Chapter 213: The Summit

Feng Jianxiong endured Zhou Hongyi's bombardment on the table, and endured it for half a month without making a sound.

Ma Teng and Boss Li also more or less connived at or acquiesced in their subordinates, and carried out various fancy counterattacks against Feng Jianxiong's "indiscriminate map cannon" and criticism of the "free economy".

From Feng Jianxiong's blog to his personal space at Station N, it has become a trash can for catharsis. All of a sudden, those who watched the excitement were not afraid of big things, and they picked up firewood to add fuel to the fire and fell into the well.

It's a beautiful scenery of online violence in full swing.

And Feng Jianxiong did not use any of his own media resources to fight back immediately. Although he has tens of millions of followers on Weibo, and twice the number of users on Weibo's N station, he can just endure it calmly.

After more than half a month of hiding, in early August, the public finally got the news that he was going to appear to attend a major social event.

It turned out that he was invited by the latest Internet industry summit and "West Lake Sword" to give a speech at the summit and answer questions from reporters in private.

According to Feng Jianxiong's original intention, of course he wanted to go to the "Wuzhen World Internet Conference", how high is that thing?

It's a pity that it's only 2010 now, and the first "World Internet Conference" in Wuzhen will not be held until 2014, so I can only be wronged.

Hearing the news that he was going to attend, the sunspots on the Internet suddenly exploded, and they began to spread the rumors of Feng Jianxiong's cowardice.

"I said, it turned out that I didn't dare to show up in the away game! 'West Lake on the Sword' is the host of Ahri Babama. Hehe, the current bigwigs from all walks of life, from Du Niang to Tengyun to 361, which one does not engage in free economy? I think Feng Jianxiong has offended the abbot and does not dare to go out! He only dares to hide in Ma Feng, who sells goods, and ask for shelter!"

As we all know, Ahri Baba is an e-commerce company, and Ahri in 2010 has not yet expanded significantly, and the industries of entertainment, news and information, and software application distribution basically have nothing to do with it (even UC Browser has not been acquired by Ahri).

Therefore, Ahri is still relatively clean on the issue of "the evil of the free economy". Although it also has various problems and social criticism, they are all focused on "poor control of counterfeit goods". (Later, UC was acquired, and Ahri's reputation on the issue of "free economy" slowly became stinky)

In such an environment, Feng Jianxiong has been avoiding and not responding to Zhou Hongyi's fire, waiting for Ma Feng's home field to speak out, and netizens' misunderstanding of him is inevitable.

Although in fact, Feng Jianxiong didn't care about these at all.

He just needs a formal industry summit to speak out solemnly. It doesn't really matter what the forum is.

It's just the most recent time, which happened to be held by Ma Feng, and it was at Feng Jianxiong's home stadium, so by the way.

In good conscience, with Feng Jianxiong's current status, he is also fully qualified to participate in some Internet industry summits - N stands in his hands, he is the number one major shareholder of the third largest network video provider in China, why can't he come?

As for the "Tianyin Mutual Entertainment", which has earned him a net profit of more than one billion yuan, if it weren't for the fact that the money style of the web game is too lo and the hatred value is also high, he doesn't want to publicize it in a high-profile manner. Otherwise, Feng Jianxiong's ability to attract money in the Internet industry can definitely be ranked in the top 20 in the industry.

(The bigwigs are currently laying out, and the net profit is not high.) Many Internet companies have not made money for many years. For example, Zhou Hongyi's 361 is now in a huge loss. As for Liu in Goudong, it is estimated that he will lose forever (under GAAP rules), and Liu's status in the rivers and lakes in 2010 is not as good as Feng Jianxiong. He is still at the stage of fierce battle with Dangdang.com Li Yuqing, and he is not even qualified to say the sentence "It must be Ma Feng who is in the shadows of me". οΌ‰

Malicious speculation, questioning, one after another.

Of course, there are many people who speak for Feng Jianxiong and support him. After all, his previous more than 20 million fans were all real true love fans (there are also zombie fans)

Therefore, counter-remarks such as "Why can't Brother Xiong go to West Lake to discuss swords? People are really good at fighting! The identity of a big guy at Station N, I don't know where he is higher than you trolls" and other counter-remarks can also be seen everywhere in the Weibo comment area.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Feng Jianxiong ushered in the day of the summit.

……

The summit was held in a high-end international hotel in Binjiang New Town. A full 50-storey hotel is large enough to accommodate attendees from all over the country.

