Rebirth of the Wild Age - chapter 720
This year’s Boao Forum, the first project is golf. In fact, it is to set up a golf club to provide a platform for free exchanges for those Chinese and foreign business elites.
Song Weiyang didn’t go to play golf. He only flew to Qiong Island that afternoon, and arrived there just in time for the reception dinner.
In fact, the forum officially started in the afternoon. A roundtable meeting of young leaders was held. Participants came from all walks of life. There were young Chinese and foreign officials participating, as well as media professionals like Bai Yansong, and business elites such as Ding Sanshi, Shen Nanpeng, and Huo Da Gongzi. The topic they discussed was “environmental protection and development.”
The real estate industry forum was held in the evening. The keynote speaker was the small target Da Lao Wang. Pan Shiyi, Wang Shitou, Ren Dazui, etc. attended, and some officials from related departments participated.
Ren Dazui was scammed by the media this time. His original intention was: social security and market distribution should be given equal importance. The social security system is to allow people who cannot afford a house to live in, such as low-rent housing, affordable housing, and so on. But it is by no means to give people who can’t afford a house a good house. If they can’t afford a house but still live comfortably, it will disrupt the order of market distribution.
The headline of the media report was: “Ren Dazui: The government can’t let people who can’t afford a house live comfortably.”
This news was posted on the Internet that night and became a hot topic on the first day of the Boao Forum. Many netizens just saw the title and started spraying in the comment area. Anyway, they are used to it, and will continue to spray with big mouth for more than ten years-this guy always says something that is prone to ambiguity, and Chiguoguo’s station Speak from the perspective of real estate developers.
The next morning, a lot of group forums were held at the same time.
There is a green energy forum. The speaker is a gringe (President of Ogilvy Group Asia Pacific), and the participants are chief executives of oil and automobile companies. There were also some Chinese and foreign officials participating, such as Iran’s Deputy Minister of Petroleum.
There is a forum for the telecommunications industry, and the speaker is the boss of the Ministry of Information Industry. The CEO of China Mobile, the chairman of India’s Tata Group, the chief strategy officer of Microsoft, and Shen Fuxing, CEO of China Technology, attended the forum and expressed their opinions.
There are also many small forums on financial reform, corporate responsibility, world trade, etc. Song Weiyang saw a lot of acquaintances, but he did not participate in any of the forums.
The big leader came at noon that day. Song Weiyang was fortunate enough to be summoned and called to the lounge to talk for a full 15 minutes.
In the afternoon, a bunch of small group forums were held at the same time, among which there were many acquaintances and thieves in the Internet forums.
Sogou CEO Ding Ming was the guest speaker, and Samsung’s vice chairman, Ma Xiaoyun, Xiao Ma Ge, Zhang Chaoyang and others attended. Although Zhang Chaoyang was slapped to care about Sohu videos, he is still the nominal Sohu CEO, and he is attending all such public events on behalf of Sohu.
There was a party that night, and Song Weiyang was full of people.
In fact, his main activities in the past two days are dealing with entrepreneurs from all walks of life, while also communicating with some officials at home and abroad.
On the third day of the forum, the 30-year round table of reform and opening up. Most media reporters are prohibited from entering this venue. Only official media reporters can take photos, but they are prohibited from video recording the entire process.
There are three people sitting on the stage, one is Chen Weihong, the host of CCTV Finance, one is scholar-type official Chi Fu Lin, and the other is Delek Global CEO Kuilijie (a foreigner). The others were sitting down, with a microphone in front of each, and more than two hundred Chinese and foreign entrepreneurs and scholars participated.
Song Weiyang met Ma Xiaoyun outside the venue: “Old Song, why didn’t you participate in the Internet forum yesterday?”
“It’s okay if you have you. I’m just an Internet investor.” Song Weiyang laughed.
During their journey, the two met many entrepreneurs, including the CEOs of many state-owned enterprises such as CNOOC and China Mobile.
Song Weiyang was placed in the middle right seat. On the left was Director Fan of the National Economic Research Institute, on the right was old friend Liu Yonghao, and Ma Xiaoyun was in the second row.
The three hosts on the stage soon chatted, reviewing and evaluating China’s achievements in the 30 years of reform and opening up.
“We are now making a small game,” said Chen Weihong. “There are four animals: elephant, tiger, monkey and eagle. If you want to choose one as your corporate image, which one will the CEOs here choose? Start with Mr. Wang Bar.”
Mr. Wang of China Mobile smiled and said, “I choose Elephant.”
Chen Weihong asked: “Why?”
Mr. Wang explained: “The elephant’s image is kind, very stable, non-aggressive, and helpful. This is like China. China will soon become the world’s third largest economy. Although it is very large, China It’s still a developing country. Mobile companies are also developing and they are very large. While we are developing, we will also develop with Chinese society and the Chinese people. Moreover, the elephant is the largest land animal in the world, and I hope to move one day The company can also be the number one in the world.”
