Inside the Shencheng Five Continents Hotel, the vast conference hall was brilliantly lit.
Reporters, some shouldering video cameras and others holding DSLRs, busily adjusted their focus, their lenses trained on the four people on stage.
The moderator had long since stepped aside, leaving the stage to Chen Yansen, Ma Wenteng, Ma Liyun, and Li Yanhong.
Li Yanhong glowered at Chen Yansen, who was seated diagonally across from him, and felt a surge of irritation. Taking a deep breath, he continued the previous topic and responded,
"What Mr. Ma means is that compared to a decade ago, the internet industry has undergone tremendous changes. Entrepreneurship and competition can no longer rely on the old free-to-use models. Instead, we should focus on creating value and finding new business models and competitive advantages.
"However, I'd like to borrow another of Mr. Ma's sayings: You still have to have dreams. What if they come true?"
