Chapter 382: First Meeting
On Sunday, Shen Hui received a call from a big leader in Beijing, who talked to him about the pattern and vision of entrepreneurs, as well as the responsibilities and missions of entrepreneurs, and encouraged him to make persistent efforts to create greater brilliance.
On Monday, Shen Hui did not go to the company, but went directly to the city.
There was also Wei Zongru who went with him, and this time Lao Mei's team also had his acquaintances.
Lao Mei arrived at 10 o'clock in the morning, the city arranged to pick up the airport, directly arranged the hotel after picking people over, and then had dinner, the formal meeting began in the afternoon, and there were a few small meetings in the morning, and the explanation should be explained again.
This time, the biggest boss was present in person and made a few requests.
Shen Hui was also like everyone else, obediently sat down and listened.
Fortunately, the meeting was not long, it ended in less than an hour, and then a small meeting was held, and the big bosses and senior leaders of the city government led the relevant departments to explain the latest deployment, and the business representatives were Shen Hui, and some questions involved Xinghai.
I had a few meetings, and it was time for lunch.
Shen Hui didn't go back, he had lunch in the city, and rested in the room arranged by the city.
Director Yuan also came over, took advantage of the lunch break to visit Shen Hui, conveyed some specific contents of the Beijing talks and some key contents involving Xinghai in person, and finally talked about the specific ideas and requirements above.
"Xinghai Investment is the only financial enterprise with global influence and competitiveness in China, global enterprises should have a global vision and pattern, revitalize the automobile industry, help the development of the manufacturing industry can reflect the responsibility, but more should look at the world, cooperation and competition is the main theme of survival and development, the country, the global enterprises are even more so. ”
"Over the past 20 years since China's accession to the WTO, the leading enterprises in China have been actively participating in the competition of globalization, and as long as the leading enterprises in various fields can actively participate in the competition of globalization, they can better cope with the blockade of the West and play a greater role......
Director Yuan conveyed the original words of some big leaders, and his expectations were very high.
Some of the words were not explicitly stated, but Shen Hui could understand them.
The vision and pattern of globalization involves a long-term strategy......
Shen Hui proposed two paths to Xinghai, and the high-level leaders of Xinghai all believed that the first path should be taken without exception, and Wei Zongru even personally drafted a strategic plan, which included the specific content of the globalization strategy.
But the problem is that if you want to participate in the global competition, you have to make trade-offs and sacrifices.
Some things are very sensitive, so Shen Hui was still thinking about it, but he didn't expect the big leader to express his position directly.
After Director Yuan left, Shen Hui still couldn't take a nap, and the secretary came to call someone, and the biggest boss was invited.
Shen Hui had no choice but to go to see the big boss.
It's not the first time we've met, it's often seen at meetings, and it's the first time I've been summoned individually.
The big boss is the big boss, much more direct than the other big boss, equally elegant and easy-going, and very cordial, but the conversation is very casual, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Shen's growth and the development speed of Xinghai Investment are beyond the expectations of many people, I wanted to see you last year, I was worried that the time was too short, so I wanted to see it again, now I am relieved, how about it, can I still hold on?"
It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me Xiao Shen, and this title is quite fresh.
Shen Hui was a little in a trance, but his thinking was very clear, this big boss could not be seen easily, he understood in his heart what he represented when he summoned himself alone, and he also knew what the big boss asked, so he didn't dare to be careless, and said carefully: "It's okay, within the rules of the game, Xinghai has the confidence to compete with global capital, I'm afraid that some people will flip the table and play hooligan." ”
The big boss smiled and said: "It's good that you have this confidence, you are not afraid of hooligans, as long as we are tough enough, we are not afraid of some crooked ways." Comrade Liu Yu has called you, global enterprises should have a global vision and pattern, finance is the blood of the economy, finance is not strong, how to talk about a strong country, we must first make the main business bigger and stronger, in order to further participate in the global competition, play a greater role, of course, your dream is also good, after all, industry is also very important!"
Shen Hui was a little embarrassed, and felt more and more that the pattern was indeed a little smaller.
Both big leaders told him this, and they all reminded him not to waste his talent.
Fortunately, the big leader immediately changed the topic and asked: "Do you have any plans to move Xinghai Investment to other cities?"
Shen Hui hurriedly said: "No, Shanghai is the most suitable city for Xinghai Investment to base itself on development." ”
"That's good!"
The big boss smiled with satisfaction, and although his tone was very kind, it gave people inexplicable pressure.
Talking to this kind of big boss, Shen Hui is not so casual, every sentence has to be thought of, and he dares to say it only if there is no problem, and after chatting for about fifteen minutes, he saw the big boss looking at the time, and then he got up and said goodbye.
When I returned to the room, my sleepiness was gone, and I was still thinking about the conversation I had just had with the big boss.
