Chapter 407 Makes Spending Money Easier

Thousands of business elites in the guest seats and political dignitaries in the front rows were all watching the people on the stage bickering with interest.

I would laugh from time to time and found it very interesting.

From Mr. Lei Jun vs. Ms. Dong, then to Mr. Wang vs. Jack Ma, and now it’s the principal vs. Jack Ma.

Jack Ma is a very eloquent person. He can always fool you and criticize you indirectly. Mr. Wang has never gotten the upper hand from him.

Liu Tianxian was standing far away in the guest seats, watching her man being harassed by Jack Ma on the stage. She was concentrating and was afraid that he would not be able to gain any advantage.

Everyone knows how powerful Jack Ma is, and how eloquent he is.

"This guy's words are full of sharp edges and he never gives in even when he is right. My husband is also embarrassed by him. Just because he and Sister Dong have a cooperative relationship, he targets us." Zhang Tong saw that Liu Tianxian had a serious expression on her face, so she leaned forward and complained to her. After all, they were in the same camp now.

From the outside, this person looks like a good wife and mother.

The two of them were two seats apart, so Liu Tianxian had to listen carefully. After listening, she said softly, "We are doing fine here, and we are not fighting with others. It's sad that you suddenly called my man up."

"It's because they were fighting before and they wanted to watch a show. There has to be some show effects." Zhang Tong said.

She felt a bit fond of this girl who spoke softly and gently.

The two families were talking quietly in the guest seats, but they also noticed that the two sides on the stage were still bickering.

Jack Ma talked about everything from ancient times to the present, and Fang Hong said, "Old people often say that old people are cunning and old horses are slippery. It's true. Mr. Ma is just confusing people and educating others with his own cognition. He used to be a teacher, so it's normal for him to have this problem."

"Hahaha!" There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

The first thing he did was to criticize Jack Ma and scold him first.

Lei Jun had a smile on his face, while Sister Dong had a gloomy face.

"If this is your mindset and your way of doing things, then I don't think I have anything to talk to you about." Jack Ma looked a little unhappy.

What he meant was that Fang Hong's vision and level were too low. He could curse anyone he wanted without any substance, but he put himself in a high position.

Mr. Wang also smiled and said, "Little brother, don't criticize as soon as you open your mouth. Say something real to refute it, otherwise no one will be convinced."

What it means is that if you just curse without saying anything else, people will think that you only know how to curse, that you have no real talent or ideas of your own, and that you are a fool.

"Then I'll say this, if information transparency can predict crises and opponents, then according to what Mr. Ma said, WeChat is also very transparent, so why didn't Alibaba kill WeChat? Android is also open source and very transparent, so why didn't they copy Android and kill it?"

Fang Hong first refuted that information data is not omnipotent, and then said: "Too superstitious about information data is originally a manifestation of lack of warmth, because you only know how to look at the data, and don't know whether people are really as shown in the data.

Numbers are cold and lack human emotions and warmth. However, this society is a huge ecological society and not everything can be expressed in terms of information and data.

For example, if your salary is the same as mine, am I really average? No, I am still poor and you are still rich.

Maybe Ali has achieved some success now because it has made things convenient for people and given them trust, but I think it will reach a peak in the years ahead and then fall because Ali will gradually lose its warmth and will not look down on people. "

This means that Alibaba is becoming indifferent. A company that only looks at data will not look down at people's real needs and will lose its warmth.

This is similar to what Jack Ma said just now, that Xiaomi may have had a comfortable time in the past two years, but will encounter difficulties in the next two years.

I have said some true things. You mentioned data, but let me tell you about human nature. People’s true emotions cannot be expressed by data.

It also expresses that Alibaba is not an ecological company.

“The principal’s perspective is quite novel and has something to it. In the past, Alibaba solved people’s trust issues and had warmth, but the future Alibaba has lost its warmth.

What I want to say is that Alibaba will be warmer in the future. Alibaba aims to make people more convenient. It not only makes people’s food, clothing and daily necessities simpler, but also makes their lives simpler. This is what Alibaba will do in the future.

Instead of being like Chang'e Technology, which only focuses on content and thinks about what this person likes to watch and what that person likes to watch, I wonder what can be done with it? People just watch it and forget about it. It's useless and they don't know what they are doing."

Jack Ma spoke with contempt in one breath, without even thinking, and his response was very smooth.

At the same time, it caused laughter from the audience.

This means that Alibaba is at a much higher level than Chang'e. You study what people like to watch every day, but they solve the problems faced by mankind.

Always put yourself in a relatively high position.

Fang Hong couldn't quite convince him. You said they had no ecosystem, but they have indeed solved many problems that people encounter in life. This is ecosystem.

For example, Alipay makes it easier to borrow money and pay bills, which is why Alibaba has risen.

Of course, there are also sequelae, which is to make people over-consume, and the future internal circulation is also related to Alipay.

