Chapter 477: Opening a new chapter for Chinas Internet, Zhang Shuo makes a groundbreaking statement!
Compared with the uncle's groundless accusation, Zhang Shuo's response is obviously more qualified.
It’s also more organized.
Not only did he receive warm applause at the scene, but after Zhang Shuo finished his speech, some people actively asked questions.
"I admit that I was excited by what Mr. Zhang said, but how do you explain Weixin's blocking of the magic treasure link before?" The first person to ask the question had bad intentions.
"When Weixin blocked the magic treasure link, it was not a proactive act, but a reciprocal retaliation against Ahri for obstructing the cooperation between Baishi Express and Pinxixi."
Zhang Shuo had long been calm, "Of course, although there was a reason for the incident, it cannot be said that Wei Xin did the right thing. Therefore, after Ah Li complained, Wei Xin immediately released the block on the magic treasure link.
"
"If you make a mistake, correct it. If you are beaten, stand upright."
"But what I don't understand is why some peers take monopoly behavior as a matter of course, or even think that it is an advantage of themselves?"
This is Inner Ali again.
"Mr. Zhang, are you referring to the fact that Mobao does not allow the use of Weixin for payment?"
Some people simply made it clear, but they were just watching the excitement and did not think it was a big deal.
"This is certainly one of those situations."
Zhang Shuo didn't want to show too much hostility towards Ahri, and he didn't want to turn this speech into a fight between Ahri and Moya. The situation would be too small.
"Kemobao is Ahri's e-commerce platform and is owned by Ahri. It should be Ahri's freedom to choose any payment method. Does this also constitute a monopoly?"
Some people don't understand and think Zhang Shuo is making a mountain out of a molehill.
Let's be more straightforward.
I just want Weixin Pay to enter the magic treasure. In the final analysis, it is out of self-interest.
"Ali's freedom is true, but it deprives consumers of their right to choose."
How can Zhang Shuo be so easily questioned? He explained: "Consumers have the right to choose which platform to shop on, and naturally they also have the right to choose which method to use for payment."
"This is a basic right that consumers have."
"Just like when we spend money in an offline supermarket, we can choose to use cash, a credit card, or payment tools such as Weixin Pay."
"Supermarkets cannot deprive customers of their right to choose, so how can e-commerce platforms do it?"
"Uh, this..."
The questioner said a few words, but Zhang Shuo was rendered speechless.
More people were stunned.
Yes, when shopping in supermarkets, customers can freely choose the payment method. This is common sense in life, but why does it become unworkable when it is moved online?
This in itself is counterintuitive.
"By default, consumers can only choose one payment method, or even forcing consumers to use only one payment method is a deprivation of consumers' right to choose."
"It is also an act of the platform taking advantage of its dominant position to implement monopoly."
"Today, the platform can force consumers to use only a certain payment method. Tomorrow, can it force consumers to only choose a certain express delivery company or a certain pickup method?"
"As far as I know, there are already many couriers on the Benniao network that do not provide door-to-door delivery services. Consumers can only passively accept picking up their packages at fixed locations."
"Does this count as a deprivation of consumers' normal rights and interests?"
"And the platform dares to do this, blatantly infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, leaving consumers with no choice but to passively accept it. Isn't it taking advantage of its market dominance?"
"So, the result of monopoly is the continuous erosion of consumer rights."
"I also heard that in Mobao, many consumers will automatically jump to the Huabou interface even if they use Zhifubao to pay. Isn't this a harm to the rights and interests of consumers?"
"To put it nicely, it's about building an ecosystem."
"To put it bluntly, it is actually building a moat, hoping to keep all consumers in their own sheepfold. Shopping, borrowing, traveling, socializing, etc. are all inseparable from the ecosystem of one company."
"Is this normal?"
Zhang Shuo continued to use all his firepower and criticized Ahri almost completely, exposing the nature of Ahri's monopoly.
"They say the customer is God."
"But in the Internet age, how come consumers have become sheep in a sheepfold, without the right to make independent choices? Shouldn't this be condemned and subject to supervision?"
After the words fell, the scene was completely silent.
Some were shocked, while others were thoughtful.
"If there is no supervision and restraint, and this situation is allowed to develop and spread, then there is only one future for China's Internet, and that is - the big fish will not only eat the small fish, but also the shrimps."
“It has fattened a giant but damaged the future of countless small and medium-sized innovative enterprises.”
"If the Internet industry is all monopolized and controlled by giants, then the giants can easily share the huge profits from the monopoly just by sitting back and enjoying the results. How can they have the motivation to continue to innovate?"
"If the giants themselves do not innovate, small and micro enterprises will not be able to succeed."
"If this continues, the entire industry will become rigid and stagnant. When the dividends of the era are exhausted, it will inevitably fall before the threshold of the next era."
“Shouldn’t this cause us to be sufficiently vigilant?”
