In the past two years, with the global economic downturn, emerging economies led by China have attracted more and more attention internationally.

Naturally, the annual meeting in Davos will not ignore this point, and Chinese dignitaries are invited to participate in the annual meeting every year.

For example, this year, China's vice president in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission and informatization was invited to attend the meeting, accompanied by Li Rongrong, director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Li Baodong, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, permanent representative to the United Nations Office at Geneva and other international organizations in Switzerland, Zhang Yesui, vice minister of foreign affairs, Zhang Xiaoqiang, vice minister of the National Development and Reform Commission, Yi Xiaozhun, vice minister of commerce, and Ning Jizhe, deputy director of the Policy Research Office of the State Council.

However, the staff of the National Development and Reform Commission, who was responsible for docking the Davos Forum, communicated with Lin Feng, and did not explicitly require Lin Feng and other entrepreneurs attending the meeting to go with the delegation.

In this case, Lin Feng of course chose to take his own private jet to attend the meeting, which was more comfortable.

Lin Feng also invited several other entrepreneurs who also attended the meeting and had a good relationship with him to fly on his private jet.

For example, Wang Jianzhou, chairman of China Mobile, Yang Yuanqing, CEO of Lenovo, etc.

During the long-haul flight, Lin Feng could communicate with them in advance about some possibilities for cooperation and consult what to pay attention to during Davos, after all, it was not the first time that these two had attended the meeting.

Lin Feng also took this opportunity to talk about the cooperation between Cool Wind and China Mobile to customize the Xphone terminal.

Perhaps because of this private occasion, and about to participate in the IBC meeting together, Wang Jianzhou, a super boss in the domestic mobile communications field, also put down his usual shelves on formal occasions and talked openly with Lin Feng.

"Mr. Lin, we have been looking forward to the Xphone mobile phone of Cool Wind, and we were surprised by the iPhone released by Apple before, and the new generation of smartphones is about to bring great changes to the entire mobile phone and communication industry, which is already clear to everyone. ”

Sitting on the comfortable sofa of the Gulfstream V private jet, sipping a 90-year-old Chöhâteau Haut-Brion and smoking a Cohiba– Pirámides 2006 limited edition cigar, Wang Jianzhou said with a smile.

"As far as I know, you and Steve Jobs have had a meeting before and after the release of the Iphone, hoping to introduce the iPhone to China, but they have not been negotiated?" Lin Feng asked with a smile as he sat on a single sofa opposite.

"Yes......" Wang Jianzhou sighed.

"However, Apple believes that the industrial chain of TD-SCDMA, the 3G technology we use, is not mature, and Jobs is not optimistic about the future development of TD-SCDMA, so the cooperation negotiations are now at an impasse. ”

Lin Feng shook his head with a smile: "Mr. Wang, if you want me to say, Lao Qiao is still too arrogant in this regard, and his vision is not long-term enough." He is demanding of operators, not only requiring the underwriting of mobile phones, but also requirements in terms of subsidies and advertising funds, which is a bit aggressive. ”

Wang Jianzhou looked at Lin Feng and said with a meaningful smile: "Mr. Lin, I heard Zhao Qinghuan say before that Xphone will be released in the first half of this year? And will it launch a version that supports TD-SCDMA? ”

Lin Feng nodded: "Of course, Cool Wind is a Chinese company, we must first consider meeting the needs of domestic users, Mobile now has 369 million users, is the largest mobile operator in China, we attach great importance to this huge market! Therefore, the first release of Xphone, in addition to supporting GSM (GPRS/EDGE)/CDMA (HSPA) network, will also launch a mobile customized version that supports TD-SCDMA network. ”

"But ......" Lin Feng paused, hesitating whether to say or not.

"What does Mr. Lin have to say? Wang Jianzhou was a little curious and asked.

"With all due respect, Mr. Wang, Jobs's concerns are reasonable, TD-SCDMA network does have some problems in terms of stability and base station division, I suggest, the evolution of LTE TDD still needs to be accelerated as soon as possible!Otherwise, when the 3G era comes in full swing, mobile users will not have a good experience and will lose a large number of high-end customer ......"

Wang Jianzhou nodded silently.

This topic is a bit sensitive, after all, TD-SCDMA as China has a large number of independent property rights of the 3G standard, mobile is with a political task, although the industry on the use of international standards of mature models CDMA and CDMA, or China's standard TD-SCDMA has a lot of discussion, but in fact, this matter is difficult to make decisions even if it is mobile, it depends on the Ministry of Information Industry and even higher level of thinking.

Yang Yuanqing sat on the side with a smile, watching the two talk about business come to an end, before he raised his glass and said with a smile: "Rich, I haven't congratulated you on being selected for the IBC this time." ”

Lin Feng and Yang Yuanqing are old friends, the two first met in 2004 when they were elected CCTV Economic Person of the Year, Yang Yuanqing was invited to participate in Lin Feng's castle wedding in the UK, and later the two were classmates in the CEO class of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, although there is a gap in age, but the two have a good personal relationship.

