The Boao Forum for Asia is the first regional economic forum led by the Chinese government.
Although it is not comparable to the Global Wealth Forum, it is an Asian regional forum after all.
However, it is quite influential in the entire Asian region, otherwise there would not be many dignitaries from many countries attending.
This year, more than 1,700 political, business and academic figures from 52 countries and regions participated in the annual meeting.
Among them, there are more than 80 ministerial-level officials from various governments and heads of international organizations, more than 150 executives from Fortune 500 companies, and many academic thought leaders.
Early in the morning on April 8th, Tang An got up on time and went to the Peilan Bridge Registration Center to register with his ID card and receive his participation certificate and conference information package.
There are many projects in the one-week forum, including 18 sub-forums, 15 round table discussions, 6 closed-door discussions, 5 celebrity dialogues, 1 evening talk, 4 lunch discussions, and 2 dinner parties.
But not everyone has to participate. For example, if Ma Yun is so busy, how can he stay here for seven days? It would be good if he can stay for two days.
First, there was the opening ceremony. Leaders from various countries including the No. 2 Prime Minister, the Prime Minister of South Korea, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the Prime Minister of Austria, the former Prime Minister of Qatar, etc. all walked on the red carpet. There was also a military guard of honor. It was a small military parade.
Leaders of various countries took photos, guests attending the meeting took photos, and shook hands with leaders of various countries.
Tang An was also honored to shake hands with the No. 2 leader, but he didn't say much.
After a series of procedures were completed, the opening ceremony officially began.
Like most meetings, the leader speaks on the stage, and everyone sits in their seats and listens obediently.
This year's theme is "Asia's New Future: Finding and Unleashing New Motives for Development." It roughly means adhering to the general direction of common development and forming an Asian community of interests. Asian countries must continue to work together to overcome difficulties.
After the No. 2 leader finished speaking, Prime Ministers from several countries including Yasuo Tomita, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Boao Forum for Asia, Abbott, Prime Minister of Austria, and Chung Hong-won, Prime Minister of South Korea, also spoke.
After all, the same words were said, and most of them had nothing to do with Tang An.
Many industries were mentioned, including island economy, digital economy, blockchain, Bay Area economy, etc.
The construction of the Bay Area has been officially put on the agenda at this time, that is, the construction of a world-class city cluster.
Similar to the New York Bay Area, San Francisco Bay Area and East Bay Area, according to World Bank data, 60% of the world's major cities are located in the Bay Area, and the Bay Area accounts for 75% of the world's total economic output.
Twenty years ago, economists proposed building a Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bay Area based on San Francisco.
This is the first time that leaders have publicly raised this matter, but it is not the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bay Area, but the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area in eastern Guangdong Province, Hong Kong, and Macao. It is the fourth largest city in the world after San Francisco, New York, and East Longitude.
Greater Bay Area.
The layout of one country, two systems, three customs regions, and four core cities is much more complicated.
Later, Ninghang in the Yangtze River Delta and several surrounding cities established the Ninghang Bay Area, but it was obviously not as good as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area, so Ninghang also brought the Magic City into it, and now it was almost there.
However, every bay area has a center. If Ninghang brings the Magic City in, the Magic City will compete for this center.
However, the leader did not elaborate on who should be the center of the four major cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area. Later, they fought for a long time, and finally came up with four centers: administration, finance and trade, tourism, and economy.
Tang An speculated that the construction of the Bay Area may be partly for unification.
But it doesn't have much to do with him, just listen to it.
Tang An also spoke at the main venue in the morning. As the only representative of the film and television industry present, he said a few words.
There were so many people present, and only Tang An was from a film and television company. But this industry is still far behind, even if there are few people present who are richer than him.
There are not many activities later, just two roundtables, one cultural industry sub-forum, and other time can be arranged by yourself.
There will be a luncheon on the second floor of the BFA Hotel International Conference Center at noon, and all members can attend.
Tang An also met a lot of people. After all, the film and television industry is not a big circle, and he also had to film, so he rarely participated in many activities.
SAIC, Fosun, Far East Holdings, Dong'e Ejiao, Haidilao
From all walks of life, some are top leaders, and some are vice presidents. Anyway, if we meet and say hello, we will naturally become familiar with each other after a few words.
In addition to some entrepreneurs and executives of large groups, there are also representatives from all walks of life, such as diving Phelps, Yao Ming who represents the Chinese sports world, and gymnastics champion Liu Xuan and his wife.
Tang An also saw Ma Yun and Yao Ming sitting at the next two tables from a distance. Ma Yun took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with Yao Ming. Yao Ming also quickly stood up and took a step forward to extend his hand.
Ma Yun raised his head and stared at the little giant with a smile, while Yao Ming looked confused.
