Chapter 2130 Remember 2005 (Part 2)

At noon, the Great Hall of the People at the foot of Baoshi Mountain and the West Lake was bustling again.

However, the bustle this time was very different from the bustle the day before. The security level of this meeting was much higher than that of the day before.

Because of the presence of former US President Clinton and the presence of a number of senior executives and heads of well-known domestic and foreign companies, the level of officials attending the meeting was also greatly improved compared with the last time. The top two leaders of the province both attended this grand event.

In Maybach, Lao Ma was a little embarrassed, "This theme, now it seems, was set a little hastily,"

"I think it's good," Feng Yiping looked at the brochure in his hand.

The theme of the first West Lake Sword Discussion organized by Lao Ma was the new millennium, the new economy, and the new Internet heroes.

It was all a beautiful yearning for the new century.

But unfortunately, ideals are full, but reality is often very skinny.

Not long after entering the new century, the Internet bubble burst all of a sudden. Among the guests of the first session, some were eliminated and some companies were suspended.

So the theme of the second session was to return from romance to reality, to wake up from the broken dream, "operation, profit, growth," very pragmatic.

But in the third session, in 2002, because life was still difficult, people who were pragmatic but still couldn't see the future still needed a little inspiration from dreams to warm themselves up and support their progress, so the theme was again expectation and prospect, "The excitement after the bubble: the Internet changes life,"

But the bubble had not passed at that time.

By the third session, the situation finally improved, and even domestic Internet companies - mainly portals at that time, because of the SMS business, they made profits and led other Internet companies in the world, and came out of the bubble, so they shouted a little proudly, "China: the next wave!"

Whether it was the next wave is another matter, but it is estimated that those guys were really wave-like in their hearts at that time.

After a year of silence in 2004, Lao Ma, who once again launched this conference as the initiator this year, is no longer the Lao Ma of last year. Because he defeated eBay, he is confident, and because of the cooperation with Feng Yiping, his waist is thicker.

In addition, he is optimistic about the prospects of e-commerce, so he set the theme of this year's conference early.

This theme is very domineering and also reveals his ambition, that is, "the world."

This seems to be his declaration, at least to his domestic peers. In the past, you were like a revolving lantern, leading the trend for a while, but starting from this year, in the field of Internet in China, it is the beginning of me being the king.

Feng Yiping always feels that before Lao Ma finally set this theme, he should have just watched Lao Mouzi's "Hero".

Of course, Lao Ma's explanation to Feng Yiping is very grand and familiar, "I want to express our pursuit and vision, and hope that through our efforts, there will be no difficult business in the world."

Feng Yiping does not believe that a person who loves martial arts would have such an idea when using the word "the world".

Because the lineup of guests this year is unexpectedly brilliant, and the level of official participation is so high, the domineering theme he set does seem a bit discordant.

For some people, this theme may make them feel funny.

Premier Zhou said, "Study for the rise of China," that is the great ambition of the great man. If someone says the same thing today, it would be funny. There is really nothing to say.

For some people, this theme will make them feel a little out of place.

Businessmen are businessmen.

Even if we evaluate objectively, although this theme is overbearing, as the theme of a folk meeting, it has a sense of grassroots.

The problem is that the propaganda has been publicized long ago, and it is definitely not easy to change it, so Feng Yiping and Lao Ma discussed and added a subtitle, "China & the World".

Although the foreign guests may have opinions and think that the Chinese counterparts are a little self-righteous, after this addition, this theme has been established, and it is very grand and completely worthy of the guests who came today.

"Yeah, I think it's good too," Lao Ma smiled and touched the blue propaganda leaflet.

Tsk, it's really narcissistic.

Before getting off the car, he suddenly grabbed Feng Yiping's hand, "When you meet the former president, you won't talk about money, will you?"

"Don't worry, I know my limits," Feng Yiping looked at him with some amusement.

"Even if it's a joke, you can't mention it," Lao Ma reminded him again.

"I know, after all, he is a former president," Feng Yiping said.

Their car slowly stopped in front of the Great Hall, and Schmidt got out of the second car, "Feng, Jack,"

Then, it was General Manager Liu's car.

Domestic and foreign guests arrived at the venue in intervals.

Feng Yiping and Lao Ma once again did the work of welcoming guests, welcoming them in one by one, and when they finally got in, they found that the former president was surrounded by a large group of people in the middle, looking very kind.

Schmidt, who was standing next to him, saw Feng Yiping coming in, and smiled and said something in front of Bill, and Bill immediately looked at Feng Yiping's place, smiled and raised his hand, and then, together with Schmidt, came to greet him and Lao Ma.

Lao Ma glanced at Feng Yiping and saw that there seemed to be a different light in his eyes. That light made him feel a little uneasy, and he coughed in a low voice.

Feng Yiping glanced at Lao Ma.

He was indeed thinking about something at the moment, but those things were really not serious.

What he was thinking was, should he follow the example of another Bill and shake hands with this Bill?

As we all know, Bill always shakes hands with everyone he meets, and sometimes puts the other hand in his trouser pocket.

When he shook hands with Bill who was in office back then, he was still the domineering CEO with one hand on his hip.

But after looking at Lao Ma's eyes, he gave up the idea. That Bill was the richest man in the world for many years, and he was not yet.

That Bill is also much older than me.

Of course, the main thing is that Bill is an American, and I am Chinese, and the customs are different. If I do this now, regardless of other people's opinions, I am afraid that I will be scolded by my parents very soon. Telephone.

The son they taught should not be like that.

He followed Lao Ma, quickened his pace slightly, and walked up to the guests from the passage where the guests were automatically separated. He raised his hands and bowed slightly, "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. President,"

Lao Ma gave an evaluation next to him: Perfect!

He is very generous and calm, very polite, and has a good sense of control. There is no flattery at all, and no deliberate attempt to please.

Although he was very polite, there was an element of equality in his politeness.

Clinton held Feng Yiping's hand and patted his hand with the other hand, "Mr. Feng, I finally meet you, you know what?"

He smiled and said to everyone around him, "I used to be a NEXTDOOR user. Now, I am a Facebook user. I also uploaded videos on YouTube."

Feng Yiping really felt that the former president had participated in too many commercial activities recently. This advertisement was placed so appropriately that he even wanted to take the initiative to pay for the advertisement.

This man deserves to be the president, awesome!

"I think my colleagues must be very happy that the products they have developed can serve Mr. President,"

"Haha, it's just Feng. I often play the games on your website. Why can't my scores improve? Is there a secret? I know that engineers always have extra powerful commands, don't they?"

"I have remembered your request. I will definitely let them try to see if there is such an order. Mr. President, please let me introduce to you. This is my partner Jack Ma, who is the initiator of this meeting. "Feng Yiping smiled and introduced Lao Ma to him.

"Mr. President," Lao Ma, like Feng Yiping, also raised his hands and bowed slightly, "Thank you very much for your support of our meeting,"

"I am very happy to participate in such a meeting," Clinton said. "I am very happy to see that the Internet has developed so much now. I am also very happy to see that in the United States and China, new technologies represented by the Internet are developing rapidly." The economy, after the cold wave, can shine even brighter than before,"

Feng Yiping had already met with the main leaders of the province, and then, under the guidance of the staff, everyone walked outside again.

Before the conference begins, everyone takes a group photo.
