my return 2002

Chapter 226
Because they had to participate in the West Lake Discussion of Swords the next day, everyone did not drink desperately, Shen Lang was also spared, and did not pass out on the spot, but he still fell asleep when he returned to the hotel.

A few days later, Shen Lang was woken up by Lei Jun's phone call. He simply washed up and changed into a more casual suit before Shen Lang went out. Lei Jun looked Shen Lang up and down, and joked.

"That's right, it seems like you're good at drinking."

Shen Lang secretly rolled his eyes, he originally wanted to ask Lei Jun to help him block the wine, but this guy also poured him wine yesterday, which really led the wolf into the house.

The commercial vehicle arranged by Jack Ma was already waiting at the entrance of the hotel. All the way to the venue of West Lake Lunjian, there were already many reporters waiting at the entrance, each with a long gun and a short cannon in his hand, like a hunter waiting for his prey.

Lei Jun patted Shen Lang on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Be natural, this step must be taken out after all."

Shen Lang nodded. To be honest, as an ordinary person, facing this kind of battle is really a bit nervous, but as Lei Jun said, this is just the first step to go out, and he will have to face more in the future. many.

Taking a deep breath, straightening his back, Shen Lang got out of the commercial vehicle with a smile on his face, and Lei Jun followed behind, falling half a body, protruding Shen Lang in the reporter's lens.

"It's YY's Shen Lang!"

"Fuck, he's here too? Didn't you say this guy is very low-key?"

"Jack Ma deserves to be the [social butterfly] of the Internet circle, so many bigwigs are here."

Soon, Shen Lang was surrounded by reporters, and the microphone almost hit his face. Fortunately, the security guards separated them in time.

The reporters were not discouraged, and started interviewing through the security guards.

"Mr. Shen, recently, QQ Log and Sina Blog are competing for celebrities to settle in, and they are in full swing, but YY Log has not moved. May I ask whether YY Log gave up the competition and is willing to be the third in the market share?"

Shen Lang smiled lightly: "The highest kindness is like water, and water is good for all things without fighting for it. I think the real role of blogs is to give ordinary people a platform to speak out. Sometimes people habitually look up at the starry sky. The stars are bright, but the time to look up After a long time, I have forgotten the little joys in life, what YY diary should do is to help everyone discover the beauty around them.”

"Discover the beauty around you? Is this the origin of the slogan of YY diary?"

Standing behind Shen Lang, Lei Jun looked at his smooth talk, and couldn't help but smile in relief.

At this time, another car came to the scene, and a reporter shouted: "Brother Ma is here."

Shen Lang and Lei Jun took the opportunity to enter the venue to avoid the embarrassing scene of meeting Xiao Ma being photographed by reporters, and there must be a choreography at that time.

A year later, West Lake Lunjian was held again. This time, unlike the previous ones, it was all organized by Jack Ma. This time, the local government became the protagonist of the stage, and the scene seemed a lot more grand, but less At the beginning, Jack Ma invited Mr. Jin Yong to sit and talk about swords.

After Shen Lang and Lei Jun signed their names on the curtain at the entrance, the staff gave each of them a tag, and then entered the venue.

Ding Sanshi was already inside, seeing Shen Lang waving at him.

Not long after Shen Lang and Lei Jun sat down next to him, Brother Xiao Ma also came in, but he took Zhang Zhidong to sit in an inconspicuous corner, and he didn't know if he didn't want to sit with Shen Lang and the others, or I'm used to keeping a low profile.

It didn't take long for everyone to arrive. A local leader came to the stage to give a speech. Shen Lang almost fell asleep listening to it, but there were reporters at the scene, so he could only pretend to be listening carefully. Finally, after half an hour, the West Lake Lunjian finally officially started.

"Let us welcome with the warmest applause, Mr. Ma from Alibaba, Mr. Cao from Sina, and Mr. Shen from Inspur Technology."

After Shen Lang took the stage, he realized that the venue was full. Besides the media, many HZ citizens and Internet practitioners were invited to the venue.

After taking their seats, the host brought the topic to Jack Ma.

"Mr. Ma, the West Lake Discourse on Swords has been held for the fifth time. What do you think of the theme of the West Lake Discourse on Swords [Under Heaven]? Can you talk to everyone?"

