On this day, Fengxing's heavyweight online game product "Fantasy Journey to the West" was officially opened for public beta.

On the morning of the same day, Lin Feng took a car to the Beijing International Conference Center in Beichen, North Fourth Ring Road, to participate in the second China Internet Conference.

At the general meeting of the Internet Society of China held the afternoon before, Lin Feng was elected as a director of the association, and Fengxing Company also became a group member of the Internet Society. This marks that Lin Feng and his popular company have officially entered the rivers and lakes of China's Internet industry.

The specifications of the conference can be seen from the opening ceremony and plenary session on the first day of the Internet Conference.

Wang Xudong, Minister of Information Industry and Industry of the People's Republic of China, delivered an opening speech and read out a congratulatory letter from Vice Premier Huang Ju.

The Minister of Science and Technology, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Information Industry, and the Vice Mayor of Beijing delivered speeches successively, and Hu Qiheng, Chairman of the Internet Society of China, made a report on the development of the Internet industry.

The following day, all relevant ministries and commissions and the competent departments of the Internet industry explained the state's support and policies for the Internet industry, as well as the development of network and information infrastructure from many aspects, from the high-tech department of the National Development and Reform Commission, the State Informatization Office, to the Telecommunications Administration of the Ministry of Information Industry, experts and scholars...... He gave speeches on telecommunication facilities, broadband, and next-generation Internet technologies.

To be honest, for Lin Feng, who had been immersed in the Internet industry for many years in his previous life, many of their predictions at this time were still limited by the times, but it was these measures that built the cornerstone of China's Internet industry step by step.

During the tea break in the middle and the "Dawn of the Internet" welcome dinner in the evening, Lin Feng also communicated with the leading experts of these competent departments and exchanged business cards. It's also a preliminary familiarity.

Don't underestimate such a small friendship and impression, it is likely that at some point in the future, the acquaintance and exchange at this time can bring unexpected support.

However, when Lin Feng was a little disappointed, at this time in China, the Internet industry was represented by Sina, Sohu and other portals, Sina Wang Yan, Sohu Zhang Chaoyang, including Baidu Li Robin, Jinshan Lei Jun all attended, but he was most looking forward to seeing Brother Xiao Ma and Ali's Ma Boss, and even Ding Sanshi did not attend the meeting, or because the conference was held in the capital, and they were far away?

At this time, Lin Feng was also well-known in the industry, I love music occupied the first place in online music, and the game "Audition" was also well received, but as a rising star, it seems that it has not really attracted attention in the industry.

This is the best, Lin Feng thought to himself.

You should learn from Brother Ma and Boss Ma, and at this time develop in a low-key manner and accumulate steadily.

At the dinner, Lin Feng was arranged to sit with Rebus from Jinshan.

Although the two met for the first time, they have known each other for a long time.

Especially Lin Feng is more familiar with Rebus, after all, in his previous life, Rebus was known as the "last big man" in the Internet rivers and lakes, and his millet and "Lei Jun system" are also a big force in the rivers and lakes.

Rebus started to provoke the conversation: "Mr. Lin, I have heard of you for a long time, and I have never seen it." Originally, I thought that I could meet at the regular meeting of the Beijing Youth Federation next week, but I didn't expect that we would meet ...... first today. ”

He has a mild attitude and Mandarin with an Edi accent, Lin Feng has heard him speak many times in his previous life.

Lin Feng admires Rebus, a person known as the "Internet model worker", who has worked diligently for more than ten years, which is extremely rare. He is also a "living fossil" industry veteran who became famous early, with a high reputation in the circle and good popularity.

Raised a glass and smiled: "Mr. Lei, I should apologize to you for speaking of which, in order to develop the game business, I invited several generals from Xishanju to Fengxing Company, and I have been looking for an opportunity to apologize in person, I salute you." ”

Rebus was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lin Feng to be so straightforward, shook his head and smiled: "Originally, it was really a bit of a teacher to ask for guilt...... , but Mr. Lin is so happy, then let's meet and smile! ”

In the Internet rivers and lakes, it is also important to pay attention to the righteous and unjust.

For Lin Feng, Rebus is a force that does not pose much of a threat and can be befriended.

Kingsoft's core competitiveness is the software field such as drug tyrant, word tyrant, WPS, etc., and the competitor is the "red-clothed leader" Zhou Hongyi in the field of security software.

And Rebus's attention at this time is still on the excellent network.

This B2C website co-invested by Lenovo and Kingsoft, with Rebus as the founder, is in a period of rapid development at the moment, and as Rebus's first attempt to start a business in the Internet field, he has invested a lot of effort.

