Chapter 715: Shuangma Cooperation
At night, the lights were on and the opening ceremony of the conference was over. Jiang Qin took Su Nai, Wei Lanlan, Dong Wenhao and the Gaode delegation to visit the small town in Jiangnan and have dinner.
During this time, his phone was always on.
The rich lady at home called him, watched the news about him, and called him "husband" all the time.
"I went to bed after watching the replay. I couldn't stay up late, and there weren't many shots of me in the opening ceremony."
"I understand, brother."
"Remember to drink milk and soak your feet before going to bed, but don't check Weibo anymore. I see you following those bloggers who are trying to gain traffic and shouting that your husband is so handsome every day. It's not like I will be the husband of whoever shouts the most."
"Whose husband are you then?"
"I'm the stupid husband."
"I'm not stupid!"
Feng Nanshu retorted with a stern face, but couldn't help pouting, with a somewhat fierce and cute expression. Then she turned on the speakerphone and gently put the phone close to her belly, as if she wanted to let Jiang Ainan hear her father's voice.
Jiang Qin walked onto the arch bridge of the water town at this time. His figure was illuminated by the orange light from above, and he smiled like a pervert.
Wang Haini and Gao Wenhui occasionally spoke incoherently, describing a bunch of stupid things Feng Nanshu had done because she missed him, making the phone call sound like a crosstalk.
Sometimes Feng Nanshu doesn’t express her longing directly, so these two best friends act as her mouthpieces.
Then Yuan Youqin's voice appeared, telling him not to be too busy in the meeting, to remember to eat, and asked him when he would be back.
"There will be a formal meeting tomorrow, and I will also attend several sub-forums, and then have a dialogue with Xiaomi on the same stage. I think I will be able to go back the day after tomorrow night."
"Then don't be too busy in the future. There is no end to making money. Your current achievements are beyond my dreams."
"Got it. When I get back, I'll be eagerly waiting for your granddaughter to be born."
Yu Yongjie followed behind, looking at the happiness on Jiang Qin's face, and thought that President Jiang left all his viciousness to friendly competitors, and all his tenderness to his family.
Afterwards, Jiang Qin hung up the phone and called Lao Cao again, asking him kindly if he had watched the news.
Ever since the young master was shot through the screen, he has quit watching TV. After receiving Jiang Qin's call, he shouted into the receiver, "Don't bark like a dog."
But in fact, it was of no use for Cao Guangyu to quit watching TV, as his social circle was full of news about Jiang Qin.
For example, Jian Chun posted a circle of friends after dinner. He was so shining in any university, and now he is shining among the stars. The picture below is a screenshot of the news showing Jiang Qin and Uncle Ma sitting together.
On the Internet platform, discussions about the International Internet Conference are becoming increasingly intense.
Looking at the speeches of those industry representatives and those astonishing statistics, everyone seemed to have really witnessed the feeling of this prosperity as I wished.
As the second day of the Internet Conference was held, more videos were reposted to major platforms and became the hot search topic.
For example, Jiang Qin and Lei Jun discussed new retail on stage, Liu Qiangdong gave a personal speech, foreign Internet representative Robert Kahn lamented the development of China's Internet, and Baidu's CEO Li announced that he would focus on developing driverless technology in the second half of the year.
But soon, all these people were overshadowed by two other people, who are the two most valuable Mr. Ma in today's Internet business circle.
As old enemies and sworn enemies, it is extremely rare to see the two Ma in the same frame, because every time they meet, they will quarrel with each other and neither of them will give in, just like their competitive relationship in the business field.
Tencent launched WeChat, Alibaba immediately launched Laiwang, and invested in the recently popular Momo.
Tencent Video laid out its plans for the film and television industry, and Alibaba quickly acquired Youku.
Tencent has QQ Music, and Alibaba came up with Xiami Music, although in the end it became as meaningless as Xiami.
Subsequently, Tencent acquired China Literature Group, and Alibaba was also considering creating Alibaba Literature.
Similarly, Tencent is never polite to Alibaba.
Alibaba invested in the second-hand platform Xianyu, and Tencent quickly launched Zhuan Zhuan.
In addition, seeing that Alibaba's e-commerce business was growing bigger and bigger, Tencent also spent a lot of money to build its own e-commerce platform, Paipai and QQ Mall, intending to get a piece of the pie, but it failed to make it, so it packaged the entire thing and sold it to Taobao's competitor JD.com.
The two men seldom met each other, but they often fought.
But this time, the atmosphere when they were in the same frame was particularly different.
Neither of the two Mr. Ma showed any aggressiveness, and the conversation was exceptionally harmonious. The two even seemed to be joking when they said they hoped Alibaba and Tencent would have more opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Ma Yun said that Tencent is an excellent company and that Alibaba needs to learn a lot from it. Another Mr. Ma said that Alibaba is a great company that has truly changed everyone's lives with technology.
