Chapter 551: Ma Liyun: Luck taken away? Don’t cause trouble, but don’t be afraid of it either?
InterContinental Hotel Davos, in a conference room on the 21st floor.
A rectangular conference table was placed across the center. Li Qingsong sat at the first seat, next to him was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had a faint smile on his lips, but a hint of coldness hidden between his eyebrows.
There were four people sitting on each side of the conference table, all dressed in suits and looking very stylish.
Chen Yansen took a quick look and saw that they were all bigwigs from banks, energy, state-owned assets, social science associations, and economic development associations.
This group of people may not be able to catch the trend, but they can directly create it.
Apart from him, the only other entrepreneur representative present was Huawei Chairman Ren Zhongfei.
Song Yuncheng pulled out a chair and Chen Yansen sat down.
"Everyone is here, I'll just say a few words."
Li Qingsong spoke slowly, his tone much more serious than during their previous two meetings, his expression stern. "You all represent the image of Chinese entrepreneurs abroad. For the next four days, whether it's business or matters involving national interests, you must be cautious in front of the media. You must stick to your principles and avoid causing trouble, but you can't be afraid of it either!"
Logically speaking, he was not on the travel list for the Winter Davos Economic Forum.
But neighboring countries have sent heavyweights to accompany him. If he doesn't come, Chinese entrepreneurs will lose their backbone, support and confidence.
Therefore, Li Qingsong made a temporary decision to come with Sun Huajun, the head of the Foreign Affairs Association.
Chen Yansen's face was calm as he carefully pondered Li Qingsong's words.
He knew in his heart that given the other party's status and position, every word he said must have been carefully considered and must have a deeper meaning.
Don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble either?
Chen Yansen suddenly had an idea and thought of a piece of news about the East China Sea. He instantly understood the hidden meaning of these words.
Anyone who dares to provoke me will be confronted face to face!
Li Qingsong made a special trip just to support them!
Business never exists in isolation.
Chen Yansen pondered secretly.
What is involved behind this forum is not just business gains and losses.
As Li Qingsong spoke, he glanced at Chen Yansen and saw a look of understanding on the other's face, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He was originally worried that Chen Yansen was young and inexperienced and would not understand the deeper meaning of his words. He planned to keep Chen Yansen for a while and give him some specific instructions.
Who would have thought that this kid was like an old fellow who had lived for decades, and he could understand things easily and grasp everything as soon as he was told.
Ten minutes later, Li Qingsong finished his speech, which was indeed brief.
Sun Huajun, who was sitting next to him, took over the conversation and spoke for another ten minutes. Finally, he looked meaningfully at Chen Yansen and Ren Zhongfei and said, "You two are representatives of private entrepreneurs and co-mentors of the Davos Forum. Please synchronize the key points of tonight's meeting."
Chen Yansen nodded in agreement, and so did Ren Zhongfei.
After the two finished speaking, a young man dressed as a secretary came forward and handed a meeting agenda to everyone present.
Chen Yansen casually flipped through it and saw that the schedule was packed with so many things that it was staggering. There were as many as ten sub-forums and main forum meetings that they needed to attend in one day.
If you add in the invitations to private exchanges, you really can't come to Davos without some physical strength and energy.
After the meeting, Chen Yansen and Ren Zhongfei walked out of the meeting room side by side.
"Mr. Ren, when will Kirin 910 be launched on the market?" Chen Yansen asked casually.
Ren Zhongfei paused for a moment and replied truthfully, "February 8th. It will be launched on the market together with the Huawei P6 S."
He looked at Chen Yansen and said, "Orange phones sold 300,000 units in North America in two days?"
"It's all thanks to the carriers' contract phone business. On the second day, sales dropped 42%. Whether it can stabilize in the future depends on the product's hardware performance and software ecosystem."
Chen Yansen shrugged.
"Since Orange Mobile has sold over nine million units in Eastern and Western Europe, I think it will also be successful in North America."
Ren Zhongfei said with a smile.
"I hope so." Chen Yansen said indifferently.
"I heard that Paul Jacobs from Qualcomm took the initiative to contact you for negotiations?"
Ren Zhongfei asked in a low voice.
Chen Yansen raised his eyebrows and thought: The news spread so fast?
But then he thought again, many people saw him communicating with Paul just now.
How many businessmen who can come to Davos are fools?
With a little thought, you can guess most of it.
"Qualcomm can't win the lawsuit, and doesn't want to waste money on the legal team. Sitting down and talking is naturally the best option, just like what happened between Huawei and Qualcomm before."
Chen Yansen did not hide anything and told the truth.
"Congratulations, Mr. Chen." Ren Zhongfei said congratulations, but he was extremely surprised in his heart.
The rise of Orange and Tiangong Technology is too fast!
Even Qualcomm has not gained any advantage in the battle of patent pools, and now it has been reduced to the point of seeking peace. How can this not be shocking?
