Everyone was speechless. They had seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless.
They even called Lei Jun and asked, "You've already said you're both the vice president and the chief designer, do you think Lei Jun wouldn't give you that kind of face?"
"Mr. Lin, why don't you choose another one?"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen spoke amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd.
"Then how about I choose fried chicken?"
"What the heck?"
Minister Wang thought he had misheard and hadn't heard clearly. Fried chicken? Is this the kind of choice a legitimate internet company boss would make?
If Lin Chen knew what Minister Wang was thinking, he would definitely say, "What's wrong with fried chicken? There are people who open fresh food supermarkets, and people who raise pigs."
Lin Chen explained.
"Fried chicken, the kind of fried chicken from KFC. Our Xingchen Technology acquired KFC before, and then we created a sub-brand with Chinese characteristics. I thought that when we go abroad, we will definitely be able to conquer the taste buds of foreigners, promote national culture, and build national confidence!"
"Um, Mr. Lin, we're discussing using internet technology to make money overseas, but all you're talking about is traditional business."
"I see. I'll think about it some more."
Minister Wang was speechless. He had already given Lin Chen hints that he could do things like food delivery, group buying, and live streaming. Xingchen Technology was currently the industry leader in China for these industries, so they must have their own set of methods.
When I go abroad, I'll hire foreigners to deliver food and exploit them. Just thinking about it is exciting.
But why doesn't Lin Chen understand this?
In fact, Lin Chen had already understood, but he couldn't agree too easily at this time. If he agreed too easily, he would lose his voice.
Unlike the other three companies, whose business structures are relatively simple, Xingchen Technology is involved in too many industries. If they seem easy to talk to now, they might ask them to develop one industry overseas one minute and another industry overseas the next.
So Star Technology just becomes a company that makes money domestically but burns money overseas, what's the point of running its own company?
After pretending to think for a while, Lin Chen said.
"Then let's go abroad and create an overseas version of TikTok."
Minister Wang's eyes lit up. This was great! Douyin wasn't just about making money; it was also a great publicity platform. It might even be able to cooperate with some of the government's actions.
"If Douyin works, then I'd like to thank Mr. Lin and everyone else in advance for their efforts."
"Haha, of course, of course, it's about serving the people," Lin Chen replied with a smile.
"However, since we're from the same hometown, I suggest we form a mutual support alliance so we can help each other out. What do you all think?"
"Yes, yes, that's fine."
"I agree."
Everyone agreed that there was no downside to such an alliance and that they should definitely join.
"Now that everyone has joined, let's elect a president to make it easier for us to communicate and organize. Who would like to be the president?"
Upon hearing this, Jack perked up and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed that Tony and Li Yanhong were both calm and collected, pretending not to hear him.
This made him a little suspicious. It shouldn't be like this. Are these two people really that easygoing?
Then he saw Minister Wang smiling at Lin Chen.
He understood. Wasn't this clearly a pre-arranged decision? Then why did you ask?
I, Jack Ma, have made my way in the world with just my words, yet I'm no match for this recent college graduate?
However, when he thought of his half-dead Taobao self-operated store, he decided to give up. After all, Jack Ma was magnanimous and didn't care about this small position of chairman.
"Everyone is so modest, then I'll just call on someone. Mr. Lin, how about you take on the role of president?"
"Ah? No, no, no, everyone here is my senior. I don't deserve that title."
Minister Wang glanced at the seniors present. Apart from Li Yanhong, who hadn't been beaten up by you, Tony and Jack must have been covered in bumps by now, right?
It really proves the old saying: youth has the upper hand.
"So, Mr. Li from Baidu, are you coming?"
"No, no, no, I have absolutely no advantage this time. I estimate that I will need the help of the bosses present to gain a foothold overseas, so let the bosses do it instead."
"What about Jack Ma of Alibaba?"
"No, no, no, we still need to give young people a chance. We are all old now, the future belongs to them."
"Yes, Jack is right, that's what I think too."
Minister Wang smiled and said to Lin Chen again.
"Mr. Lin, look, several bosses have recommended you. I think you shouldn't refuse anymore."
"Alright, then I'll take over as president for now. If anyone wants to take over in the future, just tell me and I'll definitely step down."
Next, the group discussed some specific details.
The meeting lasted until the afternoon.
After the meeting, Lin Chen drove back to the company.
They called Zhang Yiming and An Rou together for a meeting.
That concludes the morning's meeting. What are your thoughts?
Zhang Yiming thought for a moment and said.
"Boss, is Douyin going to go into the commercial sector?"
Lin Chen's face darkened.
"What do you mean by 'going into business'? This is called 'going to sea'! Can't you speak properly? I told you to stop looking at those shady websites."
"Hehe, it's the same idea. I'll go back and have them develop an overseas version later."
"Yes, that's very simple. Just translate the text. However, the overseas version needs to have a system to check for prohibited words. If any comments that are detrimental to our country are found, they will not be allowed to be published."
"Okay, boss."
At this moment, An Rou asked in confusion.
"Lin Chen, what is the purpose of this operation? Why does the country attach so much importance to making money abroad? I don't understand."
"That's a long story."
Lin Chen organized his thoughts before continuing.
"In fact, throughout history, all wars have been fought over interests, such as land, minerals, population, and various other resources."
However, after two world wars, these politicians realized that war cannot completely destroy a nation; it only creates more and more trouble.
So why must we use such a cruel method of warfare? After all, war consumes a lot of money.
Moreover, Mei Di also contributed to this.
When the atomic bomb was dropped on our planet, people around the world realized that weapons could be so powerful that they could even destroy humanity itself.
Therefore, when our country was facing such difficult times, our great leaders disregarded everything to develop nuclear weapons.
