At the end of each year, it is always a time for various selections and awards. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This is true in the entertainment industry, and the same is true in the financial circle.

In November, the selection of the "2004 China New Economy Person of the Year" sponsored by Internet Weekly began, and Lin Feng and Fengxing Online Network Company both entered the shortlist.

Subsequently, the selection of "CCTV China Economic Person of the Year", known as the "Oscar of China's economic circle", also began.

When Lin Feng received a call from Ouyang Xiadan, he was discussing the development of Alipay with Li Dong.

Hearing Ouyang Xiadan say that he has become one of the 20 candidates for this year's CCTV Economic Person of the Year, and wanted to make an appointment, the film crew of CCTV Economic Channel came to Fengxing Company to shoot a short film for broadcast in the promotional video, Lin Feng was a little surprised.

As far as he knows, in his previous life, he was selected as the CCTV Person of the Year in 2004 because of the standard of "health", which was the most beautiful that year, but he was defeated because of the grand Chen Tianqiao, which started with online games, on the contrary, Ma Yun, who had just received a new round of financing, and Ma Huateng, who rose by virtue of Tencent's listing, were elected.

Fengxing is also a leader in the game industry, and Lin Feng thought that he would not be able to play this time.

"Yes, you can come at any time, I've been in Beijing recently. Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, we'll come over in the afternoon, thank you, Mr. Lin, and I wish you a prize...... By the way, the relevant documents have been faxed to you, you can take a look at them in advance to understand the details of the selection event. Ouyang Xiadan said happily.

Lin Feng has always been relatively low-key and does not accept media interviews, but he has always recognized CCTV and her.

After Menglong went public last year, Lin Feng's first TV interview was the financial connection she hosted, and the relationship between the two was not bad.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng asked Xie Jiaren to check, and sure enough, he had received the fax document from CCTV.

The process, criteria and details of this selection activity are introduced in detail:

"CCTV China Economic Person of the Year Selection" is a brand founded in 2000 by CCTV's two sets of "Economic Half Hour" column, and this year has entered the fifth, this event has become an annual economic event created by CCTV Economic Channel, and is also known as "the Oscar of China's economic circles".

This year's Person of the Year selection criteria have changed from previous ones. This year's standard is: "Innovation, Responsibility and Health".

Innovation: Innovation is the soul of a nation's progress, the inexhaustible driving force for a country's prosperity, the source of economic growth, and the core of contemporary economic competitiveness. The driving force of innovation should run through all walks of life and throughout the story of the characters. Related keywords: "breakthrough, competitiveness, performance".

Responsibility: Whether it is a rich person in the world or a common person, whether it is an enterprise elite or a scholar or a farmer, when his words and deeds not only consider his own or group interests, but also contribute to the external environment, legal system, fairness, policy and even public morality, when the majority of people in the society benefit from this, such a person is a capital "person", that is, the person we pay attention to. The key words related to responsibility are: "integrity, influence, public welfare".

Health: Create "green" wealth and develop sustainably. Their subjective and individual actions may lead to greater harmony between people and society and benefit future generations. The words related to this are: "Comprehensive, coordinated, sustainable".

From the point of view of the selection process, the candidates for the Person of the Year come from: audience nominations, online nominations, nominations from media elites, entrepreneurs and economists.

After the nominees are selected, a 100-member jury will be formed by well-known economists, winners of previous China Economic Person of the Year, scholars from domestic and international economic research institutions, deans of well-known economic and management schools, chief economic advisers of foreign institutions in China, and senior financial journalists, who will determine the final 20 candidates and the final winners.

On December 28, an award ceremony will be held at the Beijing Hotel, where the final ten economic figures of the year, one person of the year award, one new person of the year and one social welfare award will be announced.

After reading the documents, Lin Feng raised the documents in his hand and smiled at Li Dong who was sitting next to him: "Joe, it seems that there should be a drama this year." ”

Li Dong smiled: "It's our turn, congratulations, Lin Dong." ”

At this time last year, Menglong had just been listed, Lin Feng and Menglong both became famous in one fell swoop, and no one knew that there was such a person as Lin Feng before, so last year's selection did not have Lin Feng's share.

At that time, on behalf of the Internet industry, Ding Sanshi, who had just become the richest man and was so popular, was that he was purple, and Chen Tianqiao, who was also popular with "Legend", won the New Person of the Year.

In 2004, Lin Feng and Fengxing have changed by leaps and bounds, and they have also begun to be well-known to the public, and the announcement of the Hurun Report and Forbes Rich List a few days ago has made Lin Feng's fame soar, and now he is red and purple.

Lin Feng threw the document on the table: "Come on, come on, we have made achievements, and we should receive the corresponding honors." Regardless of it, let's move on to the Alipay thing. ”

At present, Lin Feng has spun off the Alipay business from the popular industry and established Alipay Network Co., Ltd. separately.

