This year's closed-door meeting of the IBC, as in previous years, began at noon on the opening day of the Davos Forum.

In addition to the Davos badge, the special badge of the IBC Council was prepared for Lin Feng, as well as the agenda of the day's closed-door meeting:

13:00~13:30 Welcome new members of the International Business Council;

13:30~14:15 Determine the activities of the International Business Council in 2008:

1. How to deal with financial market turbulence and economic uncertainty;

2. Continuation of the themes of the 2007 Summer Meeting: water, climate change, energy efficiency;

3. Confirm that the 2008 International Business Council Summer Meeting will be held in Geneva on August 25~26;

4. Introduce the 2008 Annual Meeting of the New Champions, which will be held in Jinmen, China on September 27~28.

14:15~15:30 Viewpoint Exchange: Welcome to the global economic recession cycle and adjustment period

15:30~15:45 Coffee break

15:45~17:00 Dialogue with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Overall, this closed-door meeting does not seem to be as exaggerated as Wang Jianzhou described on the plane, and although the security check in the hotel is still very tight, after entering, it is actually no different from an ordinary international conference.

It's just that there are not as many people as other main forums and sub-forums in Davos, and there are no reporters and media, so it is not so noisy, after all, the qualifications of the council participants are very strictly restricted.

It's not what Lin Feng imagined, the kind of scene in the movie, in a secret conference room where even the curtains are sealed with a thick black cloth, a group of people in black light candles and talk secretly......

The closed-door meeting was held in the hotel's banquet hall, which of course has been set up as a more formal conference venue, with a background wall with the Davos logo and IBC logo in front of the background wall, and a small podium in front of the background wall.

The seats below are arranged in a semi-circular arc to facilitate communication and questioning.

Although it was the first time to attend the conference, Lin Feng found that there were actually many acquaintances here, such as Eric Schmidt of Google, Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs, Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase, Vikram Pandit of Citigroup, and John Mack of Morgan Stanley......

It's all old acquaintances!

There is no way, who made the IPO of Fengxing Group too sensational, as much as nearly 10 billion yuan of fundraising is the largest this year, these few broke through at that time, they are all underwriters of Fengxing IPO, and jointly divided nearly 300 million US dollars in underwriting fees, as well as an additional nearly 100 million US dollars (30% underwriting fees) underwriting incentives.

Therefore, although Lin Feng is not familiar with the chairmen of some traditional manufacturing companies, such as General Motors, Coca-Cola, Dow Chemical, ABB and other giant companies, he has already dealt with the bosses of American financial giants such as Goldman Sachs and Da Mo.

Before the start of the meeting, under the introduction of Wang Jianzhou, he got to know Randall Stephenson of ATand T in the United States, Vittorio Colao of Vodafone, John Chambers of Cisco, Ben Veraayen of Alcatel, Edard Zander of Motorola, Telecom's Ben Wawarne, Telstra's Solomon Trujillo and other telecommunications giants.

Lin Feng shows great enthusiasm for these people, these are all future customers and partners!

It's worth it!

…………

In addition to Lin Feng, the new directors of the IBC this year are Kumar Mangalam Birla, CEO of India's Aditya Birla Group.

Kumarbela is also a young man, he was less than 28 years old when he took over from his father Aditya Bella, who died young, in October 1995, he was an MBA who had just graduated from a London business school, 13 years later, and now he is only 40 years old, he is already one of the top ten richest people in India, with a net worth of more than $10 billion, ranking 72nd on the world's richest list.

Lin Feng and Bella, one from China and the other from India, are also in line with the current trend of the rise of emerging economies in the world, represented by China and India.

According to the agenda of the meeting, the first step was to welcome the new members of the Council.

Speaking on behalf of the Board of Directors, Klaus Kleinfeld, Chairman of Alcoa and Director of the World Economic Forum, welcomed the two new directors, Lin Feng and Kumabela, and said that their addition will add new vitality to the IBC.

Subsequently, the two new directors took the stage to deliver speeches respectively.

Kumabella took the stage first, expressing his excitement and gratitude for being invited, and then introduced the economic and industrial development of India, which won a round of applause.

Then, it was Lin Feng's speech.

Lin Feng walked onto the podium, and the audience immediately burst into warm applause.

There is no way, Lin Feng's addition has lowered the average age of IBC by nearly ten years!

You know, most of them are 5 or 60 years old, and Kurabella is 40 years old, which is already a very young director......

Lin Feng is only 28 years old!

He's nothing short of a miracle!

Even if Lin Feng is a Chinese......, but the person who became the world's top ten richest people at the age of 28, age or even nationality is no longer the key to the problem, what kind of person will he be in the future?