If this news spreads back to China, Senlian Capital's momentum will probably rise to a higher level, and Orange Mobile's internationalization strategy will no longer be hindered.
To be honest, Ren Zhongfei is a little envious of Chen Yansen.
Sunlink Capital completed the journey that took Huawei more than ten years to complete in less than three years.
It is true that the new generation pushes the old generation forward. Young people today cannot be viewed with common sense.
"Mr. Ren, thank you very much. Without Huawei's technical support, Tiangong Technology would not be able to move forward."
Chen Yansen said casually.
Ren Zhongfei waved his hand and did not flatter himself, explaining that the cross-patent licensing between Huawei and Tiangong Technology was a normal business cooperation.
After all, Huawei did not suffer any loss, and Tiangong Technology did not take Huawei's technology for nothing.
After chatting for a few words, the two went their separate ways.
Only then did Chen Yansen have time to eat dinner.
The other side.
After receiving the news, Gao Weilin first booked a conference room, then contacted representatives from Ali, Hillhouse Capital, Sequoia Capital and other parties, and went to the conference room on the 21st floor half an hour later.
"Meeting?"
At this time, Zhang Lei of Hillhouse Capital and Shen Nanpeng of Sequoia Capital were sitting at the bar drinking, the whiskey in the glasses had an amber luster.
When the two saw the messages sent by the assistant one after another, they were stunned.
Shen Nanpeng reacted the fastest. He put down his glass and explained to Zhang Lei, "Don't forget, Chen Yansen is not only a co-mentor of the Davos Forum, but also a director of the World Economic Forum Foundation. If the higher-ups have any ideas, they will most likely find someone to convey them."
The implication was that Chen Yansen had probably just finished a meeting with his superiors and received new instructions.
Zhang Lei paused with his hand holding the wine glass, then smiled freely.
He couldn't help but recall the scene when he first met Chen Yansen.
At that time, Liu Qiangdong was the host. After observing Chen Yansen at the party, he made up his mind to invest in this person.
Although the other party is incredibly young, his manners, business experience, IQ and EQ are far beyond his peers.
No, I should say he is far better than Liu Qiangdong.
Later, Hillhouse Capital successively invested in Kuaidi Taxi and OFO Bike projects. Facts have proved that Chen Yansen did not disappoint him.
With these two investments, Hillhouse Capital earned more than ten times the profit.
"There are still twenty minutes left. Let's finish this drink first."
Zhang Lei said slowly.
at the same time.
Ma Liyun's face darkened when he heard the news.
His sense of smell was extremely sensitive, and he figured out the key immediately.
Chen Yansen is responsible for hosting a short meeting of private entrepreneurs from the Internet and financial institutions?
Why does he do that!
Old Ma thought indignantly.
Four months ago, when the World Economic Forum Foundation was selecting honorary directors, his name was initially mentioned. However, after the scale of Yu'ebao's funds exceeded 500 billion yuan, there was no further contact from the contact person.
Until Forbes magazine released the 2013 list of the world's richest people, the matter was completely silenced.
As a result, within a few days, the title of director fell on Chen Yansen.
Ma Liyun had a vague feeling that his luck had been taken away.
In the past year, every time he lay in bed, unable to sleep due to insomnia, he kept imagining: If he had offered Chen Yansen a billion-dollar annual salary three years ago, Chen Yansen would definitely not refuse.
In this way, Ali can lose a strong rival and gain a general.
Why!
Old Ma sighed heavily, full of regret.
But he didn't know that unless he gave 51% of Alibaba's shares to Chen Yansen free of charge, there would be no possibility of successfully winning over the other party.
…
…
The next morning, Song Yuncheng slowly opened his eyes, and as usual, Chen Yansen had already gotten up.
I picked up my phone and looked at the time. It was 7:03, still early.
She propped herself up and sat up, leaning against the head of the bed, the scene of last night's meeting emerging in her mind.
A group of Internet giants and financial tycoons with assets worth tens of billions of dollars listened to Chen Yansen introduce the meeting procedures like students.
Master, he is so awesome.
Song Yuncheng muttered softly.
At this moment, Chen Yansen, who had just returned from swimming, heard this and burst out laughing.
Seeing her dazed look, he gently knocked on the door and reminded her, "There is a breakfast meeting in the morning, starting at 8 o'clock."
"Okay, Master, I'll get up right away." Song Yuncheng hurriedly got up, but when she was halfway up, she felt cold under her body.
When I looked down, I found that I was not wearing anything.
"Master, you..." Song Yuncheng opened his mouth and wanted to curse.
"Why are you looking at me? You were talking in your sleep and you took it off yourself. If you don't believe me, I'll show you the video."
After Chen Yansen finished speaking, he prepared to take out his cell phone.
