Li Dong's self-consolation was not boasting.
Ma Yun's influence in 2008 was incomparable to Li Dong's.
Even in the internet industry, Li Dong's reputation was greater than Ma Yun's.
If Li Dong had said "change the bank", it would have attracted the attention of the financial institutions. Of course, it was just a little bit of attention.
As a monopoly industry, the banks were extremely powerful at this time, and the funds they had were incomparable to Li Dong.
Not to mention that Li Dong's net worth was less than 100 billion, even if it was 100 billion, the banks would not care too much about his arrogant words.
Many people thought that Ma Yun said that he would change the bank after Yu 'e Bao went online, which was around 13 years ago.
In fact, Ma Yun said this at a leaders' summit at the end of 2008.
However, the response at that time was mediocre, and almost no one took it seriously.
In fact, 2008 was indeed an opportunity. Due to the impact of the financial crisis, a large number of SMEs went bankrupt, and the banks refused to lend.
At this time, SMEs wanted to cry, but had no tears.
Many of the more promising SMEs went bankrupt due to financial problems, and many companies in the investment stage also went to the end of their lives due to the lack of funds.
If the internet finance and credit system could be opened at this time, it would attract a large number of SMEs without advertising.
Of course, the development of the internet finance could not be separated from the support of the mobile internet.
These two actually complemented each other.
At this time, promoting the internet finance industry was promoting the mobile internet industry. The two did not conflict, but would strongly complement each other.
The reason why Li Dong said this was to pave the way for this.
He could not wait!
According to the historical process, it would take at least five years for the internet finance industry to truly develop and grow.
It would also take nearly three years for the mobile internet industry to grow.
Far away was already developing WeChat, making various mobile apps, building mobile online shopping, and completely taking the steps of O2O.
Under this situation, Li Dong had to quickly push these industries forward.
Otherwise, all the preliminary work he had done would be wasted. He could not wait for three to five years.
The Internet Conference was an opportunity. The financial crisis was an opportunity. The country's promotion of 3G was also an opportunity. The development of OPPO's second phone was also an opportunity.
With so many opportunities gathered together, Li Dong felt that there was still a lot of hope.
He might not have enough power on his own, but if he could get companies like Ali, Tencent, and Baidu, as well as companies like Suning, Gome, and China Resources, which were already involved in or preparing to get involved in online shopping, he would have much more hope.
Li Dong had no doubt that Suning would agree.
Gome was a little worried. After all, the audacious Old Huang was about to fall from power, and he might not participate in it.
State-owned enterprises like Huarun will not dare to bring it up. But now, Li Dong has actually tied Huarun to his chariot.
The cooperation between the two sides in East China was due to Li Dong's kidnapping.
If they were to kidnap a few more groups and board this chariot together, it would be enough to form an alliance of trillions. This kind of power was enough to deter others at the moment.
…
These thoughts flashed in Feng Yu's mind.
The scene also fell into a temporary silence because of Li Dong and Ma Yun's words.
The silence did not last for long. Soon, the scene burst into an uproar.
The reporters could not wait to interview Li Dong and Ma Yun. Are they going to attack the banks?
In other words, were they trying to bombard the policies of the Central Bank and the State Council?
After all, some of the banks' policies were set by the higher-ups.
Giving up on small and medium-sized enterprises and maintaining the stability of the banks was the safest way for the government to deal with the crisis.
At this moment, Li Dong and Ma Yun pushed the responsibility to the banks. Are they trying to challenge the major financial institutions?
Ma Yun did not have this power.
Did Li Dong have this power?
Li Dong also did not have this power!
But Li Dong was the richest person in the world. Whether in the IT industry or the traditional industry, he had great influence. If he really wanted to promote his ideas everywhere, it might be a big fight.
So far away from the loan to maintain the expansion, it was not a wise move to offend the banks at this time.
Although the last few words were not said by Li Dong, it was Li Dong who listed the banks as the second culprit!
Li Dong, who was still regretting that he did not succeed in showing off, was soon surrounded by the reporters.
Not only him, but also Ma Yun, Du Anmin, and Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology were surrounded.
