Thursday, September 23, 1999, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the Portman Suite, Peng Bo looked attentively at this year's list of the world's top 500 companies. The top 10 were General Motors, DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor Company, Mitsui & Co., Itochu Corporation, and Mitsubishi.
Shoji, Exxon, General Electric, Toyota Motor Corporation, 4 out of 10 companies are Japanese.
"I hope that in a few years, Pengbo Media will compile its own list of the world's top 500 companies."
Bang bang bang——
Several soft knocks on the door rang. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already 10:48 pm. "Wait a moment, I'll be here soon." He stood up and opened the door.
As the chief representative of Time Warner's China office, Time Warner Chairman and CEO Li Wen and his party will fly to Shanghai tomorrow, and he, the chief representative who has not yet taken office, will also accompany him throughout the journey.
Of course, when Li Wen came to Shanghai this time, in addition to participating in this world-famous forum, Peng Bo considered that his biggest purpose should be to promote Time Warner to enter China and open up the Chinese market, and the second was to examine the establishment of his own office. But among the three
They are also interconnected.
"Aren't you asleep yet?"
The door opened, and Shi Jiao was standing outside with a bottle of red wine. Her hair was held high, her smile was like a flower, her neckline was drooped, revealing a hint of white, "Can I buy Mr. Bang a drink?"
"Of course, when a beautiful woman comes to your door, you can't ask for her." Peng Bo said with a smile. He subconsciously covered his pajamas and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
"The big boss will come to China tomorrow?" Shi Jiao skillfully poured the red wine, and the dark red liquid swirled gracefully in the transparent glass.
"Yeah." He was also sitting on the sofa in his pajamas, drinking red wine and looking at the lights in the distance. In order to prepare for this forum, Time Warner sent a vice president to Shanghai, and he was very busy in the preparation of the meeting.
I don't want to interfere, but I don't want to interfere.
Li Wen's arrival is indispensable for all Chinese media. There is no need to worry about this. In addition, he is relieved that the reception work is left to the Portman Hotel. He does not understand why Li Wen does not stay at the Jinmao Hyatt but instead stays at the hotel.
When we arrived at Portman, did Clinton and his delegation stay here during their visit to China and leave too deep an impression on foreign businessmen?
"The boss is coming, are you nervous?" Shi Jiao smiled and stretched out the cup. With a crisp sound, the dark red liquid flowed into the purple lips.
"I'm nervous." Peng Bo slowly sipped the red wine, "The boss is here, can you not be nervous?" His tone was very casual, as casual as talking about eating and dressing.
Shi Jiao smiled. She understood that Peng Bo had no intention of getting angry at all. She pursed her lips and smiled, "Time Warner's title is very loud, but they will not be accustomed to the local environment in China, so they chose the person they thought was the most suitable."
Come be the chief representative."
She looked at Peng Bo faintly. Now it was Time Warner that wanted Peng Bo, not Peng Bo who wanted Time Warner. "Are they sincere?" She gently raised her legs, and temptation flashed in front of Peng Bo's eyes.
And passed away.
"Sincerity?" Peng Bo understood what she meant, that is, apart from the title of chief representative given by Time Warner, what other benefits or promises are there? Of course, with Peng Bo buying Jinmao's 50-story net worth, with that salary, he
It's not looked down upon.
"I think sincerity requires Li Wen to give it to me personally." Peng Bo also looked at Shi Jiao faintly, "If he is sensible."
Shi Jiao smiled. She leaned comfortably on the sofa and raised her legs, revealing her snow-white toes with red nails. She quietly poured wine for Peng Bo, "It's so late, am I too ignorant?
Already?"
"What do you think?" Peng Bo raised his cup. In ancient times, tea was served to guests, but now wine is served. He believed Shi Jiao would understand.
"Then how do you want me to be sensible?" Shi Jiao said with a smile, staring at Peng Bo quietly, his eyebrows full of amorous feelings, boundless and swaying.
