The next day, the Internet Conference was held as scheduled. A large number of industry leaders gathered together, and many media's long guns and short guns had already been set up.
In this short period of three days, this small Jiangnan town has undoubtedly become a major focus of the general public's attention.
It is difficult for ordinary events to compete with this annual Internet industry event in the field of public opinion. The popularity is enough to cause some celebrities to change their plans and announce them at another time.
At this moment, if the world's total traffic can be described as one stone, then the Wuzhen Summit's attention in the field of public opinion can be described as monopolizing five dollars.
After all, this is an annual dish, and many big names appear in public every year. The sparks and topics created between each other can be said to have increased exponentially.
This unique portion has made it enough to become a topic of conversation for many melon-eaters after dinner in a short period of time.
Under the great attention of the general public, topics related to Wuzhen have also occupied hot searches in a short period of time and become one of the most popular topics on major platforms.
Of course, the discussion about the Wuzhen Summit was just a piece of cake. The various content of the long meeting during the day was not even an appetizer for the general public, and there were very few people who were interested.
Especially on the first day of the Wuzhen Summit, in addition to the opening ceremony, there was an official plenary meeting.
During the banquet, the top leader who was busy with everything delivered a speech remotely, setting the tone and main theme of this Internet conference, and then came the speech of the heavyweight leader...
It can be said that there is not much to say about it, so there is no need to go into details here, and I will briefly mention it for now.
As for the real highlights, such as the discussions at the major sub-venues, they are all scheduled for the next two days. Among them, Zhou Dongsheng took the stage to deliver a speech on the theme of one of the sub-venues.
For the thousands of guests attending the conference, they can also choose the topics they want to listen to and understand based on personal preferences and industry divisions...
These so-called twenty sub-meeting halls are quite similar to setting up a stage and everyone is sitting together to talk.
For Zhou Dongsheng, the plenary meeting and leadership speeches on the first day were very enjoyable and he benefited a lot. He just had to write a 10,000-word summary of the meeting on a whim.
Until night falls, the small town in Jiangnan shrouded in darkness seems to be a Jiangnan girl covered with a hazy veil, but it has a unique flavor.
Although the organizer also held a welcome dinner called "Wuzhen Night" to welcome thousands of guests from all over the world, it was a great pleasure to have friends from far away.
However, this noisy dinner was obviously not the highlight of this Wuzhen night. A group of people made a symbolic appearance at the dinner, and then began to leave with excuses in a tacit understanding, disappearing one by one from this large-scale dinner.
.
Then a group of people walked together in groups of three or three, and all arrived at the unshakable base - Jinyi Inn.
As the World Internet Conference has gone through four years, Jinyi Inn has become famous all over the world with the aura of "Wuzhen Dinner" and has become one of the holy places that many netizens must visit when visiting Wuzhen.
Rounding things off, for the store owner, Ding Sanshi is undoubtedly the God of Wealth, so naturally he has been waiting for a long time and enthusiastically invited everyone in.
In addition to the boss who has been waiting for a long time, a group of media reporters who have set up long guns and short guns on the other side are also waiting for a long time.
As the protagonists entered the scene, the media also focused their cameras on the Jinyi Inn opposite. For such a group of Internet tycoons, even the media gave the most basic respect and did not rush to disturb them.
Maintain a relatively restrained distance.
The so-called Wuzhen dinner party was originally a private leisure gathering for a group of big guys. There was nothing major that was worthy of a big fight, and there was no need to close the doors and windows. Instead, the windows were opened generously and magnanimously, without making it difficult for reporters from the other side.
Yes, at least they can do business.
As the perspective zoomed in, the big guys appeared at the dinner one after another. Even the seats were not too particular. They were seated in a first-come, first-served order.
And the first words of most people who came to the scene were not about industry trends, or discussing the future of the Internet. Such high-level topics have already been heard by the big guys who had been meeting for a day.
My ears are calloused.
It's a rare opportunity to relax, so naturally it's best to "not talk about business", and even the big guys who stand at the top of the industry pyramid have not reached an otherworldly state.
Therefore, the first thing most people say when they show up is to ask straight to the point: "Old Ding, what are you going to eat tonight?"
"I didn't eat any of the dinner. I kept my stomach open to wait for your big meal tonight."
"I came here just for Mr. Ding's Weiyang pork. I have admired it for a long time, and today I finally have the opportunity to feast on it."
