In the middle of this year, the Celestial Empire Internet was very lively, first Penguin and Korn Ferry Group launched various cooperation, then Google invested heavily in Potato, and then Meituan was about to go public in the United States.

In this context, the "2006 Celestial Dynasty Internet Conference" hosted by the Celestial Empire Internet Society was grandly opened at the Imperial Capital International Conference Center on September 21, 2006.

The theme of this year's conference is "Innovation: Opportunities Brought by the Internet". Innovation is the spirit of the Internet, the eternal theme of the Internet, and the most fundamental way to grasp opportunities and meet challenges.

In addition to the leaders of Meituan, who were busy with roadshows, the number of other companies to participate in the conference was about to reach 100.

Compared with the previous conferences, Jiang Hui felt that there were more dry goods this time.

When talking about several suggestions for the development of the Internet, the leader of the Ministry of Information said: Internet enterprises should actively expand the coverage of the Internet, especially the construction of network infrastructure in the central and western regions and rural areas, reduce the cost of access, popularize the knowledge of Internet applications, and make it affordable and good for the people.

The rapid growth of the Internet has become a bright spot in the information and communication industry of the Celestial Empire. By the end of June this year, the number of Internet users in the Celestial Empire had reached 145 million, including 87 million broadband users, 988,000 Internet sites, and 64 million computers connected to the Internet......

Representatives of operators also mentioned in the development: there is a lot of commercial hype about the issue of 3G and 4G. These contents are not all considered in the same way. As far as the Internet is concerned, if I want to say how many gigabytes I need first, what does the Internet want? What the Internet wants is ubiquitous, and we need to be able to access the Internet at any time and anywhere, just such a simple requirement. Therefore, for the Internet, we are concerned about broadband wireless access, which is a new market, and for users, the requirement is to be able to use today's fixed network access money, 100 yuan a month, broadband access everywhere you go......

Boss Du Niang Li personally took the stage to make a report: today I will discuss with you the next step in the development of the Internet. Many people here say that I have experienced and used the Internet, probably looking for information, e-mail, and advertising on the Internet, and it may be that there is nothing new to talk about on the Internet now. But if you look at technological innovation, there's actually a lot to be said.

First, how to look at innovation. This philosophy was a few years ago. Like search, the directory is also very small, and today's innovation can bring global information to Du Niang in a very easy way......

Tang Wenwen also took the stage to make a speech: The development of the Internet is actually really very important in three points. First, simplicity. Second, openness. Third, it is omnipresent. But what is really going on in doing this? It's technological innovation, everybody working together, and no one company can do it all. I'm glad to be here today to share with you this, and I hope you can work together and develop together......

……

At the closing ceremony, the leader's speech can be regarded as affirming the development of the Internet: from the overall situation of the industry, the development of the Internet in China is healthy, but we must also see that opportunities and challenges coexist, the rapid development of Internet technology and the emergence of service forms in an endless stream, providing a new platform and channel for the majority of netizens to exchange information, obtain knowledge and tap wealth, and also put forward higher requirements for network information security, industry self-discipline and network management.

We should also be aware of the existence of pornography, fraud, viruses, violence, and spam on the Internet, which are parasites that continue to erode the Internet organism, damage the reputation of the Internet, and affect the credibility of the Internet. It is gratifying to note that the majority of colleagues in the Internet industry have a deep and sober understanding of these issues......

Although Jiang Hui himself did not speak on stage, he was also interviewed by Chen Yanping of the Celestial Empire Youth Daily during the interview.

"Mr. Jiang, long time no see."

"Chen Meinu is full of red face, it seems that this is a good mix", Jiang Hui said with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang, just laugh at me. I remember the first time I visited you, in a rented house next to Imperial University of Technology, and after a few years, you were already at the helm of a giant family. In front of you, who dares to say that he is a good mix".

Speaking of which, Jiang Hui and Chen Yanping are really old acquaintances. The interview of the Celestial Dynasty Youth Daily can be said to have helped the intranet of the school during the start-up period. The grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring. Jiang Hui naturally will not forget the good of the Celestial Empire Youth Daily. Therefore, in recent years, if there is any news release or interview with Korn Ferry Group, it must be the first time to notify them, and it is another matter whether they come or not. So far, apart from Chen Yanping, few reporters have really had the opportunity to give Jiang Hui an exclusive interview.

"Haha~ It's just luck".

"In a few years, you can look back. You said this by yourself back then, but now you are talking to me about luck? Mr. Jiang, you are too disrespectful to girls", Chen Yanping pretended to be angry and said.

"In this way, after the interview is over, I will invite you to dinner."

"Hey, hey, then I'm going to be disrespectful. Okay, let's get down to business, then, may I ask Mr. Guo, how do you feel about participating in this conference?"

"I think this conference is very good, and I think the Celestial Empire should let people from all over the world come to the Internet, and become a conference for China to teach the Internet concept to the world."

"What do you think about the theme of the Internet this time is innovation?".

"Innovation is first of all the innovation of the operating model, such as Meituan and YY Live; secondly, technological innovation, many companies do not attach importance to technological innovation, thinking that everyone can use Internet technology, Sina and Sohu are using American technology, and you can make money by making money through SMS with a little modification, in fact, I don't think this is a long-term solution."

"I heard that Meituan and the school intranet are ready to go public?"

"I don't need to hear about it, it's really going to go public. Meituan will be officially listed on the NASDAQ in a few days, and the school intranet will also be listed within the year."

"There are more than 20 subsidiaries under the Korn Ferry Group, do other companies have plans to go public?".

"There must be, and we will continue to promote the listing of other subsidiaries."

"Do all subsidiaries have a plan to go public?".

"It depends."

"Some people say that you are taking out unimportant companies to go public first, what do you think?".

Although Jiang Hui did have this idea in his heart, how to think about it was one thing, and how to say it was another.

"There is no such thing, the intranet of the school is the first company I created, and now it is also listed."
