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

Chapter 953 Chen Mo's Evolution: The Highest Good is Like Water

As Chen Mo strode confidently toward the waiting area, he paused slightly as he passed his friends' seats.

Lei Jun frowned, his face full of worry.

He knew this young man's character all too well, and couldn't help but lean in and whisper, "Xiao Mo, don't be impulsive."

Pony Ma, standing next to Lei Jun, clearly heard the advice and nodded slightly in empathy, softly echoing, "Mr. Mo, please reconsider."

Liu Qiangdong's gaze swept over Lao Ma's triumphant figure not far away. From a business competition perspective, this was an excellent opportunity. He couldn't wait to add fuel to the fire and shout, "Mr. Mo, go and take him down!"

But looking at the brother who had once saved him, he ultimately suppressed his competitive instincts and gestured with his eyes, reminding him urgently and in a low voice: "Chen Mo, this is not the right occasion!"

Chen Mo took in their worries, caution, and concern without saying a word, but a subtle, enigmatic smile played on his lips as he continued walking forward without hesitation.

That concludes my remarks. Thank you everyone!

Amidst thunderous applause, the speaker stepped down from the stage and brushed past Chen Mo, who was waiting in the wings. The two exchanged a smile and nodded to each other.

This brief interaction was peaceful and normal, like the last quiet leaf falling before a storm.

The host was introducing him and the other side of the world with fluent transitions when a clear voice rang out:
"Let's invite Mr. Chen Mo, Chairman of Beyond Technology Group, to the stage to speak!"

A wave of applause swept through the hall.

Chen Mo took a deep breath and steadily walked towards the podium under the spotlight.

When he stepped onto the stage, the applause seemed to grow even louder, and countless eyes were focused on him, filled with undisguised anticipation—everyone sensed that a fierce and "exciting" showdown was about to unfold.

From the audience, Old Ma watched this opponent, who was old enough to be his nephew or grandson, with mixed feelings.

He acknowledged Chen Mo's abilities—otherwise, he wouldn't have considered him a formidable rival.

Even before he took the stage to fire his first shot, he had already mentally prepared himself for Chen Mo's strong counterattack.

Even if the other party swears or attacks him directly on stage, he can remain calm and maintain a smile.

Just as he was pondering, Chen Mo on the stage suddenly looked in his direction.

Old Ma subconsciously raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of provocation.

On the podium, Chen Mo met Lao Ma's "If you've got the guts, come and get me!" gaze. He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was thinking, "This is not like Lao Ma at all."

But when his gaze swept over a certain spot, it suddenly froze.

No one knew the turmoil stirring within him—just moments before, the leader seated in the front row had shaken his head at him with such subtlety that he almost thought it was an illusion.

Advice from friends, unusual provocations from rivals, and silent signals from leaders.
In a flash, a phrase popped into Chen Mo's mind: "The highest good is like water, which benefits all things without striving, yet it strives without striving!"

In the blink of an eye, he had made his decision.

His gaze returned to the reviewed speech on the podium, then he faced the entire audience and began in a clear and steady voice:
"Distinguished leaders, guests from home and abroad, and friends, good afternoon!"

It is a pleasure to meet with you all in Davos to discuss the important topic of "Creating an Innovative Society in the Fourth Industrial Revolution". "Innovation is often understood as disruption and competition."

But Beyond Group believes that true innovation stems from connection, collaboration, and symbiosis.

We do not seek to establish our position through confrontation, but rather take it upon ourselves to build value networks and promote ecological prosperity.

The venue was unusually quiet, with only Chen Mo's voice echoing.

Almost all the listeners held their breath, waiting for the anticipated "bomb" to be detonated—given Chen Mo's consistent combative style and the intense friction between this other side and Ali, no one believed he would let go of this perfect opportunity to retaliate.

One media professional comforted himself, telling himself to be patient with Mr. Mo, and that he would eventually pull off a move no less impressive than Mr. Ma's.
"In the digital age, technology empowers us with unprecedented capabilities—not 'winner-takes-all,' but 'win-win for all.'"

Beyond is committed to opening up its AI, cloud, and IoT platforms to help SMEs and traditional industries achieve a smooth transformation.
Our focus is not on breakthroughs in a single technology, but on how to make technology the foundation for inclusive growth, enabling every participant to find their place and realize their value within the innovation ecosystem.”

"We look forward to working with global partners to build trust through technology and promote development through collaboration, in order to jointly build a more resilient, more inclusive, and truly innovative society that belongs to everyone in this profound wave of industrial revolution."
That concludes my presentation. Thank you again to the organizing committee for giving me this opportunity.

Chen Mo read the original manuscript aloud word for word, his tone calm and his content positive throughout.

He didn't look at Lao Ma, but at the end of his speech, he made a brief eye contact with the leader in the audience, and read the appreciation and affirmation in his eyes.

This is enough!

Chen Mo picked up his speech and, amidst countless gazes filled with surprise, doubt, disappointment, and even scrutiny, strode confidently off the stage.

An eerie silence fell over the entire room once again.

The silence was similar to when Ma stepped down, but the emotions of the people in the room were completely different.

A moment later, applause broke out sparsely, mostly out of politeness rather than genuine appreciation.

That's it? That's all? That's it?
Most of the people in the audience looked on with surprise.

It's not that Chen Mo's remarks were inappropriate; on the contrary, his remarks were standard, regulated, and even exemplary.

However, this "normality" becomes the biggest "abnormality" when applied to Chen Mo, who is known for his sharp and outspoken personality.

If Old Ma's opening remarks were shocking and unexpected, then upon closer examination they are quite reasonable. After all, given his current situation and position, it is only natural for him to speak up for Ant Group.

Chen Mo, who is widely recognized as a "brave and ruthless person," actually chose to be patient in such a crucial situation and made such a moderate, peaceful, and conventional speech, which was completely unexpected and unreasonable.

The excitement on the faces of many media reporters who were waiting to capture breaking news gradually turned into astonishment, disappointment, and even dissatisfaction.

The climactic battle they had anticipated never materialized.

The leaders sitting in the first row below the stage finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that Lao Ma started the show with a bang was already making them nervous. If Chen Mo, the final act, added fuel to the fire, it would be an outcome they didn't want to see, especially in front of outsiders.

The tone of this high-level forum will be completely changed.
