Chapter 387 Invitation to Davos Forum

(Evil capitalists, they are dragged to work overtime on weekends! My update~my World Cup~!!! There is no way, I can only add another update on Monday.) "Boss, I just received an invitation I have sent a letter to invite you to attend the World Economic Forum to be held in the small town of Davos in 10 days, how should I reply here."

After a fierce and friendly exercise just now, Yang Cheng got up from the sweaty Emma, ​​holding up his mobile phone and panting, he asked, "Davos Forum? Why did you suddenly invite me?"

Yang Cheng is a little confused, so it's not that he feels that he is not qualified, but that he caused a bloodbath in Switzerland on the front foot, and was invited to participate in the annual Davos event in Switzerland on the back foot, which made him a little confused~ and even more confusing What's more interesting is that such invitations are usually sent out several months in advance, and then the invitees will reply whether they are invited to attend. How can there be any reason to send out invitations less than 10 days before the meeting?

Susu didn't understand the reason, but just told Yang Cheng what she knew, "I don't know, but it is said that this year's conference will have more than 2,500 guests from 140 countries confirmed to attend the conference, including 1,500 global business leaders. This number has set a new high in the number of participants in Davos over the years."

After a pause, he continued, "According to the Davos staff, the theme of this year's forum annual meeting is "New Global Landscape." According to the agenda, there will be more than 280 seminars this year, with topics related to geopolitical crises, climate change Changes, economic growth and monetary policy, new energy patterns and many other aspects.

It will also focus on environment and resource scarcity, employability skills and human resources, gender equality, long-term investment, infrastructure and development, food security and agriculture, international trade and investment, the future of the Internet, global crime and anti-corruption, social inclusion and financial system prospects and other issues, and more than 40 heads of state, including country Z, have confirmed to attend the meeting. "

Yang Cheng squeezed the center of her eyebrows. It seems that there are many important people present this time, and it is a good opportunity to connect with each other. In this case, let's go for a while, and settle the bank matter by the way, and take advantage of the time to think. He took a breath and replied, "Then you can reply there, and I will be there on time."

"I know the boss."

Hanging up the phone, pondering for a moment, patted Emma's limp delicate body, "Go and wash first, I have to make a phone call."

Emma opened her eyes, but didn't want to move, she turned her back with great effort and ignored Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng had no choice but to sit by the bed and call the old stock god.

"Good afternoon, Jason, did you call suddenly?" Warren Buffett's energetic voice came.

"Good afternoon, Warren, I have something to ask you, will you attend the Davos Forum at the end of the month?"

"Hehe, I knew you would call. Of course I will attend. I asked the forum to send you an invitation letter. You have to attend this financial summit and Internet conference. Many people want to be with you. Have a good chat with this young talent." The old stock god teased with a half-smile.

"Warren, you didn't dig a hole in Davos and wait for me to jump in?" Yang Cheng tentatively asked.

The old stock god laughed, "You think too much, little guy, the opportunity to communicate with elites from all walks of life without barriers, but others can't get it. Why do you sound disgusted?"

Yang Cheng complained unhappily, "Dealing with you old foxes, if you are not careful, there will be no bones left that have been swallowed long ago. Is there still a chance to call you here?"

"Oh, Jason, it makes me sad when you say that."

"When I didn't say it, see you in Davos."

Throwing away the phone angrily, talking to this group of old shameless guys, he was so angry that he vomited blood every minute.

Getting back under the covers again, looking at Emma Watson's increasingly delicate profile, she couldn't help but sigh that the little magician of the Magic Academy has grown up. Compared with other disabled European and American child stars, Emma is really blessed by heaven, With the growth of age, become mature and attractive,

The warm sun in the afternoon radiated a lazy charm, and the smell of a little woman hooked Yang Cheng to forget the fatigue at that time, and there was a heroic urge to fight another three hundred rounds.

But I'm going to play polo in a while, and now I'm so weak that I can't even ride a horse, that's a shame.

Speaking of polo, it is not only exciting and one of the most difficult sports in the world, but also a veritable noble sport.

This statement is correct! Except for the Argentines, only a relatively small number of people in the world have the opportunity to get in touch with this sport. According to statistics, there are about 350 polo players in Germany, about 200 in France, about 150 in Asia, and less than 50 in country Z.

The reason why there are few polo players may be that as a polo enthusiast, they often cannot face the fear of polo’s high-speed movement. Of course, it is also an indisputable fact that it costs a lot and takes too much time.

