As the second day of the Internet Conference was held, more videos were reprinted on major platforms and topped the trending searches.
For example, Jiang Qin and Lei Jun discussed new retail on stage, Liu Qiangdong gave a personal speech, and foreign Internet representative Robbit Kahn lamented the development of China’s Internet, as well as Baidu’s Mr. Li announced that he would devote all his efforts to developing driverless technology in the second half of the year. .
But soon, these people were overshadowed by two other people. These two people are the two most valuable CEOs in the Internet business circle today.
As old enemies and sworn enemies, it is extremely rare for two people to be in the same frame, because the two people will fight each other every time they meet, and no one will give in to the other, just like their competitive relationship in the business field.
Tencent launched WeChat, and Alibaba immediately launched Lainghui and invested in the recently popular Momo.
Tencent Video laid out its plans in the film and television industry, and Alibaba quickly bought Youku.
Tencent has QQ Music, and Alibaba has launched Xiami Music, although in the end it has no sense of existence like Xiami.
Subsequently, Tencent acquired China Literature Group, and Alibaba was also thinking about starting Alibaba Literature.
In the same way, Tencent has never been polite to Alibaba.
Alibaba invested in second-hand platform Xianyu, and Tencent quickly launched Zhuanzhuan.
In addition, as Alibaba’s e-commerce business grows bigger and bigger, Tencent also spends a lot of money to build its own e-commerce platforms, Paipai and QQ Mall. It originally planned to get a piece of the pie, but it was unable to do so. So the whole package was given to Taobao’s competitor JD.com.
The two of them rarely see each other, but they often fight.
But this time, their atmosphere in the same room is particularly different.
Neither of the two Mr. Ma showed any aggression, and the conversation was extremely harmonious. They even seemed to be joking, saying that they hoped Alibaba and Tencent would have more cooperation opportunities in the future.
Ma Yun said that Tencent is an excellent company, and there are many aspects that Alibaba needs to learn seriously. Another president, Ma, said that Alibaba is a great company that has truly changed everyone’s lives with technology.
Mr. Ma laughed and said that he could also use WeChat. Another Mr. Ma said that he also had a balance in his Alipay.
The conversation between the two aroused countless discussions, which lasted until the end of the conference. Even the guests present were a little confused.
“What kind of drama are Alibaba and Tencent doing?”
“I’m not sure, but if these two companies really want to open up and cooperate, the Internet industry will probably change.”
“I think this is just talk. WeChat Pay and Alipay are competing so fiercely, and both parties are digging for each other’s foundations. How can we say that cooperation requires cooperation.”
“I also think it’s just a pretext. After all, the theme of the conference is interconnection. It’s not surprising to cater to the above thoughts, but everyone knows that these two people never eat at the same table.”
“Why didn’t Mr. Jiang go?”
“I must have not invited you. If you wanted to invite me, you would have gone earlier. I have never seen a dinner that Mr. Jiang didn’t take advantage of.”
