Rebirth of the Wild Age

Kuanzhai Alley, "Longmenzhen" teahouse.

This teahouse was opened by Zheng Xuehong. The old teahouse in Rongping City was really out of business. He closed it before the Spring Festival.

Wu Xiaobo carried a canvas satchel and a camera around his neck. He asked all the way and finally found this broken place. He had just interviewed TCL boss Li Dongsheng for two days in Qiandao Lake. During the interview, Li Dongsheng turned off his mobile phone and the two big men chatted nonsense there.

Today's TCL has been in a quagmire, the computer business has been expelled from the mainstream market, and the mobile phone business has lost money. Although the TV business sells well, its profit margin is terribly low, which is no different from making money at a loss.

It is also true that Li Dongsheng has only two days of free time to accept interviews, and by the way discusses corporate development issues with Wu Xiaobo.

After interviewing Li Dongsheng, Wu Xiaobo suddenly received a text message. Song Weiyang has half a month to be interviewed in Rongcheng at any time. This opportunity was very rare. Wu Xiaobo left and flew over overnight. He had waited for this interview for more than a year.

Walking into the Longmenzhen Teahouse, Wu Xiaobo found that there were more than a dozen guests in total. Four of them were Western white faces. They were sitting there drinking tea and listening to Sichuan opera. They seemed to be traveling in Kuanzhai Alley.

Song Weiyang sat in a seat closer to the stage, half lying on a bamboo chair with Erlang's legs tilted, holding a bowl of tureen tea in his hand. Sitting on his left is Chen Tao. Tao does not wear a confinement hat, but wears a sun hat and drank his own yogurt. Zheng Xuehong is fatter than before. It is difficult for a bamboo chair to hold its tonnage. Every time he moves his butt, the bamboo chair creaks.

"Mr. Song, Miss Chen, Mr. Zheng!" Wu Xiaobo walked over to greet.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Senior Wu, please sit down!"

Zheng Xuehong nodded to Wu Xiaobo in greeting, and then beckoned to come to the tea man: "One more bowl of tea."

"I'll leave first, talk slowly." Chen Tao got up and said, she can't be out for too long, she must rush back to feed the baby.

As soon as Wu Xiaobo sat down, he saw a pair of boys and girls in Kung Fu costumes, each carrying a long flowing copper pot. The spout was two feet long, which was far more than one foot and five inches in the teahouse of Rongcheng. It belonged to the long-liu pot system in eastern and southeastern Sichuan.

Now it’s all about eyeball economy. Of course, the longer the spout, the better. Whether or not it adheres to local traditions is the second most important thing.

The boys and girls began to dance gracefully, their postures were a bit like opera and martial arts routines. While pouring tea in various fancy styles, they also shouted the names of moves such as "mountain flowing water" and "Su Qin back sword".

The four white tourists in the teahouse immediately cast their eyes, obviously this thing is more attractive than the opera on stage.

"This way of pouring tea is a bit interesting." Wu Xiaobo laughed.

Zheng Xuehong said: “The people who come to drink tea here are all tourists from other places, and they must have something to attract them. Sichuan opera is not very attractive, and the tea pouring show with a long-mouthed pot is a living sign of this teahouse.”

"Can you make money?" Wu Xiaobo looked around, "There don't seem to be many customers here."

Zheng Xuehong smiled and said: "It's much better now. When it first opened, there were not many tourists in the whole alley, and only one or two people came in for tea every day. Now there are more than 100 tea customers in a single day on holidays, and there are many more. Foreigners, if you stick to it, you will be able to balance your income and expenditure."

Wu Xiaobo said: "Mr. Zheng chose to retreat from the rapids and let go of all his duties in Xifeng. Now the days are really chic."

"The scale of Xifeng Group is getting bigger and bigger, it is beyond the scope of my ability, and staying in the company will be a mess. It's better to step back and find something else to do," Zheng Xuehong said, stood up and laughed." Let’s talk about it, I won’t bother, and I will cover the tea money for today."

"Mr. Zheng, go slowly!" Wu Xiaobo got up to see him off.

Song Weiyang listened to Sichuan opera while tasting tea, and when Wu Xiaobo sat back in his chair, he asked, "What are you talking about?"

Wu Xiaobo explained: "It's like this. From 1978 to now, China's reform and opening up has been almost 30 years old. I plan to publish a book "Thirty Years of Surging" in 2008 to record Chinese society in the past 30 years. I have interviewed dozens of successful or failed entrepreneurs, talking about their entrepreneurial and struggle history, and talking about their mental journeys over the years. You are the richest man in China, and the chairman of Xifeng and Shenzhou, Writing a book about 30 years of reform and opening up is impossible to circumvent you, a big entrepreneur."

"It sounds like a very interesting book." Song Weiyang laughed.

Wu Xiaobo took out his shorthand notebook and recording pen: "There is a lot of information about you in the society, with mixed truths and falsehoods. I hope to learn more about the real things."

Song Weiyang nodded and said, "Yes, you can ask."

The two chatted from Song Weiyang's childhood until Song Weiyang broke into the special zone.

"In other words, did you really meet Mr. Zheng and Miss Chen on the train?" Wu Xiaobo said with interest.

Song Weiyang said: "Yes."

Wu Xiaobo asked: "Dr. Ma and the private meeting are like the rumors of the rivers and lakes?"

Song Weiyang said: "The ‘private conference’ organized by China Merchants, the association’s articles of association are all copied from me, in both Chinese and English, and a single punctuation mark has not changed."

"Do you think it is a scam?" Wu Xiaobo asked.

"A win-win situation, each one gets what he needs." Song Weiyang said.

Wu Xiaobo asked: "Where did your business management knowledge come from?"

