283. The world changes fast
The G12 summit in Hanzhou is still continuing some of its established schedules.
After the public questions from the 12 university student representatives, the next step was the 12 lucky audience questions. According to the audience's seat number, the selected person can ask any of their own questions to any president on the big stage.
This form of face-to-face torture is very interesting, and it is also a severe test for the CEOs.
For the presidents of G12 companies, it would be a shame to have no audience ask questions of their companies. But if it is asked in person by the audience, it is not an easy thing to do.
Because, usually, what the audience likes to ask is not an innocuous question, but often some unusually tricky visual opinions. This is often overwhelming for CEOs. How to properly answer the difficulties of the "Diao Min" on the spot is not an easy matter.
After the eight audience members at the scene asked questions publicly, Yao Yayao on the big stage was in a somewhat complicated mood, disappointed and worried.
The disappointment was due to the fact that two-thirds of the number of questions had passed, but there was no audience to ask him questions as a representative of Noah. Having a question from the audience means that it is helpful to brush the company's popularity. It's obvious.
Worriedly, Yao Yayao witnessed that the audience's question point of view was extremely difficult, and most of the questions were "touch where it hurts". The audience likes to see the presidents deflated on the spot, so they try their best to make it difficult and start all kinds of ruthlessness.
For example, Li Yanhong, the president of Du Niang.com, was asked by the audience about a fight with a self-media company. The self-media company, because of the apocryphal sentence "Du Niang, the daylily will be cold" funny multiple fill-in-the-blank questions, was angrily submitted to the court by Du Niang Company, claiming 5 million for the company's reputation loss.
The audience said angrily that Du Niang's company did not reflect the mind that a large company should have, and "the prime minister can't accommodate a small flat boat in his belly." "We media companies generally have no more than 10 employees. What is it that you have to compete with a micro-enterprise in a large company with tens of thousands of employees?! The viewer said.
Li Yanhong had no choice but to prevaricate that she was doing business abroad and did not know the specific details, so she reluctantly coped with the past. Of course, she had to say that she would personally ask about it, and she would definitely "turn big things into small things, and small things into small things".
For example, the well-known President Ma Yun was also asked about the recent quarrel with Shunfeng Express. This question is also a big fight, which makes the audience very interested in observance.
The audience member said: "The delivery business is like the school bus pick-up and drop-off business in the school. Since President Ma Yun does not have your own fleet of school buses, then they are under the jurisdiction of the transportation department. Now, Principal Ma Yun, you have specified which school buses of transportation companies can come to pick up and drop off, and even drew specific driving planning routes. Is this overstepping? At the same time, it also means that the hand is stretched too long? ”
This tricky question also made President Ma Yun a little embarrassed.
Yao Yayao quickly experienced the embarrassing scene of this situation. Because, the ninth audience's question is aimed at Noah's company.
The audience member's questions were:
"As we all know, Noah is an outstanding representative of the new trend of emerging Internet companies this year, and was specially invited to G12 to participate in the conference."
"Next year's special guest company will definitely rotate. This also means that next year, Noah may not be able to be qualified to appear here. ”
"At next year's G12 summit, if Noah wants to participate, it will inevitably pick one of the 11 companies on the big stage. My question is, Vice President Yao, which company do you think your company is going to squeeze out and continue to be here? ”
This question is extremely tricky, and it is simply deliberately hateful. This won warm applause from the audience. Everyone waited with bated breath to see how Yao Yayao would answer this question.
Yao Yayao was a little hesitant, because this question seemed simple, but it was actually not easy to answer.
On the surface, it seems that there are 11 options. But no matter which company the answer is, it will openly offend others. According to Yao Yayao's special training beforehand, this kind of question cannot be answered directly, but it is necessary to show the traditional philosophy of "the golden mean", which is the correct and wise choice.
Yao Yayao quickly figured this out, so he hesitated a little and said:
"Whether Noah will appear at this G12 summit next year, I personally don't think it matters."
This opening statement surprised the audience a little, and everyone was a little uproar, and there was a slight commotion. However, everyone knew that there would be a follow-up, so we continued to maintain a quiet atmosphere and looked forward to further explanations.
