recalling the time they were rejected when financing, and said bitterly: "Old Cao, we are not without the strength to fight..."
Cao Guowei shook his head and said lonelyly: "Old Wang, forget it. After all, the arm can't twist the thigh." For a moment just now, he thought Jing Gao was easy to talk to. over thinking.
"Old Cao..."
Cao Guowei came back to his senses at this time, "What do you think he meant by suddenly mentioning Liu Cixin's science fiction Three-Body Problem? One is to emphasize his will to kill us, and the other is to explain the reality: the gap between us and the Phoenix Fund. Lao Wang, you Is it mean to say he was mean to us just now, or with the arrogance of a winner?"
Wang Gaofei hesitated and shook his head. Jing Gao's performance is actually very graceful. If it were him returning as the king, his mood swings would definitely be huge.
But it is precisely because of this demeanor that it appears to be extremely cold, ruthless, and disappointing! My hands are dark.
Cao Guowei sighed and said, "Let's go!"
Scenes from the past came to mind.
…
…
The news that Jing Gao wanted to purge Sina's board of directors and management quickly spread, and the world was shocked! How many people have followed Alibaba and Galaxy to ban Phoenix Fund?
