Chapter 495: The Strongest Brain
Although Fang Dongxing felt a little surprised, since Lu Chong said that he was talking to Ma Jun alone, of course he would not be able to continue to stay at the scene, and after clinking glasses with Ma Jun again, he left to greet the other guests.
"Mr. Ma, you are a pioneer of the Internet, I would like to ask, do you have any good suggestions or suggestions for Huaxia Weibo?"
After Fang Dongxing and the others left, Lu Chong asked a question very abruptly.
Lu Chong's question obviously caught Ma Jun a little unexpectedly, and after frowning slightly, Ma Jun shook his head and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Lu, I think you really found the wrong person this time." You have done a very good job of keeping Weibo confidential, and I didn't know about this new thing until today, and without investigation, I don't have the right to speak, so how can I give any opinion!"
To be honest, Lu Chong's question made Ma Jun's seal score on him a lot. The so-called shallow and deep talk is a taboo, Lu Chong and he have only met for the first time, and it seems a little unstable to ask such a question.
Lu Chong didn't seem to notice Ma Jun's unhappiness, but shook his head and said: "Mr. Ma is too modest, in fact, although Huaxia Weibo is infinitely beautiful today, it has been greatly restricted in one aspect, and Mr. Ma should also have a deep understanding of this restriction in the process of operating Taobao!"
Ma Jun's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he said after a slight groan: "You mean the mobile phone?"
Lu Chong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What the hero sees is the same, it is the mobile phone! Whether it is our Huaxia Weibo or your company's Taobao, if you want to make greater progress in the future, you must not be able to do without the development of mobile phones." I'd rather call it a ...... than a mobile phone Mobile devices!"
Ma Jun looked at Lu Chong with a hint of surprise and incomprehension. Surprisingly, Lu Chong's prediction of the future development trend is very consistent with himself, and I don't understand why Lu Chong took the initiative to talk to him about this.
It was the first time they had met, and before today, Ma Jun had only heard Lu Chong's name.
Lu Chong didn't explain much, and continued: "There are many people who say that this is an era of the Internet, but in my opinion, they are only half right! Two words are missing, mobile! The future should be an era of mobile Internet!"
"Well said!" Ma Jun gave Lu Chong a thumbs up.
In the era of mobile Internet, these words are summed up really incisively! Mr. Lu does have a long-term vision, and Ma deeply admires it. But...... Are you talking to me about this now, but do you have any plans?"
Ma Jun was a pragmatic person who began to inquire about Lu Chong's purpose in the most direct way.
Lu Chong smiled and said: "If my guess is correct, Mr. Ma, you should have already started to make efforts in this regard, Huaxia Weibo wants to take a ride!"
There was surprise in Ma Jun's eyes again, Ali is indeed negotiating with Intel, the world's largest chip manufacturer, and has reached a preliminary intention.
The two sides will announce next month that they will jointly build China's first mobile wireless business platform in Beijing. The handheld trading module developed by the two parties will be applied directly to smartphones.
"Mr. Lu, Huaxia Weibo is also preparing to get involved in e-commerce?"
Although Huaxia Weibo operates a social network, it is not completely impossible for these users to be converted into consumer users on the Internet.
Judging from the current momentum of Huaxia Weibo, it will inevitably become an Internet company with a strong user base, and if they are really ready to get involved in e-commerce, it will be a potential threat to Ma Jun's Ali.
"No, Huaxia Weibo will not now, and has no plans to get involved in e-commerce in the future. What I call hitchhiking, but I want to play a role in the research and development of future mobile devices, and develop mobile devices that are more suitable for social networks. ”
Lu Chong first dispelled Ma Jun's doubts in a very positive tone, and then put forward his own demand.
Ma Jun breathed a sigh of relief, although he was not afraid of any competitor, but it was always pleasant for a competitor like Huaxia Weibo to have one less.
"Mr. Lu, the establishment of Ali's scientific research team is not a day's work, we have paid a great price to have today's strength, you want to hitchhike, but you don't know what you can bring to Ali?"
"In addition, our research goal has always been based on e-commerce, and we have not invested much energy in other aspects, and we have no plans to do so in the future. ”
In business, although Ma Jun admired Lu Chong's vision, he showed some interest in Lu Chong's proposal.
Ali does have a team of excellent scientific researchers, otherwise they would not be able to support the rapid development of Taobao, but their research objects will always only be e-commerce applications that are useful to them.
At least at this stage, Ma Jun has no plans to get involved in other areas such as social networking.
Lu Chong didn't answer Ma Jun's question, but changed the topic and asked, "Mr. Ma, I don't know what you think of the words national industry?"
Ma Jun's eyes immediately showed a vigilant look, and he shook his head and said: "With the development of the Internet, we have entered the era of the global village, and for our Internet companies, we don't have to be too obsessed with the nature of capital!"
Alibaba's upfront funding mainly comes from Japan's SoftBank, and due to historical reasons, the feud between China and Japan has a long history.
Although Alibaba's equity has become much more complicated with the investment of American capital, and it no longer has an obvious label of Japanese capital, Ma Jun is still reluctant to talk too much about this topic.
Lu Chong shook his head.
"Mr. Ma, this is true for ordinary companies, but can you imagine the situation where Huaguo's telecommunications and petrochemical industries are controlled by foreign capital?"
Ma Jun immediately retorted: "Mr. Lu, the industries you gave an example are all related to the foundation of the national economy and people's livelihood, and of course they must be directly controlled by domestic capital or even by the state. But we at Ali are just an e-commerce company, but we don't have to have any scruples about this. ”
Lu Chong still shook his head.
"Mr. Ma, can you imagine that half of China's retail industry is under the control of foreign capital, not even retail, but also our financial ...... Bank!"
For the first time, Ma Jun's face showed a look of shock.
Finance, banking!
This is indeed a thing he has been struggling with recently, but this distress, he has not even revealed any information to the people closest to him.
Where did Lu Chong find out about this plan?
Ma Jun finally began to look at the man in front of him who was younger than him.
This person seems to have a brain that is not weaker than him!
