Chapter Fifty-Seven: Ocean Forum, Water Depth

Under the convening of Zhao Zejun, there are too many entrepreneurs who come to Dayang Village, most of which are the top levels in the industry of one party and the hegemon, and the 'Dayang Village Conference' soon spread to the press, and has a very domineering scientific name: Dayang Forum.

To tell the truth, no one knows so far, but some reporters rushed to find that a group of entrepreneurs were living in a very simple big tent or in a small two-story building built by a peasant family, fishing every day, climbing mountains, rolling up their sleeves and going to barbecue with their own hands, and gathering around the bonfire at night to sing and dance, and perform their talents.

The calmer it is, the more the outside world feels like it's material.

Build a five-star hotel as a conference venue, microphones, and a row of etiquette ladies, and finally give gifts, leaders speak, and invite 'so-and-so experts' and 'so-and-so professors' at every turn, not to say that it is not good, but it may not be able to really talk about anything valuable, which belongs to the official forum, mainly for propaganda effects.

Entrepreneurs at this level no longer need to be confined to the form of parties, and in the case of complete relaxation, a few words when fishing, and a laugh when eating barbecue, may be able to achieve some substantial progress.

That day, Alibaba boss Ma Yun caught a fish, Youku boss Gu Yongqiang used a copy net to help him copy fish on the shore, but his feet slipped into the reservoir and were dragged up by all hands and feet, the first sentence was 'This water is too deep', and the other CEOs present were stunned at first, and then laughed.

Ocean Forum, Water Depth.

"The water is deep and the water is quiet. "The deeper the water, the calmer the bottom is. For example, in the sea, the waves are turbulent on the water, and the waves are monstrous, but under the water, there is a dead silence. ”

Zhao Zejun's eyes drooped slightly, he glanced at Ma Huateng, and then at Ma Yun sitting beside him, smiled, and said: "Dead silence may not be, it is really a dead silence, without vitality and vitality, it will become a dead sea." ”

"Mr. Ma should not mean dead silence, but ......" Li Yanhong thought for a while and said, "Calm?"

Ma Huateng, who raised this topic, did not answer, but Ma Yun said: "I think it should also be calm." Don't talk about the sea, it's this small reservoir in front of us, the deepest place is more than ten meters, and the bottom can accommodate more than 40 catties of big fish...... Fished, two thousand pounds?"

"It's about more than 4,000 catties, this reservoir hasn't dried up for decades, and there are really a lot of fish. Zhao Zejun said with a smile.

Ma Yun nodded: "It can be seen that this small reservoir is enough to accommodate so many giant creatures to live together, not to mention the deep sea, no matter how big the whale is, there is enough hunting space in the deep sea." Mr. Ma, what do you say?"

This question was asked by Ma Huateng.

Ma Huateng hesitated for a moment, there was no interface.

This is not a very good answer, even if Ma Huateng and Ma Yun had shallow exchanges on some aspects of their ideas before they came, but there are too many areas of competition between Zelianke and Baidu's camp, Ali's Tencent camp, especially between Tencent and Zelianke, and some, such as WeChat and QQ for instant messaging, have been directly related to the company's backbone business.

At this time, to be calm is a difficult choice for either party, and the result can be predicted by anyone.

These words, in the first few days of the Ocean Forum, no one mentioned, the timing is not appropriate, rashly said, will only make others feel 'ill-intentioned' and abrupt, these days everyone eats and lives together, in fact, the personal distance has been shortened a lot, especially these four Internet industry giants, there are many common topics between each other, after a few days of seemingly unrelated business exchanges, there is a further understanding and understanding between each other.

Therefore, there will be a tentative remark of 'whether the bottom of the water is calm or turbulent', Ma Huateng provoked a conversation, everyone discussed, and he didn't want to make a clear statement.

In fact, Zhao Zejun also thought about this aspect during his time in Dayang Village.

Zelianke seems to be brave and invincible, but after the enterprise reaches today's scale, is it still necessary to continue to take competition as the main theme?

Competition is inevitable, but don't you have to focus on competition as you did in the early days of your business?

Baidu, Tencent, Zelianke, Ali, these four companies, huge in size, can be said to be the current mainland Internet four families, other companies, whether it is Youku, Xiaomi, or the old portal, in fact, are just a field of dominance, the level dimension is lower than these four.

The only one that is closest to the big four in terms of dimension is JD.com. However, JD.com's current scale is too small.

Therefore, these four are also the fattest, and any one of them bites a piece of meat, it is a gluttonous feast.

After so many years of practice, it has been proved that only the big four can bite the flesh of the big four, and the Internet has come to this day, and other companies can no longer resist the big four.

Therefore, the competition between the two camps has always been white-hot. Including this dispute between Zeshi and Youku, behind Youku, there is a shadow of Ali. Anyone can see that Ali intends to make efforts towards online video.

The problem is that no one has the ability to pull out any of the other guys outright.

