The economic forum conference lasted for one week.
Because there are many things to discuss, involving all aspects, and a large number of participants, it cannot be concluded in just one or two days.
The first day can only be considered an opening ceremony, mainly to make a rough communication on the general framework of future economic development, and the details will be presented later.
Such meetings naturally require the presence of important official leaders who will take the stage to speak.
Then came the official leaders from various regions across the country.
After that, he became a prominent and influential business tycoon.
Although Zhou Chen's business is doing well, it is still far from being able to rival the super-large enterprises in China. Any one of these state-owned enterprises, such as tobacco, oil, and steel plants, can easily surpass the scale of Zhou Chen's current business.
Only emerging domestic internet giants like Tencent and Taobao, as well as home appliance and real estate giants, can rival it.
Of course, very few private companies can achieve the level of Tencent and Taobao.
The morning was spent listening to speeches from various leaders and business tycoons.
noon,
Everyone went to a nearby upscale hotel for dinner.
The entire banquet hall of the hotel building was full. Zhou Chen, Wang Rui, Zhang Hao, and Li Wei were led into one of the banquet halls by the hostesses.
In this process,
Zhou Chen unexpectedly spotted Zhou Na. It turned out Zhou Na was volunteering here. What a coincidence!
certainly,
Zhou Chen glanced at it briefly before looking away, not caring much. Whether Zhou Na came or not was irrelevant to him and wouldn't affect him.
Lunch was a lively affair.
Many people took the initiative to talk to Zhou Chen, showing strong curiosity and interest in him. Zhou Chen knew that he was different from most of the bosses present because he was one of the few who had achieved such success during his school years, which made him quite remarkable.
Zhou Chen responded politely to the gesture of goodwill.
Of course, some people were eager to make friends, while others were envious and jealous, even disdainful. However, these people were much more sophisticated than Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, those two ingrates. Their behavior was very subtle and almost undetectable. They even put on a very polite and hypocritical facade. If Zhou Chen hadn't been so observant, he wouldn't have noticed at all.
"Brother Chen, many people want to cooperate with us and have even proposed starting a company with us. They provide the funding, don't care about anything else, and just take the shares and dividends."
"I encountered the same thing here."
"Me too."
After Zhou Chen finished talking with the others, Wang Rui, Zhang Hao, and Li Wei came to Zhou Chen's side and told him about their experiences.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen smiled and reminded the three not to take it too seriously. Some things are best left unsaid; some people genuinely want to cooperate, while others may have ulterior motives.
In the business world, there is no shortage of traps. Some people may appear to be kind on the surface, but behind the scenes, they may be secretly plotting to drag you down.
After listening to Zhou Chen's reminder, the three of them became much more sober. They came to their senses from the numerous flattering words and realized their own limitations.
Their success wasn't due to their exceptional business acumen, but rather because they seized a business opportunity that others hadn't considered, becoming pioneers who took the plunge and thus enjoyed smooth sailing. Zhou Chen's crucial advice played a significant role in this success; without him, they wouldn't have been qualified to be here at the economic forum.
"I knew it! They were all trying to profit from us. No wonder they say the business world is like a battlefield; they're all old foxes."
Wang Rui patted his chest, feeling a bit scared.
"No business is without its cunning. Compared to these old foxes, we are all too green. Fortunately, we have Brother Chen here to remind us at all times. Otherwise, if we had become complacent and believed some people, we would probably have been sold out and would have had to help them count the money. We can't just share our money-making ideas with others."
Zhang Hao let out a sigh.
Li Wei nodded in agreement. Some entrepreneurial ideas are indeed very important, like the mobile phone top-up business they started on Taobao. This was something that didn't exist before. Whoever did this business first could earn their first pot of gold. Those who wanted to cooperate in business probably saw this and wanted to get a share of the pie. Moreover, he had heard Xu Yao talk about business warfare, with all sorts of tactics emerging one after another. In terms of business experience, they were indeed far behind.
Whenever Li Wei thought of this, he admired Zhou Chen even more.
They were all around the same age, but Zhou Chen was more experienced than any of them. He saw things like a wise old man who had seen it all, and his understanding was very clear.
Sometimes, he couldn't help but wonder if an old man lived inside Zhou Chen's body.
As they were talking, Xu Dalong, Li Kaile, Lu Ye, and others arrived.
The three roommates had met the others before and exchanged greetings.
Seeing Xu Dalong and the others reporting some things to Zhou Chen in person, Wang Rui, Zhang Hao, and Li Wei all showed expressions of surprise.
These people who started from scratch with Zhou Chen all seem mature and capable. Are these Zhou Chen's core team members?
Whether it was Wang Rui, Zhang Hao, or Li Wei, they could all feel the gap between themselves and the others.
Before the three roommates could calm down,
Feng Tao and Chen Wei, as managers of Hope Technology Network, also came over, which increased the number of people.
When the three roommates first met Feng Tao and Chen Wei, they were very impressed with these two, who were the creators of the Dungeon Fighter Online game. Taking advantage of their relationship with Zhou Chen, they asked a lot of questions, all about the Dungeon Fighter Online game.
