Chapter 446: Technological Development Must Not Be Empty Talk (Part 1)

Zhao Qingfeng spoke eloquently on the stage.

He made a stark comparison between the amount of online rumors and illegal activities involving drugs, gambling, and prostitution on LeXin, using official data, and Tencent.

According to statistics, Tencent, due to its lack of a real-name system, had 159% more various illegal information on QQ than LeXin.

This was only temporary, as criminals found triggering LeXin’s alarms costly and had increasingly reverted to QQ. If not curbed, future criminal activities would only increase.

This had happened in the past.

Many people posted numerous fake orders, solicitation, and gambling information in QQ groups, scamming countless people out of their hard-earned money.

Against this stark contrast, Ma Huateng felt disgraced and shivered with anger. However, when he tried to stand up and rebut, Ding Sanshi firmly held him back.

“What are you doing?”

Ding Sanshi frowned, “Ma Huateng, Zhao Qingfeng is now a participant in the 863 Program. His tone suggests a leadership role. If you stand up to rebut now, you’re not just opposing his Lingfeng Technology but the Ministry of Information Industry of the country. Are you crazy?”

Anyone with clear eyes could see that the professors and experts present all looked at Zhao Qingfeng with admiration.

“Damn it!”

Ma Huateng was almost furious, “Old Ding, when did he become a member of the 863 Program? Damn, it’s enough that he’s been pressing down on me in regular business competition, and now he’s surpassing me in status too! He’s boldly comparing our company’s data with his, what do you want me to do!”

He wanted to accuse Zhao Qingfeng of data theft.

But the leaders had already clarified beforehand that all the data came from official statistics.

Ma Huateng was itching with frustration, unable to do anything but watch Zhao Qingfeng look towards him with a smug expression from time to time, continuing to announce the benefits of the ‘real-name system’ for purifying the internet to everyone.

Chen Daqiao was very pleased, thinking highly of Zhao Qingfeng for not deceiving him earlier.

Thus, when Zhao Qingfeng finished speaking, his applause was the most enthusiastic.

Next.

Zhao Qingfeng then talked about the main event, which was the speculation on the development of the domestic internet economy over the next twenty years.

Ma Huateng looked disdainful.

Ding Sanshi paid no attention.

It could be said that except for a few official personnel and Shen Lingyao, including Chen Daqiao, nobody believed what Zhao Qingfeng said, as it sounded too fantastical, almost like a fairy tale.

“Based on my analysis of domestic and international internet situations, I preliminarily guess that within the next five years, the system of China’s internet information services industry will gradually be established. Major internet companies in search engines, e-commerce, instant messaging, and social networking services will rise by taking advantage of the situation. The business models in major fields such as internet access, internet marketing, e-commerce, and online gaming will also begin to take shape. Within five years, the total number of online netizens in China will exceed one hundred million, at least rising to the second in the world.”

“Five years later, as broadband network construction becomes a national strategy, the number of netizens will definitely continue to rise. Online retail and social networking services will become highlights of industrial development, and the rise of mobile internet will also drive the internet into a new phase of development.”

“By the year 2012, it is expected that we should have embarked on a new journey of technology development, such as mobile chips, smart terminals, cloud computing, big data, satellite navigation, and other major fields.”

“The so-called army does not move without grain first, so I want to remind everyone here, with the rise of our Lingfeng Technology, the domestic internet industry will welcome a significant strategic opportunity. I hope everyone can start with integrating innovative new methods, focusing on national security and long-term development, and further strengthen top-level design.”

“The last word.”

“To sum up, it is to adhere to the leadership of the Party, serve the people, open cooperation, drive innovation, play the principal role of enterprises, and give equal importance to security and development. Let us together maintain the security and development of the national internet, hoping that everyone can keep pace with Lingfeng Technology in the future.”
