The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games Chapter 554

Chapter 554 554. What? ! The Davos Forum invites me to give a speech?

Being invited to participate in the Davos Forum is an amazing achievement.

Normally, it's other people who rush in hoping to squeeze in. Boss Cao's situation is special, because someone else took the initiative to send the invitation.

But this is normal. After all, Boss Cao is now the richest man in the world, and Bomi Group is the world's top large enterprise.

Isn't it a bit unjustifiable that the World Economic Forum is not attended by the world's richest man?

Although everyone now calls the forum Davos, this January meeting is the annual World Economic Forum, and Davos is simply the name of the hotel hosting the event.

While the town is seen as synonymous with this glitzy conference, many other events are also hoping to use the name for publicity, often putting a series of conferences under the Davos sign.

For example, in Cao Yang's previous life, a Saudi Arabia special investment summit was called "Davos in the Desert", but that happened to be the time when the death of Saudi journalist Jamal triggered a series of controversies.

As a result, the World Economic Forum responded, and the organizers warned that they would use all possible means to protect the Davos brand. to avoid improper use.

The World Economic Forum is a non-profit organization with an ambitious goal of trying to improve the current situation of the world.

Each year's gathering has formal sessions, including numerous speeches and sessions, discussing a variety of topics, from the global economic situation to stress management.

But in fact, the attendees are not there to participate in these sessions, but to constantly socialize and build interpersonal networks.

During the four-day conference, attendees stayed together in a relatively small environment. Business owners, guest officials and reporters could have countless meetings in a short period of time without being limited by transportation time.

These social activities range from daily meals, drinks and parties until late into the night, and many companies also hold these events.

Forum founder Klaus Schwab started organizing this annual event in 1971. The first year was to discuss international management measures. Now the World Economic Forum has more topics, but some people criticize it as just a place that only talks but does not do anything.

But Davos brings attendees together, allowing guests a rare chance to meet outside of public view.

The only attendees at Davos who have to pay are companies; all other attendees are invited for free.

The basic fee that businesses need to pay is CHF 27,000 (approximately £20,900) per person. But in fact, it is not only that. Another cost is that participants need to be members of the World Economic Forum. The forum's membership system stipulates that basic members need to pay at least 60,000 Swiss francs in membership fees every year. If it is more expensive, you can become a "strategic partner" , the required amount is CHF 600,000.

It's an expensive business, but those at the top get private meetings with peers and don't have to walk through the ice and snow like ordinary people. They have special cars and personal drivers.

Some would argue it's value for money.

Tackling inequality is a topic of economic discussion in Davos, but the World Economic Forum has a complex system of deeply unequal categorization of attendees with different-colored nameplates.

Yes, you might be on the forum with the Prime Minister of New Zealand and the Prince William of England, but the chances of you running into them in the bathroom are extremely slim.

These first-class guests have white name tags with their photos on them, allowing them access to everywhere, including special meeting places with some commissioners.

Attendees' partners and reporters all have name tags of different colors with different access rights. The lowest level is the hotel name tag. You can't even enter the conference center, but you can attend evening parties or go skiing. It is undoubtedly a good idea. famous brand.

At the Davos Forum, men still accounted for the majority of attendees, although there was already a quota system in place that required all large companies to have one woman present if four men were present.

"Davos man" has become a new term used to describe these powerful and wealthy elite men, people who are difficult to meet in the real world.

Of course, this also reflects the reality to a certain extent. In fact, the political and business circles are also dominated by men.

Every year during this event, some photos are circulated on social networking sites, and everyone is asked to try to find the women in the photos. This situation is slowly improving.

In 2009, 22% of attendees were women, which was not ideal, but that percentage was double that of 2001.

Because Davos is geographically relatively cold and has a higher dimension, it takes time to climb to the top and be invited to attend Davos. If you look at the average age of the attendees, you will know that the average male attendee is 54 years old, and the average female attendee is 54 years old. 49 years old.

But there are exceptions. For example, South African wildlife photographer Skye Mick is the youngest participant this year, and the oldest is 92-year-old Sir David Attenborough, the famous BBC natural science program presenter.

Complex corporate jargon also characterizes the forum, and what exactly they are trying to say is shrouded in mystery that even annual forum watchers struggle to understand.

Because the attendees are basically of extremely distinguished status, the security facilities are also very tight.

There are snipers on basically every rooftop, and security guards with guns in every safe area, and you need to have permission to get in, and every time you enter the main forum center, you have to take off your coat and have your computer and bags scanned, And then putting them back again is like constantly going through airport security, but you're not flying.

Many of the attendees were heads of state or wealthy CEOs, but none of them could resist a free velvet hat.

Every year Zurich Insurance provides blue hats, making each of you look exactly the same and not stand out at all. A lot of people will wear this hat, and a few months later if you see someone doing it on the street, you can nod to each other and you're both from Davos.

Davos people have, to some extent, become representatives of the people at the top of the pyramid.

The fact that Cao Yang was able to receive this invitation shows that his status is indeed "extraordinary".

The weight of this forum can be very heavy or light, and even because of its [unofficial nature] it makes certain things more enforceable when discussed in the forum.

A group of world elites are here to discuss global issues, but there is no telling whether they can be implemented in detail.

However, if you want to play some sidelines and discuss some world-wide contradictory issues in unofficial occasions, it is not impossible. So to a certain extent, the Davos Forum is a good forum for a world with conflicts. A place where leaders negotiate relationships.

So the little secretary seemed extremely excited when she told him the news.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to be invited to the World Economic Forum in Davos.

