Chapter 1457 Dialogue with Bill* Wei Ruan 1
The smile on Bill Weiruan's face was frozen for a moment, and he probably didn't expect that Bai Ningyuan would make such a request.
He would not understand how great his influence in China is, it can be said to be a legend that a generation admires, so Bai Ningyuan can only become a fan in seconds in front of him.
However, Bill Weiruan naturally would not refuse Bai Ningyuan's request, after all, this was just a very trivial matter.
So after nodding his head to agree, he watched Bai Ningyuan take out his selfie stick, put his phone on it, and then took several pictures in succession with joy.
After doing all this, when Bai Ningyuan packed up his selfie stick, the first thing he did was to immediately filter the photos he had just posted on his circle of friends after a simple screening.
Half a minute later, the number of likes from Bai Ningyuan's message in the circle of friends instantly exceeded 100, and many people they knew left messages below the message, expressing the dumbfoundedness in their hearts at this moment.
"Damn, what's the matter? Did you go to America? Who is that? Bill Weiruan? Damn!"
"I'm so awesome, you're actually staying with Bill Weiruan? Didn't you lie to us?"
"Are you showing off Hongguoguo?"
"Tell me that this photo is not P. It's so unreasonable that you are with Bill Weiruan!"
"Idol, boss, please take my knees!"
"Boss, you are indeed a man who created a legend. It is beyond our imagination to be with Bill Weiruan."
"Remember to come back and get me a Bill's signature photo."
"Can you help me ask Gates some of his views and suggestions on the current development status of the Chinese Internet industry, online, etc."
At this time, Bai Ningyuan's circle of friends was almost blown up. Whether it was an Internet tycoon like Ma Yun, Ma Hua, or the heads of a car company like Li Shufu, Yin Tongyue, or subordinates like Ji Zhengzhen and Yan Banlei, they all couldn't believe their eyes after seeing several photos of Bai Ningyuan and Bill Weiruan.
Although Bill has always been very well-known in China, as the richest man, he is simply a god-like existence to the Chinese people, as if he is out of reach. So when they first see Bai Ningyuan with him, they all feel unreal.
It’s clear that God Bill and they are two worlds, but how could they be with Bai Ningyuan now?
Of course, there are also some people who are a little calmer, such as Dong Qiang wrote down the questions he wanted to know in the message, and asked Bai Ningyuan to ask Bill for him.
With these photos alone, Bai Ningyuan once again became an extraordinary existence in everyone's mind.
Bai Ningyuan didn't care about these things, because after posting on Moments, he put away his cell phone and hid his achievements and fame.
After all, posting on WeChat Moments to show off is just a by-and-by-way. The most important thing tonight is the communication with Bill Weiruan in front of you.
"I have always heard that the Lophone series of mobile phones are very useful, and the sales of the Lophone series of mobile phones in the United States have always been good. Now, looking at the way you just operated, I began to understand why it succeeded." Bill Weiruan said to Bai Ningyuan.
When Bai Ningyuan looked up at him, Bill smiled and said, "I think you must be very surprised. Why did I invite you to come here for a long time for this dinner? In fact, for a long time, the Chinese market has been a key area that I pay attention to. Although it is in the Chinese region, piracy is rampant due to the copyright protection. Wei Ruan's work can be said to be difficult, but in recent years, the development speed of China's development is still quite surprising. Among them, you are another leader, such as EMP electric vehicles, Lophone series, current mobile payments, etc. It can be said that the achievements you have made at this stage are unmatched by me back then, so I have always wanted to talk to you to see if you can get any inspiration from you."
It is certainly true that Bill Weiruan is able to dominate the world's richest man for many years. It can be seen from the fact that he has never stopped learning and innovated.
"You are so kind to say. Just like what I said before, it is my honor to be able to have dinner with you, not just me, but I think it is an honor for anyone in this world. As for what you said, I am just lucky. Compared to you, it is really not worth mentioning." Bai Ningyuan quickly returned to him with a humble look on his face.
At this time, Bai Ningyuan's posture was still relatively low.