Chen Hongwei asked several questions in a row, and then asked Song Weiyang, “Where is Boss Song?”
“It’s also an elephant,” Song Weiyang said, “but I have a different opinion from Mr. Wang. Elephants are very aggressive animals. As long as they invade the elephant’s territory, the elephant will inevitably destroy it. The same is true for my business philosophy. Under normal circumstances, I develop steadily and will not take the initiative to provoke others. We live together peacefully and make progress together. But if anyone infringes on my territory, I will not compromise.”
“People don’t offend me, I don’t offend people.” Chi Fulin concluded.
“Right.” Song Weiyang said.
Chen Hongwei asked: “Where is Boss Ma?”
Ma Xiaoyun said: “I choose the monkey. I don’t want to be the first. The bigger the company, the greater the responsibility. We have to help more small and medium-sized enterprises and private enterprises. Let us be happy monkeys together.”
President Wei of China COSCO Group said: “I choose Eagle. Companies should be like eagles, occupy the high ground and have insight into everything.”
About 20 entrepreneurs were selected to make the choice, and Chen Weihong began to move on to the next link: telling the most memorable first time he has experienced in the 30 years of reform and opening up.
This topic is much more lively, and entrepreneurs have spoken one after another, all sorts of memory of bitterness and sweetness, all kinds of emotions of the past.
When it was Song Weiyang’s turn, he smiled and said, “No one is the most memorable first. I regard every choice as the first. Maybe it’s because I’m too young to like memories. And my business still has a long way to go in the future.”
What I said was purely showing off. The entrepreneurs present were all older than Song Weiyang, and none of them were as rich as Song Weiyang.
“Where is Mr. Liu?” Chen Hongwei asked.
Liu Yonghao first reviewed his entrepreneurial experience, and then said: “There are many firsts in my life. My next first is to fulfill my social responsibilities. I plan to invest 100 million yuan to help 100 businesses in 3 years. In the village, a pig, chicken, and fish farming cooperative will be established to unite farmers to form an industrial chain system. At the same time, I will also prepare a guarantee company to solve the problem of financing difficulties for farmers.”
Song Weiyang interrupted suddenly: “Brother Liu, don’t let the environmental experts hear what you said.”
“Ha ha ha ha!”
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
This is not a sham, but in the forum two days ago, four foreigners promoted the concept of vegetarianism and called on people all over the world to eat less meat.
One is the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize last year, one is the chairman of Philips, one is the representative of the United Nations Development Program in China, and the other is an expert on animal husbandry in Japan. They all say that eating too much meat affects the environment, leading to a sharp increase in carbon dioxide emissions, and it will be harmful to their own health.
Liu Yonghao said: “Those people just got enough food! In the 1980s and 1990s, how many farmers in China subsidized their households by raising chickens. Especially for chickens, many rural children counted on eggs to increase nutrition. There is also pig raising. The teacher in the countryside urged the tuition fees. The student’s most frequent answer was: “My mother said, I will pay the tuition when the fat pigs are sold at home!” I don’t eat meat anymore. Whom the farmers sell the pigs to, and what do they rely on? Pay the tuition?”
“Good point!” President Chen of Qiongdao Airlines applauded and cheered.
Soon to the next session, each person showed a photo, posted the photo on the exhibition wall, and told the story behind the photo.
Oops, my god, this thing is too sensational, it’s almost like “Art Life”, the scene seems to be a reminiscence meeting. It’s all about how difficult and miserable I was back then, how I broke through the obstacles and succeeded, and I must emphasize the help brought by the correct decision of the central government.
Song Weiyang found out that he shouldn’t have come, this is a group of old men remembering the past collectively!
Wang Shitou, Pan Yiyi, they all said how difficult it was to do real estate back then. They were already on the verge of bankruptcy, and they didn’t come into operation until the central government opened up the real estate market.
What Ma Xiaoyun showed was a photo of the Great Wall. It was the photo of him traveling to the Great Wall with his team when he was about to leave Beijing to start a business. It immediately extended the huge impact of China’s reform and opening up and economic development on the e-commerce industry.
Song Weiyang came to the stage with a smile and posted a photo on the display wall. He immediately explained: “This is the first successful photo of China’s first PHS RF chip, and it is also China’s first successful commercial mobile phone RF chip. At that time. China Science and Technology relies on the PHS business, and its business has just started. However, we put our money into scientific research projects as much as possible, and now we have realized the self-production of baseband chips for China’s smart phones…”
Hearing this, Mr. Ren in the audience suddenly smiled bitterly. Now the head of the Shenzhou baseband chip project team is the employee who left Huawei in the past.
