Chapter 180: Views on money.
After resting in the hotel for about two hours, the staff of the meeting organizer notified Fang Li to attend the meeting in the afternoon.
Fang Li and Rebs arrived at the scene together and found that there were really many celebrities. Alima was naturally the most conspicuous one. It was easy to see in the crowd. Zhou Hongyi of 360 was also among them, including Dianping's co-founder Long Wei, Dangdang.com's Li Guojing, and of course Mahua Teng.
What’s more interesting is that Mahua Teng and Alima both sat in the same row, but one sat in the middle of the left and the other sat in the middle of the right. The two never had any eye contact, and looked like they were not seeing the king.
Rebs hesitated for a moment and walked to the right, but Fang Li walked straight towards Alima.
"Mr. Ma has been in a good mood recently."
Alima smiled and shook hands with Fang Li: "It's okay, but it's not as bright as Fang Li's face. How about it? Leave me one for the advertising space for the Spring Festival Gala red envelope?"
"Mr. Ma was joking. Alipay soon caught up with me with such a little trick." Fang Li started to play Tai Chi.
This is not a compliment to Alibaba. This year, Alibaba officially renamed Taobao Mall to Tmall Mall. The upcoming fourth Double Eleven will create a myth of over 10 billion in 11 hours. With such a huge user base, even if Fang Li uses a killer weapon like the Spring Festival Gala red envelope, it will be difficult to shake the industry status of Alipay NO1. His main goal this time is WeChat and Tenpay.
As long as the penguin is cut off, the penguin's monopoly can be broken to a certain extent.
Alibaba Ma smiled unanimously. The meeting happened to begin. The meeting was also highly valued. The leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also attended. Many bigwigs with billions of dollars could only patiently listen to the speeches of leaders of various departments.
Of course, these leaders' speeches are not all without nutritional nonsense. There is still some information contained in it, but these useful information is hidden in the smelly and long modified grammar. If you don't listen carefully, you may pass by it in a flash.
The meeting was held until seven o'clock, and the overall meaning was actually the same. The top was about to increase the coverage area of the mobile network. You should quickly strengthen the software.
Fang Li sat up straight and was about to flee, but found that the organizer of the meeting had actually arranged a dinner party.
However, there was no chance to have a good dinner at all. A leader would come to persuade him to drink, and a colleague would come to get close to him. Fang Li was so hungry when he returned to the hotel that he had to order a takeaway.
The next day, the Internet Conference officially held its opening ceremony, and the leaders made another passionate speech. It was not until the "Hall of Fame - Internet Trend Forum" section that the industry tycoons began to be invited to speak on stage.
Alima's speech was still as passionate as ever, and it was very infectious. There was only a burst of camera shutter clicks on the scene, which was much warmer than the previous leaders' speeches. The media also favored Alima, who was good at speaking, who dared to speak.
Mahua Teng's speech was relatively unobtrusive, and her speech was stable and she said some correct nonsense.
"New Recruitment" like Fang Li who was invited for the first time naturally was not qualified to speak in this session, and he was happy to make a fuss. For him, the biggest gain of this meeting was to get familiar with some big shots in the circle.
Until the afternoon of September 13, Fang Li thought that he had checked in and completed the task at this Internet conference, but the organizer suddenly found him and asked him to serve as a guest at the "Internet Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum".
"Mr. Fang, I'm really embarrassed. The previous guest had an emergency and suddenly asked for leave. In addition, the online call for you to be a guest in this section has always been very high..."
This is to be honest. After all, there is no second one in China who has achieved such success at a young age. In addition, Fang Li's influence in the college student group, to put it bluntly, those who have time to pay attention to this Internet conference are either practitioners or college students, and ordinary people are too lazy to pay attention to it.
"It's okay, then I'll prepare it first." After all, it's the top organization, so I still have to give this little face, so Fang Li agreed.
"Welcome to all guests, the reporter came from afar to participate in our Internet Conference, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum section. Below, please invite our guests of this forum, Tian Fanjiang, CEO of Baihe.com, Die Kebing, CEO of Liepin.com, and Fang Li, founder of Tutoring.com..."
Tian Fanjiang, who appeared first, received a lot of applause and was very popular, which was also related to the popularity of Jiangsu Satellite TV. Baihe.com has thus become the hottest dating website at the moment.
After that, Dykebing's applause became weaker. After all, it is difficult for anyone to like the recruitment website. It is basically only available when you need to find a job, which is a weak need.
Fang Li's appearance aroused extremely warm applause at the scene. The white light flashed by the reporters' cameras once made everyone unable to open their eyes to the rostrum.
