Chapter 752 Li Yanhong Gets Kicked! Leggeji's 74 Million Yuan Compensation!
At 10 p.m., the Luzhou Prefecture in Sanhe Ancient Town became even more lively.
The drinking party, initially organized by Chen Yansen, quietly evolved into an international business reception as representatives from overseas companies gradually joined.
The reporters on the first floor looked around, all with the same idea in mind: if they could sneak into the private room and snap a few photos, any one of them could make the headlines the next day, and the bonus would be a given.
However, Chen Yansen clearly did not want the media to get too involved.
Apart from staff from Toutiao, Douyin, Kuaishou, Sohu, and Tencent News who were allowed to take a few group photos, all other reporters were kept outside and were not even allowed to get close to the private room.
A dozen minutes later, around 10:30, Chen Yansen slowly got up and took the initiative to end the drinking session.
He knew very well that the reason why the higher authorities were making such a big fuss about organizing the first World Internet Conference was simply because China had just caught the wave of the mobile internet boom and wanted to accelerate the cross-border integration of e-commerce, finance, manufacturing and other fields.
In addition, Li Qingsong hopes to establish a dialogue mechanism led by non-European and American regions to break the existing pattern of "unipolar dominance" in internet governance.
Furthermore, with escalating friction between China and the United States in the area of intellectual property protection, Chinese companies face numerous compliance risks when going global.
To this end, the conference specially set up a cybersecurity sub-forum to provide cross-border enterprises with a window to understand international rules.
In short, the core objective of this conference is to "establish rules, build platforms, and point the way," helping China's internet industry to better integrate into the global landscape.
As Chen Yansen and his entourage walked out of the private room and downstairs, the reporters who had been waiting immediately raised their cameras, and the flashes went off one after another, illuminating the surrounding area of more than ten square meters as if it were daytime.
Cook walked on Chen Yansen's left, while Ma Wenteng walked on his right.
Behind Chen Yansen followed a large group of people, including Lei Yijun of Xiaomi, Zhou Hongyi of 360, Pei Yi of Kuaipao, Zhou Shouzhi of Orange Technology, and Liu Qiangdong of JD.com.
"Holy crap! The only person who could get Zhou Hongyi, Lei Yijun, and Ma Wenteng to eat at the same table is probably Chen Yansen, right?"
The reporter from Huxiu IT muttered in a low voice.
It's worth noting that during the "3Q War" and the "Little 3 War" back then, these individuals had a fierce feud. Rumors still circulate in the underworld that "Zhou Hongyi bought a plane ticket overnight and fled to Hong Kong Island" and "Zhou Hongyi and Lei Yijun arranged to fight offline and exchanged blows face to face." The grudges between them are considerable.
But now that Chen Yansen is hosting a banquet, even though the three of them have some reservations, they have no choice but to give him face and attend.
Upon reaching the entrance to the ancient town, Chen Yansen glanced at his watch and bid farewell to Ma Wenteng, Zhang Chaoyang, and the others: "Pony, Charles, it's getting late, I'll head back now."
He had originally planned to stay at a hotel in the ancient town, but Ye Qiuping sent him a photo while he was having dinner.
The photo shows an HCG blood test report issued by the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Orange Hospital.
With his knowledge, he immediately understood the meaning behind the numbers and changed his mind, asking Huang Boxiang to prepare a car and wait at the entrance.
"Aren't there boats in this ancient town? Let's take a boat tour, feel the autumn breeze, and have a glass of whiskey. It sounds wonderful!"
Zhang Chaoyang was listless during the day but full of energy at night. As soon as he heard that Chen Yansen was leaving, he immediately grabbed him and suggested taking a night tour of Sanhe Ancient Town.
"Let's do it another day."
Chen Yansen waved his hand in refusal.
Seeing this, Zhang Chaoyang, Ma Wenteng, and the others stopped trying to persuade him and watched Chen Yansen walk away.
Pei Yi, Liao Wei, Zhou Shouzhi, and others stayed in Sanhe Ancient Town.
After Chen Yansen left, many business representatives boarded the cruise ships in twos and threes, enjoying a leisurely boat ride on the waterways of the Jiangnan water town under the cover of night.
Of course, their main purpose was to discuss business.
On the other side.
Under the cover of night, a silver and blue Hongqi L5 sped along the elevated road toward Baohe District.
Not long after, the car came to a steady stop in front of Villa No. 6, Bihu Yunxi.
Chen Yansen got out of the car, walked through the courtyard, and went straight into the living room.
The room has underfloor heating, and above it hangs a dazzling crystal chandelier, emitting a warm orange light.
At this time, Ye Qiuping would usually be there already, holding slippers to greet her.
But at this moment, she was wrapped in a down comforter, lying on the soft sofa, her eyes closed, fast asleep.
She only woke up suddenly when Chen Yansen approached.
After recognizing Chen Yansen, he took a deep breath to calm himself, his chest rising and falling slightly, and asked sleepily, "Boss, you're back?"
As she spoke, she tried to get up by supporting herself on the sofa to get her slippers.
"Mr. Ye's land is quite fertile."