The more Zhang Shuo talked, the more excited he became, even a little heartbroken.
Because he remembered the unbearable scenes of the original time and space, where the giants were willing to degenerate and become entangled with each other. The entire industry went from being full of vitality to becoming lifeless as if overnight.
Not only the big three like Tengda and Ahri have character jumps, but the same goes for Mold Tuan.
Especially the character jumps.
After reaping the traffic bonus of short videos, he quickly changed from a dragon slayer to a new evil dragon. He continued to use his huge traffic advantage to extend his tentacles into advertising, e-commerce, education, games, literature, film and television,
Various fields such as food delivery, local life, and Internet finance are eager to squeeze out the value of the last bit of traffic.
The appearance of eating is not ugly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! To put it nicely, it means monetizing traffic, but to put it ugly, it means that it is not enterprising and no longer focuses on technological innovation. Instead, it focuses on consumers all day long, thinking about China.
Three melons and two dates in the common people's pockets.
The truth is hard to describe.
"I believe that if China's Internet industry wants to achieve rapid development, it should gradually move toward openness, rather than toward closure, and everyone should beggar their neighbors and build moats."
"It should be healthy competition, not malicious competition without a bottom line."
"It should be a matter of a hundred schools of thought contending, rather than a chorus of thousands of horses. It is necessary to give birth to Internet giants, but also to leave a living environment for new entrepreneurs. The giants cannot look too ugly."
"It should be consumer-centered, rather than capital-driven and just thinking about cutting leeks."
"It should be about going out, rather than enclosing your own territory."
The last paragraph almost mentions the names of so-called giants such as Ahri and Tengda. It has a feeling of hating iron but not steel. This is rare in Zhang Shuo's previous speeches.
It is not surprising that Lu Kai and Lu Qi in the audience were a little surprised. Neither of them expected that the big boss would be so powerful today and have an invincible aura that could conquer the entire industry.
"well said!
"
Zhang Shuo's heartfelt speech once again ignited the enthusiasm of the scene. Everyone, including those who didn't like Zhang Shuo very much, were unconsciously infected by the atmosphere and clapped along.
Because Zhang Shuo's speech contained a majestic power.
What is pattern?
This is called pattern!
What is horizon?
This is the vision!
And all along, Zhang Shuo's brilliant achievements and actions under his leadership are undoubtedly supporting Zhang Shuo's speech in disguise. It is not a high-profile speech, nor is it empty talk.
Zhang Shuo said so, and Mo Ya did the same.
Unity of knowledge and action.
Only in this way can Zhang Shuo's words resonate so much at the scene.
And this scene will definitely be recorded in the history of the World Internet Conference and become the most classic and unforgettable scene of this conference.
Let’s talk a little higher.
Zhang Shuo's speech today undoubtedly pointed out a new development path and drew a new development blueprint for the future development of China's Internet.
And this itself is one of the original intentions of holding the Internet Conference.
Very appropriate.
It is not surprising that after the discussion in the sub-venue ended, no one wanted to leave. They lined up to exchange business cards with Zhang Shuo, shake hands and take photos.
For those who didn’t know, I thought it was some kind of large-scale star chasing scene.
Even Lu Kai, Lu Qi and other budding executives who attended with Zhang Shuo suddenly became popular.
Such a grand occasion is truly rare.
………
Not only at the scene, Zhang Shuo's speech also set off a new wave of public opinion online.
“Wonderful, really wonderful!
"
"Let's make a judgment!"
“Compared to the uncle’s selfish hatred, the cute king has a big picture from beginning to end!
"
"It's time for some shepherds to wake up. Don't always think that the moon abroad is rounder than at home."
"If you think about it, capital is all bloody. How can there be peace and quiet overseas? Even if there is, it belongs to the rich. Ordinary people should not follow suit."
"King Meng is right, monopoly means breaking the line, and you should be punished, severely punished!
"
“I hope the relevant departments will pay attention to it and not let it be ignored!
"
"Weixin has already released the shield on the magic treasure at the first time. On the other hand, Ahri has not made any changes so far. The uncle is still pretending to be a victim. This is really..."
"It's just arrogance. I've been used to it so much that I don't know how high it is!"
"King Meng's speech really touched my heart. I thought before that Ahri, Tenda and other giants had problems, but I couldn't explain it. This time King Meng made it clear."
"Yeah, isn't Ahri a good guy? If you have the ability to go overseas, what's the use of just being a good guy in your home?"
Unlike the Internet conference where many people still supported the uncle's views, after the news spread, the Internet was generally flooded with condemnation of Ahri.
It can be seen that the eyes of the masses are sharp.
Such a wave of public opinion undoubtedly made the uncle's plan to put pressure on Su Ya through the Internet conference completely failed, and instead made Ahri a joke in the industry.