Song Weiyang made up half-truths and half-truths: "Some are from ears and eyes, and some are read in books. In my father's library, there are many books on business management, many of which are traditional Chinese bought from Hong Kong City. Version."

"Through reading and self-study, you can come up with a set of business management models that will fool the professors of business administration at Sun Yat-Sen University," Wu Xiaobo said in amazement, "this should be an innate talent, right? ?Perhaps you are a business genius yourself."

Song Weiyang said, "Perhaps."

Wu Xiaobo asked: "Can you talk about the development of Xifeng and Shenzhou Technology?"

Song Weiyang said: "There is no need to repeat this, I will ask you to give you a complete set of materials."

Wu Xiaobo said: "I interviewed Zhang Chaoyang, Ding Ming, and Ding Sanshi last year, and they all mentioned you. You were an entrepreneur in food and beverage back then, and China Technology was also in the start-up stage. Why did you suddenly choose to invest in the Internet?"

"It's not surprising," Song Weiyang laughed, "I'm an old netizen, and I have the first Chinese screen name in China. Before Ding Sanshi quit my job to start a business, I was chatting with him on the Internet. "

Wu Xiaobo said: "So far, your most profitable investment is to invest in Google search. Without Google, you might still be the richest man in China, but it is absolutely impossible to make it into the top ten of the world's richest list. Investing in Google At that time, have you ever thought about making so much money?"

"I thought of it." Song Weiyang admitted generously.

"Did you think of it at the beginning?" Wu Xiaobo asked in surprise.

Song Weiyang said: "Google and Sogou, and even now Baidu, their bid ranking advertising model was proposed when I invested in Google. I have always believed that the future of the Internet is interactive, not represented by Yahoo. The traditional mode of Internet interaction is inseparable from the search engine, which is equivalent to a computer system. As long as the search engine is done well, it can become the Microsoft of the Internet industry."

From Google to Sohu, Jinshan, Joyo and Alibaba, and finally even talked about China's recent employee welfare reforms.

Song Weiyang suddenly said: "I'm very curious, why you have interviewed so many Internet companies, why have you not interviewed Tencent?"

Wu Xiaobo said: "Tencent has nothing to interview, it is an ordinary company operating wireless value-added services and online games. No matter in terms of scale or content, there is nothing that makes people eye-catching."

"What about QQ?" Song Weiyang said.

Wu Xiaobo said: "QQ is just an online chat tool. There are many similar chat tools. Sina and Netease now have similar products. From the perspective of influence, QQ is far behind Microsoft's MSN. It will be sooner or later that MSN will steal the market. "

"Okay." Song Weiyang had nothing to say.

The book "Thirty Years of Excitement" mentioned many Internet companies in China, but Tencent and Xiao Ma did not bubbling.

The reason is simple. Before 2008, Wu Xiaobo did not take Tencent seriously.

Wu Xiaobo asked: "Mr. Song is very optimistic about Tencent's future?"

Song Weiyang smiled mysteriously: "Maybe it won't take ten years. After five years, you won't ask such questions again."

"Why?" Wu Xiaobo asked.

"I don't want to explain, I know it later." Song Weiyang said.

"Okay," Wu Xiaobo said, "someone always compares Shenzhou with Lenovo. There is also a saying in the society of ‘Southern Shenzhou, North Lenovo.’ What is your comment on Lenovo and what are your expectations for the development of Shenzhou?"

Song Weiyang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Lenovo is a computer assembly company."

"Computer assembly company?" Wu Xiaobo followed with a smile.

Song Weiyang said: "The computer has only a few parts. CPU, motherboard, hard disk, graphics card, power supply, case, mouse, keyboard, monitor, you can learn it normally. It is impossible to assemble mistakes because they are installed incorrectly. Can't plug in the interface. Nowadays, Lenovo computers have a part of their own design."

Wu Xiaobo said: "What about Shenzhou Computer?"

Song Weiyang said: "The motherboards and hard drives of China Computer have already been autonomous. Moreover, we are still cooperating with BYD to develop power supplies and BOE to develop monitors to further realize their independence~www.wuxiamtl.com~Wu Xiaobo Said: "Because Shenzhou Technology is not listed, the outside world has always been very interested in its asset size. "

Song Weiyang said: “I’m not convenient to say more about the specific data. But China’s total assets surpassed Lenovo as early as three years ago. And our financial situation is very healthy, and the debt ratio has been controlled at 30%-35%. In the meantime, all projects have been steadily executed and progressed step by step towards their goals."

Wu Xiaobo said: "With China Technology's ability to borrow money, the debt ratio is lower than 35%, which seems too conservative."

"From another perspective, China Science and Technology has a strong ability to resist risks." Song Weiyang laughed.

Wu Xiaobo said: "Now China Science and Technology has launched many products, which can be said to be blossoming across the board. What business are you most optimistic about?"

"Mobile phone." Song Weiyang said.

"Isn't it a computer?" Wu Xiaobo was a little surprised.

Song Weiyang said: "You will know next year."

Wu Xiaobo asked: "Is it a 3G mobile phone?"

Song Weiyang laughed and said: "It is an epoch-making science fiction phone. Once this kind of phone comes out, all the existing models of Nokia and Motorola will be eliminated."

Wu Xiaobo was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time. He felt that Song Weiyang was bragging too much.

Eliminate existing models of Nokia and Motorola?

Who will believe it?

Nokia is God in the field of mobile phones. People at this time are very convinced that Nokia cannot be surpassed in the short term, and this period must be at least 20 years.

Wu Xiaobo's interview was not only used to write a book, but he also had to rush to publish a column. It is normal for one manuscript to be used for multiple purposes.

A few days later, Wu Xiaobo's column was published, and it was changed to a provocative title by the editor: "Song Weiyang: China Mobile will eliminate Nokia, at the latest next year."
