Chapter 608: The Art of Language
As Wen Xiaoguang expected, the first meeting failed to talk about anything good, everyone knows, at this time, Mr. Liu is still in the fortune period, but his unique vision in business has begun to flash as early as two years ago.
Ten years later, looking at the interview he accepted on CCTV at that time, in the e-commerce industry, all his opponents were said to be successful.
At that time, Wen Xiaoguang had just started his business, and Vancl Eslite was in full swing.
But Liu Qiangdong believes that although they are all online malls, the difference between Vancl and JD is that in essence, JD is retail, while Vancl is a brand, and Vancl started with a shirt of 29 yuan, but the problem is that the brand must have a brand premium.
The example he gave was LV, everyone knew that the bag cost a few hundred yuan, but some people were willing to spend 8,000 yuan to buy it.
That's the brand premium.
And Vancl does not have this ability, and the shirt priced at 29 yuan is priced at 39 and no one will buy it immediately, so the brand is not eligible to make a profit.
It turned out that he was right.
Liu Qiangdong also believes that it is Li Guoqing's judgment that Dangdang does not invest in logistics, and logistics can be contracted to a third party, but his judgment is that there will be no third party that can provide high-quality services within ten years. Fortunately, Jingdong has put up logistics, otherwise the federation of rookie logistics makes him quite uncomfortable.
The same is true for Amazon China and Suning, maybe the details are not particularly correct, he is not a fortune teller after all, and there will always be some changes in the future.
But in the ten years since 2010, he has basically judged the future trends of JD.com's competitors.
Maybe there is one he doesn't want to be right, that is, Ali will become stronger and stronger,
Unfortunately, he was right.
Every company has a reason for success.
Wen Xiaoguang naturally would not despise this ruthless man who broke into Beijing with 76 eggs because of Alibaba's hugeness.
But even so, nothing was said in the first meeting.
He wanted to ask about milk tea,
It's just that I found out later on the Internet that Milk Tea just came to Tsinghua University to study last year, and the two should not know each other at this time.
There are no such rumors in Beijing, if they are together, he will definitely know.
And at the same time, in Hong Kong.
Ma Yun was busy raising funds, and at the same time he was also a little mentally prepared for the company's reaction to give him feedback on Weituo, Wen Xiaoguang hung up the phone very happily, and he knew what would happen.
But the other party claimed that if Ali insisted, then the cooperation would be terminated.
It's a bit overdone.
Maybe I have always felt that Wen Xiaoguang has always been a good-natured person,
“...... No matter how good-tempered a person is, it is the same when he is touched to the core. He is the same as Ma Huateng, he looks gentle, but as soon as he touches his socialization, he immediately changes his face, this is Ma Huateng No. 2. ”
Ma Yun should have been in a bad mood in the past year, always with a black face, if you go back to watch his videos, you will also find that the harshest speeches were all said in those years, and then passed the life and death moment, relaxed, and began to fool around the world.
However, in the matter of Wen Xiaoguang, his mood is not bad, "My judgment is...... I don't think they want to do that. I'm talking about thinking, not no, young people are sometimes thin-skinned and don't speak so loudly about things they can't do. ”
"But it doesn't matter if we're old fritters, if the reaction is so intense, let's slow down a little bit, and get through the moment. Because they don't want to, as long as we don't move, Weituo will still be willing to cooperate, and they will take so much traffic to monetize, and cut off contact with Alibaba, which will lose a lot of revenue. ”
Of course, there are executives who believe that "...... In that case, are we threatened?"
This fact does exist.
In fact, Tengxun in the original time and space has some soft control, or influence, over the enterprises that input traffic.
If most of the users of an app are clicked into from WeChat, then this forms a dependency.
This question is more clearly thought about within WeChat,
Wen Xiaoguang has long said that the traffic of WeChat is opium, and those who don't eat it dream of eating it, and those who eat it are afraid of suddenly cutting it off.
