Shenhao started as a military training anchor

Zhang Li, the founder of Easy Travel, understands what Holly means.

Letting him hold shares and participate in the operation of Yisu Travel as a partner is a comfort to him as the founder.

It means the same thing as Honorary CEO.

Complete loss of control and decision-making power of the company.

In the end, he still had to sell Yisu Travel.

No entrepreneur doesn’t want to see his product go further and further, or even move toward the ultimate goal of IPO, creating his own business legend.

The same goes for Zhang Li.

But in this situation, he might not be able to hold on until that day.

Even the city of Jiangcheng cannot be left.

Taking the risk and rushing into Holly's office today was also an impulsive decision he made after being rejected by multiple investors.

He was eager to get Holly's investment and revitalize Yisu Travel, but Holly forced him to a dead end as soon as he opened his mouth.

It is also the only way to survive.

"Mr. Huo, please let me think about it again." Zhang Li said.

Holly nodded: "You have a week to think about it."

"Thank you, Mr. Huo." Zhang Li left Holly's office in disgrace.

He really did not have the ability or funds to perform major surgery on Yi Su.

If you sell it, you can get a sum of money and enjoy the dividends from the founding shareholders.

Originally he wanted to gain both fame and fortune, but now only the profit is in front of him, and it depends on whether he is willing to compromise.

Holding the coffee cup, Holly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the bustling cityscape, and smiled.

The trend of online ride-hailing is now ready to take off for the third time.

Will there be a repeat of the tens of billions of money-burning wars of the past? It depends on how he comes to fight?

With Baidu re-entering the market and Huawei entering the market, the current online ride-hailing market is destined to be completely different from what it was back then.

In addition to grabbing Didi's existing market, Holly also needs to work hard in the two technical fields of intelligent connected cars and autonomous driving.

Baidu and Huawei are currently the dominant players in these two fields.

Baidu has launched LuoPaopao’s driverless online ride-hailing business in many cities, which is the future market trend.

Huawei's intelligent network connection determines two key factors in the upstream of the online ride-hailing market, changes in vehicles and technology.

This battle is not the kind of battle that burned money and won the country.

If you don't catch the wind, the price of tickets for latecomers will be higher and higher.

This is the Internet market.

Right now, Holly’s biggest rival is Didi Chuxing.

On Wednesday, Holly flew to Hangzhou on a private plane and took the organizer's vehicle to Wuzhen to attend the Wuzhen Internet Conference.

The Wuzhen World Internet Conference is less fun without the participation of several domestic giants at the helm.

But the country still attaches great importance to it.

Every session, the big leaders will give speeches.

Internet practitioners, members of social organizations, and relevant leaders from many countries and regions around the world will gather here.

Holly was invited to participate for the first time, mainly to learn and expand her network.

The organizer arranged an investment branch forum for him, mainly to talk about investment with investors.

To be honest, the organizer respects him and gives him some face. How many people can be in the branch venue?

The main venue is the focus of media attention and the place where business opportunities may arise.

However, as a newbie in this circle, Holly still has a very upright attitude, patiently sharing his investment experience and insights, and accepting interviews and questions from some media reporters.

Sit down and discuss with department leaders during your free time.

The most important thing about this trip is to attend the Wuzhen dinner hosted by NetEase President Ding Lei.

Since the launch of the Wuzhen Internet Conference, the Wuzhen dinner party has begun.

Ding Lei hosted the dinner.

He also regards Wuzhen as his home. He comes back to host dinner every year just to visit his home.

The heads of Baidu, Alibaba, JD.com, Sohu, NetEase, 360, Didi and other companies all appeared at the Wuzhen dinner.

Xiaoyaozi Zhang Yong has just stepped down as CEO, and Wu Yongming took over, representing Cai Chongxin and Jack Ma. His appearance at this year's Wuzhen Internet Conference means that Alibaba is going to make big moves and return to the public eye.

JD.com's Liu Qiangdong and his good brother Xu Lei did not come. This time, the newly appointed CEO Xu Ran came to attend the Wuzhen Internet Conference, and he was also brewing big moves.

