There is a story circulating on the Internet that William Renquist, the chief justice of the United States, has participated in a small circle of judges, lawyers, academics, businessmen and politicians for decades, rain or shine. In this game, there are specialized lawyers to conduct research and planning to ensure that every time they play cards, it does not constitute gambling. One of the lawyers was evicted for leaking information, and the game lasted for 33 years before being disbanded until Renqvist's death.

Are these people obsessed with gambling?

Of course not, they are obsessed with that little circle.

Why did Ma Xiaoyun not like to drink when he was young, and suddenly became obsessed with the national liquor Moutai, and served as the vice president of the National Liquor Moutai Culture Research Association......? Ahem, we're all speculation, don't talk about it deeply.

However, Ma Xiaoyun is a hardcore Jin Yong fan, which should be true.

In the early days of his business, he asked a reporter friend to visit Jin Yong and chatted for three hours, and was named "Ma Tianxing" by Jin Yong. Once went to Australia to talk about business, he heard that Jin Yong was in Melbourne, and immediately took a plane to meet, the two chatted from World War I and World War II to the Internet, and Jin Yong also carefully introduced to him the deployment and battle situation of Australian soldiers in World War II.

In the second year of the establishment of Taox.com, Jin Yong returned to the mainland for some reason, and Ma Xiaoyun immediately warmly invited him, and took eighteen Arhats to welcome the arrival of idols in the company. At that time, Jin Yong's inscription "Treasure cannot be found, faith cannot be abandoned", Ma Xiaoyun got it as if he had obtained a treasure, and directly took it as the core spirit of Taox.com's corporate culture - if it was just to mix in the circle, Ma Xiaoyun would definitely not be able to do this, and it would be impossible for any qualified entrepreneur to do so.

A circle is a circle, a company is a company!

can name Ali's toilets "Tingyuxuan", which shows the depth of poisoning of this big guy.

"I like the wind to be clear, I like Dugu Jiujian, I like to win without moves," Ma Xiaoyun has completely forgotten about business, and talks about martial arts culture, "Why do you like it? Because it reveals a philosophical question." Where people are strongest, they are often the weakest, and what everyone thinks is right is often wrong. The most dangerous places may hide the greatest opportunities. ”

Song Weiyang smiled: "This is a Taoist philosophy. "Tao Te Ching" has a cloud: the movement of the opposite Tao, the use of the weak Tao. Everything in the world is born from being, and some are born from nothing. ”

"I always have a few books in my bag, and other books are changed quickly, only the Tao Te Ching never changes, and I take it out and read a few sentences whenever I have time. Ma Xiaoyun smiled and opened his briefcase and took out a copy of the Tao Te Ching, whose cover was badly worn.

"Although the Tao Te Ching is wonderful, it requires too much understanding, in fact, I prefer to read "Mao Xuan". Song Weiyang said with a smile.

"Mao Xuan" is also a good thing," Ma Xiaoyun said casually flipping through the "Tao Te Ching", "but "Lao Tzu" can make people enlightened at any time, once they encounter trouble or are in a bad mood, as long as they open this book, they can find inspiration to solve the puzzle." A few sentences like what you just said completely reveal the laws of the universe and the functioning of society. Lao Tzu advocates 'guarding the weak', and I agree with it, as an entrepreneur, we should also 'guard the weak'. "Weak" represents vitality, represents new things, if an enterprise can maintain a "weak" state at any time, a country can maintain a "weak" state at any time, then it will always glow with endless vitality. ”

Song Weiyang nodded and said: "It can be understood that 'strong' is the aging of things after they grow, 'weak' is the state of things at the beginning of production, and 'keeping weak' is to constantly reform and innovate and maintain their own vitality." If you put these two sentences in the market, 'weak' is the blue ocean, and 'strong' is the red ocean. ”

"What blue sea and red sea?" Ma Xiaoyun had never heard of this word.

Song Weiyang didn't expect this to belong to the future vocabulary, and immediately explained: "The competition is fierce, and the market that survives through price reduction and promotion and the pursuit of cost efficiency is the red ocean, and the market that has no one to compete for, value innovation, and unlimited prospects is the blue ocean." The Red Sea is turbid, poor in nutrients, and has many monks and little meat, while the Blue Sea is wide, clear and nutritious, and full of vitality. ”

"This analogy is very interesting," Ma Xiaoyun suddenly pulled the topic back, "computers and Internet are the blue ocean, as long as you devote yourself to it now, the future will be infinitely broad." Our China Yellow Pages, the first commercial website in China, is a blue ocean for me and a blue ocean for our customers. Once Xifeng Company landed in the China Yellow Pages, it will definitely be able to leave a strong mark on the Chinese society with the development of Internet. ”

Song Weiyang laughed: "The Internet may be a blue ocean in the United States, but in China, it is still a vacuum at this stage. China doesn't even have a civilian network, and there is not even a single ordinary person who can access the Internet, which means that there is no oxygen and plankton in this deep sea, and it is impossible for big fish and small shrimp to survive. ”

"It's a vacuum now, and it's going to be a blue ocean soon," Ma Xiaoyun said vigorously, "The development of Internet is advancing rapidly, China has been connected to the international network last year, and there will definitely be a civilian network this year or next year." One step ahead now, ten steps ahead in the future, we can lead the development of China Interknight. Do you know Yinghaiwei in the capital?"

