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

Chapter 950 A Gathering of Talented Individuals, Old Ma Takes the Stage
"Chen Mo, when you touch upon the fundamental interests of certain people, especially those who are accustomed to solving problems outside the rules, this contest has already transcended the scope of normal business competition."

The profound meaning implied in your article shows that you have a clear understanding of the situation, which is excellent.

But this manuscript is currently in a very dangerous situation.

It is almost a last-ditch effort that would result in 'hurting the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of your own,' and should never be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.

Even if you can temporarily suppress your opponent, the other side will inevitably suffer a fierce backlash—and you yourself will be placed in great risk.

"Then, do you have a more prudent strategy?"

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad. Sometimes, we only need to guide them beforehand, and their arrogance and pride will lead to their downfall, and may even drag the entire capitalist camp down with them."

The coming week is crucial. There are some things I can't say outright, but you'll understand how to act when the time is right.

If the other party ultimately does not participate, I allow you to release this article.

After the morning meeting ended, Chen Mo looked at Lao Ma, who was still sitting in his seat not far away, with a gloomy face and unfathomable eyes. This reminded him of their conversation that morning, and he seemed to have an epiphany.

In fact, over the past two days, he has repeatedly summarized the content of that morning's speech and has truly discerned some unique insights from it.

The reason why Ant Financial and WeChat Pay have developed so smoothly in the past few years is that they have received support from above. This also means that a certain level is trying to disrupt the financial landscape and force reform and upgrading through the development of Ant Financial and WeChat Pay.

This is why his early warning plan was ignored two years ago.

The Ant Group's IPO became the catalyst for this change of attitude, because it was discovered that Ant Group had begun to smuggle in its own agenda and forcibly leveraged its assets, which greatly increased the risks. As a result, the company decided to play along with the situation.

The other side, or rather, oneself, becomes a sharp blade in the other party's hand, capable of severing the other party's chain of interests.

"Mr. Mo?" Chen Mo snapped out of his reverie upon hearing Liu Qiangdong's call.

He then chatted with Lei Jun, Liu Qiangdong, and others about his thoughts after listening to the speech. Before he had gone far, he saw the leader's assistant gesturing to him from a secluded corner.

"I'll go over there first, you don't need to wait for me." After saying this to his companions, he walked over alone.
"While your answer this morning was quite insightful, it leaned towards a summary and lacked specificity. The leader hopes you can compile it into a more detailed report."

Chen Mo immediately understood: "Understood, I will definitely submit it before the meeting ends."

This brief scene was witnessed by Old Ma, who was not far away.

The next moment, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and his departing figure exuded an aura of desperation.

In the afternoon, the Meijiang Convention and Exhibition Center truly became a hub for the convergence of global economy and wisdom.

Beneath the towering dome, crystal chandeliers cascaded down like a galaxy, illuminating the figures of leaders from regulatory agencies, top bankers, investment magnates, economists, and think tank experts.

The first row of seats was filled with bank presidents, retired senior executives of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Asia-Pacific presidents of multinational corporations, and Nobel laureates—they were talking in hushed tones, while several seats in the middle remained temporarily empty, prompting contemplation.

The media area was already fully prepared, with telephoto lenses from major domestic and international media outlets such as CCTV, Caixin, CBN, CNN, POLITICO, AFP, and Reuters standing ready to capture this historic moment.

Every guest present was capable of influencing the market, but this time, everyone's attention was focused on two figures in the third row near the center. They were the leaders of Alibaba and Beyond Group, who had stirred up a huge wave in the Chinese business world over the past two months.

Their joint speech today was undoubtedly the highlight of the conference, bar none. It's worth noting that the two have clashed numerous times in the past, whether at internet conferences or in discussions about wealth, status, company size, and business competition, creating countless memorable moments.

This was no ordinary speech, nor was it a typical entrepreneur's address.

Rather, it was at Davos, an event that has witnessed countless financial upheavals.

The first person to take the stage was the head of Alibaba Group.

This entrepreneur, who transformed from a teacher into a digital economy revolutionary and reshaped China's e-commerce ecosystem, is about to deliver a speech to elites in China and even the world's financial system in his capacity as the actual controller of Ant Group.

At this time, Ant Group is about to go public, with a valuation of $3500 billion, setting a new record and becoming the world's largest. Its fintech ecosystem is attempting to challenge every nerve of traditional finance.

On one side of the stage, Lao Ma was waiting backstage. He knew that what he was going to say today would not be the usual pleasantries and prospects.

What he holds in his hand is not just a microphone, but also the voice of a new type of financial force;
He represents not just a single company, but a profound question about the future direction of finance.

This speech will herald the triumph of the new era and sound the clarion call for financial reform and innovation.
It may also become the swan song of the old order, leaving behind an echo of an era fading into the distance in the final clash between tradition and subversion.

Just then, a low commotion came from not far away. Old Ma tiptoed and looked over, only to find that the leader who had given the speech that morning had quietly taken his seat in the center of the first row.

His heart tightened, and he unconsciously gripped the speech notes in his hand.

"Next, let's welcome..."

As the host finished speaking, the lights in the entire venue dimmed, and the only spotlight fell on the not-so-tall figure on the side of the stage.

The room fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop.

Old Ma gathered his thoughts, calmed his mind, smiled, and stepped onto the stage with composure, his gaze sweeping over the guests below who shone like stars.

Looking down at the audience, especially at the imposing figure sitting in the center of the first row, he didn't dare meet those eyes that seemed to see into people's hearts. Instead, he looked slightly into the distance.

Then he saw Chen Mo's meaningful look, and whether it was his imagination or not, he saw a hint of encouragement in it.

what the hell!

He then saw many familiar faces, including Pony Ma, Robin Li, Lei Jun, and Liu Qiangdong.

But he felt more at ease seeing the supportive smiles from his allies.

At this moment, he, a veteran of many battles, truly understood what it meant to be "a gathering of immortals, lined up like hemp": this was perhaps the most prestigious and influential speech of his life.

He didn't rush to speak, but simply adjusted the microphone slightly.

A crucial turning point for Huaxia Financial is waiting to be revealed by him through his words.
"In 2013, at the Lujiazui Financial Summit, I expressed some views on internet finance that were considered 'out of the ordinary' at the time."

"Five years have passed, and some things have been proven true. Now, I, an outsider, am here again."