It's really like stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
It is reported that after learning about Zhang Shuo's speech, the uncle was so angry that he threw the tea cup on the spot, but was unable to refute. He left Wuzhen that day and was not even ashamed to stay to attend the closing ceremony the next day.
It can be said that it is so embarrassing, so embarrassing.
………
Contrary to the uncle's fate, Zhang Shuo suddenly became the focus of the Internet conference.
He can cause a stir wherever he goes.
However, Zhang Shuo did not raise his eyebrows. All subsequent discussions in the sub-venues were left to Lu Kai, Lu Qi and others to attend, and he did not appear in public again.
It wasn't until after the closing ceremony that Zhang Shuo had a low-key dinner in Wuzhen.
Originally, the only people invited were familiar friends such as Third Master, Rebus, Red Lord, Brother Dong, Wang Tao, etc. Unexpectedly, because Zhang Shuo made a big splash at the conference, he made Second Master, Chairman of Wangyi, and Warwick Mobile
The person in charge, Yu Dong, and other elders in the circle also came uninvited.
The standard of the dinner suddenly rose to a new level.
You can imagine what kind of sensation this dinner party photo would cause if it were posted on the Internet. Many people joked that this was the most expensive dinner party on the Chinese Internet so far.
The total net worth of everyone is probably over one trillion.
That’s scary!
Of course Zhang Shuo is not stupid. He didn't do any group photos at all, it was just a simple get-together.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little strange.
A speech made by Zhang Shuo before was really too shocking and humiliating to Ahri. The key point was that it pointed out various shortcomings in China's Internet industry.
This is tantamount to unveiling the mystery of China’s Internet false prosperity in one fell swoop.
This is not what many people like to see.
It is conceivable that if it cannot be properly handled, the stock prices of many companies will plunge again.
But the good thing is that Zhang Shuo is not an ordinary keyboard warrior who just points out problems, but also gives very specific suggestions and opinions for the future development of China's Internet industry.
It seems to depict another very exciting future.
This is so intriguing.
That's why, after the second master and others learned that Zhang Shuo was planning a dinner, they lowered their status and joined eagerly one by one, just to find a chance to have a good chat with Zhang Shuo.
Especially the second master was eager to get some kind of answer from Zhang Shuo.
Unfortunately, Zhang Shuo is not a god. The advice he can give is actually a general direction, but it is still a bit general in nature. How to do it specifically is still very difficult to operate.
Especially for a company of Tenda's size, even if it wants to transform, it is not that easy.
Not to mention talking about it.
Regarding the matter of going overseas, Zhang Shuo had suggested it to the second master a long time ago, but didn’t the second master also not adopt it?
This shows how complicated things are.
In addition to the Internet thing, the two "rivals" Rebus and Yu Dong were everywhere at the same time, which also made the atmosphere of the dinner a little bit awkward.
Zhang Shuo, however, had no intention of becoming a peacemaker.
He knows that the dispute between Warwick and Xiaomi is essentially a dispute over commercial interests.
There is no possibility of reconciliation at all.
If there is, it is just a hope that the two leaders, Rebus and Yu Dong, can draw something for reference from Zhang Shuo’s views on the Internet industry.
For example——
Focus mainly on overseas competition rather than infighting in China.
Back then, Zhang Shuo took advantage of Zhulong Technology, fingerprint unlocking technology and other opportunities to take the lead and wanted to organize a local mobile phone industry association in China to coordinate disputes between local brands.
The association was established as scheduled, but obviously it was not able to truly play a coordinating role.
What needs to be fought is still fought.
No way!
In this case, Zhang Shuo will naturally not be a thankless person and become a peacemaker.
Moreover, Zhang Shuo is now worth the most in China, but in terms of entrepreneurial qualifications, whether it is Rebus or Yu Dong, they are actually above Zhang Shuo and are Zhang Shuo's seniors.
Zhang Shuo is even less qualified to be a peacemaker.
All these factors lead to the fact that this dinner was a thrilling one. Zhang Shuo was not only tired of his stomach, but also tired of his heart. He made up his mind——
I won’t have any dinner parties next time, what are you planning on doing?
………
The next day, Zhang Shuo and his party left Wuzhen in a low-key manner and returned to Binhai City.
I met my second uncle again on the weekend.
"Your speech at the Internet Conference caused a great response." Tang Yi also got straight to the point.
"Uh, isn't it too outrageous?"
Zhang Shuo was also worried that a big tree would attract trouble, so he kept a low profile throughout the meeting.
Except for that shocking speech...
"It's so outrageous that it doesn't count. As long as it's truthful, there's nothing that can't be said."
Tang Yi understood the rules more thoroughly, "The most important thing is that your speech also gave some inspiration to the relevant departments and helped them make up their minds."
"Second uncle, what determination are you referring to?"
Zhang Shuo was slightly startled and vaguely guessed something.
"You'll find out soon enough."
Tang Yi didn't point it out, he just smiled and picked up the tea cup.
