Volume 4 Crazy Growth 2017 Chapter 880
While the three of them were chatting and laughing, they had already arrived at their destination, which is also one of the 20 venues of the Wuzhen Summit.
Tong'an Hall, located in the Internet International Convention and Exhibition Center, is the place where the topic of "Internet-based Targeted Poverty Alleviation" will be discussed.
In addition, most of the branch venues are also located in the International Convention and Exhibition Center, making it convenient for guests to travel back and forth between multiple venues.
After all, three short days are just a blink of an eye. At most there are only a few dozen hours, and every minute and every second is precious.
When the three arrived at the venue on time, many guests were already seated there, of course, some reporters from official media were indispensable among them, not only were they armed with cameras, but they were also writing and drawing with pens and paper, and it was obvious that they came well prepared.
The three of them found their seats and sat down calmly. During this process, they inevitably attracted a lot of attention, especially Zhou Dongsheng, who was undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching new stars in the audience.
After all, compared to Yang Luyu and Huang Zheng who are low-key and more focused on doing practical things, Zhou Dongsheng has appeared in the public eye many times and even created his own unique and distinctive style, which is still fresh in the memory of the general public.
At this Internet conference, apart from a group of long-established and well-known bigwigs, it is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Dongsheng's popularity is definitely among the best.
This may be one of the main reasons why he was invited to speak.
After all, in addition to the main characters of the Five Great Masters, other supporting roles are also indispensable in the Huashan Sword Contest, whether it is the fresh blood in the martial arts world or the martial arts world people who act as bystanders...
They are all part of this grand event, and a young and powerful person like Zhou Dongsheng is indeed a rare existence in the world.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng has too many elements. He started from scratch as a grassroots youth selling underwear seized the opportunity of the Internet and stepped onto the big stage of the Internet step by step like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
Three years ago, when he appeared at a dinner party in Wuzhen, the general public knew nothing about this young man. But now, his name lives up to his name, and like a rising sun, he is gradually being known by more and more people.
Before we knew it, the name "Zhou Dongsheng" has already made it onto the wealth list, and as a youngster, he is on par with a number of well-established bosses.
The mentality of the general public has also changed from being dumbfounded at the beginning to getting used to it, and then gradually evolved into a strong sense of anticipation.
Seeing Zhou Dongsheng reach his current height in a short period of time, the general public can't help but be curious and want to see how far Zhou Dongsheng can go or how high he can climb?
Some people want to see him rise to prominence, and naturally there are also people who secretly hope that he will fall from grace. People's opinions vary.
With such much anticipated attention, Zhou Dongsheng's popularity naturally increased.
What's more, he is notoriously idle.
Not only is he a top internet celebrity famous throughout the entire network, but his guest appearance in "Wolf Warrior 2", a movie that raked in 6 billion yuan at the box office and topped the box office champion in Chinese film history, is enough to secure Zhou Dongsheng the title of Best New Actor of the Year.
It is worth mentioning that after "Wolf Warrior 2" raked in 6 billion yuan at the box office, it was natural for this movie to win many film awards in the industry.
Even Zhou Dongsheng benefited from it and was nominated for multiple newcomer awards, but perhaps because Zhou Dongsheng himself was not present, he did not win any and was just a runner-up the whole time.
But there is no doubt that the label of "supporting actor with a box office of 6 billion" is enough to make Zhou Dongsheng stand out among the bigwigs at the Internet conference.
Maybe he cannot be compared with the big guys in his career, but in terms of artistic attainments, he has already taken the lead.
As the saying goes, an entrepreneur who doesn’t want to be an actor is not a good internet celebrity. It is not easy to be both. It is even rarer in the world to have all three like Zhou Dongsheng.
For example, Master Ma, who starred in "Kung Fu Yoga" not long ago, has undoubtedly become one of them (funny).
Ahem, let's get back to the topic. Under the moderation of the host, the venue soon quieted down and everyone began to engage in an orderly exchange of ideas around the topic.
