720【Boao Forum】

At this year's Boao Forum, the first project is to play golf. In fact, it is to hold a golf club to provide a platform for free communication for those Chinese and foreign business elites.

Song Weiyang didn't go to play golf. He flew to Qiongdao that afternoon. When he got there, he happened to be the reception dinner.

In fact, the forum officially started in the afternoon, and a roundtable meeting of young leaders was held. The participants were from all walks of life. There were young Chinese and foreign officials, as well as media people like Bai Yansong, as well as business elites such as Ding Sanshi, Chen Nanpeng, and Huo Dazi. The topic they discussed was "Environmental Protection and Development".

The real estate industry forum was held in the evening. The speakers were small targets, including Big Lao Wang, Pan Shiyi, Wang Shitou, Ren Dazui, etc., and some officials from relevant departments attended.

Ren Dazui was cheated by the media again this time. His original intention was: social security and market distribution should be given equal importance. The social security system is to allow people who cannot afford to buy a house to live in, such as low-rent housing, affordable housing, etc., but it is definitely not to live in a good house for people who cannot afford to buy a house. If they cannot afford to buy a house and live comfortably, it will disrupt the market distribution order.

The title of the media report is: "Ren Dazui: The government cannot make people who cannot afford a house live comfortably."

This news was posted on the Internet that night, becoming a hot topic on the first day of the Boao Forum. Many netizens only saw the title and started squirting in the comment area. Anyway, they are used to it, and they will continue to swear wildly for more than ten years in the future - this guy always says something easily ambiguous, and speaks naked from the perspective of real estate developers.

The next morning, a large number of group forums were held at the same time.

There is a Green Energy Forum, the speaker is a foreigner (President of Ogilvy Group Asia Pacific), and the participants are mainly the bosses of oil, automobiles and other companies. Some Chinese and foreign officials also participated, such as Iran's deputy minister of the oil ministry.

There is a telecom industry forum, and the speaker is the boss of the Information Industry Department. The president of China Mobile, chairman of India Tata Group, chief strategy officer of Microsoft, and Shenzhou Technology Ceo Chen Fuxing and others attended the forum and expressed their opinions.

There are also many small forums such as financial reform, corporate responsibility, world trade, etc. Song Weiyang saw a lot of acquaintances, but he did not participate in a single forum.

The leader came at noon that day. Song Weiyang was fortunate to be summoned and was called to the lounge for a full 15 minutes.

In the afternoon, another group of forums was held at the same time, with many acquaintances on the Internet forums.

Sogou CEO Ding Ming was a special guest speaker, and other Samsung vice chairman, Ma Xiaoyun, Xiao Ma Ge, Zhang Chaoyang and others attended. Although Zhang Chaoyang was beaten so hard that he was only involved in Sohu Video, he was still the nominal Sohu CEO, and he attended such public activities on behalf of Sohu.

There was a party that night, and Song Weiyang was surrounded by people.

In fact, his main activities in the past two days are to deal with entrepreneurs from all walks of life, and also communicate with some officials at home and abroad.

On the third day of the forum, the 30th roundtable meeting for reform and opening up. Most media reporters were banned from entering this venue. Only official media reporters could take photos, but videos were banned from the whole process.

There were three people sitting on the stage, one was CCTV Finance host Chen Weihong, one was scholar-type official Chi Fulin, and the other was Dele Global Ceo Kuilijie (foreigner). The others were sitting below, and each had a microphone in front of each, with more than 200 Chinese and foreign entrepreneurs and scholars participating.

Song Weiyang met Ma Xiaoyun outside the venue: "Old Song, why didn't you participate in the Internet forum yesterday?"

"It's enough to have you. I'm just an Internet investment person." Song Weiyang smiled.

The two of them met many entrepreneurs along the way, including the bosses of many state-owned enterprises such as CNOOC and CMO.

Song Weiyang was arranged to sit on the right in the middle, with Director Fan of the National Economic Research Institute on the left, Old friend Liu Yonghao on the right, and Ma Xiaoyun was sitting in the second row.

The three hosts on the stage soon started chatting and reviewed and evaluated the achievements made in China's 30 years of reform and opening up.

"We're making a small game now," said Chen Weihong. "There are four animals: elephant, tiger, monkey and eagle. If you want to choose one as your corporate image, which one will the bosses here choose? Start with Mr. Wang."

Mr. Wang, who was moving in the middle, smiled and said, "I choose the elephant."

Chen Weihong asked: "Why?"

Mr. Wang explained: "The image of an elephant is kind, very stable, not aggressive, and willing to help others. It's like China. China will soon become the third largest economy in the world. Although it is very big, China is still a developing country. Mobile companies are also developing and are very big. While we are developing, we will also develop with Chinese society and the Chinese people. Moreover, elephants are the largest terrestrial animal in the world. I hope that one day mobile companies can also become the world's number one."