Such gags occurred one after another, which made the dinner full of laughter. Although many people at the table had direct or indirect business competition relationships, it did not prevent everyone from being in the same room at this time.
In the Jianghu, wherever you look, there are so many fights and killings, it's all about human nature.
"Well, I guarantee that everyone will be satisfied. I not only brought Weiyang pork today, but also specially arranged a chef, which will definitely satisfy everyone. The menu is here. If you are interested, you can take a look..."
Ding Sanshi said enthusiastically.
"Come on, let's take a look..." Mr. Lei, a famous online singer who became popular on the Internet with his single "Areyouok", was the first to reach out and take the menu.
I was feeling technical for a while, and on a whim, I came up with a list of dish names for everyone, showing off my solid basic skills.
"Steamed crab fish, plum fish, hairtail fish, yellow croaker wrapped in bean curd skin, crab tofu, crab with red paste..."
"Hey, Lao Ding, this menu is okay, but why is it all the flavor of your hometown? It contains private goods, right..."
"I'm the host of this. Naturally, it's my favorite hometown food. I want to promote my hometown food..."
The few of them were like old friends for many years, chatting and joking in a very familiar manner, without any inkling.
As for this Wuzhen dinner, in addition to a lot of old faces, it may be worth mentioning that the appearance of some new faces added a lot of color to the dinner, and even the scale was much larger than in previous years.
Many of the new faces appeared under the leadership of Xiao Ma. They all appeared together, including Liu Qiangdong, who had never appeared at the Wuzhen dinner in previous years. In addition, there was another person wearing glasses who looked slightly...
Shy new face.
Zhang Yiming, the leader of Toutiao Department!
Zhou Dongsheng sat aside and looked at the new faces with great interest. When he saw Dongzi with an honest face, his mind couldn't help but think of the fresh "Jade" wearing an orange vest from the past.
According to.
There was also the fate of being reduced to a unit of measurement. This subtle feeling almost made Zhou Dongsheng laugh out loud.
Liu Qiangdong, who seemed to be unaware, looked at Zhou Dongsheng and did not notice the strangeness in his eyes. He nodded to Zhou Dongsheng very friendly. Although the two sides had never met, they were both in the world.
It is naturally impossible for people not to know each other.
Now it's just a formal meeting and a mutual acquaintance.
In addition, when Zhou Dongsheng and Zhang Yiming's eyes met, Zhang Yiming's eyes narrowed, showing a harmless smile, and he also nodded.
Although Zhou Dongsheng is only a strategic investor in Douyin's short video, it is an established fact that the two parties have fought a bloody battle in the short video field, so it is reasonable to have some subtleties.
Other than that, Yang Luyu was sitting next to Zhou Dongsheng as if nothing had happened.
However, even the parties involved in the once sensational 3Q war, Xiao Ma Ge and the red leader Zhou Hongyi, were able to shake hands and make peace, and gathered together peacefully.
In comparison, the relationship between them is just a normal competition with a small fight.
Therefore, there was naturally no tense atmosphere during the banquet. However, with the appearance of new and old faces, the bustling crowd filled the entire box, and for a while it felt a bit crowded.
Although the combined wealth in the hands of all these people has easily exceeded one trillion, but looking at it, everyone at this dinner party is ordinary and no different from ordinary people.
Judging from the lineup, this Wuzhen Dinner seems to have reached its peak. However, the general trend of the world is that if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite.
As Wuzhen Dinner enters its fourth year, it seems to have reached a fork in the road.
Zhou Dongsheng also vaguely remembered that after the Wuzhen Dinner was talked about for several years, it gradually began to go downhill, and even gradually disappeared from the sight of the general public...
However, just as Zhou Dongsheng was thinking about it, Liu Qiangdong, who had just arrived and was still hot on his buttocks, took the initiative to talk to Ding Sanshi after taking a symbolic photo.
"I have long admired Mr. Ding's reputation at the restaurant. This time I came here to pay a special visit. I will not eat any more. Mr. Wang and I left first because we still have something to do. Let's all have a good meal and drink..."
Wang Xing, who was on the side, also stood up, smiled, picked up a glass of rice wine and said proactively: "It's a bit abrupt to leave early. Mr. Liu and I will give ourselves a drink as a token of respect..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Sanshi didn't wait for a response, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. After putting down the glass, he smiled and cupped his hands.