There is no data agency to do statistics, but smart companies have begun to check themselves.
"This reminds us that we have to pay attention to what percentage of the traffic of its products is provided by WeChat. ”
Jack Ma didn't expect it.
However, Ali and Weituo actually have a relationship of mutual need, and if they are hastily disconnected, Weituo will lose a lot of revenue.
So although it is opium, it is safe to eat, and it is indeed delicious.
What he didn't expect was probably that as soon as Wen Xiaoguang got the B round of financing, he suddenly began to make layouts at both ends of cloud computing and payment.
This vision and the energy to prepare for the future are beyond every young person he knows.
So the honeymoon period is too short, at least shorter than planned.
As a business, the headache has been continuous, and I just took off the Yahoo cover, and now I seem to be wearing another one faintly.
......
Wen Xiaoguang, what kind of person is he?
Mr. Ma began to discuss this issue with some of the younger people around him.
"Last year, I actually wanted to buy WeChat, and I offered a very high price, but it was because he didn't want to sell it, so it ended hastily. Later, I watched the struggle between him and Tencent, and laid out the layout in Japan, thinking that he was going to be the head enterprise in the instant messaging software. But this year things have changed. ”
"Mr. Ma, what do you want me to answer?"
"I'll look at his behavior at the corporate level, and you can tell me what young people think of him. ”
"Young people...... I think most people will think that he is an entrepreneurial genius, very powerful, everyone looks up to him, but there are also people who think that premature success, very unstable, the bigger the company, the more unstable. ”
There is no basis for this. Zuckerberg is also young. ”
The person on the side responded: "It's not unfounded, some people think that today's headlines are a little helpless, they said before that they wouldn't imitate Tengxun, but now they still make news." ”
"No, that's not a matter of journalism or not. Wen Xiaoguang did the right thing, for the same dilemma, that is, how to monetize traffic, so today's headlines are a breakthrough of micro-extension, how can they rush to the doctor. ”
"Not only is it not, but his approach is quite flexible and methodical, and in Japan he is a complete imitation of Tenson. ”
Mr. Ma just felt that he seemed to have underestimated Wen Xiaoguang's ambitions.
Cloud computing and payment have to be tried, so his goal is actually to bring Weituo into a top Internet company.
Young people tend to make a fool of themselves when they succeed, and then mess around, and then lose their ground, but looking at Wen Xiaoguang's various strategies, they are indeed very sharp.
"I don't know if it's too well hidden, or if I feel wrong, I always feel that he is not a complete workaholic, he will enjoy life, the desire to control is not strong, and his ambition is not so exaggerated. But the company's strategy is very long-term, methodical, and ambitious, can it be said that he knows the future, and when he falls, the chess pieces are all in their own places?"
What you can't see clearly takes time to see clearly.
Maybe Ali can wait and see if Weituo can get out of a road different from Tengxun, if not, at least WeChat is still a high-quality asset.
As long as the management is not good, a few years later, he also thinks that there are still few people who have the strength to deal with Wen Xiaoguang except Ali.
So you need to maintain a good relationship.
......
......
Wen Xiaoguang also knew that there were some people who were just waiting for him to fail.
He snatched the most delicious and easiest fruit in the Internet field.
Inside the car, Dr. Tang was still waiting,
It wasn't intentional to make the family wait so long, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to tell her one thing, there are indeed people in this world who are very easy and rich after working three or four hours a day.
But he Wen Xiaoguang is not such a person, although he can too.
"Let's do this today, go back early and rest, autumn. ”
He didn't need someone to drive him back.
Song Yiqiu was originally very obedient, but he was a little hesitant tonight, "That woman ......"
"Let's go back, I have to go to work tomorrow." Wen Xiaoguang still hopes that his life will not be too complicated by women, he is not a saint, he just doesn't want to cause trouble.
Song Yiqiu and he have a lot of work cooperation, but they can't figure it out, what is the matter of going to work while falling in love, and they don't think they have much to do.
