Mount Emei, State Guesthouse. On the eve of the Shushan Sword Conference.

The moon is full of stars, and the five-star hotel hidden in the jungle is full of lights that do not belong to the silence of the mountains at this time.

The guests invited to the Sword Conference have already checked into the State Guesthouse.

The most sensational thing about this Shushan Sword Conference is that former US President Bill Clinton will give a keynote speech at the conference, which instantly ignited China's online community as soon as it was announced. It's just that the Guoxin incident is in the limelight, which makes the news relatively bleak.

But when the Shushan Sword Conference opened, the hot spot of the media immediately turned around.

Regarding the relationship between the former US president and the Internet, it is easy to think of the investigation report of the former US prosecutor exposed on the Internet a few years ago - the scandal between the president and the White House intern Lewinsky, the "zipper door" that caused a sensation around the world. So for that alone, the former president's popularity is not below the current Chinese Internet boom.

It is definitely a matter of pride for Alibaba to invite the former president, which is why this conference is known as the Davos Forum of China's Internet, and the provincial government has made a lot of preparations for this conference.

Before Clinton's arrival, reporters from more than 100 Chinese and foreign media outlets were guarding the exits of the Chengdu airport, and more than 10 special cars, police cars, and private bodyguards also gathered outside and waited quietly.

At about 7 p.m., Clinton arrived at Rongcheng Airport from Urumqi after participating in his foundation's AIDS activities, got into a Lincoln car, and slowly drove out of the airport with the traffic, causing several female reporters in the periphery to scream loudly.

Sichuan Province is striving to build an exhibition economy, and the West China Expo is a platform for investment promotion, trade and diplomacy, and if this Shushan Sword Conference, which has been known as the China Internet Davos Forum from the very beginning, lands, it will make this gust of wind more far-reaching and bring a greater window of opportunity for the future.

And for those who participate in the online elite "West Lake Sword", this may be the most stringent event for personal safety. Whether it is the invited VIPs or the veterans who are licensed to attend, they must pass the qualification review of the Provincial Public Security Department, and all packages must be deposited before entering the venue, and they must go through the on-site security check to ensure that they are not allowed to enter without dangerous goods.

When Liu Gao and the members of the Chang'an Association arrived at the State Guesthouse, they were still very remote and dissatisfied with the fact that the forum organized by Boss Ma and called on China's Internet elites was chosen here.

After all, a Hangzhou man traveled thousands of miles to Shushan, Sichuan Province to hold a sword conference, from the perspective of the exhibition economy, isn't it to Sichuan Province to make a wedding dress, what kind of spirit is this? In the end, it can only be attributed to the world and feelings of martial arts fans, Shushan has a special chivalrous demeanor, from the fact that Boss Ma invited Jin Daxia to show a sword conference with the pattern of Jin Daxia's martial arts, which can be seen.

When the black Audi entered, Liu Gao saw that the state guesthouse had been upgraded to a pompous security with the same treatment as receiving foreign leaders, and then cooperated with him and the senior officials who came with him to reveal their identities unimpeded, which is what Liu Gao has been deeply immersed in, and it belongs to the taste of power.

As the president of the Chang'an Association, a famous entrepreneur, and the background behind him, Liu Gao, who received the invitation letter, was naturally accompanied by many officials who belonged to him who were "close to the faction" in the process of coming to the foothills of Mount Emei in Sichuan Province.

Although his cousin's turmoil in Sichuan Province was criticized, it is just that the mountains have always changed the king's flag, and Liu Gao no longer needs to rely on the Jiang family to support the scene, and now the Lu family, as a strong arm, can provide him with enough capital and resources.

The Guoxin incident was an accident, who knew that it would break out at the University of Science and Technology, Chen Yue would take a risk, but Liu Gao still understood him, stayed in the United States and came back, step by step with the halo, and then he could get on the line with the country's high-level leaders, the effect brought by it, on the one hand, is the way to heaven, but if it collapses, the consequences are also conceivable.

Qin Xizhen's appearance on the platform is probably the most difficult situation for them to prevent, but fortunately, this matter is also under control, and now under the external discussion, Cheng Ran has basically stepped into the quagmire with one foot, and his relationship with Qin Xizhen, about his father being Cheng Feiyang's heroic son bastard, was suppressed like a mountain, locking his throat on the one hand, and beating him into the dung pit on the other. Liu Gaocai had time to go to Mount Emei to participate in this sword conference.

It's just that as soon as he arrived, although he enjoyed the circulation of the officials around him and some flattery, he could still think of the scene of meeting that young man that year, who knew that there would be so many events after that...... The man he didn't seem to take seriously at the time was now a big problem for him to get rid of as soon as possible.

This in itself is absurd. The people who became his opponents, including Academician Li, who he had been expelled from, were not simple, which struggle was not life-or-death?

