Chapter 1321 Influence and Potential Are Two Different Things

The topic in the small circle finally returned to Wu Tao's recent actions regarding Cisco.

In the United States, the impact of this incident was quickly suppressed, but in China it remains unabated.

Nian Zai had some positive influence on Huawei, so Wu Tao just let it go.

But I didn't expect that Liang Yancheng and An Dingguo would also talk about this matter, which was a bit unexpected.

As a result, the old and middle generations were chatting and using this matter to influence him.

"Xiao Wu, now you have become a big name in the Internet and investment circles. Don't underestimate your influence. So if some things are really pushed out of your hands, the chance of success is still very high."

Wu Tao couldn't help but smile slightly, as expected, this matter is not over yet.

After listening to Liang Yancheng's words, An Dingguo turned around and added, "Yeah, think about it. Even if you can't succeed in one fell swoop, it would be good to push this matter forward."

"Chief, Uncle An," Wu Tao leaned forward, "In the civilian market, the domestic software ecosystem is not alive at all. It is different from the semiconductor industry. It belongs to a high-end field where user habits and consumption have matured."

"... Without a suitable opportunity, if you push hard, the capital you need to invest is not a small amount, and you will get twice the result with half the effort."

Wu Tao originally did not intend to say these words, but now he can only say them all. "But I will consider taking advantage of appropriate opportunities to try and promote in specific market segments. It will not touch the civilian market for the time being. Under the premise, let’s make some attempts first.”

"...As for how far we can go, I can't guarantee it yet."

Hearing this, Liang Yancheng's old face showed some comfort.

As a leader who focuses on promoting new industries to promote economic development, he knows very well that it is impossible to do business without a profitable market.

"That's all we can do," Liang Yancheng nodded, "but this must be done as a national undertaking. In the long run, it will have very important strategic significance."

This tall hat covers it, it looks like that.

Wu Tao could only nod solemnly in agreement.

The small circle gathering lasted all afternoon. When leaving from the river, An Dingguo specially walked with Wu Tao.

On the way back in the car, Andinguo patted him and said, "Don't pay too much attention to the old chief's stubbornness. At his level, it is indeed too easy to get on top of things."

"I know." Wu Tao nodded with a smile, "But the old chief's vision is correct. This matter is indeed of strategic significance. We also mentioned this aspect in our earlier research on the localization of the semiconductor industry. "

An Dingguo felt relieved and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he said abruptly: "I have already expressed my feelings to the old chief. I don't want to go to the capital anymore."

Wu Tao's mind moved, and he turned around and looked at Comrade Lao An in astonishment. These words meant that Comrade Lao An's official position would stop at the highest local level.

But with his current rising momentum, he actually has great opportunities and potential to advance into the capital and the central government.

Comrade Lao An felt relieved when Wu Tao stared at him like this, "Don't look at me like that! If it weren't for you after all these years, I might still be living in that dumpster in Beijiang."

"...Moreover, in terms of family, I really owe you Aunt Jin and Rongrong a lot."

Does this mean that you have tasted the sweetness of family life and want to return to the family completely?

That night, when Wu Tao relayed these words to An Rong, he did not expect that the other party was not surprised at all.

"I heard from my mother that Comrade Lao An's consciousness has improved a lot recently. He often goes back for dinner. Even the way he looks at her has changed..."

The topics the mother and daughter talked about were indeed broad enough, and they even said this.

Wu Tao stopped talking and asked, "Did your speech go well today? How was the meeting?"

An Rong curled up her slender legs and sat down cross-legged on the sofa. She held a fragrant coffee in her hand and said without hesitation: "Don't worry, I will never embarrass you."

Wu Tao sat down relaxedly next to her, "What does this have to do with me? I'm just concerned about your performance, okay?"

"Why doesn't it matter?" An Rong turned sideways and said with stern eyes: "I heard that the chairman committee also invited you, but you didn't agree, right?"

"Uh..." Wu Tao scratched his head, "I can't keep up with my schedule, as you know."

"Anyway, Mr. Ding from NetEase, Mr. Ma from Alibaba, and Mr. Ma from Tencent all asked me about you." An Rong said angrily, "If Tianjing Wuyan hadn't helped me share some of the burden, I wouldn't have been able to do it. I’ll definitely be able to handle it.”

"Hey, Qiu Wuyan is here too?"

An Rong took a sip of her coffee and said with a circle of foam around her lips: "Of course, as the number one social networking site in the country, isn't it natural for her to participate?"

Wu Tao didn't say much, he just thought to himself that with Qiu Wuyan's demonic temperament, he came to Zhonghai silently.

There’s definitely some emotion involved.

"And you would never expect," An Rong continued, "this time, a foreign friend also talked to me about you eagerly."

Wu Tao raised his eyebrows, "Haha, foreign friends?"

Although the industry conference An Rong attended was different from the regular Internet conference in the middle of the year, the scope of participation was generally limited to domestic manufacturers and related companies.

There are actually foreign friends here?

Before he could figure it out, An Rong had already revealed the answer, "Cisco's CEO, Chambers!"

"...I'm still wondering. Didn't you guys just have a bad time in California? Why did this old man praise you so much when we met?"

Maybe this was the result of a few 'kind words' he said in front of Valen?

This is unknown.

However, Chambers came to China so quickly, which shows that his emphasis on the Chinese market is truly rooted in his heart.

While the two were chatting, the cell phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Wu Tao looked up and saw that it was Chen Junwei again.

After a slight hesitation, he picked up and said, "Brother Ang, I heard that you are in Zhonghai. I was talking to Brother Xiao and was going to have a drink with you."

"Okay," Wu Tao agreed happily, "I have been very busy today. I will wait for your call at any time."

"Ouch," Chen Junwei's tone suddenly softened, and even the resentment of the day's phone calls disappeared. "I won't disturb your reunion with your sister-in-law tonight. I will be the host at noon tomorrow, and we three brothers will have a good drink. One cup.”

Wu Tao said simply: "No problem! See you tomorrow, I just have something to talk to you about."

"Ah..." Chen Junwei was suddenly overjoyed, "Really, Angkor?"

"What, you still don't believe me? See you tomorrow!" After saying that, Wu Tao hung up the phone.

After hanging up Chen Junwei's call, Wu Tao changed his mind, found Qiu Wuyan's number, and dialed it, "If you are free during lunch tomorrow, wait for my notification!"