Chen Yansen plopped down on the sofa, gently pulled Ye Qiuping into his arms.
“It’s because the boss’s seeds are good.” Ye Qiuping looked up at Chen Yansen and chuckled.
"You can work from home for now, and I'll arrange for a few people to come and take care of you."
Chen Yansen stroked her hair, as if petting a kitten.
"Boss, you don't need to exaggerate! Many people work on the day they give birth, I can do it too."
Ye Qiuping shook her head, politely declining Chen Yansen's suggestion.
"In ancient times, you would be considered a traitor to the labor service."
Chen Yansen jokingly said, feigning seriousness.
"I just feel that as a person, you must rely on yourself."
Ye Qiuping bit her lip, a forced, innocent smile appearing on her face.
"Alright, just follow my instructions."
Chen Yansen made the decision directly.
Then, he gently lifted Ye Qiuping's nightgown, revealing her fair and smooth abdomen, with a tiny little belly.
He placed his palm against it, feeling it carefully.
Ye Qiuping giggled at the warmth of the palm in her hand and quickly explained, "It's only been three weeks, you can't tell anything yet."
"I know."
Chen Yansen responded and withdrew his hand.
"Boss, I probably won't be able to come here often for the next few months."
The temperature from the underfloor heating made Ye Qiuping's mouth dry. She subconsciously licked her lips and whispered a reminder.
Chen Yansen understood immediately, but didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly.
...
...
The next morning, before Chen Yansen even arrived in Sanhe Ancient Town, news of the two drinking parties the previous night had already gone viral.
On Chen Yansen's side, there were more than 30 entrepreneurs who came to the meeting. They were basically the backbone of China's Internet industry, such as Ma Wenteng, Liu Qiangdong, Zhou Hongyi, Zhou Shouzi, and Pei Yi.
Companies like Shanxing, Cisco, and Megaupload are examples of those that came uninvited, essentially joining on their own.
In stark contrast, there was a drinking party organized by Ma Liyun and Li Yanhong.
Only representatives from a few companies, including Youku, UC, Ctrip, Sina, iQiyi, and Zongheng Chinese, were present.
Because there were very few external companies, and they were all subsidiaries of Alibaba, Baidu, or their invested companies, netizens joked that it was like a company team building event, without even a hint of an "industry gathering" atmosphere.
The nighttime banquet in Sanhe Ancient Town is gaining more and more attention!
Judging from the results, Ma Liyun and Li Yanhong have undoubtedly become isolated figures, detached from the core circle of China's internet.
After all, in the e-commerce field, Ali is no match for Pinduoduo; and in the search engine field, Baidu can't beat Lingxi.
To put it bluntly, although Alibaba and Baidu are members of the "BAT" group, they have long since fallen to the second tier in terms of market position.
Sitting in a Maybach 62S with a Hangzhou license plate, Ma Liyun held an iPhone 6 Plus in her hand, her face growing increasingly grim as she read the comments from netizens on Weibo.
What angered him even more was that some netizens, presumably Alibaba employees, were making sarcastic and mocking remarks about him in the comments section.
"Old Ma is, after all, a teacher by training. He's good with words, but he's much worse with his employees. He doesn't pay overtime, and he forces you to write weekly reports and short papers every week. You do all of that without ever saying a word!"
"In terms of being a boss, Jack Ma isn't even worthy of carrying Chen Yansen's shoes! Of all the companies Ali has acquired in recent years, has any of them been profitable? They've all been money-losing ventures!"
"Young bosses are indeed good; they don't have the stench of the old era, and they don't think about forcing employees to work overtime voluntarily."
"If you think Ali is bad, why don't you go and work hard? You're eating Mr. Ma's food and smashing his bowl! Unlike me, I switched from Zhifubao to Orange Payment last year. To be honest, working four days a week and having three days off is really great!"
Ma Liyun scrolled through dozens of comments, almost all of which were overwhelmingly negative.
He couldn't help but wonder to himself: Did I really do something wrong?
But hasn't it always been like this?
If others can do it, why can't Alibaba?
Implementing a "four-day work week" system like Senlian Capital does will only cause employees to lose their fighting spirit!
Working from 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week, what's wrong with that?
Ahri pays high wages, and these young people from small towns, who have no cars or houses, don't want to work overtime.
Not long after, the car stopped at the entrance of the Sanhe Ancient Town Convention and Exhibition Center.
The autumn breeze is slightly cool, and the weather is nice.
The conference was filled with roll-up banners, posters, and promotional flags, and reporters gathered at the entrance, taking pictures of every entrepreneur present.
The scale and level of this World Internet Conference are far higher than those of previous Beijing Internet Conferences.
The fact that Han Jinheng and Li Qingsong attended together speaks volumes.
After getting out of the car, Ma Liyun forced a smile and waved to the reporters, but the smile didn't last two seconds before she noticed two rows of people in suits standing not far away.
The heads of more than a dozen companies, including Pinbei, Orange Technology, Orange Payment, OFO Bike, Mimo, Kuaipao, Yunsu, Kuaidi Dache, Xiaohongshu, Shenlan Technology, Tiangong Technology, and Xingyuan Technology, all gathered together.
