In the meeting room, dozens of pairs of eyes focused on Jiang Chen again. Sensing the arrogance in Li Yanhong's eyes, Jiang Chen immediately understood what he was thinking.
The meeting room was not just filled with industry insiders and officials drinking tea. There were reporters standing nearby with cameras on their shoulders, waiting for him to speak. If there is stage fright at this time, Futureman Technology will undoubtedly fall into the hands of Baidu Company.
As the chairman of Futureman Group, Jiang Chen would certainly not let such a thing happen. Although he had not prepared any manuscript about the future of the Internet, he thought for a moment and stood up with a smile.
Because he didn't know what appropriate opening remarks to use, Jiang Chen cleared his throat first and organized the words in his mind.
Hearing two soft coughs, not only the Internet company CEOs who couldn't be named, but also the two CEOs Ma took out their notebooks.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen couldn't help but think in his heart with shame.
As for that? I just coughed twice.
"Then, since Mr. Li invites you, I won't refuse."
"I'll just talk about the future of the Internet." After a pause, Jiang Chen raised a finger, "Innovation."
The sound of jotting down notes sounded, making Jiang Chen feel a little proud and a little ashamed. What makes him proud is that these Internet giants, who were originally unattainable, are now listening to his opinions like students with their heads buried. What is shameful is that the insights he is going to talk about next are just random things he made up on the spot.
"Since then, the penetration of Internet technology into our lives has penetrated deeply into various fields. On the surface, this is the evolution of social behavior, but in the final analysis, their birth is attributed to innovation. And what is the driving force for innovation?"
After glancing around at the Internet tycoons present, and seeing the concentration on their faces, Jiang Chen couldn't help but curve his lips. He raised his second finger.
"It's technology.
"
"The launch of any new technology means the birth of a new market. For example, Futureman 1.0's technology to improve hardware operating efficiency has spawned a large number of apps and mobile games with high configuration requirements. For example, virtual reality technology. It is about to open The door to the virtual world. Here, I am not showing off the technology of Future Human Technology. Rather, I am elaborating on this fact. It is undeniable that other factors are important to a company. But what I want to say is that what determines Future Human Technology Even the current market position of the entire Future People Group is neither marketing methods nor business relationships, but technology... "
Originally, Jiang Chen just planned to say a few words casually, but as soon as the conversation started, more than ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. I didn’t talk about any difficult truths, I just talked about why Future People Technology can grow from a small company with an initial capital of less than 500,000 yuan. Within a year and a half, it developed into a money-printing machine that Wall Street wildly valued at hundreds of billions of dollars.
Maybe it's because Jiang Chen's words really inspired the audience in some aspects, or maybe it's because human beings are not inherently immune to success learning.
All in all, the audience here was mesmerized by what they heard.
When his speech ended, the meeting room immediately burst into warm applause!
Jiang Chen sat down and looked at Li Yanhong with a smile. However, what surprised Jiang Chen was that he did not see a look of disappointment on the face of the white boss, but instead saw a...successful smile
The applause gradually stopped, and Li Yanhong stood up again and looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.
"Excellent speech. I personally agree with your point of view." After a pause, Mr. Li looked at the media outside the meeting room and continued to show his facial makeup-like smile. Said, "Technology is the step of human progress. Because of technology, our tomorrow will be better. As the chairman of an Internet company, I believe that the spirit of the Internet is sharing. So Mr. Jiang Chen, are you willing to become an Internet power for your motherland? , adhering to the selflessness of sharing and common progress, will you disclose your company's virtual reality technology to Chinese companies?"
The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became subtle.
Pan Feng, the Minister of Economic and Trade, looked at Li Yanhong with some surprise, while the Internet company representatives and reporters present looked at Jiang Chen expectantly.
Ma Huateng glanced at Jiang Chen and Li Yanhong casually. Silent. He couldn't understand what Baidu meant by playing such a trick.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Jiang Chen slowly opened his mouth.
"Excuse me. Does Mr. Li call the act of generosity to others sharing?"
Li Yanhong was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect why Jiang Chen suddenly said this, but he quickly reflected on it and responded with a smile, "Of course not, you misunderstood what I meant. What I mean is that you can register a patent. Exchange disclosure for technology protection and charge patent fees to companies that use the technology. This not only guarantees the interests of your company, but also makes it easier for Chinese Internet companies to enter the virtual reality market fairly. Why wouldn't you do it? Woolen cloth?"
As soon as these two words were said, two hats were firmly placed on Jiang Chen's head. One is generous, the other is patriotic. If you refuse, it will be equivalent to knocking these two hats over. Obviously the two have nothing to do with each other, but they are connected together by non-existent logic. This is similar to the popular sayings on the Internet: "You are so rich, why don't you donate?" and "xxxx, if you don't convert, you are not a Chinese." These two sentences have the same purpose.
You have world-leading technology, why don’t you share it with us
"I reject."
