The original color of Lin'an on June 3 was very good.
After all, the scenery of West Lake in June is different from that of the four seasons.
This Internet industry symposium was attended by many big names in the industry. Almost all the search overlords, portals, e-services, Chinese and foreign executives, industry losers, etc. that were not present in the past few years were all present.
Firstly, the environment this year is special, and secondly...many people really want to come and have fun.
Just after the news came out that the head of Yike confirmed his attendance at this meeting a few days ago, the scenery of Lin'an suddenly became particularly attractive.
From last year to this year, there are two noteworthy phenomena within the industry. First, the mobile Internet led by 3G smartphones in Taiwan is increasingly transforming. Secondly, the booming e-commerce is far from reaching its peak. Vipshop, No. 1
Stores, Vancl Eslite and other newly established brands have shown strong vitality.
Coincidentally, these two phenomena that can bring unlimited potential have a lot to do with Yi Science disciples.
Of course, it must also be admitted that Mr. Fang, who has just criticized the financial turmoil, is not only quarreling with Mr. Ma of Alibaba, but also has a close relationship with Mr. Ma of Penguin. This kind of spark in the same meeting is something that everyone is happy to see.
of.
It would be great if Mr. Fang, the person involved, could talk about his experience in the United States.
Sure enough, as soon as Mr. Fang showed up, there was a change in Ma Chen and Ma Huateng who were chatting. People with sharp eyes noticed that Ma Huateng wanted to turn around but Ma Huateng patted his arm and stopped standing, while Mr. Fang decided to go all the way.
Say hello and go straight to the landlord.
Mr. Fang was not alone, he was a group of people. Many people there knew each other, so it was inevitable that they would exchange greetings, which made the movement a bit louder.
However, as there was movement here, Gao Zeng, who had come to attend the meeting with Penguin this time, spontaneously went to his boss's side to check in.
"Hey, bite, look, look, Arhat, the Five Tigers and the Fang Faction have met."
The melon-eaters stood in good positions and paid close attention to the gathering of the three families.
In recent years, with the development of economy and the listing of companies, there are some interesting names in the domestic business community.
Alibaba's Eighteen Arhats are very famous. Although there are people coming in and out, the outside world is still accustomed to using this to refer to Alibaba's core executive team. Similarly, the five-room generals who founded Penguin have also been replaced. Liu Chiping and others who joined later are becoming more and more popular.
The more status you have.
The term "Fang Pai" first came from Li Jiacheng, the richest man in Hong Kong. He once used such a term to the media after his fund's investment in the bank failed. It was not widely spread at the time, but it has gradually been used in the past two years. Some people also use "Yi".
Send "Yike Department" and "Yike Shantou" to talk about a group of companies that can help each other.
Bingxin is the favorite company of the head of Yike. Yike and Yigou, which start with the word "Yi", are the two major ones. Medical science is the old qualification. The foreign ones are Sina, Weibo, Zhihu and Yongke, while Suiruo Yike
Domestic Android manufacturers also seem to be affected by the implementation of YMS.
With the emergence of such a territory outline, the "Fang Sect" is not as organized and loose as the "Eighteen Arhats" and "Five Tiger Generals", but it still has considerable influence. Sina Wang Yan, Weibo King, who is accompanying Mr. Fang this time
Xing Xing, Yi Ke, Hua Xia and Liu Qiangdong are all famous players in the country in the past two years.
Oh, yes, Wang Fengyi, a well-known investor who was also present, also represents a group of investors who are colluding with the "Fang faction".
"Mr. Ma, Pony, long time no see." Fang Zhuo walked briskly with a warm smile and finally met his old friend.
Ma Ren laughed and shook hands: "Mr. Fang, you are famous at home and abroad these days. You haven't seen me. I see you on the news every day."
The smile on Ma Huateng's face was relatively weak and he just nodded.
"The reason I came back this time is to see you, specifically to report Taobao's results in June. Oops, the news has often written about me recently. Speaking of this, I happened to meet Pony. The company has reacted to me several times, saying that Penguin Portal
"The news is biased." Fang Zhuo said with a smile: "This is not good, just forget it if it is written randomly abroad, Penguin is so big, the impact is not good."
Ma Huateng frowned. He didn't know this, but suddenly there was clear malice from Mr. Fang in front of him.
Xu Chenye, one of the five tigers behind him, said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, your words are unreasonable. We
These days, we are reprinting relevant content from foreign media, which has been reviewed and screened. After all, Yike’s impact this time is so great, we have to report it objectively.”