And the little secretary said that she had never been to Davos in her life.

"If you really want to go, buy your own ticket." Cao Yang took the invitation, sat on the chair, and looked over it several times.

In fact, not only were there written invitations, but they also sent electronic invitations via email.

It was done very formally, and the little secretary even called to check it out to make sure the news was true. Boss, just go ahead with confidence.

"Boss, you don't know how expensive the air ticket is, and you have to fly from here to Switzerland." The little secretary said in surprise, "And do you know, the hotel prices in Davos are simply ridiculously high."

"So?" Cao Yang raised his eyebrows, "Don't you have any money?"

"Well…"

I don't know why, but it seems that after getting rich, the little secretary still feels that she is losing her hair.

Thinking about a hotel costing several thousand yuan a night makes me feel distressed.

And in a place like Davos, a hotel that costs thousands of dollars a night is not a good hotel, it can only be said to be barely able to accommodate people.

I remember that when the prince and princess held the World Economic Forum, they could only stay in an ordinary hotel with bunk beds.

The room is very small, and it actually has bunk beds. Can you believe this?

But being able to participate in this kind of meeting is already a high honor in itself.

And what Zhuang Yurou is most happy about is that she can go there to see the snow scenery. It is said that the scenery in Davos is very beautiful. If you are lucky, you can also see the aurora at night.

Especially in January, it is the best time to enjoy the aurora.

"Go ahead, go ahead," Zhuang Yurou encouraged, "I can go book the tickets."

"Why are you so enthusiastic? It was me who was invited, not you." Cao Yang looked at her funny.

"Don't be like this, after all, I am also your secretary. When the boss goes to attend the World Economic Forum, there must be an assistant beside him to do something.

Even if it's just helping me take notes or preparing a computer for you to use, that's fine. "

"Hmm... It seems to make sense." Cao Yang lowered his head and thought for a second, then agreed with the little secretary's statement.

Seeing her joyful expression, Cao Yang couldn't help but laugh.

Although Cao Yang has not joined any Taishan Club or CEC, he still signed up to become a member of the World Economic Forum.

The idea is also very simple -

Because this forum is influential enough, authoritative figures give reports and speeches on it every year.

In my previous life...well...some things had to be harmonized once I said it.

Yao Chen, a well-known domestic actress, also gave a speech at this forum. The topic of her speech was attention to refugees.

Discuss with guests how to leverage the growing power of social media to help more Chinese people understand the humanitarian crisis around the world.

Of course, after the house collapsed, it became less popular.

But you can get a glimpse of it from the fact that they are all vying to be on this forum to gain a sense of presence and make friends with some influential celebrities in the world.

For celebrities, this is a good social place and a good opportunity to run their own businesses.

In short, it is a forum that you should participate in and hope to participate in.

Cao Yang did not attend the Davos Forum just to socialize. To a certain extent, Boss Cao is still a young man with a little social fear. He doesn't like it very much and is not used to having conventional social interactions with these people.

In the end, it is nothing more than getting to know more celebrities, and then everyone can lend a helping hand when each other is in trouble.

Cao Yang didn't like this kind of occasion very much.

But the reason why he wants to participate is also very simple -

Here Cao Yang can convey his ideas, so that more people outside the country can listen to his true thoughts, and the world can also see Chinese entrepreneurs and understand the real Chinese environment.

This is a very good window and a good place for publicity. It would be a pity not to participate.

Cao Yang only became a member last year. He did not expect to receive an invitation so quickly and to be able to give a speech this time.

It's really emotional.

To put it in one sentence -

Once you have enough money, you will find that many problems are no longer problems.

Even if Cao Yang doesn't want to participate, the Davos Forum is eager to invite him.

After all, Boss Cao is so legendary. He became the richest man in the world at a young age. Bomi Group has also become the largest company in the world and has a strong influence all over the world.

This can be seen from the instantaneous surge in the other party's stock price after they took a stake in China International Core.

If even the world's richest man doesn't speak in this forum, then do you have the nerve to call it the World Economic Forum?

But speaking of it, Cao Yang was not mentally prepared.

What is [Building a Post-Financial Crisis World]

What he hates most in his life is essay writing.

Where did this start?

I feel like the topic is so big. As a small entrepreneur, how can he have such great ability to give this speech?

Forget it, I'll come up with a topic by myself then.

Cao Yang thought.

He has something he wants to say.

These contents are also related to the economy, but they are just different.

"By the way, who are the celebrities participating in the forum this time?" Cao Yang asked casually.

Zhuang Yurou was stunned at first, and then an extremely excited expression appeared on her face.

"It sounds amazing."

"Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, *****, ***,..."

The little secretary read the list over and felt heavy just by holding it.

"Huh?"

Cao Yang suddenly realized something was wrong and asked strangely, "How come Steve Jobs isn't dead yet?"

"Well…"

Zhuang Yurou felt extremely ashamed.

Boss, no matter how bad you think your competitors are, no matter how much you don't like Steve Jobs, you won't curse them to death, right?

"But it seems to be coming soon."

Zhuang Yurou searched for relevant information, "Jobs is already in charge of his funeral arrangements. Now Apple's business is basically handed over to Cook. The doctor said he only has one or two years to live."

"Oh." Cao Yang nodded.

It's a little sad to think that a generation of heroes has come to an end.

"I still have to deal with this condition."

The little secretary didn't quite understand.

However, Zhuang Yurou was very happy when her boss agreed to take her to the Davos Forum.

In fact, she didn't know that Boss Cao just needed a tool.
