Rebirth of the Wild Age

This year's Boao Forum, the first project is golf. In fact, it is to hold a golf club to provide a platform for free communication between Chinese and foreign business elites.

Song Weiyang didn't go to play golf, he just flew to Qiongdao that afternoon, just in time for the reception dinner.

In fact, the forum officially started in the afternoon, with a round table meeting for young leaders, with participants from all walks of life. Young Chinese and foreign officials participated, as well as people from the media such as Bai Yansong, and business elites such as Ding Sanshi, Shen Nanpeng, and Mr. Huo Dagong. The theme of their discussion was environmental protection and development.

In the evening, the real estate industry forum was held. The speaker was the small target Da Lao Wang, Pan Shiyi, Wang Shitou, Ren Dazui, etc. attended, and some officials from relevant departments also participated.

Ren Dazui was deceived by the media again this time. What he expressed was that social security and market distribution should be given equal weight. The social security system is to provide housing for those who cannot afford housing, such as low-rent housing, affordable housing, etc. But it is by no means a good house for those who cannot afford a house. Living comfortably if they cannot afford a house 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 houses live comfortably.

This news was posted on the Internet that night and became a hot topic on the first day of the Boao Forum. A lot of netizens just saw the headline, and started to gossip in the comment area. Anyway, they are used to it, and they will continue to gossip about Ren Dazui for more than ten years in the future. Speak from a realtor's point of view.

The next morning, a large number of group forums were held simultaneously.

There is a green energy forum, the speaker is a gringo (Ogilvy Group Asia-Pacific president), and the participants are mainly CEOs of oil, automobile and other companies. Some Chinese and foreign officials also participated, such as Iran's Deputy Oil Minister.

There is a telecom industry forum, and the speaker is the head of the Ministry of Information Industry. The CEO of China Mobile, Chairman of Tata Group of India, Chief Strategy Officer of Microsoft, Shen Fuxing, CEO of China Technology, etc., 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, and Song Weiyang was lucky enough to be summoned, and was called to the lounge to talk for a full 15 minutes.

In the afternoon, a bunch of group forums were held at the same time, among which there were many acquaintances in the Internet forums.

Ding Ming, CEO of Sogou, was a special guest speaker, and Samsung Vice Chairman, Ma Xiaoyun, Xiao Ma, Zhang Chaoyang and others attended. Although Zhang Chaoyang was forced to only focus on Sohu videos, he was still the nominal CEO of Sohu, and he represented Sohu in all such public events.

There was a party tonight, Song Weiyang was full of people.

In fact, the main content of his activities in the past two days is to deal with entrepreneurs from all walks of life, and at the same time communicate with some officials at home and abroad.

On the third day of the forum, a roundtable meeting on the 30th anniversary of reform and opening up. Most of the media reporters were prohibited from entering the venue. Only official media reporters were allowed to take pictures, but they were prohibited from videotaping the whole process.

There were three people sitting on the stage, one was CCTV financial host Chen Weihong, the other was Chi Fulin, a scholar official, and the other was Kui Lijie (a foreigner), the global CEO of Delek. Everyone else sat below, each with a microphone in front of them, and more than 200 Chinese and foreign entrepreneurs and scholars participated.

Song Weiyang ran into Ma Xiaoyun outside the venue: Old Song, why didn't you participate in yesterday's Internet forum?

It's fine with you guys, I'm just an Internet investor. Song Weiyang laughed.

Along the way, the two met many entrepreneurs, including the bosses of many state-owned enterprises such as CNOOC and China Mobile.

Song Weiyang was arranged in the middle right seat, Director Fan of the National Economic Research Institute was on the left, old friend Liu Yonghao was on the right, and Ma Xiaoyun sat in the second row.

The three hosts on the stage chatted quickly, reviewing and evaluating the achievements of China's reform and opening up in the past 30 years.

We are making a small game now, Chen Weihong said. There are four animals: elephant, tiger, monkey and eagle. If you want to choose one as your corporate image, which one will the bosses here choose? Start with Mr. Wang Bar.

Mr. Wang of China Mobile said with a smile: I choose elephants.

Chen Weihong asked: Why?

