We are all young people and it is easy to mingle with each other.
"Heinwei, can I ask, in what year did you arrive in China?" Peng Bo said with a smile, "What is your impression of China?"
"Last year, I came to China," Heinwei said with a smile. "China is undergoing rapid changes. Every time I come back to the UK and my friends ask me what China is like, I can only say that it is very big and very beautiful. Its GDP continues to exceed
10%..." She looked at Yan Ning, who smiled and shook his hand.
"These are too macro, so let's start from a small place." Peng Bo smiled and said, "Have you been to a newsstand in China?"
"Yes, I passed." Heinwei smiled.
"In China, you can see many people studying for MBA and EMBA. You will find that the magazines in the first row of newsstands are all about how to get rich, such as how to be a boss. But if you go to the UK or the United States
, go to Xiangjiang, the era when the first row of the newsstand is full of celebrities: what Beckham’s girlfriend has eaten recently, Beckham’s hair style has changed..."
"Yes." Heinwei smiled, "There is a difference."
"If you make a comparative analysis, it can be said that the market for successful learning is particularly large in China. We, Yan Ning and ten classmates, are working on a project to rank China's 100 richest people and draw portraits of China's rich people.
As a reference, as an observation instrument, to record China and see through China, I think that with the success of learning from this soil, our list will continue to be popular in China."
"Moreover, globalization has made China's wealth stories no longer a local story, but a global story. Heinwei, are you willing to join our team in your spare time?"
"Can you explain in more detail?" Heinwei half-leaned on the bedside, not refusing but not agreeing either.
“In the history of science, art and business, when a school or country is in its peak period, a group of great figures or companies will be born in a cluster in a certain year. This phenomenon is difficult to use very rational logic.
To deduce it, it is probably the inherent drama of history."
Peng Bo remembered this passage deeply and recited it almost completely.
Heinwei's gaze seems to be on fire, her eyes are like the ocean, full of magic and mystery, and it seems that she can suck you in with just one look.
At this time, Haiyang was watching Peng Bo with admiration. Peng Bo also felt that he was possessed by Ma Yun at this time. His current gestures and expressions were comparable to Ma Yun's speech to the Twelve Arhats. He can now fully understand the passion for entrepreneurship.
.
"I have mentioned to Yan Ning and Xiao Lu," Lu Yusen adjusted his glasses and stared at the professor silently, "China does not yet have a complete and systematic business history, but the rich list can be used as an insight into business.
Xiangyi, use the rich list to understand the changes in Chinese society."
"The list may have been controversial since its inception. Some people may be disgusted with it and think it is vulgar. Some people may question it and think it is not accurate enough. But after 20 years, the public will understand it - it is a miniature
The history of economic changes.”
"Similarly, the public will also remember you, Heinwei. Now when people mention you, everyone will remember Citibank, but they will not remember you Heinwei, Yusen. Now the professors at Tongqi will mention that you were in the same school
We will study together, but I will not praise you, Lu Yusen. But it will be different in the future. If you mention the Rich List, everyone will know you. This list was completed by us together and is our joint effort."
Peng Bo looked at Heinwei eagerly, and now he regarded Heinwei as the last member to return to the team.
"Donald, are you really a reporter? But, I think you are more of a philosopher." Heinwei said with a smile, and Yan Ning also laughed.
Peng Bo also laughed, but he did not refute. He would rather take it as a compliment. In the minds of foreigners, philosophers are worthy of respect.
He continued, "After the list is produced, credibility needs to be established step by step. Therefore, from the beginning, we must attract the perspective of international media. We must be international from the beginning, and strive to make this list a reflection of China's asset rankings.
It is an important reference value for the rise and fall of wealthy people. I believe that in the future, when the reform and opening up reaches the 40th anniversary, this will definitely become one of the key moments that changes the history of Chinese business."
This time Heinwei did not smile, and Yan Ning remained calm. After all, twenty years is too far away, and the theme of changing China's business history is too ambitious.
Twenty years is enough for a person to grow up, and it is also enough for a person to grow old. Memories are filtered, and the future is filled with unknown fears. But if he "opens his eyes", Peng Bo believes in himself
You can feel the pulse of the future development of the industry.
"Although none of us can be a great prophet, the fascinating thing about history lies in the amazing similarities and the thousands of miles of time. When we look back at the pioneers in the industry, they have been pushed to the forefront of the times by the hands of time.
