"He's here, he's here. Jack Ma is here."
The first to arrive was the host, Jack Ma.
As soon as Jack Ma arrived, a reporter quickly came forward to interview him. "Mr. Ma, there is a theme for the West Lake Sword Competition every year. What is the theme this time?"
The theme of the first West Lake Sword Competition was "New Millennium, New Economy, New Internet Heroes."
In other words, the Internet in 2000 was the Qidian of all the major domestic Internet companies.
In 2000, the Internet was really famous.
Then it was the second session. Due to the impact of the global Internet bubble, the major domestic Internet companies suffered heavy losses. Therefore, the theme of the second session was "Business, Profit, Growth." It discussed how the Internet could make money.
2002 was the third session. At this time, the domestic Internet was the first to recover from the global Internet bubble. Many companies made a lot of money through games. Many Internet companies also found more business opportunities through various operations. The theme of this year was "The Excitement After the Bubble."
2003 was the third session.
Although the West Lake Sword Competition was a private gathering, the reporters were very interested in the theme of this gathering.
In their opinion, this was not a private gathering. This was a gathering of the leaders of the Internet.
Even if these Sect Leaders were just talking nonsense, they might become the next Internet trendspot.
"The theme of this year's session is" The Next Wave. "
Jack Ma said to the reporters with a smile.
"The Next Wave?"
The reporters were a little confused.
The previous few themes were easy for everyone to understand, but this year's theme was too mysterious.
What did the Next Wave mean?
"Mr. Ma, can you explain what the Next Wave is?"
"Well, you'll understand when you see our gathering."
Jack Ma kept them in suspense and then said again, "However, my friends, you all know that the West Lake Sword Competition is a private gathering. I'm the host, so it's not a problem for me to accept your interviews. However, when some of my friends arrive, I hope that everyone will be patient and not disturb them. We'll interview them after the gathering. How about that? "
"No problem."
The reporters expressed their understanding.
After Jack Ma finished speaking, some other Internet big shots arrived one after another.
The first to arrive was Shin-Lang's CEO and chairman, Cao Guowei.
He was taking over from "Wang Ke."
After Cao Guowei arrived, many reporters kept sighing with emotion.
Although Shin-Lang was the number one internet portal and was currently the most famous internet company, the head of the company was constantly changing. First, it was the founder, Wang Zhidong, then Wang Bei, and now it was Cao Guowei.
However, this was also very normal.
Currently, Shin-Lang's shares were scattered. Even the founder had been chased out of the house. It was very easy to change the chairman and CEO.
Next was Baidu's Li Yanhong.
Ali and Baidu had a close relationship, and Baidu had given a lot of advertising to Ali.
Regarding Li Yanhong's arrival, Ma Yun warmly invited Li Yanhong to take a seat.
NetEase's Ding Lei, Sohu's Zhang Chaoyang, and Penguin's Ma Huateng arrived at the same time.
She didn't know if they had made an appointment or if they just happened to bump into each other.
Everyone applauded when Microsoft's Bill arrived.
Although Bill was not from China, it had to be said that Bill was the biggest name in the West Lake Sword Competition so far.
Not only this year, but also the previous three years.
"Hello …"
As an English teacher, Ma Yun was fluent in English. He greeted Bill like an old friend.
Bill was also a very easy-going person. He exchanged pleasantries with Ma Yun from time to time.
"There seems to be one more person who hasn't arrived."
Li Yanhong looked around and said.
"You mean Mr. Jin Yong?"
Ma Huateng said.
"Mr. Jin Yong arrived at 10 o 'clock. There is one more person, Chen Yu."
As the inviter, Ma Yun mentioned Chen Yu.
Of course, everyone knew that even if Ma Yun didn't mention it.
"Haha, this guy has always been a big shot. I'm used to it."
Ding Lei, who had a better understanding of Chen Yu, said.
NetEase and Huanyu Technologies had always been competitors. Moreover, Chen Yu had cheated Ding Lei several times.
Ding Lei naturally didn't have a good impression of Chen Yu.
"I don't think Chen Yu is a big shot. It's just that the way he operates is really good."