It was not until Fang Li sat down that the scene gradually became quiet. The host said warmly: "Thank you for taking the time to come to our forum and share your views on Internet entrepreneurship with you. I believe that this exchange can also bring some inspiration to many young people who want to start a business."
"Then let's start with Mr. Tian from Baihe.com. As far as I know, Mr. Tian studies science, so why did he think of doing this kind of marriage and dating website? After all, in everyone's impression, science and engineering men are not good at expressing themselves."
Tian Fanjiang pushed his glasses: "Actually, in my opinion, sometimes it is precisely because you are not good at a certain aspect that you have a better chance of breakthroughs. If you stay in an environment for a long time, you will easily be restricted by some inherent frameworks."
After a brief applause, the host looked at Die Kbing and Fang Li: "Mr. Dai, Mr. Fang, do you agree with Mr. Tian's opinion?"
Dykebing looked at Fang Li, and Fang Li made a gesture of invitation. Dykebing said, "Actually, how long you spend in an industry is different from whether you have innovation. Innovation depends on continuous learning, breakthroughs in thinking, and building a familiar field. The chances of success in entrepreneurship will be improved. It is best for young people to start a business or choose a familiar field."
The two sides had completely different opinions, and the host and the audience's eyes fell on Fang Li for a moment.
Fang Li thought for a while: "Actually, Mr. Tian and Mr. Dai said it very well just now, but I personally prefer to integrate the two of you. One thing Mr. Dai said is right. It is best for young people to start a business for the first time. However, if you are an entrepreneur with rich experience, I suggest you still break out of the familiar industry because you already know enough about this industry but never succeed. Either it is bad luck or your thinking has been solidified by the rules of this industry. At this time, you may have unexpected gains."
The host added: "Just like Fang Li started out as a tutoring website, but later he suddenly went to takeout and group buying."
"It's almost the same, because I am a college student myself, so of course I understand some of the characteristics of our group more." Fang Li nodded.
After the applause gradually disappeared, the host asked another question: "How do you think about innovation?"
Tian Fanjiang thought for a while: "In my opinion, innovation is a unique attribute of the Internet industry. Looking at all industries in the world, there has never been an industry that has been updated so quickly like the Internet industry."
Dykebing nodded: "I agree with Mr. Tian's point of view."
The host looked at Fang Li: "What do you think, Mr. Fang?"
Fang Li originally wanted to say that the update of the Internet may not only be innovation, but also monopoly, but now it is too offensive to say this. Moreover, the entire Chinese society is developing rapidly and rapidly, and the superiors are also deliberately supporting some Internet companies to fight against the Internet giants in the United States. It is useless to say this now.
In the end, Fang Li just nodded.
The host asked a few more questions, and then it was the turn of the audience to ask questions.
A girl wearing glasses was selected and asked, "Student Fang, can I call you that?"
Fang Li nodded: "Of course."
The girl asked again: "I see the host's introduction to you. The prefix is the founder of Tutoring Network, not the most popular Yifu now. Can you explain why?"
"Of course." Fang Li paused: "Actually, the tutoring website has a very special significance for me personally. It makes me understand that when starting a business, you cannot just make money, but you also have to bear a lot of responsibilities."
After the applause, the girl asked again: "Do you think these responsibilities are burdens?"
"I don't think it's a burden, but a motivation. In fact, sometimes just think about it. We come from all over the world and work hard for the same goal. If it's you, would you think it's a burden?"
"Of course not." The girl said loudly: "Thank you, I have no problem."
A middle-aged man was selected and threw the problem to Fang Li.
"Mr. Fang, as far as I know, the valuation of these three companies, including the tutoring network, Dianshi network and Yifu, has exceeded 15 billion, and your net worth should be several billion. I want to hear your opinion on money."
Fang Li almost blurted out: I have never touched money, I have no interest in money.
He almost held back and took a breath, Fang Li said: "Money is of course a good thing. Many things in this world require money to buy, especially now that the housing prices are so expensive, right?"
"In my opinion, it is actually understandable to pursue wealth. Young people today should not be ashamed to talk about money. As long as they are legally earned through their own labor, there is nothing difficult to say, especially when you talk to your boss about salary, as long as you think your abilities are enough to match a higher salary, even if you talk to your boss, don't listen to them painting big cakes. These people are the worst! Of course, including me."
"Haha~~~" Fang Li's self-deprecation caused a burst of laughter on the scene.
"Of course, there are more things in this world that are worth pursuing than money, such as love. If you are in the youth, don't worry about the material conditions of the person you like. Let's have the purest love to live up to your youth."
"For example, friendship, if you have a confidant in life, you will die without regrets. Never stay away because your friends are poor. Cherish every friend who will sing the opposite tune when you are proud. They may be a life-and-death friend who can hang on both sides of your life and death for you."
