"In 2001, when I was a senior in college, I came to "Beiqing Daily" for an internship."
"After experiencing various departments, I finally chose the Entertainment News Department as my destination. My leader at the time was Yu Jiajia, who was the director of the department. Later, I recruited her instead..."
"Hahaha!"
Yao Yuan stood on the stage and recalled the past seriously.
In fact, he doesn't make many public appearances, and he doesn't make any shocking speeches. The main role is well established, and he has realized all the awesome things he has boasted about. He is not too mean to netizens - compared with his peers.
Coupled with his superb appearance and various factors, he is as popular as he is today.
"At that time, the first wave had stopped, winter was coming, investment was sluggish, and the domestic Internet industry was also at a trough. Fortunately, the operators stepped in to help. Tencent, Sohu, Sina, NetEase, Tom... were able to survive that period.
In the cold winter, it all depends on the rapid expansion of the SMS industry relying on the mobile phone market."
"At that time, I also joined in, scraped together some money, built a very simple personal website, and started a text message business. And relying on the director's reputation, I rented a utility room in the newspaper building... Well, this is it.
!”
On the big screen, a dilapidated small room, three or four tables, and several computers appeared.
Today's theme is: past, present, future.
The five previous groups of people have already talked about nostalgia. Yao Yuan didn’t want to repeat it any more, so he stopped here. He introduced his entrepreneurial experience and then turned to the present.
Now it’s very simple, let’s talk about this year’s performance.
The big screen clearly displayed: "300 million community users!"
“Maimai users are 320 million!”
“Weibo users are 270 million!”
“WeChat has 51 million users!”
“The total number of game users exceeded 140 million!”
Then there is the estimated revenue. Due to the lack of advertising, there is a serious bias. Communities, Weibo, and WeChat are all losing money. Only Maimai estimates revenue of 3 billion through value-added services.
But the game is exaggerated. A big 12.5 billion is printed on the screen, stimulating everyone's attention!
There are also individual items below: "Dungeon and Fighter" 3.6 billion, "Zhu Xian" series 1.7 billion... Among them, overseas mobile games are highlighted, with revenue of 3.9 billion yuan...
"It's a tie!"
Far away in Penguin headquarters in Shenzhen, Xiao Ma, who was watching the live broadcast, stood up abruptly, feeling a huge panic filling his body.
Social networking is the foundation of Tencent, and games are the core, almost entirely relying on games. The estimated revenue of Tencent games this year is almost 12 billion!
There was still a gap between the two sides last year, but this year, they are even!
Thinking of the defeat of WeChat not long ago, Xiao Ma was a little depressed for a while.
It is always said that Tencent relies on strong social channels to attract traffic to games, which is not entirely true. Some games need it and some don't. Tencent Games has formed a mature system and can promote itself.
After entering the mobile era, this distinction will become more obvious.
For example, if "Sheep Got a Sheep" needs to attract traffic, then it can be built on a WeChat mini program. For example, "Tianya Mingyue Dao", a large-scale martial arts PC game, can be promoted normally.
Of course, Xiao Ma didn't think so much at the moment. He lost the WeChat battle and the game was tied. He just felt a shadow hanging over him.
Although Tencent still has nearly 10 billion worth of value-added services and its overall revenue is stronger than the other party, the other party is not complete. This is just the social + game part, as well as e-commerce, entertainment, and mobile phones!
Brother Xiao Ma has always thought that his industry is huge, but it turns out that 99 is really huge!
"..."
The reaction at the scene was even stronger. The entrepreneurs were okay. The celebrities all stared at the numbers with wide eyes, shocked and drooling.
They can't imagine how a game, a game, can make so much money?
This is not the future, Fan Xiaopang can pay 800 million, Wei Ya was fined 1.3 billion, the money is like waste paper. In short, the stars looked at Yao Yuan with awe, hunger, greed, and hatred for him.
Marry young.
The focus of Yao Yuan's part is not the past and present, but the future. He listed his achievements and said a few transitional words. The big screen changed and a line appeared: "What will we look like in the next 10 years?"
As the music started playing, a short video started to play, and it was another commercial CP: Hu Ge and Liu Yifei.
At night, the office building is brightly lit.
Hu Ge looked like an elite white-collar worker. He was working overtime on a project. He checked the time after working for a while, stopped temporarily, and called out: "Hello, Xiaoxi!"
"I am here!"
