No. 164 Rare confusion
There is a natural language barrier in text information search, and those who are accustomed to Chinese and those who are accustomed to English often have different experiences. However, picture information usually transcends the natural language barrier, and there is little difference between Chinese and English native speakers in their ability to recognize picture information. Spring and Autumn's search technology is more powerful than Google's, at least in terms of image search engines, Spring and Autumn Search temporarily beat Google.
This is everyone's perceptual perception.
The capital market is also emotional, and then doubled the valuation, pushing up to $4.8 billion. To be sure, the longer Google catches up with the image search engine business, the higher the valuation of Spring and Autumn Search. Google's current market value is about $120 billion, and NetEase, Sina, and Sohu dare not underestimate the potential of Spring and Autumn Search, and have responded to Wei Dongsheng's invitation.
Wei Dongsheng prefers technology to win, and four-fifths of his time is divided into supercomputers, chip design, operating systems, and applications. For this reason, Forbes released the 2005 Rich List, which greatly increased Wei Dongsheng's shareholding in Zhiyu Group, valuing Wei Dongsheng's net worth at $3 billion, surpassing Rong Zhijian to become the richest man in mainland China; In Greater China, it is tied for tenth with Xiangjiang Fok Yingdong, slightly second to Wang Yongqing of Wanwan Island; Looking at the world, it ranks 194th with other richest people.
Although Chunqiu is the leader of China's Internet industry, Wei Dongsheng has relatively little communication with others, and many summits are attended by Jing Minqiang on behalf of Chunqiu. However, just as Wei Dongsheng's diversified equity strategy could not stop Forbes from valuing him at a net worth of $3 billion, Internet circles and public opinion have also surpassed Jing Minqiang to regard Wei Dongsheng as the spiritual leader of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Wei Dongsheng did the Spring and Autumn Network to get the cash flow he wanted, and then decisively walked out of the Internet circle to develop Zhiyu Industry, but the Huaguo Internet circle left the legend of Wei Dongsheng.
Wei Dongsheng rarely participates in the China Internet Summit.
The West Lake Sword Debate organized by Jack Ma last year was Wei Dongsheng's first public appearance.
This year's Panyang City meeting is the second time.
In last year's West Lake Debate, Wei Dongsheng had already met with NetEase's Ding Lei and Sohu's Zhang Chaoyang, while Sina's Cao Guowei met for the first time. Wei Dongsheng probably knew Cao Guowei's qualifications, and Sina's poison pill plan to repel Shanda's acquisition was handled by Cao Guowei, who was the chief financial officer at the time.
Ma Huateng flew directly from Guangyang City to Panyang City, while Ding Lei, Cao Guowei, Zhang Chaoyang and others met in Yanjing first, and then flew to Panyang City together.
Wei Dongsheng and Cao Guowei were not familiar with each other, and politely expressed their welcome, but Cao Guowei saw Wei Dongsheng for the first time, and suddenly attacked and asked: "Is Chunqiu interested in holding shares in Sina?" ”
Wei Dongsheng was stunned.
Wei Dongsheng cleared his mind a little and said with a smile: "Didn't Sina just refuse Shanda, and Chunqiu is also an online game operator. ”
Cao Guowei did not answer directly: "Sina can complement the Spring and Autumn Search." ”
There is no contradiction between resisting Shanda's acquisition and inviting Chunqiu to take shares, the former is trying to steal Sina and drive out Sina's management; The latter is Sina, with me as the main leader, and the Spring and Autumn period to establish a strategic cooperative relationship. It is said that since Cao Guowei took power at Sina, although public opinion is optimistic about his new policy, Sina's stock price has fallen sharply by 20%, and it is in urgent need of good news to improve the situation. Now Spring and Autumn Search is being hyped because of the image search function, even if you can't reach a strategic partnership with Spring and Autumn, you can also relieve pressure through such a tone. That is to say, Cao Guowei did not sincerely invite Chunqiu to take a stake in Sina, but took advantage of this meeting to reduce the pressure on him to govern Sina.
Wei Dongsheng couldn't see through Cao Guowei's true thoughts in a short period of time, and habitually offered a delaying tactic: "Spring and Autumn is a search engine. ”
Cao Guowei: "What Sina needs is search technology. ”
Wei Dongsheng politely refused: "Spring and Autumn Search can provide Sina with search technology services, but it holds Sina's shares...... Spring and Autumn is not ready to develop the portal business for the time being. ”
Cao Guowei stopped at the right time and did not continue the topic.
At the end of the short temptation, Wei Dongsheng suggested that everyone take a walk outside: "Today's weather is cool, and there is a slanting wind blowing away the summer boredom, let's go to Liangzhu Garden for a walk." Liang Zhu is one of the four major folk love stories, everyone is familiar with it, right? Let's take a walk around and see how the Liangzhu theme park we built is. ”
The crowd gladly agreed.