Mr. Ma laughed and said that he also used WeChat, and another Mr. Ma said that he also had a balance on his Alipay account.
The conversation between the two sparked countless discussions, which lasted until the end of the conference, and even the guests present were a little confused.
“What is Alibaba and Tencent trying to do?”
“I’m not sure, but if these two companies really want to open up cooperation, the Internet industry will probably change.”
"I think this is just empty talk. WeChat Pay and Alipay are competing so fiercely, and both sides are digging into each other's foundation. How can they just cooperate?"
"I also think it's just polite talk. After all, the theme of the conference is interconnection and it's not surprising to cater to the ideas of the leaders. But everyone knows that these two people never eat at the same table."
"Why didn't Mr. Jiang go?"
"Of course he didn't invite me. If he had, he would have gone long ago. I've never seen a dinner party that Mr. Jiang didn't take advantage of."
"No way, Mr. Jiang is so rich and still wants to use it for free?"
"You haven't been in contact with group buying, so you probably don't know. He once said that his industrial park was built by freeloading."
At this time, users on the online platform also had heated discussions about the dialogue between the two Mas, and some commercial self-media even used words such as "clearing up past grievances?" or "reconciliation of the century?"
Reconciliation and reconciliation are both good words, but the question mark that follows them represents uncertainty.
From the birth of Alibaba to its growth, the competition between the two sides has never stopped. Can they really put aside their past grievances?
Then soon, a photo was leaked on the Internet, which seemed to cast another layer of doubt on the strange performance of the two Ma on the same stage.
This photo is a picture of the dinner party at the Wuzhen Conference. In the middle sits Liu Chuanzhi, Chairman of Lenovo China, with the two Ma's sitting on both sides. Next to them are Cheng Wei of BIBI, Chen Chuanxing, CEO of Kuaidi, and a woman with short hair.
Some people said that the old photos should not be brought up, but someone soon pointed out that the location was the Si Shui Nian Hua Winery near the venue of the Internet Conference.
Netizens who did not understand the deeper meaning called it a 100 billion yuan dinner, but some people regretted that no one from Pintuan and Baidu showed up. If the presidents of these two companies had also shown up, then this dinner could be called the most expensive in history.
"Are you really eating at the same table?"
"I don't know if it's voluntary or not, but they all look so smiling. Maybe someone is acting as a peacemaker?"
"Who is this woman?"
"I don't know her. She's Mr. Ma's daughter, right? To be honest, I even know her birthday, but she still owes me a QQ membership."
"I don't know how much their food costs. I may never be able to afford it in my lifetime."
"One makes money from you and your son, and the other makes money from your wife and daughter. You actually paid for this meal, so don't feel sad. At least you feel fully involved."
"Fuck, you make me feel even worse. How much money do I make?"
June 21st is the summer solstice. Shanghai is brightly lit at night and the entire Hongqiao Airport is brightly lit.
The first International Internet Conference has officially ended, and a lot of messages have been conveyed.
For example, strengthening network security control, promoting the globalization of the Internet industry, Internet financial control regulations, and prohibiting monopoly and "choose one of two" policies.
The People's Daily and Xinhua News Agency successively published summaries of the conference, and the entire event ended successfully.
The group delegation returned to Shanghai on the same day's flight, and happened to encounter a night rain, which added a touch of coolness to the early summer night.
At that time, Jiang Qin turned off the flight mode of his phone, took a look at the little rich woman's WeChat, and suddenly saw the dinner photo forwarded by Lu Feiyu, and his brows frowned slightly.
Mobile Internet is fast. Sometimes you are completely unaware of things happening right next to you, but people thousands of miles away may know about them first and even forward them to you.
"What delicious food did you eat? Why didn't you call me?"
"Both Uncle Ma are so mean. I invited them to my wedding, and I'm planning to invite him to Jiang Ainan's birthday party too. This is called pattern."
Jiang Qin muttered something, turned around and got into the car, following the night rain and leaving the airport.
At this moment, an even more unexpected piece of news came, catching people off guard.
Bibi and Kuaidi announced their cooperation and opened up taxi channels to each other. That is to say, when using Bibi to hail a taxi, if the Kuaidi car is closest, then the Kuaidi driver can also grab the order, and vice versa.
The updated versions of the two apps were soon launched, heralding the official alliance between the two ride-hailing platforms.
But this is not the most important thing. What is important is that WeChat Pay is connected to Bibi’s payment page, and Alipay is connected to Kuaidi. The two major companies have begun to share online payment users in the taxi-hailing field.