Ma Yun then started chatting with Yao Ming, and Yao Ming lowered his head to listen.
This is how the cutest height difference was born.
Facts have proved that no matter where we are, the nature of human beings who love to join in the fun cannot be changed.
Many people around took out their mobile phones to take pictures, but Ma Yun was not embarrassed at all. On the contrary, Yao Ming was not as calm as Ma Yun.
Tang An thought of the jokes netizens made about this scene later.
Ma Yun responded to the first couplet: As long as you straighten your back and look at the other person, you won't always feel shorter than others.
Yao Ming's second line: If you don't lower your posture and listen carefully, no matter how great your advantage is, you will lose it.
Hengpi: Lowness is king, humility is gold.
Tang An didn't make fun of him. He looked around and found the governor of the central bank.
"Hello, Chairman Zhou, I am Tang An from Hantang Media."
She bent down slightly, and when she was still three or four steps away from him, she took the initiative to extend her hand and announced her door.
Tang An, deputy chair of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy national governor, has completely lowered his profile.
President Zhou nodded, smiled slightly and said, "Hello, Mr. Tang."
Such a big man didn't have time to talk nonsense with Tang An. When he saw this Tarzan Beidou in the financial world, Tang An first mentioned that more and more movie projects are linked to financial products, and asked for advice on how to operate it in a standardized manner, as well as about insurance.
How can funds and film and television companies effectively constrain movies when they turn them into a financial project?
Tang An doesn't understand finance. There is no way to prevent movies from being linked to finance. Any industry is inevitably linked to finance and insurance.
As long as it operates properly and reasonably, it will be a good thing for film and television companies and ordinary people investors.
Nowadays, investment is getting bigger and bigger. Although there is a lot of capital waving checks to invest in movies, the financial industry will soon usher in a cold winter. In the next two years, the merger and acquisition of Meituan and Dianping will also be affected by the cold winter in the financial industry.
The investor wanted to withdraw funds, which prompted this merger.
Too much capital is not good, and too little capital is not good either.
Moreover, products like Entertainment Bao are also a kind of publicity for movies, and are also a good way to raise funds for projects that lack investment.
However, you cannot follow the method of Entertainment Bao, which is obviously a money scam. Instead, you should really count the money of the investors who purchased the product as the cost, and finally participate in the dividends.
However, there are too many things where good money drives out bad money. Similar to "Ip Man 3", a movie was sold three or four times, and I don't know how many people participated. There are also some p2p platforms. In the end, they couldn't keep it, so they had to sell a lot.
If you buy box office, the entire industry chain will have to be disrupted.
Of course, it is the masses who lose in the end.
This kind of thing happens too often, and the public must have lost hope in similar investments.
Governor Zhou did not give very specific methods, but only emphasized the words supervision and review.
Then Tang An asked the president next week what he thought of Yu'e Bao, but he neither approved nor warned.
Yu'e Bao, later Ant Financial, which was valued at nearly one trillion yuan, and Ahli Cloud, which was valued at 400 billion yuan, became Ahli's new pillar industries.
However, Tang Anming knew that Yu'e Bao and later Ant Financial could achieve a trillion-dollar valuation, but it was impossible for him to copy this thing.
When Entertainment Bao was first launched, it was inspected basically every day by various government departments and the China Banking Regulatory Commission. Tang An would definitely not be able to handle it.
And it’s useless to survive this level. It lacks the users and traffic of Alipay, and it also doesn’t have the backing of Liyun. Once it is breached by hackers, it will be over.
Yu'e Bao and Ant Financial carry out countless transactions every day and connect hundreds of financial institutions. Without Liyun, such a huge amount of calculation would be in vain.
Ah, Liyun later had to withstand 20,000 hacker attacks every day. How many servers in China can withstand it?
But now that Yu'E Bao has passed the government and bank hurdles, Baidu, Jingdong and other companies will have to follow suit.
Even if you can follow me and have a drink of soup, it would be good. To standardize the combination of movies and finance, it would be convenient to have something similar to Yu'E Bao.
And last month, the group completed the A-round financing of Kingsoft Cloud, acquiring 13% of the shares with US$25 million in cash. As the public cloud that once ranked third in the country in the future, it is enough to support Tang An to make a similar balance
What a treasure.
The reason for investing in Kingsoft Cloud was because Huawei refused to cooperate with Tiangong Yicai on the cloud rendering farm. For Huawei, no one would even take a look at such a big business.
In addition to these two aspects, too many places need cloud computing. In a few years, Meituan's annual transaction volume will reach 400 billion, which is almost the same as Jingdong's annual transaction volume.
If Nuomi.com can successfully defeat Meituan, it will also reach this number. It will not be able to do so without cloud server computing, big data management, and analysis.
