Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 395 Economic Figure of the Year Awards Ceremony
Generally speaking, when you arrive at a completely unfamiliar situation, it would be a good experience to have a middleman to act as a middleman.

Chen Mo is a half-step e-person, the kind of person who treats acquaintances as strangers i.

Without any prior preparation, just starting to chat is like having no foreplay and just going straight in and having sex. Only social gangsters and rapists would do this.

Fortunately, in this kind of situation, Lei Jun, Chen Mo's good brother, acted as a lubricant. After all, this guy has been working in the business world for nearly 20 years and it's not for nothing. At least he has become a familiar face.

Ning Gaoning of COFCO, Wang Jianlin of Wanda, Yang Yuanqing of Lenovo, and Wang Shi of Vanke.
Chen Mo took the opportunity to greet these industry leaders. These leaders did not look down on Chen Mo because of his age. Their attitudes were very cordial and friendly, especially after hearing the two men introduce themselves.

Their eyes were very interesting, full of curiosity and inquiry, as if the cubs of a new species had come to a zoo.

As Lei Jun introduced the entrepreneurs one by one, Chen Mo counted in his mind at least twenty entrepreneurs from various industries, and wondered when this guy's circle of friends became so wide.
Chen Mo followed Lei Jun around for a while, and saw that he was pulling everyone he saw, and there was no one he didn't know. He couldn't resist his curiosity, so he pulled Lei Jun to a corner.

"Brother, are there any of these people you don't know? If you had told us earlier that you had these resources, we would have been able to take off if we had any difficulties in the future and you had just shown us your face~"

Lei Jun smiled shyly, "There were many people I didn't know just now, but you're not here, it's good to get to know them better in this situation!"

"Then you can match them all. There are some that I have only heard of their names but have never seen."

Lei Jun scratched his head and said, "I can't match some of them. There is a name under the other person's corsage, but you can't read it."

Shit! So you just dragged me here to cheat, it's hard to say who is the one who is taking the blame between us.

Chen Mo wanted to cry but had no tears. "That's fine. I thought I was just relying on you. Now I understand!"

Most of the people present today are from traditional industries. Chen Mo feels that he will not have much dealings with them in the future, so it is enough to just use facial recognition here.

Even though the Internet is developing rapidly now and Bi'an and Xiaomi are gaining momentum, they are still not as good as those traditional business leaders and some officials.

Chen Mo had no intention of further communicating with these bigwigs in various fields, and was ready to find his own comfort zone to hide in. He glanced around and found several familiar figures in a corner. He greeted Lei Jun and walked over.

Lei Jun saw that the source of his confidence was running on its own without circling. When he saw the end of Chen Mo's direction, he saw those figures that he was familiar with and followed them.

After all, in such occasions, Internet people are one family. We will see each other every day. We should stick together for warmth and chat with each other.

The three leaders of BAT gathered together, talking about something. Li Yanhong was the first to notice Chen Mo and Lei Jun coming over.

He said to the other two, "Speak of the devil, here comes the devil~"

Chen Mo had dealt with these three people several times before, so they were all familiar to each other. He raised his hands and clasped his fists in greeting, "Brothers, long time no see. I missed you so much!"

Lei Jun also greeted the three people and said with a smile, "What are you guys talking about? You are so engaged~"

Lao Ma said sarcastically, "We are talking about Mr. Lei's great work today~"

This inexplicable sentence confused Lei Jun. He thought, what did he do today? I don't know what this alien is thinking.

Chen Mo kindly reminded him, "Mr. Ma is talking about Double 12~"

Lei Jun suddenly realized, "Oh, this is all thanks to the allies, Xiaomi is just a small supporting role going with the flow"

Lao Ma saw that Lei Jun had no acting skills at all. Go ahead and pretend. JD.com is making a lot of money, and Xiaomi is probably not far behind. He must be secretly very happy.

He glanced at Chen Mo, who was willing to be a supporting role beside Lei Jun and was like Lei Jun's younger brother, and he had an idea in his mind. It seemed that Lei Jun was undoubtedly the backbone of Mi'an Dongfeng.

Pony, who looked harmless and kind beside Lao Ma, asked Chen Mo with a smile, "I guess the WeChat event this Spring Festival will be very exciting."