Chen Hongwei asked several questions in a row, and asked Song Weiyang again: "Where is Boss Song?"

"It's also an elephant," said Song Weiyang, "but I have a different view from Mr. Wang. Elephants are extremely aggressive animals. As long as they invade the elephant's territory, the elephant will definitely destroy it. The same is true for my business philosophy. Generally speaking, I develop steadily and will not take the initiative to provoke others. Everyone lives in peace and progress together. But if anyone invades my territory, I will not compromise."

"If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend others." Chi Fulin concluded.

"Yes." Song Weiyang said.

Chen Hongwei asked: "Where is Boss Ma?"

Ma Xiaoyun said: "I choose monkeys. I don't want to be the first. The bigger the company, the greater the responsibility. We need to help more small and medium-sized enterprises, private enterprises, and everyone is happy monkeys together."

Mr. Wei of China Oceanwide Group said: "I choose eagles. Companies should occupy the high ground and gain insight into everything like eagles."

After choosing about 20 entrepreneurs to make the choice, Chen Weihong began to enter the next stage: telling the most unforgettable first he had experienced in 30 years of reform and opening up.

This topic is much more lively, with entrepreneurs speaking out, recalling the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness, and expressing the past in all kinds of feelings.

When it was Song Weiyang's turn, he smiled and said, "No first is the most unforgettable. I regard every choice as the first time. Maybe it's because I'm too young and haven't come yet to like memories. My company and I still have a long way to go in the future."

This is just a show-off. The entrepreneurs present are older than Song Weiyang and are not as rich as Song Weiyang.

"Where is Mr. Liu?" Chen Hongwei asked.

Liu Yonghao first reviewed his entrepreneurial experience and said, "There are many firsts in his life. My next first is to fulfill my social responsibilities. I plan to invest 100 million yuan and help 100 villages in three years to establish pig-raising, chicken-raising and fish-raising cooperatives, and unite farmers to form an industrial chain system. At the same time, I also need to prepare a guarantee company to solve the problem of financing difficulties for farmers."

Song Weiyang suddenly interrupted, "Brother Liu, don't hear your words by environmental protection experts."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

There was a burst of laughter in the audience.

This is not a joke, but at the forum two days ago, four foreigners promoted the concept of vegetarianism and called on people all over the world to eat less meat.

One is the Nobel Peace Prize winner last year, one is the chairman of Philips, the other is the representative of the United Nations Development Agency in China, and the other is the animal husbandry research expert of Nibenzene. It is said that eating too much meat affects the environment, causing a surge in carbon dioxide emissions, and it will also be harmful to your body.

Liu Yonghao said: "Those people are full! In China in the 1980s and 1990s, how many farmers rely on breeding to subsidize their household income. Especially for raising chickens, many rural children rely on eggs to increase nutrition. There are also pigs. Rural teachers urged tuition fees. The most common sentence students answered was: 'My mother said, when the family sells fat pigs, they will pay the tuition fees!' No meat is eaten, who will farmers sell pigs to? What should they rely on to pay the tuition fees for their children?"

"Well said!" Mr. Chen from Qiongdao Airlines applauded.

We soon talked to the next part, each person showed a photo, posted the photo on the exhibition wall, and told the story behind the photo.

Oh my god, this thing is so sensational, it’s almost the same as "Art Life". The scene seemed to have become a conference on remembering bitterness and sweetness. It was all about how difficult I was in the past, how miserable I was, how could I break through obstacles and achieve success, and I must emphasize the help brought by the correct decision-making of the central government.

Song Weiyang found out that he shouldn't have come. This is a group of old men collectively recalling the past!

Wang Shitou and Pan Shiyi all say how difficult it was to do real estate back then. They were already on the verge of bankruptcy until the central government opened the real estate market.

Ma Xiaoyun showed a photo of the Great Wall, which was the photo of him taking a team to visit the Great Wall when he was about to leave Beijing to start a business. This immediately extended the huge impact of China's reform and opening up and economic development on the e-commerce industry.

Song Weiyang went on stage with a smile and posted a photo on the display wall. He immediately explained: "This is the first photo of the successful streaming of the Xiaolingtong RF chip in Shenzhou Technology, and this is also the first successfully commercialized mobile phone RF chip in China. At that time, Shenzhou Technology relied on Xiaolingtong's business and its business had just started. But we invested as much money as possible in scientific research projects, and now we have achieved self-produced baseband chips for Shenzhou smartphones..."

Hearing this, Mr. Ren from the audience suddenly smiled bitterly. The person in charge of the Shenzhou baseband chip project team is an employee who changed jobs from Huawei back then.