, are also running forward with confusion, so I hope Heinwei will join in and we can run together."
The speech came to an abrupt end.
"I can try." At this time, Heinwei did not hesitate. She had a very charming temperament, sexy but not gaudy, with red hair and blue eyes, and red lips that were as attractive as sweet candy.
Peng Bo smiled and stretched out his hand. He knew that the last and most important part of the team formation work had been completed. This team was all from Kochi, including Chinese and foreigners. He needed Heinwei's foreign background to prepare for this team.
Project endorsement.
Yes, it takes a foreign identity, or even a foreign face, for foreign media to accept this list.
If a Chinese person or a Chinese institution were to make this ranking, foreign media would not accept it. However, Heinwei’s Citigroup background and British nationality perfectly combine the two.
Another crucial point is that in the golden decade of wealth creation in the future, China's total GDP will jump from seventh in the world to second in the world. As Shanghai is China's economic center, the release of this list must be in Shanghai.
The sea is not as meaningful as Shanghai in any other city in China.
"In the Chinese capital, there are shirtless men on a hot day," Heinwei looked at the proud Peng Bo and reminded with a smile, "What do the people in the capital call them?" Mandarin is somewhat correct.
meaning.
"That's Master Bang." Yan Ning said with a smile.
Lu Yusen responded quickly, "Then Senior Peng is——Master Bang."
Mr. Bang!
Compared with Professor Peng, students from Tongqi quickly recognized this title.
Peng Bo smiled. He was not shy about this title. Not everyone in China can be called a master.
"Master Bang, it's time to eat."
A classmate from the team pushed in the door at this moment and bought extra food for the evening. Peng Bo noticed that Heyinwei did not dislike the messy environment here and calmly accepted the chopsticks handed over by Lu Yusen.
…
Among the university campuses in Shanghai, there has never been a school as full of story-telling as Tongqi, with remarkable features everywhere.
We're all in the same boat!
These days, everyone interprets the meaning of these four words with actions.
"I can't eat anymore. I've gained two pounds." Yan Ning protested, but the protest was ineffective. Facing the small meat skewers, she hesitated and picked up one.
A small meat stall that has been open for 20 years only opens at nine o'clock in the evening. You can buy small meat skewers for 20 cents... This is the late-night canteen in many people's memories!
"Don't look at me, my part has been given to Yan Ning." Lu Yusen spread his hands, and Heyinwei also stood up to replenish his energy, "I have also given mine to Yan Ning. She will take charge of the final work. We can do it tonight
There are results.”
Another girl from Shanghai also looked very excited, "Everyone believes in Yan Ning."
Yan Ning had no time to pay attention. She just took the small meat skewers that were handed to her mouth and put them down.
Peng Bo looked at the calendar on the table. It took exactly five days from the time he returned to Tongqi to form a team to the time the list was released.
"It may be inaccurate and there are omissions." Yan Ning said. Although she said this, the expression on her face was relieved.
Peng Bo smiled when he saw the list, "The Rich List cannot be 100% accurate... We can only ensure 60% to 70% accuracy. Don't laugh. We frankly admit that due to differences in calculation methods,
Sometimes there are some errors."
His eyes did not leave the list handed over by Yan Ning. On this list, China's Red Family ranked first... Looking down, there was a long list of familiar names. The Liu brothers of the Hope Group used canned food.
Strange business people who changed planes... Wu Bingxin of Sanzhu, He Xiangjian of Midea, Li Jingwei of Jianlibao... and Li Xiaohua, the first Chinese to own a Ferrari sports car, and the name of an actress. She has a famous saying, It is difficult to be a woman.
, it is more difficult to be a famous woman...
Finally, he saw the name of Zhang Chaoyang, who founded Atesin. "He may become the second Yahoo." Yan Ning explained.
"Okay." Peng Bo excitedly clenched the list in his hand. Everything came together like magic. Next, he was about to get to know the big guys and count his money crazily...
1998!
This is the best of times and the worst of times;
This is an age of wisdom, this is an age of stupidity;
This is an age of trust, this is an age of doubt;
It's a season of light, it's a season of darkness;
This is the spring of hope, this is the winter of disappointment;
We have a bright future, but at the same time we feel that there is little hope...
But standing on the cusp of 1998, Peng Bo believed that he would fly...
