Chapter 73 073: Internal Strength and External Strength
The inland town is calm and gentle, but in Lin'an, an important regional event is being prepared today.

The Second China Internet Conference.

The previous sessions of "West Lake Lunjian" convened by Alibaba were very successful, but they were private activities after all. With the domestic policy gradually getting closer in the past two years, the official "Tianchao Internet Conference" has been held for the second time since it was held last year.

Of course, the Internet circle is so big, and everyone sees it without looking up. Ma Yun, as a prince in the Internet industry today, was at the top of the audience when he held an event in Lin'an before. Those small companies and small towns voted around him like bees...

Of course, it is also considered a character here, but the situation is still different after all.

The Internet is an emerging industry rooted in the materialistic society. Although everyone starts to make small troubles, each of them has the meaning of a hero, but it is not enough to put it in the context of the country prefix.

I went in and met a few big bosses, all of them were very kind, and they didn't chat much with Ma Yun, an old acquaintance, but instead had a fondness for Gu Wenjie who was behind Ma Yun.

This may be because Kuaikan Media won a technical award some time ago, but this year the government attaches great importance to new technologies, and Ma Yun doesn't care.

After meeting colleagues, he relaxed a little, and Ma Yun introduced it to others—"This is Gu Wenjie, the boss of Kuaikan Media, a top student at Jinghua University. He recently worked on an advertising platform next door to us. Come and get to know him."

The crowd exchanged business cards with him again, even saying that they had admired him for a long time, and there were some people in the crowd who had really heard of Kuaikan Media, and even knew Gu Wenjie directly, and chatted with him: "I have used this platform before, it's amazing, I didn't expect Kuaikan to be made by you, Wenjie!"

"Brother Wenjie is our Jinghua talent. He was quite famous in school. I didn't expect computer technology to be so good..."

"I won the award, I won the award..."

Everyone entered the hall in a manner of entertaining, and the hall was full of wine and wine, and it seemed very lively—the conference will officially start until tomorrow, but as a repertoire of such a large-scale industry gathering, it is a routine operation to leave a period of time for free communication.

Looking back, there was another group of people talking next to him. Among them were two people he knew, one from Sina and the other from Huicong. Next to them was a slightly familiar man. He was in his forties, tall and tall, holding a goblet, and greeted Ma Yun.

Ma Yun nodded to him: "Hello, who are you?"

But the man didn't say: "Boss Ma is really a gentleman who forgets things too much. Have you forgotten who I am?"

Ma Yun frowned. The Internet circle is not used to these kinds of inexplicable politeness. If you want to meet someone, you just hand over your business card. Even Bill Gates will not show face to others when he comes, but it is a bit baffling to talk nonsense like someone who is not an acquaintance. Ma Yun saw that this person is not an important role.

"Jack, he is Boss Hao from Guangdong Province. He is from a local place. I had dinner with Boss Hao when I was in Guangdong Province. But Boss Hao, you are the noble man. You forget things. Why do you only remember Jack and not me?"

Boss Hao laughed loudly: "How come, we all know the name of Gu Dacai..."

Gu Wenjie took the initiative to block this person, and Ma Yun shook his head secretly. He didn't expect it to be a dog or a cat... He didn't have much interest in talking to this person, so he turned around and sat down by himself.

Sitting down at the table, no one spoke to him.

Sitting with him was Sohu Zhang Chaoyang, who was dozing off on his seat with a fairy face, and two people from Lianzhong were talking about this year’s Cao-Li War. They were old acquaintances. Ma Yun greeted them, and sat on his seat. Behind him, Boss Hao was still chatting loudly with Gu Wenjie...

Ma Yun thought that this meeting was also a straw stage, so why are all cats and dogs coming in?Of course, it’s not that those who don’t have enough rank are not eligible to come in, but what can such landlords who have nothing to do with the Internet come in and do it?Even a programmer can chat more.

Thinking of this, Ma Yun thought of the Chen Aotian who was looking quickly, and began to feel more and more emotional. The Internet industry before the millennium was dominated by geeks, but now the rest are businessmen——

After all, in the Internet industry, the eyes of laymen will be blocked by the huge technical threshold. They often think that only those who understand technology can do the Internet, but they will ignore the most fundamental things.

Of course, this is the Internet industry after all, and it is still very important to understand technology——

After the enterprise grows, it is not necessary to go to the front line to program by yourself, but only by understanding technology can you see some things that others cannot understand, such as that Chen Aotian...

Ma Yun specifically asked the company’s programmers, who said that the platform was not difficult to build, but when asked if he could build a similar platform, he said that this thing needs to have some business foundation to build it. Although Ma Yun didn’t understand the technical terms he said, he probably understood the product logic of this thing. On the one hand, it provides transparent pricing statistics for advertisers, and on the other hand, it uses differential delivery to increase traffic utilization efficiency.

With this kind of platform, the original online advertising model is like a primitive man wearing a leather skirt, which is difficult to catch the eye, so how did Chen Aotian come up with this thing?

Of course, the real story may not be so beautiful, such as stealing company secrets, or embezzling the fruits of collective labor. Through Chen Aotian’s cautious and cautious style, he can roughly guess some inside stories, but Ma Yun is more willing to think on the bright side. Perhaps from a technical perspective, it is indeed easier to see some opportunities that ordinary businessmen cannot see. This kind of thing actually does exist——

We should be more modest, Ma Yun thought.

Perhaps this should be called practicing internal strength.

Although you are an Internet company, everyone is going around, but in the end it still depends on the hard indicators such as profit, number of users, and payment rate...

But it may be equally important to improve product quality, upgrade services, and even improve one’s technical horizons. This is like practicing internal skills—if understanding the logic of market demand and grasping policy trends are “external skills”, these abilities are internal skills.Looking back and looking at the Internet today, although everyone says that geeks have no future, let alone Lei Jun and Zhou Hongyi, who are trendy with geek backgrounds, even Ding Sanshi and Ma Huateng are entrepreneurs with technical backgrounds.

Compared with them, Ma Yun himself is indeed like a foreign master who specializes in Dugu Nine Swords. Although he is very accurate in terms of market demand, his internal skills are still a bit behind his peers...

Thinking of this, Ma Yun took a deep breath, as if he had really activated his inner strength.

And just at this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the hall, and the boy servant at the entrance called out loudly. It was Yang Zhiyuan, the No. 1 martial arts master in the world and the leader of Yahoo, both inside and outside.

Ever since joining Softbank, Alibaba has admired this senior brother for a long time now, and since the senior brother came in person, he, a local snake, must of course show his friendship as a landlord. Ma Yun hurriedly got up to greet him, and the head of Yang was already surrounded by stalkers. He looked just like Ali from Lin'an.

Of course, Ali was surrounded by small fish and small shrimps, but now Daxia Yang is surrounded by heroes and big bodyguards from big companies. Ma Yun squeezed over, and Senior Brother Yang talked to him with a smile.

However, he chatted with Yang Daxia for a few words, but Yang Daxia didn't care much.

Reminiscing casually, Yang Daxia talked about Sun Zhengyi's trip to Lin'an a few days ago. For his family's Taobao, Sun Zhengyi not only invested [-] million yuan, but also specially auctioned a watch on Taobao.

"Junior Brother Ma, I heard that the famous 'Quick Kan Media' recently was created by a disciple of your sect. Is there such a thing?"