During the breaks between speaking, the waiter had already started to serve the dishes.
There are no delicacies, some of them are the most common foods in America, but they may be better in terms of nutritional matching. The waiter who came in did not recognize Bill Weiruan from beginning to end.
In fact, even Bai Ningyuan was faintly disappointed at this time. He was still thinking about what kind of good things he would eat if Bill Weiruan had dinner together, but he didn't expect that it was just ordinary American food.
Fortunately, chatting is the key tonight. As for what to eat, it is an irrelevant issue.
During Bai Ningyuan's careful listening, Bill Weiruan began to tell his struggle history. From a small programmer who dropped out of school to the founding of Weiruan, he talked in detail. Although it was a lot of things and had heard them countless times on the Internet, it gave Bai Ningyuan a different feeling when he said it from Bill's mouth.
Similarly, Bai Ningyuan also talked about how he developed from a braised duck restaurant to his current scale in an interesting gaze. His success as if he was a curious adventure made Bill Weiruan call him lucky.
"E-commerce is now showing a rapid rise and development situation, especially in China. E-commerce has become an important channel for many people to shop. As for the specific situation in the United States, I don't really know much, so I want to hear some of your views on China E-commerce. I don't know if the future prospects are broad in your eyes." Bai Ningyuan said seriously to Bill Weiruan.
After introducing some greetings and having a certain understanding of each other, Bill began to answer questions and solve problems against Bai Ningyuan, and Bai Ningyuan first proposed it was e-commerce.
This is also one of the issues that Bai Ningyuan is most concerned about.
Although Bai Ningyuan's Lefu Finance has been solving the problem of domestic electronic payment today, and Lo International has also invested in Jingdong Mall and Su Ning Yigou, these alone cannot conceal Bai Ningyuan's ambition. Bai Ningyuan also knows that online shopping is becoming an important lifestyle for people at home and abroad, so he has been considering the issue of e-commerce a long time ago. Now with the support from Lefu Finance, Bai Ningyuan also wants to play more in-depth.
Online shopping is not a unique scenario in China, but there are also a large number abroad. However, China has developed more rapidly in the past two years, which has attracted worldwide attention and has become one of the four new inventions of China in the new era.
After carefully analyzing the market, Bai Ningyuan felt that the time had come, so he wanted to listen to Bill's opinion.
No matter what, he has been immersed in this industry for thirty or forty years, and he will definitely have some of his own opinions on these.
Bill Weiruan can be said to be a person who has been at the forefront of the trend. This can be seen from the construction of his luxury house in Seattle. Regarding Bai Ningyuan's problem, he thought for a little while before speaking in a deep voice: "E-commerce is becoming a trend. This is an indisputable fact. I always believe that with the continued development of technology, the connection between e-commerce and human beings will be closer. Not only that, the Internet has made the world more open, but also attracted many people to join this circle. The world is changing.
It has become a big market, and in this environment, successful Western companies try to enter China and compete for markets in South Asia and other places, and Chinese companies are also trying to enter the American market. However, it is undeniable that the situation in each market is different. If you want to succeed, you must make choices in the face of rules and persistence, unless they are strong enough to change the rules of the game. This is true for both Western companies and Chinese companies, especially Chinese companies. To go to the world, they must adapt to the needs of the world..."
Obviously, Bill Weiruan expressed tactful criticism of the practices of some Chinese companies.
In fact, this is a common problem in many international views on Chinese companies.
In the eyes of many Europeans and Americans, Chinese people are very good at calculating, and this calculating is not about how to improve products or services, but how to reduce costs and conduct business.
Of course, the essence of capitalists is profit-seeking. This is true for both Chinese and European and American businessmen. But the difference is that after so many years of free economy, a relatively mature set of unspoken rules have been formed in Western business, so that they will tacitly adhere to this final bottom line when they are engaged in the business. However, Chinese companies have been closed for too long, and China's own market rules are still very different from those of the outside world. If they continue to do all their previous styles in China, they will often fall a big fuss. In this regard, countless Chinese companies that want to expand overseas markets have proved this with countless examples...
