At the opening ceremony of the 2025 World Internet Conference in Wuzhen on November 7, JD.com's founder Richard Liu made a low-profile appearance.

In a candid moment, Liu first jokingly told reporters: "Make sure you take good photos of me." Moments later, he shyly added: "Stop taking my pictures, go photograph others instead."

When the topic shifted to work, Liu immediately switched to serious mode, stating he keeps close tabs on all tech companies and maintains private communication channels with the so-called "Six Little Dragons" - a term referring to China's rising tech startups.

The brief interaction offered rare glimpses into the tech mogul's public persona and business focus during the high-profile industry gathering.