"I believe it and won't watch the video." Song Yuncheng blushed and didn't dare to look up at Chen Yansen's eyes.
Talking in your sleep?
And took off your clothes?
It was embarrassing. If there was a hole in the floor, she could crawl into it right then and there.
Song Yuncheng picked up the light pink shorts beside him and hurriedly put them on. Before walking into the bathroom, he suddenly turned around and said, "Master, can you delete that video?"
"I was just kidding, I didn't take any video."
Chen Yansen sat down on the sofa and replied with a smile.
"What about my clothes?" Song Yuncheng asked again.
"Guess." Chen Yansen smiled evilly.
Song Yuncheng rolled his eyes and ran to brush his teeth and wash his face angrily.
Chen Yansen smiled lightly, then took out his mobile phone, clicked on a video and watched it slowly.
At 7:40, Chen Yansen, Gao Weilin and Song Yuncheng left the hotel and drove to the conference center.
Following behind was a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle with four security guards in black suits sitting in the car.
When Jensen Chen arrived, Qualcomm's Paul Jacobs, Google's Larry Page and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg were already seated.
"Mr. Chen!" Paul Jacob was the first to stand up and greet him.
Chen Yansen walked up, shook hands with Paul and greeted him, his expression and posture looking like that of old friends.
This scene shocked the domestic and foreign media present.
For a moment, the sounds of shutter clicks came one after another, and flashes of light continued, freezing the scene of the two people's conversation in countless shots.
“Aren’t Qualcomm and Senlian Capital in a lawsuit?”
"Do I have one more memory than them?"
"As businessmen, as long as there's enough profit, I wouldn't be surprised if they slept in the same bed."
The reporters murmured.
"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you. This is Larry Page from Google and John Chambers from Cisco..."
Paul was extremely enthusiastic and pulled Chen Yansen to introduce him to the important guests at the breakfast party when it was Zuckerberg's turn.
Zuckerberg stood up, interrupted Paul, and said to Chen Yansen with a smile: "Mr. Chen, long time no see."
"Long time no see! I heard Facebook wants to acquire WhatsApp?"
Chen Yansen picked a random topic and asked with a smile.
Zuckerberg was stunned. He hadn't reached an agreement with WhatsApp yet. How did Chen Yansen know about it?
Just as he was about to ask further questions, Bill Gates of Microsoft came over with his assistant.
The remaining people stood up and greeted him proactively.
Zuckerberg also came over.
Chen Yansen pulled out a chair and sat down directly. He did not have the bad habit of flattering others.
A few minutes later, Ren Zhongfei and Ma Liyun arrived one after another.
A total of more than a dozen entrepreneurs were invited to this first breakfast meeting, including three from China and nine from North America.
From this, it is not difficult to see that China has very few cards to play in the technology and Internet industries.
If Chen Yansen does not come, Ren Zhongfei and Ma Liyun will have to take the lead.
Lao Ma looked at Chen Yansen and forced a formal smile.
The two have been fighting tooth and nail in the food delivery industry, suffering a net loss of tens of millions every day. It's a good thing they don't turn against each other.
Chen Yansen smiled back, but didn't say anything. Instead, he walked past Ma Liyun and started chatting with Ren Zhongfei.
At the same time.
Reporters in Davos sent a large amount of pictures, texts and video materials back to China.
Video clips and photos of Chen Yansen, as a representative of Chinese entrepreneurs, talking with Bill Gates, Larry Page and others immediately became a hot topic.
According to the reporter's description, Chen Yansen holds multiple titles such as "Global Young Leader", "Forum Co-Mentor", and "Director of the World Economic Forum Foundation", and has dialogues with the world's top technology and Internet CEOs.
What astonished netizens was that Chen Yansen's English expression ability seemed to be better than Ma Liyun and even better than foreigners.
Immediately afterwards, a search term "What is Chen Yansen's English level" squeezed into the hot news.
"I'm an English test taker, and honestly, I can only understand 60-70% of what's said. There are so many technical terms in there that I'm afraid only professionals in the field can fully understand it."
"The topics Mr. Chen discussed with Bill Gates and Larry Page were mostly about chips and operating systems."
"Brother Sen's language expression and logical thinking skills are so strong that even Bill Gates was speechless."
Netizens gathered in the comment section to discuss the details enthusiastically.
Not long after, photos of Chen Yansen and Paul Jacobs were also exposed.
In the photo, the two of them seemed to be having a great conversation.
"What's going on?"
"Don't fight anymore? Want to negotiate?"
"Could it be that Mr. Chen gave in? He paid a billion U.S. dollars in protection money?"
"Bullshit! Is Brother Sen that kind of person?"
Netizens were divided into two camps and argued fiercely.
However, Nvidia's Huang Renxun frowned deeply after seeing the news.
Qualcomm and Tiangong Technology are no longer fighting?
Then how can Nvidia reap the benefits?
