Chapter 79

After eating, I booked a fishing boat and watched the scenery along the river. The willows were swaying and the cool breeze was blowing. There were people walking in a hurry, some were sitting on the river bank and listening to the wind and watching the scenery, some were taking photos at will, and some were listening carefully to the tour guide's explanation.

Except for the crowds, everything is quiet. The water flows quietly, passing through the small bridge, flowing water, and others. The boatman sings the tune, and the boat floats by. He gets used to this fulfilling life of water floating, and lets the water ripple into a beautiful song.

The water houses living along the river open their windows and place blooming flowers on the windowsills, smelling the fragrance of flowers, the fresh and natural air, and listening to the crunching boats passing by the room.

Listening to the bustling people approaching and going away, they woke up in the quiet sound of running water, and fell quietly on the night when the lights were on...

"I envy the locals living in Wuzhen, envy their ancestors who can live in this paradise-like environment for generations, envy them for preserving the original but classic ancestors, envy them for being able to guard the old house every day and live the New Year like water..."

Qianqian leaned against Johnson and muttered to herself. When she was tired of walking, she took a break on the roadside. Looking at the scenery, pedestrians, shops, listening to the sound of footsteps of light walking, listening to the dialects of various places, listening to the sound of flowing water, is also a rare enjoyment.

Johnson couldn't help but sigh, unimaginable, what was the life of a wealthy family in Wuzhen like?

A life of having no worries about food and clothing every day, and a life of rich clothes and delicious food?

Or is it a busy business life every day?

Is it a life of quarrels and fights every day?

Or is it a life of family harmony and prosperity?

Until the evening, I lingered in the night view. I had to admit that Wuzhen is a paradise, a water town where you can enjoy the pastoral style, a small town where birds and flowers sing, and a town where you can enjoy the ink paintings given by nature, ancient houses, small bridges, flowing water, and others, everything is in the scroll.

Find a restaurant, order a dish of braised mutton in Wuzhen, drink a sip of three white wine made of specialty white rice, white flour and white water, and experience the artistic conception of lying drunk in the deep alleys of spring breeze and looking for fragrance to the east of the small bridge.

Guzhen sauce duck... Wuzhen white water fish... Zongxiang fragrant meat...

Dried stinky tofu...green dumplings...dingsheng cake...

Back at the hotel, standing in front of the window, looking at the night view of the water town, nine shallow and one deep, the clouds and rain in Wushan, with a unique artistic conception...

After having fun, the girl lay in her arms, took out her cell phone lazily, found a photo, and pretended to be mysterious: "You like food so much, did you hear of the top dinner in Wuzhen last year?"

Johnson Chan was stunned. Is there any hidden century-old brand here?

"Hahaha, I'm talking about the Internet Conference!" The girl said proudly: "Every year, the Internet Conference is strong and the Ding Lei dinner party is flowing. Since the first Internet Conference in 2014, NetEase boss Ding Lei has been acquiring games for four consecutive years, becoming bigger and bigger, and has been imitated by other bigwigs."

"Looking at this photo circulating on the Internet, the big guys were very satisfied with their meals. The dishes were very rich, including wine, meat, and cakes. Each of them was a rich man, and the combined net worth of a table was hundreds of billions!"

Johnson took the photo, enlarged it with his hands, and read the introduction and sorted clockwise from Penguin Little Ma Ge, JD.com Liu Qiangdong, Hillhouse Capital Zhang Lei, Didi Cheng Wei, Kuaishou Su Hua, Mobike Wang Xiaofeng, Meituan Wang Huiwen, Zhihu Zhou Yuan, 58  Yao Jinbo.

There are upstarts in the Internet, and here are Zhu Xiaohu, JD Finance Chen Shengqiang, Lenovo Yang Yuanqing, Sequoia Capital Chen Nanpeng, Today's Toutiao Zhang Yiming, Xiaomi Lei Jun, New Beauty Wang Xing.

Good guy, he doesn’t have a billion dollars in his net worth, and he’s embarrassed to even sit in a seat!

Especially in the C position, facing the gate is the most respected. The closer the host and guest are to the left and right positions, the more noble they are. The new richest man, Xiao Ma, with a net worth of 230 billion, is in charge, full of domineering.