Chen Mo sighed, "How can that be called exciting? It is quite exciting~ Please wait and see~ But I am looking forward to the New Year event on WeChat."

Xiao Ma Ge pretended to be reserved and said, "Anyway, I will definitely not let you down. I might even give you a surprise~"

"Oh? Then I'll wait and see!" Seeing that Xiao Ma Ge was very motivated, Chen Mo also became interested.

Ma didn't want to talk to Lei Jun, but when he heard this topic, he suddenly became interested and interrupted, "It just so happens that Alipay also has an event, so let's see who has the best event during the New Year~"

Chen Mo's eyes turned, "It's boring to just talk about it, how about we put some money on it~"

When the two ponies heard this, they thought, "Hmm?" It's quite interesting.

Both of them became interested and asked in unison, "What's the prize?"

"How about we each take out 100 million and have some fun?"

After listening to this, Lao Ma shook his finger and said, "The pattern is too small. More than 1 million is meaningless. How about 5 million?"

When Xiao Ma heard this, although he didn't know why Lao Ma was so confident, he felt like 500 penguins were shouting in his heart. He pretended to be calm and started to add fuel to the fire.
"How about rounding up to 10 billion? I think this amount of money shouldn't be a problem for the two of you. It's rare for us to get together, so how about giving some money?"

Lao Ma only thought about it for a moment and said, "Then I'll just show my appreciation!"

Chen Mo looked at Da Ma and Xiao Ma suspiciously, wondering where their inexplicable confidence came from. Is there something going on between the two of you?

But no matter what, he is certainly not in vain.

Then he gritted his teeth and followed suit, "Both brothers are so courageous, how can I not follow suit as a younger brother?"

Looking at Li Yanhong who was eager to try, Xiao Ma Ge smiled and invited him to a match, "How about Robin also join in?"

The latter suddenly froze up, and clicked to reject the invitation. "Forget it, I don't dare to gamble!"

Seeing that the contestants were ready, Lao Ma frowned, "Each company has invested different amounts of time in the event, how can we evaluate them? Will there be any unfairness?"

Since it was none of his business, Li Yanhong, who was ready to watch the show, made a suggestion.
“That’s easy. Since you all have confidence, Baidu can act as a referee. After the New Year, I will have someone organize a New Year voting event on Tieba and let netizens vote on a single choice. It will be up to the users to judge which is better or worse.

With only 10 billion yuan, I don't think you will lower your status to hire a troll army to vote or do some other tricks. And with Baidu's technical capabilities, you can rest assured that these points will be fair and open!"

Nowadays, Baidu Tieba is called the new three major information distribution centers by the media along with Sina Weibo and WeChat public accounts, and it has a large amount of traffic every day.

Therefore, the influence of Baidu Tieba is still sufficient.

"Okay," "I have no objection," "That's settled!" The other three agreed with Li Yanhong's suggestion.

The four of them made a gentleman's agreement, not worrying about who would go against their promise. After all, with their current status and position, there was no need to use credit for a mere 10 billion yuan.

The two Ma and one Chen looked at each other, and a mysterious smile bloomed on each of their faces.

Brother Xiao Ma looked at his two opponents and smiled happily.

Everyone knows about the Alipay red envelopes on the day of Alibaba’s Spring Festival Gala, and there is not much you can do with them.

He had already known about the New Year red envelope activity on WeChat. WeChat has only evolved from the previous red envelope 2.0 iteration to 3.0 at best. Unfortunately, our micro-chat solution has already evolved to 5.0.

No matter the scale, duration or the red envelope gameplay, it is better than the original!
Brother Xiao Ma feels like he is playing an FPS game with a full-map perspective plug-in. He knows both himself and the enemy, and has no idea how he lost!
Ma didn't really care about a mere 20 billion yuan. What he cared more about was the tone of voice!
If you become the final winner, you will have a strong psychological advantage over these two people afterwards, which is the most important thing!
Old Ma looked at his two opponents and smiled happily.

He knew Xiao Ma well. He knew he could only repeat what others had said and had no innovation. It was most likely just a red envelope.