The mobile phone placed aside suddenly lit up, and a sweet female voice came out.
"Open [Pocket Viewer] and cut to the living room."
"OK!"
As the voice fell, the camera showed a living room, a cute camera indicator light flashed, and then it switched back to the mobile phone, and the living room scene actually appeared on the screen.
Liu Yifei is wearing a white housecoat, revealing a round calf, and is sleeping on the sofa...
Hu Ge smiled and said: "Turn on the speaker and play "Pig Song" by Jin Sha!"
"OK!"
"Pig, you have two holes in your nose, and you still have snot when you have a cold. Pig, you have pitch-black eyes, and you can't see anywhere when you look..."
Jin Sha's voice echoed in the theater, and some people couldn't help laughing. Hu Ge and Jin Sha were also a couple in "Myth".
"Um?"
Liu Yifei was awakened by the singing, her hair disheveled and confused, and then she found the culprit, a smart speaker on the table.
She pouted, touched a Meizu phone, clicked on WeChat, and selected [Video Call].
Hu Ge's face appeared on the phone.
"Hey, wife!"
"When will you come back?"
"I'll be back in a while, be good."
"Really for a while?"
"Really, about more than an hour."
"Oh, then I'll cook!"
Liu Yifei scratched her head, looked out the window at the dark night, and muttered: "Xiaoxi!"
"I am here!"
"Draw the curtains!"
"OK!"
She got up and walked from the living room to the kitchen, as if she had walked from reality into a science fiction movie. With her control, the curtains slowly closed, the ceiling light automatically adjusted the brightness, the sweeping robot began to work buzzingly, and the humidifier also started to work.
Puff puff puffing out water vapor...
She was busy in the kitchen for a while, and while waiting for the soup to be made, she returned to the sofa in the living room.
Turn on the smart TV, and it is no longer a traditional TV station, but a selection of options: movies, TV series, variety shows, animations, games...
Liu Yifei chose the movie "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and there was a huge logo on the top: Maili Video!
"Brother Xiaoyao, I won't die. I want to stay with brother Xiaoyao..."
"Ling'er!"
"..."
Zhao Ling'er fell into Li Xiaoyao's arms with blood on her face and said her last words. Liu Yifei shook her head and sighed: "Oh, your acting is really bad!"
"Ha ha!"
All kinds of plays within plays made it very enjoyable for everyone to watch.
As Liu Yifei watched, she suddenly slapped her head, picked up her phone, clicked on the mall, and selected [Maiwo Home Delivery]. There was a clear line on it: Delivery to your home in 1 hour!
Sure enough, not long after, the doorbell rang.
She looked through the smart video doorbell, opened the door, took a bouquet of roses, happily inserted it into the vase, and placed it on the table.
On the other side, Hu Ge finally finished his overtime shift.
He was driving the car on the streets of Beijing at night, and halfway through he received Liu Yifei's voice: "The meal is ready!"
"Thank you for your hard work, I'm going back too!"
"Well, I'll wait for you!"
"..."
After hanging up the language, Hu Ge turned on the phone, and suddenly a different wake-up tone came: "Classmate Xiaoxi!"
"I am here!"
This time it's not the mobile phone, but the car's display that lights up.
Hu Ge showed a wicked smile: "Turn on the water heater!"
"OK!"
"drop!"
At home, the water heater in the bathroom started to boil water. Liu Yifei, who came to check, put her hands on her hips, blushed, and snorted.
Finally, Hu Ge returned home. The two hugged, ate, and played music to cheer up the atmosphere... And at the end, another line of big words appeared: "In the next 10 years, make life better!"
"..."
After the short film was played, the scene was quiet for a while before applause broke out.
Although the photo is very nice, does it have anything to do with you? Didn’t you introduce your future development plan? Aren’t you an Internet company? What are you going to do now?
Making a science fiction movie!
There are also countless friends and businessmen outside the venue who are paying attention to this party, especially Lao Ma and Xiao Ma.
Due to commercial confidentiality, it was impossible to disclose the specific development plan, but they hoped to find some clues. As a result, Yao Yuan directly played with a concept.
In the next 10 years, let’s make life better, my dear sister!
"Many people may think that I made a science fiction film, but this is really our future goal."
Yao Yuan came back on the stage, looking at the radishes underneath, full of satisfaction from playing, and said with a smile: "Today is not a press conference after all, it is a 10th anniversary celebration, so I will briefly talk about it."