He has been attacked all the way, and he has also been haloed all the way, and to this point, success and glory and even the official background make him feel like he is wearing a golden armor robe, but his body has been tempered even more copper and iron, and he has attracted attention wherever he goes. You can sit and drink tea with local senior officials, negotiate with senior officials of elite governments in various countries, go to Harvard Business School to talk about the successful cases of the South Star Group in Harvard textbooks, where to attend is the focus, as for the problem of being sad about the beauty pass at this point to him, Liu Gao is more sober, women are not so tempting compared to the hegemony of the country, so he has never had any stubble here, Chang'an will charter the Bay Island Hotel, and the one sent is also a famous model with a surname, what can not be played......

Although Qin Xizhen, a little diva character, is indeed a difficult hurdle for men, that kind of woman can be regarded as an extremely difficult peak for ordinary successful men.

Although Qin Xizhen's platform is very powerful, on the one hand, it can only be drawn between Jiang Hongshao and Cheng Ran, although this is a bit late, after all, he can also be independent of the Jiang family now. On the other hand, Qin Xizhen can also be used to set off a flame of public opinion that overwhelms him Cheng Ran, and the power of this fire is enough to burn him to ashes. even to the point that there are underworld people in Hong Kong and Taiwan because of those overseas rumors and public opinion, thinking that he deceived Qin Xizhen and issued a chase and kill order in the rivers and lakes......

Of course, this kind of thing still can't hurt Cheng Ran, but it can be seen from this that he is facing the extent of public opinion slander at the moment.

"A lot of people criticized me for my route problem, and even compared me with Fulong Cheng Feiyang......" Liu Gao said to the people around him, next to him is the main member of the Chang'an Association who came with him, Zhang Maosen of Nanmao Holdings, the current media company and the pharmaceutical field in Zhang Maosen's hands, so that he has a lot of say in these two aspects, and Guo Fuxing of Guangtong Group needless to say, Guo Fuxing is a real estate tycoon in Beijing, very good at capital means, the company he is targeting, the dormant battle staged in recent years, the battle for power continues, Guo Fuxing is extremely vertical and horizontal in it. Not long ago, there was a rumor that a trader in a certain province who led a "state-owned enterprise listing to solve difficulties" heard that Guo Fuxing was targeted, and hurriedly mobilized various resources behind his back, and even let a Beijing bigwig come forward to mediate, Guo Fuxing said lightly, "How dare I hit the benchmark sample idea set by your province, it's just a misunderstanding", and laughed at the wine table set by the department.

Liu Gao said, "...... It seems that Cheng Feiyang is a representative of hard work and step by step, and I will only be opportunistic?

Everyone knows that this has always been a thorn in Liu Gao's heart. That is, after Fu Long's defeat in the United States, many intellectuals and some experts in related fields focused their eyes, and compared Fu Long with his Liu Gao's Nanxing Company, some criticism against him Liu Gao began to appear.

This is also the most taboo thing for Liu Gao, and he and Fu Long are taking two completely different paths, which has led to friction and confrontation between the two sides. And this kind of thing, under some interest communities and authoritarian powers, most intellectuals will keep their mouths shut.

If Fu Long hadn't come out of the United States, and it didn't seem to be expanding the market as it is now, and the influence was getting bigger and bigger, it would be fine. But what I am most afraid of is the rise of a Fulong, which will make them the end of the scales tilting downward.

"After so many years of hard work, I have gradually come to understand a truth. Self-improvement development, the slogan is good, and when you say it, anyone will shout it, as if you have the backbone, you can do it. In the 80s of the 20th century, Japan thought that its IT and semiconductor fields could be strong enough to compete with the United States, and it was ready to break the international standards set by the United States, set its own standards, and set its own rules. What is the result, it is incompatible, the losses are huge, and the United States will use some means to be as strong as Japan, and in the end it will not be able to obediently bow down to the United States.

Look at Silicon Valley in the United States, so many companies, both upstream and downstream, a technology comes out, and then you can enter the river, from top to bottom, there are people to continue to do, in-depth development, to make things happen. But what about us, we tried our best to come out with a technology, and no one took over the baton in the follow-up...... And then he died. The money was spent, and manpower and material resources were invested...... All dead. ”

Liu Gao looked at the people in front of him, "That's why I said that a developing country like ours must face up to its own advantages, what are our advantages, and fight for technology, not to mention the Americans, can we fight with the Japanese? Can we fight with the younger brothers of a group of developed countries in the United States? Let alone fight with the Americans." So we can only use our advantages, our market, to exchange with others......"

"If you want to sell products, I'll help you sell them, I'll help you enter this market, and do trade first." Then let's change the technology, let's learn again, first become stronger, let yourself survive first, instead of fighting for technology to fight yourself to death. I'll talk about technology later......"

