The Age of Rebirth

Li Weidong's words stunned the people around him.

And the weird smile on Li Weidong's face made them feel that things were not that simple.

I'm afraid they never dreamed that Li Weidong had such an expression, but he simply wanted to take a look at the photos of the so-called dinner in advance, as well as the interpretation of various versions on the Internet, describing the love and hatred of these Internet bosses.

In fact, Li Weidong still has some pride in his heart. No matter who of you is in the C position, you can only be the last one with me!

Just like the current seats, although no one has arranged seats for them, looking at the seats of these people, it is obvious that they are allocated independently according to everyone's status in the world.

For the young Internet industry, being able to go public is a huge threshold. After all, there are not many Internet companies listed in China, especially going public abroad is definitely a phased victory, so the general managers of these listed companies , the status of the rivers and lakes is high.

At present, the three most popular portals in China are the three major portals, so they have a relatively high status in this group. Even Jinshan, which is the earliest entrepreneur, wakes up early, and catches up late, can only bow down.

Zhang Chaoyang used to be called China's Internet No.1. In this group, at least during this period of time, his status is no less than that of a pony horse more than ten years later.

Of course, the current pony horse can only work hard to develop new members in Shencheng. It's not that he doesn't want to come, nor is it because of the distance, but that the company is too small to come.

For him, with the large amount of money invested by Li Weidong in this life, he doesn't have to worry about not having money to rent the server as in his previous life.

So just focus on developing members, don't worry about making money, and as long as there are users, making money is only a matter of time.

Without the worry of a broken capital chain, and without the hard targets for investors to demand profitability, the company's executives focused all their energy on the company's development, and the development was naturally faster.

Li Weidong saw in Tencent's mid-term report that by the end of June this year, in just one and a half years, Tencent's registered users had exceeded 6 million, and the average daily online users exceeded 600 million, and this number is still growing rapidly.

Although Li Weidong didn't know how Tencent was developing at this time in his previous life, he knew it with his feet, and it definitely didn't have the scale it is now.

What made Li Weidong even more unexpected was that he didn't even ask for revenue, but the company still had some revenue.

Moreover, Monternet has already been launched, and wireless value-added services will be launched in a short period of time, which means that the day of BAT is not far away.

But other than Li Weidong, no one else dared to think about it, including BAT themselves.

So at this time, Zhang Chaoyang was still the first among these people, and also the first to answer Li Weidong.

Zhang Chaoyang pondered for a while and said: "What the chairman said is that the Internet has developed to a large scale today, and there is a certain urgency to establish an industry association to carry out industry self-discipline!"

"I think our companies can act as initiators and apply to the relevant departments for the establishment of industry self-discipline associations. This will definitely have a great role in promoting the development of this emerging Internet industry!"…

Several other people present also nodded after hearing this, expressing their agreement!

"That's good. Establish an industry association. There are many people and strength. If there is any problem, there is a way to solve it!"

"Yes, especially at this time, the establishment of the association will definitely bring great encouragement to this industry!"

"Although the Internet industry is a new thing, there are some problems now, but the chairman also said that the Internet will become a new way of life, affecting everyone!"

"No one knows what will happen in the future and how it will affect everyone, especially for some universal issues. It is very necessary to establish an industry association for restraint and self-discipline!"

"Yes, in the future, we will hold a meeting like those forums to communicate with each other about the news in the industry, and we can also promote each other!"

Everyone has different opinions, but without exception, they all support the establishment of industry associations. After all, after the establishment, they will not only be restricted, but also have many obvious benefits.

For example, it can safeguard the common interests of the industry, serve as a bridge between the public and enterprises, and directly communicate the requirements of enterprises to relevant departments.

It has a great say in the formulation of industry standards, industrial policies and related administrative regulations. After all, one manpower is small, but many people are big.

The most important thing is that some information can be shared within the industry association, and industry conferences and symposiums are held to provide a platform for enterprises to cooperate vertically and horizontally.