Fang Zhuo looked at Xu Chenye.
Wang Xing, the president of Weibo, heard this and immediately said: "Mr. Xu, there are no reporters here. How on earth did you report it? Everyone knows clearly, why bother? Yike won a big victory this time. In your hearts
Are you very disappointed?"
Wang Xing’s Xiaonei.com was acquired by Penguin Micro Innovation. Fortunately, the reincarnation of the dirty land continued to use Weibo to make rapid progress. I had been holding a ball of fire in my heart. I didn’t want to hold back at this moment and spoke out directly.
Fang Zhuo turned his head and glanced at Wang Xing. Why was the young man so angry? Everyone just went over happily.
Wang Yan, who called Wang Xing this time, also glanced at the CEO of Weibo and admired in his heart, it is indeed the weapon that Mr. Fang must carry with him, Lisoha.
Xu Chenye frowned slightly: "Mr. Wang, if you are so prejudiced and have a preconceived position, then there is no need to talk. If you insist on saying so, Yike is so criticized abroad, you should go to them as soon as possible.
During the negotiation, Penguin did not mention the word 'scammer,' it was "***" that said so."
Penguin's new top five general Liu Chiping also added at this time: "Mr. Wang, you should understand us. When we acquired Friends.com, Penguin didn't even mention the word 'fraudster,' let alone now?"
These are the senior executives who flew to the capital in person to discuss acquisitions. To this day, they still remember the Penguins’ losses in recent years.
Wang Yan, the general manager of Sina who was in charge of the portal, saw that Wang Xing was not sophisticated enough. He raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Liu, I want to criticize your work for not being solid enough and rigorous enough."
Seeing everyone's eyes turned to him because of these words, he continued: "This was said by the Wall Street Journal. The reporter who ignored the facts was also fired after the incident. We are a portal in the country and cannot just think about it.
To gain attention, you have to speak based on the facts. You always think about the former, and now you are saying the wrong things in front of the parties involved. Is that okay?"
Xu Chenye couldn't remember clearly, but he couldn't admit defeat. He counterattacked: "Mr. Wang, we have to focus on the main contradiction. The Wall Street Journal is indeed not as grand as Sina. At the time, Sina's editor-in-chief Xu Changlun represented Sina's seven-year-old president Fang, and he was also a member of the industry.
Nice talk, we penguins are ashamed of themselves."
This was a past incident involving a hostile takeover. Wang Xing had never experienced that time, and the words he had just thought of were choked in his throat.
Wang Yan frowned: "The main spear..."
Liu Chiping, who was born in Goldman Sachs, interrupted loudly and said vividly: "Yes, it is indeed a good story. To this day, I remember it word for word."
He showed off his memory skills: "This first item, 'Fang Zhuo, who is hypocritical and despicable, cannot make Sina surrender. Sina's words are much bolder than us penguins."
Ma Jin, who was watching from both sides and was choking, almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Hey, Mr. Liu has a really good memory. This "Mr. Qi Ying Fang", he can only remember bits and pieces of a report in the Morning Post titled "Excellent Enterprises"
"Home", "Beautiful Vision" and so on.
Liu Qiangdong, the president of Yike Huaxia who was also silent, glanced at the head of Alibaba. This person named Ma is not a good person. It is unkind to not say anything in such a scene.
Liu Chiping continued his acting talent: "The second point, Mr. Yi Ke, the president has nothing to do with..."
His eyes met the gaze of Fang Zhuo, the former richest man in the world, and his mouth suddenly licked, causing his whole life to freeze.
"Martin." Fang Zhuo spoke up, using Liu Chiping's English name, "Pany thinks highly of you, so don't bring the style of Goldman Sachs into Penguin. In the past two years, Penguin's reputation in the industry may be ruined."
Besieged."
Wang Xing took advantage of the situation and said: "Without Mr. Liu, our friend network would not be able to sell."
Fang Zhuo frowned again and criticized: "Wang Xing, don't always remember the past. You can stand here today and let Pony hear your voice, not because of the past, but because of the current Weibo
Very good."
Wang Xing was always convinced by the other party, nodded silently, and took half a step back.
Fang Zhuo glanced across the scene, the scene was momentary
Silence.
The former world's richest man has done great things in the past two months. The fund has been liquidated, the heroes have tied their hands, and the Yike Jedi territory that is almost banned is amazing.
It is difficult not to maintain due respect for such a person.
Even if Liu Chiping has become more and more like the second-in-command of Penguin in recent years, what he said just now was to refute Wang Xing and Wang Yan. He was talking about Sina rather than targeting Mr. Fang. He already felt that it was inappropriate and wanted to apologize.