Jack Ma talked eloquently: "In fact, this is also a development trend. I remember that the first West Lake Lunjian was held in the millennium, and the theme of that session was [New Millennium, New Economy, New Internet Hero]. Our understanding of the Internet is still relatively ignorant, and everyone does not have a clear direction, how to do the Internet, how we should survive, and we are still crossing the river by feeling the stones."

"Five years later, everyone has seen that mainland Internet companies are vying to go public in the United States, and Ali has just received a US$10 billion investment from Yahoo. Our mainland Internet is gradually connecting with the world, so today's theme [The World] 】."

There was a burst of warm applause immediately at the scene. I have to admit that Jack Ma's eloquence is still quite good, and he is very good at stirring people's emotions. It is no wonder that the host directly threw the first topic to him.

Afterwards, the host threw the topic to Yang Zhiyuan again.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Ma also mentioned just now that Yahoo invested 10 billion US dollars in Ali. You must know that this is equivalent to one-tenth of Yahoo's assets. It must not be easy to make such a decision? Can you share your thoughts with everyone? ?"

This topic is undoubtedly one of the hottest topics at present. Although the marriage between Yahoo and Ali has been reported on the Internet, Yang Zhiyuan has never publicly talked about his psychological process of investing in Ali.

Yang Zhiyuan smiled: "As the host said, it is not easy to make such a decision. Our board of directors of Yahoo also went through several rounds of negotiations before finally reaching an agreement. First of all, Ali is a very promising company. I also believe that Mr. Ma's ability can become the world's first-class e-commerce company."

As soon as the words fell, there was another round of applause at the scene. Jack Ma's face was also full of joy, and he met Yang Zhiyuan's eyes, and sparks flickered in the air. At this time, Yahoo and Ali can definitely be regarded as sweethearts.

The host saw that the warm-up work was almost done, so he raised a sharp topic.

"Everyone knows that with the development of the mainland's Internet industry in recent years, many American Internet giants have also begun to enter the Chinese market, many of them like MSN, which is backed by Microsoft, and Google, which is about to enter. Now there are some rumors circulating on the Internet, worrying about their The arrival will overwhelm the Internet industry in the Mainland, and everyone here is a leader in the Internet industry, so I don’t know what you think about it.”

In fact, this kind of worry is not unreasonable. Although the domestic Internet seems to have developed for many years, in fact, it is short of funds and talents. It is not until the millennium that it really starts to operate as a company. Compared with giants such as Microsoft and Google, it is just Weak as a baby.

Seeing that no one took the initiative to answer, the host glanced at it, and then threw the topic to Brother Xiao Ma.

"As a direct competitor of MSN, QQ has always had an absolute advantage in the industry before. What does President Ma think about this?"

Brother Xiao Ma picked up the microphone, but took a deep look at Shen Lang, and then spoke.

"Actually, in my opinion, Microsoft is indeed very powerful, but if MSN wants to surpass QQ, it will take at least ten years if we make no mistakes."

In fact, Xiao Ma wanted to say that the real threat often comes from the outside, but he swallowed his words in the end.

Brother Xiao Ma's domineering speech also brought the atmosphere to a peak.

The host nodded, and then threw the topic to Shen Lang.

"Mr. Shen, YY has been growing rapidly recently, even surpassing MSN, and its registered users have exceeded 1.2 million. What do you think of the threat of MSN?"

Shen Lang shrugged: "I never thought MSN was a threat."

Before the words were finished, the scene was full of exclamations. At first, everyone thought that Brother Xiao Ma's words were already crazy, but Shen Lang was even more crazy.

Lei Jun smiled wryly at the bottom: It's over, at least let others save some face.

"In my opinion, business competition is a good thing. There is no such thing as a threat, but a spur, which can make the company grow better. It is not a good phenomenon for a single company to dominate. The core competitiveness of the Internet industry lies in Innovation, once you lose competition, you will lose the motivation to innovate." Shen Lang added.

The audience at the scene had a stunned expression.

Then the host brought up a few more topics, the atmosphere gradually became warmer, and guests like Shen Lang also started to get into the mood.

At this time, the host proposed.

"The following will be a live questioning session. The audience can raise their hands to ask a guest on the stage their own questions."