Li Yanhong was stunned, the Internet entrepreneurs sitting there were also stunned, and the reporters next to him were also stunned. Although they themselves did not quite believe that Jiang Chen would hand over his technology for just two or three sentences, they did not expect that Jiang Chen would reject it so simply that he would not use any modifiers to tactfully cover it up.
"You are a monopoly, using your market dominance to hinder technological progress. Are you sure you want to do this?" Li Yanhong said.
Hearing his words, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed.
"Monopoly? Abuse of market dominance? Is this really okay for you to say? Mr. Li.
"
"Why can't I say it?" A flash of anger flashed in Li Yanhong's eyes, but his expression remained as usual, "Don't you do something wrong and let others-"
"Buying and selling posts, selling search rankings, false medical advertisements, and infringing on copyright without restraint. Because a certain webmaster made one or two accusations on his scarf and directly blocked other people's websites in the search terms... What you are doing is maintaining Market order? Haha, let's not talk about anything else. Please tell me, Mr. Li. Do you dare to do the same thing in your own country? Mr. Li with a green card. Do you dare to answer my question?"
Looking directly into Li Yanhong's eyes, Jiang Chen spoke word by word.
The scandal was suddenly brought to the fore, and Li Yanhong, who had been doing well before, suddenly showed a embarrassed expression.
"This is slander. Please be careful with your words in public. If there is an error in the report, you will be responsible!"
"Then, please refute the facts I presented one by one." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"There is no need to refute! All our company's actions are legitimate and legal, and we have not been involved in any big lawsuits so far. This has been proven!" Li Yanhong took care of the green card issue in one go. He has been very careful to hide this matter. Although it is not a secret in the industry, it will have a bad impact if it is brought to the table.
Jiang Chen suddenly laughed again, this time his smile was much more cheerful than last time.
"You, what are you laughing at!" Li Yanhong blushed and said embarrassedly.
"This involves another joke, but it's inconvenient to tell, so I won't say more." Jiang Chen smiled and nodded at Pan Feng. The latter moved his eyes away, and the former moved his eyes back to Li Yanhong. "Futureman Technology's technology is all independently developed by the company, and its technology is reasonable and legal as a company secret. As for the monopoly you mentioned, I would like to ask. What is the definition of monopoly? Does your whiteness count as a monopoly?"
"What is the definition of monopoly? Haha, Mr. Jiang's business is so big, he still needs to learn more about the law. The definition of monopoly naturally depends on market share. As for us, of course we are not a monopoly, and I am not the only one with search engines. I Of course you can do it if you are doing it. I have not used my market position to prohibit anyone from doing it. We just relied on strong user stickiness and users' trust in us to achieve today's market position." Li quibbled road.
"Then I have the market position to use future people's technology to prohibit you from designing, researching, and selling your own virtual reality products?" Jiang Chen asked with interest. Crossing his fingers on his knees, he said, "I know that you have begun to control domestic VR companies. You are preparing to cross-border hardware and content at the same time, and launch your own VR products while implementing a pan-entertainment strategy. I know all this. But you can't do it because your skills are inferior to others. , just unilaterally accuse us of forming a monopoly and interfering with the market? You rely on sticky stickiness, and we rely on technology and user experience. Can you claim that you are more noble?"
"You!" Li Yanhong blushed and was speechless for a moment, unable to say anything to refute.
"Monopoly, large multinational companies around the world are more or less involved in monopoly. Some have formed monopolies through advanced technology, some have formed monopolies through the business philosophy of 'the customer is God', and some have formed monopolies. Relying on their own irreplaceable characteristics. But no matter what, they are monopolies formed under market competition. Let’s not talk about me here, let’s talk about you. Mr. Li, if you touch your own conscience, do you dare to say Is it a monopoly formed under market competition? Is the monopoly of Baidu Company a benign thing for this market? "
Li Yanhong's face turned the color of pig liver, and Jiang Chen's words left him speechless. Just now, Mr. Ma was planning to help, but he glanced at the media next to him and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Pan Feng, who was sitting in the chief position, couldn't stand it anymore and coughed slightly in embarrassment.
"You two, please sit down. We are here to seek cooperation, not differences. Baidu hopes that Futureman Technology will provide virtual reality technology, which is understandable from his standpoint. Futureman Technology There is nothing wrong with rejecting the Baidu Company's proposal. I hope that your next conversation can be conducted in a friendly atmosphere, and the media will not make derivative reports on this." Pan Feng glanced meaningfully at the media reporters present. Without saying much, he withdrew his gaze.
Being disturbed by the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Ma Huateng stood up, coughed, and prepared to play the role of peacemaker, "Then, the talks will continue—"
"I'll just say one thing about cooperation in virtual reality projects." Jiang Chen stood up, interrupted Mr. Ma's words, and faced Li Yanhong, who was ashen-faced, with a calm expression, "Collaborators are welcome, and those who make unreasonable troubles should be left alone. "
After saying that, Jiang Chen walked away without caring about the dumbfounded bosses of the Big Three and the media reporters present. (.)