The payment license is already available, and Nuomi.com will start to get involved in online and offline payments. Everything can be connected in series. In addition to the traffic of Nuomi Movies and Nuomi.com, in the future, it will also be able to access the traffic of Didi, shared bicycles, Jingdong, etc.
You can’t do Yu’e Bao, nor can you achieve the trillion-dollar valuation of Ant Financial. It’s okay to make some scraps and drink some soup.
There are more and more businesses to be done, and these are all must-dos. If we don’t do them now, when Meituan starts to do offline and online payments, the market will not be easy to grab.
Not willing to grab it, but unwilling to give in, once Meituan takes online payments and covers offline payments to KTVs, hotels, and shopping malls across the country, it is also a life service platform, and Nuomi.com will completely fall behind.
Nuomi.com and Meituan have exactly the same thing. For users, one is enough to install on their mobile phones. In the future, one company will definitely become the dominant one, and it is impossible for the two to be side by side.
In the future, Nuomi.com will be in decline, and Ele.me will be able to compete slightly in takeout, but its other businesses will be underperformed. The two are not at the same level at all.
Nuomi.com and Meituan will definitely die, sooner or later, unless they are different like JD.com and Dibao, so they can coexist.
After getting to know a lot of people and verbally reaching a series of "cooperations" that Tang An couldn't remember clearly, Tang An almost left.
In the afternoon, we will discuss the hidden worries and solutions of the scale theory of the automobile industry, Bridge Masters, the development of green ecological cities and life and health industries, energy/resources CEO roundtable, the mission and future of international medical tourism pioneer areas, urbanization of people, China-Austria
Bilateral dialogues between business leaders have nothing to do with Tang An.
The afternoon was time for fun, and it wasn't much fun to play alone. Before coming, Tang An asked some of the company's artists, including Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, and Wang Bo, if they had time to come and play together. It was rare to have time for a vacation.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived together and took the same plane.
"Everyone is here, let's put down our luggage first and let's set off."
Tang An said hello and took them to the dock.
Yang Mi in the crowd said, "Brother An, you go ahead, I want to take a bath."
Tang An was speechless. He had never seen anyone take a shower before going to sea.
"Otherwise, there is a swimming pool on the yacht."
"How can you take a bath in the swimming pool!" Yang Mi looked disgusted.
Deng Chao next to him smiled and said, "Mi Mi, why don't you swim twice in the sea and you'll be clean?"
Yang Mi curled his lips and said, "I don't want it."
Tang An shook his head, "There are several shower rooms on the yacht. You can go to the hotel to wash up. We'll leave first. When you're done, make a phone call and ask the helicopter to pick you up. This will save you having to go back to the dock."
He led everyone to the pier and boarded a 120-foot luxury yacht that had been moored here for a long time.
There is a banquet hall, supporting lighting stage, floor-to-ceiling LED screen, KTV, luxury suites, large dining room, shower room, dressing room, toilet, sea view platform, swimming pool, helipad, 120 feet, it is definitely a luxury yacht.
"Wow, it's so long and has three floors. It's much larger than what I used when filming a drama in Xiangshan."
"There is a plane parked. Is it a seaplane?"
"Don't make any noise, it's just an ordinary helicopter. We didn't rent a seaplane, but we have capsized boats, speedboats, and motorboats. You can do whatever you want."
Tang An said to Liu Haoran and Peng Yichang, "Today is not the weekend, isn't it? Why don't you go to school if you don't have any scenes?"
They were quite excited at first, but the two people who were looking around immediately fell silent.
"You still have to learn. Some things can be learned through practice, but the things taught in school cannot be discarded."
Tang An casually told him, without saying much, he chose a room and changed his clothes.
The lesbians had to move more slowly, and it took more than twenty minutes before they gathered on the deck.
"Come, let's have a drink and celebrate this wonderful holiday."
"Thank you, Mr. Tang!"
Blue sky, white clouds, clear sea water, and cool sea breeze are just right for Hainan in April.
There are also several beautiful beauties, Tang Yan, Wan Qian, Zhao Liying, Xiao Di, Nana, and their white legs are a bit dazzling.
Wang Bo, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, Wang Baoqiang, Deng Chao and Liu Ye also brought their wives and children.
Tang An smiled and said, "It's rare for everyone to get together and just have fun for two days. There are only a few comfortable days throughout the year."
Ning Hao said, "Dr. Tang, you are a very busy man. You have to manage the company and film."
Tang An and Ning Hao had a drink and said, "Aren't you the same? Why, you are satisfied with "Heart Blossoms on the Road"."
Ning Hao shook his head, "How can I compare with you, Mr. Tang? "Heart Blossoms on the Road" is not bad. With the two of them helping me, I can save a lot of energy."