Lin Feng is the chairman, Li Dong is the president, and Daniel Zhang is the general manager.

Yes, it was the Xiaoyaozi who later became the CEO of Alibaba. At this time, Daniel Zhang was still working as a senior manager of audit and corporate consulting at PricewaterhouseCoopers, if nothing else, according to the trajectory of his previous life, he will join Shanda as CFO next year, and was poached by Ali in 07 as CFO of Taobao.

This talent, how Lin Feng was willing to leave it to Ma Yun, so he personally came forward, invited him to join Fengxing, and entrusted the important responsibility of CEO of Alipay, to put it bluntly, Li Dong served as president, but because Daniel Zhang was still young and needed to escort him.

As the saying goes, "The monarch treats him as a national soldier, and I repay him as a national soldier", Daniel Zhang was entrusted with a heavy task when he first arrived, and he was naturally very grateful and very attentive.

Lin Feng is discussing with Li Dong the next development direction of Alipay, and as for the specific trip, he will let Daniel Zhang do it.

"Lin Dong, are you so optimistic about Daniel Zhang, can he really do it?" Li Dong knows the importance of Alipay, Lin Feng once mentioned that in the era of mobile Internet, mobile payment will be one of the most important businesses of the company.

Lin Feng said with a smile: "The potential of some people is very huge, maybe even he himself did not realize it, Daniel Zhang is very optimistic about this person, Joe, he is a talent who has the ability to serve as the CEO of Fengxing, we must make good use of him, give him space, give him opportunities, and let him grow rapidly." ”

Li Dong nodded, his vision for Lin Feng has already been confirmed by countless successes.

Lin Feng continued to explain: "The core of Alipay lies in payment, and the most suitable application of payment in the Internet is not our games and membership payment, but e-commerce. This is also one of the risks that Alipay is currently facing, I heard that Ali will soon launch a payment product, Taobao's C2C business will definitely make Ali's payment products grow rapidly, which will be our biggest opponent. So Alipay's action must be fast, a little faster, to seize the market!"

"On the one hand, the cooperation with banks should be expanded, at present, our cooperative banks, including UnionPay, there are only a dozen, to speed up the cooperation with mainstream local banks, especially such as Guangfa Bank in eastern Guangdong, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, etc., as well as local banks in coastal economically developed provinces, as much as possible so that more users can easily bind bank cards. ”

"On the other hand, we need to strengthen cooperation with a large number of e-commerce companies, including eBay, Excellence, Dangdang, these large companies, foreign-controlled companies are also difficult to enter China in terms of payment, we want to take this opportunity to kill in, to provide services for them, there are many small and medium-sized e-commerce companies, they do not have the ability to build their own payment tools, we can cooperate with them to provide services. Only in this way can the scope of Alipay's application be expanded, and not only limited to our own users and services. Become a true third-party payment platform. ”

Li Dong nodded: "I understand,...... Lin Dong, I think you seem to attach great importance to Alibaba, are we about to enter the field of e-commerce?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "No, in terms of e-commerce, I have my own considerations, Joe, you and Daniel Zhang must determine a concept, treat Alipay as an independent product and company, Alipay's goal is to become a leader in the field of Internet finance! You should think more in this aspect, after all, you are all professionals in the financial field, more familiar with the business than me!"

Li Dong nodded, indicating that he understood.

…………

In the afternoon, Ouyang Xiadan came to Fengxing Company with a film crew of 7 or 8 people.

Lin Feng invited her to the office for tea, and the camera began to shoot some daily work scenes in the company.

"Ouyang, come, drink tea! You, the CCTV beauty anchor, come over in person, let me be here to shine!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

I have been in contact with Ouyang Xiadan more often, and I am familiar with each other, so it is easier to talk.

Ouyang Xiadan had neat short hair, and the whole person looked pretty and friendly, she just picked up the tea and tasted it: "Good fragrant tea." ”

Listening to Lin Feng's words, he said with a smile: "I don't dare to be called a beauty, Mr. Lin, in your office, you are the real beauty!" There was a hint of ridicule in her tone.

Lin Feng knew that she was referring to the group of people in the secretary's room outside, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to kneel on the washboard when I go home." ”

Ouyang Xiadan said curiously: "I heard that you are about to get married? Congratulations! I wonder if I have the honor to attend the ceremony?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Of course, you are one of my few friends in the TV circle...... How about I ask you to be the wedding officiant?

Ouyang Xiadan smiled and nodded: "You said that everyone is a friend, how can I be embarrassed to refuse?" Okay, you can inform me when the time is set." ”

Lin Feng arched his hand: "Then thank you! Come, replace the wine with tea, I will toast you." ”

At this time, the film crew had already finished filming the company's work outside and came to the chairman's office, ready to shoot a set of interview shots with Lin Feng.
