Chapter 96 Only because of being at the highest level (3)
The Fortune Global Forum is known as the "Olympic" event in the world economic arena. It is recognized by the world's business giants as opening the "clearest and most direct window" to grasp the direction of the world economy.
Precisely because the giants of the world's super business groups have always attached great importance to the Fortune Global Forum and call participating in the forum a "brainstorming", the venue chosen must be the most dynamic place in the world's economy today.
This year, the global economy has also been mixed. What is gratifying is that global Internet companies are rising in an all-round way. The iconic Nasdaq Composite Index has doubled in one year. What is worrying is that the haze of the financial crisis has not disappeared.
The economies of Russia and Brazil encountered another crisis, but in China, 1999 was a good year with continuous joyous events.
This year, Shenzhou-1 was successfully launched, and Macau returned to the embrace of the motherland. This year, in the list of the world's top 500 published by Fortune magazine, 5 Chinese companies were on the list. They are the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the Bank of China.
, Sinopec, COFCO... In the private sector, the Chinese stock market has brought a feast to investors, with the Shanghai Composite Index rushing to 1,700 points, a gain of 50%...
In the context of the global economic downturn, the location of the Fortune Global Forum meeting was finally decided in the Shanghai Hudong New District, the most economically dynamic area in China!
"Donald, you know, the Fortune Global Forum stipulates that companies participating in this forum must be the world's highest-level business giants, and there are also strict restrictions on participants. Only the company's president, CEO, chairman of the board of directors, executive directors, etc.
You are qualified to attend the conference. So, here, you will get to know more people, and more people will get to know you." Mu Ruilan picked up the wine glass, as if the situation was under control, "Your list cannot be centered around China.
Turn around, Asia, America, Europe, and even the world are all the targets of your list."
Peng Bo listened quietly, listening to the editorial director of a veteran financial media give him a "lesson".
"Also, in this financial and business event, Donald, we will invite you to attend the event. As the host of a certain sub-forum, you will have the same treatment as the deputy editor-in-chief of Time and Fortune." This proposal was made last year.
Mu Ruilan had already mentioned it when we were at the Mahler Villa.
I have to say that this is a very tempting bait. At this meeting, if Peng Bo comes to host one of the activities, he will have the opportunity to face-to-face with the CEOs of the Fortune 500 and the global dignitaries. It has to be said,
This is very tempting. Whether in China or abroad, it is important to have personal connections, which will go a long way in improving your ranking.
"From you, my old friend, we don't have to hide anything," Mu Ruilan continued to work. "The progress of our forum is very optimistic. The staff of the magazine conference department who came to Shanghai to do preparatory work...
The hotel is very busy with faxes, phone calls, emails and accepting visits.
One after another, some super-rich people not only asked to participate in the meeting, but also asked to arrange speeches at the conference, and some even asked for information on Chinese partners... Among them, the top three are General Motors Company of the United States, Ford Motor Company, and Mitsui Industrial Co., Ltd. of Japan.
Companies etc. are asking to speak at conferences…”
Oh, Peng Bo was noncommittal.
"With more than 100 days left before the conference, 350 of the world's top 500 companies have decided to attend the conference." Mu Ruilan said a shocking number, "Entrepreneurs from China are also flocking to the conference, hoping to
It is a great honor to participate in this grand event of the century, even if I cannot officially participate, and even to sit in on the Century Forum of Global Fortune." Mu Ruilan adjusted his glasses.
"Donald, this is an opportunity, a good opportunity for us to cooperate for win-win cooperation." Mu Ruilan picked up the wine glass, "Should we achieve something?"
Peng Bo picked up the wine glass and touched it with Mu Ruilan, "We should achieve something, but unfortunately, I don't have to hide it in front of you. In five days, the financial media from all over the world will gather in Shanghai. The Chinese
I am honest. Even though I would like to give you this list now, I cannot do so."
oh.
The expression on Mu Ruilan's face changed several times, and finally settled on a very regretful expression.
"Old Mu, however, you can make an offer. Before the final price is determined, it may still end up in Fortune Magazine." Peng Bo smiled again and touched the wine glass that Mu Ruilan was still holding in the air.
A crisp sound.
Mu Ruilan finally woke up, "That can only be like this."
"But, Mr. Mu," Shi Jiao said in a joking tone, but Mu Ruilan immediately focused his attention on her, "We, Portman, can assume greater responsibilities at this event."
What will this world-renowned forum, highly respected by the global business community and multinational companies, bring to Shanghai?
If the "Fortune" forum is not wealth, then it is at least related to "Fortune"
have the closest relationship.
The people of Shanghai and Shanghai have long seen the rolling wealth behind the conference table. In preparation for the Fortune Forum, the construction of the Yanzhong Elevated Highway has provided strong muscles for the take-off of Shanghai, a large economic center city.
Just one day later, the magnificent Hudong International Airport was officially opened to traffic. "One city, two airports" has given Shanghai and Shanghai another pair of strong wings to achieve a new cross-century take-off.
Metro Line 2 and the Huanghujiang Pedestrian Tunnel, which connect the east and west of Shanghai, have also been fully connected. The magnificent Shanghai International Conference Center and Jin Mao Tower have unveiled their mysterious veil...
"As far as I know, there are four hotels hosting this conference, the Hyatt Hotel and Shangri-La Hotel in east Shanghai, and the Portman Hotel in west Shanghai," Mu Ruilan said, "I will tell our staff in China
The chief representative will communicate this matter."
He agreed happily, Shi Jiao smiled, and the two drank from their glasses.
Peng Bo also appreciated Shi Jiao's borrowing the wind to set sail. He knew that on the day of the forum, housing prices in the city would double to more than 200 US dollars a day, and the presidential suites in more than 20 high-end hotels in Shanghai and Shanghai would
There will also be “supply exceeding demand”.
…
After sending Mu Ruilan back to the Portman Hotel, Joseph from Citibank was already waiting here. After a brief greeting with him, Peng Bo walked into the elevator. Shi Jiao drank some wine, and his face was also flushed and as bright as a peach blossom.
The elevator was empty, no one was there.
The two entered side by side. Shi Jiao raised her eyes to look at Peng Bo, smiled charmingly, but then lowered her head. When she looked up again, a strand of black hair covered her face. She gently pulled her hair back and said, "Donald, you missed it."
One chance.”
"Not necessarily." Peng Bo looked directly at this touching beauty, "If the wealth is intentional, it will eventually come to his family. If they are not interested, then there is no need to force it."
"Not this opportunity."
Shi Jiao smiled, and she walked past Peng Bo. Peng Bo lowered his head and looked at this beautiful face. His whole body was filled with the fragrance of Shi Jiao. The fragrance was dense and intoxicating.
"What if, I, am interested..."
…
Downstairs, in the bar, Mu Ruilan felt very sorry, but Joseph smiled and handed him a glass of whiskey.
"You are such an idiot."
oh?
The relationship between the two was that of friends who could say such foul words. Mu Ruilan looked at Joseph in confusion.
"If I were the president of Time Warner, and if I were you, I would do it without hesitation," Joseph said with a smile. "Also, Fortune Global Forum, you have spent so much money, do you still care?