Since someone is taking the lead, they naturally have no reason to refuse, and it is Li Weidong's proposal, how can they not support it, it is really a display of the major shareholder.

Most of them have returned from abroad, or have some experience abroad, and they know more or less about foreign enterprise management systems.

The understanding of company control is much better than that of some aborigines in China. In modern corporate system management, equity means control, and control is the foundation of a company. Now Li Weidong can control their business.

Hearing these people talking about it, these are out of Li Weidong's vision. He just wants to watch the excitement. As for whether to establish the Internet Society, this is not his concern.

And if this association has his proposal, it will be established, and it won't take too long. We have a tradition of establishing chambers of commerce since ancient times.

There are local ones, such as Huizhou Merchants, Zhejiang Merchants, and Shanxi Merchants have branches almost all over the country.

There are also industries. For the nascent Internet industry, there is no exception. It's just a matter of time.

If a chamber of commerce is established, there must be no problem, after all, this is also a period when major chambers of commerce are prevalent!

Leaving aside, let's just talk about the buildings next to it, and various clubs, which are a form of chamber of commerce, but the threshold for membership is relatively high.

However, if an industry association, especially a national one, is to be established, relying only on a few private enterprises as sponsors, it would be simply whimsical!

Li Weidong shook his head and said: "You alone can't do it. If you want to establish a national industry association, you can't do it without a few influential leaders!"

Li Weidong's words silenced everyone. These words were neither truth nor lies, but the truth, and the truth hurts the most. This is also the current situation in China. …

If it is really like Li Weidong's, he spreads his business all over the world and becomes the world's richest man, earning money from foreigners. There is no way to deal with him in China, so he can naturally become the leader.

However, all of them together do not have the influence of Li Weidong.

A few people watched Li Weidong secretly, guessing in their hearts that the big boss had the idea of ​​being the leader, but felt that this idea was too outrageous.

However, these people are all dragons and phoenixes after all. Not only are they highly educated, but they also have good IQ and EQ. They quickly understood what Li Weidong meant by a leader with weight?
In addition to Li Weidong's financial support, these people also have their own personal connections to be able to get mixed up in this industry. After all, these people were not born as civilians.

"Chairman, we understand what to do!!"

"That's good, unite all forces that can be united. Everyone is familiar with these words. This is the truth. It played a big role decades ago, and it is still useful in society today!"

"But we must distinguish who is our friend, who is our enemy, and who can transform from enemy to friend. We must keep our eyes open!"

Li Weidong sighed, in the emerging industry of the Internet, there are too many such bad things. For some traditional industries, who can distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend, who is walking on the edge of the law, and who People can regard the law as nothing.

"The chairman's lesson is that recently I often read his old man's articles. His language style is concise and concise, which is very inspiring!" Zheng Sijing echoed.

"You should read more when you have time. Don't think it's outdated. It's still very beneficial. Let's not talk about it. You come so early, you have something to say!"

It was still Zhang Chaoyang, and everyone looked at him. Mr. Zhang said in a more relaxed tone: "Chairman, we mainly want to ask you about the future of the Internet!"

"Why, even you doubt it?" Li Weidong looked at Zhang Chaoyang with a half-smile.

"No, no, I am optimistic about the future of the Internet. It is a good thing that the current bubble has burst, but it is just a small twist in the development path!" Zhang Chaoyang said firmly.

Li Weidong smiled and said: "That's it, it's the same as speculating in stocks, knowing that it's a low period, if you still cut the meat, wouldn't you be a fool!"

"But how long is this trough period?" The future Rebs asked with a somewhat distressed expression.

He is the general manager of Kingsoft, and he is fully responsible for the operation of the company. After almost bringing down the company last time, Rebs has always needed a success to prove himself.

As the general manager of the company, if he wants to prove his success, he does not want to make a good product. In fact, the current WPS, Kingsoft PowerWord, and Kingsoft Internet Security are all pretty good.

