Reborn multinational giant

Today, the IT Leadership Summit held in Shenzhen at the end of March each year has become the most important conference in the domestic Internet industry, and none of them.

Because only at this conference, the CEOs of the four major domestic Internet companies HBAT can all gather, and at the annual summit, the four CEOs will contribute a lot of dry goods.

Therefore, after entering March, in addition to a bunch of news that Huizhong has tossed out in the industry, the entire industry and many Internet users who pay attention to the Internet are counting days and looking forward to the start of the IT Leaders Summit.

On the morning of March 30th, this IT summit was held as scheduled at the Wuzhou Hotel in Shenzhen.

Both Fang Zhe and the three BAT CEOs are already frequent visitors and old acquaintances of the summit. Therefore, from the admission to the opening ceremony, to when the four of them are invited to the stage as guests, everything is familiar.

The theme of this year's IT summit is O2O and 4G.

There is no doubt that since Zhe proposed the concept of 020 at the IT summit two years ago, after two years of development, the concept and grand occasion of 020 have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, from China to the world.

Therefore, in order to echo the concept of 020 proposed by Zhe two years ago, the organizer deliberately made 020 one of the themes of this conference.

And another major theme, 4G, this theme is also the most mentioned word in the global Internet industry and the mobile phone industry this year.

In overseas developed countries, such as Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, 4G has begun to spread. Not surprisingly in China, the three major operators will get 4G licenses at the end of the year at the latest, and the domestic popularity will have to be next year at the earliest.

In the mobile phone industry, the major mobile phone manufacturers are playing the 4G concept, looking forward to the arrival of 4G, which will bring a new wave of sales growth bonus!

At the beginning of the dialogue, the host Wu Ying threw the first question to Fang Zhe, asking him how the O2O concept proponent summarized the development of 020 in the past two years?

Fang Zhe has a helpless smile on his face. Since the concept of 020 was proposed two years ago, the proponent of his concept has often been invited to talk and tell about O2O on various occasions. Not to mention himself, he is a netizen who pays attention to his personal news, I am afraid The ears should also hear the cocoon.

Fang Zhe now feels nauseous when he mentions the concept of O2O, saying that people should look forward. In the past year, his main energy has been on the pan-entertainment layout, and this year’s main energy will be put On the listing of Huizhong, regarding the layout of 020, it was already two years ago, and it is really disgusting to let myself talk about it.

However, on such occasions, Fang Zhe had to sell the organizer’s face. He could only say a few words:

"I think the 020 industry has developed very well in the past two years, and now this concept has swept the world. I am very happy to see many types of O2O companies, which were first founded by us in China and later learned and imitated by foreign countries. This shows In the O2O industry, our domestic entrepreneurs have become the global innovation engine and the explorer and leader of the new global O2O economy.

At present, both domestic and foreign, entrepreneurship and investment in the O2O field are in full swing, but at the level of Huizhong and BAT, we are unlikely to abandon the existing main business to sink and do these things, so we will find and Explore some new outlets and business areas."

Fang Zhe’s last sentence was to implicitly say that he no longer pays attention to the O2O industry. Although the organizer has made O2O the theme of the conference, he, the proponent of the O2O concept, has long stopped taking O2O as a trend.

On the side, the three bosses of Erma and Li looked at each other. They somewhat agreed with what Fang Zhe said. Once the O2O was proposed by Fang Zhe, it was a bit of a shame for them to use O2O as the theme.

Although the concept of O2O has been very popular in the past two years, with the scale of three companies, apart from occasionally investing in some promising companies, it will not personally test the water in this heavy asset field.

Just like Fang Zhe said, all three of them are exploring new outlets and business areas. At the same time, the bosses of the three BAT companies also showed interest in their eyes, wanting to hear what Fang Zhe said about the new outlets and new businesses?

As smart as Wu Ying, of course I can hear what Fang Zhe said, that is, he does not want to talk about O2O anymore. He has no idea about it. The theme of the conference was originally to echo the idea that Zhe put forward at the summit two years ago. The O2O concept highlights the extraordinary and awesomeness of the conference.

But since Fang Zhe, the proponent of the O2O concept, is reluctant to talk about it anymore, he will not ask for boring questions.

On the contrary, he is quite interested in what Fang Zhe said about new outlets and new business areas. If Fang Zhe proposes a few more concepts like O2O that can be popular in the global Internet industry, I am afraid that future China IT summits should be renamed It's called the World IT Summit.

Therefore, the experienced Wu Ying directly skipped a few O2O questions on the question card and asked on the spot:

"My partner is very interested in the new frontiers and new business areas that you said, but I have to hear what the other three mean, and if there are any opinions about O2O, if not, let Fang always introduce us. "

Erma and Li directly shook his head, jokes, Fang Zhe, the proponent of O2O, has nothing to say, what can we say, now they have the consciousness to serve as Fang Zhe’s foil, if it weren’t for this conference with a strong official I am afraid that the three of them will not be able to turn away from the background and politics.

The topic returned to Fang Zhe. Fang Zhe looked at the three people who were silent and silent since taking the stage, thinking that starting next year, he should not come to this conference.

Because every time they have their own presence, the three of them can only serve as a foil, and when Huizhong is listed at the end of the year, the gap between H and BAT will grow larger and larger, and the common language between the four of them will probably increase. Less.

The big guys from the three BATs had no intention of participating, and the atmosphere of the conference was inevitably a bit embarrassing. The entire dialogue seemed to be a one-man show by Fang Zhe.

However, Fang Zhe, who had already made up his mind not to come next year, used the mentality of giving it up and playing it for the last time, purely treating this conference as his own stage.

"Then I will talk about what we have been doing in Huizhong recently. Many people say that I am developing a one-stop online entertainment layout, but I personally prefer to call it pan-entertainment. "Fang Zhe said casually without flushing and heartbeat.

The audience in the audience listened quietly. Although they could see that the atmosphere of the conference was a little colder and awkward than in previous years, they did not care, especially many of Fang Zhe’s fans and O2O supporters and entrepreneurs. I hope today's conference will be Fang Zhe's press conference alone.

As for the three big bosses of BAT, what's so nice about their words is that they used to be awesome, but they are all gone. Now Tencent is sunset, Baidu is going downhill, and Alibaba has managed to keep the situation through Huizhong's investment in Tmall. .

To put it bluntly, the three of them are all defeated by Huizhong, people and companies that are about to be eliminated and abandoned by the times.

For the heart is higher than the sky, all of them want to be the next Fangzhe, and the next Jobs entrepreneurs, the BAT idol myth has been shattered. In their eyes, these three companies are no different from the declining Yahoo and Nokia. .
