Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chapter 108 Annual Meeting Part (asking for monthly ticket subscription)
2006 12 Month 31 Day.

Many people did not sleep in the early morning of that day.

The list of participants in Renren's annual meeting will be announced today.

Although the ranking list did not change much by the last day, some people were still on guard against players outside the top ten stealing towers at critical moments.

At 1 a.m., Renren.com launched a page with the list of invitees for the special annual meeting.

The top ten users on Renren in terms of user level, the top ten users by number of followers, the top ten users in terms of total number of posts and replies, the top ten users with the most unlocked achievements, and ten lucky draw users, a total of fifty lucky winners, all received private messages from the background, and their IDs were included in the invitation list.

In addition, the top ten takeout orders, the top ten total consumption, and the top ten with the most achievements unlocked are also listed separately on one page.

"We will send the invitation letters to you through the Blue Knights of each school before 12pm on December 31st. Let's meet on New Year's Day."

There are a lot of replies below.

"See you there or see you."

“See you there +1”

"I envy those who can attend the annual meeting. It is said that they can eat for free and get free gifts."

"Alas, the tower theft failed. The tenth-place guy was very alert and a night owl."

"Just watch the live broadcast."

“Wahahahaha, I’ll put my hands on my hips and show off for a while, I’ve already received a private message in the background.”

"+1"

"The one above, are you guys selling this invitation?"

"No, that won't work. The administrator just asked for my ID number. I guess it's a real-name system."

"..."

The next day, someone received the invitation and couldn't wait to post it online, which made other users very jealous.

"I heard this thing is hard to do? I don't know. Someone gave me a ticket, but I'm still hesitating whether to go or not."

"What are you pretending to be upstairs? I'm telling you that it's a real-name system, and you can't use someone else's."

"Yes, my name is on the invitation."

"Is there an inside story? Did he get the invitation through the back door?"

"Nonono, no, Chen Pingjiang and I are in the same dormitory."

"Dude, which dormitory is he from? I'm going to block him right now."

"I envy those who share a dormitory with the big guys."

Chen Pingjiang looked at the post in front of him, his mouth twitched, and he had the urge to hit someone. The pretentious aura revealed between the lines, even if it turned into ash, Chen Pingjiang knew it was Zhao Shaoyang.

These guys kept asking him for invitation letters every day. Finally, Chen Pingjiang couldn't stand their harassment anymore, so he gave one to everyone in dormitory 603.

I didn't expect that Zhao Shaoyang would show it off online so soon.

Not long after, trouble came. Someone @陈平江 in the QQ group.

"Class monitor, everyone in your dormitory has an invitation to the Renren.com annual meeting, why don't the rest of us have one?"

"That's right, they are your classmates, and so are we. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much."

“He who sees it shall have a share, and he who sees it shall have a share.”

"..."

Zhao Shaoyang probably knew that he was in trouble, so he quickly called Chen Pingjiang to apologize. Chen Pingjiang scolded him harshly on the phone.

Are you cheating your father?

Now, all the classmates in the class want them, and it’s not right to give them, and it’s not right not to give them.

After thinking for a while, Chen Pingjiang typed a string of words.

"The venue is relatively small this year. It was my negligence. Next year I invite everyone to join us in the spring. I will then take everyone on a spring outing in the surrounding area."

"Everyone, stop making a fuss. Chen Pingjiang is busy with work, not traveling or entertaining people."

Zhu Guangtong also came out to help, and the discussions calmed down.

Time quickly arrived and it was New Year's Day, January 1st.

Today, except for the necessary staff on duty, the rest of the company rushed to the Wanbin Hotel in a mighty manner, and every employee had an excited look on his face.

The specific schedule of the annual meeting is that the entrance starts at 2 pm and the meeting officially begins at 2: pm. It starts with the leaders’ speeches and ends with Chen Pingjiang’s performance report. After the report comes the performance session that everyone is most looking forward to, and finally there is a raffle and dinner.

The arrangements are no different from those of most companies, and the schedule is full.

Today's protagonist is Chen Pingjiang. He was dressed in a neat suit and had arrived at the Wanbin Hotel at noon.

The annual meeting this time was held at a very high level. Chen Pingjiang even borrowed people from the hotel to man the registration and signature area. It can be said that he put a lot of effort into it.

At around 1:, Chen Pingjiang, Li Xi and Gao Songbin were already standing at the entrance of the banquet hall, ready to welcome guests and partners.

Li Xi is in charge of the sales team, and Gao Songbin is in charge of the field promotion team. These two people are most familiar with the partners.

In fact, many companies will invite partners and suppliers when they hold annual meetings. Firstly, they want to express their gratitude for their care over the past year, secondly, they want to strengthen cooperative relationships and enhance communication, and finally, they want to showcase the company’s strength and achievements.

After a while, users of Renren.com started to come in one after another, and they were the most active.