Peng Bo's heart was shaken. He quickly turned around and drank the red wine in one gulp. "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival. Prepare a mooncake for me and give it to Li Wen."
"Mooncake?" Shi Jiao was startled. The hotel had all ready-made cakes. For the taste of foreigners, the sugar content was specially lowered. "Okay, this mooncake will definitely give you extra points."
…
Woke up early in the morning, Peng Bo carefully arranged his suit in front of the mirror. First impression is very important. Although the development momentum of Pengbo Media is very strong now, this is in China, in front of the world-class established company Time Warner.
Pengbo Media is still just a junior. He needs to learn and make progress. This requires time and a platform. Now Time Warner has provided him with a good platform, which he attaches great importance to.
"Boss." Luo Yan had been waiting in the lobby early, took the briefcase from his hand, and the car sped towards the newly opened Hudong International Airport.
Of course, he was not the only one who picked him up at the airport. Leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Foreign Affairs Office, the publisher of the Chinese version of "Fortune", Mr. Gao Desi, the president of Hong Kong China Consulting Company, and Ni Dehan, the president of the conference organization department of the "Fortune" Global Forum, also picked him up.
machine.
Unlike the dignitaries and entrepreneurs attending the meeting who arrived in the capital a few days later, Li Wen and his party flew directly to Shanghai.
Among Li Wen's huge entourage, Peng Bo saw Mu Ruilan at a glance, and Mu Ruilan waved to Peng Bo excitedly. When Li Wen and his entourage walked out of the airport, the beautiful staff of Fortune greeted them with a smile and presented flowers.
The leaders of Shanghai Municipality came up to him in person and were immediately introduced by an interpreter. Li Wen shook hands with the leaders enthusiastically. When Peng Bo walked forward enthusiastically, Mu Ruilan immediately introduced, "This is Peng Bo, our future chief executive of China."
represent."
"Hello, Donald," Li Wen could actually call out Peng Bo's English name when the two met for the first time. "It's better to meet once after hearing for a long time." Oh, saying this idiom in English also made Peng Bo smile knowingly,
"Mr. Li Wen, you are also famous in China, like thunder."
The translator standing nearby discovered that he was temporarily unemployed and there was no need for an interpreter between the two of them.
"Donald, your English is so good." Li Wen's compliment came from the bottom of his heart. He had met many Chinese entrepreneurs, and no one spoke such fluent English. He saw how enthusiastic the leaders of Shanghai and Hainan were towards Peng Bo.
, Li Wen smiled again and said, "It seems that you are very popular here."
Peng Bo smiled, "This city is also more welcoming to friends from Time Warner. It's great to have friends from far away." He looked at the city leaders. In such a foreign affairs occasion, he couldn't say the wrong thing, "Friends are here."
, we also have good wine.”
"No," Li Wen suddenly smiled and shook his head, with a showy look, but this look shocked the people in the Foreign Affairs Office, "No..."
"Yes, we are not friends, we are a family." Peng Bo reacted quickly, Li Wen immediately laughed, and the city leaders also breathed a sigh of relief. The group of people walked forward talking and laughing, and then Peng Bo and Mu Ruilan
Shake hands and say, "Old Mu, welcome home."
Mu Ruilan also smiled happily, "Thank you, I feel like home here. Come on, Li Wen is looking for you."
Sure enough, Li Wen turned around and motioned for Peng Bo to come to him, "Our Fortune magazine recently announced the ranking of the young richest people in the United States under the age of 40. Almost all of the 40 male richest people started their careers by relying on computers or the Internet."
Peng Bo's heart moved, and he seemed to have a new idea.
"Donald, in the afternoon we plan to hold a meeting of Time Warner's board of directors, where your appointment will be formally voted on. Can you participate in this board meeting?"
Oh, this is a clever move made by Time Warner chairman Li Wen in China. Taking advantage of the Fortune annual meeting, he held a board meeting in China. This is the first time that Time Warner has moved a board meeting to a
When you go overseas, you are still in such a developing country.
"I think I can." Peng Bo smiled and held Li Wen's hand again.
