by DewdropTL — Throughout the entire morning after parting ways, Jing Hong and Zhou Chang were separated. Zhou Chang attended a sub-forum on cloud computing, while Jing Hong attended another. They met again when having lunch in the hotel restaurant. This time, each brought several subordinates and sat at separate tables. They only glanced at each other from a distance, neither greeting the other. The hotel served Western food for lunch. Zhou Chang realized that during the meal, his gaze unconsciously drifted…

by DewdropTL — After arriving at the hotel, Jing Hong realized that neither he nor Zhou Chang had chosen the official hotel. Instead, by coincidence, they had both checked into a different one. The hotel they selected was located at the intersection of the two rivers, boasting an exceptional view. It had only two luxury suites, both on the top floor; Fanhai and Qinghui had each booked one, so their suites were right next to each other. After sleeping a night at the hotel, Jing Hong left early the next morning to…

by DewdropTL — With Fanhai powerless to reverse the situations regarding Xindong Media and Feichi Motors, Jing Hong naturally put them out of his mind. A few days later, Jing Hong had to travel to Chongqing to attend a highly important event—the China International Intelligent Industry Expo, commonly known as the "Smart China Expo." The Smart China Expo was jointly hosted by over a dozen ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform…

by DewdropTL — After returning from the AI Developer Conference, Jing Hong’s attention was once again drawn to "Xindong Media." He and Zhao Hanqing analyzed Qinghui's true underlying motive once more, but they were still entirely at a loss. Because of Zhou Chang's forceful intervention in the Xindong Media acquisition, Jing Hong felt a considerable amount of pressure. He consistently felt a sense of unease. Perhaps precisely because the pressure was somewhat heavy, over the next few days, the frequency with…

by DewdropTL — After watching for a while, Zhou Chang entered through the back door of the venue. Once again, he leaned somewhat lazily against the wooden wall paneling at the very back of the room, gazing at Jing Hong on the stage in the distance. As the speech was drawing to a close, Jing Hong’s assistant, Tan Qian, walked up to Zhou Chang with a phone in hand and politely greeted, "Mr. Zhou." Zhou Chang shifted his gaze from Jing Hong on the stage to Tan Qian beside him, letting out a casual syllable:…

by DewdropTL — The second day of the World Internet Conference quickly drew to a close as well. That evening, Jing Hong did not attend the private dinner hosted by the CEO of "Weilai," choosing instead to fly directly back to Beijing on a commercial flight—and Zhou Chang did the exact same thing. After returning to Beijing, the two occasionally bumped into each other or crossed paths in business skirmishes. First came Fanhai forcing its way into Qinghui’s exclusive deal with the community group-buying app…

by DewdropTL — Not long after, a major event occurred on Fanhai's side. "Feichi Motors," an new energy vehicle company that Fanhai had previously invested in, officially launched its first mass-production model.

Fanhai Group had led its Series A funding round in January 2015, followed by Tiantong Securities leading its Series B in June 2015. In June 2016, it raised another round of funding from investors including Fanhai and IDG. Now,…

by DewdropTL — The second day of the World Internet Conference also passed quickly. On this day, when Jing Hong ran into Zhou Chang again, his demeanor was business as usual. Yet, when the two sat side by side listening to speeches at the main forum, Jing Hong would somehow inexplicably recall that moment they had turned their heads at the exact same time that morning—as if certain subtle emotions were still lingering within the ink landscape paintings of the art museum. At the time, Jing Hong hadn't called out a…

by DewdropTL — After resting for a night, early the next morning, Jing Hong suddenly felt a desire to wander around this historic town he had never visited before. Without having his assistants tag along, Jing Hong left the hotel alone. He had brought four or five people with him for the World Internet Conference this time, but the small town was actually quite large, with the scenic areas split into the West Grid (Xizha) and East Grid (Dongzha). Experiencing all of it would take at least a few hours, yet they were…

by DewdropTL — On the first day of the conference, besides delivering a speech at the main forum, Jing Hong also gave a speech at a sub-forum. Zhou Chang did much the same, except his sub-forum speech was substituted with a sub-forum panel discussion. In the evening, the conference organizers hosted a reception banquet. Jing Hong arrived a bit late, and quite a few people were already seated around several tables. Seeing Jing Hong from afar, the CEO of a certain company immediately stood up, flattering and…
