How does Ding Yan and Zhang Chaoyang invite people to eat and start a business?

At the end of 20xx, I met Ding Lei, Zhang Chaoyang, Mao Daolin and Rebecca in less than a month. Among them, I was invited by two heavyweights, Ding Lei and Rebecca, to have dinner at the same table as a guest. Of course, this is not because I am a big shot, but because the PC company I served at that time happened to be the advertiser that the three major portals needed to win. According to Intel's regulations, Intel inside's advertisements must have a relatively fixed proportion on the Internet, which makes every PC company have an advertising fee waiting to be invested in online media, so the three major portals regard PC companies as their best customers.

20xx is the low tide of Internet; At that time, Sina, Sohu and Netease had a hard time. At that time, everyone didn't know that in addition to advertising, SMS online games and the like, they could make money, and they didn't know when they could make a profit. In addition, each of the three companies has its own crisis. Netease's share price has been hovering at one dollar for a long time, facing the risk of delisting; Sina has just driven away Wang Zhidong, Rebecca has just been pushed to the front desk, and everything is in ruins; Sohu has nothing but Zhang Chaoyang's programs, and is recognized as the most featureless portal.

If I remember correctly, the first people I met were Rebecca and Mao Daolin. Among them, Elvis Presley may just hold a media meeting in Guangzhou. Rebecca invited our general manager to dinner, and I was the guest. Later, Zhang Chaoyang wanted to hold a customer meeting in Guangzhou and release the so-called new advertising form, so he stopped by Malaysia to visit our company. Ding Lei may never have thought that he would come forward to pull advertisements, but after I told Sina Sohu, the salesman of Netease, that all the responsible persons came forward in person, he was dragged by the salesman to invite us to dinner, perhaps in a hurry, so he had to take his girlfriend to dinner, yes, his girlfriend in Taiwan Province Province.

Ding Lei

I don't know what others think, but I think Ding Lei is quite straightforward and frank, but not necessarily easy-going. Ding Lei expresses his views with confidence and seldom hides anything. But I think it is this straightforward personality that makes it easy for people who are used to deception and lies in shopping malls to become friends with him. Of course, I don't have this qualification.

Ding Lei invited us to a Japanese restaurant on the first floor of Guangzhou CITIC Plaza. When we arrived, he had already got there before us. Recently, the marriage between Ding Lei and Zhang Chaoyang has caused a wide debate on the Internet. Zhang Chaoyang just got married, so it is estimated that more people want to know who Ding Lei's girlfriend is. I think I should be one of the few people who have seen Ding Lei's Girlfriend in Taiwan Province Province. Why did Ding Lei take her with him? I still don't know. I guess maybe Ding Lei happened to be with his girlfriend during this time, but he couldn't be dragged out to meet his clients. In order not to break his promise to his girlfriend, he had to come together.

Because Ding Lei was sitting there when we met, it was difficult to estimate his exact height. I estimate that he is about 1.7 meters tall, slightly fat and has a big face, just like the photos seen in many places.

After a simple greeting, everyone began to deliberately find some topics to talk about. Generally speaking, the atmosphere is good, especially under the leadership of Ding Lei, and there is little rhetoric. Of course, although Ding Lei came for advertising, the two sides never talked about this topic from beginning to end. Ding Lei has already made a statement, not to mention the rest.

What impressed me deeply was that Ding Lei said shortly after meeting: "It is not easy for your low-tech PC to achieve this scale." We don't hide our opinions at all, because we are in the PC business. Our general manager also introduced the difference between mass production and ordinary DIY to Ding Lei in detail, so I won't say much here.

I specifically asked Ding Lei about the advertising production of Netease's The Power of Gathering People Online. Ding Lei admitted that it did cost more than one million yuan, but he thought the advertisement was valuable and effective.

We also had a brief chat with Ding Lei's girlfriend about the Internet in Taiwan Province Province, such as which is the biggest portal in Taiwan Province Province. It should be said that Ding Lei's girlfriend is not very beautiful, but has the temperament of a good family. And she came to eat Japanese food because she likes it better. Japanese food has always been very expensive, not to mention eating in this shop. Of course, as Ding Lei, this is nothing at all. As for what to eat specifically, I won't introduce it here.

When he left, Ding Lei specially gave us three movie tickets for Harry Potter, and especially recommended that he thought the film was really good.

Ding Lei is a man with great business vision and courage. This can be proved from his earliest introduction of free e-mail, his decisive action, and then the first to see the commercial value of SMS and online games. Many people say that Ding Lei will be a successful businessman even if he doesn't do the Internet. After he became an Internet user, he became the most accurate person to grasp the pulse of the Internet in China so far.

Can this be seen from the way he treats his guests? I think so, too. Since this customer is valuable, we will do it vigorously, and we are willing to invest in the process of doing it, and we have done a lot of work in all aspects.

Yan Wang

At that time, Rebecca succeeded Wang Zhidong as the general manager soon (this is the title on Rebecca's business card I saw, and according to the information on his resume, he was already the president). Therefore, visiting customers everywhere should be his main job.

Rebecca invited guests to a Cantonese restaurant near guangzhou east railway station. This restaurant is not low-end, but it is not a high-end restaurant in Guangzhou.

Like Mao Daolin, Rebecca is very high, estimated to be above 1.85 meters. Rebecca and Ding Lei are very different in speaking style. Start Sina's achievements and development plan as soon as we meet, and rarely stop to listen to others.

Of course, the most surprising thing is the order, except for a fish, which seems to be like a fish-flavored eggplant pot and a green vegetable castle. I have never seen such a high-level meeting without a high-level main course. Finally, the total price should be within 200 yuan and RMB.

Of course, the food was ordered by a subordinate of Rebecca, but it was obviously approved by him.

I don't know much about Yan Wang, but judging from the way he treats his guests, he has the style of a Taiwan Province company, talks about many ideas and rarely pays real benefits. Of course, Rebecca is only a senior wage earner, and it is also appropriate to pay attention to economy, but this seems to be out of line with the national conditions, although it should be admitted that the food that day was delicious.

Zhang Chaoyang

Unlike the other two I met in the restaurant, Zhang Chaoyang came to visit our company first. Zhang Chaoyang doesn't talk much, but he feels very simple, which is actually very different from the image of showing off everywhere.

Zhang Chaoyang was holding a reception for advertisers in Guangzhou, so he invited us to the reception during that visit. After the visit, the sales staff of Sohu strongly invited us to attend the meeting and said that Zhang Chaoyang really wanted to see it again.

Zhang Chaoyang's customer reception is set in a club in the suburbs of Guangzhou. Of course, Guangzhou, where this club is located, is still well-known and has a very high grade. But after we went, we found that it was actually just a press conference, mainly to release some news about Sohu's online advertisements. We were already sitting there before the press conference officially started, but Zhang Chaoyang never showed up. Although there will be a dinner after the meeting, it has long been meaningless to us. So we left soon after Zhang Chaoyang finished speaking. During the whole meeting, Zhang Chaoyang had many opportunities to greet us, but obviously he didn't really recognize us. What he said during his visit yesterday was purely out of habit. Of course, Zhang seems to have specially invited our general manager in Beijing, and the relationship between them is still good.

The essence of Zhang Chaoyang is very simple, but it seems easy to show off too much and forget the root. Is this similar to his treat style this time?