The reporters were usually not so anxious, but at this moment, they had too many questions to ask.
A reporter from a major newspaper hurriedly said, "Mayor Du, Minister Zhang, General Manager Li, General Manager Ma … Just now, everyone heard what General Manager Li and General Manager Ma said. Can I ask General Manager Li a few words?"
Li Dong smiled and was about to speak. Du Anmin coughed softly and said with a smile, "The summit is not over yet. You can ask later. When the closing ceremony is over, you can do an exclusive interview with General Manager Li. "
Hearing this, the reporter immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Mayor Du, after the conference, can we do a simple interview with you? Can you do a brief analysis of the questions just raised by General Manager Li and General Manager Ma? "
Du Anmin said a few polite words and threw the topic to Minister Zhang.
As for Minister Zhang, his face was a little green at this time. The words of Li Dong and Ma Yun somewhat caught him off guard.
He had long known that these people wanted to promote the development of Internet finance. In fact, not only these two people, but also Tencent, Baidu, and other major companies with payment systems were promoting it.
He did not take it seriously at first, but at this moment, Li Dong and Ma Yun bombarded the bank, which shocked him.
The domestic financial system was independent, and it was quite powerful.
In addition, it was under the unified jurisdiction of the Central Bank, which was much more important than the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Now several giants of the Internet system wanted to promote Internet finance and encroach on the territory of traditional banks. Should he support this?
Minister Zhang was in a state of confusion. He did not want to say more about Du Anmin's blame, so he said a few perfunctory words and ended the topic.
…
The Internet Conference continued.
The reporters did not get the chance to interview them. Everyone was very secretive about the topic of Li Dong and Ma Yun. Only a few people openly expressed their opinions.
Even Li Yanhong and Ma Huateng only smiled and said a few words in the official language.
They were willing to promote Internet finance and open up the payment system, and they were happy to do so.
But Li Dong and Ma Yun's words just now were a little too deep. They even wanted to break the original profit distribution model, and it was not good to get involved in this matter.
Of course, they still had to promote what needed to be promoted. As for what Li Dong and Ma Yun wanted to do next, it was none of their business.
It was not like they had not done such things before. Tencent's QQ was launched, and it had affected the telecommunications industry.
In the end, both sides fought openly and secretly for many years, and both sides took a step back to end the dispute.
However, although the telecommunications industry was strong, it was still a far cry from the financial industry. It was still possible to make some moves now, but it was too difficult to encroach on their territory. They had to go back and think about it carefully.
But they still supported it.
This was an opportunity for the IT giants!
An opportunity to reach out to other fields. If Li Dong and Ma Yun really had a chance to succeed, everyone did not mind standing up to support them and then getting a share of the profits.
But if they did not succeed, then there was no other way, and they could only continue to shrink back.
Everyone wanted to make a lot of money and increase their influence, but the risk was too high, and they needed to weigh the gains and losses.
With all kinds of messy thoughts, the closing ceremony became a little dull.
…
After the closing ceremony, Far Away and a few other giants also received some benefits.
Far Away, Baidu, Tencent, Ali, Sina, Sohu …
These well-known companies were selected as the first batch of AAA credit rating companies by the Internet Association.
According to the instructions of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as well as the evaluation of the relevant departments, this was the first time that the Internet companies had launched the three-level and nine-level credit rating system.
Among them, a total of 16 companies received AAA credit ratings, and almost all of the first-tier Internet companies were included.
There were no AA companies, and there were two A companies.
In total, there were 18 companies that received A and above ratings. It was not a small number, but not too many.
If not for Li Dong's opinion, everyone would have been happy. But at this time, when they received the credit rating signboard, although everyone laughed, they still felt a little less excited.
When you were still happy about being rated, others were already thinking about being the chief judge and rating others.
That was the difference!
Maybe Li Dong and the others were just saying and had not taken action, but they dared to say it, and that showed their courage and confidence.
If it was another company, if it was another person who said these words, everyone would only treat it as a joke, and not take it seriously.
…
At noon on the 25th, the closing ceremony ended.
The three-day Internet Conference had officially come to an end.
However, many people were not very calm.