“Technology is the primary productive force,” Song Weiyang was still pretending to be there. “Last year, China’s smartphones were launched in China for nine months, with a cumulative sales volume of 3.53 million units. After three months of listing in the United States, the cumulative sales volume was 870,000 units. Sales exceeded 25 billion yuan! How did this happen? Because we are committed to scientific research and innovation, the Shenzhou smart phone project alone has invested more than 2 billion yuan in research and development funds! Chinese companies must practice their internal skills if they want to develop. Enhance one’s own scientific research strength and innovation ability…”
The entrepreneurs present don’t want to talk anymore. It’s obvious that everyone is thinking about their bitterness and sweetness. What do you mean by running to show off your results?
Especially President Li of TCL and President Ren of Huawei. Both of them have suffered miserable losses in the field of mobile phones. They both invested a lot of money but were unable to occupy the market. On the other hand, Shenzhou Technology, only that smartphone, sold for 9 months in China and 3 months in the United States, has a single product annual sales of 25 billion!
People are more angry than people.
And other entrepreneurs are also shocked and inexplicable, because Shenzhou Technology is not a listed company, and all kinds of data do not need to be disclosed to the public. They only know that China’s smart phones are selling hot, they only know that China’s technology is making a lot of money, but they didn’t expect the real data to be so scary.
Those friends who also made mobile phones, not only Huawei and TCL, but also other brands, were shocked to speak at this time.
Let’s put it this way, last year’s China sales of smart phones in China only accounted for 12.6% of China’s total sales of China’s mobile phones, but accounted for 60% of total sales.
Counting it down, China sold 24 million ordinary mobile phones in China last year. The average price of each mobile phone was only 570 yuan, and the profit margin was ridiculously low—this is the norm in the industry, including Lenovo, Huawei, and TCL. condition!
“Papa Papa!”
Envy belongs to envy, speechless to speechless, applause is still to be given.
The reporters who were allowed to come in to observe (not interview) quickly recorded this set of data in a small notebook and published it on the portal that evening. The annual sales of China’s smart phones are 25 billion yuan, which immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens, and even experts from all walks of life came to join in the fun.
A netizen’s point of view is very unique. He complained on the Tianya forum: “This **** 5800 mobile phone actually sold more than 3.5 million units in China in nine months. Where are so many rich people in China?”
The answer is that there are rich people everywhere.
As soon as the meeting ended, Song Weiyang received various invitations, all to invite him to dinner and play ball to connect with each other.
The official staff of the Boao Forum specially called the entrepreneurs together and divided them into several groups for group photos. Among hundreds of entrepreneurs, Song Weiyang will always stand in the C position, and Mr. Liu is often next to him.
Mr. Liu’s memory of bitterness and sweetness today is also in place. He said that when he first started his business, he was riding a bicycle and selling goods, and how to stick to it under the impact of foreign brands.
However, Song Weiyang is obviously more popular and respected than him, because Song Weiyang is especially rich!
Even if Google’s stock price has begun to plummet, Song Weiyang’s assets are not as many as those announced by Forbes at the beginning of the year. But standing among these entrepreneurs, he still stands out from the crowd. This is equivalent to the difference between a billionaire and a multi-millionaire, and it is not on the same level at all.
By the way, Song Weiyang has officially withdrawn from the “China Business Club” and accepted the invitation of the editor-in-chief of “China Business” to join the “China Business Club”-originally called the “Chinese Business Entrepreneur Club”, Song Weiyang asked the other party if it was unpleasant. Renamed.
The two magazines and the two clubs have been in a long-term competitive relationship, but the former has the support of Taishan Association, and gradually throws the latter out of the eight streets.
Now Song Weiyang has agreed to join and serve as chairman~www.mtlnovel.com~ and immediately attracted a lot of top entrepreneurs. Although many people belong to both sides, the two major business camps in China are becoming more and more obvious.
Mr. Liu didn’t communicate with Song Weiyang during the whole process, and the two people had a deep grievance. In addition to the commercial competition, it was also because Song Weiyang invited Academician Ni to serve as the senior consultant of China, and Academician Ni has been publicly criticizing Mr. Liu for several years.
“Boss Song, wait a minute!” Dean Zhang yelled after catching up.
Song Weiyang had a headache, turned around and smiled and said, “Where is Dean Zhang? I thought you had left Qiong Island.”
Dean Zhang of Guanghua College of Peking University has been promoted from deputy dean to full dean. He also came to participate in the Boao Forum this time, all kinds of pestering Song Weiyang, forced Dr. Ma to go to Peking University to give lectures, talk about the development and growth of China’s science and technology.
Dean Zhang kept nagging, Song Weiyang was so annoyed that he agreed.
Anyway, he is going to take his wife and children to watch the Olympics. After the Olympics, it is time to start school after playing in Beijing for half a month. When that time comes, he will take the time to hold a lecture at Peking University.
