41: Section 41
Inside the Internet Conference.
Every year, General Manager Ma invites many internet magnates to gather in Wu Town for a Wu Town banquet.
This Wu Town banquet is also known as the Internet Conference of Yan Country.
Almost all internet magnates attend.
And today.
It was time for the annual Internet Conference.
At this moment.
In a top-floor private room of a luxurious restaurant in Wu Town, several top magnates were clinking glasses.
Every person in a seat was a famous figure in the Yan Country internet industry at that time.
General Manager Xiao Ma and General Manager Ma were both in this room.
"I heard that General Manager Xiao Ma seemed to have suffered a setback with a new company recently."
After a few drinks, someone in the room laughed.
General Manager Xiao Ma shook his head helplessly.
"My subordinates were indeed too careless, but that young man does have some skill."
Others continued.
"This person's vision is truly good; he was actually able to seize the short video trend. None of us here last year discovered the potential of short videos, and as a result, a year later, Douyin has become incredibly popular."
"Not only domestically, but Douyin's international version, though just launched, is also developing rapidly and should not be underestimated."
"To have a market value of three hundred billion in just one year is truly too exaggerated."
"I think he can be invited to this room next year."
Regarding the achievements of Wang Mo, the internet magnates present couldn't help but click their tongues in admiration.
This achievement was already quite exaggerated for a new company.
And just then.
A faint laugh came from the main seat.
"He's just a young man. He just got lucky and caught a trend. It's uncertain how long this trend will last."
"Over the years, we've seen countless companies that became overnight sensations only to go bankrupt within a few years."
"Sudden rises are common in the internet ecosystem; being able to persevere for a long time is the true path."
"Who among us sitting here didn't take off by catching a certain trend? But we not only took off, we've also stayed aloft."
The speaker murmured.
"This young man isn't qualified to sit at the same table as us yet. It's uncertain if his three hundred billion market value can last until next year."
Listening to this person's voice, the others couldn't help but nod, evidently agreeing with his words.
And the person speaking.
It was General Manager Ma, the most senior and wealthiest person in the room.
His Ali Group's market value was no lower than Penguin Group's, and his personal assets consistently ranked first on Yan Country's rich list.
Ali Group's Taobao was the only leader in online shopping.
Listening to General Manager Ma's words, General Manager Xiao Ma smiled.
"This young man is not as simple as you think."
General Manager Ma shook his head.
"I think you're just afraid of losing. What's there to be afraid of about a rookie young man?"
"If he's got the guts, let him make a move against my Ali Group. See if he dares."
"Even if he had ten times the courage, he probably wouldn't dare to make a move against me; he can only choose some areas that no one has ever tried before."
After hearing that.
Just as General Manager Xiao Ma was about to say something, he suddenly received a message on his phone.
Looking at the message, General Manager Xiao Ma was first stunned, then he actually started to laugh.
He slowly spoke.
"Who said this person doesn't dare to make a move against Ali Group?"
"What do you mean?" General Manager Ma frowned.
And the next second.
General Manager Xiao Ma showed the content on his phone to everyone.
Then he slowly spoke.
"Wang Mo's next software will be launched in a week."
"And this software..."
General Manager Xiao Ma looked at General Manager Ma.
"...is a shopping software."
Chapter 43: General Manager Ma's Confidence, Pinduoduo Not Taken Seriously!
As General Manager Xiao Ma's voice rang out.
The room immediately fell silent.
"What did you say?" General Manager Ma's expression also froze.
He hadn't expected it.
He had just finished saying that Wang Mo wouldn't dare to make a move against Ali Group, but the very next second, he was proven wrong.
General Manager Xiao Ma also smiled.
"It seems."
"He doesn't need ten times the courage; he dares to make a move against Ali Group, and even against Taobao, the most crucial part of Ali Group."
"He's looking for death." General Manager Ma shook his head.
At the same time.
The others in the room also heard General Manager Xiao Ma's words.
But they didn't believe it immediately.
After all, the move to launch a new shopping software was simply too crazy.
"Are you sure?" someone asked.
"You'll know if you see for yourselves."
As soon as General Manager Xiao Ma finished speaking.
The person closest to him picked up his phone and looked at it, while the others also started to take out their phones to check for information.
A few moments later.
"It really is!"
"Junzi Group's next software is an online shopping software called Pinduoduo!"
"This person is really preparing to make a move against Taobao."
"He's too bold."
Someone confirmed the information.
And as soon as he finished speaking.
The entire room was instantly filled with laughter.
"I take back what I just said; this person has no vision at all. He actually wants to make a move against Taobao."
"I praised him too early just now; this person is still too young."
"General Manager Ma is right; this person is looking for death by making shopping software."
"What is Wang Mo thinking? Instead of operating Douyin properly, he's running to compete with Taobao for food."
"This person probably just launched a shopping software casually to see if he could make some money and isn't really serious about it."
"I think so too. Junzi Group probably won't put too much effort into this software."
For a moment.
Almost everyone felt that Wang Mo was just joking, just wanting to try it out.
After all, the design cost of a shopping software isn't high; if it doesn't work, they can just take it down.
But next.