Of course, basically these new generation of business tycoons who are now active at the top level in China, such as Yang Yuanqing, Guo Guangchang, Ma Yun and others, are all from the 60s, and they all have an age gap with Lin Feng......

A "demon" like Lin Feng, the richest man at the age of 26, is the top ten richest people in the world at the age of 28, and there is no second one in China.

Globally, comparable to him, that is, Gates and Jobs back then, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Xiaoza in the future.

Speaking of this, Lin Feng smiled and said: "I'm still confused about this, what's going on with IBC, I still want to ask Mr. Wang to tell me about it, you're an old-timer!"

The topic turned here, and Wang Jianzhou also relaxed and excited.

He joined the IBC two years ago, and he is full of praise for this somewhat mysterious organization.

IBC is the world's elite circle of business people, along with the Bilderberg Group.

The difference is that the Bilderberg Club is politically and internationally oriented, and is made up of bankers, politicians, business leaders, media magnates, and prominent academics from the United States and Europe. Each of them was selected by Rothschild and Rockefeller, many of whom were also members of the American Council of Foreign Affairs, the Pilgrim Society, the Round Table Society, and the Trilateral Commission, and were known as "global shadow governments."

IBC, on the other hand, is characterized by a group of CEOs from top companies, and must be companies with global influence, spanning manufacturing, finance, biopharmaceuticals and other industries. Although there are only about 100 members, even after years of co-optation, there are now 112 members, but these people have a combined market value of more than $2 trillion!

That's why IBC is called the "CEO Senate" and "CEO Cardinal Church".

Of course, the two organizations are equally famous for one common reason: mystery!

Wang Jianzhou told the two of them in detail about the origin of IBC:

IBC originated in 2001, at the annual meeting in Davos that year, a group of CEOs of manufacturing and financial giants, under the auspices of Alcoa Chairman Kleinfeld, met at a resort hotel on the sidelines of the forum and spent the weekend behind closed doors to discuss the world's business propositions. They agreed on two things:

First, Davos is already too public and noisy, and such small gatherings should continue to be held in the future;

2. Participants can not be celebrities, but they must be CEOs of world-class companies in power.

The year 2001 was a golden year for the world economy, and these people from the manufacturing and financial industries believed that if influential leaders could actually control the world economy behind the spotlight, then this golden economic age could continue.

As a result, a small group that was born out of Davos, but only allowed top CEOs to join, and implemented a strict invitation system, began to form.

Under the guise of Davos, the founding members named the organization the International Business Council (IBC).

Since then, the IBC has held a closed-door annual meeting to analyze the business and economic situation during the Davos Forum in January every year.

The venue is usually set up in a top hotel near Davos, which makes it easy to gather CEOs while avoiding the media spotlight and curious public.

The IBC Annual Meeting never announces the venue for the meeting, and when it does, the venue is filled with armed police and security, and it is forbidden to travel near the hotel. Attendees are required to pass through multiple levels of checkpoints to enter.

The hotels where IBC members stay are closed to the public during the meeting, all non-IBC guests are required to check out, temporary employees are sent home, and the remaining staff are not allowed to visit any of the participants without permission, are not allowed to speak to any IBC member unless they are called for questioning, and are immediately swept away if any information related to the meeting is revealed.

Unlike Davos, which is lively, open, and social, IBC does not welcome all media to take photos or interviews. The purpose of the Council is to provide a more intimate venue outside of Davos, so that participants can speak freely without fear of being recorded or publicly reported. And if the media are involved, attendees are forced to speak in the tone of a press release.

A reporter from Vanity Fair magazine was taken away by security guards after trying to break into the venue, and a CEO was asked to leave the business council after accidentally revealing the contents of the meeting.

For the sake of confidentiality, invitees need to leave the main venue of the Davos Forum to come alone, no deputies or additional people, personal assistants cannot attend the meeting, closed-door meetings are often held for one day, and meals must be held in the hotel of the venue......

Wang Jianzhou spoke about the rise, and Lin Feng and Yang Yuanqing were quite surprised to hear it.

Even Ye Weiyu, who was talking to them and hiding to watch a movie, was attracted to her, she sat next to Lin Feng and listened to Wang Jianzhou's narration curiously.

"Sounds so mysterious! isn't it like that, some kind of secret organization like the Skull and Bones Society and Freemasonry?" Ye Weiyu asked in surprise.

Wang Jianzhou shook his head and smiled: "Of course not, in fact, this is just a misunderstanding from the outside world, the reason why IBC does not want to be reported by the media and known to the outside world is that I hope that everyone attending the meeting can let go of all constraints and speak freely." In fact, most of the topics we discuss are still very valuable. ”

"For example, at the closed-door meeting last year, we discussed one topic of "global warming and the responsibility of the business community", and the other was the issue of financial markets and corporate regulation, which are actually discussions about two general environments: the living environment of human beings and the living environment of enterprises. The former focuses on the impact of the enterprise on society, and the latter focuses on the impact of society on the enterprise. In fact, it is the two major themes of the survival and development of contemporary enterprises, and they are also the major issues for enterprises to influence the world and promote the development of the global economy. ”

Wang Jianzhou said with emotion: "In the past two years, the rise of Chinese enterprises has attracted widespread attention from the world, and the selection of Mr. Lin this time can also be seen. In fact, as a private meeting of giants that advocates long-term and sustained influence, the council was very cautious about Internet companies before, only Google's Schmidt joined the year before last, and this time Mr. Lin joined, which can be regarded as the first Internet company in our country. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Lin Feng, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart, maybe before, his senses for Lin Feng were a little underestimated because he was a domestic company?

