Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 249 The Invisible Boss
Duan Yongping pointed to a man with a buzz cut, a pair of transparent frameless glasses , and a striking black mole on the side of his nose. His whole temperament was gentle and refined, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.
At first glance, he looks like a scholar, and gives the impression of a college teacher.
"This is Xiao Sun, Sun Tongyu. You may not have heard of his name, but in the field of domestic e-commerce, Xiao Sun is a well-deserved leader." Duan Yongping introduced with admiration.
"You must have heard of Alibaba's 18 Arhats. Xiao Sun is one of them. He was once the president of the largest e-commerce website in China. He single-handedly created half of the domestic e-commerce industry. It is not an exaggeration to call him an industry leader."
Sun Tongyu put his hands together and smiled gently, "Mr. Duan, you are too kind. Those were all achievements we made in the past. Nowadays, old guys like us are outdated. Especially when I see the young and promising Xiao Zhou, I feel even older."
Duan Yongping pretended to be displeased and said, "If you, Xiao Sun, are considered an old man, then people like me should retire and enjoy their old age."
"But then again, it seems like I've been enjoying my retirement these years, hahaha." Duan Yongping changed the subject and started joking.
When Zhou Dongsheng heard this, he immediately showed respect to Sun Tongyu and said with great admiration: "I was blind to recognize a great man. I didn't expect that Mr. Sun was actually one of the legendary Eighteen Arhats. I am so sorry for the disrespect."
Sun Tongyu waved his hand disapprovingly, "That's all in the past. It's easy to share adversity, but hard to share prosperity. I left there seven years ago."
After saying that, he shook his head and said no more. Sun Tongyu did not seem to want to talk about the past in detail. Everyone also tacitly agreed not to say more. After all, exposing someone's scars is not a good thing.
Unless the person involved has let it go and is willing to speak out about it himself, it is better to avoid doing anything.
After introducing Sun Tongyu, the only one left was the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat on the sofa. From his position, it can be seen that this middle-aged man must be the owner of this villa.
From beginning to end , the middle-aged man was making tea silently, fully fulfilling his duties as a host. When he finished speaking, a pot of tea had just been brewed, so the middle-aged man smiled and said.
"You have talked so much, why don't you have some tea and take a break first? I won't bother Mr. Duan to introduce me. I will introduce myself."
"Wang Wei, I'm just a down-to-earth person working in logistics. Compared with the legendary experiences of people like Mr. Duan, my story is really not worth mentioning." Wang Wei smiled casually and said to Zhou Dongsheng.
Zhou Dongsheng looked at the square face in front of him. The dark skin did not seem like that of a pampered man, but he was tall and strong. The calmness and composure in his words were obviously not as simple as he said.
After all, not to mention the value of this villa, the fact that he can chat and laugh with these big guys present is enough to prove his extraordinary status. After all, circles are something that cannot be seen or touched, but they do exist.
Speaking of logistics, there is also this name. Zhou Dongsheng immediately knew the identity of the big boss in front of him, the boss of SF Logistics, Wang Wei!
Unlike the well-known Internet tycoons, even if you have never seen them in person, you will not be unfamiliar with their appearance. Just like the two Internet tycoons known as the "two horses" of the Internet, Chinese people are very familiar with them.
But Wang Wei is different. Although SF Logistics is very famous, he has always been hidden behind the scenes and is little known.
It was not until SF Express went public that Wang Wei's identity as the helmsman of SF Express was revealed, and the public began to get to know this tycoon who controls half of the express delivery industry.
Shunfeng's listing that year was considered big news on the Internet. Zhou Dongsheng happened to learn about it out of curiosity and had a vague impression of Wang Wei.
The reason why no one recognized him was because Wang Wei was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and had a slicked-back hair when he went public, looking like an elite, which was completely different from the rough appearance in front of him.
Just like when he once vowed that he would never go public, people always change. After all, I have only seen photos of Zhou Dongsheng, so it is normal not to recognize him.
"Mr. Wang is really too modest. SF Logistics is a benchmark in the industry. You are a well-deserved boss in the express delivery industry. Today, thanks to Mr. Duan, it is really my honor to meet all the seniors here."
Now, Zhou Dongsheng has become more and more familiar with the whole thing of fancy sedan chairs. After all, it is never wrong to say nice things to people.
In front of these successful bosses, it is absolutely not an exaggeration to regard oneself as a junior. After all, these individuals have fought hard through those glorious years.
It is completely different from the achievements made by "lucky guys" like himself through speculation and profiteering, and Zhou Dongsheng is very self-aware of this.
"Oh? I didn't expect you actually knew me. Don't call me Mr. Boss all the time. It sounds strange. Just call me Brother Wang." Wang Wei was also very generous and spoke straight to the point.
"Then I'd be very sorry to refuse, Brother Wang." Zhou Dongsheng chuckled and took the opportunity to ask for help. Naturally, he was eager for such a good thing.
"Oh, what you said, Old Wang, makes us look inferior." Ding Sanshi laughed, turned around and joked with a smile.
"Then Xiao Zhou, just call me Brother Ding. Being called brother by young people like you makes me look younger."
"Okay, Brother Ding, if you like to hear it, I will come to your place every day when we return to Guangzhou and try to make you sound younger." Zhou Dongsheng accepted it submissively.
Even Sun Tongyu brought up the topic, which allowed the younger Zhou Dongsheng to fully integrate into the occasion and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Even if it was just polite words, Zhou Dongsheng had established a casual acquaintance with several big guys, and all this was naturally thanks to Duan Yongping's kindness.
To be more precise, it should be Huang Zheng's credit, but the accumulation of personal connections is just like this, spreading layer by layer to form one's own interpersonal network.
Zhou Dongsheng did not express his gratitude verbally, but kept it in mind, hoping that he would be able to repay the favor in the future.
After everyone was introduced, they exchanged a few pleasantries and everyone became more familiar with each other.
At this time, Duan Yongping also smiled and said: "This time when I returned to China, in addition to the company's daily meetings, I also wanted to take a look at the social e-commerce project that Huang Zhengxin is working on."
"I have always had limited knowledge of new things on the Internet, especially the e-commerce field, which I think is already saturated. Xiao Sun should know this best ."
Sun Tongyu, who was called, nodded thoughtfully. After all, he once managed the largest e-commerce website in the country and was quite familiar with the industry trends.
E-commerce and social networking, two popular Internet fields, gave birth to two domestic Internet giants. They are also the private territory of the two giants. In these two fields, the 28th law of the giants has long been formed.
Latecomers can only compete for market share among the "number two" players, and their impact on the giants is minimal.
"But after listening to what Huang Zheng and Xiao Zhou said about the potential of mobile Internet and the sinking market that social e-commerce is targeting, I think this project seems to have a promising future."
Duan Yongping said with a smile, and then gave Huang Zheng a look, indicating that Huang Zheng should continue. After all, this matter should be said by Huang Zheng himself, so that it would be more convincing.
Huang Zheng cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Not long ago, the social e-commerce project we launched based on social software has achieved a daily transaction volume of over 1 million orders."