As for Chen Mo, he might have been a little timid in the past, but this time he has the red envelope plan for half of the other side in his hand, and the existence of the powerful weapon of the official partner of the Spring Festival Gala behind him.

With traffic in hand, Ma is very happy to have the feeling that he has the most power in the world. In addition, Alipay's national red envelope activity has been continuously improved by the product department, and it is said that the internal response is very good.

He has begun to worry about whether Alibaba's servers can handle the Spring Festival Gala. After all, the Internet user base that the Spring Festival Gala targets is larger than the consumer base. He still remembers the lag that occurred during last month's Double Eleven.

Although he is not very interested in money at this stage, 20 billion is not a small amount.

I'm sorry, but I, Ma, will gladly accept this money.

Chen Mo looked at the two opponents, and instead of feeling happy, he began to feel a little nervous.

The two guys, Big Ma and Little Ma, were smiling so sinisterly, as if they were sure of winning. They must be up to something bad.

It doesn’t matter, the Five Fortunes will take action!

At this point in time, this is the two-dimensional foil in the Three-Body Problem, and everyone who comes is just paper!

Looking at the three people in front of him with faint smiles on their faces, sparks seemed to be flying in their eyes, and the attitude of everyone being a winner, Li Yanhong was at a loss.

Just like playing Poker, if one player has big cards, it doesn’t count as a win. Only when several players at the table have big cards, will this round be exciting!

Thinking of this, even though he hadn't sat down at the table, he felt a little excited. Who would be the winner of this 20 billion dollar bet? He was looking forward to it.

"But the referee can't work in vain. Not much, just 5 points~"

This sentence immediately broke the slightly subtle atmosphere, causing the other people to laugh and scold, complaining that someone was calculating.

The latter immediately used his skill of shifting the blame, explaining that he learned this trick from Chen Mo.

The other three contestants thought about it and agreed.

"to make!"

"Ok!"

"No problem!" "That's settled!"

For a while, several people were chatting back and forth, seemingly real and fake, with open praise and hidden sarcasm, and verbal battles, which was very exciting.

Watching Chen Mo quickly integrate into the scene, talking and laughing, joking around, Lei Jun blinked his eyes and asked, "Have you guys forgotten something?"
Now Lei Jun feels like he belongs to the Internet circle but is a little bit impure.

Xiaomi says that the digital circle has many Internet genes, but a company that sells mobile phones is not a pure Internet company.

In addition, Xiaomi’s New Year activities cannot be compared with those of these companies, so it cannot be included in the topic.

This is quite embarrassing.

The Internet was said to be a family, but it’s all a lie.

However, what puzzled Lei Jun was that the two Ma and one Li allowed Chen Mo to integrate into the team so naturally without any rejection reaction.

Does this mean that BAT has already accepted and recognized the strength of the other side?
At this moment, CCTV staff came in and announced that the evening party was about to begin, and asked all guests to move to the studio.
In previous years, the Economic Person of the Year ceremony was recorded and broadcast, but last year it was changed to a live broadcast, broadcast simultaneously on CCTV-1, CCTV-2 and CCTV-4.

The award ceremony officially begins.

CCTV hosts Chen Weihong and Wang Xiaoya co-hosted the event.

According to convention, relevant leaders of the Ministry of Commerce, CCTV leaders and the bigwigs responsible for controlling the country's economic policies gave speeches in turn, which was just a show of force.

It also set the tone and background for this awards ceremony.
The international economy is complex and China's economy is facing constant challenges. Maintaining stable growth has become the top priority. We need real industry, high-end manufacturing, the promotion of industrial upgrading, and finding our advantages in the global competitive landscape.
Therefore, the theme of the selection is "The Mission of Industry".

The selection criteria are innovation, responsibility, influence, driving force, and annual contribution.

Sitting in the first row of the audience are judges, and all the awards for this awards ceremony are selected by them.

Among them are Zhang Ruimin, Liu Chuanzhi, Wang Shi, Wu Jinglian, Long Yongtu and others. They are either members of think tanks or veterans in the economic circle, and each of them is a big shot.

Chen Mo and Lei Jun sat at a round table a little further back, watching the various award presenters, award recipients, and speeches on and off the stage, feeling very novel.