Competition, there are pros and cons, the key is such a long-term direct face-to-face fire, whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

The height and vision of the four people present, their status in the Internet industry, and the pattern of the enterprise are almost the same, so this time Zhao Zejun took the initiative to release his goodwill, and after spending a leisurely time in Dayang Village, the four of them calmed down and took this aspect into account.

Fourth, everyone, to what extent do you want to fight?

Not to mention resource consumption, the key is that whether it is Ma Yun or Ma Huateng, there is a very painful feeling: fighting with Zhao Zejun, I am really tired, the mental pressure is huge, once or twice is okay, for a long time, the nerves of the whole person have been tense, and they are almost going to boil dry.

Don't talk about people who are tired, how can you not be tired when you are a business.

But all the energy is focused on this, and what else can be done?

It's like playing a game, a mage has to prevent an assassin from stabbing you in the back at all times, how to play, how to wave?

Zhao Zejun is also strange, why is he so aggressive, he is really 'fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, fighting with people, and the fun is endless', as if his energy is inexhaustible.

is young, but it gives people a feeling that they can't bear to roar for a moment, as if they have to do everything in the past few years.

Li Yanhong is relatively better, from the beginning, he chose to stand on the side of Zhao Zejunze Lianke, and followed all the way to pick up cheap. But to be honest, Baidu doesn't want the Internet to be in chaos, as the hegemon in the search field, the stable and rapid development of the Internet is the most beneficial for Baidu.

After being silent for a while, Zhao Zejun spoke.

"Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, the top of the small fish to face the biggest wind and waves, if you can survive the catastrophe without dying, there is a small part of the chance to sink to the middle layer, the middle level of the wind and waves is much smaller, the fish are also a lot safer, but the opportunity to hunt is also less, for a long time, part of the strength of the situation, will gradually expand, the opportunity to become the bottom of the real big fish. Only the bottom of the water is the safest place to hunt, no matter how rough the water surface is, it will not affect the big fish and giant animals under the water. Unless ......"

Zhao Zejun thought for a while and said with a smile: "Unless these big fish kill each other too much and give other fish a chance to take its place." ”

Hearing Zhao Zejun's obvious intention of reconciliation, Ma Huateng finally intervened and said: "Yes, the market is so big, as long as we don't mess up, it is enough to ensure our interests." ”

"If we can support each other at the right time, we can even maintain our absolute control of the Internet for a long time. Ma Yun said lightly.

"But ......" Li Yanhong smiled and said, "Competition, after all, is inevitable." ”

"Healthy competition. Zhao Zejun said slowly.

Healthy competition, in more popular terms, is to fight each other, without intersecting competition. Don't enrich yourself by going to 'yin' the other party and putting a piece of meat on the other person.

For example, as a video website, I focus on rich content and a more user-friendly user interface, rather than thinking about how to smear competitors, poach people from competitors, and poach users directly.

The benefits are obvious, improve their basic skills and reduce internal friction. There are also drawbacks, no longer opportunistic, it is difficult to achieve substantial results in a short period of time, all relying on the overall hard power of the enterprise;

Of course, the premise of healthy competition is that there must be a tacit understanding between the helmsmen of the Big Four. Otherwise, I will be upright, and if you stab you in the back, this will still be a mess of porridge.

At the beginning, Mr. Zhao proposed that Tencent be an open platform, which is probably what it meant. Ma Huateng said: "It's just that at that time, the objects we opened up were middle-level and superficial small and medium-sized enterprises, and there were still thick barriers between us." ”

Zhao Zejun nodded.

In the past, there was competition and cooperation between the four majors, and competition was the mainstay, but now the four major ones have been stably formed, and the benefits brought by cooperation are greater than the white-hot competition.

Once a tacit understanding is reached, the predators of the four major predators will completely turn to the small and medium-sized enterprises of the Internet. It may not be appropriate to use the word predator, it should be said that the Big Four have become the core of the Internet, and all small and medium-sized enterprises are around the Big Four, providing nutrients for the Big Four in a steady stream, and any promising project will have one or several shadows behind the Big Four.

Once the Big Four reach a tacit understanding and unanimously turn their attention to small and medium-sized enterprises, then the Big Four will become the supreme rulers of the Internet.

But until a tacit understanding is reached, no one, or a camp composed of two families, dares to do this alone.

"I'm looking forward to what the Internet will look like in a few years. Ma Yun said with a smile.

"It's too far away in a few years, let's look at the present. Zhao Zejun smiled at Ma Yun, "Hasn't Alibaba always wanted to eat Youku, Youku is the hegemon in the field, we can try it." ”

Ma Yun smiled: "That's what I mean." ”

"In addition, I suggest that there should be no announcements and news released to the outside world, because the original Skynet wanted to build momentum, so it was hyped up; now the situation is different, and the four major countries should establish absolute control over the Internet, and it is best to be behind the scenes.
