Chapter 204: On the Sword
The afternoon meeting ended amid the speeches of industry talents, experts, scholars, and corporate leaders.
In the evening, the organizers of the Internet Conference provided a sumptuous dinner for the delegates.
Because Lou Chenguo didn't know many people, during the dinner, Ma Zhongyun took the initiative to invite Lou Chenguo to sit with him.
The dinner hosted by the Internet Conference was still very sumptuous. After all, there were so many associations and ministries and commissions that they were not short of money at all.
"Brother Lou, let's have a drink together?" Ma Zhongyun invited after the banquet.
Lou promised that he would be fine, so he asked Li Zhiqiang and Chen Ming to go back first, while he took Ma Zhongyun's car to a teahouse near the location of the Internet Conference.
Seeing Ma Zhongyun greeting the teahouse staff in a familiar way, Lou Chenggong thought he would have come here a lot.
The two of them came to an antique private room, and their own tea artist made tea for them.
"Brother Ma, aren't you from Hangzhou? Why do you feel like you come to Beijing very often?" Lou Chengnuo asked Ma Zhongyun while watching the dignified and elegant tea artist sitting upright in front of the antique tea table.
"When are we doing business? We don't travel around the world? We naturally have more time to come to this capital." Ma Zhongyun said with a smile.
"Brother Lou, I remember you are a media person, why did you suddenly think of crossing the Internet?" Ma Zhongyun asked while tasting the tea.
He was really curious about Lou’s promise. Although the Internet in this era is a high-tech thing.
But after all, it has just developed, and the industrial energy has not yet been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and its status in all walks of life is not very high. It is far from the point where you want to get involved with the Internet when doing anything in the future.
Even in terms of laws and regulations, there are not many industry norms, that is, there are still many gaps in legal awareness of Internet-operated projects.
The business that Lou promised to inherit is the TV media industry with a wide audience, including Ma Zhongyun. I don’t know how much higher the status of the Internet.
It can be said that there are still many people across the country who don’t know the Internet, but there are only one out of ten people who don’t know about TV. After all, this is an industry that has been developing for half a century.
So many Internet colleagues are curious about the fact that a TV station suddenly invested in establishing an Internet search company, and the TV station director personally served as the chairman.
It is not uncommon for the news industry to invest in the Internet. After all, the Internet platform is born with the news industry. Traditional media can gain greater communication capabilities with the help of the Internet, which is a win-win situation.
But what does TV stations invest in the Internet? There is no such business as online marketing at this stage. After all, in terms of audiences, it can be said that 80% of netizens are TV viewers, so there is no need for TV stations to market on the Internet in one go.
"I'm sure that although the TV media industry is in the golden age, the development of things has ups and downs. An industry has sunrise and sunsets. I have a premonition that the good days of TV media will pass in about ten years."
Looking back at the future, the audiences who originally belonged to TV were separated by the Internet, which had rich content and strong interactiveness. Fewer people watched TV. Among young people's household goods, TV is no longer an indispensable part.
It may not be said that the TV media industry is completely dead, but it is absolutely possible that the TV media will decline like the radio industry.
"We must always be prepared for danger in times of peace and stability in our lives. In my opinion, the Internet industry has great potential in the future. Whether it is to broaden profit channels or invest in the future, the Internet is a good industry in my opinion!" said Lou Chengnuo.
Looking at Lou Chengun's decisive look, Ma Zhongyun smiled and said, "Why do I feel that Brother Lou is more confident in the future development of the Internet than I do?"
"Haha, I'm a young man. I naturally have great expectations for such a new thing as the Internet, and my expectations will naturally be higher." Lou Chengnuo said with a smile.
Lou Chenggong naturally won’t tell Ma Zhongyun that his confidence in the Internet comes from knowing how large the Internet economy will be in the future.
In the teahouse private room, the two of them were having tea while chatting about the world.
Lou promises come from the future. Based on the Internet with developed information, he has a rich knowledge reserve. His many insights on the Internet in his words and conversations made Ma Zhongyun know that Lou promises that this young man has a very insightful view on the Internet.
"In July before the New Year, when I went to Lugang for a trip, I was fortunate to meet my idol Jin Yong at "Yongji Restaurant"." Ma Zhongyun said.
Like Y, Ma Zhongyun is both a martial arts fan and a little fan of Jin Yong.
"Later, when I returned to Hangzhou and drank tea on Longjing Mountain, I suddenly had a sudden whim."
"Oh? What is it?" Lou Chengnuo said in confusion.
"What do you think I will hold a birthday party by the West Lake in autumn? I will invite a few friends to come and relax, and then find a way to invite Mr. Jin Yong to sign everyone's books, and then have a "worry about heroes" in the IT industry?" Ma Zhongyun said excitedly.
"I had some thoughts when I came back from Lugang. I also contacted several friends, and they were all a little moved. I called this party 'West Lake Sword Contest'. I wonder if Brother Lou was interested in participating in it in September?"
Hearing this, Lou Chengnuo suddenly realized that what Ma Zhongyun was talking about was the famous West Lake Sword Summit in the Internet world in his previous life.
This summit is a top industry summit for top Internet entrepreneurs to talk about the future development of the Internet.
Its first session was hosted by Jin Yong, Zhang cy, Ding ei, Wang juntao and Ma Yun chatted about the future of the Internet by the West Lake.
The "West Lake Sword Contest" organized by y was held for six times. Under the banner of "communications from the world", y's circle of friends became more and more lively. In the fifth session, former US President Bill Clinton came, Yahoo Jerry Yang came, and in the sixth session, Schwarzenegger, and then ebayceo John Donahue also came - y became more and more skilled in dancing.
In his previous life, the only one who made the label "Jin Yong fan" known to everyone was probably the only one in the Internet circle.
But this summit, historically speaking, should have been held in September before. How could the parallel world be postponed to this day? It's really strange.
"Of course, Brother Ma invited me warmly, how could I not give face!" Lou Chengnuo said with a smile.
In the West Lake Sword Contest, he could only learn a little or two about this summit through news in the Internet in his previous life.