As soon as the voice fell, countless hands were stretched out at the scene. The host scanned around and found a middle-aged woman in the front row excitedly tiptoeing, so she asked the staff to hand the microphone to the woman.

Who knew, the middle-aged woman took the microphone and pointed at Ding Sanshi and cursed: "If I see you outside, I will kill you!"

The host turned pale with shock, and the scene was in chaos. The security guards stared at the middle-aged woman nervously. If the other party made any aggressive moves, they would immediately go forward and subdue her.

Only then did the middle-aged woman cry with tears. It turned out that her son has been addicted to online games since last year, and sometimes even went out of the window to play games in the middle of the night, which made her go to various Internet cafes every night to find her son.

Ding Sanshi looked a little embarrassed, and asked cautiously: "Last year, more than 100 games were launched in the mainland, of which NetEase only released about ten games. Which game does your son play?"

The middle-aged woman replied confidently: "Legendary world!"

There was a lot of laughter at the scene, and some audience members laughed so hard that they almost burst into tears.

Ding Sanshi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yeah, I took the blame for Chen Tianqiao, I'll let him treat me to dinner next time."

Shen Lang is also happy, Ding Sanshi is too unlucky, he can also meet such an oolong.

However, the middle-aged woman was not relentless. In her opinion, as long as it is an online game, it is not a good thing and should be damned.

Shen Lang was speechless for a while. Parents like this must take a high-pressure attitude towards their children in reality. It is no wonder that children are addicted to online games.

After finally calming him down, the host immediately ordered a young man and asked the staff to hand him the microphone.

The young man set his eyes on Shen Lang.

"Mr. Shen, the momentum of YY has been very strong recently, but I see that there are many criticisms of YY on the Internet, saying that YY is just lucky, and it is the right treasure for Super Girl, and most of YY's users are student groups, which has also caused problems for students. Some very bad influences, what do you think of this?"

The host looked a little embarrassed. Originally, she thought that middle-aged women were more difficult to deal with, and thought it would be better to change to a younger man, but she didn't expect the problem to be more acute.

Lei Jun also sweated for Shen Lang in the audience.

Brother Xiao Ma is a little gloating. If he didn't see the camera facing the stage, he would want to laugh out loud and make you laugh.

Here, Shen Lang picked up the microphone unhurriedly: "In business, we only look at the results. The Internet companies here are at risk of going bankrupt several times, but they have come to the present. It closed down, luck is also a part of strength, in my opinion, this is more like the mission given to YY by God, so that YY has the opportunity to serve more users.”

The corner of Ma's mouth twitched, cursing in his heart, bullshit, and the mission was involved, so what is QQ?It means that YY is the son of destiny, to replace QQ?
The audience at the scene felt that Shen Lang's statement was very innovative.

Shen Lang paused, then continued: "As for the fact that YY users are mostly students, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Just take Mr. Ma's generation as an example. At that time, computers were still a luxury, let alone the Internet. , only [ordinary families] like Mr. Ma have access to computers."

"And it was precisely their generation who pioneered the Internet industry in the Mainland. I grew up in an ordinary family and didn't get access to computers until I went to university. Everything had to start from scratch. At that time, the other buddies in our dormitory I already know how to use the Internet to check foreign economics papers, but I am still learning to use the Wubi input method with One Finger Zen, and I can’t type a line for half an hour.”

"In the future, computer office and the Internet will be the trend of employment. Most of our companies now require employees to understand computers when recruiting employees. Our Internet companies need a large number of excellent talents. Don't think that it is too difficult to learn after going to university. It’s too late, in fact, many things need to be cultivated from an early age, just take myself as an example, I’m still a layman, and I can’t understand even the simplest line of code.”

"Look at Mr. Zhang from Sohu, Mr. Ding from NetEase, and Mr. Ma from Penguin. Which one is not a programming master?"

Lei Jun almost laughed out loud in the audience. Shen Lang really doesn't understand technology, but to say that Shen Lang doesn't understand the Internet is completely nonsense. This guy is obviously confusing concepts.

But let's not talk about it, when Shen Lang said this, the audience felt that there was a little truth in it, and even looked at Shen Lang with a hint of admiration in their eyes.

You can do it so well even if you don’t know it at all, you must have put in a lot of hard work behind it, right?
