Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 438 Standing Minions
The second World Internet Conference in Wuzhen was held as scheduled. The improvement in the security level was visible to the naked eye, turning this ancient tourist town into one of the safest places in the country.
Even if a biological virus broke out at this time, Zhou Dongsheng felt that he was safe and secure. After all, there were so many heavyweight guests attending this conference, so many that it was unspeakable.
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng could only focus his attention on a group of Internet giants and put the emphasis on the second "Huashan Sword Contest".
In this place where the density of bigwigs is too high, Zhou Dongsheng finally experienced what it means to be walking on ice. It makes people sigh: At the 20th of that year, at the Wuzhen Summit, I stood like a minion...
However, Zhou Dongsheng still enjoyed immersing himself in the various experiences at the forefront of the domestic Internet.
Standing from the perspective of the future, looking at the predictions of the past generations for the future, this indescribable feeling gave Zhou Dongsheng a wonderful interest in his heart.
Even for those who are at the forefront of the times, their predictions about the future are still limited by current technology and thinking due to the limitations of the times.
Just as people in the last century could only imagine that cars could fly into the sky, they could not foresee the birth of information technology, which completely changed the course of human history.
With the acceleration of information technology, the progress of human history has been greatly accelerated, and the world can be brought about earth-shaking changes in just a few years.
Just like 4G is the key that opened the first year of mobile development, in just five years it built a mobile Internet empire that attracted worldwide attention and completely changed every aspect of people's lives.
Before this, people’s imagination of the application of 4G technology was just that the Internet speed was a little faster and watching videos was more convenient.
Not to mention the start of the 5G era...
This perspective of looking at predecessors' predictions about the future is really too interesting. Zhou Dongsheng happily acts as a bystander and immerses himself in this Internet conference.
Even though he has a complete future in his mind, it does not prevent Zhou Dongsheng from being just a small follower. Apart from being a bystander, there is indeed no place for him.
Just watching a group of Internet giants come on stage to share their cutting-edge perspectives and ideas on the Internet, and the sparks of thought that burst out from the clash of different ideas, made Zhou Dongsheng enjoy it very much, and he swallowed them like a sponge.
It doesn’t matter whether you understood it or not. Zhou Dongsheng took a lot of photos . Ahem, he really couldn’t help himself. His mind was opened up, but not completely.
As night fell, the conference agenda came to a temporary end. After delivering his own charter, Ding Sanshi called Zhou Dongsheng and others and sneaked out of the meeting.
When they got to the street outside, Ding Sanshi smiled and said, "How is it? How do you feel?"
"Sure enough, all meetings are the same." Zhou Dongsheng said seriously, not daring to speak directly.
"Hahaha, I think so too. Meetings are too formal and it's not easy to chat. It's more comfortable to chat privately. Let's go eat. I have an appointment with a few people." Ding Sanshi smiled mysteriously.
As the earliest and youngest domestic Internet billionaire, Ding Sanshi has always been known for his good popularity in the circle, which may be why he was able to organize the famous "Wuzhen Dinner".
When Zhou Dongsheng heard about the meal, he couldn't help but be excited. Compared with the cursory observation of the Internet conference, in Zhou Dongsheng's view, this meal was undoubtedly the essence of the Internet conference.
At least for Zhou Dongsheng, unless he could have a meal with an unspeakable big shot and establish some relationship with him, there would be nothing more attractive than Ding Sanshi's dinner at the second Wuzhen Summit.
After all, compared to the several dinner parties that have become increasingly deserted and divided into factions in the future, this dinner party at this critical juncture in 2015 still has a unique flavor.
At this time, everyone is still relatively friendly. But when the first year of mobile technology begins and a number of giants start a new round of competition in the mobile Internet field, this superficial harmony will naturally not be able to be maintained.
Therefore, this meal can be regarded as the calm before the storm in the Internet world. Zhou Dongsheng feels that it is of great significance to have the opportunity to have this meal.
The group arrived at a B&B inn with ease. Ding Sanshi was obviously a regular customer and said in a very casual manner, "The food in this restaurant is really good. I also had dinner here during my last meeting."
"The boss said he was from the army's previous kitchen team and his cooking skills are really good. I also brought some of the pork you've been longing for..." When talking about food, Ding Sanshi was in high spirits and was obviously an old gourmet.
The assistant behind was silently carrying things. It was said that this young man was also an assistant? Why was the gap between this assistant and the assistant so big?
As soon as I walked into the inn, a simple woman came up to me with a smile on her face. "Boss Ding is here again. I've reserved a seat for you. Please come in."
"I brought a lot of ingredients. Can you please prepare them for me? How about making two dishes of Dongpo pork with zongzi and stir-fried wild rice stem with shredded pork? I also have fried eggs with dried radish, which is refreshing. I also can't miss the braised lamb, duck in sauce, and white water fish in Wuzhen..."
Ding Sanshi was extremely familiar with ordering dishes. He ordered more than a dozen dishes without hesitation, smiling like a 200-pound fat man, without any airs of a billionaire.
Perhaps this is what true elegance and easy-goingness mean.
After ordering the dishes, the assistant placed two jars of authentic old rice wine on the table, then turned around and left silently. Before leaving, he glanced at Zhou Dongsheng with a hint of envy in his eyes.
What an honor it is to be able to stay for dinner!
Although it is not easy to be Ding Sanshi's assistant, it is precisely because I am Ding Sanshi's assistant that I know the specifications of tonight's meal better.
If I could have a meal with these big guys, I could brag about it for the rest of my life.
"It's a pity that you don't drink. The old yellow wine I brought is no worse than Moutai, and Old Ma is quite a drinker." Ding Sanshi said with a smile.
"I just walked in and heard you, Old Ding, saying bad things about me. It would be unreasonable if I don't punish myself with a drink." A voice with a hint of laughter came.
Following the voice, I saw a well-mannered middle-aged man with a smile on his face. His highly recognizable face, which is well-known in China, appeared in front of me.
Looking at the smiling Xiao Ma Ge, Zhou Dongsheng seemed to feel the soul-searching question coming at him , "Think about it, if you don't charge money, will you become stronger?"
When he thought of this silly emoticon pack, the so-called tension and pressure suddenly disappeared, and Zhou Dongsheng tried hard to hold back his laughter.
"There's a new young man? Old Ding, this can't be your illegitimate child, right? Why don't you introduce him to me?" Xiao Ma Ge obviously has a good relationship with Ding Sanshi, and he joked casually.
"I want to, too. If I could have such an illegitimate child, I would acknowledge him. Zhou Dongsheng, after all, he is your fellow villager." Ding Sanshi introduced him with a smile.
Zhou Dongsheng had already stood up, with a bright smile on his face. Although he had scolded him a lot before, now that he had actually seen him, he couldn't help but respect such a big shot.
"Dongsheng Investment?" Xiao Ma Ge suddenly asked.
"Ah? Oh, it's my company, and Brother Xiao Ma actually knows about it?" Zhou Dongsheng blurted out with some surprise.
But after thinking about it for a while, Zhou Dongsheng guessed the reason. After all, Tengda had contacted him not long ago.
I just didn’t expect that Brother Ma would personally take care of this kind of “small business”?
