Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 1035 Sparks Splash (4K)

The scenery of Lin'an on June 6 was very good.

After all, the scenery of West Lake in mid-June is not the same as the four o'clock.

This Internet industry symposium has brought many big names in the industry. In the past few years, almost all search overlords, portal websites, e-commerce, Chinese and foreign executives, industry losers, etc. have not been present.

One is that this year's environment is special, and the other is...many people really want to watch the fun.

Just after the news that the head of Yike confirmed his attendance at the meeting came out a few days ago, the scenery of Lin'an suddenly became very attractive.

From last year to this year, there are two noteworthy phenomena within the industry. The first is that the mobile Internet led by 3G smartphones is becoming more and more revolutionary, and the second is that the booming e-commerce is far from reaching its peak. Newly established brands such as Eslite Store and Vancl Eslite have shown strong vitality.

It just so happens that these two phenomena that can bring infinite potential have a lot to do with the head of Yike.

Of course, it must also be admitted that Mr. Fang, who has just stirred up the financial situation, is not only in competition with Mr. Ma of Ali, but also has a bad relationship with Mr. Ma of Penguin. This kind of spark of meeting in the same field is something everyone is happy to see.

It would be even better if Mr. Fang could talk about his experience in the United States.

Sure enough, as soon as Mr. Fang showed up, there was a change in Ma Dian and Ma Huateng who were chatting. Some sharp-eyed people noticed that Ma Huateng wanted to turn around, but Ma Dian patted his arm before standing where he was, while Mr. Fang was walking all the way. Say hello and come straight to the landlord.

Mr. Fang is not alone, he is a group of people, and there are many people who know each other, so it is inevitable that there will be some pleasantries, and the movement will be louder.

However, following the movement here, the Penguin executives who came to the conference together this time gathered around their bosses.

"Hey, hey, look, look, Arhat, Five Tiger Generals and Fang Pai have met."

The people who eat melons stand in a good position and pay close attention to the gathering of the three families.

In recent years, with the development of the economy and the listing of companies, the domestic business community has some interesting titles.

The Eighteen Arhats of Alibaba are very famous. Although some people quit, it is still used by the outside world to refer to Ali’s core executive team. Similarly, the Five Tigers who founded Penguin have also been updated. Liu Chiping and others who joined later are getting more and more have status.

The name "Fang Pai" first came from Li Jiacheng, the richest man in Xiangjiang. He once used such a term to the media after the fund failed to invest in the bank. It was not widely spread at the time, but it was gradually used in the past two years. Send" "Yike Department" and "Yike Shantou" to talk about a group of companies that help each other.

Bingxin is the favorite enterprise of the head of Yike. Yike and Yigou, which start with the word Yi, are two big mountains. The implementation of YMS seems to have affected domestic Android manufacturers as well.

The emergence of such a territory outline, although the "Fang faction" is not as regular as the "Eighteen Arhats" and "Five Tiger Generals", it is a little loose, but it also has a good influence. Xing and Yike Huaxia Liu Qiangdong are all well-known titans in China in the past two years.

Oh yes, Wang Fengyi, a well-known investor who was also present at the scene, also represents a group of investors who are in collusion with the "Fang School".

"President Ma, Pony, long time no see." Fang Zhuo, with a warm smile and brisk steps, finally met his old friend.

Ma Dian laughed and shook hands: "Mr. Fang, you are famous all over the world these days. You haven't seen me. I see you every day on the news."

The smile on Ma Huateng's face was relatively weak, and he just nodded.

"I came back this time to see you, just to look at Taobao's record in June. Oh, the news often writes about me recently. Speaking of this, I happened to meet Pony. The company reacted to me several times, saying Penguin Portal The news is biased." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "It's not good, it's okay to write scribbles abroad, the penguin is so big, the influence is not good."

Ma Huateng frowned, he didn't know about this, but suddenly there was the familiar malice from Mr. Fang in front of him.

Xu Chenye, one of the five tigers behind him, said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, what you said is unreasonable. We have been reprinting relevant content from foreign media for a while, and we have already reviewed and screened it. After all, Yi Ke The impact is so great, we have to report 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. Everyone knows how to report it. Why bother? Yike won a big victory this time. Are you very disappointed?"

Wang Xing's Xiaonei.com was acquired by Penguin Micro-Innovation. Fortunately, the dirt reincarnated continued to use Weibo to make rapid progress, and he was always simmering in a fire. He didn't want to bear anything at this meeting, so he just spoke out.