Seeing that Ning Hao was out playing and still couldn't put down the movie, Tang An advised, "There is still time before the National Day. Don't think about the movie yet. Change your mind. Look, my "Mysterious Superstar" is about to be released in the summer.
We haven’t started taking action yet.”
Xu Zheng echoed from the side, "That's right, Ning Hao, you have to learn from Dong Tang. Relax. It's just a comedy. Don't let your emotions get suppressed."
Wang Bo also said, "Yes, the director's state can easily affect the entire movie. If you are still in this state when editing, don't screw it up."
"Bozi, you, a layman, have come to educate me." Ning Hao laughed and scolded.
Wang Bodao said, "Don't look down on me as an amateur. I have been studying to be a director, and I also signed up for a training class. I guess I will graduate and make movies soon."
Tang An smiled and said, "You all want to be directors. By the way, Baoqiang, how are you studying? When will you graduate?"
Wang Baoqiang was a little embarrassed. When he was at the Golden Horse Awards, he saw Wang Bo saying that he was quite a director, so he casually mentioned that he also wanted to be a director.
It's just that in the past two or three years, he has been involved in several films, so he has no time to study.
However, Wang Baoqiang still said, "Dr. Tang, I already have an idea for a script. It's also a road comedy."
Speaking of road comedies, Ning Hao became more energetic, "Tell me about the wall, what's the idea?"
I don't have any good ideas at the moment. I just thought of Ning Hao's movie as a road comedy, so I said it casually.
However, Wang Baoqiang, who seemed to be honest on the surface, was not slow at all, and he quickly improvised it.
"Actually, I have also watched so many movies about "Journey to the West" in the past two years. You see, "Journey to the West", "Havoc in Heaven", and "The Return of the Great Sage" are all special effects blockbusters. I was wondering if I could make them.
A funny plot about Tang Seng and his apprentice on the journey to the west, but Tang Seng is not suitable for comedy, so I thought again, in modern times, it is also a team of four similar to Tang Seng and his apprentice, a funny story about modern people on the journey, and these four
It is best for the individual character to be somewhat similar to Tang Seng’s master and apprentice, at least to have some shadow.”
It was so clever that Wang Baoqiang admired himself for being able to come up with such a good idea at the last moment.
After saying that, I thought about it again, it was really a wonderful idea, and it has benefited from the popularity of Journey to the West IP. If Ning Hao's road comedy "Heart Blossom Road" becomes popular, my own road comedy-themed film can also benefit from it.
If it's not kept safe, it's going to get popular.
A director who can sell a blockbuster movie is completely different from an actor who stars in a blockbuster movie. If he makes this movie and it becomes a box office hit, his status in the entertainment industry will at least rise to a higher level and he will earn a lot of money.
More!
Wang Baoqiang almost didn’t expect the company to be listed!
Although it was made up temporarily, Ning Hao and the others thought about it carefully and found that it was really feasible.
"Okay, this is a good idea. Baoqiang can find a screenwriter to write the script according to your ideas."
Wang Bo said, "This is good, really good. I haven't thought of a good idea now. I didn't expect you to come up with an idea so quickly at Baoqiang. It seems that you made the film earlier than me."
Tang An's head is full of black lines. This is really the prototype of the movie "Havoc in Tianzhu" that Wang Baoqiang later made. There is no other such super bad movie.
"Come on, you guys can talk, I'm going to go and play with the beauties."
Tang An patted his butt and walked towards a few girls not far away.
"What are you doing, going to sea to fight against the landlords?"
"Dr. Tang, are you coming? I have to take care of the child." Sun Li wanted to give Tang An a seat.
"No, just go ahead and play. Your little ancestor will have no problem playing with the waiter."
Tang An shook his head and lay down next to him, with his head resting on Tang Yan's smooth legs, watching the five of them fight against the landlord.
A few girls were fighting against the landlord, but no one else could, but each one was worse at poker than the other.
Tang An simply lay there to bask in the sun. At this time, Yang Mi, who had arrived late, was picked up by a helicopter. He brought a fruit plate over, peeled a grape and handed it to Tang An's mouth. He also watched the battle beside him, watching with gusto. He also gave suggestions from time to time.
"Tangtang, fry her."
The temperature was twenty-six or seven degrees, lying on the sea blowing the sea breeze, and there were people waiting for me to eat and drink, and all I needed was someone to squeeze my legs.
On vacation, it's best to just lie down like this.
A corrupt life, if it goes any further, it will become a feast for the sea and the sky.
Several male compatriots over there looked at Tang An and there were still people waiting on him to eat and drink. Wang Baoqiang glanced at Tang An with some envy.
His wife next to him noticed Wang Baoqiang's eyes, and her eyes began to look a little unkind.
Wang Baoqiang quickly turned his head and fed his wife a piece of fruit.