Regarding the first day, Li Dong and the other giants' views on B2C and C2C, their future judgment, and the future development trend of e-commerce, they had made some simple comments.
On this day, the e-commerce companies were deeply touched.
On the last day, Li Dong and Ma Yun expressed their views on B2B e-commerce, and it was also very rewarding.
More importantly, these giants were already exploring new Internet models and new ways out of the Internet.
Integrating with traditional companies, integrating with the financial sector, and promoting the cross-field development of Internet companies would have an impact on all Internet companies.
Whether the impact would be good or bad, and whether they could seize the opportunity, these were all unknown.
Whether the future of the Internet would be a bubble winter, or a new round of rise and enter a golden age, it was also difficult to judge at this time.
No matter what, everyone had benefited a lot from this conference.
For many people, it was also the first time they felt the strength of Far away technology, and Li Dong's personal strength.
He did not succeed because of luck. He had his own ideas, his own plans, and he was even creating a new model.
Internet +, Internet finance, O2O integration, these new paths, Li Dong had gone further than them.
At this time, if people still thought that Li Dong was just lucky, there was no company in the world that was not lucky.
…
International Convention Center.
The leaders of the other companies had left, but Li Dong and the other giants were left behind.
In addition to them, Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Chairman Hu of the Internet Association, Beijing Mayor Du Anmin, the Director of the National New Office … and other government leaders also stayed behind.
Small conference room.
Chairman Hu presided over the meeting, Du Anmin was in charge of listening, and Minister Zhang was in charge of talking.
Minister Zhang was not young. He was already in his sixties, and it was about time for him to retire.
This official, known as the "Iron Fist Minister," had once done the most sensational thing, which was to close down most of the black coal mines and reorganize the coal mines.
Although the outside world had different opinions about him, it had to be said that the officials who dared to do so at that time were all charging forward.
Regardless of whether they had completely cleaned up these old abuses, daring to do it was courage.
Minister Zhang was old, and there was almost no hope of advancing to the next level.
It was also because of this that he could go all out.
During the conference, he thought for a long time about Li Dong and Ma Yun's words, and finally, Minister Zhang made a decision in his heart.
At this time, Minister Zhang asked them to stay behind to strengthen his determination.
The conference room was very quiet. Minister Zhang deliberated for a moment before saying, "Li Dong, there aren't many people now. Can you tell us in detail about your concept of Internet finance and Internet +?"
As soon as this was said, everyone perked up and looked at Li Dong.
Li Dong looked at Du Anmin, but Du Anmin did not say anything.
Seeing this, Li Dong pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Actually, my thinking is very simple. Internet finance is actually an extension of the Internet + system, and the two do not need to be separated. And Internet + … "
Li Dong gave a brief summary. In fact, some things were useless just by saying it, as long as there was a general meaning, it was enough.
The concept of Internet + was also very simple, and everyone actually understood it in their hearts.
As for how to implement it and what to do specifically, it needed everyone to explore it themselves. Li Dong could not tell them what to do word by word.
Minister Zhang waited for him to finish and said, "Previously, you said that the small and medium-sized enterprises are in crisis, and the banks are the culprits. If the Internet finance policy is opened up, what do you plan to do?"
Li Dong chuckled and said, "This is not easy to say at the moment, and it still depends on the degree of openness of the policy. Of course, we have to take it step by step, and we actually did not think too much for the time being. First, expand the online payment field. Second, attract private funds. Third, do some work to support small and medium-sized enterprises if the policy allows. "
Speaking up to this point, Ma Yun continued, "Crowdfunding, P2P online loans."
Li Dong's face darkened. F * ck, can you not be so direct!
The reason why he said it in such a vague manner was because he was afraid that Minister Zhang would back out. Ma Yun, on the other hand, if you scared Minister Zhang away, it would be troublesome to promote the work.
Of course, this was different from the future. In the future, P2P online loans would be completely ruined by some platforms.
Fortunately, it was a new concept at this time.
However, it was also very easy to associate it with private funding and lending. Li Dong was afraid that everyone would form an Association, so he did not dare to say it.
But that bastard Ma Yun was causing trouble for him!