Mr. Wang explained: The image of an elephant is kind, steady, non-aggressive, and helpful. This is like China, which will soon become the third largest economy in the world. It is still a developing country. Mobile companies are also developing, and they are very big. While we are developing, we will also develop together with Chinese society and Chinese people. Moreover, elephants are the largest land animals in the world. I hope that one day mobile The company can also be number one in the world.”

Chen Hongwei asked several times 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 extremely aggressive animals. As long as they violate their territory, elephants will definitely destroy them. The same is true of my business philosophy. Under normal circumstances, I will develop steadily and will not take the initiative to provoke others. Everyone will coexist peacefully and make progress together. But if someone invades my territory, I will not compromise.

People don't offend me, I don't offend others. Chi Fulin concluded.

Yes. Song Weiyang said.

Chen Hongwei asked, Where's Boss Ma?

Ma Xiaoyun said: I choose monkeys. I don't want to be the first. The bigger the company, the greater the responsibility. We need to help more small and medium-sized enterprises and private enterprises. Let's be happy monkeys together.

Mr. Wei of China COSCO Group said: I choose the eagle. Enterprises should be like eagles, occupying the high ground and seeing everything.

About 20 entrepreneurs were selected to make choices, and Chen Weihong began to enter the next link: telling the most memorable first time he experienced in the 30 years of reform and opening up.

This topic is much more lively. Entrepreneurs spoke one after another, reminiscing about the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness, and expressing all kinds of emotions about the past.

When it was Song Weiyang's turn, he said with a smile: There is no first time that is the most memorable. I regard every choice as the first time. It may be that I am too young, and I have not yet reached the time when I like to remember. There is still a long way to go in the future with my business.”

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's Mr. Liu? Chen Hongwei asked.

Liu Yonghao first reviewed his entrepreneurial experience, and then said: There are many firsts in life. My next first is to fulfill my social responsibility. I plan to invest 100 million yuan and help 100 in three years. Villages, establish pig, chicken, and fish farming cooperatives, and unite farmers to form an industrial chain system. At the same time, I also need to prepare a guarantee company to solve financing difficulties for farmers.”

Song Weiyang interrupted suddenly: Brother Liu, don't let environmental protection experts hear your words.

Ha ha ha ha!

A burst of laughter broke out in the audience.

This is not a stalk, but in the forum two days ago, four gringos promoted the concept of vegetarianism and called on people all over the world to eat less meat.

One is last year's Nobel Peace Prize winner, one is the chairman of Philips, one is the representative of the United Nations Development Program in China, and the other is an animal husbandry research expert from Japan Benzene. It is said that eating too much meat affects the environment, leading to a surge in carbon dioxide emissions, and it is also harmful to your body.

Liu Yonghao said: Those people are full of food! In China in the 1980s and 1990s, how many farmers relied on farming to subsidize their families. Especially raising chickens, many rural children count on eggs to increase nutrition. There are also pigs, Teachers in rural areas urge tuition fees, and the most common answer from students is: My mother said, I will pay the tuition fees when the family sells the fat pigs! Pay tuition?

Well said! President Chen of Qiongdao Airlines applauded.

The chat soon went to the next session, where each person showed a photo, posted the photo on the exhibition wall, and told the story behind the photo.

Oh, my god, this thing is too sensational, almost like Art Life, the scene seems to have become a conference of reminiscing bitterness and thinking sweetly. It's all about how difficult it was, how miserable it was, and how to break through obstacles and achieve success, and I must emphasize the help brought by the correct decision-making of the central government.

Song Weiyang realized that he shouldn't have come, this is a group of old men collectively recalling the past!

Wang Shitou and Pan Shiyi all said how difficult it was to do real estate back then. They were on the verge of bankruptcy, and it was not until the central government opened up the real estate market that it turned around.

What Ma Xiaoyun showed was a group photo of the Great Wall, which was the photo of him traveling the Great Wall with his team when he was about to leave Beijing to start a business. He then 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, pasted a photo on the display wall, and immediately explained: This is the photo of the successful tape-out of the first PHS radio frequency chip of Shenzhou Technology, and it is also the first commercial mobile phone radio frequency chip in China. At that time Shenzhou Technology has just started its business by doing the PHS business. But we have invested as much money as possible into scientific research projects, and now we have realized the self-production of baseband chips for China's smartphones...