"Technology is the primary productivity," Song Weiyang was still showing off. "Last year, Shenzhou smartphones were launched in China for nine months, with a cumulative sales of 3.53 million units. In the United States, it had a cumulative sales of 870,000 units, and the global total sales exceeded 25 billion yuan! How did this be done? Because we are committed to scientific research and innovation, the Shenzhou smartphone project alone invested more than 2 billion yuan in R&D funds! If Chinese companies want to develop, they must practice their internal skills and improve their scientific research strength and innovation capabilities..."

The entrepreneurs present didn't want to talk anymore. Everyone was clearly recalling the bitterness and sweetness. What does it mean to show off your achievements?

Especially Mr. Li of TCL and Mr. Ren of Huawei, both of them have suffered a lot of losses in the mobile phone field. They both invested a lot of money but could not occupy the market. On the other hand, Shenzhou Technology, the smartphone alone, sold in China for 9 months and in the United States for 3 months, has an annual sales of 25 billion yuan!

Comparing people with others is so annoying.

Other entrepreneurs were also shocked because Shenzhou Technology is not a listed company and all kinds of data do not need to be disclosed to the public. They only know that Shenzhou smart phones are selling well, and that Shenzhou Technology has made a lot of money, but they did not expect that the real data is so scary.

Those competitors who also make mobile phones, not only Huawei and TCL, but also other brands, were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Let me put it this way, last year, the sales of China's smartphones accounted for only 12.6% of China's total sales, but accounted for 60% of the total sales.

In summary, Shenzhou sold 24 million ordinary mobile phones in China last year, with the average price of each mobile phone being only more than 570 yuan, and the profit margin is even more ridiculously low - this is the norm in the industry, including Lenovo, Huawei, and TCL!

"Smack it!"

No matter how envy you are, no matter how speechless you are, you still have to give applause.

The reporter who was allowed to come in to listen (not interviews) quickly recorded the data in a small notebook and posted it on the portal that night. The annual sales of single products of Shenzhou smartphones was 25 billion yuan, which immediately caused heated discussions among netizens, and even experts from all walks of life came to join in the fun.

A netizen's focus was very unique. He complained on the Tianya Forum: "This is a 5,800-dollar mobile phone, and it actually sold more than 3.5 million in nine months in China. Where do so many rich people come from in China?"

The answer is that there are rich people everywhere.

As soon as the meeting ended, Song Weiyang received various invitations, all of whom were invited to dinner and to play basketball to contact each other.

The official staff of the Boao Forum specially called the entrepreneurs together and divided them into several batches for group photos. Among the hundreds of entrepreneurs, Song Weiyang always stood in the C position, and Mr. Liu is often next to him.

Mr. Liu’s memories today are also very good at thinking about bitterness and sweetness. He said that he was selling goods by bicycle when he first started his business, and how to stick to the end under the impact of foreign brands.

However, Song Weiyang is obviously more popular and respected than him, because Song Weiyang is very rich!

Even though Google's stock price has begun to plummet, Song Weiyang's assets are not as many as Forbes announced at the beginning of the year. But he still stands among these entrepreneurs, which is equivalent to the difference between a billionaire and a millionaire, and is not at the same level at all.

By the way, Song Weiyang has officially withdrew from the "Chinese Entrepreneur Club" and accepted the invitation from the editor-in-chief of "China Business" to join the "Chinese Entrepreneur Club" - originally called "Chinese Business Entrepreneur Club", Song Weiyang asked the other party to change his name because he felt it was unpleasant.

These two magazines and two clubs have been in a competitive relationship for a long time, but the former has the support of Taishan Association, and gradually it has left the latter eight streets.

Now that Song Weiyang has agreed to join and serve as chairman, he immediately brought in a large number of top entrepreneurs. Although many people join on both sides, the two major business camps in China are becoming more and more obvious.

Mr. Liu did not communicate with Song Weiyang throughout the whole process, and the two had deep grudges. In addition to commercial competition, Song Weiyang also invited Academician Ni to serve as a senior consultant in Shenzhou, and Academician Ni publicly scolded President Liu for several years.

"Boss Song, wait a moment!" Dean Zhang chased after him and shouted.

Song Weiyang had a headache and turned around and smiled, "Director Zhang is still here? I thought you have left Qiongdao."

The President Zhang of Peking University Guanghua College has been promoted from vice president to chief dean. This time he also came to the Boao Forum, and he pestered Song Weiyang in various ways and forced Dr. Ma to give a lecture at Peking University, talking about the development and growth of Shenzhou Technology.

President Zhang kept nagging, and Song Weiyang was so annoyed that he agreed casually.