Pinduoduo, which has not participated for a long time, has also returned to the Internet Conference. The rest of the group remained basically unchanged.

Some changes in the Internet industry can be seen from the companies and people participating in Wuzhen Internet every year.

Obviously, the biggest shock in the Internet market next year will be the e-commerce industry.

Therefore, Holly will not touch the e-commerce sector for the time being.

If you touch it, it will bleed.

Holly came to the restaurant with two friends, Zhang Chaoyang and Zhou Hongyi.

It's upstairs in a small restaurant by the Wuzhen River.

The chef and dishes were all brought by Ding Lei, but they were just borrowed from the restaurant owner.

Ding Lei greeted me warmly at the door as he did every year in the past.

"Mr. Ding, we are here to enjoy the meal again." Zhou Hongyi said bluntly.

That's the kind of character he has.

Don’t hide anything when you speak.

"How many years have we known each other, Lao Zhou? You still say these kind words to me." Ding Lei welcomed him warmly and turned to Holly, "Mr. Huo, right? Nice to meet you."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "We have a new friend at the dinner this year, Mr. Huo."

At the same time that Holly received the invitation from Wuzhen Internet, he also received an invitation from Ding Lei to the dinner party.

Ding Lei had heard about him.

It’s just that it hasn’t made much of a splash in the Internet industry yet.

But the waves he made in the entertainment industry were enough for Ding Lei to pay attention.

In one year, he created a media giant with a valuation of nearly 30 billion. Now the entire entertainment industry will respect Holly when he hears his name.

Holly invested in Xing Community and supported Xing Community to complete two rounds of AB financing, posing a huge threat to Weibo. With such a menacing approach, his ambitions are definitely not limited to social media.

This young man may be a friend or a rival in the future.

But if you come over for dinner today, you are his friend.

Holly smiled and shook hands with Ding Lei: "Mr. Ding, nice to meet you. Thank you for your warm invitation."

"Mr. Huo, you're welcome. They are all sitting inside. You, Lao Zhou and Lao Zhang go in first, and I will wait for my two old friends." Ding Lei said enthusiastically.

"Okay, Mr. Ding, see you later." Holly followed Zhang Chaoyang and Zhou Hongyi upstairs first.

"Mr. Ding is a warm-hearted person and very low-key in private. We have known each other for so many years, and a shopping mall is a shopping mall. We still have a very good relationship in private." Zhou Hongyi said.

A person who can be praised so highly by the uncle in red cannot be that bad of a person.

The three of them went upstairs, and the guests who had already sat down stood up to greet them.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhou." iQiyi CEO Gong Yu came up and called, "Mr. Huo, we meet again."

"Long time no see, Mr. Gong." Holly smiled and shook hands with him.

Xu Ran, the new retail CEO of JD.com, walked up to him, stretched out his hand towards Holly with a smile, and called, "Mr. Huo, I've seen you for a long time."

Holly and Xu Ran have never met, but Liu Qiangdong and Xu Lei are now acquaintances and even friends with Holly.

Xu Ran knew that JD.com's ability to catch up on the live broadcast e-commerce track was inseparable from the help of Holly, who is also a young entrepreneur Liu Qiangdong admires very much.

When I saw you today, I naturally wanted to take the initiative to say hello.

"Mr. Xu, nice to meet you for the first time." Holly said politely.

It was my first time to attend a Wuzhen dinner party, and half of the people present had already interacted with Holly.

Wu Yongming of Alibaba and Chen Lei, CEO of Pinduoduo, also came up to shake hands with Holly.

Meet this young entrepreneurial leader.

Holly shook hands with everyone and then took a seat.

Ding Lei finally took the two of them upstairs.

One is Robin Li, the chairman of Baidu, and the other is Cheng Wei, the chairman of Didi Chuxing, Holly’s next rival.

The two major groups of JD.com and Alibaba reunited in Wuzhen after the coaching change.

Pinduoduo’s market value has surpassed that of Alibaba, becoming the leading e-commerce company. CEO Chen Lei sat at the dinner party again today.

When Holly attended a dinner party for the first time, he met Cheng Wei, his opponent in the online ride-hailing market.

This year’s Wuzhen dinner is a bit interesting.