On Jiangnan Avenue, which is usually a ghost town, there is an endless stream of luxury cars, and various media have also gone into battle.

"It's Ma Feng coming!"

Since half past seven in the morning, the reporters have been squatting. With an exclamation from the crowd, hundreds of reporters rushed to the middle, stretching their long guns and short cannons over the shoulders and armpits of the security guards who maintained order, and the noisy questions came and went, making it impossible for people to hear or answer any questions at all.

But the reporters refused to give up, just wanted to shoot the whole video, or record the questions raised by others and Ma Feng's self-talk.

It was noisy for four or five minutes before the crowd fell silent.

However, it was only quiet for more than ten minutes. And it's not that kind of complete silence, but there are always small movements that are aware of Suosuo - once a small coffee enters the venue, there will also be reporters who have nothing to gain because they are unwilling, and they will interview a few words in the past, but the momentum is not as grand as when the big guy comes.

In fact, those little coffees are much more easy-going and speak well. They are eager to pay for it themselves.

Every ten minutes, Boss Li, Brother Xiaoma, Zhou Hongyi, Lei Jun...... As soon as the big guy of such a paragraph appears, he can replicate the noise when Ma Feng entered the market just now. The excitement of the crowd invisibly evaluates everyone's status.

Seeing that an hour had passed, and there were still more than 20 minutes before the start of the summit, the reporters gradually became a little impatient, packed up their things and prepared to close the stalls, move to the main venue and re-open the stalls.

In the main venue, each media has its own arranged seats, so it is not like in the hall where you need to grab a seat, and the competition is not fierce.

While some reporters were packing up their things, there was another commotion at the entrance of the hall.

"It's Feng Jianxiong! Go and slap him! Ask him how he feels about coming today!"

With a bang, most of the more sensitive reporters rushed back.

There was a handful of newcomers, sluggish, and packing things up, feeling a little confused.

"Who?

"I didn't hear it clearly! But looking at the momentum, it's a little lower than Li Erma. It seems that he is not on par with Zhou Hongyi and Lei Jun!"

"It turned out to be Feng Jianxiong!"

But anyway, in just a few seconds, those budding reporters clearly understood the market: Feng Jianxiong is at least the top five Internet bigwigs in China in terms of interview value!

No matter how big his business is, his social topic value is so high!

Feng Jianxiong himself, of course, is not surprised by this conclusion.

was stretched out in front of him by countless people, and he didn't care at all, still with that amiable expression.

He slowly walked through the corridor between the security guards, waved his hand lightly, and silently recited in his heart, "Hello comrades, comrades have worked hard." ”

At the same time, he did not forget to occasionally glance back gracefully to make sure that there were no other guests behind him.

In this way, he can take a minute or two to pick a friend who is a journalist and answer a question kindly.

While he was thinking about it there, Feng Jianxiong suddenly found an old acquaintance in front of him.

It turned out to be CCTV's female reporter Quan Jifang.

As a CCTV reporter, Quan Jifang is still a little privileged in today's venue.

Together with reporters from two other leading Hong Kong media, she can stand inside a wall surrounded by security guards and directly stop guests to ask individual questions.

Those peers who are surrounded by the human wall, even if they are unwilling, can only hold back.

Of course, Quan Jifang saw Feng Jianxiong earlier. When Feng Jianxiong's eyes made contact with her, she immediately mustered up the courage to meet her and stretched out the microphone as well.

Reporters from the other two Hong Kong media outlets stretched out the microphone almost simultaneously and gestured to ask questions.

But Feng Jianxiong nodded and gestured to Quan Yifang to ask, and the other two girls could only press it.

"Mr. Feng, can you find out what your speech at the summit today will be?" asked Kwon excitedly.

Although she has interviewed Feng Jianxiong several times, even the last time before, Feng Jianxiong's status in the rivers and lakes is far from being as high as it is now.

It's really a terrifying existence that soars every time we reunite.

It is inevitable to make women excited.

"There's no need to rush this, I'll know when it's my turn. Ask something else. Feng Jianxiongyun declined lightly.

He also knew that Quan Jifang didn't mean to ask these questions. It's just that the question she really wants to ask is a bit rude, so she will politely use the clichΓ© first.

Quan Jifang also understood, and hurriedly changed his words: "Then let me ask the individual: What do you think about the controversy caused by your criticism of the 'current situation of the free Internet economy in China' that you published on your blog some time ago? Why don't you respond? What have you been busy with lately?"

