Li Mu lost three games to Zhao Xianliang in just twenty minutes.
It may be that Li Mu's level is too low, or it may be that Zhao Xianliang's chess moves are too powerful. In short, Li Mu is no match for him. Zhao Xianliang sees far into every move he makes, and the strategic planning contained in it is also Li Mu's fundamental. He couldn't see through it, so Zhao Xianliang made three small moves and five big moves, killing Li Mu until he was unable to deal with it.
After losing three games in a row, Li Mu praised while playing chess: "Uncle Zhao's chess skills are infinitely better than mine. I am no match for you at this level."
Zhao Xianliang laughed and asked Li Mu: "Think about it carefully, do you often give your opponents this feeling in business?"
Li Mu said very humbly: "How could I not have the foresight and foresight of Uncle Zhao? The reason why we are in today's situation is probably due to luck and opportunity."
Zhao Xianliang said with a smile: "You don't have to be so modest when we are chatting. I had dinner with Minister Chen yesterday, and even he praised you very much, saying that you are the most impressive person he has ever seen." The young man is also the one with the brightest future. Even he gives you such a high evaluation, which proves that the outside world still highly recognizes your abilities."
Li Mu asked curiously: "Uncle Zhao, which Minister Chen are you talking about?"
Zhao Xianliang smiled and said: "Chen Ze's father, don't you and Chen Ze have a good relationship? I heard that you cooperate in many aspects?"
Li Mu understood now. It turned out that Zhao Xianliang came to Yanjing this time to meet with senior officials. Moreover, Li Mu was also surprised that Zhao Xianliang could directly meet Chen Ze's father and have dinner together. This was also revealed to a large extent. Beyond Zhao Xianliang's strength level.
So Li Mu simply stopped pretending to be modest and said sincerely: "Uncle Zhao, to put it bluntly, the reason why I can always beat others is the same as you can always beat me. I know the Internet industry better than the average person." More and deeper. Others look at three moves for their next move, but I look at five, ten or even thirty moves. I can always see further than my opponent, which is the key to defeating my opponent."
Zhao Xianliang nodded slightly and said: "Your current status is not only in the Internet industry, but also in private enterprises across the country. It is an absolute top position. With your status here, you don't need to be too modest in many cases. You must have some domineering spirit.”
With that said, Zhao Xianliang added: "Next time when someone asks you why you are so powerful, don't be so humble and say it's opportunity and luck. Just tell them what you just told me."
Li Mu nodded and said: "I understand Uncle Zhao, I will pay more attention in the future."
Zhao Xianliang nodded slightly. At this time, the flags of both sides had been set up. He asked Li Mu: "Who should leave first?"
Li Mu hurriedly said: "In the fourth round, it's your turn."
Zhao Xianliang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go first."
After saying that, Zhao Xianliang flew up his "phase" first.
Li Mu didn't understand why Zhao Xianliang flew first, instead of sending out artillery, soldiers, and chariots first. He thought Zhao Xianliang was letting him down on purpose, so he directly followed his old and most proficient routine to deal with it.
"Be a door gun!"
In this round, Li Mu lost much faster than any previous round.
When Li Mu handed over the flag, Zhao Xianliang said with a smile: "The first step is to attack, the first step is to attack, the first step is to attack, but the first step is to defend. Many people think that the first step is to attack." In chess, you must go all out to seize the offensive advantage. However, the master Hu Ronghua believes that a game of chess is a battle rather than a battle. Since it is a battle, don’t pursue speed. First stabilize your defense and increase your invincible aura. Only by keeping your body in check and playing steadily can you win in the end.”
Li Mu nodded hurriedly and said, "What you said makes sense. I've learned a lesson..."
Zhao Xianliang smiled slightly and suddenly asked Li Mu: "Have you ever thought about your future development positioning?"
Li Mu said: "The next development positioning will actually revolve around Makino Technology and Taobao."
Zhao Xianliang simply stopped playing the chess pieces, picked up the cigar box from the desk next to him, and asked Li Mu, "Would you like to smoke one?"
Li Mu shook his head: "I can't do this."
Zhao Xianliang took out a pack of limited edition Panda cigarettes, handed one to Li Mu, took one in his mouth, and said to Li Mu: "I don't think you are in the mood to play chess with me. How about we talk about it?" If so, tell me specifically about your future development positioning."
Li Mu nodded and said: "Actually, I don't have many ideas. There are currently two core industries, one is Makino Technology and the other is Taobao. Almost all future plans will revolve around these two core industries."