But these products were destined to succeed when Li Weidong invested a lot of money in Jinshan.

To prove that he is not bad as a general manager, going public seems to be a good choice, and it is also the only way for many IT companies to go.

As a company that has been established for more than ten years, if it has not been listed, it seems to be a failure to a certain extent. …

In fact, it was not too early for Kingsoft to start planning to go public. The main reason is that although they have a certain status in the software industry, their scale is still too small.

With their scale at this time, they can barely meet the minimum requirements of the GEM established in Hong Kong Island. However, due to the impact of the Southeast Asian financial crisis in the past few years, listing on Hong Kong Island does not seem to be a very good plan.

So their plan to go public has been delayed again and again. At the beginning of this year, Jinshan turned to the domestic plan to launch the GEM listing, and even did a lot of necessary and non-essential work for this.

But bad luck, the Internet bubble burst with the Nasdaq stock market crash, and now there is great skepticism in China about whether the ChiNext can be launched as planned.

Moreover, a considerable number of people, and even some people in the system, have started to complain on many occasions that the domestic financing market should follow the US technology stock bubble as a precedent.

The meaning in the words is obvious, some conservatives have begun to exert their strength, and we still learn from the experience of others' failures!
So now it seems that it is impossible for Jinshan to go public in a short period of time, which means that their IPO road still has a long way to go.

Li Weidong looked at Rebs who was a little anxious. He didn't have the calmness and confidence of the later Xiaomi press conference. It seems that anyone's success needs tempering.

Li Weidong smiled slightly, and said: "The future is bright, but the road is tortuous. Don't worry, what should come will come naturally!"

"But..." Before Rebs could finish his sentence, he was held back by Chairman Qiu Dong who was sitting next to him.

"What the chairman said is that since we know the future is bright, we will bury our heads in our own affairs and wait for the dawn!" Qiu Dong said.

As the company's second shareholder and also the company's chairman, he was more anxious than Rebs about the company's delay in going public.

At the time of the company's crisis, Jingwei Investment injected capital into Jinshan, bought a part of the company's shares by the way, and became the company's largest shareholder, and it was also the controlling shareholder.

Although it gave Jinshan a reprieve and Chairman Qiu no longer sleepless nights for cash flow, since then, he has escaped from the bitterness of running a business, and he has suggestions for Jingwei investment. Mr. Lei took advantage of the situation Became CEO.

With the support of the largest shareholder with absolute control, although Rebs has always respected him as the chairman in his work since then, he also knows that what he has said in the company does not count.

Therefore, he also wants the company to go public as soon as possible, so that the stocks in his hands can become valuable things. If one day he is unhappy, he can cash out and leave.

"Lao Qiu's words are very reasonable. You just need to concentrate on your work and make the company's products well, refined, and competitive. It doesn't matter if it's winter or spring!" Zheng Sijing echoed beside him.

Although he is not the general manager of the Internet business department, some companies are not under his management, but some companies that are still in the early stage of entrepreneurship and still belong to the management of the investment department are still under his jurisdiction.

And these people did tell him before they came, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed here as soon as he got off the plane.

In his opinion, these people's worries are superfluous. First, the company is not short of money and has sufficient cash flow; second, as an investor in the company, Li Weidong neither asked them to go public nor asked them to make a profit. There is not even a time to quit, just follow the established path.

The capital side didn't ask for it, so why are you coolies so anxious?
Li Weidong nodded, Zheng Sijing still knew him better, and it saved him a lot of things.

"Speaking of products, I made the WPS for you, and I have a little suggestion, please listen and see if it can be realized!" Li Weidong said.

"Say it!" Mr. Lei and Mr. Qiu took out their notebooks and started recording.

"I see that the mailboxes they launched have free space with different capacities. Can your WPS also create such a free space, allowing users to put files in it, without having to carry storage devices with them, and they can be stored on any computer? Open?"
