Chapter 676: The dust rises as a horse gallops down the long street, and the sun and moon are hidden in the sleeves! Li Yanhong: Teacher Ma, can you win?
August 26, Yenching International Conference Center.
More than 300 well-known domestic and foreign media and more than 400 Internet companies gathered together, the scene was bustling with people and bright lights.
Standing at the entrance were hundreds of reporters from mainstream media and entrepreneurs who had not yet entered.
However, at this moment, most of the people in this group had their mouths slightly open, their eyes filled with unconcealable surprise.
Following the crowd's gaze, an old man and a young man were walking slowly towards the reception area less than 30 meters away from the conference hall, smiling.
The man walking in front looked to be in his early fifties. His black suit made him look tall and straight, and his red tie made him look more energetic. His every move revealed a calm and dignified temperament.
Following him was Chen Yansen, who had not appeared before.
He is 1.86 meters tall and very handsome, with a refreshing short haircut that is neat and energetic, showing his capable temperament to the fullest. Paired with a tailor-made indigo suit, he exudes dazzling elegance from head to toe.
The horse gallops down the long street, raising dust; the sun and the moon are hidden in the sleeves!
The reporter who reacted first quickly pressed the shutter to record the scene.
Ma Liyun paused and looked at Chen Yansen who was coming towards him. His breathing suddenly stopped and a feeling of sadness quietly filled his heart.
He couldn't help but think that although Ali's MyBank also obtained a financial license and business license, the gap between it and Suncity Bank in terms of physical outlets and business scope was far more than a little bit.
According to regulations, Ant Financial's offline business halls are only allowed to conduct business in Hangzhou.
More importantly, Suncity Bank can do many loan businesses, but Ant Financial is restricted from doing so.
One policy for each industry?
To put it bluntly, isn't it just differential treatment?
But he also knew in his heart that if Chen Yansen had not faced the pressure and confronted Zhao Binhai of the Banking Association at the closed-door meeting of financial leaders, MyBank would probably not be able to open more branches, let alone keep a single physical branch.
In addition, Chen Yansen also traveled abroad twice with the delegation and held face-to-face negotiations with the heads of local central departments in North America and Europe.
This time is even more special!
She actually got out of Han Jinheng's car.
In China, there are very few businessmen who can receive this honor and reach this level.
No!
To be more precise, it is absolutely unique across the country.
What's his reason?
Ma Liyun's mouth trembled slightly, and he was thinking over and over in his mind.
"The boss..."
Liao Wei, CEO of Yunsu Express, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but after a moment, he swallowed the words back.
He always felt that his boss's business talent was comparable to that of his forefather, but the fact that Chen Yansen could ride in the same car with a super boss like Han Jinheng was far beyond his expectations and imagination.
In everyone's eyes, this thirty-meter road seemed as far as three thousand meters.
It was not until Chen Yansen approached that many people woke up from their dreams.
"Boss!" The heads of various subsidiaries under Senlian Capital all greeted him in unison.
In addition to Chen Yansen, CEOs of companies such as Kuaipao, AutoNavi Maps, ByteDance, Today, Orange Interactive Entertainment, OFO Bike, Pinbei, Orange Technology and Orange Payment were all invited.
At first glance, it was pitch black.
Chen Yansen nodded slightly and waved to Wang Zihao in the crowd.
When Wang Zihao came forward, he smiled and jokingly said, "Why are you tanned again?"
"Well, running around the market every day, how can I not be swindling? OFO has nearly 2 million bicycles and mopeds in circulation, with daily revenue exceeding 10 million yuan. However, it's difficult to expand business in third- and fourth-tier cities and county-level markets. I have to keep an eye on it personally."
Wang Zihao grinned, his tone hinting at seeking credit.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Chen Yansen patted Wang Zihao on the shoulder and gave him some encouragement.
He paused and said, "Come inside, don't stand here, the road is almost blocked."
Zhou Shouzhi, Liao Wei, Pei Yi and others nodded quickly, and then followed him closely.
As for Han Jinheng, he had already gone to the lounge surrounded by assistants and security personnel.
Chen Yansen led the heads of more than a dozen subsidiaries and strode into the conference hall.
When passing by the door, I happened to see Ma Liyun.
"Mr. Ma is waiting for someone?" Chen Yansen asked softly.
Ma Liyun came back to his senses, and the complex emotions on his face immediately subsided, replaced by a standard business smile, but it was still a little unnatural. "Mr. Chen, you're joking. Didn't you just arrive and were about to go in? But Mr. Chen, this scene today has really opened everyone's eyes."