Fang Zhuo turned his head and glanced at Wang Xing, why the young man is so angry, everyone just go over happily.

Wang Yan, who called Wang Xing over this time, also glanced at the CEO of Weibo, admiring in his heart, as expected of Mr. Fang's weapon, which is Li Suoha.

Xu Chenye frowned slightly: "Mr. Wang, if you are so prejudiced and presuppose a position, there is nothing to talk about. If you insist on saying this, Yi Ke has been criticized so much abroad. You should go to them to negotiate with them as soon as possible, Penguin Didn't say 'fraudster', that's what the Washington Post said."

Penguin's new Five Tigers general Liu Chiping also answered at this time: "Mr. Wang, you should understand us. When Penguin bought Friends.com, Penguin didn't even mention the word 'fraudster', let alone now?"

These are all the high-level executives who flew to the capital in person to talk about the acquisition before, and they still have fresh memories of Penguin's rare failures in the past few years.

Seeing that Wang Xing was not seasoned enough, Wang Yan, the president of Sina who was in charge of the portal, frowned, and said slowly: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Liu, I want to criticize your work for not being solid enough and rigorous enough."

He saw that everyone looked at him because of this sentence, and continued: "The Wall Street Journal said this, and the reporter who ignored the facts was also fired afterwards. We are a door in China, and we can't just think about it." Eye-catching, you must speak based on the facts, you always think of the former, and now you are wrong in front of the parties, can you do it?"

Xu Chenye couldn't remember clearly, but he couldn't admit defeat, and counterattacked: "Mr. Wang, the main contradiction must be grasped. The "Wall Street Journal" is indeed not as good as Sina. At the time, Xu Changlun, the editor-in-chief of Sina, was also the representative of Sina's "Qi Ying Fang". It’s a good talk in the industry, and we Penguins are ashamed.”

This was a past event related to a hostile takeover. Wang Xing had never experienced that time, and he held back his words just as he thought about it.

Wang Yan frowned: "The main spear..."

Liu Chiping, who was born in Goldman Sachs, interrupted, and said vividly: "Yes, it is indeed a good story. Now, I remember it verbatim."

He showed off his memory skills: "The first item, 'Fang Zhuo, who is hypocritical and despicable, can't make Sina succumb'. Sina's words are much bolder than our penguins."

Mr. Ma, who was watching from the sidelines, almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Cough, Mr. Liu has a really good memory. This "Mr. Seven Ying Fang", I can only remember the title of the last report sporadically. ""Beautiful vision" or something.

Liu Qiang, the president of Yike Huaxia who was also silent, glanced at the head of Ali. This man surnamed Ma is not a good person. It is not kind to not make a sound in such a scene.

Liu Chiping continued to show his talent: "The second point, the irrelevant president and president of Yi Ke..."

His eyes met the gaze of Fang Zhuo, the former richest man in the world, and his mouth suddenly twitched, and his whole life froze.

"Martin." Fang Zhuo said, using Liu Chiping's English name, "Pony thinks highly of you, so don't bring Goldman Sachs style into Penguin. Besieged."

Wang Xing took advantage of the situation and said, "If Mr. Liu hadn't been there, our Friends.com would not have been sold."

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 well."

Wang Xing's opponent was always convinced, nodded silently, and took half a step back.

Fang Zhuo glanced over, and the scene was silent for a while.

The former richest man in the world has done great things in the past two months. The fund was liquidated, the crowd was tied up, and Yike, which was almost banned for sale, made a comeback, which is amazing.

Such a character, it's hard not to maintain due respect.

Even if Liu Chiping has become more and more the second in command of Penguin in the past few years, what he said just now is to refute Wang Xing and Wang Yan. He is talking about Sina instead of targeting Mr. Fang. He already feels that this is inappropriate and wants to apologize. I also feel that the atmosphere is not suitable.

Ma Huateng said calmly: "Mr. Fang, you have gained experience from being besieged. Penguin can't be ups and downs like Yi Ke's. My heart can't stand this."

"If you can, who would like to have big ups and downs? However, as the old saying goes, Bao Jianfeng comes from honing, Yi Ke is like this, like Wang Xing, he is also like this, Weibo is very good this year, I think it can compete with Penguin for users .” Fang Zhuo laughed.

