Qiu Yongliang is a reporter from the Economic Daily. On the evening of December 3, he was waiting at the "Jinyi Inn" in Building 51-52 of the Wuzhen B&B. There were many colleagues around him, about 20 people, holding Long guns and short cannons were waiting for the big guys who were eating food and drinking in the inn.
Hearing NetEase CEO Ding Sanshi shouting inside, "Stop talking about mobile phones." Qiu Yongliang and his colleagues couldn't help laughing. At the same time, I feel envious and sighing!
Look, this is fucking life!
They, the little reporters, can only wait in the cold wind outside, watching the big guys drink and brag through the window, and wait for the Internet big guys to come out and say a few words, so tonight's stay will be considered in vain. People really have different fates.
Qiu Yongliang was sighing with emotion. It was about nine o'clock when several Internet tycoons headed by Meituan Wang Xin came out together. A group of reporters rushed up to interview, "Mr. Wang, what food are you eating this year?"
"Mr. Wang, I just heard people shouting not to talk about mobile phones. What do you think of the popularity of the mobile phone industry?"
Wang Xin usually likes to comment on domestic business hot spots on "Fanfou", but now he waved his hand, turned around and left.
Of course he knows what topics can and cannot be discussed. This kind of big bosses are gathering together, and he talks loudly in front of the media. What kind of person has he become? I’m really touched, you can post it in your circle of friends.
At this time, another group of Internet giants left, including Ma Huateng, Lei Jun, Yang Yuanqing, Liu Qiangdong, etc. It seems like I need to form a separate game. Qiu Yongliang thought for a while and quickly followed over to take a look. This year’s NetEase dinner party is almost over.
…
…
The guests have dispersed, and the cups and plates are in a mess. Inside the B&B, Jing Gao and Ding Sanshi were sitting at the table chatting.
Jing Gao specially came to Wuzhen to attend a meeting this year. He came here just one day after returning to the capital. He really wanted to communicate with Ding Sanshi. He just made an appointment with Li Yanhong to have tea together later. Liu Qiangdong and Wang Xin are going to form the "Dongxing Bureau". Liu Qiangdong just invited him to a banquet in person, but he refused. He just said that he and Brother Dong would make an appointment to chat alone in the past two days.
Without him, Dongxing Bureau is all companies related to Tencent. What's he going to do? In fact, he and Tencent are potential competitors. Moreover, his Orange Delivery and Meituan are competing against each other and are competing fiercely in public. With the successful listing of Uber on Hong Kong Island, the market is very optimistic about Phoenix Group’s incubation of Orange Food Delivery, which gave it a very high valuation in its recent Series C financing.
Orange Takeout carried out Series C financing in mid-November 2017. The capital that made a lot of profits from Uber’s investment poured in crazily and pursued it. Orange Takeout, which was only established at the end of April, raised US$2.5 billion in Series A financing. , US$6 billion in Series B financing, pushed up to US$15 billion.
You know, when Jing Gao bought Baidu Waimai from Baidu, he only spent US$820 million. At this time, the market share of Orange Food Delivery is still lower than that of Ele.me, and it is still far behind the industry leader Meituan.
This is called the wealth code! The Internet is indeed a capital operation, a place where everyone can make huge profits!
"Mr. Ding, it seems that you are not the only one who wants to have a dinner party this year! They are all talented people, so I won't let you be the prettiest." Jing Gao drank Yuqian Longjing and said with a smile. He now spends tens of millions on tea every year, specializing in collecting high-quality tea.
Ding Sanshi was a little fat and wore glasses. He said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, you are trying to be polite. In fact, after my dinner party became popular, it has now become a vanity fair. It has attracted a lot of media attention. Don't come. There is no status. Come on, I feel uncomfortable watching Fatty Ding sit in the master's seat.
NetEase actually cannot afford to be the leader of the Internet. The real Internet bosses will be squeezed out. It's normal for them to find another place to get together again. However, in my opinion, dinner socializing may not become popular again. "
Jing Gao placed the tea cup on the dining table, leaned back slightly on the chair, and said with a smile, "I would like to hear the details."
Does he know who the Internet boss Ding Sanshi is talking about? Ali’s Ma Yun! Xiao Ma is actually very low-key and rarely appears on TV or gives interviews. Therefore, even though the Internet world is collectively known as "BAT", with the decay and decline of Baidu, it seems that only Mr. Ma, who loves to make famous sentences in various activities, is the leader of the Internet industry overnight. handle.
Not long ago, Mr. Ma starred in the movie "Gong Shoudao", which fulfilled his martial arts dream. It even made the film and television circles shout "Daddy Ma!"