Lin Feng also chatted with him casually about e-commerce, and reminded him to pay attention to Ali's Taobao "kindly", but Rebus didn't care, thinking that C2C and B2C are different models.

Lin Feng also knows that Excellence will be acquired by Amazon next year due to financial pressure, but if it can add some blockage to Ali and hinder the pace of its development, why not?

At the moment, I pulled Rebus to talk a few more words.

"Mr. Lei, I know that Excellence is developing very well now, but I am a little worried about B2C in China, whether it is inventory, warehouse, assembly line, logistics, distribution, database, information system...... It is necessary to invest a lot of money offline, and the faster and larger the scale, the demand for funds will also increase dramatically...... This is a money-burning industry, and it is estimated that it is difficult to maintain the ...... for a long time by relying on the investment of Lenovo and Kingsoft alone. ”

Lin Feng's words went to Rebus's heart, and with the development of Excellence.com, he gradually felt the financial pressure and offline shortcomings.

looked at Lin Feng in surprise: "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to also have research on the e-commerce industry?" Indeed, what you said is very right, it is too difficult to engage in B2C in China......." Rebus shook his head, and began to think in his heart, how to find a way to make the major shareholder Lenovo invest more money, but Yang Yuanqing told him clearly early in the morning that Lenovo would not continue to increase investment.

Looking for VC financing? equity will be diluted, although Rebus is the founder, he didn't take much equity ...... in Excellence.com.

Lin Feng looked at Rebus and fell into deep thought, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Lei, have you ever thought about turning to C2C? C2C is relatively not so large capital investment, at least the cost of inventory and warehouse is saved, the operating cost is reduced, and the transaction volume is increased. I don't know if you have noticed the newly established Taobao network of Alibaba in Hangzhou?"

Rebus was a little disdainful: "That kind of website is a mixed bag, and it can't provide users with high-quality products." ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Mr. Lei, I have a different view on this, at this stage, the C2C model is the most in line with China's national conditions, only need to provide a trading platform, operation and capital investment is small, but as long as a credit system is added on this platform, you can screen high-quality merchants." AND I DARE TO CONCLUDE THAT TAOBAO WILL DEFINITELY BEAT EBAY, WHICH WAS JUST ACQUIRED BY EBAY, TO BECOME THE LEADING PLATFORM FOR C2C E-COMMERCE IN THE FUTURE, AFTER ALL, EBAY IS AN INTERNATIONAL E-COMMERCE GIANT, AND LARGE COMPANIES HAVE A SLOW RESPONSE SPEED AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND CHINA'S NATIONAL CONDITIONS, WHILE TAOBAO IS DIFFERENT. And I believe that if Taobao really wants to become stronger and bigger in the field of e-commerce, it will enter the B2C field sooner or later in the future. ”

Rebus thought for a moment and said: "You are right in one sentence, domestic companies understand the Chinese market better. ”

He is also a person with a firm mind, and he is also an old liner, so naturally he will not be fooled by Lin Feng, the rising generation of the hairy boy, in a few words, and raised his glass with a smile: "Mr. Lin, he is really young and promising, and he has a unique vision, come, I will toast you." ”

Lin Feng didn't care, anyway, he just said a few words casually, in case Rebus suddenly figured it out one day, it would be good to add some blockage to Ali.

smiled and raised a glass at the moment, diverting the topic.

Rebus was quite interested in the popular "Fantasy Journey to the West", which started the public beta, and asked with a smile: "I heard that your company's dream studio is the team of NetEase Dahua 1 before? I guess your "Fantasy Journey to the West" is listed, Ding Sanshi must be very angry and wants to trouble you!"

He has a good relationship with Ding Sanshi, and he has a good impression of Lin Feng at the moment, so he has a bit of a joke between the two.

Lin Feng looked at him with a smile, thinking that when Zhao Qing mutinied and went to NetEase next year, there would be a very unpleasant quarrel between you and Ding Sanshi, let alone the second one.

nodded and smiled: "Yes, I have a good relationship with Brother Ding, and I explained it by phone before, I thought he could participate in this meeting, and I was going to talk to him again in person." ”

Rebus shook his head with a smile: "You are not good at this, Ding Sanshi and I have been dug by you." ”

Lin Feng smiled bitterly and raised his glass: "Mr. Lei, I have already apologized, okay...... , you know, at the beginning, our company was poor and white, and if you want to make games, you can only find people everywhere, and there is no way. ”

This is true, in the Internet circle, job-hopping and poaching are also common.

If it weren't for the particularly bad nature, the bosses would have laughed it off when they met and talked.

At this dinner, Lin Feng had a very happy conversation with Rebus.

For Lin Feng, the real stage is the online game sub-forum on the second day.