I also felt that the atmosphere was not suitable.
Ma Huateng still spoke calmly: "Mr. Fang, you have gained experience from being besieged. Penguin cannot have ups and downs like Yike. My heart can't bear this."
"If you can, who wants to have big ups and downs? However, as the old saying goes, a sword is sharpened by sharpening it. Yike is like this. Like Wang Xing, he is also like this. Weibo is great this year. I think it can compete with Penguin for users.
." Fang Zhuo smiled.
Ma Huateng glanced at Wang Xing, and Weibo was indeed developing rapidly.
However, compared to the threat to Penguin from Weibo, the biggest threat is Mr. Fang + Weibo.
After four or five months, how to deal with Fang returning to China is always a bit of a headache.
In the past, Mr. Fang did this and that when he had no money. Now that Mr. Fang returns to China with money, he still has to do this and this?
Ma Huateng wanted to discuss Weibo, but he didn't want to listen to Mr. Fang's lies.
Fang Zhuo met his old friend but the conversation was lively: "I told Wang Xing on the way here that Weibo must learn from Penguin and use more dimensional methods to capture the users attracted by social media."
Liu Chiping's heart moved and he said, "A more dimensional way?"
"It's nothing new. I still think social media and instant messaging are not either/or. Aren't the people who use these two functions still human beings? Since they are human beings and users, why do they have to use them separately? Weibo this year
To vigorously build communication functions within the platform, we need to learn from Penguin." Fang Zhuo said eloquently.
Wang Xing next to him also nodded. Mr. Fang said that the strategy was deceiving.
A group of Penguin's top executives made eye contact, and the now-popular Weibo is indeed a high-level internal concern.
Although the dating network failed, QQ Space was successful, and foreign Facebook and Twitter were also successful. Users are human beings and have social needs.
Wang Xing entered the social battlefield for the second time. This time he neither stole food nor grabbed parking spaces, but it was difficult for Penguin Weibo to catch up. This made people think more deeply during internal discussions and felt that the aggressive Sina Weibo was very royal.
The Internet is updated very quickly, and its rise and fall are also sudden. Now there is the rise of mobile Internet, which is a very serious problem.
The last time Ma Huateng acquired Friends.com was because Mr. Fang announced that he would build a PC software version of Friends.com. This time he heard similar words and sighed: "Mr. Fang, why do you want to touch our communications?
.”
"This time is different." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Last time we considered the computer version, but the advantages of Penguin were really prohibitive. But now that there is a mobile version, we thought we must give it a try. This year we will let Weibo open to
Penguin asked for advice."
Ma Huateng nodded: "Welcome Mr. Fang to challenge."
"I haven't really thought about it recently. It was Wang Xing who took the initiative this time." Fang Zhuo said to Wang Xing, "Shake hands with Pony. The past is in the past and everyone can move on."
Prime stepped forward and extended his hand.
Ma Huateng shook it gracefully.
The scene was lighthearted, but executives on both sides were thinking about the head-to-head confrontation within the year. In particular, Penguin Weibo had to increase its efforts and Sina Weibo could not allow such unbridled growth.
Fang Zhuo also reached out and shook hands with his old friend, putting aside the unpleasantness of the past and starting a new story in the future.
He smiled and said: "pony, I just want to see if Weibo can tell a story that satisfies the capital market and go public as soon as possible."
Ma Huateng replied: "It is best for Debo to be listed in China. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Mr. Fang to go abroad and the Weibo bell-ringing ceremony will be regrettable."
The glorious deeds of the King of Retail Investors last month are still being criticized by foreign institutions and media. It is said that Mr. Fang’s return to China
There are safety and legal considerations.
Ma Ren, who saw the commotion, laughed and said, "Mr. Fang, Pony, I've already told you that a small acquisition doesn't have to be so unpleasant. At this symposium, everyone is waiting to hear your West Lake sword debate."
"Pony, you see Mr. Ma is so happy, it must be that the expectations of June 18th are very good." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "In the past few days since I returned to China, investors from Tesco have dragged me and said that I must cooperate with Taobao
Let’s compete to see who is the number one e-commerce company in China.”
Ma Huateng acknowledged Penguin's failure this time: "Paipai.com was run out of Taobao. I'm also curious whether Tesco's heavy assets can counter Mr. Ma's judgment."
Paipai.com was unable to realize Penguin's traffic advantage. It became increasingly declining, unable to keep up, and internally it was close to death.