Therefore, those who can really enjoy the unparalleled charm of polo are all dignitaries, and only they have the time and money to calm down and experience the ancient and noble sport of polo. Its charm is not to "fight" people can never understand.

Even if you consider yourself a master of horseback riding, you will still lose your confidence when you are on the polo field. This sport combines speed, strategy, technology, thinking and teamwork spirit, as well as speed and passion, coupled with unpredictable tactics. Stopping suddenly, turning sharply and hitting the ball accurately at the same time, it is like a brave warrior in ancient times fighting on the battlefield, reaching the state of unity of man and horse, which also explains why polo is called "the sport of the emperor"

When it comes to the history of polo, people who may not know polo will always attribute the birthplace of this sport to the former empire on which the sun never sets. In fact, tracing back to the source, polo was born in at least 2,000 years ago. The steppes of Central Asia and the ancient country of Persia, which is now Iran.

At that time, polo was loved by nomadic cavalry and became a training item for cavalry to fight on horseback. It took about 400 years before polo evolved from this similar military training to an ancient Persian and Turkmen sport. Recreational sports and regular performances in front of audiences.

As time went by, polo gradually became a national sport, and won the favor of the Persian nobles and many government officials at that time.

In the 13th century AD, polo was introduced to India. The word "Polo" is derived from the Indian word "pulu", which refers to a kind of wood for making polo. Indian nobles have always regarded polo as a symbol of courage and skill. It symbolizes that the princes of the Brahmins in North India also used this sport to prove who has more qualities to become a king.

It was not until the middle of the 19th century that British plantation owners discovered the sport in Assam in northeastern India and introduced the sport to England, which became the source of modern polo. Once on the stage of the Olympic Games, its history is not without origin.

"Honey, I've only played polo a few times, and I'm not good at it. It's okay to play, but I can't play at all." On the way to the polo club, Emma Watson's fair face was full of intoxicating Feeling peachy, her eyes full of love, the soft, glutinous and coquettish Xiao Suyin almost made Yang Cheng unable to hold back again.

"It was just for fun. If I really want to play a game with a bunch of old men, wouldn't I be so depressed." Yang Cheng sat in the back of the Mercedes-Benz, with his hands behind his head, and said leisurely.

The Mercedes Benz drove west along the narrow path, passed through the beautiful pastoral scenery, and slowly drove into the Santa Barbara Polo Club, which was established in 1910.

This house has a long history and is an important place for polo competitions and social gatherings for rich and powerful families, political figures, and celebrities. Polo Club", "The Most Popular Polo Club on the Pacific Coast" and "The Summer Polo Capital of the United States".

It is worth mentioning that St. Paul, an internationally renowned clothing brand with the logo of the Santa Barbara Polo Club as its trademark, was born here.

The Santa Barbara Polo Club is still a must-choice place for many wealthy people living in California, especially in June and July every year when the white sea bass migrates, and when the lobsters open in October, they are like migratory birds with their friends Same

Rush from all over California to Santa Barbara, play bass and catch lobsters, play polo in the morning, go surfing on the beach in the afternoon, and have a picnic with your beloved woman and close friends in the shade of green grass during lunch break. Heaven.

The car put the two of them in front of the club's red-roofed white building, passed through the antique lobby with original western characteristics, and went straight to the VIP building behind the atrium garden.

Here, in addition to the polo games officially held by the club, there will be spontaneous polo games in the morning and afternoon in the rest of the time. The first condition to participate in it is to become a member of the club. When you wear a member-exclusive When it comes to polo club badges, if there is a lack of people on both sides, you can be welcomed by enthusiastic rich people.

Yang Cheng is a member of the club, but it has been 7 or 8 years since he visited the club last time. Today is purely a whim. I haven’t touched a polo club for a long time. In the case of being so close to this polo holy place , It’s really unreasonable not to play a few balls. As for why he has to drag Emma Watson, he will not admit that he pretends to be 13. The charm of men is infinitely magnified when they are exercising, and they are the most attractive to women. .

"Mr. Yang, I am a VIP account manager, please call me Parker, I am very happy to serve you."

Yang Cheng and Emma had just stepped into the steps of the VIP building when a greasy-faced young man in a gray polo uniform with meticulously combed hair greeted him with one hand behind his back and the other in front of his lower abdomen, bowing slightly in greeting.

Emma smiled politely wearing sunglasses and nodded. Yang Cheng went up the steps and glanced at the handsome young man, then nodded and said, "Hi Parker, thank you for your enthusiasm, take us to change clothes."