Because he released too much money, those who had no self-control overdrew their future in advance, which led to people having to pay off their debts and cut consumption. Of course, this is all in the future, so I can't say more now.

“I didn’t hear anything particularly constructive from Mr. Ma. All I heard was one sentence: Make spending money easy.”

Fang Hong emphasized the last few words, and then he changed the subject: "Mr. Ma always thinks that he is doing things, as if others are not doing anything. Is it useless to solve people's spiritual needs? Do you want people to only know how to work and make money, and then spend money, and not enjoy themselves? What's the difference between that and a machine?
So after all, Mr. Ma still lacks warmth.”

He said again: "Today, there are all kinds of problems in our society that need to be solved. I agree with Mr. Lei's point of view. We should only focus on doing one or two things well. No matter how big or small it is, we should focus on doing it well as long as it is helpful to this society."

The first part of his words was a bit dangerous, as it pushed Jack Ma to the opposite side of people. He wanted to turn "people" into tools that only know how to make money and then consume.

Alibaba is the middleman, the capitalist, and Fang Hong always emphasizes that Jack Ma is the capitalist without warmth.

The following words were to take himself out of the picture and compliment Lei Jun, saying that as long as something can contribute to society, it is meaningful, no matter how big or small.

If Jack Ma's answer is not good, it will be a stain!
Everyone present couldn't help but look at him to see how he would answer. This hat was a bit too big.

This put Jack Ma under some pressure. Although he thought so, he could not admit it.

Now his mind is very clear, and he said: "Making spending money easier is what I am doing, and I am very happy to do it. As a platform, a completely unfamiliar platform, we allow users to deposit their money here and we keep it for them. This is the trust that users have in us, and I am very grateful for their trust.

But whether to spend money or how to spend it is up to the user to decide, and we have no right to interfere. We just let users know that we can guarantee the safety of their property.”

This was a self-defense, not very aggressive, and had a bit of a dying down meaning. If he continued chatting like this, he wouldn't be able to bear it if the principal found a loophole and put accusations on him.

Alibaba is still in its growth stage and has not yet reached the giant form it will reach in the next few years.

Alibaba is launching a giant IPO that will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange next year, becoming the world's largest IPO, with its listing value soaring to US$8600 billion, an absolute peak.

Later, there were no longer two companies with a market value of 500 billion US dollars.

At that time, Jack Ma was truly inflated. He gave speeches everywhere every year to show off, and made all kinds of remarks.

It's still quite restrained now, not so inflated.

“But I remind you, whether you are a person or an entrepreneur, you must be modest. Don’t think you are great just because you have achieved something. But you are still young and I don’t blame you. You have a long way to go. Life is full of ups and downs, not smooth sailing.” Jack Ma was still unwilling to give in and wanted to confront him.

What it means is that Fang Hong doesn't know how to be humble. He becomes complacent after achieving some success. You will have to suffer the consequences later.

"I have always felt that the reason I am still alive and well today is not because of me, but because of the support from my peers."

When Fang Hong said this, the audience burst into warm applause and laughter.

This is a good counterattack. It means that all his competitors are idiots. It's not that his principal is so smart, but that you are too stupid and not strong enough. He is scolding all his competitors.

Mr. Wang in the audience had an ugly look on his face, meaning that he was the idiot and the principal bullied him the most severely.

Liu Tianxian clapped her hands vigorously, her face slightly red.

On the stage, Lei Jun laughed like a child, as if the anger he had just suffered was finally vented; Dong Dajie had a black face, and her face was always black.

Mr. Wang patted Fang Hong on the shoulder with satisfaction, expressing his encouragement that finally someone could cure Jack Ma.

He was left speechless several times by Jack Ma.

In fact, the conflict between the two was limited to the film and television industry. There was no conflict in other areas. Fang Hong was not involved in real estate, so it had no impact on other people's core business.

Fang Hong was a little afraid of Lao Wang. That was because he was weak in the past and had no cinemas, so he felt uncomfortable when Lao Wang blocked his way.

But as his business grows bigger and the Internet and Tupiaopiao rise, his dependence on traditional theaters will be much smaller.

There is nothing else to say. If the movie is not popular, it is your loss. The water, electricity and labor costs of your store are all expenses. Cinemas are heavy assets. Yutu can make up for the loss from other cinema channels or from online broadcasting copyrights based on its popularity.

There is an impact, but it is not serious.

At this stage, Alibaba’s business does not conflict much with Fang Hong. Alibaba’s main business is still e-commerce. When it really wants to enter the entertainment industry, Yutu and Chang'e are also expanding.

At that time, regardless of whether Alibaba would cause trouble for him, Tencent would also cause trouble for him because it had begun to touch upon the core interests of all parties.

The bigger the Jade Rabbit and Chang'e are, the more intense the competition becomes.

"You are so humble, but you always look proud." Jack Ma didn't say anything to him. There was no need to continue. Talking to such a person would lower his own status for no reason.

It also pulls the other person to the same level as yourself for no reason, which is not worth it at all.