Even if he really had a physical need, he didn't have no other way.
~~
Tang Shujie couldn't hear anything in the car, but just watched his secretary leave, which made her more associated, this... It seems to be a very obvious arrangement......
"Is it over today?" she asked.
"Sort of, wait a minute. Wen Xiaoguang also knew, "I just took a look at the schedule, and the original plan was to let you wait less than half an hour, but it was an hour overtime." ”
He didn't know that Tang Shujie had been waiting downstairs in the company for more than two hours before meeting him.
"It's okay, I know you really have something to watch. ”
"Eat supper, please, and redeem my negligence. ”
Tang Shujie was sitting in the back, although he was indeed a little anxious when he waited, but when he heard this at this time, he didn't care much.
It's good if a man with a successful career is really busy with his career. After staying in society for a few years, she still has this level of understanding.
Wen Xiaoguang started the car, "What do you want to eat? Chinese food, French food, Japanese food, anything." ”
Dr. Tang is also a bit smart, she just knows how to answer with a simple reaction, "I don't know how to choose if you say too much, what do you want to eat?"
"Me?" Wen Xiaoguang didn't really care, "I'm kind of back to the original meaning, home cooking is my favorite." ”
Dr. Tang was overjoyed, "Then I can do it, the oil in the restaurants outside is not good, so you can also try my craft." ”
"You do?"
"I think you can trust me once. ”
He chose to refuse, "Of course I believe you. But it's not good to keep you busy today, or I'll invite you, if you really don't know what to choose, just listen to me and let me arrange it. ”
Wen Xiaoguang was actually embarrassed to say, 'The reason that the oil in the restaurant outside is not good' does not apply to him very well, is it the Shaxian snacks he eats.
But this kind of reminder is not of a good standard, but it is ugly.
The main reason is that he doesn't want to go to Tang Shujie's house tonight.
This euphemistic refusal made Tang Shujie look stunned, and a little surprise welled up in his heart, he was rejected.
"Dr. Tang. ”
"Huh?"
Wen Xiaoguang wanted to say one thing, but when he said it directly, he seemed a little stiff, so he changed his way.
"I still don't understand, why did you come downstairs to our company today?
Tang Shujie had a stiff mouth, "No, no, I'm really seeing a patient." ”
This man knowingly asked, how to pay it back.
Not only did he ask knowingly, but Wen Xiaoguang also chased after him to the end, "What about the patient? You call him and I will explain the reason for you, saying that he is coming to me." ”
"I don't need it......"
In fact, Wen Xiaoguang shook his head and chuckled, everything was self-explanatory.
She had to cover her face,
Ren Wen Xiaoguang smiled.
"You said you wanted to see me, just call me endlessly, wasting time doing this kind of encounter, don't you say it's a bit dirty?"
But what he really wanted to express was: don't go downstairs to the company to find me like this in the future.
However, this kind of girl will be quite psychologically sensitive when she comes into contact with him, and it will be very shocking if she is not careful.
"How can I have it...... the tone of denial is weak, "Let's drive, look ahead, don't look at me, the car has a green light." ”
"Remember, don't wait in the future, if you call me today, I tell you that I have to be busy until this time, you don't have to wait that long, right?"
Tang Shujie smiled and nodded, "Okay, I, I know." ”
She didn't dare to make this call, but now she has a lot more courage.
After saying this, they suddenly fell silent, not knowing what to say, so they went all the way to a relatively high-end restaurant.
"Mr. Wen, good evening. ”
The car doesn't have to be parked, and the people in the restaurant will help.
"Well, two people tonight, I'm driving, so I don't have to drink. ”
"Okay. Seeing another girl getting out of the car, they didn't dare to say more, but just put on a respectful smile, "Madam, good evening, please inside." ”
The dining room is glittering with gold, and the floor is bright enough to be used as a mirror.
