Chapter 820
A few people went to the discussion area on the side, found an empty seat and sat down. Chen Tianjiao then began to talk excitedly about his big plan.
I have to say that apart from the set-top box being a flaw, many of Chen Tianjiao's ideas are fine. It's a pity that such a genius with outstanding vision was born in the wrong era.
You may say that his idea was early, but in fact it was late. He created a product for the cable TV era before the advent of Internet TV.
You might say he was late in coming to his idea, but his idea was realized by smart TVs a few years later.
This is very embarrassing.
What he made is the film library in the era of smart TV, but his ambition is bigger. He wants to provide a one-stop service from IP creation to incubation, shooting and screening.
After the chat, Lu Yiming and Jack Ma left.
Before leaving, Lu Yiming took out a business card and handed it to Chen Tianjiao.
"I'm very interested in your plan. Keep in touch when you have time."
Chen Tianjiao looked at the business card made of gold-stamped card in his hand and suddenly became excited.
Chen Danian was also very excited and said, "Brother, it seems that Mr. Lu is very optimistic about our plan. Aren't you worried about not having funds? We can definitely convince Mr. Lu to invest. With Mr. Lu's participation, the issue of funds will no longer be a problem."
“That makes sense.”
Chen Tianjiao solemnly put the business card into the inner pocket of his suit and said, "I'll find a chance to discuss this with Mr. Lu in detail."
On the other side, Jack Ma was also quite surprised when he saw that Lu Yiming actually gave Chen Tianjiao a high-standard business card.
"Mr. Lu, do you really think their plan is good? Do you want to invest in their Holy Box?"
To be honest, although Chen Tianjiao's words were exaggerated, Jack Ma still found it hard to believe.
Although Jack Ma is also a genius at making promises, he still finds it hard to believe that Chen Tianjiao always compares himself with Disney.
This is considered bragging in the bragging world!
Lu Yiming did not directly answer Jack Ma's question, but said ambiguously: "I think there is nothing wrong with his thinking."
Although TV boxes and the like have not been successful, IP as a thing will have huge value in the future!
When Jack Ma heard what Lu Yiming said, he started thinking.
Is this TV box really useful?
Humans are social animals, so if you want to get along well, you have to find a way to integrate into the circle. People in the underworld hang out in the underworld, politicians hang out in the political arena, and businessmen naturally hang out in the business world.
But the business world is huge, with countless industries and professions, so under the big circle, there are many small circles. The ones divided by region are called business groups. For example, the Lingnan business group is very famous in China, and many bigwigs are from this circle.
In addition to regions, circles are sometimes divided according to industries.
The West Lake Sword Conference is a small circle formed by Jack Ma after being rejected by the Taishan Club. It is now in its fifth session, and its influence in the Internet industry is growing day by day.
At the end of the day's meeting, everyone left the venue one after another. However, in the interview area set up at the entrance of the venue, reporters were already waiting outside with their cameras.
"Lu is the richest man."
A reporter held the microphone in front of Lu Yiming, but instead of asking questions related to the meeting, he asked a question that sounded irrelevant: "Has Mr. Lu read the book The World Is Flat?"
Lu Yiming smiled widely: "A brief history of the 21st century, I have certainly read such a masterpiece."
It has to be said that the Americans at that time were still very respectable and confident, and gave birth to many top talents with international industry and excellent vision.
Thomas Friedman, the author of "The World Is Flat", was already recognized as the most influential journalist in the United States before the book was published.
After the publication of "The World Is Flat", he established his status as a master of trends, and his influence is no longer limited to the United States. His column on international affairs in the New York Times has been reprinted by more than 700 newspapers around the world. He can be said to be the uncrowned king among uncrowned kings.
The book describes the challenges and benefits brought by globalization in rich and vivid language, and has caused a sensation around the world since its publication in April 2005.
The reporter then got to the point and asked, "I heard that Mr. Lu's investments are all over the world. Do you also support the view of globalization in the book?"
