Chapter 348: Davos Forum

Just after New Year's Day, Lin Feng received an invitation letter from Switzerland.

The invitation comes from Professor Klaus Schab, founder and executive chairman of the orld Economic Forum.

In the invitation letter, Professor Schwab warmly invited Fengxing Group to join the World Economic Forum and become a member of the Forum.

At the same time, he also invited Lin Feng to join the International Business Council in Davos on behalf of Fengxing Group, and invited him to attend the annual meeting of the Forum held in Davos, Switzerland, from January 23 to 27, 2008.

This invitation made Lin Feng a little surprised, isn't this the annual meeting of Davos?

In his previous life, Lin Feng watched Jack Ma's speech when he participated in the Davos Forum, but he was full of ......

The World Economic Forum, a Swiss non-profit foundation headquartered in Cologny, Geneva, is an unofficial international organization aimed at discussing problems in the field of the world economy and promoting international economic cooperation and exchanges. Founded in 1971 by Professor Schwab of the University of Switzerland, it was originally known as the European Management Forum. Since 1986, it has been renamed the World Economic Forum.

The World Economic Forum is best known for its annual Davos Winter Meeting, which takes place at the beginning of each year in the small town of Davos, Graubünden, a resort in the eastern Swiss Alps.

The annual conference brings together around 2,500 of the world's top business leaders, international dignitaries, intellectuals and journalists to discuss the issues facing the world, including the most pressing health and environmental issues.

For this reason, the World Economic Forum is also known as the "Davos Forum".

At this time of year, the Swiss town of Davos becomes a temporary "center of international politics, economy and public opinion", and the Western media refer to the annual meeting of Davos as an unofficial economic summit.

The members of the Davos Forum Foundation are all multinational companies that are among the top 1,000 in the world and are leading the world economy. According to the current market value of Fengxing Group, it also meets the criteria for becoming a member of the fund.

As for the International Business Council (IBC) that Lin Feng was invited to join, it is even more powerful!

Comprised of around 100 chairmen and CEOs of the world's leading companies, IBC is a group of business leaders in charge of business affairs within the Davos Forum, aiming to jointly address and solve global business problems, and is also responsible for providing business guidance and advice to Davos participants.

The vision is that Council members will be able to gain a better understanding of key global issues through a low-key, informal channel, while benefiting from the World Economic Forum's well-organized, high-end network and mobilization capabilities.

To put it bluntly, this is a high-end coterie composed of just more than 100 chairmen of world-famous companies!

Members include Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, BT CEO Ben Veraayen, Motorola CEO Ed Zander, Publicis Chairman Maurice Lévy, Deloitte Chairman illiam Parrett, and Dell Chairman Michael Dell.

Previous members from China include Wang Jianzhou, chairman of China Mobile......

Of course, now the chairman of the board of directors of Fengxing Group has been added - Lin Feng.

The Business Council has a very strict invitation process, and the quality of the company and the prestige of the CEO are important selection criteria, and the executives are automatically removed from the board when they step down from the company. The Council meets twice a year behind closed doors and is a gathering of powerful people in the world economy and business.

For this reason, IBC is also known as the "CEO Senate".

Because the Davos Forum is a non-profit organization, once the company is invited to join the Davos Forum as a member, it needs to pay an annual membership fee of 50,000 francs (about 330,000 yuan), and of course, the company's leaders can also be invited to participate in the annual Davos meeting every year.

Along with the invitation letter, the theme and agenda of this year's Davos Forum were also sent.

"The Power of Collaborative Innovation" is the theme of this year's Davos Annual Meeting, and the agenda mainly includes five aspects:

1. Industry and commerce - competition in cooperation;

2. Economics and finance - pay attention to economic risks;

3. Geopolitics - seeking common ground while reserving differences;

4. Science and technology - explore the new frontier of nature;

5. Values and Society – Understanding future changes.

Generally speaking, the five-day annual meeting in Davos has more than 220 sessions on the agenda of the formal meeting, which is divided into multiple sub-forums. Add to this the various breakfasts, lunches, dinners, cocktail parties, parties ...... the official meetings, and it can be said that at this time of year, the small town of Davos is the vanity fair of the world's dignitaries.

Because of the global boom caused by Fengxing Group's IPO in 2007, Lin Feng also became one of the brightest figures in the global economic community last year.

Lin Feng was invited to speak at the sub-forums including: "21st Century Corporate Global Citizen" sub-forum, "Mobile Communication Future" sub-forum, "The Power of Innovation" sub-forum, etc.

Accept the invitation?

That's still something to think about, of course! It was the annual meeting in Davos!

There is no second place in the world where there are political leaders and big names in business and finance on such a scale at the same time, and in those days, I may have seen more CEOs of major companies around the world than Lin Feng has seen in a year!

Not to mention, the bosses of the world's major telecom operators and IT vendors will attend, and Lin Feng now needs to communicate with these operators and vendors.

He has already discussed with Larry Page and is ready to form an open phone alliance to launch Android and attract global mobile phone manufacturers to join the Android operating system in an open source way.

Xphone is also facing listing, and it needs to negotiate with operators in various countries.

Is there a better opportunity than in Davos for Lin Feng to communicate with these partners face-to-face, all at once?

"You go to the forum, what am I going to do with it?" Back at home, Lin Feng and Ye Weiyu said that they wanted her to accompany her to Davos to attend the meeting, and Ye Weiyu said absentmindedly and casually.

She was smiling and putting Dan Dan on the sofa, holding a small toy in her hand, shaking it, and teasing Dan Dan to crawl over.

A few nannies stood next to them, taking care of them at all times and not letting Dan Dan fall off the sofa......

Lin Dandan is now 10 months old, and she is tiger-headed, not only can she crawl, but she will also call "Baba" and "Mom" in a milky voice, Ye Weiyu teases her son every day, which is her greatest pleasure.

"It's only a few days since the meeting, we can just go skiing in Switzerland, and you haven't been out for a long time, after the forum is over, we can have a walk around Europe, didn't you keep saying that you want to go to Prague and Greece?"

Lin Feng sat on the armrest of the sofa, hugged Ye Weiyu's fragrant shoulder, leaned into her ear and smiled: "We also have to live a two-person world......

Ye Wei glanced at him: "It's not right." ”

However, under Lin Feng's soft grinding and hard bubbles, she still nodded and agreed.

Although she is reluctant to leave her son, she also has to take care of her husband's thoughts and emotions......

Go skiing in Switzerland, go to Prague to see pigeons, go to the Aegean Sea to watch the sunset ......, travel with Lin Feng, and enjoy the world of two.

It doesn't seem like a bad thing.
