Rebirth of a technological power

The weather in Wuzhen at the end of September is like the gentleness of a woman from the south of the Yangtze River, and the scorching heat has completely receded.

At this time, the ancient town has a sense of technology and the times, and the streets of the ancient town have become lively.

Technology giants from China and the world have gathered here. One day later, on September 25, the 2021 World Internet Conference will be held here.

The World Internet Conference has attracted worldwide attention since it was first held in 2014.

Even last year, the conference was only postponed but not cancelled.

This conference is the eighth. In these eight years, China's Internet companies have indeed made great progress. Capital from China and the world has also taken advantage of this east wind to invest a large amount of funds into China's Internet companies.

Driven by capital, China's Internet industry has developed increasingly rapidly.

On the surface, the world's Internet landscape shows that China and the United States are juxtaposed. What Internet companies can do well is either in the United States or in China.

But internally, China’s Internet has actually taken many detours.

For example, capital has accumulated in shared bicycles, and now the shared bicycles are dead. I don’t know how many people have nowhere to refund their deposits and have no way to appeal.

Another example is the accumulation of online ride-hailing services, food delivery platforms, and companies claiming to be Internet+.

And from an internal perspective, most Chinese Internet companies are producing content, while core equipment such as algorithms and hardware and key monopoly technologies are all in the hands of Westerners.

Until Cai Jin flipped the table and smashed the original plate.

Originally, Cai Jin could wait until the day the conference started.

However, he and Nie Xiaoyu set off three days early.

And not only did they come, they also brought their families as a tourist.

They first arrived in Hangzhou by train, then went to Xiaoshan Airport to pick up Nie Xiaoyu's parents and sister, and then visited Hangzhou.

There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. This sentence resounds throughout the land of China.

So I had a good time visiting the West Lake, arrived in Wuzhen last night, and checked into the Zhenshui Resort Hotel.

After breakfast today, they went out to play.

Naturally, the parents had a tour guide to take them around Wuzhen, while Cai Jin and Nie Xiaoyu walked on the ancient streets.

It was originally cloudy today, but it started to rain temporarily.

After buying an umbrella, the two took a walk in the rain, feeling the unique charm of Wuzhen, one of the six ancient towns in Jiangnan.

According to their plan, after attending the Internet Conference, they would go directly to Zhuhai to participate in the air show, and their family would also travel there to expand their horizons.

Walking in the rain, the two chatted about entertainment industry gossip.

Today is particularly strange, the entertainment industry continues to explode.

Last month it was revealed that all of Feite Zhao's works were finished, the films she directed were removed from the shelves, and her name was deleted from other works she participated in.

All kinds of negative news are flying everywhere.

As for this month, there are all kinds of big and small melons flying everywhere.

Cai Jindu suspected that these people were sacrificed, allowing ordinary people to focus on the gossip in the entertainment industry instead of various conflicts.

The Middle East is not peaceful recently. There will be explosions there today and explosions there tomorrow. People are dying almost every day.

Cai Jin thought about it, it would not be a bad idea to sacrifice these celebrities. At least it could divert attention to prevent the virgins from jumping out one by one.

Walking on the ancient streets, quaint houses, and gravel roads, holding an umbrella, holding my girlfriend's hand, strolling in the rain, chatting and gossiping.

Both of them were relaxed and in a good mood.

Laughter every now and then.

Cai Jin also somewhat understood why some people on the Internet said that visiting Wuzhen is a kind of sentiment and atmosphere.

This quaint town is a typical ancient water town of the Han people in the Jiangnan region. It completely preserves the style and pattern of the ancient water towns in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

The house is built along the river, with deep courtyards, heavy ridges and high eaves, antique style, stone paths, old wooden houses, and the clear smell of lake water.

It certainly has a unique flavor!

Boarding a small boat, the boatman on the bow paddles forward.

The boat was sailing very slowly and it was drizzling. The two of them admired the scenery on both sides of the river.

The cross-shaped inland river system divides the entire Wuzhen into four blocks: southeast, southeast and northwest. The locals call them "East Gate, South Gate, West Gate and North Gate" respectively.

Rafting on the West Lake is a completely different experience than rafting on the West Lake before.

"Hey, isn't that an alien?" Nie Xiaoyu said in surprise and pointed forward.

Cai Jinxunxun said.

On another ship, he saw an alien leisurely drinking tea from a teapot. There were a few people on the ship, but he didn't recognize them.

Presumably they were either bodyguards or family members of the aliens.

Cai Jin looked at the alien curiously.

He has a strange appearance, and any normal person would say he is an ugly man.

But most people in the world don't pay attention to his appearance.

Because this man has become a legend.

With his legendary entrepreneurial experience and the success of Alibaba, he and his Eighteen Arhats have left a mark on China’s reform and opening up for more than 40 years.

The idol of many young people is this alien, and they regard this alien as their life mentor.

In terms of speech level, if you look at the entire circle of big guys and bundle them together, they are probably comparable to aliens.

And this is when Jia Huyou has the third or fourth level of alien success.

Of course, there is a world of difference between the two. Jia Huyou can only keep saying that he will return to China next Thursday, while the alien has basically fulfilled all of his boasts.

However, in the past two years, the aliens have been in a bad situation.

First, he loudly claimed that "996 is a blessing", which caused him to be criticized. Later, Ant Financial was stopped from listing. "There are only aliens in the era, but there is no era of aliens."

Some things can be said but not said, and some things can be said but not done!

As a result, I was a little embarrassed.

"Boatman, stop!" The alien also saw Cai Jin and Nie Xiaoyu.

"Okay!" The boatman stopped immediately.

Cai Jin also asked the boatman to stop, and the two boats just stopped.

"Mr. Cai, welcome to Wuzhen!" The alien greeted him proactively.

Although they already knew Cai Jin, when they saw Cai Jin in person, the aliens were still shocked by Cai Jin's youth.

At the age of 24, he is in his prime, high-spirited and unstoppable.

Looking at myself again, I am almost sixty years old, and I am no longer young. Although there are still many things I want to do and things to do, when compared with the two, I already look old.

"Mr. Ma, I have long admired you!" Cai Jin had a smile on his face, but he seemed a little reserved.

After all, I have met too few big guys and I haven’t gotten used to it yet.

Cai Jin looked at the alien for a moment. This man who has been a prominent figure in the business circle for the past twenty years is not an exaggeration to say that he created China's e-commerce. Mobile payment can also be said to be a pioneer!

An innovator in the digital economy, this is the official evaluation and recognition of him!

I don’t know how many physical store operators gnashed their teeth with hatred whenever they mentioned the alien’s name, wishing they could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

But there are also countless people who have made a fortune through e-commerce, and they are grateful to him. And with a mobile phone in hand, you can travel throughout China without having to carry cash.

Just like just now, when taking the boat, the boatman had a QR code posted on the bow, and they scanned it to complete the payment!
