Chapter 814 Internationalization of Social Networking Sites
Wu Tao's words are like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.
Originally, this gathering of high-end IT upstarts was a gathering of people in the industry, enjoying each other's compliments, and forming a good impression of each other. This is the circle.
Of course, Ding Lei played a great leading role here.
So Wu Tao's words brought him along.
Seeing that everyone's faces were ugly, Cai Wenxiu, who had been waiting for an opportunity, couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. The gloating look on Xiaobai's face became more and more intense: Huh, you actually offended all your colleagues in the industry. Let's see how you will mess around in the future? !
The scene was silent, and many people felt that Wu Tao's words were a bit serious, even particularly radical.
But seeing Wu Tao's attitude of being so respected by Netease CEO Ding Lei, he didn't dare to take the lead easily.
But Liu Chuanzhi had no such scruples.
In addition to the previous confrontation with Wu Tao because of Ni Guangnan's matter, he immediately rushed out to object: "Mr. Wu's words, forgive me for not agreeing."
"...At least in the past few years, Lenovo has carried out sufficient innovation and localization on the basis of introducing foreign technology, which has gradually replaced foreign brands and occupied the domestic computer wholesale and retail market."
"...In this regard, Lenovo's performance has begun to surpass some foreign counterparts. And I think it is not impossible to completely surpass all foreign counterparts and become the dominant player in the domestic PC market in the near future."
When Liu Chuanzhi said these words, he was impassioned and passionate.
However, after Wu Tao listened, he just asked in a flat tone: "It's only limited to the domestic PC market, isn't it?"
The implication is, if you have the ability, go out of the country and try it out?
One sentence immediately discounted Liu Chuanzhi's pride.
Wu Tao continued: "With the acceleration of China's accession to the WTO, we will gradually integrate with the international economy. The future trend of the international economy is global integration. As a new generation of IT companies, if they are only limited to the domestic market, Then it is a pity that we have already lost before we started.”
"...even some companies and their leaders, watching the company's performance increase year by year, feel that their company is already a high-tech and modern enterprise, completely ignoring the shortcomings and deficiencies in core technology .”
These remarks can be said to be specifically aimed at Lenovo, and they can also be regarded as speaking to Liu Chuanzhi on behalf of Ni Guangnan.
With Liu Chuanzhi's temperament, how could he bear such open and indirect sarcasm, and immediately jumped out to lead the disaster: "Mr. Wu's words are too arbitrary and one-sided. When it comes to entering the international market, Mr. Ding from NetEase quickly It’s going to be listed on Nasdaq. At that time, the money earned will be the money of American stockholders, isn’t this a kind of going out?”
Wu Tao laughed immediately, "Mr. Liu thinks, is the money of American stockholders so easy to get? If so, why not bring all the junk stocks in the domestic market to the American market to collect money?"
"...In the final analysis, the American market only chooses those blue-chip stocks with superior performance and great potential in the Chinese market. In the future, when we make money, we will bring the American people to share the money and profits. Are you sure this is an entry into the international market?"
"...In other words, what is the market share of NetEase's current business in the overseas market?"
Ding Lei smiled wryly and shook his head, "Almost zero."
At this moment, Cai Wenxiu jumped out and asked, "Then, as one of the people in the IT industry, how do you do it yourself?"
After saying this, Cai Wenxiu expressed her satisfaction.
He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, hoping that Wu Tao would offend the others severely, and then he would kill with one blow.
After all, if you haven't done it yourself, what right do you have to speak nonsense here?
However, in Wu Tao's view, these words are really a divine assist.
So in the next second, Wu Tao scanned the audience and smiled confidently: "My team and I have established two companies, Tianxing Game Company and Tianjing Internet Technology."
"...Tianxing Game Company has taken the international route since its establishment. At present, the first game has been launched simultaneously in the foreign market and the domestic market, and the profit of the foreign market can only be ahead of the domestic market."
"...As for Tianjing Internet Technology, it mainly focuses on the Internet social field. It is initially launched in China, but the technology research and development is in Silicon Valley, and our next plan is to promote this model to the global market."
People at the party may not have heard of Tianjing Company, but they are all familiar with Tianxing Game Company.
At present, posters of the Counter-Strike game are posted in all Internet cafes in China.
Moreover, PC games have become a mainstream business that supports many Internet cafes for a long time and high attendance rate.
In other words, more than half of the consumers who enter Internet cafes are for playing games.
Such a strong statement is really convincing.
So there were no objections at the scene, and everyone began to re-examine Wu Tao's harsh and radical words just now.
As for the provocative Cai Wenxiu, when she saw this question, it made Wu Tao's image better. Xiaobai's face turned white and red, and his teeth itched with anger.
Wu Tao finished his speech and stepped off the stage.
Ding Lei was the first to go up to him and said, "Boss, listening to what you say is better than studying for ten years. I am very inspired!"
"Okay," Wu Tao had nothing to say about Lao Ding's notification, "as long as you don't hold grudges against me for taking you under the knife."
Ding Lei waved his hands again and again, "No, absolutely not. Otherwise, Zixia and Yond will not spray me to death!"
Immediately afterwards, the slim Jiang Yuting came up to him and said, "Mr. Wu is indeed a genius. On behalf of Founder of Peking University, I am solemnly inviting Mr. Wu to give lectures in our company."
Wu Tao repeatedly waved his hands and said, "Ms. Jiang, you are flattering me. It's just some trivial opinions, nothing to say. But I look forward to cooperating with technology-based companies like Peking University Founder in the future."
Seeing that everyone was getting close to Wu Tao one after another, Liu Chuanzhi suddenly felt that he was out of place, and turned to leave.
Leaving the Capital Hotel, Wu Tao's mind started to work as soon as he got into the car.
The previous speech, at the end, talked about the international promotion of social networking sites such as Xiaonei.
At present, Xiaonei.com is growing rapidly in China, which has proved the feasibility of this product model and the strong potential of interactive social networking.
If this model can be rapidly extended to developed countries with a more mature Internet market, I believe it will be able to occupy the market faster and create benefits.
It is only promoted in the international market, and it is different from the application in the domestic market.
Not only does the product form need to be changed accordingly, but even the company's capital background must be properly planned.
After all, Wu Tao's goal is not to make small troubles, but to become a giant in the field of Internet social networking.
Like facebook, twitter etc.
If it is supported by a purely Chinese-funded background, it is conceivable that the political and systemic risks in the future will not be small.
It seems that this matter needs to be carefully considered.