Li Yanhong didn't know if it was out of admiration or another meaning.
"Do you want me to tell you how our QQ failed?"
Ma Huateng said jokingly with a bitter face.
"I'm not familiar with Chen Yu. I must have a good chat with him later."
Cao Guowei had just taken office. Although he said so, they had long been wary of Chen Yu from Huanyu Technologies.
For example, web portals.
As the boss of web portals, Shin-Lang had become their strong competitor at this moment.
"Actually, I'm not familiar with him either. But it seems that Boss Chen of Huanyu Technologies is very popular. We should talk to him more later."
Ma Yun also had a hidden meaning.
In this gathering, Ma Yun didn't really want to unite with other companies to deal with Chen Yu.
However, Ma Yun didn't object to having everyone target Chen Yu during the gathering.
After all, now it seemed that Huanyu Technologies had business competition with everyone present.
Whether it was instant messaging, search engines, web portals, or the upcoming e-commerce.
"Excuse me, is this the Sword Seminar in West Lake?"
While they were talking, a young man suddenly walked out of the crowd of reporters.
"Yes."
A reporter answered.
"Then can I go in for a while?"
"Humph, you want to cut in line. Go to the back."
Several reporters stared at Chen Yu.
They thought that Chen Yu was a reporter from other media.
This guy didn't have any rules. Since he came, he should stand at the back.
"Uh …"
Chen Yu burst into tears. "Brother, I'm here for the Sword Seminar in West Lake."
"Brother, can you stop bragging?"
"I'm really here for it."
"Cut it out. Go away …"
Many reporters had opinions about Chen Yu and said one after another.
Ma Yun saw the noise in the crowd of reporters and frowned. "My friends, please give us some face. We still need to talk."
After that, Ma Yun saw Chen Yu and immediately said, "Boss Chen, why are you standing at the back?"
"They won't let me go forward."
Chen Yu said gloomily.
"They …"
Ma Yun was a little confused.
Other reporters were also a little petrified.
"You, what's the matter with you?"
"This is Boss Chen from Huanyu Technologies. My friends, please make way."
Ma Yun came to open the way for Chen Yu in person.
"Damn, he's Chen Yu from Huanyu Technologies?"
"Damn, he's too young."
The reporters in the crowd opened their eyes wide.
Many cameras were also aimed at Chen Yu.
However, Chen Yu said apologetically, "My friends, please don't expose my photo during the interview. I have to go to school."
"Go to school? No way …"
The group of reporters vomited blood again.
He founded Huanyu Technologies when he went to school?
Looking at him now, he was at most a freshman.
"Here comes the breaking news."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. If this is exposed, I'm afraid it will be on the headlines."
In fact, the media had exposed Chen Yu's information in Huanyu Technologies before.
However, the legal person of Huanyu Technologies was not Chen Yu, but Chen Yu's father, Chen Simian.
Many media and reporters had not had much contact with Chen Yu.
Now that they saw him in person, the group of reporters was on steroids.
"It's over, it's over. Boss Chen, you showed us your power as soon as you came."
Ma Yun burst into tears when he heard Chen Yu say that he had to go to school.
This guy was even better than him when it came to showing off.
However, what Chen Yu said was true. Even if he complained in his heart, he could not say anything.
"We were just talking about Huanyu Technologies just now."
Ma Yun greeted Chen Yu and arranged a seat for Chen Yu.
The group of big shots stared at Chen Yu.
Including Bill.
Microsoft's Bill was also very interested in Chen Yu.
"Oh, Boss Ma, what about us?"
Although the group of big shots sitting at the scene had not officially communicated with Chen Yu, they had met Chen Yu at the Internet Conference organized by the official website. As for Microsoft's Bill, although it was the first time they met, who in the Internet industry did not recognize him?
"We were talking about how Huanyu Technologies is not easy to deal with."
Ma Yun said jokingly while making tea.
"Boss Ma, don't tell me you guys are discussing how to deal with me together."
Chen Yu pretended to be afraid and said with a frightened face, "No, it's one thing for you to bully the young, but you even bully the young with more people. As the flower of the motherland, I can't hold it."
