On December 5, 2017, the Wuzhen Internet Conference came to an end. Apart from business matters, the hottest news in this area was that on the night of the opening on December 3, after NetEase Ding Sanshi’s banquet, Internet tycoons also formed a new group called Dongxing. Bureau".
Except for Pony Ma who sits in the chair, Wang Xin of Meituan and Liu Qiangdong of JD.com who sits on the east side, the other Internet industry tycoons include:
Hillhouse Capital Zhang Lei, Kuaishou Suhua, Mobai Wang Xiaofeng, Meituan Dianping Wang Huiwen, Zhihu Zhou Yuan, 58 Yao Jinbo, Jinshajiang Venture Capital Zhu Xiaohu, JD Finance Chen Shengqiang, Lei Jun, Lenovo Yang Yuanqing, Sequoia Capital Shen Nanpeng, today The headline is Zhang Yiming.
Economic Daily reporter Qiu Yongliang posted a review article in his WeChat Moments in addition to normal publishing, explaining the dinner party.
"As a reporter who has been covering economic news for a long time, I have interacted with many big guys in the Internet industry and asked them questions. I have also witnessed major moments in the Internet industry in recent years, such as Uber changing hands and acquiring Didi. .From my perspective, let me briefly mention three points!
First, the dinner party of the big guys is a cultural scenery behind the hustle and bustle of the Internet conference. As for whether it is beautiful or not, people know whether it is warm or cold when drinking water. As spectators, we can only say that eating melon is really lively and fun.
The Dongxing Bureau reappeared after the NetEase dinner party this time, which shows that in the grand Internet event in Wuzhen, the big bosses from all parties no longer let NetEase dominate the previous ones, but began to organize their own dinner parties and start a joint venture.
So, the second point I want to make is that the core of this dinner called "Dongxing Bureau" is actually Tencent.
In the world of the Internet, there are roughly several forces. Among them, venture capital must be considered the most important. And in the Chinese Internet we are in today, the top venture capital is not Hongbin (China) or Gao Ling Capital. But "BAT".
Of course, now it is "FAT". The Phoenix Group, which relies on Uber to occupy a place in the Internet world, and its Phoenix Fund is the top domestic venture capital today, with extremely strong strength. They are also shaping Internet myths one after another. For example : Orange Takeout, inherited from Baidu Takeout, is currently valued at US$15 billion.
Hence, as long as you understand the role of venture capital in the development of Internet companies, you can understand why the core of Dongxing Bureau is Tencent.
This involves Tencent's strategic layout. They now tend to hold about 20% of the shares of related companies, or less. In short, they do not pursue absolute control, which is different from Alibaba.
Therefore, among the companies present, such as Meituan and JD.com, Tencent has strategic investment. And emerging Internet companies such as Kuaishou have grown because of Tencent’s continuous capital investment.
Hence, it is not difficult for us to understand why Tencent sits in the middle. It is not difficult to understand why this dinner party can be organized and why so many Internet giants can be brought together?
This dinner party, in today's interconnected Internet world, is more like an alliance against Alibaba. As we all know, Alibaba is now the best in the Internet world. Mr. Ma is unparalleled. As for whether it is true or not, we
Let’s wait and see.
The third point, following the above point, is that even though there is a glue like Tencent, in Dongxing Bureau, the big bosses are seemingly inseparable, each has his own calculations, and each has his own business that needs to compete. For example,
The competition between Toutiao and Tencent is increasingly intensifying.
From these details, we can get a glimpse of the entire Internet arena, which shows that today's Internet arena is already a world of ups and downs and turbulent undercurrents. For us ordinary people, what we need to do is to enjoy the fierce Internet competition that brings us
The good thing is, continue to observe and guess who will be the next hero of wealth, who will be the king and the number one master in the world. This is a very interesting thing."

This article by Qiu Yongliang has been widely circulated in the circle. Even though the articles written by insiders are simple, they are basically correct, and the questions raised are also thought-provoking. It is very mature to read. Many
The big guys are retweeting it.
When Jing Gao and Liu Qiangdong met for tea at a hotel in Wuzhen on the morning of December 6, Liu Qiangdong specially recommended this article to him.
With Liu Qiangdong’s circle of friends, it is of course easy to get this 100,000+ high-priced article, but Jing Gao’s circle of friends is very narrow. He really doesn’t know about this article. He sat in the luxurious living room of the hotel and copied the article.
After reading it, he smiled and said: "I will go back and add this reporter's WeChat account. What he wrote makes sense."
