Chapter 1022 Half of the Internet Industry
"Okay, I'll go over later."
Hearing the names of the current Internet industry bigwigs, Zhou Anan did not refuse.
It's right to keep a low profile, but you still have to participate in necessary social activities.
What's more, there will definitely be no reporters taking pictures at the gatherings of these bigwigs, so there is no need to worry about being too high-profile.
On the other hand, chatting and eating with these big guys who are still active in the Internet industry more than ten years later may help you learn a lot of knowledge that is not available in books.
At his level, learning never ends is not just a literal phrase.
"Okay, I've sent the time and place to your phone."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Anan looked at the time and place on the text message and couldn't help but smile.
I didn’t expect that Mr. Chen from TX would treat us to a meal in a private kitchen by the Huangpu River.
The style is just so-so.
"Boss Chen, who is that little brother you're talking about? He's so arrogant that he's making half of China's Internet industry wait for him?"
In an elegant small courtyard, a room shaded by bamboo trees was free from any heat. Seven middle-aged and young men were sitting around a large round table. Among them, the slightly plump and younger man smiled and joked.
What he said was right. The total market value of listed companies in China's domestic Internet industry is more than 70 billion US dollars. The combined market value of the companies of the seven people present is almost 20 billion US dollars, which can be said to be almost half of the country.
"Boss Shi, what you said is not quite right. Only when my little brother comes, can we be considered to have half of our domestic Internet industry."
Adjusting his glasses, Chen Yuhua, who looked handsome, smiled and corrected the mistakes in the other person's words.
"Could it be what Mr. Chen said?"
Yan Hongli, the chairman of Qiandu, who was sitting next to the other party, was startled and looked at the other party with speculation.
"It seems that President Yan has already guessed it."
Seeing the other party's thoughtful expression, Chen Yuhua, who knew that the other party's company also had cooperation with Mingliu Group, knew that Mr. Yan had guessed the identity of the young man, but did not continue to point it out.
It's rare to see a new Internet star that can make so many Internet industry bosses present guess what's going on. It can only be blamed on that young man who is too low-key in his daily life.
"Boss Yan, who is Boss Chen talking about?"
A square-faced young man on the other side asked Mr. Yan, who suddenly realized what was going on.
"Mr. Chen is right. Now that young man is here, our table can be considered as the half of the domestic Internet industry."
Without directly saying the man's name, the ordinary-looking Yan Hongli nodded and agreed with Chen Yuhua's words.
All in all, the reason why Qiandu’s stock price did not continue to fall sharply was thanks to its investment in Mingliu Group, which increased the confidence of some retail investors.
"Could it be that Mr. Chen and Mr. Yan were talking about the young chairman of Mingliu Group?"
The handsome young man with a middle-parted hairstyle, who had not spoken before, raised his eyebrows and expressed his guess.
This young man is known to both Mr. Chen of TX and Mr. Yan of Qiandu. They describe him as “little brother”. He is basically the behind-the-scenes leader of Mingliu Group, their biggest competitor in the old wave.
It is said that Mr. Zhou is completely different from ordinary young people. He is very low-key and rarely appears in public. Unexpectedly, he can see the true face of his opponent today.
"Zi"
At this time, the door opened. Seeing someone coming to the door, Chen Yuhua stood up with a smile and said, "Speak of the devil, and he will appear."
"Mr. Chen, everyone, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Taking a look at the only empty chair at the big round table, Zhou Anan knew that everyone was waiting for him, and said sorry.
Although she had only met Mr. Chen from TX briefly before, Zhou Anan was still deeply impressed by this boss who had been working in the Internet industry for many years and still maintained a handsome face.
"Brother An, this way. It's not too late. We heard from Mr. Shi from Yiwang that the braised pork here is good, so we couldn't wait to come here."
Motioning for the other person to sit in the empty chair next to him, Chen Yuhua made a joke and introduced everyone present: "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is my little brother, Zhou Anan, the founder of Mingliu Group."
"This is Mr. Zhang Tianhu from Tianhu."
"This is Mr. Yan Hongli from Qiandu."
"This is Mr. Shi Bingshi from Yiwang."
"This is Mr. Wang Yan from Jiulang."
"This is Mr. Li Jingzhang from Haicheng."
"This is Mr. Li Lei, the CEO of Yinshan, no, now he is a freelance investor."
Listening to Chen Yuhua's introduction, Zhou Anan, who knew the list of party attendees in advance, still had her heart beating one thousandth faster.
The handsome bespectacled TX chairman Chen Yuhua, the thin-faced middle-aged Tianhu chairman Zhang Tianhu, the ordinary middle-aged Qiandu chairman Yan Hongli, the slightly plump young Yiwang chairman Shi Bing, the handsome middle-parted young Jiulang chairman Wang Yan, the ordinary square-faced Haicheng chairman Li Jingzhang, the former Yinshan CEO with a square face and the future famous "Xiao Su" founder Li Lei
These are all current Internet celebrities, and they will not leave the stage of history for many years to come.
Well, I don’t have much impression of Mr. Wang from the old Lang. Maybe he was surpassed by the later ones.
All in all, this accounts for half of the Internet industry.
"Hahaha, Mr. Chen and Mr. Yan said before that only when people come, can we say that our table represents half of the domestic Internet industry. I was a little unconvinced before, but now I am convinced. Mr. Zhou, seeing is believing, I, Old Shi, would like to offer you a drink."
Shi Bing, who had asked the question earlier, raised his glass and toasted the other party with a warm smile.
"Boss Shi, you are joking. I am just a junior in front of you all. I still have a lot to learn from the seniors."
Faced with the toast from the chairman of Yiwang, Zhou Anan naturally had to give him face and drank the whole glass.
Fortunately, this wine glass is relatively small, but
"Cough cough cough"
The alcohol content of this liquor was too high. Zhou Anan was caught off guard and coughed a few times, and tears were almost coming out from the spiciness of the drink.
On weekdays, he seldom drinks alcohol, and usually drinks mild types such as red wine and cocktails. He rarely drinks high-proof liquor.
These days, there are very few people who can actually force him to drink white wine when socializing.
"Hahaha, Brother An, it's not okay for a man not to drink. Come, I'll toast you too."
Seeing the young brother coughing and blushing, Wang Yan from Jiulang picked up the wine glass and prepared to toast him again.
"Old Wang, please don't take this opportunity to retaliate. If you want to drink, I'll drink with you. How can you bully a junior? Waiter, bring a bottle of Lafite."
Yan Hongli, the chairman of Qiandu, spoke up to help and asked the waiter to bring some red wine.
Their Qiandu can be considered a beneficiary of the rapid development of the Mingliu Group. Although he and this young brother have never met each other, they have been friends for a long time and this time they finally met.
"That's right, Mr. Wang, we don't take advantage of the wine table to take revenge."
With Yan Hongli's support, Shi Bing, who had already toasted, also spoke for the younger brother.
When he toasted him before, perhaps he had some resentment because the other party was young but his achievements surpassed his, but he let it go after drinking this glass of wine.
"It's okay, Mr. Wang, I did it."
Faced with the help of the two "old seniors", Zhou Anan felt a little touched, but she took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and drank a glass with the old Lang Chairman Wang, and drank it all in one gulp.
Since the establishment of Mingliu Group, the market value of Mingliu Micro-Customer has been rising steadily, thanks to the support of its peer Jiulang.
From another perspective, their Mingliu Group also stood up on the shoulders of the success of the old Lang in its previous life.
It is reasonable for Zhou Anan to offer a toast to the former chairman of Lang.