"Yes, of course, technology can be a generation behind, and it will be left behind from generation to generation...... So why can't you do your own thing? They have come out with technology, it is impossible not to sell it to us, without us, whoever buys their technology will also go out of business. So why can't the world in the future become a symbiotic relationship? We just use it, and we will be the masters, and the Americans are trying to serve us in every possible way when they develop technology. The world is divided and cooperative, not that you have to finish one thing. What else do other people do? And you can't finish it. ”

"So what Fu Long did was hated, and it was destined not to go long. Only the road we take will work. ”

Liu Gao said, "It's a pity that too many people can't see this, and will only say that I am a traitor and a comprador, and there are no new words...... These people will only shout slogans, talk about backbone there, and raise national integrity...... But there is an overall lack of courage and pattern. ”

......

After thinking for a while, Liu Gao said, "That's pretty much it...... In what I'm going to say at this Internet conference, I need to put these points in place. ”

Someone next to me is remembering, it seems that the reporter of the newspaper company in which Zhang Maosen has a stake is called Lu Jie, and the article "The Sorrow of the Goddess", which almost led public opinion to Cheng Ran to "deceive the little diva with a white face" and "deceive the world and steal fame and touch the porcelain national project", was evaluated by some intuitive industry insiders as a murderous and heart-wrenching article, which was written by him.

He is a reporter, and this kind of secretarial work does not require him to write, but at this time, it was precisely because of that article that he was able to be photographed by Liu Gao, so he was called all the way by Zhang Maosen, the major shareholder of the magazine, and was handpicked by Liu Gao.

At this time, Lu Jie didn't have to do everything he could to get in touch with a character like Liu Gao. In his opinion, this is equivalent to erecting a ladder of green clouds. After all, looking at how many people can still have a dialogue with former US President Clinton and win the appreciation of the president of the Chang'an Association, his future prospects can be described as bright and smooth.

Someone came over and brought a message to the crowd in the lounge of the VIP building at this time, a letter from the contact person of the Clinton team, "Mr. Clinton is still meeting guests, but this meeting has made him very tired, the time is not early, he has been running around for a day today, and after seeing off the guests, he will rest." See you tomorrow. ”

The members of the Chang'an Association present were a little stunned, Clinton has not been in China for a long time, and he has participated in the activities of his foundation in China before, but now after attending this sword conference, he will go to Tokyo, Japan, to receive an honorary doctorate degree of law conferred by Nihon University, and later hold talks with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.

There are many people who are preparing to meet with the former president, who has countless secrets and is destined to be heard, through various connections, but are basically turned away by the other team.

Mr. Liu also had a good relationship with the former president's advisory group when he was doing business in the United States, and was once on the president's list of interviews, when Mrs. Clinton praised him as a trading partner, the Chinese agent of an American company. In his opinion, it is almost a sure thing that Clinton will have a hearty meeting with his "friend" at such a time and lead the media the next day, but now it is ...... They were kept out by each other.

This made everyone in the Chang'an congregation feel that they had faintly hit a wall.

Guo Fuxing said in a deep voice, "Who is Mr. Former President meeting with now?"

The contact person kept his mouth shut, just smiled politely.

Zhang Maosen on the side said, "Who else could it be?"

Of course, it goes without saying that it was nearly nine o'clock when Clinton arrived at the State Guesthouse, and the only person he met immediately before he settled down at this time was the organizer of the conference who could invite the other party, the boss Ma who was on the cover of Forbes.

Of course, Clinton has to firmly grasp this kind of sweetness in his own hands, and whoever can talk to this heavyweight guest who came to give a keynote speech will inevitably become the most eye-catching existence in the entire sword conference.

"I would like to inform Mr. Clinton later, that my old friend Liu Gao has arrived, and I hope that I can take time to meet and talk about business after the meeting tomorrow. ”

The white man nodded and smiled, "Mr. Liu Gao, I see." ”

"Then don't disturb Mr. Clinton's rest. Liu Gao smiled and got up.

As soon as he was gone, the people left with him.

Lu Jie followed beside him, looked at Liu Gao's expression, and then smiled, "What 'Shushan on the sword' is just 'Xiaoxia on the sword'...... A group of people in the Internet circles have just shaken off the impact of the Internet bubble in the United States and come out of the shadows, and now they are messing around with the big hat of the financial system, and anyway, if they blow it up, which tens of millions of dollars and which hundreds of millions of dollars in valuations are all fake, and you let them take tens of millions of dollars in profits? Which one really has real money on the table? That's why I say, 'sharpen a sword in 10 years,' and I am afraid that in another 10 or 20 years, there will be a figure in the Internet world who can be called an entrepreneur leader!"

Zhang Maosen said with a smile, "Xiao Lu, it's over, it's over, let's not take this kind of ...... to dismantle other people's platforms."

Lu Jie smiled, "I know what Boss Ma thinks, and I want others to regard Shushan Sword as the Davos Forum in Switzerland, but it's a pity that our Chairman Liu is here, I'm afraid that his limelight will change hands." ”

Liu Gao smiled, unmoved, and seemed satisfied with his response.
