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

Chapter 793 The Other Shore Annual Meeting, A Classic Reappearance

Chen Mo's last Weibo post was a group photo with a host of internet and technology giants, including Liu Qiangdong, Lei Jun, Li Yanhong, Wang Wei, Zhang Yiming, and Wang Tao, at the Jin Yi Inn during the Wuzhen Conference.
The comment section of that Weibo post turned into a massive family reunion, with people calling out either "husband" they'd never met or "daddy" they'd been separated from for many years.
At first, netizens didn't realize the deeper meaning behind Chen Mo's Weibo post, until someone dug up a Weibo post from a year ago.
At the time, LeEco's market value exceeded 1600 billion yuan, and Jia Yueting was riding high. He made a sarcastic remark on Weibo: "Back then, a certain internet giant was blind and missed an investment opportunity. I wonder what he thinks now?"

Just as the media was wildly speculating about the identity of "a certain tycoon," Chen Mo responded with just six words:
"I watched him build a tall building."

Now, the two Weibo posts echo each other, and a year-long prediction by investors is finally coming to an end.

The comment section of Chen Mo's Weibo post was initially filled with various sarcastic remarks:

Is it a case of sour grapes?

"Can't stand seeing others do well?"

"Even the richest man is trying to ride the wave?"

However, time quickly provided the answer.

When LeEco faced a crisis at the end of last year and it continued to escalate, the comment section of this Weibo post instantly became a massive "face-slapping" scene.

Weibo is known for its freedom of speech—as long as it doesn't involve sensitive information or personal attacks, even negative comments about Chen Mo won't be deleted.

This open attitude actually makes the truth more convincing.

Just yesterday, Sunac invested 150 billion yuan in LeEco, and there were signs of recovery, when Chen Mo suddenly blurted out the second half of his statement.

This has once again prompted many media outlets and netizens to offer their interpretations.

It's worth noting that Chen Mo doesn't usually post on Weibo for no reason; every time he speaks out, it's with a specific purpose.

Just like the warnings before the P2P lending platforms collapsed back then, Chen Mo's "prediction" has come true many times.

Even if some people initially questioned them, reality always teaches them a lesson.

Gradually, a consensus emerged: rather than trusting one's own judgment, it is better to trust the information channels of the richest man.

After all, Xiao Mo has never tricked them.

Chen Mo's Weibo post clearly indicates his pessimism about LeEco's current crisis.

This has made many investors who were eager to rush into the stock market and buy LeEco shares start to calm down.

LeEco's stock price fell by 6% that day, and after a hard-won recovery yesterday, it has fallen by more than half.

One of Chen Mo's Weibo posts is worth 40 billion yuan.

Of course, Chen Mo wouldn't just post a Weibo and call it a day. He then instructed Tianji Pavilion to work with Tianyancha to prepare an "ultimate compilation" investigation report on LeEco, which would be released to the public at the right time.

In the following days, LeEco's stock price continued to decline, and Sunac's 150 billion yuan financing seemed to have become a fleeting ripple.

On Friday evening, January 20th.

The Other Shore Annual Meeting, hailed by many IT professionals as the "Spring Festival Gala of the Internet," has arrived as scheduled.

As expected, the annual meeting of the company was still held at the Bird's Nest, because only the venue was large enough to accommodate the nearly 10 employees of the company.

It is worth mentioning that this year's Beyond Annual Meeting continued the popular classic "employee voting" model, which means that the performance guests were invited based on employee votes.

Unfortunately, by 17, society had become more harmonious, and the era of unbridled development was over. Some of the Japanese language teachers who received high votes this year were unfortunately banned. However, the lineup of guests for the annual meeting of the other side was impressive. Since the average age of the other side's employees is 30, the guests who received high votes are basically iconic figures from the era of the Chinese music scene, which can be described as the twilight of the gods.

Jay Chou, JJ Lin, Dao Lang, Stefanie Sun, Wang Leehom, Nicholas Tse, Faye Wong, Phoenix Legend, and other top stars of the millennium are all on the list.
This caused cheers and much discussion among the audience, with sources from HR suggesting that a mystery guest would be attending the annual meeting.

Everyone was eagerly anticipating it, and many were guessing whether Lei Jun would be there on stage.

Given the relationship between the boss and Mr. Lei, this possibility still exists.

After the annual general meeting results were announced, some were happy while others were sad. However, with the "Sunshine Award" as a safety net, most employees still felt some comfort.

Finally, a figure slowly appeared on the lifting platform; it wasn't CEO Lei.

When Guo Fucheng appeared, the cheers at the scene suddenly increased by an order of magnitude.

Guo Fucheng performed a medley of three songs: "Wild City," "I Can't Stop Loving You," and "Para Para Sakura," delivering a high-energy performance that brought the atmosphere to a whole new climax.

As a veteran artist among the performers, Aaron Kwok, who is nearly sixty years old, was indeed qualified to be the finale guest.

Because the annual meeting was also broadcast live, the millions of netizens watching the live stream went crazy.

"Holy crap, is this the charm of the original Asian dance king?"

"Hey, has anyone seen that clip of Guo Fucheng nodding on Douyin? It's absolutely amazing!"

"With their singing and dancing skills, those were the real stars back then."

"Looking at that rhythm, those light and nimble movements, Jay Chou and Nicholas Tse look like green recruits in front of him."

"Damn, he's my dad's age, and he can still jump around on stage so energetically, that's fucking amazing."

When Aaron Kwok finished his performance and left amidst cheers, everyone thought it was time for President Merkel to make his grand entrance and deliver his annual speech.

As another intro began, everyone in the audience froze. Was the boss going to sing again? No way!
Many long-time employees showed a look of fear on their faces.

But when the soothing intro played for a few seconds, the bloodline that had been etched into the DNA of countless people was awakened. This is "Kiss Goodbye".
Jacky Cheung, the "God of Songs," slowly appeared, his previous enthusiasm transforming into a lyrical tone—a perfect blend of movement and stillness.

After the cheers subsided, could it be that an impossible possibility emerged in everyone's mind?

Then everyone quickly quieted down and immersed themselves in the song, their expressions excited and subtly expectant.

"Goodbye Kiss" and "A Thousand Reasons to Be Sad".
When the upbeat and exciting rhythm of "Fatal Fury" started, the passion of the entire audience was reignited.

After finishing his ending pose, the 55-year-old Jacky Cheung stunned the audience with a split, proving that he's still got it.
Then Leon Lai and Andy Lau took the stage, gradually building the atmosphere to its peak with a medley of classic hits such as "Will You Come Tonight" and "Infernal Affairs".

The surrounding light dimmed again, and as the folk music prelude to "Youth Dance" began, the Four Heavenly Kings, dressed in the same ethnic minority costumes as they had thirty years ago, appeared together on the same stage, and everyone went crazy.

On the left side of the two large screens are their early, awkward moments from the 1993 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, while on the right side is the live stage.

Thirty years have passed in tandem. The people on stage today may have lost some of their youthful naiveté, but they exude more of the maturity and composure of veteran artists.

Thirty years have passed, and the figures on the screen have gradually overlapped, bringing back memories of nostalgia, and some older viewers had tears in their eyes.

This brought the entire event to its biggest climax of the day.