Especially when Chen Mo saw Lao Ma coming on stage, he sat up slightly straighter. After all, there were fewer and fewer speeches to be given by Lao Ma, so he should cherish them.

While Lao Ma was on stage, the host Chen Weihong was reading the award speech:
Taobao has created 10 million entrepreneurial opportunities, with more than 100 million people logging in to consume goods every day. Jack Ma is leading Taobao towards the goal of 10 trillion yuan.

Lao Ma took the trophy from the award presenter. He looked at the trophy and gave a speech with a little emotion.
"After many years, I received the award of Economic Person of the Year again. My emotions are mixed. First of all, I would like to thank this era, the country and the judges for their recognition of China's e-commerce.

This honor does not belong to me alone, but is the best recognition and praise for millions of merchants on Taobao.
Eight years ago, I won this award for the first time. Before that, I was considered a liar and a lunatic. Now everyone regards me as a madman.

The reason is simple. I just like to be myself. Just like what I am wearing today, I feel very comfortable with the sweater and scarf.
Starting a business is difficult, very, very difficult, but you must persist and don’t give up. There is a saying for those who want to start a business: ‘Today is cruel, tomorrow is even crueler, and the day after tomorrow is beautiful, but most people die tomorrow night.’”

On stage, Lao Ma, whose speaking ability is inversely proportional to his appearance, kept making golden quotes, and just a few words aroused applause from the audience.

"E-commerce is only just getting started today with a trillion-dollar business. What we need to do now is to transform traditional retail channels. In the next three to five years, we will see a transformation in manufacturing and ultimately a transformation in people's lifestyles."

Jack Ma, the last person named Economic Person of the Year, walked down the stage after his speech, and the crowd burst into laughter and applause.

This also means that the list of the top ten economic figures of the year is officially released, which are:

Liang Wengen, Chairman of Sany Group

Jack Ma, Chairman and CEO of Alibaba Group
Yang Yuanqing, Chairman and CEO, Lenovo Group

Ning Gaoning, Chairman of COFCO Corporation

Wang Jianlin, Chairman of Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd.

Zhang Weigong, Chairman and President of Sunshine Insurance Group Co., Ltd.
Hu Wenming, Party Secretary and Chairman of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation
Song Zhiping, Chairman of China National Building Materials Group Corporation and a senior party official; External Director and Chairman of Huaxia Pharmaceutical Group Corporation
Yu Liang, President of Vanke Co., Ltd.
Guan Xiyou, Chairman and General Manager of Shenyang Machine Tool Group

Chen Mo, who was ranked far ahead in the annual economic figure voted by netizens, was not on this list, making the online public opinion list a joke.

After all the economic figures of the year were awarded, the host Chen Weihong once again invited Wanda’s Wang and Alibaba’s Ma to the stage.

The two sides debated whether e-commerce can replace traditional store operations.

One is the king of industry. Wanda Group is involved in many physical fields such as hotels, shopping malls, and real estate. In September this year, it just completed the acquisition of AMC, the world's second largest cinema group, with a total acquisition amount of US$9 billion. This transaction has become the largest overseas M&A transaction by a Chinese private enterprise to date.

One is the godfather of e-commerce. In 2012, the transaction volume of Taobao and Tmall will exceed 1 trillion, which is equivalent to the total GDP of SX Province in 2011. Last month, on Singles' Day, the transaction volume exceeded 141 billion to billion in just one day, which shocked everyone with the huge potential of Internet e-commerce.

With Chen Weihong's instigation, the two seemed to be chatting and laughing happily, but in fact, there was a lot of tension between them.

Wang: "Although e-commerce is very powerful now, its market share is still relatively small. Whether it can account for more than half of the market share in the future remains to be seen."

Ma: "E-commerce is not about replacing or eliminating anyone, but about creating a more innovative, fair, open and transparent business environment to cultivate and support entrepreneurs like Wanda's CEO Wang. We help them replace you."

Chen took the opportunity to instigate, "Boss Wang, the other party is coming with great force. In the martial arts world, there are generally only two options when encountering such a situation. One is to endure, and the other is to be cruel. Which one will you choose?"

Wang: "If you say so, then I will definitely choose cruelty!"