After that, Li Mu added: "In terms of nature, I tend to make Taobao the largest e-commerce platform in China with over 100 million users; to make Makino Technology a truly world-class enterprise, not only the market value must reach World-class scale, and more importantly, the products and influence themselves must reach world-class levels.”
Zhao Xianliang asked Li Mudao: "Among the companies under your ownership, which one do you think will have the highest market value in the future?"
"Makino Technology." Li Mu answered with almost no hesitation.
Makino Technology will target Tengxun in the future, but the overall structure will be fuller and more mature than Tengxun. At least now YY has become popular among elite groups around the world. In the future, once YY becomes world-class The software will completely break away from the template of Tengxun in the previous life and start the development model of "global Tengxun", so the room for development will be very large.
YY has the opportunity to become a world-class software; Paradise Town and Plants vs. Zombies also have the opportunity to become world-class popular games; when the mobile Internet era arrives in the future, if "WeChat" products can also achieve world-class scale, then Makino Technology will really God knows, Facebook and Google, whose market value exceeds that of their previous lives, are not just idle dreams.
On the other hand, Taobao's development space is indeed a bit embarrassing. It is almost impossible for it to become a truly world-class e-commerce platform. It can only rely on China's huge demographic dividend to become a world-renowned e-commerce platform that only operates for Chinese users. , Boss Ma worked hard to manage his overseas influence in his previous life, frequently giving lectures at overseas universities, and meeting with overseas dignitaries. However, every product he sells is actually taking advantage of China's demographic dividend.
He helps domestic companies and individuals sell things to the people across the country and helps overseas companies sell things to China, but he is unable to help Chinese companies sell things overseas. This is the crux of Boss Ma's embarrassment.
Li Mu also clearly realizes the constraints on the development of Taobao. If Taobao were to be transformed into Taobao + JD.com in the previous life, its market value would not be comparable to Makino Technology unless it was developed into Amazon. However, a company of Amazon's nature could Not just anyone can do it if they want to. It requires strong overseas market relationships. Li Mu said what he meant impartially. At present, Amazon can only grow into a world-class e-commerce platform in the United States. It would not be possible in any other country. Neither is possible.
Whether it is Europe or Japan and South Korea, no company in any country can expand B2C business to the world like Amazon.
Only a country that can deploy aircraft carriers and military bases around the world can its companies launch B2C e-commerce around the world. Therefore, Li Mu believes that Amazon can still become a world-class e-commerce company in this life, but it still cannot find it on Taobao. To a breakthrough point to break through the mainland of China.
After Li Mu concealed some information from his previous life in his analysis, he briefly discussed it with Zhao Xianliang. After hearing this, Zhao Xianliang almost clapped his hands and praised him. He said to Li Mu: "Minister Chen said his views yesterday. He talked about it from the perspective of politics and economics." I have comprehensively analyzed several of your current companies in terms of development space and development space, and my views are almost exactly the same as yours. "
Li Mu asked in surprise: "Really?"
Zhao Xianliang nodded and said: "He also feels that it is difficult for you to copy Taobao's model to developed countries in the world. The country's ideology, international status and situation are all huge potential sticking points, which in itself is a problem for you." There are huge limitations, so he also feels that you should focus on Makino Technology.”
As he spoke, Zhao Xianliang suddenly became serious and said: "I had a chat with Minister Chen, and he said that the high-level attention to you is unprecedented among entrepreneurs. This means that you are now the most important person in the country. There is no such thing as an entrepreneur; and your company is also the company that the country values most, so I very much hope that you can have a new development goal starting from today."
Li Mu hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhao, what are the new development goals you mentioned?"
Zhao Xianliang said word for word: "National business card!"
After that, Zhao Xianliang explained: "Whether it is for you or for your companies, you must put this development goal in an important position, and you must create a strong enough brand around the world. Influence will make you and your company a business card in the country’s business field. By then, your achievements will be beyond the reach of anyone!”
Li Mu nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What you mean is that I will take becoming a national business card as a long-term goal..."
Zhao Xianliang smiled calmly and said: "Not only should we set it as a target, but we should actually do it. Don't always think about setting up cannons, sending out troops, jumping out of horses, and fighting out of chariots. We should also think about supporting the prime ministers and soldiers and having a united front." Only by adding another halo can you become stronger."
Seeing that Li Mu didn't seem to think too clearly, Zhao Xianliang simply said: "Let me give you an analogy. For example, if you want to develop overseas markets next, you should not always sit in the office and point out the country. Sometimes you should also go out. Go to developed countries, accept interviews from authoritative media in developed countries, spread your corporate image and values to the governments, media and people of developed countries, regard yourself as a business card in the country's business field, and actively send it to more people to increase exposure! "