After listening to Quan Jifang's three questions, the female reporter of the Hong Kong media also stopped a little and quietly turned on the recorder.

Because what Quan Jifang wanted to ask was basically the same as what they originally wanted to ask. Then they just record it.

Feng Jianxiong scratched the hair on his forehead and replied calmly: "What have I been doing lately? However, since I'm a public figure, I'll tell you generously - recently, I've been helping a close friend with some lawsuits, so I don't have much time.

As for my opinion on the criticism of my previous remarks, I would like to say that most of those criticisms were piecemeal and unnutritious emotional catharsis. I don't respond right away because I don't think it's useful to say more without evidence.

Now that I have sufficient evidence, I am ready for an in-depth and valuable discussion. All colleagues are welcome to share their views with me. ”

"Can you be specific?" asked Kwon asked eagerly.

Feng Jianxiong shrugged, didn't look behind him, just held his four fingers and pointed in that direction with his thumb.

He could hear the crackling of hurried footsteps behind him.

"Miss reporter, you see, time is in a hurry, let's not delay others in the corridor. For specific questions, you can sit down and talk about it after the opening ceremony for a while. Feng Jianxiong casually said a word.

Quan Qifang comprehended, and hurriedly said: "Then wait for you, I will apply for a small conference hall." If there is anything that is not suitable for the conference speech, you are welcome to share it with the media. ”

……

At the opening ceremony in the morning, there was no opportunity for Feng Jianxiong to speak.

After all, in addition to industry bigwigs, this kind of meeting must also include relevant academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, vice chairmen of good and evil in this province, a director of the Cyberspace Administration of the People's Republic of China, and some important members of the Cyber Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security...... Something like that.

So, except for one or two industry bigwigs from the host country on the first morning, the rest of the speaking opportunities were for these officials.

Feng's appearance, which was supposed to be scheduled until tomorrow afternoon, has a 15-minute opportunity to talk about his views on the streaming industry. As for those discordant words, they must not be said during the speech in the main venue.

The atmosphere in the venue is not warm.

All journalists know that this kind of reporting is only a political task, but netizens are unlikely to read it.

The people who watched the excitement came to see what Li Erma said, not to see the officials.

In the Q&A session, several media outlets that are tired of doing things were named, such as the South China Morning Post of Hong Kong media.

In fact, the domestic media didn't bother to ask.

The meeting was held until 12 o'clock, which was a happy luncheon, which showed that the content of the morning was still relatively sufficient.

The luncheon of this kind of conference is relatively simple, most people are buffet-style, and the dishes are not bad.

Only dinners, because there is plenty of time, will be held in a grand ceremony – but not for the media, but for industry attendees.

Journalists on errands would have a full meal in the cafeteria, grab a cup of coffee, and then sit for two hours, while leaning back on a chair and falling asleep. (The reporter does not provide hotel accommodation)

Bigwigs from all walks of life, if you have a speech in the afternoon, go back to your room to take a nap and adjust your state.

As for those who don't speak, you can walk around casually with a wine glass, make friends, and learn a little about industry trends.

When the reporters were eating fish steaks and sashimi with grace and ease, a piece of news quickly spread among the crowd:

"I heard that CCTV's reporter team applied for a small conference room for Feng Jianxiong alone, and I heard him say some private topics that he is not going to talk about in the main venue! There are only 50 seats in total, go and grab it!"

"What?"

"I didn't expect to have hot dry goods so soon!"

A group of people didn't care about finishing their meals, so they immediately asked for directions and swarmed away.

The small conference room, which had only 50 seats, quickly packed into nearly 200 people. The remaining 100 or so can only stand, there is no place to set up a camera, and most people can only shoot with portable SLRs.

"Mr. Feng, can you talk about the case you mentioned in the morning about 'some strange monetization channels about the free Internet model'? Quan Jifang sat opposite Feng Jianxiong, stretched out the microphone and asked with a smile.

"Thank you for your support, then I will take advantage of the lunch break to say a few words, I hope you don't delay your rest. Feng Jianxiong nodded modestly to everyone.

"Let's start with this case - recently a friend of mine fought a cyber defamation lawsuit, successfully won the case, and the execution went smoothly, and the perpetrator has been compensated for the moral/reputational damage, and publicly apologized online.

This case really made me think more deeply about the underlying logic of the free economy. The name of the case is 'China Women's Rights QQ Group Chief v. XXX Reputation Infringement Case'. ”