When Lao Ma saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He hadn't paid attention before, but now he realized just how powerful Senlian Capital was, truly a formidable force.
These people stood at the door for a long time without going in, clearly waiting for Chen Yansen.
Clearly, in terms of status, influence, and prestige, Chen Yansen far surpasses him.
"Mr. Ma, since the March 8th promotion, Ali's daily active users and sales figures have both fallen below Pinduoduo's. What adjustments do you think Ali should make to regain its position as the market leader?"
"Mr. Ma, last night an employee of Alibaba posted on Maimai that Alibaba's senior managers often hold meetings with team members after get off work, forcing employees to voluntarily work overtime. Is this true?"
"Mr. Ma, can the collaboration between Ali and Uber defeat Kuaidi Dache?"
Reporters swarmed around, bombarding him with questions.
But Ma Liyun only listened to two sentences before she wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
What the hell are these questions?
You really want to slap me in the face?
He lowered his head, his face so gloomy it seemed to drip water, and walked into the conference hall without saying a word, escorted by security personnel.
Having been in business for many years, the fact that the reporter could keep Ma Liyun, who is usually a skilled orator, silent speaks speaks volumes about the reporter's skill.
The reporters actually wanted to provoke him so they could write more sensational reports, but Ma Liyun simply wouldn't take the bait.
But that doesn't matter. Even if he doesn't respond, reporters can still write headlines like "Ma Liyun turns pale at Wen Sen's words and is speechless in the face of questioning."
With the pen in your own hands, you can write however you want.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yanhong also arrived at the convention center by car.
But as soon as he got out of the car, a young man suddenly rushed out from the crowd, holding a bottle of mineral water, and poured it over Li Yanhong's head.
Instantly, the flashbulbs went off again.
All the reporters were frantically pressing the shutter button, afraid of missing this exciting moment.
"Li Yanhong! You son of a bitch! Baidu is full of shady medical ads. My brother died because he believed Baidu's recommendations!"
After the young man finished cursing, he threw the empty bottle away and kicked Li Yanhong in the stomach.
The intense pain instantly brought Li Yanhong to his senses and alerted the nearby security guards.
Two inspectors immediately rushed forward, subdued the young man, and took him away from the venue.
Li Yanhong stood there, soaked to the bone, looking like a drowned rat. Facing the reporters' cameras, he could only awkwardly force a smile.
Several media outlets that reacted quickly immediately sent people to follow the young man who was taken away, trying to uncover more details behind the incident.
Unscrupulous medical practices?
Just by hearing these words, you can tell that most people have been misled by Baidu's advertisements and have been scammed by unscrupulous hospitals.
This incident, occurring at such a crucial juncture as the World Internet Conference, has completely humiliated Baidu.
The news spread very quickly!
On Douyin and Kuaishou, there are videos of Li Yanhong being splashed with water.
“Sigh, I’m from the same city as this person. His younger brother’s condition wasn’t serious at first. If he had gone to a big hospital for treatment in time, he would have gotten better. But when he searched on Baidu, he was recommended to a shady hospital. They spent hundreds of thousands of yuan, and he died and all the money was gone.”
"Why is the bottle filled with water? If it were me, I would definitely fill it with aqua regia."
"Really? Who still uses Baidu these days? Why not use Lingxi? I've never seen a single medical advertisement for it."
Netizens have been discussing this extensively.
at the same time.
When Li Qingsong learned of this, his face immediately darkened, and he let out a cold snort as a nameless anger surged up within him.
The purpose of hosting the World Internet Conference was to showcase the positive image of Chinese internet companies to the international community and help them better "go global".
But if Li Yanhong's matter gets out, it won't just be a loss of face for Baidu, but for the entire country!
He wanted to try to suppress the hype, but by then the video had already been uploaded to Mimo and YouTube and spread far and wide, making it impossible to stop. He had no choice but to give up.
The opening ceremony of the conference officially began at 10:00 a.m.
Han Jinheng was the first to take the stage and deliver a speech, followed by Li Qingsong, Meng Yuanzhi, the head of the Business Association, and the head of the Internet Association.
After all the bigwigs finished speaking, Chen Yansen straightened his collar and walked steadily to the center of the podium.
If we were to name the most dazzling figure in the Chinese internet industry, the answer would undoubtedly be Chen Yansen.
In an instant, hundreds of media cameras were focused on him, and the flashes lit up the entire venue once again.
At the same time.
Standing in the heart of Asberba, Legggi announced his newly drafted development declaration to the world.
The declaration is concise and clear: through measures such as attracting investment, reducing or exempting taxes, and allocating land, we will vigorously develop local industries, increase national income, and ultimately achieve the goal of "everyone having enough to eat, wear, and read."
Most importantly, despite being extremely poor, Legge decided to pay a compensation of up to 74 million US dollars to China and European countries.
This compensation covers both the economic losses suffered by foreign nationals in Abyssinia and their personal injuries.
After all, in the past few years, Abyssinian armed members have committed many despicable acts such as looting, confiscating foreign-owned enterprises, and not paying for goods.
