The Wuzhen Internet Conference was founded in 2014 and is already in its fourth session in 2017. The most famous thing about each Internet Conference and what attracts media reporters most is not the agenda on the first day of the conference, but the "
Dinner".
The pioneer was Ding Sanshi, the former richest man. His restaurant became famous instantly in Wuzhen. The most talked about thing was not the taste of Zhejiang cuisine in the small restaurant, but the NetEase self-raised pork he brought.
Because the organizer will hold a cocktail reception at 7 p.m., all guests attending the meeting must give face, but by about 8 p.m., they will go to find places to drink.
Jing Gao was naturally invited by Ding Sanshi. At this time last year, even though Jing Gao came to attend the Internet conference, he was still not able to have a drink and chat with the top industry bosses. However, today's Phoenix Group is definitely a leader in the Internet industry.
A big brother-level enterprise. As the actual leader, he is certainly qualified.
In fact, the big guys in the Internet industry were very considerate of Ding Sanshi's invitation. Although in the Internet 1.0 era, the era of the three major portals: Sina, Sohu, and NetEase has come to an end. But NetEase is not like the two previous brothers.
Falling behind. NetEase’s game business, online shopping, and music are all doing pretty well.
Of course, they are not the leaders in their industries, but they firmly hold the second place in the industry. For example, in the gaming industry, Tencent and NetEase hold the first and second market shares respectively. NetEase’s “NetEase Strict Selection” specifically
For Jingou, Alibaba’s offer was US$8 billion. But this value exceeded Sina and Sohu.
Therefore, Ding Sanshi was able to achieve the status of the richest man back then, not just because he was forced to hold a large number of shares in NetEase. He was really capable. It is said that some outsiders rated Ding Sanshi as the best Internet product manager in the country.
.
The "Jinyi Inn" in Building 51-52 of Wuzhen B&B in Wuzhen Scenic Area is still the same place. When Jing Gao arrived, Ding Sanshi, the host, Microsoft Global Executive Vice President Shen Xiangyang, and Hongbin Capital Global Partner Shen Nanpeng,
Zhang Yimin of Toutiao, Zhou Hongyi, chairman of 360, and Liu Qiangdong, CEO of JD.com, were all present.
"Mr. Jing, I was chatting with Nan Peng. When will you come over? I saw the leader asking you to come over and chat." Ding Sanshi smiled and placed Jing Gao on his left hand.
The dinner is held at a long dining table. There is no issue of seating. Of course, there is also a little meaning. This position is almost considered the position of the most distinguished guest besides the host.
On the one hand, Jing Gao’s identity is indeed one of the best. Among the Internet tycoons who will come over later, the only ones who can compete with him in terms of influence are Brother Xiao Ma, plus the veteran Internet tycoon Li Yanhong. And the relationship between Jing Gao and Ding Sanshi
Not bad indeed.
Jing Gao traveled to the United States this summer, and Ding Sanshi also arranged for him to meet with Duan Yongping from Bubugao. Jing Gao benefited a lot, and Duan Yongping also had a very positive view of Jing Gao. With this friendship, it is natural to have a personal relationship.
Pretty good.
Jing Gao said with a smile: "Mr. Ding's dinner party is so famous in the Internet industry. I will definitely be there when I receive the invitation." The Internet bosses here have chatted and met with the leaders quite often. He has nothing to show off. of.
After scanning around, they are basically acquaintances who have interacted with each other before. Shen Nanpeng, Zhang Yimin, and Zhou Hongyi have all interacted with each other. Only Brother Dong has never met him before.
Shen Nanpeng greeted him politely: "Mr. Jing, let me introduce to you. This is Microsoft Global Executive Vice President Shun Xiangyang."
His Hongbin Capital's investment in the domestic Internet really relies heavily on Phoenix Fund. He would not dare to offend Jing Gao even to death. This venture capitalist who is a powerful figure in the Internet industry and has many honors has the coldness and integrity of an investment bank elite. The elite of business actuaries are very well-behaved, docile and non-aggressive in front of Jing Gao.
Jing Gao smiled and chatted with Shen Nanpeng and Shen Xiangyang. Zhou Hongyi, wearing glasses, came over to chat. Zhang Yimin's Toutiao was suffering from meager competition from Phoenix Group. At the same time, Phoenix Group was still cooperating with Baidu to squeeze out Toutiao. The two of them. The relationship is quite bad. But this is not the right time to fall out. Just smile and nod, which is considered a greeting.
Jing Gao chatted with Brother Dong for a while, smiled and extended an invitation: "Mr. Liu, make an appointment to have tea together."
He still admires Brother Dong who is self-made. In fact, once upon a time, Jak Ma was also an idol of entrepreneurship. But as Jak Ma's various quotes appeared, Jing Gao discovered that he was actually showing off and enjoying showing off a lot of the time. He is happy. He is not really trying to teach those who listen to his speech something truly useful. He is just transmitting some of his ideas.
As for ordinary people, as for Jing Gao, there are many concepts that he does not agree with.
Jak Ma is undoubtedly a wizard in the business field. His ability to reach this point is undoubtedly a verification of his ability and level. But if you listen to Jak Ma talk about life, sociological knowledge, economics knowledge, and even philosophy, this is That's nonsense. Jak Ma's attainments in these fields will not become more sophisticated just because he is the richest man.
On the contrary, Brother Dong sometimes likes to tell some truths. For example: Brother Dong said that the result of all technological progress is to eliminate a group of people from being laid off. Because the essence of technological progress is to increase labor productivity. Therefore, after the rise of e-commerce, All the small shops on the street will be closed.
Liu Qiangdong was a little surprised by Jing Gao's kindness, but at this time JD.com had already established a firm foothold in the competition with Taobao and Tmall, and his bossy demeanor had long been cultivated. He smiled and said: "Okay." He Jing Gao A personal business card was exchanged.
After chatting for a while, other people arrived one after another. Tencent's Xiao Ma, Huawei's senior vice president Yu Chengdong, Meituan's Wang Xin, Baidu's Li Yanhong, Baidu's president Zhang Yaqin, Xiaomi's Lei Jun, Lenovo's Yang Yuanqing et al.
The wine party started soon. The dishes were mainly Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes. The dishes were rich. The main meat dish was NetEase's own pork. There were also hairy crabs, fish soup, crab tofu, stir-fried spinach, etc.
Ma Huateng has a very good drinking capacity and has a lot of words to persuade Jing Gao to drink. He even had a few drinks with Yu Chengdong of Huawei and Lei Jun, the boss of Xiaomi. The reason is, of course, they all make mobile phones.
Ding Sanshi sighed: "Don't talk about mobile phones." NetEase does not make mobile phones, but there is no doubt that the volume, profit, and influence of the domestic mobile phone market today are unparalleled. It is no less profitable than the Internet circle.
A group of people agreed.
Ma Huateng smiled and said: "Let's play a game. We have to say I love you to the person on the left, I hate you to the person on the right, and drink to the wrong person."
Liu Qiangdong responded immediately, "Pony still knows how to drink!"
The others responded one after another.
The reporters outside saw the big guys changing glasses and drinking happily.
