Chapter 198 Annual Meeting
(I didn't have time yesterday, so I'm sorry everyone.) Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info update two chapters of 6,000 words tomorrow. )
The more the company moves in South America, the more low-key he behaves in the United States. Especially during the Colombian peace talks, Zhou You became a hermit, almost isolated from the world except for contact with a few people and children around him.
He didn't want to let the Yankees grab his handle because of his actions outside. On August 8, he will leave the United States, and he will not come to the United States again until all the hidden dangers are eliminated.
However, the more low-key he is, the more attention he attracts. Although there is no evidence that he was directly related to the peace talks in Colombia, Betancourt was released by the guerrillas in his face.
Although Bettencourt is not well-known in Asia, it has a prominent reputation in Europe and the United States. Because she was released because of the blessing of Zhou You, she praised Zhou You in front of the media at any time.
Because she dominated the Colombian peace talks, the European media praised her even more to the sky, and the Nobel Peace Prize selection committee immediately listed her as a candidate.
Since the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Norway and the selection committee is mainly from Europe, Betancourt has a very good chance of winning the prize.
Although Bettencourt's fame somewhat downplayed the role of Zhou You, in the eyes of insiders, Zhou You's causal relationship in this peace talk became more and more important, after all, Betancourt was released because of Zhou You's relationship.
However, this relationship makes it impossible for anyone to find the slightest mistake in Zhou You, even the Yankees have nothing to say, because what happened next seems to have nothing to do with Zhou You, and you can't find fault with it.
However, after the time entered May, even if Zhou You wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn't keep a low profile, because there were two major events related to Zhou You in May.
The first major event was the two-day annual meeting of all affiliates of Nanyang Holdings on May 10 and May 11 at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles.
This is the first official annual meeting of all the affiliated companies of the entire Zhouyou, and the total assets of the participating companies exceed $2 trillion, so it has attracted as many as 400 media outlets from all over the world.
From Wal-Mart, the world's largest company, to Pengcheng's property management company with less than 20 employees, as long as Zhouyou Holdings and shareholding enterprises all sent representatives to participate in the meeting.
Among them, there is Huanchi Pharmaceutical, the first company in which Zhou You has a stake, a printing company with less than 30 employees established in Spain by Gracia, whose name he does not know at all, Google, Apple and Tencent, and of course, Tmall, which is now the most attention-grabbing.
More than 20 industries were involved in the entire annual meeting, covering almost all walks of life. Of course, the most attractive to those media reporters are the tech upstarts, established families and senior government officials.
The annual meeting invited not only representatives of various companies, but also leaders of economic or commercial departments of more than 30 countries, and even presidents of many small countries to attend in person.
For example, Colombian President Uribe flew to Los Angeles to attend the annual meeting after visiting Washington at the invitation of US President George W. Bush. The young head of Singapore also flew to the United States to participate in the annual meeting.
Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Little Pony, these business leaders who are the focus of media chase on any occasion have become ordinary guests here, and they are attending the annual meeting in person.
Representatives of the Walton family, Morgan, representatives of Goldman Sachs, Adelson and Barron Hilton, who have a significant influence in the United States, also want to see what kind of impact this tour will bring.
At 8 a.m. on May 10, more than 2,000 delegates living at three hotels in Los Angeles arrived at Staples Arena on time, and in the media area, more than 1,000 reporters gathered to welcome the event.
At nine o'clock, all the participants were seated, and as many as 427 media reporters were also ready in the designated area, and the annual meeting officially began.
When the host's voice sounded, the audience burst into laughter, because as long as Americans can hear it, today's host is the famous American talk show actor Alan DeZanes, when another host appeared, it caused a round of applause.
Many participants from abroad did not know what was going on, and when they saw the two hosts hugging and kissing, they learned that the other host was Allen's gay girlfriend and the resident host of the Emmy Awards, Portia de Rossi.
Although both of them are female hosts, they are a real couple, and Zhou You remembers that the two of them got married two years later and are now in love.
Since the two of them are now the most watched couple in the entertainment industry, many people wanted to invite them to the show together without success, but no one expected that their first time on the same stage would be dedicated here.
Moreover, Zhou You has not spent a penny of appearance fees to invite the two of them to appear, and the price is that Zhou You and Paris will produce an episode of the Ellen Show.
As soon as the two of them appeared, they began to make fun of Zhou You, Zhou You married three wives, got into a lawsuit and went to jail in the United States, and bought several luxury planes, including the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean 3, which is all Allen's ridicule material.
However, her language is witty but not lewd, sharp but not sharp, so although the audience laughed, it did not make Zhou You feel disgusted. From time to time, there were pictures of Zhou You sitting and laughing with his three wives on the big screen at the scene, which made the people laugh heartily.
After them, there was a five-minute acrobatic performance by Cirque du Soleil, which drew bursts of applause from everyone in the audience. But after arousing everyone's interest, there was no more program, and the meeting entered the official stage.
When Zhou You came to the stage, there was a boo in the audience, and almost everyone wanted to drive him off the stage to watch the show below. Zhou You also let go, and sang a song in his hoarse mid-bass voice that was not good, so that everyone was satisfied.
Subsequently, Zhou You got serious, starting a business when he was eighteen years old, and has been telling about it to this day. On the big screen at the scene, the publicity team also edited the photos and video recordings of Zhou You's journey from '98 into a short film, recalling the whole process in an hour.
The hour was long and short, and many people were still reminiscing, and it was already over. Next, Britney Spears brought two passionate songs, which were also reserved for the participants to go to the bathroom.
After the two songs were sung, Alan enlivened the atmosphere of the scene on the stage again, and when the tour was ready, the meeting entered the stage of everyone's attention.