The reporters around quickly pointed their cameras at Lu Yiming.
Facing the camera, Lu Yiming looked calm and said with a smile: "In fact, we are already in an era of globalization. This is a great opportunity for Xiaguo."
The rise of the Xia Kingdom relied on globalization and the continuous development of its own physical manufacturing industry, thereby promoting the leapfrog development of its own productivity through trade, and transforming itself from a poor and weak agricultural country to a "world factory".
The first to become the world's factory was the British Empire. They had been working hard since the Age of Discovery and dominated the entire world before World War I. They were known as the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets.
The second country to become the world's factory is the United States, which began to dominate the direction of the world after World War II.
It can be seen from this that productivity is the most important force of a country. Economy is the foundation and politics is the superstructure. If the economic foundation is not well laid, nothing else can be discussed.
Whether it is the British Empire or the United States, their status as the world's factory is based on war dividends and resource plunder. In the minds of the Ansari people, development depends on robbing resources. This is determined by the Age of Exploration and the geographical location of Europe, which is part of their culture.
Simply put, the place they live in is too small, so their horizons are also very small. They engage in maritime trade, and various pirates appear, robbing ships and goods. They are often in a situation where you have it and I don’t have it. Gradually, they develop a zero-sum mentality, believing that if one party has more, the other party must decrease, and there is no situation where everyone grows.
However, the land area of Xia Kingdom is almost the same as that of Europe. Xia Kingdom is a unified country, while Europe has more than fifty political parties.
In a similarly large area, they have more countries than the provincial administrative regions of Xia.
In addition to its vast territory, the Xia Kingdom also has a profound history and culture.
Before, when people said about five thousand years, everyone always thought it was a total of five thousand years, but in fact it was about five thousand years above and five thousand years below. With the development of archaeology in the future, maybe another five thousand years will be added in between.
During this long period of time, this land has experienced countless cycles of war or peace, conspiracy or open conspiracy.
It seems that everything that happens in the world today can be supported by the history of the Xia Kingdom.
Thanks to such profound cultural heritage, Xia’s decision-makers can always easily find the clearest and most straightforward path in the turbulent world.
The Western world in the early 21st century was not peaceful. The United States was busy messing around the world, while Xia took this opportunity to put all its efforts into developing its economy.
In a few years, a grand event will astonish the whole world.
Today, the United States is still immersed in its own fantasy. The powerful scientific and technological force makes them feel that they are the only ones in the world. They are completely unaware that in the far east, a giant dragon is preparing to take off.
Maybe they realize it, but they don't bother to pay attention.
The reporter asked, "Why do you say that? Mr. Lu, why do you think this is an opportunity for Xiaguo?"
Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said, "This is a commercial secret. Please forgive me for not telling you."
At this time, the United States is still dreaming of globalization, and Lu Yiming doesn't want them to wake up from this dream so early.
They are still playing various financial games and obsessed with all kinds of beautiful surface data, but they don't know that industrial hollowing out not only sows the seeds of disaster for them, but also allows the biggest dividend of globalization to be eaten by Xia Country.
Lu Yiming is a very moral person, he would never wake anyone up from their sweet dreams.
The reporters had no idea what Lu Yiming was thinking. When they heard that it involved commercial secrets, although everyone was very curious, they had no way of asking further questions.
Another reporter asked, "Mr. Lu, QQ has already defeated MSN. Will you consider expanding overseas?"
Expanding overseas?
Only fools would expand overseas. If you do it badly, you will lose money. If you do it well, you will be banned. No matter what you do, you will suffer losses. It's useless to expand overseas.
Of course, it's okay to complain about this in your heart, but forget it if you really want to say it out loud. After all, these remarks are too explosive even in the explosive circle.
Now that Yixun is preparing to go public on the Hong Kong stock market, it is necessary to say a few nice words. Entering overseas markets sounds very impressive!