"This place...... It's the first time I've been here. ”
"It's just eating, it's no different. I've asked people to come a few times, and I feel quieter, and I won't be photographed casually, and I can sit in it casually, and I've already paid for it, so it's okay. ”
Tang Shujie smiled hard, thinking in her heart that 'it won't be photographed casually', and she didn't know what it meant, "By the way, Mr. Li, how is it now?"
"What can I do? Wen Xiaoguang sighed, "His insomnia is caused by stress, and he may be able to sleep well if he is tired and paralyzed one day, but our pressure has always been, and it is getting bigger and bigger." ”
"How so...... Micro Tuo is now receiving all kinds of praise, and many people are optimistic about it. ”
"How do you feel?" asked, Wen Xiaoguang.
"I'm not in the tech industry, and it's a layman's nonsense to say that the situation is a layman's nonsense," she said. I look at people, and if I know you, I know that this business will not be bad. ”
"That's lifting. Wen Xiaoguang thought it was a compliment to himself.
"I didn't lift it, because I don't think you're indulging in pleasures, you're still very disciplined at work. Maybe that's the difference between the rich first generation and the second rich generation?"
"It's not a difference, it's a different situation. Although I am about the same age as those rich second generation, I don't have people behind me, they are crazy, because they cry and look for my father when they encounter something that can't be done, so who am I looking for? So, my sacrifice is a little more, you know, I don't have much free personal life. ”
In fact, Dr. Tang is smart, his eyes moved, and a special look flashed, "...... Are you trying to tell me that you have very little time?"
That's true, but he wants to put it another way.
Wen Xiaoguang waited until the waiter had finished everything and closed the door before he said: "We don't have much contact, so you have the impression that I am me in the media, and I can't say that there is little time, to be precise, I want to tell you that I am not perfect." ”
That's a bit more in-depth.
Tang Shujie had difficulty in taking care of her balance for a while.
Wen Xiaoguang didn't urge, "Let's eat, I've been waiting for so long, I must be hungry, the cheese here is good, you can taste it." ”
"Hmm...... Good. ”
In fact, the information he released was quite contradictory, at least Dr. Tang was a little confused, on the one hand, he said that he would call him in the future, and on the other hand, he said that he was very busy.
But these are all the messages that Wen Xiaoguang wants to convey, and they are all things in his plan, so he didn't go a second time, because there are some things to say in advance.
Bang, bang.
There was a knock on the door.
"Enter. ”
"Mr. Wen, excuse me. Our restaurant is in order to show ......"
"No, let's get out. Wen Xiaoguang directly interrupted the manager who came on purpose, "I ate very well, thank you." ”
Tang Shujie saw that he was turning people away, and his heart was also beating.
It's a bit different from the approachability he had shown before.
Wen Xiaoguang silently explained, "It's hard to say no to my personality, but in my status, if I don't say no all the time, I will be very tired." So not every side is very likable, at least not so much as my ex-girlfriend. ”
Even though he had already given the hint, Dr. Tang drank the water and still didn't want to ask.
Wen Xiaoguang smiled, then he said it himself.
"Aren't you curious, why did I fall out of love?"
Tang Shujie was a little unexpected, "Are you willing to tell me?"
"There's something you wouldn't want to, and you know that. ”
"This ...... How do I know? I can analyze people's minds, but I can't read minds. ”
When she came to look for her for the second time, Wen Xiaoguang would definitely tell her, so he didn't go directly to her house tonight.
"You really know, the reason is that I don't usually do very well in the face of temptation. ”
Tang Shujie, who lowered his head, moved his eyebrows, and the knife couldn't cut the beef, so he said that he was not perfect.
It sounds like nothing has been said, but who can say that they are particularly good in the face of temptation?
However, the art of language is that, in a particular context, words that seem to say nothing have actually conveyed the meaning accurately.
Unless the person receiving is stupid.
And Dr. Tang is not stupid.
"Steak is okay, right? Eat more, don't go hungry." After eating in a while, I'll send you home. ”
The girl forced a smile, "Well, that's bothering you." ”