Ma: "Then I have to tell Mr. Wang a good news, e-commerce will not completely replace the retail industry. At the same time, I also have to tell Mr. Wang a bad news, that is, it will basically replace you!"

There was continuous applause and laughter at the scene.

Of course, this debate had no result, but in the end the two of them still presented a small episode for everyone. Wang Jianlin said that just now, he and Mr. Ma made a small bet in the audience about whether e-commerce would exceed 50% of the large retail market share in ten years.

However, Chen Mo was stunned when he heard the amount of the bet. One billion? Wasn't it one hundred million?

No matter whether they were bigwigs or some audience members working in the economic field, they all clapped and cheered like onlookers, and the evening party reached its first climax that day.

As Wang and Ma left the stage, the show continued.

But the host was replaced. After Chen Weihong stepped down, Wang Xiaoya took over and continued to present the awards.

Next, the China Economic Person of the Year Innovation Award was won by the Beidou Satellite Navigation System Mission Team of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

Chen Mo looked at the team and wondered whether AutoNavi could be integrated into the Beidou satellite positioning system. He thought this was possible and put it on record.

Kerry Group Chairman Robert Kuok received the China Economic Person of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award.

There were also some performances during the award ceremony.
At this time, the award ceremony was about to come to an end, and another host of the Economic Channel, Rui Chenggang, took over.

This guy used to be a CCTV reporter. With the help of official resources, he got the opportunity to interview politicians and celebrities from various countries. Later, he lost sight of his own position and became arrogant.

To what extent was he so arrogant that he blurted out the golden words "I think I can represent Asia" during a press conference held by a foreign politician.

Later, something went wrong and he was put in jail and forced to work on a sewing machine for several years. There are many different opinions as to why he was put in jail.

Rui Chenggang, who could still recognize his position at this time, began to introduce the award-winning guests, "Let's applaud and invite Mr. Tan Xuguang, Chairman of Shandong Heavy Industry Group, to open the prize for us!"

After Tan Xuguang came on stage, he began to read the award speech:
"He is one of the most successful investors. He was listed on the Forbes China Rich List in 2001, but when he was over , he decided to start a business. He wanted to use the Internet to make and sell mobile phones. Some people said he had a wild idea.

The original Internet triathlon model he created worked very well in his hands and is also known as the Xiaomi model, providing great experience for other Internet entrepreneurs.

In the past year, Xiaomi’s mobile phone sales have exceeded 10 million, with annual sales of nearly 100 billion yuan, making it a rising new force in China’s mobile phone industry.

He is Lei Jun, Chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Technology

Chen Mo quickly patted Lei Jun next to him, and the two stood up and hugged each other. The former watched the other go on stage.

Watching Lei Jun running in small steps, Chen Mo clapped very hard.

Chen Mo was not jealous at all that this guy won the award. He was even happier than himself. He had seen how hard Lei Jun worked and how difficult the journey was, from the time he founded Xiaomi to where he is today.

This is what he deserves. Chen Mo now even feels a sense of satisfaction and emotion as if his son Jun has grown up.

Jun'er, you've made great progress!

However, Chen Mo looked at the photos on the stage that flashed back to Lei Jun's entrepreneurial journey. There was one photo that left a deep impression on him. The face was smiling like a sunflower. He took out his Xiaomi and took a picture of the photo as a souvenir.

I didn't expect you to be such a Jun'er~
But when I think about myself, it stands to reason that with so much voice online, I should at least get an award to appease them.

I don’t really care about winning the award or not. Winning is even better, after all, it is a recognition from the mainstream media and those above.

The main purpose of coming here is to broaden your horizons, listen more, see more, and feel what the top people in China's economic circle are like, and by the way, to make your presence felt in front of these big guys.

Lei Jun seemed slightly excited. He walked onto the stage in two or three steps and took the trophy from Tan Xuguang. He was very excited.

Then he walked to the front of the microphone and adjusted the height of the microphone to calm his excitement.

“Well, first of all, thank you~
Thank you to the country, thank you to the leaders and judges, and thank you to CCTV for such a great platform.

In addition, I would like to thank one person in particular.”

Thanks to the big guy "Ye is a pirate from Somalia" for giving me another 500 points. Why did I say again?
The boss is generous~orz~