What is the most important thing when playing the financial game? Of course, the most important thing is the pattern. After all, if the pattern is not high enough, how can you fool the leeks to take over?
"QQ is committed to connecting the world. Our slogan is 'Communicate freely every day'. We hope to bring convenient and fast communication to everyone in the world."
Lu Yiming didn't actually answer the reporter's question, but what he said was so grand and sounded so impressive that it quickly won applause.
Everyone assumes that QQ will definitely enter overseas markets and participate in global competition.
This makes everyone feel proud.
The Internet was born abroad, so Xiaguo seems to be inherently backward, and the development of the Internet over the past few decades has proved that this is the case.
Foreign Internet companies are constantly entering the Xia country's market and gaining ground, but Xia country's Internet companies are powerless to resist.
Now Yixun Technology is able to take on the responsibility and enter the overseas market, which is very encouraging to everyone.
In addition to reporters, there were also many onlookers present.
Just when everyone was discussing when QQ would become popular in America, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted , "What Mr. Lu? I see that you make all your money in dirty ways! If I see you outside, I will kill you!"
This shout scared everyone. The security guards who were originally absent-minded in maintaining the most basic order were suddenly frightened. The expressions on their faces instantly tensed, and then they quickly moved to the side of Lu Yiming and others.
The reporters were also frightened by the shout and turned their heads to look for the source of the sound.
"Fuck, who is so powerful that he dares to openly threaten Mr. Lu?"
"Good fellow, in broad daylight, you are shouting and calling for the death of Mr. Lu, where does this hero come from?"
After everyone searched, they saw that the person who had just shouted was an angry young mother.
It’s not because everyone has good eyesight, but because the young mother has already rushed in front of Lu Yiming.
She put her hands on her hips, pointed at Lu Yiming's nose and yelled, "It's because of you that my child is addicted to online games. Did you know that I once went to the Internet cafe to look for someone for three consecutive nights?"
Fortunately, there were a few security guards holding big iron sticks in front of Lu Yiming, otherwise there was no doubt that this woman would rush up and slap Lu Yiming twice.
Lu Yiming was speechless.
He just came to join in the fun and brag, he didn't provoke anyone, so how come there is a mortal enemy?
If it were someone else, Lu Yiming would be fearless and would defy everything, but the young mother in front of him was just an ordinary citizen and he had no way to deal with her.
Moreover, he immediately understood what was going on.
If you ask what is the most perfect thing in the world, it is not gods or Buddhas, but parents.
When children are disobedient, they can blame it on martial arts novels, Subor learning machines, electronic dictionaries, online games, computers or mobile phones. Anyway, they themselves are non-stick pans.
It is obvious that the person in front of us is the one who, instead of figuring out whether he is constipated or not because he can't defecate, comes over to blame the earth for having no gravity.
After a brief commotion, the reporters around regained their professional ethics and turned their cameras to Lu Yiming and the young mother in front of them.
What QQ going overseas, what global market, how can they be more eye-catching than the shouting and killing in front of us?
Being blocked, Lu Yiming had no choice but to ask, "Sister, there are more than a hundred online games launched in Xia Country every year, and my company is involved in only a few of them. What is your son playing?"
The man said confidently: "World of Warcraft."
After saying this, the young mother continued to look at Lu Yiming fiercely, as if the matter would not be over unless Lu Yiming gave her an explanation.
But what she didn't expect was that when she finished speaking, she didn't get sympathy from the people around her, but instead the whole audience burst into laughter.
One audience member told her: "Ma'am, you are scolding the wrong person. World of Warcraft is a game developed by Blizzard and has nothing to do with Mr. Lu."
Lu Yiming was also at a loss for words and said, "If you are really angry, you can go to the gate of Blizzard headquarters to protest to them. I am willing to pay for your plane ticket."
After hearing this , everyone laughed even louder. After the young mother realized that she had scolded the wrong person, she felt very embarrassed and turned around and ran away.