The smile on Ding Sanshi's face did not change, and he still said to himself: "Oh, why do you two have to be so polite? You are just a guest, there is no need to be so intrusive. If you have something to do, please do it, and I won't keep you here...
"
However, the two people leaving together seemed to be just a signal, which made the atmosphere at the dinner table particularly delicate. After that, many new and old faces got up and left the table one after another with excuses.
It's okay if one or two people are in trouble, but if so many people are in trouble, it's obvious that there must be something wrong when something goes wrong.
If they hadn't used their chopsticks yet, one could not help but wonder if there was something wrong with the dishes at this dinner, and a group of big bosses had collectively suffered from "food poisoning"...
Not to mention, if this kind of episode happened at the Wuzhen Dinner Party, both the topicality and the effect of the program would be full of people. I don’t know how long it will be talked about by the general public.
But obviously, the theme of the drama played out during today's banquet is not the dishes, but "the drunkard's intention is not the wine".
Especially the people who left the table one after another all have a common characteristic...
That is to say, more or less, they all belong to the Tengda series!
Although there is no coincidence, it becomes inevitable when there are too many coincidences. At this point, it is obvious what the meaning of this scene is.
Although Xiao Ma is still sitting there as an old man, it is obvious that he is the key figure in this scene.
All the big guys present were human beings, so it was impossible not to realize this. However, everyone was used to seeing big winds and waves, so they didn't make a fuss. They just tacitly maintained a silent attitude of watching from the sidelines.
He just picked up the vegetables.
But out of the corner of his eyes, he looked at Ding Sanshi and Xiao Ma. It was obvious that they were the protagonists.
Ding Sanshi still had a smile on his face, just like Maitreya Buddha. He poured two glasses of rice wine by himself, handed one to Brother Ma, and said cheerfully.
"Lao Ma, if you have anything to do, go ahead and go ahead and I'll toast you." After saying that, he took the initiative to drink up the glass of wine.
Brother Ma was gentle and polite, pushed up his glasses, stood up with a smile, drank the wine in one gulp without hesitation, and then put down the glass and said.
"I really have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Ma did not immediately turn around and leave. Instead, he looked aside to see Zhou Dongsheng, who was watching the show with great interest, and suddenly spoke.
"Dongsheng, we are all fellow villagers. Let's walk around more when we have time..." After leaving such a meaningless sentence, Brother Ma walked away.
For a while, Zhou Dongsheng became the focus of everyone's eyes. After all, Brother Ma would never make a mistake, so his words probably meant something.
In the eyes of the outside world, Zhou Dongsheng, who is currently in the limelight, is a typical grassroots self-made man, but in the eyes of many caring people, he has many labels attached to him.
Perhaps the most noteworthy thing is that the opportunity for him to appear at the Wuzhen dinner for the first time was personally promoted by Ding Sanshi...
As Brother Ma said these words before leaving, the subtle atmosphere at the dinner suddenly became more subtle.
Zhou Dongsheng looked surprised, as if he didn't expect that he would be suddenly named by Brother Ma.
When he thought about it, Zhou Dongsheng didn't feel there was anything wrong with it at all. Instead, he touched his head and felt a sense of pride in his heart.
Good guy, didn’t you expect that you are so important now? Have you become the target of recruitment by big bosses?
They all play the fellow card with themselves, which is a bit unexpected, but the recognition from Brother Ma is not an achievement.
And as this good show unfolded before his eyes, Zhou Dongsheng finally remembered that on top of the World Internet Conference, besides the famous Wuzhen Dinner, there was indeed another talk-about dinner.
It was called "Dongxing Bureau" in history. Although it was named Dongxing, it was actually only Xiao Ma who followed his lead.
"Why, is your kid okay?" While Zhou Dongsheng was thinking, Ding Sanshi asked cheerfully, holding a wine glass, the smile on his face not diminishing.
"Is there anything more important than eating? This man is a man of iron rice and steel. If he doesn't eat even one meal, he will starve. It's such a big deal, and that has to be done after eating."
Zhou Dongsheng said nonchalantly, then mentioned the iced Coke as if nothing had happened and clinked it with Ding Sanshi's wine glass.
When Ding Sanshi heard this, the smile on his face couldn't help but become a little brighter.
"That makes sense, eat and eat..."
Everything during the dinner was as usual, except for the changes in personnel, there seemed to be no difference.