Wang Huiwen and Qiangzi around him naturally became Little Ma Ge's right-hand man and sat in the throne closest to him. The two of them dressed very formally, wearing suits and tie.

Brother Ma was wearing only a gray T-shirt, which was very casual and relaxing. JD.com was on the left and Meituan was on the right. He was worthy of being the boss behind investing in these brands. Liu Qiangdong smiled kindly and was also drunk.

"You see, this is the New Year's dinner. Brother Ma and Robin Li are not present. The one who stands in the C position is the most eye-catching Yang Yuanqing of Lenovo."

Qianqian found another photo and commented: "Lei Jun's luminous forehead was a little eye-catching. When he took the photo, Sohu Zhang sat down schemingly, revealing only one head, otherwise he might have been drowned in the crowd."

"The most rare thing is that Brother Ma who fought fiercely in the 3Q battle and Zhou Hongyi from 360 finally sat on the same table. Should he smile and eliminate his grudges?"

Johnson laughed and asked curiously: "Where did you eat this?"

"I heard that it is called Zhaoming Shushe Restaurant. They are all uploaded online. Who knows the true or false?"

"Later, Lei Jun posted a photo on Weibo, saying it was the menu at that time." Qianqian took out another one and showed it: "The name is so interesting!"

Cold dishes Zhaoming eight cold dishes...

Hot dishes: Tencent Sihai Steamed Lobster, Meituan Liangchen Fresh Soup, JD Purple Snowflake Beef, Xiaomi Mi Fried Orange and Abalone, Mobike Panhai Grouper...

Johnson couldn't help but smile. The more noble the food the guests were, the more expensive the ingredients were. For example, Tencent = lobster, JD = snowflake beef, Lenovo = crab...

What comes later is basically vegetables, such as Kuaishou = winter melon, Zhihu = time vegetables?

All of them are named after the company, and there are sixteen dishes, including: Xiaomi, Tencent, Meituan, JD.com, Hillhouse, Lenovo, Toutiao, Worship, Kuaishou, 58.

The guys are really good at playing!

"There are also reporters posted online, saying that the bosses also played a game called "I Love You" VS. Maybe they can only say I love you to the person on the left, and they can't say shameless to the person on the right."

"Once someone says it wrong, you will be punished. The big guys who make money by seconds on weekdays are finally happy like stupid children."

"As a result, I was stunned the next day, especially Liu Qiangdong, who had several dinner parties all night. He was sleepy when he was doing serious business the next day and was caught by the reporter!"

The girl smiled so hard that the flowers were trembling, and the big baby was surging. Johnson couldn't help but hold it in his hand and played with it for a few times.

The total market value of all companies exceeds 5 trillion yuan. Online diners are called half of the Internet, and even the most expensive dinner in the Eastern Hemisphere.

From 2014 to the present, the number of participants in Ding Lei’s dinner has been increasing. In 2014, Ding Lei and Zhang Chaoyang and Chen Xiangyang and nine other bigwigs who had dinner together competed with two tables.

The lineup of dinners in 2015 expanded to 11 people, and in 2016, the number of participants further increased to 17 people, and two dining tables became three dining tables.

The Yangtze River is pushing the old waves forward, and the young and strong people keep appearing. In 2014, Ding Lei’s dinner party was all born in the 1960s and 1970s. By last year, there were a large number of Internet entrepreneurs born in the 1980s, including Zhang Yiming, Cheng Wei, Zhou Yuan.

In 2015, it was the world of traditional portal giants, and by 2016, it became a field of smartphones, life consumption, etc. that was expanded based on the portal.

In 2017, Mobike, Kuaishou, Didi and Zhihu appeared at dinner parties, representing the continuous growth of the consumer field, sharing economy, and content industry.

Some people also revealed the secret that the big guys tasted the pork, crabs, and Shaoxing rice wine raised by Ding Lei. Brother Ma was the best at drinking and was the best at urging him. Zhang Lei and Zhang Chaoyang talked about how to nourish themselves, and Cao Guowei revealed how he missed Yahoo back then...

That night, Yu Chengdong, Lei Jun, Zhou Hongyi, Yang Yuanqing and others made the dinner a mobile phone special meeting, forcing Ding Lei to forcefully stop:

Can you not talk about mobile phones?