Some people took digital cameras and took pictures along the way, and exclaimed in amazement when they saw the magnificent banquet hall.

"Hey, handsome guy, is that the boss of your company, Chen Pingjiang?"

"Yes, he is our boss."

"Everyone says Chen Pingjiang is tall and handsome. I'll take a picture of him and share it with my sisters to satisfy their curiosity." After saying that, the girl took several pictures of Chen Pingjiang.

Li Xi and Gao Songbin were busy all the time, greeting people everywhere.

During this period, Wan Qiping, Lu Lizhen and his wife, and He Zhiyu and his wife also came over. Chen Pingjiang kept them company and chatted with them all the way so as not to neglect them.

The more such occasions are, the more they test one's ability to welcome and see off guests. One must not only distinguish between the big and small kings, but also take proper care of everyone's emotions.

The sharp-eyed He Zhiyu immediately noticed the various small electrical appliances arranged like a hill against the wall. He smiled bitterly, shook his head, and patted Chen Pingjiang's shoulder helplessly.

Chen Pingjiang laughed: "We should have a few drinks tonight. Yuanfang Supermarket is the largest sponsor of our annual meeting."

Leaders from the school such as Kuang Minghong, Lu Ye, and Zhu Guangtong all came together. They were quite impressed that Chen Pingjiang had made such a big fuss in just a few months.

When Ning Yongde arrived, many people came out to greet him and chat with him.

"Not bad, it's very well done." Ning Yongde said as he walked with his hands together.

“That is only possible with the support of leaders at all levels of Dongcai.” Chen Pingjiang smiled modestly.

"According to this trend, it won't be long before Dongcai will be proud of you." Ning Yongde said with a smile.

Qiao Zirang, the webmaster of Renren.com stationed at Donghai University of Communication, also came to the annual meeting today.

He is a very special existence in the entire Renren system. In name, he is also an employee of Renren, but he only needs to be active within the Communication University. So in fact, except for Wan Yuqian, who is in charge of human resources, he has never met anyone else, including Chen Pingjiang.

Coming to the site today, Qiao Zirang's sense of belonging to Renren.com has grown rapidly. When he met the legendary boss, Qiao Zirang was extremely curious. The name Chen Pingjiang is not only very popular in the University of Finance and Economics, but has even spread to Jiangning University Town.

The magnificent banquet hall and the high-tech stage were stimulating Qiao Zirang's senses. Exclamations came from the surroundings from time to time, making Qiao Zirang feel honored.

At this moment, there was a "bang" sound, all the lights went out, and it was pitch black everywhere.

The originally noisy banquet hall suddenly became quiet.

"Is there a power outage?" "That shouldn't be the case. This is such a big hotel."

As soon as the two finished speaking, the huge LED screen on the stage lit up, with a huge number "10" on it, and then began to count down.

With each number counted down, the anticipation of the people in the venue increased.

When the countdown reaches 0, the screen appears.

On the screen, a girl was handing out flyers, her shirt soaked with sweat: "Classmates, we are from Renren..."

The scene changes to the earliest office on the commercial street. The lighting is dim, the conditions are harsh, and everyone is working at their desks.

At the company dinner, everyone drank and talked about life.

The following video clips are all about Renren's entrepreneurial journey, recording and describing Renren from different perspectives.

Chen Pingjiang asked Zhuo Ling curiously: "Where did these videos come from?"

"Do you still remember Bai Lijia from the student union?"

Chen Pingjiang nodded: "Remember, she is from the External Relations Department and she is my subordinate."

"She was assigned to help our content department at the time, so she occasionally took the camera around to shoot. This time, I knew we were going to hold a party, so I went to get it from her. How is it? Not bad, right?"

Chen Pingjiang gave a thumbs up and said, "We need to preserve these. In a few years, when Renren goes public and posts them online, they will definitely be quite impressive."

The short film is still playing, and the camera has switched to Renren after it moved to 202 of Entrepreneurship Park.

The blue riders of Renren Waimai ride their electric scooters to travel through every corner of the campus, becoming a unique landscape on campus.

When the user receives the takeaway, a happy smile appears on his face.

Every scene is recorded of Renren.com till now.

Some people saw themselves in the short film, some were impressed by the rapid development of Renren, and more people felt that starting a business is not easy.

After the short film ended, the host came up.

"Damn, Renren is really generous. They even invited the top hosts of the provincial TV station to come over."

“I really like his variety shows.”

"The boss is awesome!"

……

When Ning Yongde and He Zhiyu finished speaking as the school leader and the representative of the cooperation partner, everyone knew that Chen Pingjiang's turn would be next.

Employees and partners who know Chen Pingjiang are looking forward to his speech. As the founder and CEO, Chen Pingjiang has a special status at the annual meeting.

