After rebirth, I want to destroy my original family

On June 6th, with the sun scorching and cicadas chirping, the International Internet Conference was officially held in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River with rippling water.

From the moment the morning light shone on the stone road, the golden sunlight created a warm atmosphere for the meeting, and the waving red flags looked extremely bright in this atmosphere.

Slogans of interconnection, sharing and co-governance can be seen everywhere.

Standing on a high place and looking forward, one black car after another slowly drove into the town, went forward along the main road, and finally stopped at the red carpet area in front of the reception hall. There was a guard post every 1 steps and a sentry post every 5 steps around the red carpet.

After the guests got off the car, they walked along the red carpet. In front of them was a more than two-meter-high LED screen that continuously broadcast the outstanding achievements of Chinese companies in the Internet industry.

Scan code payment, national logistics, social networking, self-media and various browsing data are constantly scrolling...

Among them, the logos of several representative companies flashed 11 times, and there was also a 3-second street shot of a JD truck and a refrigerated truck from the group-buying supply chain passing by each other on the street.

At the scene, there are countless cameras, cranes and drones everywhere, providing 3-degree all-round shooting.

All signals are connected to a small room on the right side of the reception hall, where the on-site director is directing the entire event, capturing every frame and expression of every guest present.

The live broadcast on all platforms has not yet begun, and these scenes will eventually be edited into videos as a pilot film for the live broadcast.

Around 8 o'clock in the morning, the temperature had begun to rise and the invited guests began to enter and then gathered in the reception hall.

The reporters walked through the hall and looked around. There were various chief executive officers, operating officers, technical officers, etc. everywhere, and they didn't know which one to interview first.

It wasn't until the arrival of Ali's delegation that the reporters locked their sights and swarmed away.

As a representative in the field of e-commerce and mobile payment, Alibaba was originally the “key enterprise” of this conference.

The arrival of the Tencent delegation also received the same courtesy and attracted much attention.

This feels a bit like the immortal cultivation conference in a fairy novel. Two peerless sects are present, with impressive temperament and outstanding status, seeming to be the focus of the entire venue.

"Mr. Ma, how are you feeling now?"

"I'm very excited. China's Internet industry has developed to a level that is world-class. This international conference can be seen as a recognition of us Internet people."

"Then what are Alibaba's subsequent development plans?"

"We hope that e-commerce can be globalized and serve sellers and buyers around the world."

Afterwards, the JD.com delegation, the Xiaomi delegation, and the four major delegations of the "China Cool Alliance" also came along.

In addition, there were representatives from various related industries, such as the Internet finance industry, Internet venture capital investors, and even manufacturing delegations came to attend the meeting.

Under the bright sunshine, the long river in the water town is sparkling, and there is a buzz of people under the gray brick and white walls.

Soon, Cheng Wei, a representative of the taxi-hailing industry, also arrived at the meeting, greeted several representatives from Alibaba, and then walked towards the Tencent delegation.

Bibi is a platform in which Tencent has a stake. Logically speaking, Cheng Wei and Alibaba should have no say over each other, but in fact, before founding Bibi Taxi, Cheng Wei was a member of Alibaba's China Integrity Supplier.

So his background is quite complicated.

On the other side, Kuaidi's founder Chen Chuanxing also arrived at the venue hall shortly after, walked along the reception desk with red flags waving, and shook hands gently with Cheng Wei.

"Mr. Chen, long time no see."

"Long time no see. Why has your... hair become less?"

"Ah, seasonal hair loss."

People who have been together day and night may not be able to see the slight changes in the people around them, but people who have not seen each other for a long time can always easily notice the changes in each other.

In Chen Chuanxing's eyes, Cheng Wei's hair was indeed thinner.

However, he did not ask deeply, because Bibi and Kuai De had faced similar pressures before. Chen Chuanxing also understood why he lost his hair, and his good hair was only because there was no hair loss gene in his family.

"How is the market in Jiangcheng doing?"

"It's OK. I found that the development of the sinking market is far beyond our imagination. The penetration of mobile Internet in 23-tier cities is not lagging behind that of 1-tier cities."

Cheng Wei nodded: "The Yongcheng market that we are currently focusing on developing is similar. Everyone's acceptance rate for online ride-hailing is very high, which is an unexpected surprise."

After the restart of the taxi war, in order to seek growth, the two companies continued to move downwards. They thought they would face many obstacles, but they did not expect that the user rate of Line 23 was also surprisingly high, resulting in their business volume continuing to increase, and the situation was gratifying.

However, when the two people were talking, they deliberately did not mention the existence that was like a shadow1.

Because they all know that the current good situation is only temporary. Some people let them off the hook, but as the taxi-hailing platform becomes nationwide, the battle for the market will eventually break out like the one in Donghai.