After saying this, his gaze unconsciously fell on the "CEO team" behind Chen Yansen.
From Zhang Yiming of ByteDance to Huang Zheng of Pinbei, to Liao Wei of Yunsu, Zhou Shouzhi of Orange Technology, and Liang Bo of Jinri Technology, each of them is a leading figure in the Internet industry, but at this moment they all gathered around Chen Yansen, with him as the leader, with humble and respectful attitudes.
Such a scene had never occurred before, even in all the years he had been at the helm of Ali.
Chen Yansen saw through the thoughts in his eyes, but did not point it out.
Seeing this, the reporter nearby immediately raised his camera and pressed the shutter.
You should know that the honeymoon period between Senlian Capital and Ali has long ended. Now the two sides are competing fiercely in the fields of e-commerce, food delivery, group buying and map navigation.
They thought that when "enemies" met, even if they didn't say a few insults to each other, they would at least say some sarcastic words.
But Chen Yansen and Ma Liyun are both respectable people. In front of the media, even if they have their own plans in mind, they maintain superficial politeness and courteousness very well.
"It's almost time, Mr. Ma, shall we go in first so as not to delay the opening agenda?"
Chen Yansen raised his hand and looked at his watch and said.
Ma Liyun nodded.
But when he caught a glimpse of the group of CEOs who followed him, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Ali also sent a number of participants to this Internet conference, such as Peng Lei, CEO of Xiaowei Finance, Gu Yongqiang of Youku, and Yu Yongfu of UC Browser. However, compared with Senlian Capital, the lineup seemed much thinner.
The two walked in side by side, the red carpet under their feet stretched all the way along the aisle to the main venue. The shutter sounds of cameras from reporters on both sides came one after another, and the flash lights formed a strip of light in the corridor.
"Brother Sen!"
"Mr. Chen!"
"Mr. Chen!"
The guests in the first three rows of the hall stood up as soon as they saw Chen Yansen.
Even if you are more than ten meters away, you should greet each other with a smile.
A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree!
Chen Yansen is already a top-tier figure in China's Internet sector.
"What time did you arrive last night? Not only did Charles drag me out drinking until the early hours, he even insisted on taking me fishing in the Bohai Sea. In the end, we only caught a few big black sea bream. It was totally worthless."
Ma Wenteng came forward and complained with a smile on his face.
"Where is Old Zhang? The opening ceremony is about to begin, why hasn't he arrived yet?" Chen Yansen looked around and didn't see Zhang Chaoyang, so he asked.
"He's drunk, and I can't stop him! Oh, and let me tell you something. Wanda and I have an agreement to sell off QQ Group Buy, Paipai.com, and Yixun.com. Once the three-month transition period is over, QQ Group Buy will be renamed Whale Group Buy."
Ma Wenteng lowered his voice and said with a smile, a look of relief emerging between his brows.
Finally got rid of these hot baggage!
After all, in 2014, it was not easy to find a sucker willing to take over.
"Is Wang Jianlin also willing to take the job?" Chen Yansen burst out laughing.
"I promised to leave him an entrance on the secondary interface of QQ. In addition, QQ News and QQ Browser will also divert traffic to his business, but all of this will be charged."
Ma Wenteng then explained and emphasized that he would charge both exposure fees and CPS fees for the advertising space he gave to Wanda.
What this means is that Penguin and Pinbei are one family.
The reason why Wanda's e-commerce traffic was given was simply because the other party was willing to take over.
As the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the venue.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhang Chaoyang walking in with a slightly unsteady pace and swollen eyes. He was wearing a casual suit. Compared with the other attendees who were dressed in suits, he seemed a little out of place.
It doesn't look like they are here for a meeting, but more like they are here for a nightclub.
Chen Yansen shook his head and had to admit that among many Internet tycoons, Zhang Chaoyang had the most free and easy temperament.
When I was young and just made money, I decisively chose to lie down.
He hangs out with celebrities, throws parties, and appears on variety shows. When he can no longer play, he focuses his energy on private jets, yachts, mountain climbing, swimming, and sea fishing.
People younger than him are not as rich as him.
People who are richer than him don’t have as much fun as he does.
"Jensen, Pony!"
As soon as Zhang Chaoyang opened his mouth, a faint smell of alcohol came out.
Without waiting for Chen Yansen to reply, he smiled and suggested, "Tonight is Yunku, I'll arrange it. Invite a few more friends, it will be more lively with more people."
"Charles, the person giving the opening speech today is Mr. Han, so you better be more reserved."
