In his previous life, as the vice president of a small company, Lao Zhao occasionally thought about a question: how can an enterprise survive for a long time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The conclusion is that it is necessary to conform to the market trend and meet the needs of the people.

For example, at the gas station, as long as gasoline is still a necessity, the company can always survive.

But the problem is that no one dares to say that they can accurately grasp the future market 100% and predict the future consumption demand of human beings. Microsoft was overtaken by Apple, and before the crossing, Apple also began to decline.

No matter how capable a genius is, there is no guarantee that every decision he makes is correct. One wrong decision can ruin the good fortune brought about by the previous 99 correct decisions.

It is unreliable to put all the treasures on one person, even yourself.

Every time he thinks of this, Lao Zhao no longer thinks about it, anyway, the company is not his own, and there is no point in thinking too much.

But after crossing through this life, Zhao Zejun had to think deeply about this issue.

With 14 years of foresight, you can be sure that you will be able to grasp the future market in the next 14 years.

And what about 14 years later?

Or, in those 14 years, is it enough to have a prophet?

Zhao Zejun thinks it's not enough, you know that the stock market will rise tomorrow, but do you know exactly which one it will rise to, and how much it will rise?

Not necessarily.

Therefore, Zhao Zejun chose to put his eggs in several baskets to ensure that the company can make profits in multiple industries, and it will not bring disaster because of a single mistake.

The reason why I think of this question again today is because I am about to participate in this year's West Lake Sword Debate.

Not far away, you can already see the sparkling West Lake, and the flags of Alibaba Group are planted on both sides of the road.

A huge dragon boat parked on the shore of the West Lake.

This year's West Lake Sword Discussion opened on this dragon boat.

The people who are qualified to go on this dragon boat will have the ability to call for wind and rain on the mainland Internet in the next ten years, and their enterprises may not be prosperous forever, but facts have proved that for a long time, they have maintained prosperity and growth, some faster, some slower.

Among them, there are some companies where Zhao Zejun has long decided to 'put eggs', and among these companies, Baidu and Tencent have now completed the 'egg-putting' plan.

Now, only the last one remains.

Lao Zhao has to put a weighty egg in Alibaba's basket anyway.

With this egg, there are no worries. Enter, you can move forward, retreat, you can make a comeback.

The huge dragon boat dragon head faces the West Lake, and at the boarding gate of the dragon's tail, Zhao Zejun finally saw the richest man on the mainland Internet ten years later.

Everyone who can create a legendary story can write a book about their experience, a book that is not weaker than the legendary experience of the traverser.

"Mr. Zhao, welcome! Please inside!" Ma Yun stood in front of Zhao Zejun, like a child who had not grown up, but in terms of momentum, he did not fall at all, faintly surpassing.

"Hello Mr. Ma!"

After a few pleasantries, I entered the cabin, and in the open cabin on all sides on the second floor, there were already a few people around the long table.

There are not many people, including Zhao Zejun, there are only 7.

"Mr. Zhao, you are a busy man. ”

The one who spoke was an old acquaintance, Baidu's Mr. Li, and Tencent's Little Brother Ma sat side by side.

Although Zhao Zejun could basically recognize the people present, as the host, Ma Yun still made an introduction.

A smiling young man wearing a very casual denim suit, a pair of sneakers, but no socks, the chief architect of NetEase, and the head of the actual sense, Ding Lei;

Zhang Chaoyang, who has a lean face, wears a cultural shirt printed with the Sohu logo everywhere he goes, and does not forget to promote his company;

But there is a man with a national face, a friendly smile, and a suit.

Only this one, Zhao Zejun really has no impression.

"Mr. Zhao, come on, let's sit together!" The man with a national character face got up and took the initiative to invite Zhao Zejun.

Whether it is Ma Yun's introduction or the use of the elimination method to judge from the invitation letter, the identity of this person is already about to be revealed: Sina's CEO who only took office this year, Cao Guowei.

Sina's top management changes are too frequent, and there is no familiar face that can represent Sina.

Unlike companies like Alibaba and Tencent, when it comes to enterprises, the first thing that comes to mind is the faces of Ma Yun and Xiao Ma Ge, which have become the signboard of the company.

Compared with the previous few sword discussions, this time there are fewer participants, the scale is very small, but the gold content is very high, Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, Zelianke, Sina, Sohu, NetEase, the three major portals, the future of the three giants, plus a Zelianke that was born out of nowhere.

Zhao Zejun admired Ma Yun's vision very much, and the invitees of this session of this discussion sword almost included all the real giants of the mainland Internet in the later generations.

If he were to be chosen by the traverser, he would only be able to elect these seven people at the moment. As for Jingdong, Xiaomi, etc., in the eyes of these seven people, they are all 'next generation', and they can only be regarded as the second echelon in the future, and they have not yet emerged too much at this time.

Ma Yun waved his hand outside, and the huge dragon boat slowly drove off the shore.

The dragon boat meeting is a meeting and a meeting to catch the wind, and Alibaba, as the landlord, will wash the dust for the CEOs who come to the meeting.

"Mr. Ma, what is there to entertain us this time?" Ding Lei knocked on the table.