The meeting agenda lasted three hours, a whole morning, so the schedule was relatively tight.
"...Okay, the next speaker is someone you are all probably familiar with. He is Zhou Dongsheng, the founder of Dongsheng Group. Please welcome him!"
Following the host's introduction, Zhou Dongsheng stood up suddenly, motioned slightly to the others, and then walked onto the stage calmly. Although the people sitting in the audience were not ordinary people, the pressure was naturally great...
But Zhou Dongsheng is no longer the same as he was in the past. He has experienced many similar situations and has become accustomed to them, so he will not lose his composure.
The people in the audience were also very appreciative and gave a symbolic but not too warm round of applause, and then many eyes turned to the young face on the stage.
Considering Zhou Dongsheng's age, he is most likely the youngest among all the guests present. The fact that he has reached his current height and has been invited to speak on the stage is enough to explain everything. Naturally, no one will question it any more.
On the contrary, people are more looking forward to what such a young man can say.
After all, as Zhou Dongsheng's name became widely known and his many incredible deeds were widely circulated, some of his flaws and shortcomings were naturally magnified and criticized.
Perhaps the most important issue is the academic qualifications.
Although there are countless people who have risen from obscurity throughout history, both in China and abroad, and even more who have achieved great success, each of them can be said to be a grassroots hero whose name has been recorded in history and will be remembered forever.
But obviously, times have changed. It cannot be said that such incidents do not exist, but they are becoming fewer and fewer, and most of them do not cause much trouble.
Zhou Dongsheng was undoubtedly an outlier among them, like a wild boar rushing into this circle, leaving a group of well-dressed social elites stunned.
Standing on the stage, Zhou Dongsheng looked around at the audience, and then his signature bright smile spread across his face. When he actually stood on the stage, he felt unusually peaceful inside.
Zhou Dongsheng slowly said, "I was invited to attend the Internet conference this time. I originally came here to listen in with the mentality of learning..."
"When the organizers invited me to participate in the discussion, I actually refused at first. After all, as a junior, I really don't have the qualifications to stand on the stage and share my experience with everyone..."
"But when I learned that the topic here was about 'Internet-based targeted poverty alleviation', I immediately became interested. After all, this topic coincides with what we are doing..."
"In that case, I will make a fool of myself and say a few words."
The slightly playful opening remarks gave many people present a refreshing feeling. In such an official and formal occasion, most speeches were relatively conventional.
When these words came out of Zhou Dongsheng's mouth, they did not seem abrupt at all. Instead, they were like a breath of fresh air, which aroused the interest of many people and made them want to hear the young people's opinions.
"First of all, I'd like to state that I'm not a senior technician and my understanding of technology is limited. Compared to our predecessors who created the Internet, our generation of young people is more like dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants..."
"We are used to using the Internet as a tool without having to get to the bottom of its essence. As the saying goes, every generation has its own long march, and the next generation must always go one step further based on the foundation of their predecessors..."
"Perhaps we have limited understanding of Internet technology itself, but this does not prevent us from using this tool to perfection. As for how to achieve the element of 'Internet-based targeted poverty alleviation', my opinion is based on the use of tools."
Zhou Dongsheng organized his words and continued talking.
"Just as the symbol of human civilization is learning to use tools, the changes in social productivity also depend on the upgrading of tools. Although the Internet has only been around for a few decades..."
"But there is no doubt that the Internet may be the most successful tool ever created by mankind, and we are still developing the use of this tool. The imagination space that the Internet can provide is so vast and boundless, like the sea of stars..."
"But we all know that the value of the Internet is not inherent, but is endowed by human needs. While we continue to look to the future, few people focus on the present..."
“Technology is not a highbrow art. Its value lies only when it is truly used to benefit people!”
"Before this, the Internet had already gone a long way on this road and built a brilliant and splendid Internet world, so brilliant that we have even overlooked that there are still corners of the world that the Internet has not penetrated..."
"As of 2017, the number of Internet users in my country has reached 772 million. At the same time, the total population of my country has officially exceeded 1.4 billion, but nearly half of the population has never touched the Internet."