Ma Wenteng held his forehead with his hand and smiled bitterly, reminding him kindly.
"Every year's internet conference is the same, with the same old talk repeated over and over again."
Zhang Chaoyang muttered to himself.
"Lao Zhang, drink less. You're already fifty, and you still think you're a young man in his early twenties?"
Chen Yansen patted Zhang Chaoyang on the shoulder and persuaded him.
In the media's writings, Zhang Chaoyang is the "godfather of the Internet generation", the "pioneer of portal websites", and the "old generation boss abandoned by the times".
But in his impression, Zhang Chaoyang's life is very simple: he is either throwing a party or on the way to a party.
"I drink once in a while. Do you think I drink every day? I'm not an alcoholic," Zhang Chaoyang retorted.
do not you?
Chen Yansen suddenly found it funny, but didn't say anything more.
Afterwards, the three of them stood together and chatted casually.
Seeing this, Liu Qiangdong, Lei Yijun and Zhou Hongyi couldn't help but move their feet and move forward.
Li Yanhong, who was sitting in the first group, was alone and exchanged glances with Ma Liyun sitting next to him.
"If I had invested in Kuaidi Dache and Kuaipao, I would have probably made a fortune like Ma Wenteng and also gained a strong business partner."
Li Yanhong pondered secretly, feeling full of regret.
"Mr. Li, what are you thinking about?" Ma Liyun's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, interrupting Li Yanhong's thoughts.
Hearing this, Li Yanhong forced a smile: "Nothing."
"Losing to Chen Yansen is normal. Look at the people around him. They almost occupy half of the internet. They have no shortage of money, traffic, or connections."
Ma Liyun said lightly.
There is no guarantee that there will be another entrepreneur who can ride in the same car with Han Jinheng, even in the past 30 years or in the future 30 years.
After hearing this, Li Yanhong deeply agreed.
Although Qiandu has been trying to transform in recent years and has invested in areas such as artificial intelligence and autonomous driving, its influence in the C-end market is gradually weakening.
Especially in the era of mobile Internet, from social networking, e-commerce, to travel and local life, each time seems to have caught the trend of the times, but each time it is half a beat slower.
You can imagine how difficult it is to catch up now.
What made him even more worried was that Chen Yansen, Zhou Hongyi, Ma Wenteng and Zhang Chaoyang joined forces to destroy Baidu's market share in the search engine field, with a market share of less than 30%.
Compared with a year ago, market share has plummeted by 45%.
It has fallen from being the top search engine to the second in the industry, with 360 Search closing in on it and eyeing Qiandu's position covetously.
Its market value has dropped by 70%, almost the same as Vipshop, at only 15 billion US dollars.
"Mr. Ma, do you think Ali can beat Pinbei?"
Li Yanhong asked kindly.
But his words immediately broke Ma Liyun's defense.
After a long pause, Old Ma said quietly, "It's just a matter of time. Just like Zhang Chaoyang, he was a big shot back then, but now he's lost his former glory. Senlian Capital won't always be smooth sailing; it will eventually decline."
After listening to this, Li Yanhong felt better.
After a while, everyone present found their seats and sat down, waiting for the opening ceremony to officially begin.
A group of giant LED screens are placed in the middle of the conference hall, on which the slogan "Create unlimited opportunities and build an economic engine for the new era" is prominently displayed.
At half past nine, the host walked onto the stage on time, made a few brief opening remarks, and then announced the start of the speech session.
The original spokesperson was Li Qingsong, but he was temporarily replaced by Han Jinheng.
Upon seeing this, the thousands of participants in the audience instantly quieted down, adjusted their sitting positions, and pretended to listen attentively.
Only Zhang Chaoyang looked particularly tired. He blinked and felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Before Han Jinheng started talking, he had already closed his eyes and fell asleep on the spot.
Although the snoring is quiet, people around can hear it clearly.
Ten minutes later, Han Jinheng walked off the stage.
Immediately afterwards, representatives from the Industry and Information Technology Association, the Internet Association and the Commerce Association took turns to speak on stage.
An hour later, the host looked down at the audience and called out Chen Yansen's name: "Please welcome Mr. Chen Yansen, the main forum mentor of this conference and chairman of Senlian Capital, to the stage to deliver a speech to all the guests!"
Chen Yansen first straightened the wrinkles on his clothes before stepping onto the stage leisurely.
He looked up at the audience below. The conference hall of several thousand square meters was filled with industry bigwigs. Throwing a brick here could hit several billionaires.
