"Given the current situation, there will definitely be more and more e-commerce websites in the country in the future, and traffic will become more and more scattered. So whoever can continuously get more traffic will be able to attract more consumers."

"And your website can keep generating traffic by producing good entertainment content through those internet celebrities, and this traffic will then convert into product sales. Just this point alone makes sites like Taobao no match for you in the future."

Zhang Jingdong was a bit surprised by Huang Xiuzhang at this moment.

Because he always felt that his strategy was ahead of the times for so many years, and most people would definitely not notice it. But now he suddenly realized that some people really could see things that would happen ten years or even more in the future.

No wonder this guy was able to build such a big company in his previous life; his vision is indeed ahead of its time.

He then said, "Mr. Huang, to be honest, being able to see this means your internet thinking has already surpassed at least 90% of internet company owners."

"That’s roughly how I think, indeed. Of course, to achieve this, we have a lot more work to do."

As he said this, he quietly gave Ye Jinyan a look.

Ye Jinyan immediately said, "We must all be hungry, right? Let’s order some food and chat while we eat."

He called the manager over, then said to Huang Xiuzhang, "Mr. Huang, please order."

Huang Xiuzhang quickly waved his hand, "That won’t do, Boss Zhang and Mr. Ye, you have traveled a long way, you are my distinguished guests, so you three must order."

Zhang Jingdong smiled and said, "I rarely eat seafood, so I don’t have much experience. Mr. Huang, you should order. After all, the most important thing about eating is that it tastes good; there’s no need to worry about guest and host distinctions."

Seeing that Zhang Jingdong wasn’t joking, Huang Xiuzhang immediately said, "Boss Zhang is indeed pragmatic. Alright, I’ll order."

He then picked up the menu and swiftly ordered a bunch of food and drinks.

Zhang Jingdong then took a sip of tea from his teacup and said, "This should be your Guangdong Province’s unique Phoenix Dancong, right?"

Huang Xiuzhang nodded with a smile, "Boss Zhang, you indeed have extensive knowledge. This tea is mostly consumed by us locals, and I didn’t expect you to even know this."

"I like tea, so I have some research on it. Our Huaxia is vast and diverse; the types and flavors of tea are also varied, always surprising me in different ways."

"This feeling is similar to doing business. There are so many industries out there, and each industry has so many companies, and each company has different operational methods, leading to varying outcomes."

At this point, Zhang Jingdong suddenly changed the topic: "Mr. Huang, you should know Steve Jobs, right?"

Zhang Jingdong was asking knowingly because he knew that Huang Xiuzhang had always been a die-hard fan of Steve Jobs.

His ability to make beautiful and simple Meizu MP3s back then was inspired by Jobs’ iPod.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Huang Xiuzhang got interested again, "Of course I know, and to be honest, I made MP3s back then because his iPod was successful."

Zhang Jingdong calmly asked, "Do you know what Steve Jobs is doing now?"

This time, Huang Xiuzhang hesitated for a good half-minute, then said, "I heard he is researching the next generation of mobile phones."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jinyan and Guan Le were instantly impressed by Zhang Jingdong’s unparalleled persuasion skills.

Especially Ye Jinyan.

As a professional investor, she often needed to persuade various entrepreneurs when encountering very promising projects.

Her previous success rate was over 90%, which was absolutely remarkable in the entire investment circle.

But this time during discussions with Huang Xiuzhang, she repeatedly hit obstacles. Although this situation was relatively special since she wasn’t investing in a project but rather collaborating with Huang Xiuzhang on a project.

She couldn’t understand where she hadn’t done well enough or hadn’t prepared enough, resulting in not being able to persuade Huang Xiuzhang.

But now she learned a bit from Zhang Jingdong, which was to make the collaborators reveal the promising project themselves by disclosing various information, and then gradually spark their interest in that project.

At this moment, she even felt that Zhang Jingdong’s probability of securing a deal with Huang Xiuzhang today was at least seventy percent.

So she couldn’t help but secretly add points to Zhang Jingdong in her mind.

Guan Le was also deeply shocked by Zhang Jingdong’s business acumen.

Spending time with Ye Jinyan recently, she deeply felt Ye Jinyan’s extremely high and mature business skills, and now she suddenly realized that Zhang Jingdong’s business abilities were even superior to Ye Jinyan.

Although she already knew that Zhang Jingdong had a particularly high business talent, she always thought that his talent was more in business management since he was the proper boss of a group company.

In terms of business negotiations, Ye Jinyan should be more adept because, as an investor, it is her expertise.

But now she unexpectedly found that Zhang Jingdong’s negotiation skills were also top-notch.

Just speaking of how he led Huang Xiuzhang to bring up the topic himself from the moment they met, this almost seamless chain of negotiation skills was more impressive than Ye Jinyan’s.

So she also secretly gave Zhang Jingdong additional points in her mind.

Seeing that Huang Xiuzhang was hooked, Zhang Jingdong immediately said, "Mr. Huang, if I may speak bluntly, how much longer do you think your MP3 business can last?"