Renren users and some partners who do not know Chen Pingjiang are curious about the mysterious young boss of Renren. They really want to see what magic this freshman has.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Pingjiang slowly walked onto the stage step by step.

He waved to the audience with a handsome smile.

"Hello everyone!"

Crash.

A voice rang out from the audience.

"Hi boss."

"The boss is awesome."

Zhao Shaoyang shouted excitedly: "Brother Chen, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"

"..."

When the shouting stopped, Chen Pingjiang raised the microphone and said, "Dear leaders, distinguished guests, dear colleagues of Renren, dear users of Renren and Renren Waimai, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend our annual meeting."

Another round of applause.

Young Renren users and company employees cheered loudly with excitement on their faces, and their palms were almost red from clapping.

Many representatives of partners were secretly amazed when they saw the admiring expressions on the faces of the young people around them.

It is normal for employees to applaud when a leader speaks, but no employees would ever look at the stage with such admiration.

It’s almost like chasing stars.

Chen Pingjiang was not at all stage-frightened and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"The video just now touched me deeply. The scene when I first started my business is still vivid in my mind. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. Winter has already arrived in the blink of an eye. Renren and Renren Waimai have also grown from nothing to what they are today."

He Zhiyu laughed in silence. Why did this guy sound like he was asking for trouble? People who have been in business for several years or even decades can say such things, but you have only been at Renren for a few months?
Chen Pingjiang continued, "We provide online social networking and online ordering and offline delivery services for 100,000 teachers and students in Xianlin University City. Here we get in touch with old friends, make new friends, indulge in the ocean of music and the mountain of knowledge. Here we have laughter and inexplicable touching moments. Thank you for your company along the way."

"Clap, clap, clap!" Another round of warm applause.

When the applause died down, Chen Pingjiang smiled and said, "During the summer military training, I had the urge to start a business and wanted to create an online social platform. Later, I met our CTO Mr. Miao Bingwei, who put all the ideas in my mind into practice. He is also the No. 1 employee of Renren."

Following the direction of Chen Pingjiang's finger, Miao Bingwei stood up with a smile and waved to the crowd.

In a corner of the audience, Yan Yan stared at the handsome figure on the stage, her eyes full of tenderness.

"I don't know what's wrong with your boyfriend's brain. Oh my God, he's just like a character in a novel. In just two or three months, he built such a big career from nothing. In comparison, the boys in our school are nothing." Cao Jie said with a smile, leaning on Yan Yan's shoulder.

"Later, we recruited more and more people. A few months later, they have become the backbone of the company and my right-hand men. If I have to thank them the most, it should be my alma mater, Dongjiang University of Finance and Economics. It was my counselor Zhu Guangtong, Dean Kuang, Dean Lu and our President Ning who provided computers and venues when the company was in the most difficult time. Without their strong support, Renren.com might have failed long ago."

The leaders of the University of Finance and Economics applauded with smiles on their faces.

"We would also like to thank our users and partners. You are the bread and butter of Renren!"

"If we were to summarize the achievements of Renren and Renren Waimai in 2006, it would be to lay the foundation. And our vision for 2007 is to take off!"

"We want all college students and even all citizens in Dongjiang to use Renren!"

"But is that enough?"

"We will also break out of Dongjiang and go to the whole country!"

With the almost roaring shout, everyone in the venue felt their blood boiling. Li Xi and the others clapped their hands crazily, their faces flushed as they shouted: "Take off! Charge!"

Ning Yongde nodded in admiration and said to Lu Ye and Kuang Minghong beside him: "The students you teach are really natural speakers. They are very contagious and have great ability to mobilize emotions."

Representatives of Renren's partners felt the aura of Chen Pingjiang and were quite shocked.

I didn't expect Renren to have such big ambitions and to enter the national market so soon.

No one would refuse such a valuable and potential collaborator, and many people have already planned to increase the budget when they return.

Chen Pingjiang paced with a smile: "I think the emergence of Renren Waimai is of epoch-making significance. First of all, it provides jobs for many college students who work and study. Up to now, we have 325 blue riders, with the highest daily income reaching 3500 yuan, and the average salary reaching yuan. When Renren Waimai covers the entire city of Dongjiang one day, how many jobs will we provide?"

Liu Cheng nodded in admiration: "If this trend continues, it won't be long before Xiao Chen becomes a celebrity in the district and the city."

Lv Lizhen also smiled and said, "Of course, as a major taxpayer and provider of jobs, any leader would be confused."

On the stage, Chen Pingjiang's voice continued: "The most important thing is that the emergence of Renren Waimai has changed people's lifestyles and provided everyone with diverse and convenient choices."

“Yes, we are changing the world!”

When Chen Pingjiang blurted out these words, it seemed that the entire evening was elevated to a higher level.

This is not only his mission as an entrepreneur, but also the vision and values ​​of Renren.

The entire venue suddenly burst into cheers and reached a climax.
