Chapter 269: 265. Zhang Ran Discusses the Ecosystem (Seeking Monthly Votes at the End of the Month!)

In fact, some people have already put forward these concepts of Zhang Ran's, but they have not received much attention.

The current internet industry is actually still in a state of mutual competition, and it has not yet reached the time for land-grabbing.

After musing a little about the future, Zhang Ran turned the topic back, "Actually, for internet enterprises wanting to develop and grow now, the most suitable route should be to form the entire company into a complete ecosystem."

"This ecosystem is crucial in the upcoming competition because it can allow you to be subject to fewer constraints and maintain strong competitiveness in future competition."

"What is an ecosystem? I believe many people have thought about this, but due to the current situation, everyone is focused on competing with each other and hasn't spent too much time carefully considering this issue."

Ling Hua and the others nodded thoughtfully; indeed, their main energy is currently basically placed on how to compete with their rivals.

Take their Weiteng Games for example; Huaxia is not dominated by them alone, as there is also Shengcheng Games playing the rival to them, and much of the time, their main energy must be placed on the opponent's side.

They have also considered the issue of an ecosystem somewhat, but that is all, because the timing is not right.

To truly perfect the entire company's ecosystem, one must let the company stabilize completely—not to say having no rivals, but at the very least, it must be stable in the fields one is most proficient in; one cannot drag the whole company down because of the need to perfect the ecosystem.

Such a thing is something they do not allow to happen.

Moreover, their understanding of an ecosystem is not very profound; they were just subconsciously thinking in this direction.

Zhang Ran is clear about all of this; he has gained an understanding of these things during this period, which is why he talked about this today.

Many things are actually only thought about after reaching a certain stage; without reaching that stage, they will not put much energy into it.

Next, Zhang Ran elaborated on his understanding of an ecosystem, as well as the benefits after an ecosystem is perfected, making the eyes of some people below flicker.

Zhang Sicheng looked at his dad standing on the stage speaking eloquently, especially seeing those big shots sitting in the front row listening very seriously, and the pride in his heart became more and more obvious.

Wang Tao on the side was also somewhat excited; he had known beforehand that he might have latched onto a big shot, but he didn't expect the big shot to be this thick!

"I didn't say all this just for those 'rich dogs' in the audience; others can also develop in this direction," Zhang Ran said with a chuckle.

As soon as these words came out, some laughter immediately came from the venue; Ling Hua and the others were very helpless—we are 'rich dogs', aren't you one too?

Is this scolding others while scolding oneself in as well?

"Everyone can think carefully: if you fill in a part of their company's ecosystem, will they directly acquire you, or choose to start a new company to compete with you?"

"Moreover, at that time, these big shots will also provide great support; this can also be considered an alternative type of partner, though the pros and cons of this need to be weighed by everyone yourselves."

"Alright, that's all for today; I hope everyone won't blame me for being long-winded."

After Zhang Ran finished speaking, he prepared to step off the stage, but when he put down the microphone, warm applause immediately erupted in the venue.

Although there were many things in Zhang Ran's speech that seemed empty to them, if one thought about it carefully, Zhang Ran actually said many useful things.

Not to mention anything else, just when Zhang Ran was using examples to explain, he simply depicted how some enterprises expand their ecosystems.

Just like what he said at the end, some entrepreneurs can completely start from this aspect; although it is said that there is a suspicion of being 'harvested like leeks' in the end, this is not ordinary leeks—once successful, they will also obtain huge benefits from it, and even transform themselves into partners of these enterprises.

Zhang Ran walked off the stage, not going to find Ling Hua and the others first, but instead came to the Shanghai Government side.

After chatting for a few sentences, the people there nodded, indicating understanding.

Zhang Ran had no other purpose; he just didn't want his photo to be in the news. He still prefers to stay behind the scenes, or rather, he doesn't like being a public figure.

That way, he would be uncomfortable wherever he goes in the future; if he wants to go anywhere with his grandson and granddaughter, he would likely be surrounded by people—this is not the life Zhang Ran wants.

After what just happened, the people from the Shanghai Government were also very willing to give Zhang Ran this face; after all, it wasn't a big deal.

Moreover, they were also somewhat curious about Zhang Ran; how come they had never seen this person before?

If it weren't for today's scene, they wouldn't have known that such a thing existed either.

Next, several more big shots took the stage to share some of their own concepts regarding the internet, but many people thanked Zhang Ran when they took the stage.

This also made many people increasingly understand Zhang Ran's status in the hearts of these people.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the event here finally ended, but this conference had only just begun.

This Internet Conference lasts for three days, and the next two days will be for small-circle exchanges.

Even the evenings will not be idle; there is a banquet held here in the evening, which is to provide a venue for everyone to communicate.

However, for this banquet, people like Zhao Lifeng and Ling Hua will not participate, but will instead gather together for small-circle exchanges.

Zhang Sicheng did not stay on Zhang Ran's side, but came outside; he had stayed there at first, but quickly discovered that he couldn't get a word in at all, and much of what those people were saying left him feeling confused.

He simply came outside to see if he could find some good projects to cooperate on.

Zhang Sicheng's mood was also somewhat excited at this moment; he had not yet recovered from the scene in the afternoon.

However, very quickly, Zhang Sicheng had no heart to think about these things, because as soon as he appeared at the banquet scene, he was surrounded by people.

Many people had actually discovered that Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Ran looked very much alike, and added to Zhang Sicheng's initial intimacy with Zhao Lifeng and Ling Hua, it immediately made these people guess correctly.

So everyone wanted to get to know Zhang Sicheng, or at the very least, get familiar with his face.

It was Zhang Sicheng's first time encountering such a situation, and he was somewhat flustered for a moment, but fortunately, he had Wang Tao's help on the side, and even Lu Xin ran over to help ease Zhang Sicheng's situation.

Lu Xin's social skills were truly outstanding; she quickly stabilized the situation that had left Zhang Sicheng somewhat flustered.

On Zhang Ran's side, the exchange with Zhao Lifeng and the others began, but at first, everyone was just reminiscing and did not directly talk about business.
