Sitting in the cigar bar, everyone talked about a wide range of topics.

From the real estate market to domestic policies, international affairs, and finally the market development and entrepreneurship trend...

Even for business leaders, it is impossible for every person to understand everything.

Therefore, it is actually very meaningful to participate in such a topic discussion on such an occasion.

For example, Chen Fan heard a lot of inside information in less than an hour.

And all of this inside information cannot be measured in money.

Chen Fan couldn't help but think of what Bai Ruoxue had talked about with him some time ago about the importance of circles.

What kind of class comes into contact with what kind of circle.

A millionaire’s circle of friends must be millionaires themselves, and they cannot enter the circle of billionaires.

Of course, they had no way of knowing some of the business inside stories that Chen Fan and the others were talking about today.

Since his rebirth, the five-year-old Chen Fan has spent six years, and finally he can sit here and talk with these guys who are stirring up the domestic private enterprise market.

Today was Chen Fan's first appearance in this circle, and he performed well. Everyone was impressed by him, and it was a perfect start.

After the group chat, everyone entered the private chat mode and started chatting privately with familiar friends in twos and threes.

They are bigwigs and founders in the business circle and can make all the decisions on their own for their own enterprises. Therefore, many projects with a value of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions are achieved through such private conversations.

Wang Shi, Pan Yi and Yu Minhong got together to discuss real estate policies, while Ding San from Netwing and Boss Ma from Penguin were talking about the future game market.

Chen Fan was surrounded by Li Yanhong, Ma Yun, Liu Qiangdong and others, and was asked to talk in detail about the speech he gave at the afternoon summit.

In the afternoon speech, Chen Fan talked about the direction. Now in front of everyone, Chen Fan gave a detailed and specific account of his views and predictions on mobile Internet.

Everyone listened very attentively and seriously. And it was obvious that everyone's eyes looking at Chen Fan began to change.

Don't look down on him because of his age.

With Chen Fan's predictions and insights, it is only natural that he can achieve his current success.

After talking nonstop for half an hour, Chen Fan finally got a chance to take a break.

I sat alone, drinking tea and relaxing, listening to the conversation of the group next to me.

Ma Yun was complaining to everyone that the domestic e-commerce market seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and the growth rate of netizens' shopping desire was slowing down.

Hearing this topic, Chen Fan suddenly had an idea.

A thought flashed through my mind.

Can I tell Ma Yun about the Double 1 shopping carnival?

As far as I can remember, Taobao launched the Double One event in its previous life in 2009.

Now it is 2007, there are still two years to go. If I tell Ma Yun, then Taobao will make preparations and officially start the Double 1st to prepare for next year's Double 1st.

It’s totally fine to start a year in advance.

And Chen Fan knew that the Double 1 Shopping Carnival was one of the important turning points in Taobao's future development.

It was thanks to this activity that Taobao entered a period of rapid development and has been unstoppable ever since.

If I told Ma Yun about this idea in advance, how much favor would he owe me?

"Have you ever thought about holding a shopping carnival event on Taobao at a specific time?"

Finally, Chen Fan seized the opportunity and casually proposed this suggestion while chatting with Ma Yun alone.

Ma Yun was stunned: "Shopping Carnival?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "I don't do e-commerce, so I don't know much about your business development strategy."

"But I think if we can hold a special discount promotion at a specific time every year, for example, on Double 1, we can unite all the merchants on Taobao.com to hold a special discount promotion. It will definitely be very lively."

"It not only stimulates consumers' shopping desire, but also boosts merchants' sales. Most importantly, it also promotes Taobao."

“A win-win situation.”

Ma Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.

He was so excited that he could hardly sit still, waving a cigar in his mouth.

"Brother Chen, your suggestion...maybe it will work."

"If it really works, it won't just be a win-win-win situation, it will also have a profound impact on the consumption habits of all Internet users in the country."

"By then, more and more people will become more accustomed to shifting from offline physical store shopping to online shopping..."

"In this case... the significance of this activity is really great."

Ma Yun couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and walked around the room several times.

"Yes, yes, that's what you should do. That's what you should do..."

"This is a brilliant idea."

"Brother Chen, you are my lucky star."

“If this idea can really be implemented and succeed, you will be the benefactor of the entire Alibaba.”

Seeing Ma Yun dancing with excitement, the bosses nearby laughed and joked: "What's wrong with you, Ma? Why are you so excited?"

Ma Yun did not directly announce Chen Fan's suggestion, but gave a mysterious smile of excitement.

"I was just chatting with Brother Chen, and he suddenly gave me a brilliant idea."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Fan.

As a result, Chen Fanxiao smiled mysteriously and said nothing.

Now everyone is even more curious.

However, the person concerned did not say anything, so we could not force him to ask.

Lei Jun smiled and joked: "Then Mr. Ma owes Mr. Chen a favor, and he will have to give Mr. Chen a red envelope when the time comes."

Ma Yun laughed: "Haha, red envelopes are of course indispensable."

"And Brother Chen is now an investment of our group. We are comrades in the same boat."

After hearing this, everyone laughed.

Everyone knows that Chen Fan had invested in Ma Yun in his personal name before.

Being able to discover and invest in Ma Yun when Taobao was still in its infancy just proves Chen Fan's vision.

When he heard about the investment, Liu Qiangdong, who was sitting next to him, had a slight twinkle in his eyes and stared at Chen Fan, not knowing what he was thinking.

When everyone was attracted by other topics, Liu Qiangdong finally came to Chen Fan.

"Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Liu, please take a seat."

Chen Fan greeted with a smile.

"I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so knowledgeable about e-commerce."

As soon as Liu Qiangdong sat down, he found a topic.

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head: "What do I know? I just made a small suggestion. Don't listen to Mr. Ma's nonsense."

"Mr. Liu's JD.com has grown rapidly in the past two years. It may become a strong rival to Mr. Ma in the future."

Liu Qiangdong was startled and shook his head.

"Mr. Chen thinks too highly of me. I am almost too worried to eat now."

"Oh?" Chen Fan looked over with a smile, "Is your business in trouble?"

Liu Qiangdong smiled and nodded, his expression hesitated for a moment, then looked up and asked.

“I wonder what Mr. Chen thinks of the domestic logistics industry?”