"Apart from the children, there is still a group of , and that is the rural areas where the Internet is not yet widely used."
"Although the emergence of mobile Internet has broken down regional barriers to a certain extent, due to various objective factors, there are still countless pain points hindering the development of rural areas."
"If we want to use the Internet to achieve targeted poverty alleviation, the most important thing is undoubtedly to take the initiative to reach the grassroots, use technology to open up market channels, and benefit rural areas..."
"Of course, words are not enough. Since I dare to speak so arrogantly here, it is naturally because we not only did it, but also made a small contribution in this regard. On this point, I think Huang Zheng of Pinduoduo has more say than me..."
When Huang Zheng heard Zhou Dongsheng call on him, he gave an awkward but polite smile, secretly complaining in his heart.
Hey kid, don’t finish all the words by yourself. What should I do when it’s my turn to go on stage and I have nothing to say?
However, Zhou Dongsheng on the stage was completely unaware of this and couldn't stop talking once he started.
"In the past two years, Pinxixi, which has opened up the sinking market with the social e-commerce model, not only has more than 200 million users, but also has successfully exceeded 100 billion in annual transaction volume. It took Taobao 5 years and JD.com 10 years to achieve the same result!"
"This is not only due to the social e-commerce model we developed, but also because we positioned the market outside the Fifth Ring Road, tapping into the sinking market that traditional e-commerce giants ignored, and tackling this hard bone that no one was willing to tack..."
"Facts speak louder than words. The achievements made by Pinxixi so far are enough to show how vast this overlooked market is. The most important thing is to make rural areas the beneficiaries of technological convenience..."
"Whether it is the agricultural assistance alliance or the integration of production and marketing, they have successfully opened up the channels for agricultural product e-commerce, allowing more agricultural products to flow into the market, and with the help of social attributes, further realize the point-to-point connection between agricultural products and consumers..."
"As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. I think this is also a major factor in targeted poverty alleviation. If we want to eliminate poverty, we must let people have the means to create wealth, rather than just giving them..."
"In addition to Pinxixi's agricultural assistance alliance, we are also trying to use the short video platform Douyin to use the tool of live streaming to bring goods in a more intuitive way, by presenting factors such as agricultural products and their origins to consumers..."
"At present, the novel form of live streaming is indeed effective. Both users and the market are highly receptive to this visible and tangible form..."
"In the future, we will adopt a two-pronged approach to give full play to the synergy effect, strive to bring the convenience of technology to the sinking market, solve more problems of unsalable agricultural products, maximize the tool attributes of mobile Internet, actively respond to policies, and achieve targeted poverty alleviation..."
After a lot of boasting, Zhou Dongsheng finally decided to stop while he was still unsatisfied, and ended with an official tone that was just right.
No matter what you say, even if your level is limited, as long as there are enough facts to support it, this bragging is by no means groundless.
Whether it’s Pinxixi, live streaming, or the charitable causes that Dongsheng Charity Fund has been committed to...
All of these are supported by real achievements, and it is precisely these bases that provide Zhou Dongsheng the basis to make use of the topic.
At the same time, for Zhou Dongsheng, the biggest purpose of this speech, apart from stating his own position, may be... showing his sword.
As the saying goes, a righteous man has many supporters, so you must always give yourself a legitimate reason, so that... it will be possible to realize the possibility that heaven and earth will work together for you.
The two powerful swords of Pinxixi and Douyin short video are combined into a double sword, further binding them into an offensive and defensive alliance that advances and retreats together.
Everything is ready, the next step is to get down to business!
For the guests in the audience, they naturally didn't know that Zhou Dongsheng regarded this as the stage for his declaration.
I just sighed. I didn't expect Zhou Dongsheng to have such thoughts and awareness at such a young age. It seems that his ability to reach his current height may not be without reason...
The young are truly to be feared!
For this reason, everyone naturally did not hesitate to give applause to this well-deserved new generation.