Ma Huateng glanced at Wang Xing, Weibo was indeed developing rapidly.

However, compared to Weibo's threat to penguins, the biggest threat is Mr. Fang + Weibo.

After four, five or two months, how to deal with Fang returning to China is always a headache.

In the past, Mr. Fang did that without money, but now Mr. Fang returns to China with money, why not do this?
Ma Huateng wanted to discuss the matter of Weibo, but he didn't want to listen to Mr. Fang's lies.

Fang Zhuo met his old friend, but the conversation was very interesting: "I told Wang Xing on the way here that Weibo has to learn from Penguin, and use more multi-dimensional methods to capture the users attracted by social media."

Liu Chiping's heart moved, and he said, "A more dimensional way?"

"It's not a new thing. I still think that social media and instant messaging are not one or the other. Aren't people using these two functions? Since people are users, why do they have to use them separately? Weibo This year, we will vigorously build communication functions within the platform, which requires learning from Penguin." Fang Zhuo talked eloquently.

Wang Xing next to him also nodded, Mr. Fang said that he was deceived strategically.

A group of high-level Penguins made eye contact, and now the booming Weibo is indeed a high-level internal concern.

Although Dating.com failed, Qzone was successful, as were Facebook and Twitter overseas. Users are human beings, and they have social needs.

Wang Xing entered the social battlefield for the second time. This time he neither stole food nor grabbed parking spaces. However, it was difficult for Penguin Weibo to catch up. This made him think more during internal discussions. He felt that the menacing Sina Weibo was very domineering. .

The Internet is updated very quickly, its prosperity is booming, and its death is also sudden. Now there is the rise of the mobile Internet. This is a very serious problem.

The last time Ma Huateng bought Youyou.com was because Mr. Fang announced that he would build a PC software-side friend.com, and this time he heard similar words and sighed: "Mr. Fang, why do you want to touch our newsletter? .”

"It's different this time." Fang Zhuo smiled. "Last time we considered the computer terminal, but Penguin's advantage was really daunting. But now that there is a mobile terminal, we have to try it anyway. This year we will let Weibo Penguin asked for advice."

Ma Huateng nodded: "President Fang is welcome to challenge."

"I haven't really thought much about it recently. This time, Wang Xing took the initiative to invite Ying." Fang Zhuo said to Wang Xing, "Shake hands with Pony, the past is over, and everyone looks forward."

Wang Xing stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

Ma Huateng shook hands gracefully.

The scene was calm, but the executives on both sides were thinking about a head-to-head confrontation within the year. In particular, Penguin's Weibo should be stepped up, and Sina Weibo should not be allowed to grow so unscrupulously.

Fang Zhuo also reached out to shake hands with his old friend, leaving behind the unhappiness 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's best for Weibo to be listed in China, otherwise, Mr. Fang won't be able to go abroad, and the Weibo bell ringing ceremony will be regrettable."

The glorious deeds of Zhongwang, the king of retail investors, are still criticized by foreign organizations and media. It is said that Mr. Fang has security and legal considerations when he returns to China.

After watching the lively horse shop, he laughed and said, "Mr. Fang, Pony, I have long said that a small acquisition needn't be so unpleasant. In this symposium, everyone is waiting to hear your talk about swords in the West Lake."

"Pony, you see Mr. Ma is very happy. It must be because the expectations of June [-] are very good." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "In the past few days after I returned to China, the investors of Tesco dragged me and said that I must contact Taobao. Let's compete to see who is the number one e-commerce company in China."

Ma Huateng admitted Penguin’s failure positively this time: “Paipai.com was sold out by Taobao, and I’m curious whether e-buy’s heavy assets can counter Ma’s assertion.”

Paipai.com couldn't realize Penguin's traffic advantages, and it was getting worse and worse, unable to keep up with the pace, and it was close to death internally.

"Okay, Taobao also welcomes competition." Ma Dian said bluntly, "I want to see how many fronts Mr. Fang can open with the money he earns this time."

Yike’s financial battle is indeed amazing, but returning to business competition, Taobao has no opponents to fear in China, just like Penguin, it is a proper traffic overlord.

The challenge from Mr. Fang needs to be taken seriously, but the confidence that should be there is still full.

The blue waves of the West Lake are rippling and the water vapor is dense, but it can't hide the sparks of one side fighting two horses.