When Zhou You took the stage, the title of this year's annual meeting was typed on the big screen in Chinese, English, and Spanish: "The Changing Landscape of Power." ”
This topic was the subject of the Davos Forum in 2007, but it was used here by the tour. Because this topic is very suitable for the company's development strategy in today's situation.
After entering the formal topic, everyone fell silent and listened carefully to the insights of Zhou You. Because this is not just the idea of one person, but also the entire company, and even an important development program that can affect the world economic situation.
Zhou You elaborated on the hidden dangers and potentials of the current world economic situation from four aspects.
First, the impact of new economic drivers on world and regional economic growth. The rapid development of the Internet and the impact of the development of online merchants on traditional business models tell us how to face this change.
For this alone, there was a thick ten-page speech, and Zhou You spoke for 20 minutes with emotion, winning warm applause from the audience. And these pictures were directly broadcast throughout Europe and the United States through the exclusive broadcast of ABC TV.
Although more than 2,000 delegates had to be arranged for air tickets and lodging to Los Angeles at the annual meeting, the trip not only did not cost a penny, but also earned millions of dollars. Because the exclusive rights to the annual meeting were sold to ABC TV, the two-day live broadcast of the conference was sold for $20 million.
This cost is enough to pay for everyone's round-trip airfare and hotel expenses, and there are still millions of dollars left, so not only did the annual meeting not cost money, but it also made money.
The second point is the impact of geopolitics on the economy. In addition to the instability and security threats in some hot spots, world economic integration is still facing many difficulties. Different political environments, different economic models, different industrial models, including different development speeds, will affect the integration process of the same region at different times, and it is very difficult to coordinate the balance of all aspects.
Zhou You, of course, is not confident that he can do what the United Nations can't, but as the leader of a company, he can influence a part of it on a small scale, and he will show a better role than a political group.
After all, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. As long as traveling around is beneficial to all, and he doesn't get involved in political influence, then his influence is purer and greater.
For these two points alone, it took Zhou You fifty minutes to finish his speech. The audience burst into warm applause. Alan and her girlfriend came on stage to make another joke, and Cirque du Soleil put on another big acrobatic show to give Zhou You a break for a while.
After taking a throat lozenge, Zhou You took the stage again, this time speaking on the world's energy threats and the impact of climate change.
Today, Nanyang Holdings has reached a package of agreements on energy development in many countries in South America, using energy development to improve the country's infrastructure construction, improve the level of industrial processing, and enhance trade competitiveness.
Although Nanyang Holdings does not have the level of industrial development itself, it has formed a huge commercial trust with its capital. The combination of mainland mining enterprises, small industrial processing in Europe, and basic supporting capacity in South America has made large conglomerates around the world fearful.
Not only South America, but now some countries in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe are also hoping to introduce this development model and improve their industrial capacity. So, this is also a point that everyone is very concerned about.
The last point of the speech focused on the development trend of enterprises in the process of economic globalization, and Zhou You focused on the analysis of his important development ideas in the coming year from the perspectives of technology and society, commonality and network.
Since there are no current cases to analyze this argument, the speech was very fast, and even though the main points of development were carefully elaborated, it only took less than ten minutes to complete the speech.
So far, the tour took a total of two and a half hours, plus the time of the show's performance, it took nearly three and a half hours to complete his speech.
His speech drew on many future concepts and topics, but it was half a step ahead of the present, and it hit everyone's J spot, winning the affirmation of the audience in front of the live and TV sets.
The hotel delivered delicious meals, of course, because it was takeaway, it was really not sumptuous. All the attendees shared the weal and sorrow with the reporters, whether it was a boxed lunch or a hamburger, everyone had the same standard, and they could only manage their fill.
At half past one in the afternoon, the meeting resumed, but this time Zhou You did not take the stage. The stage was attended by representatives of major companies, and each person had five to ten minutes to speak. The first half of the time is to review the company's development, and the second half of the time is to explain the company's future planning.
Of course, due to time constraints, not everyone was able to speak on stage. Only leaders with a certain degree of influence in the industry have the opportunity to come to power.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, today's meeting ended. The shuttle buses from the four hotels will arrange everyone to return to the hotel for rest according to the industry. Of course, in the evening, there will be breakout sessions.
When arranging a hotel, the Internet high-tech industry is a hotel, the representative of the energy and mineral industry is a hotel, and the personnel arranged by a hotel are more complicated, including the entertainment industry, the hotel industry, the spinach industry, and even the pharmaceutical industry.
All the peers are arranged together to facilitate communication with each other.
The next morning, the meeting continued, and although the speeches of others were not as attractive as those of Zhou You, it was a rare opportunity to travel around and flex their muscles to the outside world, so there were still many people who paid attention to the TV.
Just from the smile on the lips of the ABC TV leadership, you can know that they have definitely made a lot of money this time. However, they are happy that this year, and when they wait for the annual meeting next year, the tour will definitely be arranged at their own company headquarters, and the broadcast fee will definitely rise sharply.
At 3:50 p.m. the next day, Zhou You, whose voice was already a little hoarse, came to the stage again to make a final summary of the annual meeting. In the past two days, his mouth has hardly stopped, especially yesterday's continuous speeches, which made his voice directly hoarse.
The summary of the annual meeting is a bit bland compared to the four topics thrown out at the beginning of Zhou You, but in the final stage, Zhou You used a large paragraph of speech to remind everyone to be wary of a new financial crisis.
I don't know how many people listened to it, because in the words praising the economic situation, such a short paragraph of warning against the financial crisis was sandwiched, which was really a bit unnoticeable.
What's more, the economic situation in the United States is indeed very good now!