Of course, Wuzhen's geographical location, who first launched the initiative of the Internet Conference, and its ranking on the rich list are all called Jack Ma's high spirits. He said it himself, he does not take the presidential salary but does the job of the president.
However, the big guys in the Internet industry collectively rejected Ma Yun. Don’t meet him for parties or drinking in Wuzhen. Of course, this further highlights Ali’s dominance and ability to rival the rest. One of the reasons is not excluded: Teacher Ma really knows how to speak. Most people can't say anything about him.
At events at Internet conferences, it can basically make people very embarrassed. For example: Our goal is to create thousands of JD.com.
Ding Sanshi was talking happily and said: "First, from the perspective of Internet products, there is no long-lasting product, there is a product cycle. This year is already the fourth year of my dinner party. There are still a few more years to come. ?
Second, when a market is swarmed, how many days can it last? This can be seen clearly from the business trajectory since the reform. "
Jing Gao couldn't help but smile, "Your perspective is very novel! It makes sense. Everything will turn to the extreme, and it will decline when it reaches its peak. To be honest, I don't plan to come here next year."
The Wuzhen Internet Conference is now almost on track. Most of the big leaders stopped coming. Then there is no need for him to come to the meeting again.
Ding Sanshi spread his hands and said with a smile: "Haha, look!" He raised his tea cup again, "Is there a chance to get together with Mr. Jing today? On a winter night in a small town, making tea and discussing heroes, how pleasant! I don't know Mr. Jing What do you think of the current Internet landscape?
Oh, as an aside, if Coolpad mobile phone is launched, there may be market conflicts between the two companies founded by A Duan and BBK. They are very low-key, but their strength is extraordinary. You have to be careful. "
Jing Gao smiled and nodded, thanking him and saying, "I know." This was actually nonsense. Because, as the domestic mobile phone market has developed to this day, who among the remaining domestic mobile phone manufacturers still has no real skills?
Ding Sanshi obviously doesn't understand the domestic mobile phone market. Although Huawei can become the leader in the mobile phone market, Huawei has actually started making mobile phones as early as 10 years ago. They also iterated and worked hard step by step.
The domestic mobile phone market has long been a red ocean. Competition is extremely fierce. Market share, if someone takes one more bite, someone will take one less bite. Samsung has been squeezed out of the Chinese market. Therefore, Coolpad’s mobile phone strategy is to first market overseas and then the domestic market.
Of course, Ding Sanshi reminded him out of kindness, and he appreciated it. The disciples brought out by the business godfather Duan Yongping have a very obvious business style. Its inherent business core value is: duty.
This is a word that carries many meanings. From what Jing Gao understands, the general meaning is that if you make good products and are responsible to consumers, there is no need to engage in crooked deceptions, and wealth will come naturally.
And how to choose the right product track? For example, if your private enterprise goes into the steel industry, it will definitely lose money. Therefore, it is called: Dare to be the queen of the world. Wait for others to understand the business logic of this industry before entering and making money. This strategy is used in making telephones, CVD, mobile phones, and the BBK series.
This is a very powerful set of business logic, which ensures that Duan Yongping can ride the wind and waves and rise rapidly in the turbulent business world after the reform.
To paraphrase the saying of Zhang Zhenren of the Longmen School of Taoism: A few words of truth are passed down, but tens of thousands of books are passed down falsely.
Of course, you have to understand that this is not the only key to wealth. But today's world is not a problem of lack of information at all, but a problem of too much information, making it impossible for people to choose. The fact that Duan Yongping can bring out such a disciple and carry forward his business outlook in relevant fields shows how awesome he is.
In Jing Gao's opinion, this is better than being a jackpot who always brags in front of the public. Of course, he had talked with Aduan about Alibaba's corporate culture, and from Aduan's understanding, the Six Meridians Divine Sword and some of his understandings reached the same goal through different paths.
But Jack Ma doesn't preach to the public and solve their doubts. He talks in a vague and confusing way, which is very characteristic of businessmen. The approach of Duan Yongping, a business godfather of a generation, is that he does not argue with others, but talks when it is possible. If the negotiation is not possible, everyone will stop contacting him.
This is very noble. As the saying goes: It is easy to attain the Tao but difficult to believe; it is easy to believe but difficult to practice. The Tao is right here, it’s up to you whether you believe it or not. I don't force you. If you believe this, it’s up to you whether you do it or not.
Therefore, even though all of Aduan's remarks are public on the Internet, few people can really learn the essence. Here's why.
Jing Gao took a sip of tea and said: "The current trends in the Internet are nothing more than bike sharing, live broadcasts, and short videos. What do you think, Mr. Ding?"
He believed that Ding Sanshi still had some thoughts when he mentioned this topic.
