Chapter 3159: Northern Beggar
Chapter 3159: Northern Beggar
Zhou Buqi had no interest in this kind of conference.
Little actual effect.
In the past two years, China has been fond of organizing such world-class conferences. The Internet is actually not so bad, because the domestic Internet industry is indeed very competitive and has a good reputation in the world, and can invite some big names in the overseas IT industry to participate.
Some other conferences are not like this. Although they are nominally international conferences, the people who come are all African friends, and they all come with bowls in hand to beg for alms.
But this Internet conference is of such a high standard that we have to come.
He sat in the lounge with Lao Zhang and chatted.
After a while, Youku CEO Gu Yongqiang also came.
He used to be Lao Zhang's subordinate, but now he has joined Alibaba.
I also want to get close to Mr. Zhou and hope to start some cooperation with Netflix or Ziweixing Global. For example, I want to get the authorization of some Netflix original dramas and bring them back to China... But this is impossible, Netflix will not authorize any of its self-made dramas to other streaming platforms.
This is the first conference and the funding is huge.
There are many forum activities hosted by the company, and many senior executives from foreign technology companies attend.
These foreigners seemed to have made an agreement beforehand. After they came and heard that Boss Zhou was here, they all came to visit him as soon as possible.
This is an eye-opener for everyone.
Especially many staff members present, they are local civil servants, they don't really understand the industry situation, and Boss Zhou's position in the global technology industry. Now they have learned a lesson and witnessed the demeanor of a world-class entrepreneur.
Even "Zhou Buqi" has become a signboard.
For example, a reception team had some unpleasantness when receiving a vice president of Qualcomm due to language misunderstanding. Fortunately, the receptionist reacted quickly and said on his own initiative: "Mr. Zhou is waiting for you in the lounge!"
The tense atmosphere was immediately relieved.
The vice president of Fei Gaotong immediately changed his expression and ran to the lounge to pay his respects.
Later on, the staff got used to it and figured out the pattern.
When important foreign guests come, don't talk about those empty enthusiasms. Foreigners don't care about this, nor do they like these formalistic arrangements. First, bring them to Mr. Zhou and listen to a few words of Mr. Zhou's "teachings", and they will all be obedient.
All the foreigners came to join in the fun, and there were even more domestic colleagues.
In other words, everyone has plans and activities to participate in, otherwise this small lounge where Zhou Buqi is would definitely be crowded.
Even Mr. Jia, the CEO of LeTV, who had never had much dealings with Mr. Zhou, came over with a smile on his face and greeted Mr. Zhou.
The aura is quite strong!
What was particularly eye-catching was that Mr. Jia was accompanied by two gorgeous assistants, which was very out of place. In such occasions, even if other CEOs brought assistants or secretaries, they were all men.
This Mr. Jia is different. He has two beautiful assistants by his side. He looks powerful wherever he goes and attracts many people's attention.
After he had paid his respects and left, Zhou Buqi couldn't help but say, "This Mr. Jia is truly the most proud person in the world."
Old Zhang couldn't help laughing.
I thought to myself, you’re really envious, didn’t you just come back from a vacation in the southern hemisphere?
Speaking of pride, who is prouder than you?
It feels like no matter when I see him, I can always see some of the groom's festive fortune in this guy.
Gu Yongqiang didn't know much about Mr. Zhou's daily life, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Jia is very proud now, the leader of the Five Wonders!"
"What?" Zhou Buqi was slightly startled. "What is the leader of the Five Supreme Beings?"
Gu Yongqiang said: "Some people say that they are the top five masters in the domestic Internet industry, according to Mr. Jin Yong's 'Five Wonders'."
Zhou Buqi's heart skipped a beat, "Is there still me?"
Gu Yongqiang laughed and said, "How can we miss you?"
"What am I?" Zhou Buqi was amused and felt that this generation of netizens had a strong ability to compile stories. "Aura?"
Gu Yongqiang shook his head, "No, this Mr. Jia is the middle master."
"Ah?" Zhou Buqi didn't care how the "Five Wonders" were ranked. Anyway, they were just jokes made up by netizens at random and didn't count at all.
But I am still surprised by Mr. Jia’s statement about “the divine power”.
In the domestic Internet industry, when will it be this kind of people's turn to speak?
For the Internet industry, LeEco is a freak, and many people don’t even consider LeEco to be an Internet company. As for Mr. Jia, he is definitely not an Internet person, and they are in different circles.
Zhang Chaoyang added: "This Mr. Jia has a strong background and great magical powers, so he is called 'Zhong Shentong'."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "That makes sense."
"Guess what your name is?"
"I?"
"You are the 'Beggar of the North'."
"Ha ha!"
Zhou Buqi was really amused.
I am the richest man in the world, with a wealth that is beyond my comprehension...but this evaluation is quite interesting. I have become a beggar?
Gu Yongqiang also found it very interesting. "This is divided according to geographical location. You are from the north, so you are the 'Northern Beggar'."
Zhou Buqi asked, "Then Li Yanhong is from the northwest, so he is the 'Western Poison'?"
"Yes." Gu Yongqiang nodded. "Our CEO Ma is in the east, so he is the 'Eastern Evil'. Penguin's CEO Ma is the 'Southern Emperor'. The evaluations of the two CEOs Ma are quite vivid, and they do have such demeanor."
Zhou Buqi joked, "Well, Old Ma is quite evil... Eh? Where is he? Why can't I see him?"
"He should be very busy. He seems..." Gu Yongqiang looked at him deeply, "He seems to want to be the spokesperson for the domestic Internet industry."
Zhou Buqi said indifferently: "It's a good thing that he has this ambition. He has the qualifications. It doesn't matter who is the Southern Emperor or the Northern Beggar. We can't bring up that mysterious Central God. He is still a party member, and I have no identity at all."
……
The next morning, there was a "public meeting" of Internet giants.
Zhou Buqi also went.
I sat in a row with Mr. Ma, Liu Qiangdong, Li Yanhong, Zhang Chaoyang, Lei Jun and others, answering questions from the audience and reporters. Since Wanda also wanted to do Wanda e-commerce, even Mr. Wang came to join in the fun. The process was quite interesting.
Zhou Buqi didn't participate much.
Even when answering questions, most of the comments were pragmatic, mainly focusing on the idea that "when things are united for a long time, they will be divided, and when they are divided for a long time, they will be united" to explain the principles of the Internet. The Internet was built on free services, and in the coming years, the core direction of Internet services will be paid services.
However, this statement failed to arouse public enthusiasm.
The real climax was the battle between Ma and Liu. A reporter asked about the difference between JD.com and Alibaba.
Liu Qiangdong answered first, boasting about JD.com's values and corporate mission. Then it was Ma's turn, and he showed his strong personal charm, saying: "Ali's goal is to cultivate more JD.com."
Just one sentence killed everyone present.
Even Liu Qiangdong applauded him.
It doesn't matter whether what you say is right or not.
This kind of improvisation and quick-witted response is somewhat at the level of the US presidential election.
After the meeting, Liu Qiangdong wanted to invite Boss Ma for tea and discuss his understanding of e-commerce.
Boss Ma said he was very busy and declined the offer.
Zhou Buqi was not happy about this, so he pulled Boss Ma, Liu Qiangdong, and Lao Zhang together to go south to investigate a cross-border e-commerce startup called Xiyin to help Shi Jinglin complete the acquisition.
There's nothing he can do about it. Who calls him a "Beggar of the North"? He's just thick-skinned.