Liu Qiangdong was forty-four years old at the time, considered very young among the Internet tycoons. He was wearing a tie, sitting on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, you just read this article now. By the way,
At this point, are you interested in joining the Huaxia Alumni Association? Just to expand your circle of friends? I can introduce you."
Da Qiangzi could naturally feel the goodwill of Mr. Jing of the Phoenix Group towards him, so the atmosphere of the meeting initiated by him today was very harmonious. He originally flew out of Wuzhen last night. But in order to meet with Jing Gao, he put aside other matters
They were all pushed away.
Jing Gao has been very involved in the business in the past two years, winning every battle! He has heard about some of the top circles in the Chinese business world. It is strange that he has not heard about it at his level.
Now is no longer the era of the four major clubs in Beijing, but the era of top business circles such as the "Chinese Entrepreneurs Club", "Huaxia Alumni Association", "Jiangnan Club", and "Taishan Club".
Jing Gao said with a smile: "I'm not very interested. I'm ready to quit the Internet business world. Next year's Wuzhen Internet I will prepare the heads of their respective companies to attend. I believe they are also qualified. Isn't it Yu Chengdong who came to Huawei? But , I am quite interested to know, what are the requirements for joining the Huaxia Alumni Association?"
Since joining Huawei, some of the things Jing Gao has been thinking about have answers. Some of Mr. Ren’s methods are indeed very clever! Jing Gao has long wanted to hide from the public eye and concentrate on his own life! And he The management of an enterprise does not necessarily have to be done externally, as long as it is well managed internally. Just like Mr. Ren, this will greatly save his time and cost.
Liu Qiangdong was slightly surprised and explained: "Mr. Jing, as long as the Huaxia Alumni Association has attended the CEO classes of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business and China Europe Business School, you are still taking classes at China Europe Business School, aren't you? Speaking of which, we are considered alumni. Ah! With your qualifications in the business world and my recommendation, you can definitely pass. If you can't pass, then there is something wrong with the regulations of the Huaxia Alumni Association."
Da Qiangzi is still very good at talking! Jing Gao laughed and waved his hand, "You still have to respect the rules of your circle. I'll forget it. We just keep in touch. I said to quit the Internet industry. I talked to you two days ago I chatted with Li Yanhong from Baidu and he said that Baidu is similar.”
Liu Qiangdong laughed and said, "That's not the case with Baidu, right?"
At the first Internet Conference, there was a famous scene, that is, Li Yanhong was sitting in the middle, and Ma Yun and Liu Qiangdong were sitting on both sides. Liu Qiangdong and Ma Yun were arguing with each other in the distance. Ma Yun shouted out the golden sentence "Alibaba's mission" Just to create more JD.com." At that time, Li Yanhong could be seen picking up the microphone and putting it down again.
Li Yanhong is a person who is very cruel to his entrepreneurial partners and scolds them in private, but he is absolutely gentle and gentle on the stage. Liu Qiangdong has a pretty good relationship with him, at least they are not at odds with each other.
I think back then, when Liu Qiangdong’s relationship with Milk Tea’s sister spread, he responded directly to the media, “It’s fake, it must be Ma Yun who harmed me.” This is really..., hey! Of course he admitted his relationship with Milk Tea with a slap in the face.
Jing Gao laughed and said: "Why not? Baidu's core business now is AI. Lu Qi's allinAi strategy. This area may not be all Internet business. I think Huawei is quite interested in participating. As for autonomous driving, this I interact a lot with hardware companies.”
Liu Qiangdong did not argue with Jing Gao about this issue, but smiled and said: "Mr. Jing, autonomous driving is still a little far away from us, but big data analysis and cloud computing are very close to us. We have also been engaged in research in this area recently. We The logistics delivery system requires technical support in this area. Including the current takeout delivery of Meituan, the core technology is actually based on this. Phoenix Cloud is currently doing well in China, let’s see if we have the opportunity to cooperate.”
"Okay!" Jing Gao agreed, but his heart moved slightly. Tang Xuan, who had been in charge of Orange Takeaway since the night of December 3, told him her admiration in person and even kissed him.
Remember, he has not met with Tang Xuan to discuss work in detail in the past two days. Speaking of which, he and Tang Xuan are too superstitious about the financial strength of the Phoenix Group, and still burn money according to the price subsidy war model. However, Liu Qiangdong
A master in the Internet industry clicked this sentence lightly, and he suddenly understood that in the field of food delivery, the core competitiveness is probably not subsidies. It is big data analysis!
He had to make a phone call with Tang Xuan later. Even though she was already on vacation: Tang Xuan flew back to Jingzhou to sign a divorce with her husband.