"You know, the information superhighway. Song Weiyang couldn't help laughing.

Yinghaiwei, later known as the "Whampoa Military Academy of China's Internet", this company has come out of many Internet bigwigs. At the same time, it is also known as the "martyr of China's Internet", and its status in China's Internet history is equivalent to that of the 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang.

In three months, Yinghaiwei will erect a billboard at the south gate of Zhongguancun with the following words: How far are Chinese from the information superhighway - 1,500 meters to the north.

At that time, the expressway in Beijing had just opened, not to mention foreign drivers, and even many local drivers could not find the entrance to the expressway, so this billboard was used as a road sign by the confused drivers. Zhongguancun is jammed with traffic almost every day, and it is all fooled by billboards, and the uncles of the traffic patrol police who are so angry that they come to guide them are full of evil spirits.

Of course, Ma Xiaoyun didn't know about the billboard, and he asked, "Why is Boss Song laughing? Do you think Yinghaiwei can't be bigger?"

"No, you continue. Song Weiyang couldn't help but laugh.

"I think Insea Well will definitely be bigger," Ma Xiaoyun said in a very excited tone, "I have already learned that Inn High Way is seeking to cooperate with the post and telecommunications department to set up a civilian Internet network in China." Their financing is very smooth, at least three or five months, at most a year and a half, and China's civilian network will be set up. Although our China Yellow Pages can only be realized abroad now, as long as InfoHighway's plan is successful, China Yellow Pages can also be seen in China. We will definitely succeed in their information superhighway plan, which is supported and recognized by the government......"

Ma Xiaoyun began to talk about the prospects of the Internet in China, and it was a lot of money, and it was more in line with the facts.

Yinghaiwei's plan is indeed smooth, and in less than a year, it has raised 80 million yuan just by relying on the concept of information superhighway. Moreover, it has also received government support, with the help of the post and telecommunications department, to build China's first civil Internet network, and future generations of children who can access the Internet should be grateful to Inseaway.

However, half a step ahead is a pioneer, and one step ahead becomes a martyr.

It's cool......

Ma Xiaoyun was still explaining the prospect of the Internet over and over again, and Song Weiyang was a little impatient when he heard it, and interrupted with a smile: "I agree to do the Yellow Pages." ”

"Really?" Ma Xiaoyun said happily, "That's great, I believe this is a great cooperation, and Xifeng will be remembered in the history of China Internet." We ......"

Seeing that this was another sign of a tirade, Song Weiyang hurriedly said, "Where is Boss Ma going to find customers next?"

"Go to the capital!" Ma Xiaoyun said.

"Then I wish you success," Song Weiyang raised his glass, "Drink!"

"Borrow Boss Song's auspicious words!" Ma Xiaoyun drank it all.

Ma Xiaoyun did want to go to the capital, and went straight to the government department, but he couldn't see the person in charge at all.

Historically, he met a friend who was a reporter at the "Beijing Youth Daily" through a friend, and wanted to ask the "Beijing Youth Daily" to publish an advertorial for publicity. As a result, "Beiqing Daily" did not agree to cooperate, and finally walked into the editor-in-chief office of "China Trade News" under the recommendation of the driver's friend. In the end, he took the advertorial issued by the "Ministry of Trade of China", and it happened that Yinghaiwei received government support again, and the concept of the Internet was hyped up, and Ma Xiaoyun slowly opened up the way for the government.

"My business card. Song Weiyang sent out his third business card after coming to Shenghai, and the first two were sent to the senior of Shenghai's propaganda department and the American sociologist Lin Nan.

"Okay, I'm in touch with you. Ma Xiaoyun happily put away his business card, and his own business card was given when they met.

For Ma Xiaoyun, not only did he know the boss of Xifeng and make him happy to do business, but Song Weiyang was also very appetizing to him, and he was quite happy to chat.

Waiting for Ma Xiaoyun to leave, Lin Zhuoyun asked, "Do you really believe what he said?"

"I believe half of it," Song Weiyang said with a smile, "This 20,000 yuan for the company's yellow pages must have been lost." ”

"Then you pay back the money?" Lin Zhuoyun said.

"Because it's interesting. Song Weiyang said.

Lin Zhuoyun pursed her lips and did not speak again.