The big boss is different, the position is different, and the speech is much more direct than that of another big boss, and there is no euphemism at all, but he told him nakedly that he was honest and stayed in Shanghai and was not allowed to move.
Shen Hui pondered the meaning behind this separate summons, analyzed the far-reaching impact of Xinghai's previous major actions, and then synthesized some conclusions drawn by the think tank, and gradually had a number in his heart and knew what to do.
In the afternoon, the first round of meetings was held in the city.
Shen Hui did not attend, this was an official meeting, and he had nothing to do.
Nearly an hour later, at a meeting between the business and commercial circles, Shen Hui met with a delegation from Lao Mei at the conference center, and there were more than a dozen people, but the official people did not come, and the talks on the other side were basically all business bigwigs, headed by Warren Buffett, who was already 90 years old; his own side was quite large, and the government was dominant, while the business circles were bigwigs in the insurance, banking, securities, and investment circles.
The hair is all white, but it looks very energetic.
At this age, there is really no one who can still run around in a plane.
Shen Hui's grandfather, who had passed away for many years, was not as old as the old man.
Shake hands one by one and line up to say hello.
"Mr. Shen, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Finally it was Shen Hui's turn, and the old man held Shen's hand and smiled brightly.
"I'm glad to meet you, too!"
Shen Hui held the old man's hand, polite and thoughtful, after all, people are older than his grandfather who passed away a long time ago, and he can't lack courtesy in public, and said with a smile: "You were once my idol, and it was my honor to meet you." ”
"I'm honored. ”
The old man smiled and said: "But now you are my idol, and you are also the idol of thousands of American teenagers with dreams, I am looking forward to Mr. Shen's visit to the United States, Time Magazine has prepared a cover for you." ”
"It's an honor!"
Shen Hui was modest and not rude, he wanted to talk to the old man more, but it was not the time.
The old man didn't say much, shook his hand again, and then walked forward.
The reporters who took pictures were excited, the big news is coming, this old man is too old, too old, although he is also very modest and polite when shaking hands with others, but at most he is a polite greeting, which is obviously different from Boss Shen.
It is said that Niu B, the boss of Xinghai Investment, has not been able to dig up the exact first-hand information.
Now that I have dug up big news, listen to what the old man said, the old man's current idol, although it is a kind word, it is enough to be hot, it can be regarded as big news, and I am looking forward to Boss Shen's visit to the United States, etc., can there be something more exciting?
A female reporter instantly thought of the title: Revealing Buffett's idol candidate.
But......
Looking at the tender face surnamed Shen, the reporter felt a little sour in his heart.
At this age, I have reached the peak, and then I see that I am still ......
I can't say it!
Thinking about it too much is sad and tearful.
The key is that I didn't have time to think about it, and my heart was sour, so I had to cheer up and continue to capture the camera, hoping to find some more exciting news, but I was disappointed that I didn't find any valuable news.
Once everyone is seated, the process begins.
The senior leader spoke first, talking about the principle of opening up and the investment environment.
Then the US representative took the floor and raised his hopes, and the US official made it official.
Shen Hui was ranked third, and the draft of his speech was given by the secretary of the big boss, which was definitely in the right direction.
To be honest, he is very annoyed about reading the manuscript, but he can't be willful on this occasion, he can only read the manuscript honestly, he reads it boring, but the foreigners below listen to it very patiently, and all of them are real gold.
The manuscript was quite long, and I read it freely for half an hour.
Applause rang out below, Shen Hui stepped down, and the representative of the US side took the stage.
It's all official, but everything that should be expressed is expressed, so I listened very carefully and no one took a nap.
Shen Hui was also listening with his ears pricked up, trying to capture and understand the other party's true intentions.
The exchange is over, and it's dinner time.
Moving to the dining room, the seats were also arranged in advance, and Shen Hui and the old man were at the same table.
The seats are right next to each other, and I don't know if it's a coincidence or intention.
But apparently just right.
The old man smiled and asked, "Mr. Shen rarely communicates with people in English?"
Shen Hui nodded, he has worked very hard, but the foundation is poor, and he usually uses it less, it is already good to be able to communicate with people, and he can't be too demanding, and said: "It is true that it is used very little, can you communicate in Chinese?"
The old man's smile remained unchanged: "It's a pity, I don't know Chinese, I used to study Chinese, Chinese is too complicated, it's really difficult to learn, so I gave up, and now I kind of regret that I didn't stick to it at the beginning." ”
Shen Hui smiled: "You only need to live in China for one year to learn Chinese." ”
The old man shook his head and said: "I am already ninety years old, I have been in a strange environment for too long, I am afraid that my body will not agree, and Mr. Shen is not yet thirty, if I can live in the United States for a few years, I will definitely speak English better." ”
Shen Hui smiled and nodded: "I also believe that if I live in the United States for a period of time, I will definitely be able to practice my English well, but this year's new crown epidemic is not well controlled in the United States, so I don't have much sense of security." ”