Yao Yayao continued: "It is necessary for me to mention one thing here, that is, the matter of commercial monopoly and the importance of anti-monopoly law of a commercial nature. ”
"For a country, oligopoly in many business areas will only ensure the short-term interests of a small number of people. In the long run, partial monopolies will only hinder the long-term progress of the country and the overall prosperity and strength of the nation. ”
"When a company establishes its own monopoly position in the industry, in order to rein in its dominant position, it will often be unscrupulous, deliberately suppressing the counterparty, and after sitting on the throne, it will slowly lose its follow-up enterprising."
"I don't want to go into too much on this issue, so let's use an analogy. When a tiger dominates a zoo for a long time, it's not necessarily a good thing. The law of jungle survival in the wild, under the cruel pressure of various existential crises, will give birth to a truly peerless powerhouse. ”
"Noah may not appear at this G12 summit next year, but our company's survival goal is quite clear, that is, our company will definitely issue unremitting challenges to the industry monopolist."
"Our company will strive to bring new concepts and concepts to the Internet field. For example, 30 years ago, the concept of shared bicycle travel was incredible. But today, this new concept of the Internet has swept the country and brought new challenges. ”
Noah longs for his own exclusive shouting voice. As for the rest, leave it to the market and time to judge the fallacy slowly! (Applause from the audience.) )
In the midst of the applause, the host Sa Xiaobei asked President Ma Yun with a smile: "President Ma Yun, what do you think about the monopoly of this industry?" ”
President Ma Yun said very simply: "My all-you-can-eat company does not have the nature of an oligopoly. At least, President Liu Qiangdong from Jingdong Group has always put a lot of pressure on me. He is young and strong, and he is very strong in combat, and I dare not take it lightly. (Applause from the audience.) )
Sa Xiaobei asked President Ma Huateng again: "President Ma Huateng, what do you think of the monopoly in the industry?" ”
President Ma Huateng smiled and said very implicitly: "Noah's corporate image LOGO is a small bug. As for whether it will pupate into a butterfly in the future, it may take a period of observation before you can see it. ”
"There used to be a famous anti-virus company's image LOGO, which was a domineering lion cub. However, this snoring lion cub did not survive for long. Therefore, the road to business development of any company is bumpy. Ambition alone is not enough. ”
After speaking, she deliberately turned her head and glanced in the direction of Sect Leader Zhou of 359 Company.
The audience applauded and laughed. Everyone knows that it was the president of the Zhou Sect who killed the once famous and glorious lion cub.
In the midst of the applause, Sa Xiaobei wanted to continue to say something, but something unexpectedly interrupted him. Because, inside his headphones, there were some prompt sounds from the background director. The voice was so slight that no one could hear it except himself.
After listening to this prompt silently, Sa Xiaobei took a deep breath before slowly speaking:
"It's not that I don't understand, it's just that the world is changing fast. Dear live audience, viewers in front of the TV, now I want to announce an update from the domestic Internet circle. ”
"There was something that was undoubtedly sudden, but it was clear. Now I would like to congratulate Noah on the fact that at next year's G12 summit, Noah will undoubtedly continue to appear at this conference. ”
The audience was amazed. There was a lot of whispering in the room.
Yao Yayao of Noah's company just now also publicly stated that Noah's company may not appear here next year. But in less than a few minutes, Sa Xiaobei said with certainty that Noah's company will definitely come to attend the meeting next year.
What is this, what is it, what is the play?!
Sa Xiaobei smiled and continued: "Due to the fact that there is an instrument shielding at the scene, everyone's mobile phone channels have temporarily lost their role in obtaining information. ”
"Now, please look up at the electronic backdrop on the big stage! As the saying goes, it's hard to get fat in one bite. Sometimes, though, miracles happen. ”
The presidents on the stage also had surprised expressions. Yao Yayao was also confused, and he didn't know what was going on. However, as far as Sa Xiaobei's hinting tone is concerned, the next announcement is probably the good news of his company, not bad news.