At this moment, Chen Chuanxing's eyes suddenly drifted away, and he saw a foreign man with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge appearing at the meeting and walking towards them.

"Travis."

Chen Chuanxing and Cheng Wei had actually only met Travis a few times, but because they had been confronting each other for a year, they naturally knew what the other looked like.

The three people shook hands and greeted each other politely, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

But in fact, just six months ago, this arrogant foreigner was still forcing and bribing them to withdraw from the market, as if he had locked in victory in advance.

Chen Chuanxing and Cheng Wei still remember his arrogance and arrogance when he described Chinese companies, and his contempt and disdain when he forced them to withdraw.

But in just 6 months, he was almost disabled and even had a blister on the side of his mouth. He really was a case of adapting to the local customs.

"Mr. Travis, how are you doing?"

"not bad."

Travis forced a smile, but it was difficult to raise the corners of his mouth.

Uber initially entered the Chinese market with huge international capital and spent hundreds of millions of dollars, but now it is forced to defend itself. It was first suppressed by technology and then overwhelmed by public opinion. The fact that it can say "not bad" shows that it is strong inside.

It was not until now that he realized that there are two types of competitors in the Chinese market: one is called others, and the other is called group buying.

From the moment Didi entered the taxi war, the entire business war was brought into an uncontrollable stage. Before Didi, Travis had never suffered such fierce and rapid suppression.

There is also a shadow in his heart that is difficult to erase.

At this moment, in the sunny red carpet area ahead, the group delegation entered the car.

Jiang Qin appeared in a well-tailored suit, walking like a frail scholar, followed by Su Nai, Dong Wenhao and Wei Lanlan, who were all dressed up.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with saying that he is a scholar, because he has not yet graduated from graduate school.

But he is weak... No one at the scene would think so. Group buying is now a behemoth second only to bat, and Jiang Qin is the leader with iron-blooded methods.

Seeing the four people approaching, Pang Rui turned around and looked as if she saw her lifelong enemy.

The two Uncle Ma also turned to look, as if they saw their lifelong enemies.

Cheng Wei and Chen Chuanxing also turned to look, as if they saw their lifelong enemies.

Yu Yongjie, a member of the Gaode delegation, was also present, but the difference was that what he saw was a man who had founded a friendly business.

At first, Travis didn't realize that it was Gu Ming who was walking towards him. It was not until he noticed that Cheng Wei and Chen Chuanxing could not help but take a step back that he thought of Didi and group buying. Then, he looked at the smiling Gu Ming with a dazed expression.

At the same age, Asians look much younger than Europeans and Americans. In Travis' eyes, Gu Ming is just like an intern in his company, and is completely different from the violent beast in his imagination.

Is this the person who is pulling the strings behind everything and making it so difficult for Uber to move forward?

Travis found it hard to believe this, and after reluctantly believing it, he found it even harder to accept.

He hoped that Gu Ming would be like Dwayne Johnson, walking with a sense of oppression, as if that would make him more willing to lose.

"Mr. Gu Ming, welcome."

The reporter from CCTV greeted him with a bright smile and handed him the microphone: "How are you feeling today?"

Gu Ming pursed his lips and said, "I feel very honored. It is actually an honor to be present as a guest at such a conference. I didn't sleep well last night."

"What is the next development plan for group buying?"

"We plan to enter the Southeast Asian market and are currently studying the implementation plan. We are already in the investigation stage of the Singapore market. China's Internet is striding towards the world, and Pintuan hopes to make a small contribution at this stage."

"Okay, thank you for your answer, distinguished guests please move to the reception hall."

There were several female interns in the press corps who couldn't help blushing and whispering to each other as they looked at Gu Ming.

They are about the same age as Gu Ming, but seeing him attend the conference as a representative in person, they suddenly have a new understanding of the phrase "young and promising".

After the interview, we came to the reception hall, and many people came to say hello.

Gu Ming shook hands with the eleven of them, politely and modestly, then turned around and saw Travis looking at him from afar, so the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a kind smile, like a sunny and cheerful big boy.

[This foreigner looks really like the sculpture in front of our company’s main building]

But before Gu Ming could greet him, a conversation suddenly sounded behind him.

"Mr. Deng, I'm the CEO of LeEco. I've been wanting to meet you for a long time. I heard that you built the big data center for group buying. I hope we will have opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"Humph!"

"?"

Jia Yue paused for a moment, watching Deng Xuanxuan leave with a cold snort, his expression very confused, and he didn't know what to do with his hands hanging in the air.

Gu Ming immediately handed over his hand: "Don't mind, Mr. Jia, our Mr. Deng's boyfriend passed away and he's been in a bad mood recently."
