543、Dark Forest

World Internet Conference, also known as Wuzhen Summit.

Every year, a group of Internet tycoons gather together to exchange opinions on various Internet issues and discuss Internet development plans.

For many netizens, they are more concerned about the dinner party after the meeting and how the big bosses arrange the seats.

Who is in the upper seat, who is in the lower seat, who is sitting next to whom, and who is far away from whom.

Netizens tried to analyze who has a higher status and who is looked down upon in the circle through the arrangement of seats.

Which people are on the same side as Xiao Ma, and which are Lao Ma's people?

Although Luo Xiu's current status is a little far away from the two horses, he is still a well-deserved one of the big guys. Naturally, he was also invited to attend this World Internet Conference.

I have to say that it is much more convenient to have your own private jet.

Luo Xiu got off the plane and saw two other private planes arriving at about the same time, one from Shencheng and the other from Imperial Capital.

It looked like it should be the car of other Internet tycoons, so he was waiting for them in the lounge.

Reporters took the opportunity to gather around and interview: "Mr. Luo, I just saw your private plane land. It's so majestic, more majestic than anyone else's."

With this question, the reporter seemed to be complimenting Luo Xiu, but in fact, he was hiding a trap.

If you don't answer well, it can easily give people a feeling of arrogance and arrogance.

Luo Xiu smiled and replied: "That's because I bought it later and started later than those big brothers, so the performance is of course better."

He pointed to the latest model of mobile phone in the reporter's hand, "Just like you are using the latest model of Apple phone, but I am still using the model from two years ago. This does not mean that you are richer than me."

"Speaking of mobile phones, I understood immediately. It turns out that Mr. Luo, buying an airplane is almost like buying a mobile phone for us!"

At this time, a big boss happened to pass by and said, "That's wrong. Mr. Luo at least doesn't have to pay in installments when buying a plane."

When the reporter thought about it carefully, it seemed that he had indeed bought his mobile phone in installments. If the mobile phone was lost, everyone would have to pay back the money for the thief.

She stopped laughing immediately.

Luo Xiu quickly denied: "Don't talk nonsense. Even if it is installment, I would not be willing to buy such a piece of iron. The board of directors decided to equip the company with an air vehicle and bought it without even me knowing."

After everyone heard this, they thought to themselves, just lie to the devil!

Even a three-year-old child cannot deceive such words as the board of directors' decision.

Although this plane is affiliated with the company, can ordinary employees ride on it? Is it not your exclusive car?

Of course, everyone just complained silently in their hearts, no one would actually say it out loud.

Luo Xiu discovered that Internet and real estate bosses had all bought their own private jets early. Such as Da, Xiao Ma, Xiao Li, Dong Ge, Lao Wang, Lao Xu...

As for Mr. Ren and Rebus of the technology company, neither of them owns a luxury car, so they often meet them waiting in line for flights.

One of the things that impressed Luo Xiu the most was that once Mr. Wang took his dog on a plane, took a photo and posted it on WeChat Moments.

Boss Zhou from 360 commented: Are dogs allowed on flights?

Prince Wang replied: Let.

Boss Zhou: Do you want to buy children’s tickets?

Mr. Wang: I don’t know, I’m flying privately.

After the screenshot of this circle of friends was posted online, many netizens were laughing at Boss Zhou.

They have never thought that at Boss Zhou's level, it's not that they can't afford a private jet, it's just that everyone pursues different things.





The meeting lasted for three days, and more than a dozen topics were discussed.

From Internet culture, to information security, to the Internet economy, to world connection... every issue is grand.

Luo Xiu kept a low profile throughout the whole process and rarely expressed his opinions.

It makes people feel like a humble junior, listening carefully and learning from the seniors.

This is very inconsistent with his past style.

Netizens say that he used to be arrogant, but now he has become honest when he meets a real boss.

Only Luo Xiu knows that such issues will have answers in the near future.

If you predict the future too accurately, it will feel like cheating.

If you deliberately say something wrong, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

So Luo Xiu didn't have anything to say, so it was better to be a quiet and beautiful man.

On the last day, the conference concluded successfully.

As usual, it was time for the big guys to have a private dinner.

At this time, the major factions began to clearly differentiate themselves.

The penguin people gathered around Xiao Ma to eat, while the Ali people followed Lao Ma to sing, and the Du Niang people followed Lao Li.

Unconsciously, Luo Xiu found that he seemed to be alone.

He doesn't seem to belong to any faction.

Starting out through e-commerce, it should have belonged to the Alibaba family, but now Luo Xiu is also developing e-commerce platforms. At the same time, in areas such as payment and takeout, the two parties can be said to be competitors.

The situation is similar to the Penguin series. The rise of short videos has put them under great pressure.

As for the Du Niang group, although Luo Xiu had no conflict with their business, he knew that they were getting worse and worse, so it was impossible for him to go over and form a team with them.

In fact, the Internet industry is relatively transparent, and the factions in traditional industries are more distinct. People who are not from one of these factions are easily squeezed out by their joint efforts.

This is how they stabilize the family business by artificially building industry barriers.

Doing business has become more about human nature and sophistication than about intelligence and technology.

Now Luo Xiu has not been invited by any faction, which makes him feel a little bad.

According to common sense, a potential rising star like himself should be the one that every faction is trying to win over.

After all, the first thing every faction needs to do is to strengthen itself.

This situation now only shows that in their eyes, I am no longer a potential star, but a beast that needs to be guarded against.

In the past year or two, Luo Xiu has indeed been invading the domain of giants.

Originally, Xiao Ma was engaged in social networking and entertainment, while Lao Ma was engaged in e-commerce. Both parties were very stable, and even with the Eternal Mirror, they could not see any threatening opponents.

Luo Xiu's current behavior is equivalent to launching a war against the two giants at the same time.

And based on the speed of his development in recent years, if we leave it alone, I really don’t know what it will become.

Liu Cixin wrote in "Three-Body 2: Dark Forest": The speed and acceleration of civilizational progress are not necessarily consistent, and a weak civilization is likely to surpass a powerful civilization in a short period of time.

The same is true in business.

A seemingly weak company is likely to instantly kill a giant group in just a few years.

Therefore, many giant groups will attack a threatening small company and eliminate it in the cradle.

It is estimated that Shuangma now regrets not taking action earlier to crush Pinru.

But it's not too late to make amends.

Luo Xiu looked around and realized that he was going to be the enemy of the entire Internet.
