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

Chapter 794 The Richest Man's Declaration (Part 1)

"This lineup, this sincerity, I reckon only the power of capital could get these four people to rehearse together on stage. The other side is awesome!"

"Damn, this is truly the internet's Spring Festival Gala! It's way more exciting than watching the actual Spring Festival Gala. It's a total knockout, absolutely a knockout!"

"I suggest that the CCTV Spring Festival Gala directing team collectively watch and learn from this performance; this is the kind of show that the audience wants to see."

"My youth is back! The last time the Four Heavenly Kings shared the stage, I was still a primary school student. Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Damn, as a 95er, I was still an embryo back then. Did people eat this well back then? And look at what those little stars are singing now? Left hand in slow motion, right hand in slow motion replaying something else~"

"Given their current level of maintenance and professional skills, the Four Heavenly Kings truly deserve this title; it's incredibly prestigious."

"Looking at their synchronized movements and the rehearsals of the backup dancers, I'm sure they've rehearsed meticulously in private."

"I strongly suspect that President Mo is using public funds for personal gain, chasing after celebrities—but I like it!"

"The people upstairs are too narrow-minded. With President Mo's status and position, why would he need public funds? Why would he need to chase after celebrities? Who's chasing after whom is still uncertain."

Normally, at variety concerts or other fashion shows, the performers are basically just walking around and leaving after the show.

But just as the performance of the Four Heavenly Kings triggered a wave of nostalgia among the audience, none of the celebrity guests who had taken the stage earlier left.

They were waiting there not to collect the final payment from the other side of the river group, but to wait for someone.

As Chen Mo's tall and slender figure appeared in the waiting area, a chorus of greetings immediately erupted:

"President Mo!"

"Hello, Mr. Mo~"

"Mr. Chen!"

These superstars, who are usually adored by millions of fans, stepped forward to greet us with either reserved smiles or enthusiastic gestures.

Chen Mo's eyes lit up when he saw one of them, and he patted him on the shoulder, "Lun, you've gained weight. You need to watch your figure. Look at me, I work out all the time."

"Oh, no... okay, okay." Jay Chou almost blurted out his catchphrase, but then realized it was obviously inappropriate and quickly corrected himself, nodding awkwardly.

I made up my mind that I would give up milk tea as soon as I got back and go to the gym with Liu Genghong.

When it was Phoenix Legend's turn to take a group photo, Chen Mo said with a smile, "Although I can't name most of your songs, I can sing them all."

“We are so honored.” Linghua was no longer as carefree as before, and became somewhat like a lady from a well-to-do family.

When Chen Mo shook hands with the one who spoke less, his eyes lit up. "Hmm? Your watch is quite unique."

"Uh, these were all gifts from friends, Mr. Chen. If you don't mind..."

"Thank you for your kind offer. I was just saying it casually. I don't usually wear a watch, so let's take a picture together."

During their pleasantries with Chen Mo, these celebrities, without exception, displayed a mixture of restraint and closeness. Even the once rebellious Nicholas Tse now seemed like Xie Ting.
Generally speaking, there are different levels in different circles. For example, the sports circle is higher than the entertainment circle, and movie stars are of higher status than TV stars. But compared to the business circle, these are nothing.

Although Chen Mo's age is not much different from many of the celebrities present, the technological empire and business achievements he has created mean that any one of his companies has already far exceeded their combined net worth.

Thus, the fans' idols also became star-struck fans, all for the sake of getting a photo together. When the Four Heavenly Kings finished their performance and the director switched the camera backstage, a unique spectacle of "celebrity fangirling" unfolded before the audience's eyes.

Surprisingly, even the Four Heavenly Kings, who had just finished their performance, respectfully and warmly came to take a photo with their boss.

Countless staff members raised their phones to record this precious moment.

At that moment, all the employees on the other side felt a sense of pride.

Look, this is my awesome and cool boss.

Chen Mo seemed to notice the camera and waved to it, saying, "How are you all?" The thunderous response from the audience shocked the celebrities present.

It's truly remarkable that an entrepreneur can be so beloved by his own employees, even surpassing their popularity.

"See you in a bit!" Chen Mo said, then covered the camera lens with his hand, and the screen immediately went dark.

A few minutes later, Chen Mo appeared on stage, greeted by deafening cheers from all the employees on the other side.

If the Bird's Nest had a roof, the sound would have been enough to overturn it. Without uttering a word, the atmosphere at the scene had already reached a boiling point, demonstrating his high standing among the employees.

The live stream chat was filled with cheers and the barrage of comments soared, blotting out the sky.

"Good evening, fellow travelers from the other side." The simple opening greeting once again elicited a warm response, and Chen Mo had to reach out and press his hand down.

Such an enthusiastic response was followed by an immediate silence behind Chen Mo, demonstrating his prestige among the people.

"Actually, I give a speech at the annual meeting every year, and I cherish this opportunity very much."
After all, preparing for the annual meeting costs hundreds of millions of yuan every year, and the prizes at the annual meeting are also quite expensive, so it would feel like a waste not to say a few words.”

The whole audience burst into laughter; that's exactly the kind of laugh they wanted.
Just kidding.

Actually, as the scale of the other side grows larger, I have fewer and fewer opportunities to communicate with everyone face-to-face, which is a bit of a regret.

Perhaps only some of you long-time employees remember that I used to just shout out a few times, and everyone would gather on the top floor of the Wucai City, at most using one of those big loudspeakers that you hang outside at a market. Now, you can't do that outside of the Bird's Nest.

This year's annual meeting was not only broadcast live, but also globally. Many colleagues on the other side of the ocean, as well as those working in branches and headquarters across the country, were watching our live stream simultaneously. On behalf of everyone, I would like to express my respect and gratitude.

This also shows that things are getting better and better on the other side of the strait.

Generally speaking, in addition to the regular team building and cultural development, each level of the organization will also have a special annual event.

For example, every year in the week following the National Day holiday, middle-level managers from Beyond would be taken by their respective bosses to visit sacred sites, instilling in the founding team of China the revolutionary will to combine the spirit of Beyond with the spirit of Beyond.

Every New Year's Day, the core management team of Beyond Group and the heads of its subsidiaries would go to a certain place with Chen Mo for a closed-door team building activity. While reporting on their work, they would also finalize the plans for the new year. After returning from the Spring Festival holiday, they would finalize the specific details. Of course, the most important thing was that everyone would use this opportunity to get to know each other.

The annual meeting speech was to demonstrate his presence and influence as the boss, and to get all employees to align their thinking with Chen Mo's.

Chen Mo gave a brief ten-minute overview of the achievements of each business line over the past year, especially praising several outstanding departments. He then outlined the plans for the new year before beginning his macro-level narrative.

"Over the past decade or so, many people in China's internet industry should remember the 'copy economy'."