In fact, whether it is from the market value of Fengxing Group or Lin Feng's current influence in the global business community, it is not much worse than Apple......

Perhaps, the cooperation between China Mobile and Cool Wind is really the best choice at present!

Lin Feng seemed relatively peaceful, he didn't think there was anything great about joining IBC, after all, he still knew the truth that striking iron still needs its own hardness.

Compared with those old giant companies in the world, Fengxing is still far behind, even compared to China Mobile, this behemoth with an annual turnover of 357 billion yuan and a net profit of 87.1 billion yuan is still very weak.

What Lin Feng relies on is the arrival of the Internet era and the "miracle" aura generated by his miraculous rise.

He represents the times and the future!

At least ten years later, when Fengxing grows into a company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, a revenue of more than 100 billion yuan, and a profit of more than 10 billion US dollars, like Ali and Tencent in his previous life, can he truly be called a "giant" on a global scale.

Now, Lin Feng's idea is very simple, just come and see the world, just brush up.

Take your time and don't rush.

His time will come!

…………

Lin Feng's private jet landed at Zürich Unique Airport, the capital of Switzerland.

Ye Weiyu will take Sun Lin and her bodyguards to stay in Zurich for a few days, while playing Shopping, while waiting for Lin Feng's meeting to end.

At this time, the town of Davos has been crowded with thousands of dignitaries, entrepreneurs, cultural figures and media reporters from various countries participating in the forum......

Lin Feng took a car with Wang Jianzhou, Yang Yuanqing and others and came to Davos along the winding mountain road.

Davos, located in southeastern Switzerland, near the Austrian border, is the highest town in the Alps, at 1,529 meters above sea level, with a population of about 13,000 and a predominantly German-speaking population.

It is a well-known spa resort and ski resort in Switzerland, because it is located in a 17-kilometre-long valley and the suitable terrain makes Davos the "largest alpine ski resort in Europe", with 58 ski lifts, 320 kilometres of ski slopes, 75 kilometres of cross-country ski trails, two artificial ice rinks and one of the largest natural ice rinks in Europe at an altitude of 1,124 to 2,844 metres. There are no less than three toboggan runs throughout the year.

There are seven ski resorts in Davos (Parsenn, Gotschna, Jakobshorn, Pischa, Madrisa, Rinerhorn and Schatzalp/Strel), and the status of Parson and Dallenil-irzeli is as sacred to skiers as Mecca is to Muslims.

Therefore, in addition to the formal dress for the regular participants, Lin Feng also brought a complete set of ski equipment......

Speaking of which, among the dignitaries and entrepreneurs who came to the meeting at this time, there are really not many people like him who still want to ski......

Entering the town of Davos, the continuous multiple security checks along the way began to make Lin Feng feel a special atmosphere.

Wang Jianzhou also introduced some precautions in the annual meeting of Davos to Lin Feng.

For example, the three famous principles of the annual meeting in Davos:

First: "You are not allowed to bring any people with you." "In Davos, there is only one identity for everyone: the attendees. No matter how big a company you are, a billionaire or a popular star, you have to carry your own luggage to check in, queue up to store clothes, carry your own water, and collect your own meeting materials.

Second, "Don't take an outline when you participate in a forum discussion. "In general, when speaking at a large international conference, the speaker usually presents an outline prepared in advance. However, when attending the Davos forum, speakers will receive instructions for their presentations, which clearly state that in order to make the discussion more natural, speakers should not take an outline.

Third, "Strict adherence to time. "Any meeting will emphasize the need for speakers to stick to time.

Wang Jianzhou also told a small story, saying that on one occasion, the prime minister of a large country met with members of the business council, and the scheduled time was between 10 and 11 am. However, for some unknown reason, the prime minister arrived half an hour late, arriving at the venue at half past 10. Despite his repeated apologies, the moderator said that although our meeting started half an hour later than scheduled, we still had to end at 11 o'clock and we had to cut back on the content of the meeting.

Well, that sounds interesting......

Lin Feng is officially invited to the annual meeting, the forum booked a hotel for him in advance, although it is only a 4-star hotel, but you must know that at this time in Davos, but a bed is hard to find, and many people can only squeeze into a simple small hotel.

Even when you enter a hotel, there are stricter checks than airport security, and the security is extremely detailed.

However, Lin Feng didn't have time to sigh, he simply cleaned up, changed his clothes, and rushed to attend the closed-door meeting of the IBC with Wang Jianzhou.