Zhang Chaoyang looked around and said with a smile: "I'll say okay first, don't eat duck eggs, don't eat hot pot in Hangzhou." ”

Ma Yun laughed, pointed at Zhao Zejun and said: "This person is present, who dares to go to the hot pot? As soon as his blog China reported that my ship was parked on the shore, someone from the Health Bureau should come up to check." ”

"It's none of my business. Zhao Zejun waved his hand, "The blog is open, there is everything, and it is not clear whether it is true or false." ”

Speaking of Sina Cao Guowei beside him, he said: "Mr. Cao understands. ”

"You must know better than me!" Cao Guowei deliberately said seriously: "I have to learn from you about blogging." ”

Since its birth, Sina Blog has been pressed and beaten by Zelianke Blog China and has never raised its head. However, for Sina, blogging is only part of the business, and it is not even the core business at present, and there is no need to be tense between Cao Guowei and Zhao Zejun.

"You two don't have to be modest, when it comes to eating, it still depends on Mr. Ma's arrangement. Baidu Mr. Li said: "Mr. Ma, don't sell it, take out something good." ”

"In the golden autumn of October, boating on the lake, of course, you have to eat according to the occasion. ”

The dragon boat is on the second floor, and everyone here is on the upper floor, and Ma Yun shouted downstairs to serve the food.

After a while, the hostesses in cheongsams worked in pairs and carried several huge plates upstairs.

There are 60 huge lake crabs, each of which is golden and almost the same size, and is full of long tables, accompanied by cold seasoning onions, ginger and garlic juice, and a number of side dishes.

Boss Ma invited everyone to eat crabs today.

The origin of these crabs is interesting: they were all bought from Taobao.

Taobao has expanded its business to agricultural and sideline products this year, and cooperates with farmers and farmers around the world, so that in the future, on Taobao, you can not only buy hairy crabs, grain, rice, vegetables and fruits, chickens, ducks, fish, poultry eggs and other agricultural and sideline products, everything.

This meal is also a publicity for the development of Taobao.

Sohu is a web portal, Zhang Chaoyang has a very accurate grasp of hot news, saying: "Food safety issues have been boiling for a whole year, I estimate that this time is not a gust of wind, for a long time in the future, food safety is a big problem that affects people's hearts, Taobao does online food sales, the key is still in the quality." ”

"I would also like to thank Blog China for this. Ma Yun broke open a hairy crab, which was full of yellow and clear crab roe, got up and handed it to Zhao Zejun, "They exposed the physical restaurant and gave me a wake-up call." In the agricultural and sideline products project team established by Taobao, we cooperate with the quality inspection unit to conduct random inspections on merchants from time to time, and close the store for rectification once it is found that it is unqualified. ”

"Mr. Ma, you don't want to buy him with a few crabs. Baidu Mr. Li tapped the crab in front of Zhao Zejun with chopsticks, and said half-jokingly: "If there is a problem with your Taobao, the blog China will still be exposed." ”

After a burst of laughter, Zhao Zejun waved his hand: "I have a short mouth and a short hand, but I don't dare to expose it indiscriminately." ”

Ding Lei said leisurely: "I want to buy a piece of land by myself, grow vegetables and raise pigs, and in the future, all the raw materials of our company's food will be eaten from my own farm, which is pure natural and non-toxic." ”

If memory serves, this man later set up a modern pig farm next to the West Lake. There is a very famous Internet conference, the main dish is the Ding family's piglets, after publicity, Ding Lei's pigs were fried to a sky-high price, tens of thousands of heads.

"When it comes to food safety......

Mr. Ma, who had never spoken, suddenly said: "Before coming, Mr. Li and I also went to the data center, by the way, Mr. Zhao also went to see it some time ago, right?" After speaking, he looked at Zhao Zejun.

Zhao Zejun's heart moved, knowing that he was down to business, he smiled and nodded.

"Data center, what does it do?" Mr. Cao, the three major portals and Sina, put down the tableware and crabs in his hand at the same time.

Baidu Mr. Li smiled and continued: "In the information age, data speaks, how to accurately grasp user behavior habits, future market trends, provide users with better services, and even influence users." These all rely on data to give the right conclusion, so more than a year ago, Mr. Zhao initiated Baidu, Tencent, Zelianke three data sharing, the establishment of this data center, the main research direction, is user big data analysis. ”

All the top Internet professionals in mainland China are present, and they naturally know the significance and importance of big data.

Zhang Chaoyang asked curiously: "It was established more than a year ago?"

As he spoke, his eyes flashed on the faces of Zhao Zejun, Mr. Li and Mr. Ma of Tencent, and said with a smile: "Your secrecy work is good enough, and you haven't revealed any wind in advance." ”

"It's not a matter of secrecy. Zhao Zejun smiled: "The data center is a research institution, not market-oriented, the initial investment is mainly in all aspects, and the results can be directly used by the three of us, so there is no deliberate publicity." ”

"I've been researching for more than a year, have you had any results?" Ding Lei asked out of curiosity.

This question is also of concern to everyone present.

Time is money, and in more than a year, these three have established a big data center, which is a big step ahead of the national Internet, and the background strength and business of these three companies can collect the data is too comprehensive.

In one year, under the operation of these three companies, how far can the data center develop?

"I listened to their briefing. Zhao Zejun said: "For example, since the beginning of the year, Internet users have focused on food safety, especially the 'supervision'. Taobao makes agricultural and sideline products, how to play a good quality supervision card, the future prospects are promising. However, this piece, without data support, Alibaba also found out. ”

Baidu Mr. Li also said, "Coincidentally, when Mr. Ma and I went to see, there were a lot of things about Alibaba in the content reported to us, and the data center analyzed our three users and found that a large part of our users will often browse Taobao, and there is a lot of overlap between the users of the three major portals." ”

After speaking, the smile is silent.

It was quiet in the cabin, only the sound of the motor engine.

Ding Lei suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence: "Where is this data center, is it convenient to take us to visit?"