Hearing this, Mr. Ren in the audience suddenly smiled wryly. The person in charge of the China baseband chip project team is an employee who left Huawei that year.

Technology is the primary productive force, Song Weiyang was still pretending, Last year, Shenzhou smartphones were launched in China for nine months, with a cumulative sales volume of 3.53 million units, and in the United States for three months, with a cumulative sales volume of 870,000 units. Sales exceeded 25 billion yuan! How did this happen? Because we have gone all out to insist on scientific research and innovation, and the Shenzhou smart machine project alone has invested more than 2 billion yuan in research and development! If Chinese companies want to develop, they must work hard. Improve your scientific research strength and innovation ability...

The entrepreneurs present didn't want to talk anymore, obviously everyone was remembering bitterness and thinking about sweetness, what do you mean by coming here to show off your achievements?

In particular, Mr. Li from TCL and Mr. Ren from Huawei, both suffered miserably 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 one smartphone, sold for 9 months in China and 3 months in the United States, has an annual sales of 25 billion!

People are more than people, it's maddening.

And other entrepreneurs are also inexplicably shocked, because China 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 well, and that China Technology has made a lot of money, but they didn't expect the real data to be so scary.

Those friends who also make mobile phones, not only Huawei and tcl, but also other brands, were too shocked to speak at this time.

Let's put it this way, last year China's sales of China's smart phones accounted for only 12.6% of China's total sales of China's mobile phones, but accounted for 60% of the total sales.

Calculated, Shenzhou 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!

Crack clap clap!

Envy is envy, speechlessness is speechlessness, applause still has to be given.

The reporters who were allowed in to observe (not interview) quickly wrote down this set of data in a small notebook, and posted it on the portal website that night. The annual sales of a single product of Shenzhou smart phones is 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 has a very unique focus. He complained on the Tianya forum: This is a fucking 5,800 mobile phone, and it has sold more than 3.5 million units in China in nine months. How can there be 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 of which were to invite him to dinner, play ball and 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 the hundreds of entrepreneurs, Song Weiyang will always stand in the c position, and Mr. Liu is often next to him.

Mr. Liu is also very good at remembering bitterness and thinking sweetness today. He said that he was selling goods on bicycles when he first started his business, and how to persevere to the end under the impact of foreign brands.

It's just that Song Weiyang is obviously more popular and respected than him, because Song Weiyang is very, very rich!

Even though Google's stock price has begun to plummet, Song Weiyang's assets are not as large as Forbes announced 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 they are not at the same level at all.

By the way, Song Weiyang has officially quit the Chinese Entrepreneur Club and accepted the invitation of the editor-in-chief of Chinese Business to join the Chinese Entrepreneur Club - it was originally called the Chinese Business Entrepreneur Club. renamed.

The two magazines and the two clubs have long been in a competitive relationship, but the former has the support of the Taishan Club, and the latter is gradually thrown out of the eight streets.

Now that Song Weiyang agreed to join and serve as the chairman, he immediately recruited a large number of top entrepreneurs. Although many people belonged to both sides, the two major business camps in China became more and more obvious.

Mr. Liu didn't communicate with Song Weiyang the whole time, and the two had deep grievances. In addition to the commercial competition, it was also because Song Weiyang invited Academician Ni to serve as a senior advisor to Shenzhou, and Academician Ni had publicly scolded Mr. Liu for several years.

Boss Song, wait a minute! Dean Zhang chased after him and shouted.

Song Weiyang had a headache, turned around and smiled and said, Is Dean Zhang still there? I thought you had left Qiongdao.

Dean Zhang of Guanghua College of Peking University has been promoted from vice dean to full dean. He also came to participate in the Boao Forum this time, pestering Song Weiyang in various ways, forcing Dr. Ma to give a lecture at Peking University, and he talked about the development and growth of China Science and Technology.

Dean Zhang kept nagging, and Song Weiyang was so annoyed that he agreed.

Anyway, he was going to take his wife and children to watch the Olympics. After the Olympics were over, he would spend half a month in the capital and start school. Then he would take time to hold a lecture at Peking University.