According to the planning of Panyang Economic Development Zone, Weijiazhuang is a gathering place for schools and company headquarters, and has extremely high requirements for the natural environment. Before the Spring and Autumn Building was included in the planning, the Liangzhu Theme Park began to invest in construction, and some of the transplanted arbor flowers have adapted to the climate. After shuttling between green trees and streams for more than ten minutes, Ding Lei asked curiously: "Are you really the birthplace of Liangzhu culture here?" ”
Wei Dongsheng smiled and said, "Don't believe it? ”
Ding Lei: "I am from Ningbo, and there is also a Liangzhu Cultural Park in the western suburbs of Ningbo. ”
Wei Dongsheng laughed and said, "I see." ”
Ding Lei: "When I came to Panyang City, I learned that Panyang City also has Liangzhu cultural legends. ”
Wei Dongsheng didn't mind this, and said lightly: "Although the love story of Liang Zhu is far-reaching and well-known, no one can tell where Liang Zhu's hometown is. Fengqiu version, Runan version, Shangyu version, Hangzhou version, Weishan version, Zhucheng version, etc., there are too many to count. This is normal, celebrities are always easy to provoke. Even Hua Mulan can give you a certificate to come out of the former residence, not to mention the relatively real Liang Zhu? The legend of Liang Zhu in Panyang City, in the final analysis, the probability of being fake is probably higher than the probability of being true. However, it's hard to be confused. I grew up listening to Liang Zhu's story, so let's assume it's true. ”
Wei Dongsheng said that it was rare to be confused, and everyone naturally would not pursue it again.
The Liangzhu theme park has not yet been built, and Wei Dongsheng led everyone to visit the "Grass Bridge Worship" scenic spot. The arrangement of "Grass Bridge Worship" ushered in everyone's complaints: "The artistic conception is indeed far away, and the ancient style is full, but it is impossible to have such a building in ancient times." ”
Wei Dongsheng smiled.
As everyone complains, the "Grass Bridge Worship" scenic spot takes the fairy wind route, and the Grass Bridge Pavilion stands between the misty rockery waterfalls. The real scene of Caoqiao Pavilion is very small, about thirty or forty centimeters high, and through the distortion of complex light, it is reflected into a normal scale virtual scene that seems to be real and illusory. The impression left by the "Grass Bridge Worship" scenic spot is beautiful, the beauty of Xianxia fantasy wind; shocking, through the distortion of light to create complex real and illusory scenes; False, not that the scenery is fake, but that there is no such real and illusory technology in ancient times, and it is impossible to build the grass bridge pavilion in the waterfall.
Wei Dongsheng explained: "The Liangzhu theme garden does not take the cultural route, but the scientific and technological route. We look back on the history, but also look forward to the future, this is the concept that the Panyang Liangzhu theme garden wants to shape. The story of Liang Zhu takes place in ancient times, but we don't have to be limited to the bad environment of ancient architecture. And the Liang Zhu theme garden is just Liang Zhu. If it is like the Liangzhu Cultural Park in Ningbo, it is not in harmony with the image of high-tech companies such as the surrounding Spring and Autumn Building. Only by integrating scientific and technological genes can the Liangzhu theme garden be built. ”
Everyone talked while walking, and the content was mostly focused on the Liangzhu theme garden, and occasionally interspersed with some changes in the political environment.
Limited by the Chinese system, they are taboo to discuss politics without authorization.
Occasionally, a few words have been euphemistically expressed attitude.
Cao Guowei's attitude is rather vague, not saying whether he supports or opposes it, but only that Sina must have a broad vision and actively integrate into the times.
Ding Lei's attitude is very clear: "NetEase is a profit-seeking company, mobile and telecom value-added to make money, NetEase will do mobile and telecom value-added; Online games make money, and NetEase makes online games. Other things, like the dispute over the birthplace of Liang Zhu, are rare to be confused. ”
Wei Dongsheng is not stupid, and after exchanging a few words with each other, he understands everyone's position: Sina has ideas, but it is different from Spring and Autumn; NetEase has no ideas and goes with the flow; Tencent is biased towards Shenpeng, and outsiders always feel that Tencent's user base is low and infringement, and currently does not pay much attention to it; As for Sohu, don't talk about it.
Wei Dongsheng suddenly realized, no wonder NetEase turned around the fastest, and the backlash was the most intense.
NetEase's rapid turnaround is a hallmark, and NetEase has transformed very quickly and successfully from mobile and telecom value-added services to online game services. On the other hand, Sina and Sohu have not improved their online game business for a long time. In the area of public opinion guidance, NetEase also perfectly showed its own characteristics, saying that it would turn around without hesitation, and that it would not hesitate to change color when it said that it would change color.
Whoever is in the center will support whom.
This is the safest choice for the merchant route.
Shrinking the head, shrinking the head, having another idea, Wei Dongsheng is destined to not get useful help.
Liang Zhu garden walk was coming to an end, and Song Ningxing, mayor of Panyang City, drove to meet Ding Lei, Cao Guowei, Zhang Chaoyang and others. The times have developed to 2006, and the influence of the Internet is getting deeper and deeper, and the influence of the three major portals cannot be ignored by Song Ningxing. Song Ningxing was enthusiastic, and warmly invited them to open a branch in Panyang City: "Although Panyang City is located inland, there are many inconveniences, but in recent years, the development speed is extremely fast. In 2004, Panyang City ranked 11th with 45.08 billion yuan, and in 2005, Panyang City ranked fourth with 62.01 billion yuan. Moreover, with the implementation of infrastructure investment, the economic achievements of next year and the year after will only be more conspicuous, so why not create a better future with Panyang City? ”
As an inland province, a group of prefecture-level cities are at a loss for the future, and the total GDP in 2005 was between 50 billion and 60 billion yuan. Thanks to the manufacturing industry brought by Zhuwei Company, the economic scale of Panyang City quickly overtook its peers when it reached 62 billion yuan, and became the leader of the second-tier prefecture-level cities in Hedong Province.
In one year, it climbed from the eleventh in the province to the fourth in the province. This is a very good result. Song Ningxing relied on the dividends of Panyang City's rapid development and united a group of powerful departments around him, so that he could continue to puppet Mu Guanting, secretary of the municipal party committee, as mayor.
Unfortunately, such economic achievements are ineffective for the three major portals.