Three words appeared on the big screen: 4G, Internet of Things, Ai!
"The advent of the mobile era is undisputed, and everyone is busy moving. We are also busy transferring our PC products to mobile phones and continue to serve users in the form of Apps.
The carrier of the App is the mobile phone, and the basis for the operation of the mobile phone is the operating system.
Meizu has its own developed Flyme, which forms an ecosystem with the Flyme system as the core and social networking, games, e-commerce, and entertainment as the content.
So, is this ecosystem big enough?
I think it’s not enough, it also has room for wireless expansion, and the basis for supporting this space is the three words on the screen.”
"Some people may ask, is it too early to talk about 4G since 3G has not yet been fully popularized? It is not early at all. I believe that the 4G era will come soon and will be more disruptive than 3G.
To put it simply, the faster the Internet speed, the more functions can be achieved.
The concept of the Internet of Things was earlier, proposed in 1999. Simply put, it allows devices to be connected to the network for intelligent identification and management.
Its applications are very broad, ranging from the stars and the sea to the humidifier at home. Just like the short video just now, an ecosystem with IoT products as the core has been formed.
These two ecosystems are superimposed. What is the most convenient way to manage them?
Artificial intelligence technology!”
Yao Yuan looked at the dumbfounded people in the audience and said with a smile: "The Internet gives people the impression of being frivolous, messy, and nouveau riche, but this is just the content on the platform, not the Internet itself.
The Internet has been a high technology since the day it was born. Now people don’t think it is high technology because they are too accustomed to it.
We must evolve with the development of the times, bid farewell to the money trapping of standing still, break everyone's habits, and let everyone re-experience the novelty, excitement and admiration when they first came into contact with the Internet.
Of course, if you really want to achieve the effect of the Internet of Things, 4G is far from enough. 5G or even 6G will do. Artificial intelligence cannot be developed just by talking about it.
We just want to move forward in this direction, be bold and cautious, work hard and be in awe, hoping to make some insignificant achievements.
This is what we want to achieve in the next 10 years!”
"Whoosh!"
These words aroused warm applause from the audience, and everyone resonated with him.
10 years ago, surfing the Internet was considered fashionable. Just touch the mouse, tap the keyboard, and add a QQ friend and you would be excited for a long time. But now? It seems that everyone is trapped in a circle.
For example, group buying is the hottest industry in recent years and is considered novel, but it is only based on online shopping and is still mixed in the online shopping circle.
Ten years from now, this feeling will be even stronger.
Except for a short video that broke the circle and truly changed the landscape, there hasn't been a product that "makes people think it can change the times" for a long, long time.
Maybe Gpt is one, but Gpt is too young and its future is unknown.
What Yao Yuan said may seem high-end, but it is actually Xiaomi’s ecosystem.
What is enough for 10 years? Nothing is enough. At most, we can develop an artificial intelligence at the level of "Xiao Ai Classmate", and it will become mentally retarded at every turn.
But that doesn't stop him from showing off, because the general direction is right and he will follow this trend in the future.
And he agrees with the above and understands the spirit of the central government: In 2009, the Internet of Things became one of the country's five emerging strategic industries and was written into the government work report.
Establish a character!
In the past we were dreamers, in the future we are businessmen, and when we reach the top we are people's entrepreneurs...
Yao Yuan's part is over and it's Liu Qiangdong's turn.
The mall was not entertaining, it was dry, and it was easy to leak secrets if I talked too much, so I didn’t give it too long and it was done in half an hour.
During the spare time, Liu Weiwei and Wensha stepped forward to introduce Tudou Live.
"..."
Jiang Chao looked at Liu Weiwei babbling on the stage, turned his head first, and asked Cheng Wei: "Brother, when did Mr. Liu come to the company?"
"I think I'm with Mr. Yao. It seems that we were both interns at the newspaper office and were attracted by Mr. Yao."
"Oh, it's 2001?"
"right!"
"There weren't many people at that time?"
"Yes, one person can do the work of several people, but that's called starting a business. People are often the most passionate at that time, but they lose motivation when their business gets bigger."
Cheng Wei sighed with emotion, and Jiang Chao nodded in agreement: "Yes, the days of shared adversity are the most unforgettable!"
After saying that, he suddenly approached Yao Yuan and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Yao, what was Mr. Liu responsible for at that time?"
(Two in one, no longer divided into chapters. There you have it...)