Will he follow the rise of China's economy and become a "big man" like Gates, who has been the richest man in the world for more than ten years?

In the global economic recession and the arrival of the US financial crisis, as a representative of the best Chinese enterprises on this side of the landscape, does Lin Feng represent the future of this world?

For these CEOs, who are behind the scenes and control the lifeblood of the global economy, this is a question they have to think about.

Lin Feng is not so great and terrifying, and Fengxing is not so great and terrifying......

However, the huge potential behind China, the 1.3 billion population market represented by Lin Feng, and the world's second largest Internet user market that has been ranked alongside the United States, is truly great and terrifying!

With the advent of the Internet era, which is changing the shape of the world economy, Apple once again stood in the center of the global new economic stage because of the release of the Iphone, and also began to step into the smartphone industry, and joined forces with Google to prepare to launch Xphone to counter Apple's popularity, which naturally attracted the attention of many telecommunications and IT giants in the audience.

At this time, those financial giants, because of the increasingly far-reaching impact after the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, are full of bags, and they hope that emerging economies will emerge to diversify investment and risks.

"Honorable Chairman Koffield, gentlemen, it is a great honor to receive the invitation to join this great group of IBCs." Lin Feng began his speech.

First up, first the conventional touting.

"Seeing the agenda of the meeting today, including in the private exchanges just now, I found that many people feel very serious threats and risks about the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, and they have also expressed concerns about it. Although my personal opinion on this is not very optimistic. ”

"But one of the points I want to express here is that the financial crisis is coming, but we don't have to be pessimistic, the world is developing rapidly, and the advent of the Internet era will give birth to more opportunities to change the traditional business pattern, maybe this will be a rebirth, a new beginning."

"Why do I say that? As you know, in the year 2000, the world also experienced an economic crisis caused by the bursting of the dot-com bubble, and people were saying, oh God, people are liars! The Internet has no future! ……”

"The result? Yahoo, Google, Ebay, Amazon, ......, a number of excellent Internet companies have stood up in the ruins of the dot-com economic bubble! They are growing rapidly and are beginning to change people's lives and the world economy, creating new value! ”

"When a market with a high valuation that is detached from actual value and only uses financial means to continuously increase and increase, it will inevitably collapse, and the same is true of the Internet, and the same is true of real estate! However, if you can return to the value itself, with good cash flow, a large user base and a growing market, there are more such companies, and the financial crisis will always pass, and hope is ahead. ”

"I just came here yesterday from the capital of China on my own private jet, in China, no one is talking about the subprime mortgage crisis, no one is talking about financial bubbles, everyone is talking about 10% growth in the country's GDP, hoping to get more jobs, hoping to get a better life with their hard work. People firmly believe that as long as they work steadfastly, there will be hope. ”

"Perhaps, this financial crisis is to let more people discover that false prosperity is meaningless, and only by adapting to the changes of the times and creating value through work and hard work can we have tomorrow!"

"That's what China is doing right now. I believe that after this crisis, the United States will also usher in a new era of rapid growth and economic prosperity! ”

"At the same time, I also hope that you can pay more attention to some ......of the changes that are taking place in the emerging economy, such as the Internet, everyone should know about the popularity, and I would like to introduce a social networking site that I invested in in the United States, which you should also be familiar with, Facebook, which was valued at more than $15 billion last year, and its slogan is to connect the world. Now Facebok has 123.9 million unique visitors and 50.06 billion page views, which is about to surpass Myspace! ”

"Also, the convergence of telecommunications and IT, I think it will be the big trend in the future, I call it mobile Internet, this is a new business model, Apple just recently released the Iphone, a new generation of smartphones, I am also doing this kind of thing, this is very interesting, it is likely to change the current pattern of mobile phones, entertainment, media and many other industries."

"There is a famous lipstick effect in economics, when the economic downturn and financial crisis come, people's consumption habits will change, the Internet, culture and entertainment, and small consumption will attract more users, some people say, China is a haven for the financial crisis, and I think the Internet will also be a haven for the financial crisis! I have a poem written very well in the Taizu, stepping through the green mountains and people are not old, and the scenery is unique here! ”

"I am here today, on the one hand, to learn from you, and at the same time, I hope to share with the global business leaders here some of my thoughts on China, about the Internet, and about the future of the mobile Internet, hoping to provide you with a different perspective."

"Once again, thank you for joining the IBC, yes, I am very, very grateful, and once again thank Professor Schwab and Chairman Koffield for the invitation, it is an honor for me! Thank you. ”
